1. Overview of rural marketing in India

Rural Marketing decides the doing of business exercises acquiring the progression of merchandise from urban divisions to the rustic locales of the nation just as the promoting of different items fabricated by the non-rural laborers from country to urban zones. A number of techniques like item, value, advancement, dissemination, showcasing and deals systems can assist different associations with capturing an enormous piece of the overall industry of country India. In any case, it isn't that simple to work in the provincial market as a result of a few issues, for example, immature individuals and immature markets, Inadequate Media inclusion for country correspondence, Multi-language and Dialects, Traditional Values, Lack of legitimate physical correspondence offices. Be that as it may, each issue has its answer. Along these lines, the issues of country promoting can be explained by improving framework, transportation, correspondence, warehousing, and pressing offices.

5. IR based image processing techniques for media applications

A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media that includes images, audio and video caused by the application of lossy data compression that involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes simplified enough to be stored within the desired disk space or be streamed within the bandwidth limitations. At low bit rates, any lossy block-based coding scheme introduces visible artifacts in pixel blocks and at block boundaries. These boundaries can be transforming block boundaries, prediction block boundaries, or both, and may coincide with macroblock boundaries. Because this quantization process is applied individually in each block, neighboring blocks quantize coefficients differently. This leads to discontinuities at the block boundaries. These are most visible in flat areas, where there is little detail to mask the effect.

10. Framework for information management through step sequencer

Data is now commonly stored in digital format because it is the most secure way to store, manage, access and share information across networks. However, there is always a risk that unauthorized users will access data and, in the worst case, that malicious hackers will modify the data. The symmetric cryptosystem is used in the approach proposed. The symmetric cryptosystem is used in the proposed method. Data is divided into two sub-blocks and each block is encrypted to provide enhanced security using three separate secret keys. This deterministic algorithm is implemented using the LabVIEW tool. One of the three keys that diffuses the one other keys provided by the information is for misunderstanding. In the proposed solution blocks the main search attacks heavily. There are two separate secret keys used and to improve the robustness of the algorithm, random rotation is applied.

12. A search for the origin and cause of attractive and magnetic property in meteorites

Abstract. Meteorites are known to be attracted to a magnet, whether they possess magnetic property or not are unknown. Hence to study the attractive property and magnetic property in meteorites, seven meteorites, six iron meteorites namely Campo-del-Cielo 2 nos, Sikhote Aline 1 no., unknown iron meteorites 3 nos, and Chelyabinsk, a stony meteorite were investigated to study their attractive property and magnetic property. For the study purpose, three experiments were conducted through mariner compass, standard magnets of different strength and iron filings. The conclusion drawn from these experimental studies showed that meteorites do not possess any magnetic property. They are found to be strongly attracted towards a magnet because of Fe compounds i.e., [Fe (iron) and Ni (nickel)] and possibly may be due to unknown elements present in them. This paper reports the work carried on seven meteorites on a preliminary basis, to study the attractive and magnetic property in meteorites and to put on records the work carried out. This work is of prima facial in knowing and studying the attractive and magnetic property in meteorites by different and simple methods. This is a small attempt to solve the fundamental question about magnetic property in meteorites.

15. Impact of fluctuations in exchange rate on Sensex

This paper analyses the “Impact of Fluctuations in Exchange Rate on Sensex.” The scope of the study has been restricted to India only. The exchange rates used for the study are of Re/$. The issue of whether stock prices and trade rates are connected or not has gotten significant consideration. On the off chance that stock prices and trade rates are connected and the causation keeps running from trade rates to stock prices, at that point, the emergency in the securities exchanges can be counteracted by controlling the trade rates. In addition, creating nations can endeavor such a connection to pull in/invigorate outside portfolio interest in their very own nations. So also, in the event that the causation keeps running from stock prices to trade rates, at that point experts can concentrate on Local financial arrangements to balance out the securities exchange. On the off chance that the two markets/costs are connected then, financial specialists can utilize this data to anticipate the conduct of one market utilizing the data on other markets.
