Digital transformation: Aiding Supply Chain Models

There is an expanding utilization of automation, data processing, and exchange, cyber-physical systems, Internet of things and cloud technology in the industry. Current plants experience consistent transformation, which has swayed on the association of assembling exercises, yet additionally on the working of supply chains. The model of contact with the end client, who every now and again moves into the virtual world, is changing, which legitimately means the arrangement of dispersion channels. The happening changes are alluded to as the Fourth Mechanical Upheaval, and we are its onlookers. This paper investigates the difficulties for present-day supply chains that emerge as an aftereffect of the fourth mechanical insurgency. It aims to address the inquiry to what degree the Digital Transformation influences the association of items and data streams in supply chains.

An incisive assessment of Walmart’s supply chain management

This paper aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of Walmart’s supply chain management. The fundamental objective is to understand the efficiency of its supply chain and its influence on the global market. The paper seeks to elaborate on three objectives which will serve as the primary interests of the research. The first objective is to establish the importance of supply chain management in Walmart’s phenomenal rise as a corporate giant. The second objective is to highlight the extent of efficiency of its supply chain management. The final objective of the paper is to discuss the challenges that Walmart currently faces and the scope for improvement in a particular area.

Review Paper

A comprehensive study of just-in-time commensurating Indian companies

This conceptual paper analyses the concept of Just in Time in the supply chain and whether it can be applied to an Indian scenario. Based on the understanding of articles that have conducted research regarding supply chain, it is learned that Just in time is one of the efficient ways to commensurate the company’s objectives to reduce costs. Although Just in Time seems helpful it shall not be a resort in India. India, being a developing nation, has to go through lots of advancements in the way businesses are operated. India being a rurally dominated society; companies have to produce according to the convenience of customers which forces them to peg their goods at an affordable rate and turn that as its primary objective. This policy of plummeting the costs through an efficient supply chain has worked well for all the companies but the question remains as to which technique to be implemented. The paper suggests an alternative to Just in Time, which shall be implemented with ease, Hybrid Supply Chain. This model can prove helpful to the companies if it is able to correspond well.

Manipulating and detecting greedy behaviour while disseminating emergency messages in urban VANET

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), whose main aim is to provide road safety and enhance the driving conditions, are exposed to several kinds of attacks such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks which affect the availability of the underlying services for legitimate users. The principle reason for wellbeing application is to give security street condition data to clients and consequently spare human lives from mischances. Cautioning messages are the more basic part of the security messages and latency of this message will leads to many problems. In the proposed work urban multi-hop broadcast protocol is used to disseminate the emergency message in all the directions simultaneously. This protocol assigns the duty of forwarding and acknowledging the broadcast packet to only one node among the candidate nodes and such a forwarding node is successfully chosen by the asynchronous contention among them. In this paper an enhanced forwarder node selection scheme is adopted which can manipulate back off greedy behaviour while disseminating the emergency message and a new algorithm called Forwarding Greedy Misbehaviour Detection (FGMD) is proposed to detect the existence of greedy behaviour in VANET. By monitoring network traffic traces, the algorithm is able to affirm the existence or not of greedy nodes using newly defined five parameters by fuzzy logic. The proposed system may result in better performance in terms of Message reception rate, throughput and transmission delay.

Water quality assessment of the Unnao Tannery region

The leather industry has gained immense socio-economic importance in India. Indian leather division has contributed significant economic growth by providing job opportunities. The main reason for the development and growth of the leather industry in the country is its large animal population. India holds nearly 10% of the total global availability of raw hides and skins which are the basic raw material for the leather industry. The impact of tanning and associated activities on air, surface and groundwater and soil pollution arise from the chemicals applied, the raw materials used and the effluents, waste and off-gas releases generated in the process. The tanning industry is known to be very polluting especially through effluents high in organic and inorganic dissolved and suspended solids content followed by propensities for high oxygen demand and containing potentially toxic metal salt residues.

Research Paper

Antinociceptive activity of selected Cadaba species

The present study was designed to investigate the antinociceptive activity of two species of Cadaba leaf extract using central and peripheral pain model viz., tail flick, tail immersion, hot plate method and acetic acid-induced writhing method (thermal and chemical stimuli). Alcohol and aqueous extract of Cadaba fruticosa and Cadaba trifoliata were administered orally at doses of 100 and 300 mg/kg to Swiss albino mice and Wistar rats. It was evident that 100mg and 300mg of aqueous and alcohol extract of C.trifoliata exhibited statistically significant antinociceptive activity against thermal stimuli. The effect was more profound in the heat-induced pain model than chemical-induced. This finding substantiates the traditional claim mentioned in the classical texts.
