2. A Descriptive Study on the Doctrine of Lifting of Corporate Veil

From the juristic point of view, a company is a legal person distinct from its members [Salomon v. Salomon and Co. Ltd. (1897) A.C 22]. This principle may be referred to as the ‘Veil of incorporation’. The courts in general consider themselves bound by this principle. The effect of this Principle is that there is a fictional veil between the company and its members. That is, the company has a corporate personality which is distinct from its members. But, in a number of circumstances, the Court will pierce the corporate veil or will ignore the corporate veil to reach the person behind the veil or to reveal the true form and character of the concerned company. The rationale behind this is probably that the law will not allow the corporate form to be misused or abused. In those circumstances in which the Court feels that the corporate form is being misused it will rip through the corporate veil and expose its true character and nature disregarding the Salomon principal as laid down by the House of Lords. Broadly there are two types of provisions for the lifting of the Corporate Veil- Judicial Provisions and Statutory Provisions. Judicial Provisions include Fraud, Character of Company, Protection of revenue, Single Economic Entity etc. while Statutory Provisions include Reduction in membership, Misdescription of name, fraudulent conduct of business, Failure to refund application money, etc. This article at first introduces to the readers the concept of “Veil of incorporation", then it explains the meaning of the term-‘Lifting Of The Corporate Veil’, it then points out the Judicial as well as the Statutory provisions for Lifting of The Corporate Veil with the help of various case-laws.

5. A Descriptive Study on Doctrine of Indoor Management

In the famous case of Royal British Bank V. Turquand, the court set forth a proposition of law that later came to be called the Doctrine of Indoor Management. The doctrine states that if a person in good faith deals with the board of directors or any other representative body if a company which is in fact exercising the power of management and direction of its business affairs. The failure to fulfil the conditions which are required by the company’s memorandum or articles to be fulfilled before the act or transaction is affected. This rule is an exception to the rule of Constructive notice. This rule has been in place of two reasons, Firstly, to limit the burden of inquiry placed on the shoulders of the third party entering into a transaction with the company and, secondly, the third party may not have the means to ascertain whether the inner formalities of the company are carried out properly or not properly. Thus the application of the Turquand rule, or the doctrine of indoor management, is restricted to people unaware of any irregularity in the authority of the agent with whom they are contracting.

9. Consumer Rights in E-Commerce

In a business system, consumers are the most critical elements. A business is not review in separation but is always considered in a combination with the consumers of its good and services. it is a matter of great shame that their consumer rights are not protected due to non-availability of effective and stringent laws and the ineffectual redressal mechanisms, specially in e-commerce or online transactions. E-commerce consumers should be no less protected when shopping on-line than when they buy from their local store or order from a catalogue. The number of electronic commerce (e-commerce) transactions has grown extraordinarily with widespread Internet usage. Recently, the privacy protection for consumer transactions has become more and more important in e-commerce. E-commerce is widely used to describe shopping on the Internet. It has been rapidly developing in accordance with the development of information technology and network technology. However, most of these laws and regulations have only been made for the protection of general consumer rights without specific provisions of the consumer rights protection in e-commerce.

14. Dual Cloud Secure Keyword Search Scheme with Public Key Encryption

Dual cloud database to realize convenient and low-cost applications and services. In order of services to provide sufficient functionality for SQL queries, many secure database schemes have been proposed. However, such schemes are vulnerable to privacy leakage to a cloud server. The main reason is that database is hosted and processed the cloud server, which is beyond the control of data owners. For the numerical range query (“>”, “<”, etc.), those schemes cannot provide sufficient privacy protection against practical challenges, e.g., privacy leakage of statistical properties, access pattern. Increased the number of queries will inevitably leak more information to the cloud server. dual cloud architecture for protecting the database, with a series of intersection protocols, are provided security preservation to various numeric related range queries.

16. Employer-Sponsored Childcare Program: A New Fringe Benefit

Nowadays employers are in search of new fringe benefits, they can provide to their employees. In March 2017, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assent some amendments in Maternity Benefit Act. He had not only revised paid maternity leaves from 12 weeks to 26 weeks but also made it mandate for companies having more than 50 employees should have their own childcare centers inside the campus or near-site. The employer-sponsored daycare facility is the new fringe benefit provided by organizations to their employees. The purpose of my study is to study the issues parents are facing in childcare. The focus of my work is to find out the impact of employer-sponsored childcare facility on employees and employer. Also, I have studied few organizational cases in this paper. My research work is based on secondary data. Very little research work is available on this topic. So I got very less literature to review. After reading few articles, research papers and reports, I came to the conclusion that every parent of small kids is facing issues in childcare. Many organizations which are providing this facility have experienced growth in productivity and employees who are availing this facility have improved their performance.

17. Device for Monitoring Pyrexia in Special Children and Tracking using a Two Way Communication GPS System

Child trafficking represents the major threat in today's world. It has increased the nation's consciousness to this problem. The proposed device is composed of a GPS tracker, Temperature sensor and a Force sensor (biometric sensors). The GPS tracker is powered by the thermoelectric generator (heat generated from within the body). The device is miniaturized using Nano technology and implanted in the teeth of the child. The proposed device communicates by a communication link to a Global Positioning System to obtain geographic location information relating to the physical location of a child. When the temperature readings from the sensor goes beyond the normal range an alert message will be sent to the parent’s/guardian mobile number, in this case it can be used to examine whether a special kid has a fever or not because he/she may not be able to properly communicate about their well-being. The device is programmed based on the fact that during flight conditions our body temperature varies abnormally. So, when someone forcefully tries to abduct the child the temperature readings on the temperature sensor goes abnormal which in turn activates the GPS tracker or when the child wants to intimate its location to their parent’s/guardian by exerting pressure on the force sensor which in turn sends the geographical location. If the parents have a bad feeling/intuition they can simple make a call to the inscribed number and they can get the geographical location of the child.

20. QT Prolongation Associated with Multiple Drug-Drug Interactions

Many drugs are known to prolong QT interval which increases the risk of development of ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest. The majority of sudden cardiac deaths are caused by acute ventricular arrhythmia following repolarization disturbances. An important risk factor for repolarization disturbances is use of QT prolonging drugs. Drug interactions also play a clinically significant role in the development of QT prolongation substantially, in patients receiving multiple drugs that are prone to prolong QT interval. The present case study reports two consecutive QT prolongation events associated with drug-drug interactions in a patient during his hospital stay. A 63-years-old Asian male patient was being treated for his complaints of breathlessness, uneasiness, chest discomfort and palpitation (baseline QTc being 457 msec). During his treatment, he developed QT prolongation (QTc=494 msec) suspected to be the result of concomitant use of levofloxacin, ondansetron and ivabradine; QT prolongation reduced after discontinuation of the suspected drugs. In the same patient, during the later course of therapy, a concomitant use of amiodarone and fluconazole caused QT prolongation (QTc=536 msec) again. This complication is best approached with immediate discontinuation of interacting drugs and considering their alternatives. Knowledge enhancement regarding QT prolonging drug combinations and rapid ECG monitoring while using those combinations will help circumvent such adverse events.

29. Theft Detection using Internet of Things in Automated Toll Plaza

Time is the most precious thing in this world, automation of toll plaza could be one of the best possible ways to save it. Automated toll plaza system using Radio Frequency Identification emerges as a converging technology where time and efficiency are matters of priority in toll collection systems of present day. Whenever the vehicle moves through the toll gate on any road, it is indicated on the RFID reader that the vehicle has crossed the clearing. The reader reads the information available in the RFID tag attached to the vehicle. Based on this information the controller first checks the criminal database for any sorts of complaints filed on the particular vehicle. If the data in the criminal database matches with the vehicle ID obtained over RFID then both the gates of the toll booth will be locked and a message regarding the identification of the stolen vehicle would be sent to the nearby police station. If there is no complaint on the particular vehicle ID then the transaction takes place through a centralized database and the payment receipt of the successful transaction is intimated to the user’s mobile through Way to SMS. The need for manual toll based systems can be completely eradicated using this method. By implementing this system there would be a high possibility to reduce the number of vehicle thefts. Also this would help to curtail the thieves from escaping to other places with the stolen vehicle. It would greatly help the cops to catch the thieves as the area to look for them would be minimized.

31. Load Cell based Fuel Level Measurement using Arduino Uno Microcontroller

The increasing corruption in fuel filling process as well as the increasing vehicle theft has become a big deal to the society. Thus, this paper has proposed a product that serves beneficiary to both these issues. The corruption in fuel filling process is rectified through fuel level measurement using load cell. Though there are a numerous methods to measure the fuel level including those like mechanical float, optical sensors, ultrasonic etc., the accuracy in measurement is met by the use of load cell involving Arduino uno microcontroller. Here the precision in measurement is made even in milliliter of added fuel. The measured output is sent via the global system for mobile communication (GSM) technology to the user mobile, so that verifiable record can be created. Thus, a permanent record of filled fuel can be maintained. This would help the owners of transportation network companies to maintain individual record of their vehicles that are run by their paid drivers. Apart from the level measurement, vehicle theft is overcome by the Global positioning system (GPS) technology. The GPS system fitted to the vehicle would share the accurate location of the vehicle to the registered user. In case of theft the location of the filling station along with the measured fuel is sent to the registered network through the GSM technology. Thus the paper produces a complete design of the fuel cell that is implemented in a GPS and GSM enabled vehicle.

39. Effect of Graded Motor Imagery on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients-A Case Study

Background and purpose-GMI is a dynamic state during which the representation of a specific motor action is internally reactivated within working memory without any overt motor output. The imagery of movement activates largely the same brain areas that are activated when movement is actually performed. Motor impairment after stroke is a major cause of permanent disability. Recovery of the upper extremity is crucial in order to perform activities of daily living but is often variable and incomplete. It is proven that prolonged passive movement therapy in stroke patients neither improves performance nor induces cortical plasticity. And an early initiation of active movement becomes difficult due to lack of motor performance. Graded motor imagery (GMI) can be used to bridge this gap between passive therapy and active therapy. The method-a descriptive case study was carried out on two patients screened from the community and selected through purposive sampling. They were given graded motor imagery (GMI) for 5 days a week for 4 weeks 60 minutes per session along with conventional therapy for 30 minutes. The outcome measures were Fugl Meyer assessment of sensorimotor function after stroke (FMA) and The Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory (CAHAI) which were administered to the patient before and after the intervention period of 4 weeks. Result-for FMA the one-tailed p-value is 0.0155 which is statistically significant at 95% confidence interval. For CAHAI the one-tailed p-value is 0.0155 which is statistically significant at 95% confidence interval. Discussion- GMI is known to stimulate the premotor area, supplementary motor area, cingulate area and parietal cortical area as well as basal ganglia and cerebellum by inducing cortical plasticity leading to improvement in motor function which goes in accordance with our result. Conclusion-upper extremity function shows significant improvement after graded motor imagery along with conventional therapy on FMA Scale and CAHAI scale.

40. Experimental Study on Concrete by Partial Replacement of River Sand with Sea Sand

The rapid growth in development of construction industry is leading to an increase in utilization of natural resources like river sand due to which there has been a much scarcity of availability for construction. This overuse should be balanced by introducing certain abundantly available other natural materials which can be replaced to the river sand. The sea sand seems to have certain similar properties and can be used as a constituent of concrete. This can reduce the river sand replenishment and decrease various ecological imbalances. The fast growth in industrialization has resulted in tons and tons of by-product or waste materials, which can be fly ash, crushed stone dust, silica fume, and granulated blast furnace slag, steel slag etc. The use of these by-products not only helps to utilize these waste materials but also enhances the properties of concrete in fresh and hydrated states. In the present work, a series of tests were carried out to make comparative studies of various mechanical properties of concrete mixes prepared by using Sea Sand. If some of the materials are found suitable in the concrete making, cost of construction can be cut down. So in the present study, an attempt has been made to assess the suitability of Sea sand in concrete making. Cubes and beams were cast and tested for compressive strength and flexural strength after 7 days and 28 days. The Sea sand is replaced in percentages of 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%.

47. Smart Dustbin for Smart City using Solar

This paper offers a new method for the garbage collection by garbage level detection. This study has been undertaken to investigate the garbage level in different levels by using smart dustbins. In the modern age, Urbanization has increased tremendously. At the same phase, there is an increase in waste production. Waste management has been a crucial issue to be considered. So, inspired by the Swachh Bharat Mission, we developed a Smart Dustbin which will sense the position of human and automatically opens the lid of the dustbins. It monitors the garbage bins and informs about the levels of garbage collected in the garbage bins via sending SMS to the cleaning staff and supervisor of the Municipal Corporation. Once the garbage reaches the threshold level ultrasonic sensor will trigger the GSM modem which will continuously alert the cleaning staff and supervisor until the garbage in the dustbin is squashed. Foul smell from the rotten wastes that remain untreated for a long time, due to the negligence of authorities and carelessness of public may lead to long-term problems. [1] So once these smart bins are implemented on a large scale, by replacing our traditional bins present today, waste can be managed efficiently as it avoids unnecessary lumping of wastes on the roadside and keeps the city clean.

48. RF Controlled Robot to Travel on Uneven Surface for Space Applications

Communication systems play a major role in maintaining communication between humans or organizations or institutions or radio broadcasting programs via wired or wireless communication systems. To overcome disadvantages of wired communications, advancement in technology has resulted in the development of most advanced wireless communication systems including wireless radio frequency technology, infrared technology, GSM technology, and so on. NASA recently started an ambitious exploration program for Mars. Pathfinder is the first rover explorer in this program. Future rovers will need to travel several kilometers over periods of months and manipulate rock and soil samples. They will also need to be somewhat autonomous. Rocker-bogie based rovers are likely candidates for these missions.The physics of these rovers is quite complex. To design and control these, analytical models of how the rover interacts with its environment are essential. Models are also needed for rover action planning. Simple mobility analysis of rocker-bogie vehicles has been developed and used for design evaluation. In the available published works, the rocker-bogie configuration is modeled as a planar system. MATLAB is used for programming. Mankind has long sought improved methods of land transport. In recent years, practical mobile robots have been successfully used in environments such as factories, offices, and hospitals as well as outdoors on prepared surfaces and terrain with minor irregularities. However, reliable mobility on extremely uneven terrain remains an elusive goal for man-made devices.

49. Design and Analysis of a Nozzle to Enhance Noise Suppression

The project mainly concentrates on the suppression of noise at the exit of the nozzle of the turbofan engine of the aircraft. The new concept was introduced in the convergent nozzle of the aircraft to reduce the noise emission. We introduced corrugated plates near the exit of the convergent nozzle which also has chevrons at the trailing edge of the nozzle exit. The analyses were carried out with various parameters in the nozzle. After the assessment of the nozzle parameters we are going to modify the angle of the corrugated plates in order to suppress the noise emission with small amount of thrust loss. ANSYS- Fluent software were used to analyze the nozzle with the different orientation of the corrugated plates.

50. Significance of DNA in Conviction of Rape Accused

DNA is an abbreviation of Deoxyribo nucleic acid. It’s an organic substance which is found in every living cell and gives an individual a personal genetic blue print. It can be extracted from blood, saliva, semen, hair, bones and other organs of the body. DNA technique now enjoys legitimacy all over the world. The technique helps the identification of criminals on scientific lines. However the technique requires great care and caution. DNA is essentially made up of amino acids and it’s matched with so called bases which provide the key to determining the genetic blueprint. Each and every cell in the human body has a sample of DNA. Presently, there is no concrete law, specific law to govern the admissibility of forensic technique however the courts of law derives the validity of forensic technique from various provisions of Code Of Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act. The paper will examine the role of DNA in criminal investigation for rape victim. In this paper author tries to find out whether the forensic technique especially in DNA profiling helped to find out accused of rape victim.It describes the main benefits and costs of the increasing role of DNA identification in the criminal justice system with special emphasis to India. We hope that the challenges of DNA technologies will be solved in future

54. Cricket score and winning prediction using data mining

Data Mining and Machine Learning in sports analytics is a brand-new research field in computer science with a lot of challenge. In this research, the goal is to design a result prediction system for a T20 cricket match, in particular for an IPL match while the match is in progress. Different Machine Learning and statistical approach were taken to find out the best possible outcome. A very popular mathematical technique named Multiple Linear Regression is used in order to make a comparison of results found. This model is very much popular in predictive modeling. Currently, in Twenty-Twenty(T20) cricket matches first innings score is predicted on the basis of a current run rate which can be calculated as the number of runs scored per the number of overs bowled. It does not include factors like the number of wickets fallen, venue of the match, toss. Furthermore, in second innings there is no method to predict the outcome of the match. In this paper a model has been proposed that predicts the score in each of the innings using Multiple Variable Linear Regression along with Logistic regression and finally the winner of the match using Random Forest algorithm.

56. Energy efficiency improvement of induction motor by integral cycle control using ATMEGA controller

At present situation, all house and industries have more than one number of the ceiling fan which operates on an average of 10-15 hours/day. So the contribution of a fan in the overall energy consumption of house and industry is of considerable value since there is no existing system which deals with reducing the energy consumed by a fan. By our proposed system we can reduce the energy consumption of fan by controlling the supply given to it. To control the voltage a control switch is used in addition to a microcontroller. So by effectively reducing the energy consumption of the electric fan, major changes can be seen in overall energy saving in all houses and industries. In Single-phase induction motors for a high starting torque, a capacitor-start capacitor-run arrangement is used; the speed is usually controlled by voltage control methods. This paper is implemented to control the speed of split phase induction motor by controlling load voltage depends upon the ratio of ON and total (ON+OFF) periods or the number of ON and OFF cycles of the supply voltage.

61. Question paper generating system

In the present age, the instruction is the most critical method for making progress. When we talk about training, it is basic to say tests and examination. Examinations plan understudies in their mission for learning. Along these lines, having a legitimate examination paper and configuration is very essential. Presently the customary strategy for creating question paper has been manual. In this technique, certain authorities chalk out the inquiry paper. In any case, this strategy can be insufficient now and again attributable to inclination, reiteration and security concerns. We have proposed a computerized procedure of Question Paper Age which is quick, streamlined, randomized and secure. Each errand performed by this framework is mechanized with the goal that storage room, inclination, and security isn't a worry any longer. Besides, we have proposed another calculation which guarantees add up to randomization of inquiries and stays away from reiterations. The proposed framework can be useful to numerous instructive establishments and NGO based organizations.
