Knowledge Management (KM) is an integrated approach used universally in knowledge intensive corporations, which maintains the competitive advantage for an organization in today's fast changing environment. Many organizations are able to get expected results when they introduce knowledge management into their organizational business processes. Agricultural food processing industries are growing at faster rate in India. In that sugar industry is the main food processing unit which contributes more than 50 % in terms of revenue. There is a lot of scope to improve the revenue and yield of sugar industry by application of appropriate knowledge management model. This paper contains the KM model for supplying sugarcane from remote & scattered locations to sugar industry. This paper also suggests a dynamic model of knowledge management, based on the analysis of many case studies of knowledge management in knowledge intensive organizations. The purpose of this model is to increase knowle...

We have developed a new fuzzy filter for the noise reduction in images having the additive noise. Our proposed filter works in two stages. The first stage of our filter computes the fuzzy derivatives for eight different directions. And the second stage of our filter utilizes these fuzzy derivatives to do fuzzy smoothing by taking weightage of the contributions of neighboring pixels. Both of the stages uses fuzzy rules which takes help of membership functions. This filter could be used many times iteratively to give more better results. While filtering, the membership functions are altered according to the amount of noise present in an image after every iteration. This is done by using the homogeneity in the image.

It is important to protect assets located within cavities vulnerable to incident shock waves generated by explosions. The aim of the present work is to explore if closed cell aluminum foams can mediate and attenuate incident shocks experienced by cavities. A small cavity of 9 mm diameter and 2 mm length was created within the steel end-wall of a shock tube and exposed to shocks, directly or after isolating by aluminum foam liners. Shock waves with incident pressure of 9–10 bar travelling at a velocity of 1000–1050 m/s were generated in the shock tube. Compared to the no-foam condition, the pressure induced in the cavity was either equal or lower, depending on whether the foam density was low (0.28 g/cc) or high (0.31 to 0.49 g/cc), respectively. Moreover, the rate of pressure rise, which was very high without and with the low density foam barrier, reduced substantially with increasing foam density. Foams deformed plastically under shock loading, with the extent of deformation decrea...

Excoecaria indica. (Willd.) Muell. Arg (Syn. Sapium indicum) (Euphorbiaceae), commonly known as Batul (Bengali), is a small, semi-deciduous to evergreen tree and is found in Sunamgonj, Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Sundarban, Barishal and other coastal areas of Bangladesh.1 ...

In this competitive market maintaining product quality is very important. Product dimension is one of the most important quality specifications and faulty product must be removed from the process at the earliest. For this different type of control strategy has been implemented in industries depends upon the types of product. In this project the product is passed on a conveyor belt, its height is sensed by sensors and the faulty one is removed from the process by using pneumatic system. A panel is designed to monitor the process and the entire system is controlled using Programmable Logic Controller.
