The genetic and non-genetic factors affecting milk fat, protein and milk mineral composition in crossbredcattle were investigated. The effect of breeds was highly significant on copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), potassium (K), fat and protein, significant (p≤0.05) on calcium (Ca) and non-significant on phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) content. The Ca, Cu, fat and protein were significantly higher in Murrah buffalo followed by Tharparkar cattle and crossbred cattle. However, Mn and Zn were higher in Tharparkar cattle followed by Murrah buffalo and crossbred cattle. Tharparkar milk was also rich in Na and K followed by crossbred cattle and Murrah buffalo. The effect of parity was highly significant only on Mn, whereas, effect of lactation stage (LS) was significant on Fe and Cu in milk of crossbred cattle. The effect of Test Day Milk Yield (TDMY) wa...

Design/methodology/approach The data collected from 434 faculty members with a response rate of 72% is analyzed and the mediation effect of employee commitment between the QWL and job performance of the faculty is modeled through partial least square-structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicate that employee commitment partially mediates between QWL and job performance. To strengthen the result, mediation of employee commitment is also tested for each dimension of the QWL with job performance. All the factors of QWL also supported a partial mediation effect. Practical implications The findings of the study may help the policymakers to understand, frame and implement appropriate policies for improving the work-life quality and commitment among th...

As an effect, personal life of human being is being ruled by the work. Further, it has been observed that there is a motive (drive) behind every work of person and if that drive is economic, the work becomes more attractive. Since employees are more skilled and well-informed now-a-days, they expect additional privileges than just normal wages or salary. Bonus based on productivity, rent free accommodation, medical facilities etc. are some of the exciting economic factors which may lead to high working life quality. This study is conceptual in nature and on the basis of literature available, it will throw light on impact of economic factors in improving the working life quality of employees and organizational performance. The present study will be useful for policy makers while framing their HR policies for the employees in an organization.

The present analytical solution is applicable to composite, sandwich and hybrid panels having arbitrary angle-ply lay-up, material properties, and boundary conditions. The modified Hamiltons principle approach has been applied to derive the weak form of governing equations where stresses, displacements, electric potential, and electric displacement field variables are considered as primary variables. Thereafter, multi-term multi-field extended Kantorovich approach (MMEKM) is employed to transform the governing equation into two sets of algebraic-ordinary differential equations (ODEs), one along in-plane (x) and other along the thickness (z) direction, respectively. These ODEs are solved in closed-form manner, which ensures t...

The plate is subjected to Levy-type boundary condition. A closed-form solution is developed using extended Kantorovich method. Deflections and stresses by taking three varying indexes \( (\delta_{1} ) \) are studied under different boundary conditions.
