For any company, whether big enterprises or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), inventory is one of the key assets. Therefore, inventory-related decisions directly influence the revenue generated by the firm. This work aims to find a sufficient degree of control over each inventory item and to mitigate the inventory management problems of SMEs. Rank Order Clustering (ROC) algorithm is used in this study for multi-item inventory item aggregation. The proposed framework is tested on a medium-sized gearmanufacturing firm that manufactures 40 different types of planetary and customized gear-boxes. The results demonstrate 47.64 % of cost-saving through the proposed methodology of cluster formation using ROC and quantity discounts. This approach helps to identify different assemblies to aggregate the component requirements and to formulate a particular inventory strategy to minimize inventory carrying costs for each component.

FACTS controller is the Power Electronics based static controller which enhance power transfer capability and increase controllability of the power system network. Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is VSC based controller which is used in transmission network with the aim of utilization of existing line upto its fullest extent. This paper demonstrates transmission line power flow control with the help of SSSC. A control scheme of SSSC is presented to control active power flow in the line. Increase in the power flow in the line is realized with SSSC operation in capacitive mode of operation and decrease in the power flow is realized with SSSC operated in inductive mode of operation. MATLAB simulation studies are demonstrated to validate the SSSC operation.

In current years, a large amount of image data is being collected worldwide, which is majorly generated by corporate organizations, health industry and social networking sites. With the strength of substantial level depiction of images, Annotating image has numerous applications not only in image understanding and analysis but also in some of the concern domain like medical research, rural and urban management. Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) has been raised since the late 1990s due to inherent weaknesses of manual image annotation. In this paper, a deep review of the most recent stage in the development of AIA methods is presented by synthesizing 32 literatures published during the past decades. We classify AIA methods into five categories: 1) Kernel Logistic Regression (KLR), 2) Tri-relational Graph (TG), 3) Semantically Regularised CNNRNN (S-CNN-RNN), 4) Label Correlation guided Deep Multi-view (LCDM), and 5) Multi-Modal Semantic Hash Learning (MMSHL). Considering inspiration on the basis of main idea, framework of model, complexity of computation, time complexity and accuracy in annotation Comparative analysis for various AIA methods are done.

India is primarily a rural region, with more than half of the country’s population and 70 percent of the work force living in rural areas. Approximately 46 percent of national income depends on rural income making it one of the highest contributors of the national economy. Urbanization of inhabitants of rural sector though increasing on an average, it is projected that around 2050 more than half of the national population will be living in rural sectors. Urbanization thus not only affects the economy of the rural sector but, also leaves illiterate farmers back in the village with no manpower and a lot of area. Thus, growth and development of rural economy and population are one of the key factors, to overall growth and comprehensive development of the country. This paper makes an attempt as an assessment in proposing a solution developing a web-based solution for the farmers to find man-power, experts and potential investors for their land. The solution proposed will have different modules to help farmers in every way possible from finding an investor to helping them sell their harvest online to finding man-power their lands. Keywords--Migration, Economy, Rural, Employment Ratio, Agriculture, Technological adaptation, Ecommerce Platform, Urbanization.

Scientific and innovative society can be produced by giving priorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as emphasized by Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint (2015-2025). STEM need to be implemented at higher education because universities need to produce competent graduates to support economy growth and sustainable development. Learning STEM through Problem Based Learning might allow the undergraduates to become more enthusiastic when problem-based instruction is incorporated with STEM by implementing teamwork and problemsolving techniques to engage the first-year undergraduates fully with the learning. This study was conducted to investigate whether Integrated STEM Problem Based Learning Module could enhance and retain the interest towards genetics concepts among first-year undergraduates. Topics in genetics was considered difficult not only to teach but also to learn. In this research, to overcome the genetic concepts learning difficulties, genetic related topics were chosen to introduce STEM through problem-based learning approach, which might help first-year undergraduates to acquire deep genetic content knowledge. This is very vital for the first-year undergraduates, as the knowledge gained in their first semester will be applied in the upcoming courses in their entire undergraduates’ programs of study. A Pre-Experimental research design with one group-posttest design was applied. A total of 50 participants who are first-year undergraduates from Faculty of Biology from one of the public universities in Malaysia were involved. The Genetics Interest Questionnaire used to study if the STEM Problem Based Learning Module could enhance and retain the interest towards genetics concepts. The research has proven that Integrated STEM through problem-based learning approach could enhance and retains the interest in learning genetics concepts among first-yearundergraduates.
