A Finite Element (FEM) model has been developed using Ansys 15 to analyse the built-up steel beams. The aim of this research work is to study the behavior of the built-up steel beams. When built-up sections have smaller depths, they may behave like a beam element and the bending moment may be predominant. When the depth becomes large, the built-up section may behave like a truss where in the bending moment will be negligible. At moderate depths, both bending moment and axial force may be predominant in the member. A parametric study has been performed for a number of beams with different geometry sections. Commercial finite element computer program ANSYS is used to perform linear as well as non-linear analysis for different models. The results of the ANSYS model were validated with result of the STAAD. Prosoftware. The forces, bending moment and deflections are computed and the behaviors of the built-up sections were analyzed. The details are presented in the paper.

Revenue management is extensively utilized by the hotel industry to decide on room allocation and tariff. Hotel revenue management is a scientific method that also increases the profitability of the hotel business. Hotels uses revenue management to replenish inventory, to predict demand and to set the price of the product. The Revenue Management structure are also deployed by airline industries, hotel industries, electric utilities etc. The concept of "Price Multipliers" is based on concession which varies in seasonal indicated price. Nowadays, this "Price Multipliers" concept is adapted by Dynamic Pricing in the industry. The price multipliers has its impact from occupancy till arrival. In this study the authors', highlights on various room packages offered at The Gateway Hotel IT Expressway, Chennai and its effect on hotel revenue management. The proposed approach is based on utilizing "Seasonal Packages" and to maximize the revenue, the demand -price sensitivity and also taking in to account on current demand of the guest.

The aim of this investigation is to achieve optimal design of reinforced concrete columns. Optimal design of columns gives economical results in cost saving. This optimum results provides the designers to indentify the best design for the structures. The most economic structure means that could able to withstand the structure without impairing any damages and supposed to serve as a best design of a structure. The objective function is the total cost of the column. The cost of each column includes the cost of concrete and reinforcement. The optimization process is done for different grade of concrete and diameter of rods. The optimal design is carried out using MATLAB's (The Mathworks, Inc.) software. Optimization problem is formulated which is a Nonlinear constrained minimization problem. This is solved using fmincon SQP Algorithm. Each of the designed columns was handled by fmincon SQP Algorithm solver according to its loading condition specifications. Many solved examples are developed and proved that the optimal design is economical. Also it is proved that the developed program is efficient and versatile.

Social workers and other helping professionals provide treatment and services to populations that have experienced trauma, and in doing so, are indirectly or secondarily exposed to explicit details of these traumatic events. Negative effects experienced by workers and students in training, associated with indirect trauma exposure, have been reported in the literature. The following paper describes related terms found in the literature to describe these specific negative effects, with primary emphasis on secondary traumatic stress and its prevention. Secondary traumatic stress effects reported by helping professionals and students in training will be discussed. This paper also reviews the literature on risk factors for developing secondary traumatic stress, and teaching strategies to prevent the development of secondary traumatic stress or reduce these effects, when present.

We are living in a world where technology is becoming more and more important every day. The word E-Learning has become the most significant word among the students, teachers and in every educational environment. E-mails, instant messaging, blogs and wikis have transformed the way we communicate and share information with each other. This also allows learners and teachers to gather knowledge and information. It involves some form of interactivity, which may include online interaction between the learner and their teacher. The traditional way of teaching and learning require a transformation or it should be enhanced. Integrating E-Learning into secondary educational system can, however, be a major challenge. This paper summarizes that the new technologies like Skype, You tube, twitter, blogs, mobile phone apps etc will definitely improve the proficiency of language learning and teaching.

Flexible manufacturing system, the word is simple to understand but indeed difficult to achieve. Many firms failed to achieve flexible manufacturing system, become history and firms who effectively achieved it, have pioneered themselves in manufacturing industry. The ultimate need to flexible manufacturing system arises from very basic rule of environment, nothing is permanent. The changing needs, choices, priorities and preferences of business or its stakeholder dynamic behaviour forces firms to be flexible enough to deliver what is required. A manufacturing company needs flexibility and system utilization for its high level of throughput. This review study emphasizes some of the major contributions to the flexible manufacturing system and recent development in the field. The study enfolds major components of flexible manufacturing system namely automatic guided vehicles (AGV), Scheduling, artificial neural network and simulation modeling.

Quality management (QM) is generally observed as a philosophy that goals to achieve customer satisfaction through continuous improvement and team work. The conversion towards QM is coupled with its spread, from the manufacturing to the service sector and onto public services ( Dale, 1999) Implementation of QM becomes a top management plan in many organizations in the pursuit of positive business benefits, such better product quality, higher customer satisfaction and minimum quality cost and enhance supply chain. Some recent studies uphold that many organizations launched QM programs have increase positive results. There have been several approaches and model suggested for the QM introduction and implementation. This paper presents main finding of a recent study that investigated the critical factors of quality management affecting the implementation of QM in supply chain. This study seek to identify the critical factors and sub factors to implement quality management in supply chain using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approach. A general hierarchy model was expanded to help prioritization these factors and formulate approach for quality management implementation in supply chain.

Earlier, web services are used to retrieve data for small amount of user only, but now a day's more data retrieved through web services by more number of users in all the actions of day to day life. There are numerous web services available in the internet to collect the data. Today internet plays a vital role in every body's life. Internet provides all the information one can access through the web service. To make the retrieval more efficient, Hidden Markov Models (HMM) &Mediator Agent Model are used in the project. The Hidden Markov Models can be used to measure and predict the behavior of Web Services in terms of response time, and thus can be used to rank services quantitatively. The mediator agent Model is used to select web services with the help of ranking method. The Mediator Agent Model will provide web service to the user from the web service provider. It will be processed in such a way that optimal result is obtained. If many users refer the optimal site then server loading will occur to reduce that problem server redirection is used in this project.
