: The Internet plays a vital role in the competitive world of retail as more customers are showing their interest to purchase products from online stores. Such type of stores has been known to provide more offers and discounts in order to attract new customers and retain their returning customers. Therefore, the main intention of this research was to examine the relationship between E-service Quality and its impact on customer loyalty. Such factors assessed included which information storage kept secure and confidential, website performance, customer loyalty, job satisfaction, and more. As such, this study made use of primary and secondary data both in carrying out the research. From the analysis findings, a relationship between information security and confidentiality and loyalty was clearly observed, as well as a correlation between information security and confidentiality, and loyalty and website performance. Accordingly, age was found to strengthen the relationship between informational security and confidentiality, website performance, and loyalty. Similarly, the correlation between information security and confidentiality, website performance, and loyalty was improved by income, as well as the element of gender.

Water is vital for human life. The sustainable management of this scarce resource has become a challenge today due to the increasing demands on the growing population, increasing urbanization and rapid industrialization combined with increasing agricultural production. The assessment of surface water resources is essential at regular intervals. The main aim of the paper is, to estimate and evaluate the surface runoff in the Vegavathi catchment area in the Palar Basin. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) method is useful for calculating the flow volume from the land surface meets in the river or streams. The estimation of direct precipitation is always efficient, but not possible for most of the situation in the desired time. The use of geomatics, i.e., remote sensing and GIS technology, can be useful in overcoming the problem in traditional estimation methods. Attention was given to derive land use classes from satellite data of 2017 and hydrological soil group. The NRCS method is used for the flow estimation, the parameters such as slope, land use, etc.

: As per the the Allstate Canada Safe Driving Study report, Toronto was in 69 th position in accident rate among Canadian cities with an average of 6.45 accidents per 100 cars in 2014-2015. North York and Ajax, the borders of Toronto the accident rate was even worse with an average of 7.02 to 7.12 per 100 cars [1]. The higher the accident rate, the higher the death rate. By reducing the time lag between the accident and the initiation of medical care, one can prevent death or permanent disability. The distance between the accidents zones the emergency room play the vital role in reducing the death rate due to accident. As per the report, most of the accidents were at the outskirts of the city rather than within the city. But usually the most of the emergency rooms are within the city. In such cases mostly, the emergency rooms were far away from the accident zones. The objective of the work is to predict the most suitable place for establishing the emergency rooms using machine learning algorithms. Accident zones in Toronto, the dataset was taken from Toronto public service data portal and locations of emergency rooms were retrieved from Foursquare API. After mapping both the data set, the accident zones near the emergency rooms (which are at the distance of 1 km) are removed. Then accident dense area was found using hierarchical dbscan. K nearest neighbor algorithm is used to address the outliers. The suitable (core) location for the emergency room was found by taking the mean of each cluster. The distance between the core location and the emergency room was found. The core location with the longest distance was considered as the best place for establishing the new emergency room.

: Storage tanks play a vital role in process industries. Controlling the level in storage tank improves and accelerates the process throughput. PID controllers are pressed into service for control purposes and furthermore to tune the controller PSO driven FA is used here. The system to be analysed is segregated into four sub regions and a dedicated PID controller is employed for each and every region. In the proposed work the PID based PSO driven FA is compared with the conventional method (ZN) with MATLAB and Simulink software. The obtained results are validated in the order of time domain specifications and performance indices such as rise time, peak time, Peak Overshoot, Settling time and ISE, IAE and ITAE respectively. The optimized results are obtained with less number of iterations and with considerably less errors.

Generating high-quality images from text queries is a challenging problem in computer vision and has many practical applications. This paper proposes Stacked Generative Adversarial Networks (StackGAN) to generate 256 x 256 photo-realistic images conditioned on text descriptions. We resolve the hard problem into more manageable sub-problems through a sketch-refinement process. The Stage-I GAN gives the primitive shape and colors of the object based on the given text description, yielding Stage-I low-resolution images. The Stage-II GAN uses Stage-I results and text descriptions as inputs and generates high-resolution images with photorealistic details. It can correct defects in Stage-I results and add compelling details to the refinement process. To improve the generated images' variety and regulate the conditional-GAN training, we introduce a novel Conditioning Augmentation technique. Various experiments and comparisons with state-of-the-art benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant improvements in generating photo-realistic images conditioned on text queries.

Thiswork is on the synthesis of biodegradable Magnesium metal matrix composites using power metallurgy technique for the application of bone plate implants, which exhibit excellent biocompatibility; whereas Magnesium alloys show good compatibility but their mechanical properties are not that good enough for using as degradable materials for bone implants. Magnesium metal matrix composites containing ZK30 Magnesium alloy with five weight fractions of (2, 4, 6, 8, 10wt.%) Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP) [Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ] have been produced using powder metallurgy followed by hot extrusion for consolidation. The mechanical properties such as Hardness, Density, Porosity, Tensile and Compression tests were investigated. The micro hardness of Mg composites is found decreasing on increasing wt.% of TCP particles, also it can vary depending upon the quantity of TCP particles. The ZK30 Mg alloy and Mg composites have higher micro hardness than human bone. The composite density with weight fractions appears to have improved experimental density in most cases, whereas the porosity is found less. The ZK30/4wt%TCP holds a higher ultimate tensile strength of 241.462MPa whereas ZK30/10wt%TCP gives a minimum of 151.169MPa. However, for ZK30/4wt%TCP an increase in tensile strength is observed due to excellent inter atomic bonding between the ZK30 Mg alloy matrix and the reinforcement. A reasonably good ultimate compressive strength of 241.462MPa was recorded for ZK30/2wt.%TCP. However, the tested Mg alloy and the composites show higher tensile and compressive strength than human bone. The SEM observation in tensile and compression tests depict ductile fracture for ZK30 Mg alloy and brittle fracture for Mg composites. The micro hardness, tensile strength and compressive strength of Mg composites decreased on increasing wt.% of TCP particles. The Magnesium composite showed appropriate mechanical properties; thus, it is found a good choice for bone plates implants.
