Role of emotional intelligence in employee engagement of it professionals

The study intends to observe the role of emotional intelligence on employee engagement. It was assumed that IT professionals with high emotional intelligence would have higher employee engagement level as compared to IT professionals with low emotional intelligence. For the purpose an emotional intelligence scale and employee engagement scale were administered on 4000 professionals employed in the Indian IT sector.

The order of defuzzification for intuitionistic fuzzy dematel method

The ability to map the relationship between elements in a system that is characterized by either a cause or effect group is the main advantage of the DEMATEL method. It has been integrated with fuzzy set theories since it can provide more reasonable results in an uncertain environment. However, the computational complexity of the Intuitionistic Fuzzy DEMATEL (IF-DEMATEL) method has become one of the limitations to researchers in previous studies. Thus, the aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of the order of defuzzification in IF-DEMATEL.

Dropbox – analysis an assuming project management consultancy report

The report aims at providing essential data to assists the client (Dropbox), the company (Dropbox) and consultation team in fulfill their goals for the client, this material breaks down the precise course of action to be done, the cost estimated and risks during each course, the solution to balance different stakeholders and the guideline on effective utilization of the resources.

Spectroscopic comparative analysis of nicklecholoride, cobalt sulphate, copper nitrate and copper chloride solution filters

The study of the filters is essential in colorimetry. The filters are mostly used to get monochromatic radiation of a particular frequency band. The best filter is that which gives minimum transmission for a give concentration and depth of cell. The observations of various experiments regarding the individual transmittance spectra, expected transmittance spectra superimposed spectra and observed spectra of solution filters shows various spectral region at 0.01 M concentration.

Effects of a growth promoter on different vegetable crops

There are references of the use of the growth promoter VIUSID agro in crops such as bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and anthuriums (Anthurium andreanum Lind.) in tropical conditions, however, in horticultural crops such as lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla.), beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) there is no product use technology. Whereby the aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of VIUSID agro on the productive performance of these vegetables in terms of organoponics or urban agriculture.

Screening of chickpea varieties, cultivars and genotypes against fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is one of the most destructive pathogen, causing wilt disease in chickpea and thereby inflicting account table quantitative as well as qualitative losses. Under natural epiphytotic conditions (Rabi 2013-2014), all the 50 chickpea entries exhibited different reactions against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri.

Cultural, morphological and molecular variability of fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri isolates by rapd method

Cultural, morphological and molecular characteristics of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, eight isolates indicated a great variability amongst them. However, the isolate FOC-2 (Jalna) exhibited maximum mycelial growth of 90.00 mm. The isolates viz., Jalna (FOC-2) and Beed (FOC-3) produced partially submerged (FOC-2) to submerged (FOC-3) white sparse dense growth with smooth margin and bright white substrate pigmentation. Maximum micro-conidial, macro-conidial and chlamydospore size (17.20 µm, 30.50 x 7.00 µm and 21.80 x 19.60 µm) was recorded in isolate Jalna (FOC-2).

Frequent load shedding: its effects on the cold chain and milk quality in the large scale dairy value chain in mashonaland east province, zimbabwe

The study sought to analyse the effect of load shedding on the dairy cold chain and milk quality in the dairy value chain. Thirty large scale dairy farmers in Mashonaland East were randomly selected for the survey. Farmers were grouped into two clusters according to their method of milk delivery (can and bulk milk collection). Key informants and experts were interviewed in case studies to get in depth knowledge. The study revealed that the province was experiencing massive unscheduled load shedding, averaging three times per week and ranging between 4-15 hours per day in duration.

Anti-tumor activity of newcastle disease virus strains (af 2240 and v4-upm) on aom-induced acf in sprague–dawley rats

Azoxymethane rat model is a well-established, well-appreciated, and widely used model of experimental colon carcinogenesis. Anti-tumor activity of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains AF2240 and V4-UPM was evaluated in-vivo to investigate the effect of different doses of NDV on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in Sprague–Dawley rats initiated with the colon carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM).
