The quest for learning more about the minute intricacies of the universe has fascinated mankind since ages. From stars to planets and asteroids to exoplanets, each research endeavor in astronomy has supplemented our knowledge about the cosmos. NASA's Kepler Mission is one monumental step in this direction wherein, telescopes conduct a survey of the Milky Way galaxy and try to identify thousands of earth-size and other smaller planets in or near the habitable zone, so as to determine the thousands or even millions of stars in our galaxy that might have such orbiting planets. Exoplanet is any new planet outside the solar system which orbits a star. Identifying new exoplanets gives us a chance to precisely understand the planet formation processes. Earlier, it was a laborious endeavour to mine the mission data using traditional algorithms and churn out the possible exoplanets. Ever since the advent of various machine learning algorithms, this process has become quite seamless. However, not all algorithms give equal and promising results when it comes to analysing different types of data. A comparative study of algorithms helps in this regard, thereby identifying the pros and cons of different algorithms for analysing certain forms of data. In this paper, we initially focus on feature set reduction using principal component analysis and thereafter make a detailed comparative analysis of ML algorithms for the identification of exoplanets, in the NASA Kepler mission data. © 2022 Elsevier B.V..

Cricket, the second most popular sport in the world, has emerged as one of the most widely played international mainstream sports in the world. With the advent of newer formats such as the Twenty-twenty (T-20) over cricket, the popularity of the game has further soared, spurting out international leagues such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Big Bash League (BBL), over the last one decade. Over the course of more than 450 years since the inception of this sports in south-east England, statistics have played a pivotal role in shaping the structure and format of the game. Of late, there have been considerable advancements in cricket data analytics using IoT-based cricket bat sensors, advanced video analysis using Pitch-Vision, Hawk-Eye and allied technologies. From providing trajectories of the ball, to measuring the speed and impact point of the ball hitting the bat, such stellar breakthroughs have made it possible to fathom and analyze the game in a more refined way. Internet of Things (IoT) and Data Analytics can be the proponents in learning more about the stroke play of players as well as about the myriad facets of the game. In this paper, we have endeavored to discover a novel paradigm of research in cricket analytics known as the timing index, based on a real life IoT-based implementation and case study. The timing index is based on an amalgam of different factors such as bat speed, back lift angle, max. bat speed and impact bat speed. We believe that such a study can help in analyzing a player's training sessions using IoT and data analytics, thereby accurately and holistically analyzing a player's game and going beyond traditional statistical reporting, by ushering in intriguing and insightful information. © 2022 Elsevier B.V..

Data Analytics in the Game of Cricket: A Novel Paradigm

Predicting the binding mode of flexible polypeptides to proteins is an important task that falls outside the domain of applicability of most small molecule and protein−protein docking tools. Here, we test the small molecule flexible ligand docking program Glide on a set of 19 non-$α$-helical peptides and systematically improve pose prediction accuracy by enhancing Glide sampling for flexible polypeptides. In addition, scoring of the poses was improved by post-processing with physics-based implicit solvent MM- GBSA calculations. Using the best RMSD among the top 10 scoring poses as a metric, the success rate (RMSD ≤ 2.0 \AA for the interface backbone atoms) increased from 21% with default Glide SP settings to 58% with the enhanced peptide sampling and scoring protocol in the case of redocking to the native protein structure. This approaches the accuracy of the recently developed Rosetta FlexPepDock method (63% success for these 19 peptides) while being over 100 times faster. Cross-docking was performed for a subset of cases where an unbound receptor structure was available and in that case, 40% of peptides were docked successfully. We analyze the results and find that the optimized polypeptide protocol is most accurate for extended peptides of limited size and number of formal charges, defining a domain of applicability for this approach.

Effect of Organizational and Occupational Commitment on Satisfaction and Performance of Medical Representatives

The relationship between the values of local currencies in terms of foreign currencies and export competitiveness of any country is very complex. This relationship will become more complex if there is the heavy dependence on imported resources in the exported products. During last five years Indian rupee has weakened many times and reached to a level of 65.1806 for a dollar in March 2018. Since April 2013, the local currency lost around 18% to the US currency. Indian economy which as of now experienced vast financial and current account deficiency unfavorably influenced by exchange rate pressure. This paper endeavors to investigate the impacts of exchange rate movement in India and its effect on the Indian economy. The conditions which have been made for the economy because of the devaluation of rupee against dollar uncovers that there has been a solid and critical negative effect of this money unpredictability on numerous sectors.

Over the years there has been a large upheaval in the social networking arena. Twitter being one of the most widely-used social networks in the world has always been a key target for intruders. Privacy concerns, stealing of important information and leakage of key credentials to spammers has been on the rise. In this paper, we have developed an Intelligent Twitter Spam Detection System which gives the precise details about spam profiles by identifying and detecting twitter spam. The system is a Hybrid approach as opposed to single-tier, single-classifier approaches which takes into account some unique feature sets before analyzing the tweets and also checks the links with Google Safe Browsing API for added security. This in turn leads to better tweet classification and improved as well as intelligent twitter spam detection. © 2018, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Agritourism in india: understanding the consumer opportunity

In business it is an accepted fact that the purpose of business is to make profits. At functional level the decisions are about what is right and wrong. Marketing and advertising both reflect and shape cultural values and norms. Through this paper an attempt is made to understand if there is any ethical dimension in the advertising or marketing communication. Some select advertisements of TV and print are taken as sample for study from the different ethical perspectives. The authors have taken the liberty of adding their views on the same. The paper highlights that there is no ethical norm followed by marketer other than the profit motive. While the paper also acknowledges that the job of marketing promotion is to sell the product and strict guidelines or law would drive the creativity away from advertising and promotion. But allowing a free run would harm the consumers, competitors and society. The authors believe that an ethical framework and a very tight control and monitoring mechanism for unethical marketing promotion are the key to success in Indian situation.

Children in Indian society has always been a topic less spoken or discussed. The reasons of the same can be traced back to the socio-cultural background of the country. In the world children are taken as the greatest gift to humanity. Childhood is an important stage of human development as it holds the potential to the future of any society. Children who are brought up in an environment which is helpful to their intellectual, physical and social development will go on to be responsible and productive part of the society. Thus every society links its future to the present status of its children. Today child has been defined differently by different agencies as per their view and there is a very large gap and contradiction in these definitions. This paper attempts to summaries the different meaning to the word child and also give a brief overview of the magnitude of the issue from an Indian perspective. An attempt has been made to study the government policy documents and list down the actions as proposed and implemented by Indian government in the 11 th 5 year plan which has just ended in 2012. Some suggestions collected by the author, from academicians and also from the policy and plan documents about the way of eradicating the problems, are summerised in the paper. In the end the outline of the plan and strategies as identified are also given with author's suggestions. The paper identifies that a lot of policy plans have been worked but there is an urgent need for a social movement for this issue to really get addressed and resolved.

A study of Child labour in India – Magnitude and challenges

Lock in of mobile number series with Telecom Service Providers has always been an impediment to ushering in healthy competition between the mobile carriers. While India has seen a rapid growth in the penetration of Telephony services, the same exponential growth is seen lacking when it comes to quality of service offered or openness of transaction with the large players. Though the initial enrolment of subscribers to specific carriers has an atmosphere of enthusiasm and a promise of quality around it, subsequently there is marked degradation in quality of service. Customers are discouraged to switch service providers as that would involve changing numbers and possibility of lost calls for the end user. Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is a technology that enables subscribers to switch their service providers while retaining their mobile numbers. Deceptively trivial in terms of nomenclature, the underlying technology that realizes this is quite complex and neatly integrated into the telephony infrastructure. The other significant aspect is the fact that MNP has reached the Indian shores in mid 2010. The TSP's have been mandated to adopt MNP and it has created lot of action and opportunity. The country as of now has 800 million mobile subscribers, as quoted by TRAI. Going by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) guidelines, mobile users will be allowed to use the same mobile number even if providers use different mobile technologies like CDMA (code division multiple access) or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications). This paper is thus looking into the pros and cons of MNP for Telecom Service Providers.
