This paper introduces two critical success factors in supply chain management in the banking sector in Ghana after confirming six factors in a previous study. A quantitative research approach was used. The population of the study was employees in selected commercial banks in Ghana. The simple random sampling procedure was used to select 144 respondents. The Exploratory Factor Analysis retains six (6) success factors of supply chain management. The study shows that planning, competency,...

The recent migration data from 64th round NSSO (2007-08) and census 2011 shows rapid increase in internal migration in India. The migration rate (proportion of migrants in the population) in the urban areas (35 percent) was far higher than the migration rate in the rural areas (26 percent). Among the migrants in the rural areas, nearly 91 percent have migrated from the rural areas and 8 percent from the urban areas: where as among the migrants in the urban areas, 59 percent migrated from the...

Poverty is a curse to the society and reducing poverty is a global challenge. It is directly related to other serious issues like- diseases, environmental degradation, internal conflicts, terrorism etc. If we don’t succeed in reducing poverty substantially, solving these problems becomes harder. India also claims special attention in this issue for its huge population under ‘Below Poverty Line’, especially in rural area among different classes, caste, gender etc. Along with poverty,...

A simulated transonic rotor channel model was examined experimentally to verify the flow physics of internal area ruling. Pressure measurements were performed in the high speed wind tunnel at transonic speeds with Mach 1.5 and Mach 2 nozzle blocks to get an indication of the approximate shock losses. The results showed a reduction in losses due to internal area ruling with the Mach 1.5 nozzle blocks. The reduction in total loss coefficient was of the order of 17 percent for a high blockage...

A GOOD SEPARATION OF MONO-, DI-, TRI-, AND TETRACYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS WAS ACHIEVED BY THE METHOD OF ADSORPTION CHROMATOGRAPHY ON NEUTRAL ALUMINA. THE ADVANTAGE OF THE METHOD IS CONSIDERED TO BE THAT SATURATED HYDROCARBONS AND RESINS ARE SEPARATED IN A SINGLE OPERATION. THE UV-MONITORING OF THE ELUTED FRACTIONS SHOWED THAT THERE WAS PRACTICALLY NO MUTUAL CONTAMINATION OF THE HYDROCARBON FRACTIONS.

The development of a theoretical model is investigated of the incompressible jet injection process. The discharge of a turbulent jet into a cross flow was mathematically modeled by using an integral method which accounts for natural fluid mechanisms such as turbulence, entrainment, buoyancy, and heat transfer. The analytical results are supported by experimental data and demonstrate the usefulness of the theory for estimating the trajectory and flow properties of the jet for a variety of...

The growth of a fatigue crack through a material is the result of a complex interaction between the applied loading, component geometry, three-dimensional constraint, load history, environment, material microstructure and several other factors. Previous studies have developed experimental and computational methods to relate the fatigue crack growth rate to many of the above conditions, with the intent of discovering some fundamental material response, i.e. crack growth rate as a function of...

A mathematical procedure for analyzing the heat conductivity of the lunar surface is discussed. The solution is based on homogeneous and laminated moon models and considers the effects of radioactive elements conveyed to the lunar surface by melting. The various parameters which introduce uncertainties into the numerical analysis are identified. The application of data obtained from radio astronomy and from analyses of lunar samples returned by the Apollo flights is explained. Tables of data...

A forward swept fan, designated the Quite High Speed Fan (QHSF), was tested in the NASA Glenn 9- by 15-foot Low Speed Wind Tunnel to investigate its noise reduction relative to a baseline fan of the same aerodynamic performance. The design objective of the QHSF was a 6 dB reduction in Effective Perceived Noise Level relative to the baseline fan at the takeoff condition. The design noise reduction was to be a result of lower levels of multiple pure tone noise due to the forward swept rotor, and...

An overview of the NASA F-8 Fly-by Wire project is presented. The project made two significant contributions to the new technology: (1) a solid design base of techniques that work and those that do not, and (2) credible evidence of good flying qualities and the ability of such a system to tolerate real faults and to continue operation without degradation. In 1972 the F-8C aircraft used in the program became he first digital fly-by-wire aircraft to operate without a mechanical backup system.
