About the Cover

Faraday was a British chemist and physicist who contributed significantly to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Michael Faraday is called the father of electro-technology and his experiments and inventions are the foundation of modern induction motors, generator, electromagnetic induction, and transformer, which are used at regular basis. He was born on 22 September 1791 in south London. His family was not well off and Faraday received only a basic formal education. When he was 14, he was apprenticed to a local bookbinder and during the next seven years, educated himself by reading books on a wide range of scientific subjects. In 1812, Faraday attended four lectures given by the chemist Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution. Faraday subsequently wrote to Davy asking for a job as his assistant. Davy turned him down but in 1813 appointed him to the job of chemical assistant at the Royal Institution. In 1831, Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the principle behind the electric transformer and generator. This discovery was crucial in allowing electricity to be transformed from a curiosity into a powerful new technology. Faraday was well known for his research activities in magnetism and electricity. Faraday was honored with a Doctorate in Civil Law by the University of Oxford in 1832.

DISCOVERY OF THE MONTH

Photography Leaps into the Late 19th Century: Sept. 4, 1888

Sivaranjini S

George Eastman (July 12, 1854 – March 14, 1932) was an American innovator and entrepreneur who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and invented roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream. Roll film was also the basis for the invention of motion picture film in 1888 by the world's first filmmakers Eadward Muybridge and Louis Le Prince, and a few years later by their followers Leon Bouly, Thomas Edison, the Lumière Brothers and Georges Melies

RESEARCH

A new method for classifying video packets in 802.11e based on deadline of packets

Mohammad Mahdi Motahhari Kia, Siavash Khorsandi

Video over WLANs has been founded many applications today. These applications have special requirements and thus require particular handling in dealing with video content. 802.11e standard is a standard over WLANs which have a significant place in Quality of Service providing for multimedia applications. This standard uses Enhanced Distributed Channel Access mechanism which exploits 4 priority queues. In ordinary EDCA whole video frames are mapped to second priority queue. However for encountering variable condition of wireless network and also avoiding from inappropriate packet eliminating in EDCA queues some changes is required in EDCA queuing method.

A study on gender related stress factors and coping strategies

Uma Mageswari S, Prabhu NRV

Life is full of challenges, targets, responsibilities, commitments and what not - irrespective of the positions you are in. A man has to meet out all these things within his capacity and gender is not a barrier in this. Ultimately to face this challenging modern globalised world one need to have lot of confidence, good attitude, and should be self sufficient. But one major factor to be successful – what is termed as Stress (though there are different perceptions about it).

Worker scheduling problem using vertex coloring

Srividhya S, Balaji D

The objective of this paper is to provide simple way for solving worker scheduling problem in big industries. In any industry the worker has to satisfy their higher authorities. In many industries, the problem facing is worker scheduling problem. To overcome these problems we can schedule the timetable for workers by applying the concept of vertex coloring of graph theory.

A Scientometric analysis of multi protocol label switching (MPLS) in Global: 1999 - 2012

Raja S, Amsaveni N, Ashok kumar P, Kalisdha A

The study analyses the multi protocol label switching publications in Global for a period of fourteen years (1999-2012) based on the Web of science database. The objective of the study was to perform a scientometric analysis of all multi protocol label switching research publications by Global scientists. The parameters studied include growth of publications and citations, relative growth rate and doubling time, national and international collaboration, highly productive institutions, highly productive authors, highly preferred journals and highly cited publications.
