Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A set S V(G) is a restrained 2- dominating set if every vertex of
V(G) \ S is adjacent to at least two vertices in S and every vertex of V(G) \ S is adjacent to a vertex
inV(G) \ S . The restrained 2- domination number of G, denoted by r 2  (G), is the smallest cardinality of a
restrained 2- dominating set of G. In this paper we study restrained 2- domination in graphs and obtain some
results.

As the leading vendor of enterprise business standard software, SAP has recognized the need to adapt their R/3 system to current trends in software development and to meet market needs for Speed of development, flexibility, openness and interoperability. In this paper, we first present SAP's approach to object-oriented and component-based technology by describing the Business Framework, the concepts of Business Objects, BAPIs, and the Business Object Repository. On this basis, we then analyze current communication architectures and products enabling the interaction of external Java-based software applications with SAP R/3, point out the advantages and disadvantages of different solutions and finally elaborate on potential strategies and steps for driving the evolution of SAP R/3 in order to further increase interoperability, openness and flexibility.

Modern industrial processes are based on a large amount of electronic devices such as programmable logic controllers and adjustable speed drives. Unfortunately, electronic devices are sensitive to disturbances, and thus, industrial loads become less tolerant to power quality problems such as voltage sags, voltage swells, and harmonics. Voltage sags are an important power quality problem for which the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is known as an effective device to mitigate them. The dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) has become popular as a cost effective solution for the protection of sensitive loads from voltage sags and swells. A control method is used in this paper that is Phase Locked Loop.A phase locked loop is used to keep the load voltage synchronized continuously and track the source voltage. It is shown that the proposed method improves the performance of the DVR. This paper deals with modeling and simulation of a Dynamic Voltage Restore (DVR) for mitigation of voltage sags. Effectiveness of proposed technique is investigated through computer simulation by using
MATLAB/SIMULNK software.

Portable MP3/MP4 players, e.g. iPod, are mostly used for entertainment purposes and they are very popular among the youth. In this paper, we explore the possibility of using such devices as an aiding tool in the educational environment, and hypothesise that these devices would help improve learning, e.g. fluency in English. We report on a number of preliminary studies which suggest that the use of such devices helped students in English learning.

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) has been found to be an extremely potential electro-thermal process in the field of conductive material machining. This process employed for the parts demanding higher accuracy levels with varying hardness or complex shapes, which have sharp edges that are very difficult to be machined by main stream processes. WEDM is a complex machining process controlled by a large number of process parameters such as the pulse duration, discharge frequency and discharge current density. Any slight variations in the process parameters can affect the machining performance measures such as surface roughness and cutting ratio. Taguchi method is widely used for optimization of various processes. Using Taguchi method, the parametric settings can be optimized with respect to one performance characteristic (response) at a time, whereas wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) processes require optimization of multiple performance characteristics. Researchers have attempted several approaches but determination of the optimal process settings that can optimize multiple performance measures (responses) of WEDM operations still remains an important issue. In this paper, weighted principal component (WPC) method is used to optimize the multiple responses of WEDM processes. The results show that the WPC method offers significantly better overall quality than the other approaches.

Construction and mining segment in India has picked up pace in recent years. Due to this, equipments such as tippers, excavators and loaders are in great demand. Function of tipper trucks is to combine the two tasks of dumping and haulage. Truck Body Floor which is used for this purpose has been designed in a conventional way since its inception. Normal conventional method of floor construction is a sandwich floor with layers of steel floor on top and bottom and a layer of wood in between. Scope of this paper is to optimize the design of conventional truck body floor design considering heavy & impact loading in mines which damages the floor. Thus this demands the need of heavy duty impact resistance floor which replaces the normal conventional sandwich construction. Hence new concept of single layer heavy duty floor has been embarked upon with high strength material which will be able to resist severe impact loads and also results in weight reduction with various other advantages.
