With the increase in the number of mobile commerce transaction, it is beneficial to have architecture to provide better mobile commerce experience and facilities to users. The locations and mobile commerce data generated by users can be analyzed using data mining techniques to arrive at similarity of items and stores. Similarity data clubbed with the patterns in historical transactions of user can be used for prediction of mobile transaction of the user. Here we propose a novel architecture called as Mobile Commerce Explorer. The MCE framework consists of three major components: 1) Similarity Inference Model (SIM) for measuring the similarities among stores and items, which are two basic mobile commerce entities considered in this paper; 2) Personal Mobile Commerce Pattern Mine (PMCP-Mine) algorithm for efficient discovery of mobile users' Personal Mobile Commerce Patterns (PMCPs); and 3) Mobile Commerce Behavior Predictor (MCBP) for prediction of possible mobile user behaviors.Keywords

This paper shares the best practices adapted in the department of Information Technology to enhance the employability of students. Student's placement is considered to be the most important factor for any program in the engineering education. The vision, mission, goals and curriculum of the Information Technology program are designed in-line to prepare the students to be industry ready. Also, the curriculum delivery and evaluation of students are designed and executed with a goal to prepare students to be industry ready. Though all the collaborative efforts of the work force of the IT department and its associates are taken to execute their tasks that should lead to placement of all eligible students, the placement statistics of the department is not satisfactory. The collaboration amongst the work force and its associates must be redefined to improve the placements of the students. To address the student's placements to its best, a team of volunteers from the faculty is formed under best practices activity of Quality Circle at RIT and proposed a solution by defining innovative practices that lead to the betterment of student's placement and titled as "Faculty's Portfolio Collaboration: To enhance Student's placement through faculty's coordination". The practices defined were practiced for one academic year and the results are analyzed. The analysis of the results showed that there is an improvement in the performance of students in most aspects and requires additional efforts for betterment of few other aspects. Necessary measures were also identified and suggested to faculties for the improvement in the portfolios that under performed. The practices defined will be continued in the department to achieve consistency in the results and analyze the same.Keywords

In recent year’s cellulosic porous materials are widely used in drug delivery. It consists of numerous micro-fibrils containing crystalline and amorphous regions, which represents high tensile strength and provide flexibility. Striking advantages like the cost effective, low density, highly porous, high drug loading, safety, good potential for chemical modification and biocompatibility, made it an interesting polymer for applications in the field of biotechnology and nanomedicine in future. This review summarise the sources, isolation, properties, chemistry, characteristics, methods for size reduction and applications of cellulosic porous materials for pharmaceutical applications. Cellulose fibers have huge potential as a carrier for drug delivery in terms of patentability, scalability, and industrial application because of several characteristics properties and currently most of the researchers only focus on application in the field of material science and electronics. Outcomes of this review help to understand the concept of porous material used in drug delivery, explore natural cellulose fibers as a promising carrier and also needful for the researcher working in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
