Quality of rice is not always easy to define as it depends on the consumer and the intended and use for the grain. The best performing hybrids based on mean performance for grain yield, along with its parents were analyzed for physical and cooking quality characters. The hybrids viz., TNAU 27S × Improved white ponni, TNAU 27S × KDML 105, TS09 24×CO(R) 49, TS09 24 × BPT 5204, TS09 26 × ADT 38 had the highest values of hulling, milling and head rice recovery percentage. In the present study, the hybrids viz., TNAU 27S × KDML 105, TNAU 27S × BPT 5204 categorized under the long slender type and medium slender, respectively. Among the hybrids, TNAU 27S × KDML105 exhibited good milling out turn, head rice recovery, long slender, volume expansion, low gelatinization temperature, soft gel consistency with intermediate amylose content.Keywords

Background/Objectives: In this research, the author has made an attempt, to find out the factors that influence smartphone user satisfaction, trust and loyalty towards Business to customer (B2C) mobile applications. Method/Statistical Analysis: An empirical research was conducted to gather the primary data using a questionnaire as an instrument in order to test the hypotheses. An assessment based on five point linker scale questionnaire to the Smartphone users in Chennai city, India. The questionnaire was distributed to (250) respondents who were randomly chosen from the population. A multiple linear regression analysis is used to find out the significant influence between independent and dependent factors. A correlation test is used to find out the relationship between smartphone user satisfaction, user trust and user loyalty towards mobile applications. Findings: The result from this study highlights that user interface quality, Information quality, perceived privacy act as an antecedents that driven to smartphone user satisfaction, trust and user loyalty towards B2C mobile applications. The factor Information quality hasn't having a significant influence towards smartphone user satisfaction and user trust. And there is positive relationship between the smartphone user satisfaction, user trust towards user loyalty. Applications/Improvements: Mobile applications are becoming increasingly popular. Managing smartphone user satisfaction, trust and loyalty towards mobile applications services are very essential for the enduring development of a business. The result from this study will be a significant orientation for the Organizations in formulating and managing the users for their business strategies.Keywords

Water is an integral part of not only human beings but all other creatures in the world. We use it every day for different purposes such as domestic, agricultural and industrial. Water has always been a prestigious resource. Nowadays many water resources are polluted by anthropogenic sources including household and agricultural waste and industrial processes. Public concern over the environmental impact of wastewater pollution has increased. Several conventional wastewater treatment techniques, i.e. chemical coagulation, adsorption, activated sludge, have been applied to remove the pollution, however there are still some limitations, especially that of high operation costs. The use of waste water treatment as a reductive medium is receiving increased interest due to its low operation and maintenance costs. The main objective of this project is to treat the used water and reuse it for domestic purpose and to reduce the water scarcity and eliminate the pollutants and toxicant from the waste water.
