The technology based self service banking (TBSSB) refers to automated banking services that customer avail in self service mode using various electronic banking channels, without any interaction with bank employees. Researchers have used numerous methods to evaluate automated banking service quality. In this paper, a methodology to quantify the overall effect of key TBSSB service quality attributes is discussed. The TBSSB service quality index is calculated by using fuzzy along with graph theory and matrix methods. Broad attributes affecting TBSSB service quality are identified. The fuzzy numbers are used to convert intangible attributes to crisp scores and then graph theoretic approach has been applied to calculate the single numerical index. This study may help bank management to take various decisions pertaining to TBSSB service quality using TBSSB index. It will also assist academicians in better understanding of TBSSB services.

In this study the radiological hazard Resulting from the using of ceramic tile locally produced and commonly used as building materials in Egypt have been done by determining the contents of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) by using gamma spectrometry (HPGe) detector. The measured average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Thand 40K were 47.4±3.3, 42.84±2.8 and 313.6±34.3 Bqkg-1 respectively. The obtained concentrations were compared with the reported data of other countries. The Raeq values of all samples were lower than the limit of 370Bq.kg-1, equivalent to a gamma dose of 1.5 mSv.a-1 recommended by OECD. With average total annual dose being only 0.07mSv y-1, this value is about 7 % of the 1.0 mSv y-1 recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP-60, 1990) as the maximum annual dose to members of the public.

This paper presents the effect of position of stiffeners on the free vibration analysis of stiffened isotropic plate using Finite Element Method. In this paper, comparative study of stiffened isotropic plate has been carried out. The effect of stiffeners location, different boundary conditions, stiffener thickness to plate thickness and aspect ratios on the vibration analysis of plate has been studied. The vibration analysis of stiffened plate has been studied using Block-Lanczos algorithm. The element selected from the ANSYS software is SOLID186, 20 node solid elements. The results have been compared with the available published results.

Image Retrieval is the basic requirement of today’s life in present scenario. Because of huge amount of different types of images are added in database from different sources for retrieval of the image, different kinds of processing is required to extract the relevant features from them. In this paper, comparisons of combination texture and shape features are done with texture Gray Level Co- occurrence Matrix and Hu-moments and the combination of tamura texture and shape invariant Hu- moments. For the performance evaluation of the system we use most commonly used methods namely precision and recall.

A Boolean Combinational circuit can be made of some wires and logic gates whose outputs at any time are determined directly from the present combination of inputs without any regard to previous input. Reduction of number of gates (area) and the length of the signal path (delay) to optimize a Boolean circuit is always an overriding concern in the design of digital integrated circuit. The accepted phenomena that combinational circuit is based only on acyclic (loop-free or feed-forward) topology no longer exist. Introducing cycles in combinational circuit we may have same acyclic operation with reduced area and delay of the circuit. Cyclic circuits that do not hold state or oscillate are often the most convenient representation for certain functions, such as arbiters. The main aim of cyclic circuit is to introduce structural feedback & to avoid the logical feedback in order to get combinational primary output. In this survey, we advocate the technological depth of cyclic circuit and their design methodologies with certain merits and demerits. It includes functional analysis i.e. to determine what values will appear and the timing analysis which determine when these values will appear.

Design of a robust controller for multi input-multi output (MIMO) nonlinear uncertain dynamical system can be a challenging work. This research paper focuses on the design and analysis of a high performance PID like fuzzy controller for flexible robot manipulator, in presence of uncertainties. In this research, fuzzy logic controller is a stable nonlinear controller, which selected to control of our nonlinear system. The proposed approach effectively combines of design methods from linear Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy logic theory to improve the performance, stability and robustness of the flexible robot manipulator. To solve system’s dynamic nonlinearity, the PID fuzzy logic controller is used as a PID like fuzzy logic controller. The PID like fuzzy logic controller is updated based on gain updating factor. In this methodology, fuzzy logic controller is used to estimate the dynamic uncertainties. In this methodology, PID like fuzzy logic controller is evaluated. PID like fuzzy logic controller has three inputs, Proportional (P), Derivative (D), and Integrator (I), if each inputs have 𝑁 linguistic variables to defined the dynamic behavior, it has 𝑁×𝑁×𝑁 linguistic variables. To solve this challenge, parallel structure of a PD-like fuzzy controller and PI-like fuzzy controller is evaluated. In the next step, the challenge of design PI and PD fuzzy rule tables are supposed to be solved. To solve this challenge PID like fuzzy controller is replaced by PD-like fuzzy controller with the integral term in output. This method is caused to design only PD type rule table for PD like fuzzy controller and PI like fuzzy controller.
