Art is viewed as a medium of their expression to perceive and facilitate the thought process. Emotionally healthy person can understand and cope with stress and adapt to change with the circumstances. The emotional balance enables an individual to identify the heart's desires, take affirmative actions, and make changes in life devoid of worries, stress, and lead life with vision, inspired action, and an inner state of creativity. Using purposive sampling method 60 incarcerated women were selected from prisons by obtaining permission from the concerned authorities. These women were the sole bread winners for their families, and their imprisonment orphaned their children and elderly parents who are dependent on them. The art form chose as an intervention for this study was Tanjore Painting and these paintings are known for their surface richness, vivid colours, compact composition and especially the glittering gold foils used to give the paintings their rich look. The art programme was conducted by arranging several sessions enabling them to learn and develop art form. After learning the art in depth interview techniques was used to obtain data, Thematic analysis of the responses on art therapy gave rise to four broad themes as Mindful practice; Clarified feelings; Catharsis and Explore relationships","PeriodicalId":394517,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133290237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How well or how prepared managers are able to invest in the concept of diversity will impact not only on work issues but also on sensitivity to customer’s needs, legal compliance, business’ ethical issues, profitability and even social cohesion.\u0000This paper attempts to analyse the effect of workforce diversity on employees’ performance from a sample of 75 employees in a pharmaceutical company in Chennai. The study indicates that the company has been able to adjust with various diverse cultures and has also made the work climate more convenient for their workers.","PeriodicalId":394517,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129074255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major problem for shortage of power is Power crisis and it is the talk of the world today. There have been lots many inventions and discoveries for different ways of generation of electricity using the resources. The major part of electricity is generated from Thermal plant, but the fact is a Thermal plant uses Coal as fuel which is a non-renewable resource for energy. Also a Thermal plant pollutes the environment by releasing smokes and fumes. But our personal view on the matter is that nature offers numerous options for regenerating energy. One such viable option underused by mankind is the power of lightning. This project proposes to harness the energy of a lightning in treating the power crisis and finally making power unavailability a thing of the past.","PeriodicalId":394517,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121034564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The circuit consisting of an LDR sensor is used to detect the maximum intensity of light and accordingly the movement of the petals will take place in that direction. During the night time, when no light is detected the petals get closed. The vibration sensor is placed on the leaves to detect the heavy hailstorms and prevent the system from damage by closing the petals which follow the helical path. This results in self cleansing action of petals during closing and opening of the petals. As a result the Smart Solar Tracker is 90% more efficient than the Traditional Solar panels installed.","PeriodicalId":394517,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125885116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the pressure is not maintained inside the room as per the design, there are chances of spread of the contamination. One of the major reasons behind pressure loss or compromised air tightness is the design of the false ceiling. If ceiling design in inappropriate and have avoidable features like fissures or perforations in the ceiling and exposed grid system, pressure loss will be there due to lack of air tightness in the ceiling, even if the material has antimicrobial coating, it is not of much use","PeriodicalId":394517,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123696018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
