Crystal Structure of 3-(1,3-Dithiolan-2-ylidene)pentane-2,4-dione

Abstract: This compound with molecular formula C8H10O2S2 crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pca21 (Z = 4) with unit-cell parameters a = 7.3576(9)A, b = 14.2238(11)A, c = 8.714(2)A. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.0309. This compound approximates the rare ZZ conformation in which both the ketenedithioacetal group and the oxygen atoms are on the same plane with the sulfur atoms close to the respective oxygen atoms.

Effects of Magnetic Field and Non-uniform Basic Temperature Gradient on the Onset of Rayleigh-Benard Convection in a Micropolar Fluid

Abstract: The effects of magnetic field and non-uniform basic temperature gradient on the onset of Rayleigh-Benard convection in an electrically conducting micro polar fluid are studied using the Garlerkin technique. The eigenvalue is obtained for free-free, rigid-free and rigid-rigid velocity boundary combinations with isothermal and adiabatic temperature conditions on the spin-vanishing boundaries. The eigenvalues are also obtained for lower rigid isothermal and upper free adiabatic boundaries with vanishing spin. A linear stability analysis is performed. The influence of various parameters on the onset of convection has been analysed. Six different non-uniform temperature profiles are considered and their comparative influence on onset is discussed. It is observed that the electrically conducting fluid layer with suspended particles heated from below is more stable compared to the classically electrically conducting fluid without suspended particles. The critical wave number is found to be insensitive to the changes in the parameters but sensitive to the changes in the Chandrasekhar number.

Intrapreneurship Approach for Tourism Management

Abstract: 'Corporate Entrepreneurship, also known as Intrapreneurship is the process of profitably creating innovation within an organizational setting. Most companies are realizing the need for corporate entrepreneuring. This need has arisen as response to (1) the rapidly growing number of new sophisticated competitors, (2) a sense of distrust in th e traditional methods of corporate management, and (3) an exodus of some of the best and brightest people form corporations to become small business entrepreneurs. Thus corporate entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship has been practiced in all industries, including the Tourism industry.In this article effort have been made to demonstrate the techniques of implementing intrapreneurship with examples from the tourism industry. Tourism, being the major factor of global economic development, needs to be nourished with constant innovations and new venture creations. Intrapreneurship has proved to provide these innovations and new ventures. A case of Southwest Airlines of USA, is presented to portray how the intrapreneurship principles are applied effectively

Human Rights and Media

Abstract: The paper focuses on three issues: Role of media in protecting and promoting human rights, media as the cause for violation of human rights, and lastly, media as the mediator in rethinking human rights. The paper will also problematise the existing discourse of human rights and media. The word "media" in this paper refers largely to mainstream media.
