CREATIVITY, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Creativity is the ability to develop new ideas and to discover new ways of looking at problems and opportunities.

Innovation is the ability to apply creative solutions to problems and opportunities to enhance or to enrich people’s life.

Harvard’s Theodore Levitt says that “creativity is the thinking new things, and innovation is doing new things.” Entrepreneurs become successful by thinking and doing new things or old things in new ways.

A STUDY ON THE PATTERN OF USAGE OF MOBILE PHONES AMONG COMMERCE COLLEGE STUDENTS IN SURAT

The Indian mobile telecommunications market has been growing at a very fast pace. Over the years, young consumer’s demand has become even more mature and   sophisticated. By doing an empirical study, this thesis provides a snapshot of the Indian youth market for mobile phones. The research work focuses on the usage of mobile phones by students in three commerce colleges of  Surat. Primary data is used for the study. It was collected with the help of pre-structured questionnaire. Statistical techniques like Weighted Average Score and Likert scale was used to analyze the data.

A STUDY OF IMPACT OF NEW EVALUATION SYSTEM ON TEACHERS WORKLOAD AND TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS

Evaluation is goal directed, and educational outcomes are judged in terms of goal attainment. Every educational Programme should aim for the all round development of the personality of the child. Therefore, the learning Experiences provided in the school should contribute toward the achievement of the desired goals. A teacher, while deciding about the related learning experience should see both scholastic and co-scholastic outcomes as desirable behavioral outcomes of that Programme. The scope of evaluation in schools extends to almost all the areas of learners' personality development.

A STUDY OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF DECENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT AT THE MAHARAJA SAYAJIRAO UNIVERSITY OF BARODA, VADODARA

As per the UGC policy frame in 1978, teaching, research and extension are the three basic academic activities of the universities, which should be given equal status.  Management is required to perform these functions effectively. The effectiveness of education depends largely on how well it is managed. Management consists of getting things done through others; a manager is one who accomplishes objectives by directing the efforts of others. Managing the modern education system is very complex and that too from a single position and/or location.

EFFECTIVENESS OF WORD-CARD AS A SELF-LEARNING TECHNIQUE WITH REFERENCE TO TEACHING OF STATISTICS

The present study was designed to construct the work card material for ‘Permutation Combination’ unit related to the subject Statistics of standard 11th and it’s effectiveness on the achievement in context’s of student’s gender.

Assessment Of Soil And Water Quality With Reference To Benthic Communities Of Purna, Navsari, Gujarat

The present investigation aimed to assess the benthic communities with respect to physico-chemical characteristics of water & soil in the Intertidal and fresh water region of Purna, Navsari, Gujarat. The study carried out for the period of 5 months (May-2008 to Sept-2008).The physico-chemical parameters selected for the study were soil moisture, WHC, soil nutrients, organic matter Epiflora was dominated by Diatoms. In Faunal community Polychaete worm, Nematodes, Turbellarian, Molluscans, Mud crab and Mud skipper were found.

Study On Shrimp Farming Technique In Gujarat State

Shrimp farming has been practiced in India for centuries on a traditional manner in certain coastal state. Scientific shrimp farming was developed during the early 1980s. Thousands of hectares of coastal lands were converted into shrimp farming. Shrimp farming activities in Gujarat state are also not uncommon at present.  Gujarat is having 1,600 km long coastline and a vast stretches of brackish water area throughout the coastline which is ideal for shrimp culture.  Shrimp farming activities developed fast in the last decade.

STRUCTURAL, OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES

Structure of calcinated TiO2 has been examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. The formation of the single phase TiO2 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the structural parameters were refined by the Rietveld analysis. A good agreement between observed and calculated X-ray diffraction pattern was obtained from the Rietveld refinement using space group I 41/ amd. The calculated unit cell parameters are used to plot the structure.

A Software To Calculate Crystalline Size By Debye-Scherrer Formula Using VB.NET

X-Ray diffraction is a tool for the investigation of the fine structure of matter. Initially X-Ray diffraction was used only for the determination of crystal structure but now a days the data from X-ray diffraction have also been  used to determine the crystalline size using Debye-Scherrer formula.  Generally one has to deal with limited data because of laborious and time consuming manual methods of calculation. Sometime calculations with lots of data are required in order to determine different crystalline sizes for the statistical analysis or other applications.

EXTRACTION BIAS DEPENDENT PARAMETERS OF NON IDEAL SCHOTTKY DIODE

More than three decades Schottky diodes (rectifying contacts) are widely used in power industry. It is a majority carrier device where minority carrier storage is usually not important. As a result Schottky device have very high switching speeds with minor forward voltage drop making them ideal for output stages of switching power supplies.  Here in this paper the In/p-Si Schottky diode showed non ideal I-V behaviour with an ideality factor 2.12. It may be thought a metal-interface layer-semiconductor (MIS) configuration.
