The paper shows the contribution of evolutionary techniques in the field of optimization. Evolution is a technique which is based on real-world scenarios. It works on Darwin's theory and many algorithms have been proposed in this field to optimize the results. Each algorithm proposed has its advantages and disadvantages and a new technique is brought to overcome the drawbacks of the previously proposed technique. In this paper, a new approach is proposed based on SFLA and simulated annealing which works on memetic and PSO approaches along with basic temperature idea of simulated annealing. The graphs are attached to show the various results obtained. It is shown that it is better than other algorithms in various factors. © 2016 IEEE.

Industrialization across major economies of the world has led to various economic, social, and environmental opportunities as well as challenges. Thus, the need to monitor and control economic activities keeping sustainability of system as the long-term goal has evolved. During the last few decades, the policy makers have developed many guidelines or standards and measurement frameworks to promote the concepts of sustainability across various industrial domains. Among them, ISO 14000 certification is the most commonly adopted Environment Management System (EMS) by business enterprises around the world. However, as literature suggests, the process of ISO certification is entirely voluntary and non-governmental, this study has been designed to empirically test the influence of ISO certification on sustainability performance of leading states of the Indian leather industry. The findings reveal that, except economic sustainability, Uttar Pradesh (UP) has performed the best among the selected states, which could be attributed to its higher proportion of ISO certified leather firms. However, it was found, using firm-wise unit data analysis, that there is insignificant difference in performance between certified and not certified firms in all the selected states. The field study supports this anomaly with the reason that firms acquire the certification under the pressure of overseas customers to meet the requirement of environmental compliance on paper only. Thus, though the Govt. of India has taken correct step by subsidizing 75% expense of certification for MSMEs, it failed to monitor its effectiveness among the leather processing firms. © 2016, Council for Social and Economic Studies.

Effect of ISO 14000 certification on sustainability: Evidence from the indian leather industry

Due to improvement in imaging technology and therefore the ease with that digital content is reproduced and manipulated there's a robust want for a digital copiright mechanism to be placed in situ. There's a necessity for authentication of the content in addition, because the owner. It's become easier for malicious parties to form ascendible copies of proprietary content with any compensation to the content owner. Digital Watermarking is being seen as a possible resolution to the present drawback. To date many various watermarking schemes are projected. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of these techniques that are developed and their effectiveness. © 2016 IEEE.

The Indian National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC) envisages several measures to address global climate change. One of the important measures identified involves increasing the share of renewable energy in total electricity consumption in the country. This would mean NAPCC envisages renewable energy to constitute approximately 15% of the energy mix of India by 2020. To achieve the target set by the NAPCC, Indian Ministry of Power launched Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism in November 2010. However, participation in the REC markets is low and RECs have failed to attract significant investment so far. In this study a preliminary attempt has been made to assess the performance of existing REC mechanism in India. After highlighting the salient features of the Indian renewable energy policy framework a brief description of renewable purchase obligation (RPO) and source specific RPOs for different states is discussed along with an overview of REC market in India to date. The performance of Indian REC mechanism is evaluated by cost competiveness, decentralized distributed generation and renewable energy portfolio diversity and their effectiveness has also been measured on the basis of the available data. Although, it is difficult to make any conclusive remark on the success or failure of REC mechanism due to its short experience, this study examines the process to date to come out with some recommendations which can be used to fine tune the functioning of existing REC market in India. For instance, REC price bounds should be revised because it has been not explicitly supporting cost competiveness by offering 60.33% higher average price than the existing average feed-in tariff (FiT). It is also observed that state-wise contribution in registered capacity is skewed towards few states like Tamil Nadu (27%), Maharashtra (23%), and Uttar Pradesh (22%), which puts pressure on policy makers to restructure the existing REC mechanism. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
