This review paper deals with a process of improving the quality of underwater image. The quality of underwater image is poor due to the properties of water and its impurities. The properties of water cause attenuation of light travels through the water medium, resulting in low contrast, blur, inhomogeneous lighting, and color diminishing of the underwater images. This paper proposes a method of enhancing the quality of underwater image. Ordinary histogram equalization uses the same transformation derived from the image histogram to transform all pixels. This works well when the distribution of pixel values is similar throughout the image. However, when the image contains regions that are significantly lighter or darker than most of the image, the contrast in those regions will not be sufficiently enhanced. The objective is to enhance the underwater images contrast while preserving image brightness. The proposed methods have been tested using several underwater images and gives better visual quality and PSNR value.

Individual investment activity is the extending the money saved to any corporate, Government or to any institution for the purpose of earning revenue.

The main objective of this paper is to identify general practices that organizations use to recruit and select employees .The study also focus its attention to determine how the recruitment and selection practices affect the organizational outcomes and provide some suggestions.

The data was collected through well structured questionnaire. The source of data was both primary and secondary and the Sample size was 38. Data analysis has been done with statistical tools like ANOVA etc.My research basically depends upon primary and secondary data collected from company employees, Internet and online journals, research papers. Companies change their HR practices according to the culture and PEST environment of the countries in which they operate. Basic aim of all the companies is to earn PROFIT but now the concept is little bit changed as HRM has taken an important place in working of all the companies may it be national or multinational. Human resources are now considered as an ASSET instead of LIABILITY. As now companies are focusing on retaining talents instead of searching for low cost employees with lesser qualifications. Good Human resource management is now considered as one factor which adds competitive Advantage to the company.

Department of HUMAN RESOURCE in all the companies is now in lime light instead of back seat and it is learnt that “HR cannot function in cabins” Good human resource strategies and practices are the backbone of all the companies may be operating nationally or multinationally and good human resource management is the life blood of those companies.

Information Technology has found its way all over in every field. It is not untouched by Human Resource Management. Organization’s success mostly depends on the effective utilization of its valuable human resources. Now-a-days, human resources are treated as strategic assets, these assets are needed to achieve competitive advantage and outperform the rivals. Organizations are now increasingly adopting HRIS than ever before (which is comparatively a new technology in HRM) for ensuring the effective utilization of their human resources. But still, many challenges and issues keep the organizations deprived from enjoying the benefits of this technology. Here, in this research work, the authors tried to explore those hurdles based on the responses of human resource (HR) executives, employees, who are the frequent user of HRIS in the organization from some companies operating in India. The research work came across many challenges that impede the effective implementation of HRIS. Finally, some measurable actions that can be implemented to improve the effective execution of this technology are suggested.

The  signature verification is used as a popular, cost effective authentication method and preferred among various biometrics as it is the widely accepted way to identify an individual .it is used in many areas of society related to automated banking transaction, electronic fund transfer, and document analysis and access control throughout the world. There are two categories in signature verification based on the acquisition of the signature viz. online and offline verification systems. Online systems use dynamic information of a signature captured at the time the signature is made. The off-line signature verification uses a static image of the signature collected from individuals on white paper. The off-line signature verification problem is more challenging than the on-line signature verification, because the features are extracted from the static 2D image of the signature.

In this work, an offline signature verification method was proposed which is based on two sets of features extracted from the static signature image. First set of features consists of local binary pattern, the operator labels the pixels of an image by thresholding 3x3 neighborhood of each pixel with centre value and considering the results as a binary number of which the corresponding decimal number is used for labeling. The derived binary numbers are called local binary patterns or the LBP codes. While the LBP operator uses information of intensity changes around the pixels. The second set of features is local directional patterns operator use the edge response values of the neighbor pixels and encode the image texture. The LDP assign an 8 bit binary code to each pixel of an input image. Before the features are extracted, the signature is subjected to preprocessing which include extraction of exact size of the signature by resizing. Finally Euclidean distance is used as the classifier to decide whether the signature under test is genuine or forged. Parameters like FAR, FRR, EER and TSR were calculated.

This paper examined the relationship between governments’ frequent refusal to honour collective agreements reached on wages and incessant wage – related industrial unrest in the public service in Nigeria. The use of the collective bargaining machinery as an instrument of wage determination and settlement of other employment conditions is highly restricted in the public service in Nigeria because government prefers the use of wage commissions. However, whenever government decides to bargain with its employees represented by their unions and agreements reached, it usually finds it difficult to honour these agreements. In the public service in Nigeria, there are numerous cases of governments’ failure to honour agreements it willfully entered into with workers. This sort of attitude on the part of successive governments in Nigeria makes one to think that even when government decides to negotiate with workers it has at the back its mind that the agreements reached during such negotiations would not be honoured. In some instances, government had even gone down to the level of denying that it entered into any form of agreement with workers. Governments’ penchant for dishonouring collective agreements reached with workers bordering on wages and settlement of other working conditions has undoubtedly accounted for most of the strike incidents in the public service in Nigeria. This paper therefore contends that it is important that governments in Nigeria realize that collective bargaining remains the best method of determining wages of workers and other employment conditions in the public service. Most importantly, honouring agreements that result from these negotiations could go a long way in reducing the frequency of wage – related industrial unrest thereby ensuring reasonable level of industrial peace in the public service in Nigeria

Fingerprint recognition is defined as the authentication of user after confirming the results of matching of its fingerprint prints. It is most successful technique for human being identification which provides highly accurate results. This paper presents an analysis on fingerprint recognition which uses false minutia removal techniques to evaluate Minutiae extracted from a fingerprint. The false minutia removal technique is quite frequently used in various fingerprint recognition systems and techniques.  This approach mainly involves extraction of unique identification points called minutiae points from the captured fingerprint images and then performing 7 cases for fake minutiae detection. The spurious minutia are removed by identifying the false percept minutia at the extraction stage

The analysis of blood cells in microscope images can provide useful information concerning the health of patients; however, manual classification of blood cells is time-consuming and susceptible to error due to the different morphological features of the cells. Therefore, a fast and automated method for identifying the different blood cells is required. In this paper, we propose different methods to segment Red Blood Cell (RBC), White Blood Cell (WBC) and Platelets. Image segmentation is the most important step and a key technology in image processing which directly affect the next processing. In human blood cell segmentation cases, many methods were applied for obtaining better results. It is basically an improved visualization to observe blood cell under blood smear process. In this paper, we review some of the general segmentation methods that have found application in classification in biomedical-image processing especially in blood cell image processing. Basically, segmentation of the image divides the whole image into some unique disjoint regions. The fact that the segmented image should retain maximum useful information and discard unwanted information makes the whole process critical.

Free competition and new network technology have increased competition and widened the range of network service available throughout the world. Unfortunately for cellular network service providers, loyalty is a rare trait among customers when it comes to choosing a particular mobile cellular system provider. Despite the huge financial commitment by companies into their respective communication technologies, users ultimately make decisions based on their perceived quality of service (QoS). It is the researcher’s intention to identify the factors affecting the Quality of Service of cellular mobile network providers in Nigeria and put their effect in quantifiable terms. This study span for four years  [2010-2014] and four leading telecommunication firms were selected to represent the entire telecommunication industry. These firms include MTN-Nigeria, Globacom, Etisalat and Airtel. The primary source of data used in this research work was questionnaire while the secondary source of data include data from; Nigeria communication commission(NCC), the above mentioned four communication firms as well as data from the researchers in related topical issues. The main quantitative approach used was regression analysis and for the easy of handling the volume of data, the use of statistical package for social sciences [SPSS] software was used. It was discovered that six factors affect the quality of service of cellular mobile network: Network coverage/ Availability of service(X₅₎, Call quality(X₃₎,  Price of service (X₄₎ , Customer care(X₂₎, Diversity of bundle option of service (X₁₎ and Promotion/Offering of Incentive(X₆₎. A predictive model was derived as : Y = 3.731+0.565X₅ + 0.440X₃ + 0.221X₂+ 0.189X₄ + 0.165X₁ + 0.097X₆

Asset quality management has recently received much attention in the banking industry. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of loan quality on bank profitability in Kuwait using data obtained from the annual reports and accounts of the two largest banks listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange based on market capitalization with a sample interval for the period from 2002 to 2013, using the return on assets and return on equity ratio as proxies for bank profitability.

A panel regression model is employed to examine if bank asset quality and profitability are positively correlated .The results showed that a bad asset ratio is negatively associated with banking profitability, The results further support the hypothesis that higher quality of loan processing activities before loan approval is required to process problematic loans, and thus higher banking profitability will be.
