The food processing industry is also significant in terms of its socio-economic bearing on the economy. It employs 13 million people directly and about 35 million people indirectly. The worth of the Indian processed foods sector stood at US$ 157 billion in 2012 and is expected to touch USD 255 billion by FY2016 with 13% growth rate per annum. This sector has all the basic attributes (like abundance of raw-material, basic skill sets etc.) to contribute highly in India's manufacturing output. To better understand the sector, analysis of two biggest players in food processing industry in India- Nestle India and Britannia was done. The financial analysis of the two players was done with the objective of understanding the reasons behind the competitive edge of the market leader in the sector as well as understanding the steps or initiatives that can be taken by the rival to challenge the market leader.

...AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON EFFICACY OF ALGORITHM FOR BOTH TRADING AND INVESTING AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON EFFICACY OF ALGORITHM FOR BOTH TRADING AND INVESTING ABSTRACT INDEX AIM OF STUDY PURPOSE * The main agenda of this study is to test the basic oscillators like RSI and OBV is to identify the behavior of these early indicators in various types of market. The agenda of using moving average lag indicators like Bollinger band is to check how well these bands work in giving out trade signals. * The study aims to find out using Bloomberg terminal that whether combination of studies and Risk management help to enhance the performance of the indicators and do they really help to make a more profitable decision. * This study also intends to use some basic fundamental indicators to identify whether they can be used as tool to invest in securities and how well they are able to perform as compared to a benchmark index. The aim is to use a matrix of indicators, so that it can be also assessed whether combination of basic indicators are good enough to make portfolio creation judgment that can lead to market beating portfolio or not. * All the testing has been done using the Bloomberg terminal. LIMITATIONS * There are many lead, hybrid and lag indicators available in the market however not every single one can be tested. * The testing only targets the NSE that is typically Indian market, hence the results may be non-inferential for international markets...

Shale gas is natural gas from shale formations which acts as both the source and the reservoir for the natural gas. Each Shale gas reservoir has unique characteristics. Shale has low matrix permeability, so gas production in commercial quantities requires fractures to provide permeability. For a given matrix permeability and pressure, gas production are determined by the number and complexity of fractures created, their effective conductivity, and the ability to effectively reduce the pressure throughout the fracture network to initiate gas production. Understanding the relationship between fracture complexity, fracture conductivity, matrix permeability, and gas recovery is a fundamental challenge of shale-gas development. Shale gas reservoirs almost always have two different storage volumes (dual porosity) for hydrocarbons, the rock matrix and the natural fractures .Because of the plastic nature of shale formations, these natural fractures are generally closed due to the pressure...

The radio control system and autopilot control system are then explained from both hardware and software viewpoints. Several typical commercial off-the-shelf autopilot packages are compared in detail. In addition, some research autopilot systems are introduced. Finally, conclusions are made with a summary of the current autopilot market and a remark on the future development.This paper presents a survey of the autopilot systems for small fixed-wing unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).

...Competition Bikes Inc. Summary Report 2014 Here is the Horizontal Analysis for years 6 and 7 for Competition Bikes Inc. Income Statement Sales Revenue: Net sales for Competition Bikes Inc. increase from $4,485,000 to $5,980,000, which was an increase of 33.3% for the year. This is a strength for the company since it shows that the demand for Competitions Bike’s product has increase over the year. This figure should also make stockholders very happy since the money the company makes helps determine the stock price. In this case it was a positive increase so it’s stock price should reflect a positive increase as well. Cost of Goods Sold: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) increased from $3,294,000 to $4,342,000, which was an increase of 31.8% for the year. The increase in COGS is not necessarily a bad thing (strength) for Competition bikes. The COGS should be in tandem with sales revenue since more products sold mean more goods to be produced. In this case the increase of COGS was slightly below the 33.3% increase in sales revenue which shows that some efficiency’s were made in the company. Gross Profits: Gross Profits showed an increase of $447,000 ($1,638,000 - $1,191,000) which is to be expected since net sales increased for the year. With an increase in efficiency (as mentioned in COGS) this figure should be increase as well. Having a increase in Gross Profit also states that Competitions Bike's product is selling very well and/or they have limited availability...
