The paper has studied the structure and extent of value addition in different agro-processing units in Himachal Pradesh. It has also examined the financial viability of agro-processing industries in the state. The break-even analysis has shown enough leverage for processing units to stay in the business even at low capacity utilization. The extent of value addition has been about 53 per cent in...

The localization of graphical primitives is important task in image processing. This paper discusses problems of automatic computer-based detection and localization of elementary shape in image. A genetic algorithm is used for this task. The using of genetic algorithm allows efficiently reduce time needed to scan a task state space. A modification of genetic algorithm for shape detection is pre...

background: in process industries, production, storage, transportation, usage and disposal of chemicals are inherently dangerous and the risk of catastrophic accident occurrence is potentially high. to improve safety level in these industries, establishment of process safety management (psm) system is considered as the most effective measures. this study was conducted to determine the degree of...
