ThesisItem Open Access Development of Online Software for Computation of Malmquist Index(IARI, Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi, 2013) Sarita Kumari; Alka AroraProductivity growth in agriculture is both necessary and sufficient condition for its development and has remained a serious concern for intense research over the last five decades. Malmquist Index is an important measure to quantify the productivity growth. Malmquist Index is used to measure the total factor productivity change between two data points by calculating the ratio of distances of each data point relative to a common technology (Caves et al., 1982). Modules for Malmquist Index computation are not available in any online software and commonly used econometric packages. After requirement analysis for Malmquist Index Computation software, it was observed that there is a need to develop easily accessible, user friendly and interactive software. Keeping these considerations in mind, in this thesis an attempt is made to design and develop Online Software for Computation of Malmquist Index (MalmSoft). MalmSoft has been designed and developed as per web based three-tier architecture. Software is developed in Microsoft .NET environment. The User interface layer is implemented using combination of HTML, JavaScript and CSS. ASP.NET 4.0 and C#.NET is used for writing business logic. Database Layer is implemented for user management in MS Access. Being web based, MalmSoft is freely accessible software for Malmquist Index. Software is completely menu driven and offers user-friendly screens to reduce efforts in understanding the software. The software provides functionality for computation of distance function and Malmquist Index for an agricultural firm from one time period to another time period. User can register, login, compute Malmquist index and see the results as well as can save result in excel file. Software results are validated using a suitable dataset whose results have been compared with standard software DEAP. This software is expected to be useful for agricultural researchers engaged in research in agricultural economics and allied sciences.ThesisItem Open Access Identification of Species Origin of Tissue by Species-Specific Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay Targeting mit.
