Abstract: Identification of solar potential of a region is important so as to reduce the return period of investment and to identify untapped regions like Himalayas, Tibet, Southern Andes etc. which were not considered to be good enough to tap the energy economically. This paper encompasses the use of fuzzy with weighted functions in identifying the same. The proposed method used various environmental constraints like solar irradiance, solar hour, latitude etc. for identifying the potential. For the sake of simplicity we have used only three of the above mentioned parameters but these parameters can be scaled up to any level, as desired by the experts, and also weights assigned to every parameter can be varied as per requirements and application area.

Abstract: As storage of data plays a key role in databases, security and maintenance issues becomes major concerns. Relational databases hold a significant portion of data stored in software, therefore today’s database purchase decisions revolve around how secure the product is. This paper provides a categorical head to head feature comparison between Oracle Database (Oracle) and IBM DB2 Universal Database (DB2), in terms of performance, scalability, manageability and consistency features provided in the Secure Way with emerging trends in technology. It explores the impact of IBM’s and Oracle’s transaction security models on users seeking to protect their critical information systems and contrasts IBM’s strategy of building security outside of the DB2 database against Oracle’s strategy of securing information in the database server[6].
