Multivariate Statistical Analysis Statistical methodology designed to obtain information from data sets that include simultaneous measurements on many variables is called multivariate statistical analysis (1). Multivariate statistics helps to study how the variables are related to one another, and also how they work in combination to differentiate between the cases on which the observations are made. Several research disciplines such as biology, medicine, environmental Science, Psychology, Sociology
conducted. It constitutes the blue print of collection, measurement and analysis of data .Research Design is needed because it facilitates the smooth sailing of various research operations, thereby making research as efficient as possible yielding maximum information with minimum time, effort and money. Research Design stands for advance planning of methods to be used for collecting relevant data and techniques to be used in the analysis .The design helps researcher to organize his ideas whereby it will
often have the option to route their services through one of multiple seaports (Slack, 1993). As Slack (1993) puts it, “no longer can ports expect to attract shipping lines because they are natural gateways to rich hinterlands” (p. 581), and so is it with containerized freight shipping business. Patterns and processes of competition between seaports have changed and can be expected to remain quite dynamic in the face of fast-paced changing business environments (Meersman et al., 2010). The purpose of
measurement requires survey participants to express their opinion in a visual form, i.e. to place a mark at an appropriate position on a continuous line. That not only solves the problems of information loss, but also allows for applying advanced robust statistical analyses.

dominance of aggradation processes are responsible for anabranching of Baghmati river. Luchi et al. (2007) investigated small alpine river to monitor morphodynamics of channel. Their study reveals that the longitudinal variations in grain size and slope largely determine the braiding intensity of channel thus it signifluences in channel morphodynamics. Schimitt et al. (2007) analysed morphodynamics typology of upper Rhine river basin based on multivariate statistical analysis. Hooke and Yorke, (2010)
Floods are natural hazards that have shaped the landscape of our environment over thousands of years. Recently, the effect of floods has been intensified by the sustained population growth, changes in land use, and climate change with more intense rainfall patterns. The impact of these effects depends on the extent of the flood and temporal nature of their occurrence, as well as on the vulnerability and associated risk of the exposed communities and elements (infrastructure
production in pools, backwaters and secondary channels is likely to drive metabolic processes below bankfull flooding (Tockner et al 2000). These unconfined floodplain segments are disproportionally important providing favorable fish rearing conditions (Sommer et al 2001, Bellmore et al 2013). The hydrological cross-boundary flux between SW and GW mediates transport of nutrients from the biogeochemical processes within the sediments, allows movement of organisms, and creates hot-spots of primary
1. The Traditional Approach: A traditional phased approach identifies a sequence of steps to be completed. 2. Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM): It is a method of planning and managing projects that puts more emphasis on the resources (physical and human) needed in order to execute project tasks. 3. Extreme Programming: It is used in combination with the process modeling and management principles of human interaction management. 4. Event chain methodology: It is another method that

ubiquitous rationalization. The key positive factors identified by researchers that is facilitating industrial modernization and enterprise development have ranged from favourable political-legal environment for industry and commerce through abundant natural resources of various kinds, to plentiful supplies of relatively low cost, skilled and adaptable labour. During the process of industrialization level of income per person (per capita income) rises and productivity level increases, there is wide
