Abstract:
Time spent in front of a computer may constitute a risk for the smoothness of the emotional contact and for the mental flow, especially for the senior-age category of population. In this study, we hypothesized that increases in age, respectively a multitude of worries related to the health condition, in association to a time spent in front of a computer higher than two hours per day, will determine a decrease in the feeling of success. We collected data via Internet and on paper-based format, through a back-translated measure. The examination of the hypotheses of study was in a multi-cultural sample of N = 261 participants, almost equally-sized by gender, having calculated cumulative frequency equal to 5.9 for the age of 35, 60, 63, 64 years old. The results obtained from conducting TWO-WAY ANOVA proved entire support of the hypotheses of this study. We discuss the limitations and the implications of these results for the development and maintenance of a healthy life-expectancy within various populations.

Abstract:
An estuary is a unique area exhibiting environmental and biological gradients. The estuarine species prefer an optimum niche along this gradient. The environmental parameters have relative influence on species diversity, biomass and population density of macrobenthos. We analysed the density and distribution of the edible clam, Paphia malabarica in the two tropical estuaries (Ashtamudi estuary, a deep lake and Kayamkulam estuary, a shallow lake in the south-west coast of India) in relation to the varying environmental factors for two years. The observations clearly indicated the existence of significant relationship between the biological and environmental variables. The density and distribution of the clam illustrated spatio-temporal variations in relation to the changing hydrologic and sediment parameters. Peak clam density values were obtained in the premonsoon followed by postmonsoon and least in the monsoon. The lower reaches were denser than the upper reaches of the estuary. The results of the study revealed that the density and distribution of the clam Paphia malabarica in the two estuaries were predominantly influenced by the environmental parameters such as salinity, organic carbon, sediment pH and sand fraction of sediment. The density and distribution of the clam was found decreasing in a decreasing gradient of these factors.

Abstract:
In this research we use the numerical solution method that is based on Chebyshev polynomials and Legendre polynomials, to solve non-singular integral equation, it is known as Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. We use these expansions because of their convergence and recurrence properties. Also both of them can be represented as trigonometric function on [1, -1]. First, we expand the unknown function in the integral equation based on the related formulas, then develop kernel of integral equation. To find these, we should try to find a function which can be represented as the solution of linear differential equations. Then substitution into the integral equation, we find the coefficients of the function. At the end of research the method will be illustrated by the mean of an example.

Abstract:
High voltage metal oxide surge arresters (MOSA) are stressed by overvoltages generated in a power system. The selection of standard methods for the energy absorption capability of high voltage MOSA is based on the discharge energy estimation. This paper discusses the energy stresses of metal oxide surge arrester due to shielding failure. The energy stresses are calculated for arresters located inside 220/66/11 kV Wadi-Hoff gas insulated substation in the Egyptian network. A lightning stroke with different magnitudes is applied at different points along the line connected between Wadi-Hoff substation and Tebbin-power stations and the energy stress in each case is discussed. The effects of incoming and outgoing feeders types on FTO magnitudes and energy stresses are presented and discussed.

Abstract:
A ten (10) weeks polyethene sack experiment was conducted at National Biotechnology Development Agency, South West BIODEC Zonal Centre Owode Yewa South, Ogun state, Nigeria between November 2014 and January 2015 to evaluate the effect of chicken (layer) manure (CLM), cow dungs (CD) and saw dust (SD) mixture on the growth and yield of okra (Ablelmoscus esculentus) in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) replicated three times. The experiment consisted of three treatments including the control, viz; T1 (50g CLM + 30g (CD) +20g (SD), T2 (30g (CLM) + 50g (CD) +20g (SD) and T3 (no application) as control. Parameters measured included plant height, number of leaves, number of fruits, weight of pod, number of branches, stem girt per plant. Data collected were subjected to a one –way analysis of variance. F-protected Fisher’s Least Significant Difference was used to separate the significant mean at 5percent level of confidence. From the results obtained, there was a significant (P<0.05) difference in the treatment effect on the number of leaves but no significant (P>0.05) difference was computed in all other parameters measured. Application of 30g (CLM) + 50g (CD) +20g (SD) mixture resulted in the highest okra growth and yield parameters among the treatment mixtures and could be demonstrated and disseminated by change agents for adoption by farmers in the study area to improve their okra yields.

Abstract:
Proper identification of a pest (being it an invasive or native in an area) is a cornerstone to sustainable pest management. Of recent (July to December 2015) we identified a phytophagus species of coccinellidae feeding on lower epidermis and the mesophyll cells in maize leaves, leaving the upper epidermis and the veins intact. In the survey, three maize fields of approximately an acre were selected based on the presence of the insect pest; in a cross-section pattern 100 plants were examined for the presence of the pest and signs of plant damages by the insect pest. Data on insects counts (larva, pupa and adult) were recorded right in the field, plant damages were scored as a percent of damaged against undamaged plants. 50Adult were collected to TPRI- Insect collection reference centre for identification. Data on insect counts and damage scores were analyzed using Genstat software. The identification results showed that, the pest was Tef Epilachna or Tef Ladybird Beetle, Chnootriba similis,Thunberg; (Coleopteran:Coccinellidae), formally Epilachna similis, Thunberg; (Coleopteran:Coccinellidae). The mean percent plant damages in all the three fields were scored to field I = 37%, field II = 41% and field III = 34%. The highest mean insect counts obtained in every 100 plants were larva=512, pupa= 308 and adult= 702. This information therefore serves as a first record of the presence of the pest in the area against maize (Zea mays. L).

Abstract:
Symbiogenesis, or endosymbiotic theory, is an evolutionary theory that explains the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotes. It states that several key organelles of eukaryotes originated as a symbiosis between separate single-celled organisms. According to this theory, mitochondria, plastids (for example chloroplasts), and possibly other organelles representing formerly free-living bacteria (prokaryotes) were taken inside another cell as an endosymbiont around 1.5 billion years ago. According to Endo-symbiotic theory, mitochondrion and chloroplast has originated from bacteria. But if we compare the genomes of bacteria, chloroplast and mitochondrion there is a difference in the protein synthesizing machineries of all the three structures indicating that they have origination is some thing different from endo-symbiotic theory.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the implementation of wind turbine driven by Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) using Matlab/Simulink and Labview. Here, Matlab/simulink readily deals with the Second Order Sliding Mode (SOSM) controller with DFIG wind turbine. SOSM control is used in order to obtain finite reaching time. Maximum power can be obtained by directly tracking the torque obtained. By SOSM controller, Maximum power extraction can be done with reduced mechanical stresses. In conventional methods due to failure in accuracies optimal power extraction is not done. This can be overcome by using SOSM control which will allow tracking DFIG torque directly for extracting maximum power. Turbine tip speed ratio is considered in doing so. The stator of the machine is directly connected to the power grid while the rotor is controlled by an inverter. Labview here is used for graphical representation of the desired output. Labview programs are integrated with DFIG wind turbine in order to acquire, analyze and displaying the data. In this paper, implementation of a DFIG based wind turbine is done and it is integrated with Labview. The results obtained here readily implies where the maximum power is extracted.

Abstract:
Assessing the intensity of diseases with the spread of bacteria among plants through a trivariate stochastic model is proposed in this study. The parameters of disease spread are varying with the type and stage of the plant. This study has considered three stages of plants namely Nursery stage, Transplantation stage and completely grown/Yielding stage as three variates for getting the joint probability functions. Stochastic differential equations were formulated through trivariate point processes for deriving several statistical measures based on the proposed parameters of bacteria growth, spread and loss. Model behavior was observed through the sensitivity analysis. The statistical measures based on moments are obtained for varying values of single parameters when all the remaining parameters are unchanged.

Abstract:
The article explores the impact of E-commerce on young generation. Indian E-Commerce market is growing faster and expected to see tremendous growth over next few years. The E-commerce industry has experienced unprecedented growth with its total revenue increasing over 60 times between 2010 and 2015. Even though there are only under-10 million internet users who actually buy online in India, there are about 150 million internet users or around 75 million households that are 'ready' for E-commerce. For a developing country such as India, one of the most important benefits of E-Commerce is its potential to help our young generation in earning a living. As the base of Indian e-commerce grows, high margin businesses will generate the steadiest returns for investors. E-Commerce, consisting of marketing and other business processes conducted over the computer-mediated networks is changing the way organizations in many industries function. It leads to the mechanization of some job functions and replaces others with self service operations, raising output per worker and inhibiting employment requirements in some occupations. The introduction and Implementation of new technologies has posed important challenges for the commercial workers worldwide. E-commerce has also spurred employment in industries producing software, and systems used by E-commerce and other occupations associated with websites and networks. The youth especially in the area of engineering and technology are benefiting from this. Young graduates today prefer e-commerce sector and even aspire to become first-generation successful entrepreneurs by investing in the sector.

Abstract:
This paper focused on the overview of failure analysis of high tensile fasteners. An industrial fastener comprises a very wide range of items like nuts and bolts, washers, studs, nails etc. Nuts and bolts are used for fastening purpose in industries where the replacement of pieces and the parts is necessary. Although, fastener is a low cost class C item but fastener failure is undesirable as is the first item that gets the blame when there is a failure, aftereffects of fastener failure are cumbersome which cause financial loss to machine & process. Hence, the cause of failure is understood & eliminated.

Abstract:
Kandyan Home Gardens (KHG) of Sri Lanka are economically efficient, socio-culturally and politically embedded, ecologically sustainable unique places, which managed by dwellers based on the knowledge that transmits over generations, and experience gained by living in the society. The main objective of the study was to identify the mechanism behind it, especially biodiversity. To achieve the objective seven traditional villages of Kandy district of Sri Lanka were studied for 5 years. The main finding of the study is that biodiversity of KHGs is a part of place process of the study area. Hence, to identify the biodiversity and biodiversity conservation role of KHGs place process of the place has to be understood. Location determines the basic biophysical characteristics of the home gardens (HG). Social structures define the ethno-botanical values of plant species and create the demand for that resource. Then, based on ethno-botanical values of plant species, people change the place and its biodiversity as a place that produces essential resources for reproduction of social structures. In this sense, biodiversity of KHGs is a result of place process. On the other hand, HGs ensure the reproduction social structures by continues supply of resources to perform the institutional projects. It leads to the societal security and the stability (both in family and community). Such a feeling of structures motivates dwellers to maintain vast numbers of plant species in their HG.

Abstract:
In high voltage power cable, partial discharge (PD) phenomenon may occur within defects that can exist in its insulation system. Repetition of PD activity inside the defect may cause insulation breakdown when the defect grows until it bridges the electrodes between the insulation. Micro-cracks can be formed during cable installation or during passing heavy mechanical load above the underground power cable. This crack defect is one of the most common PD sources when cable insulation is stressed under high electric field. In this paper, electric field distribution within 132kV cross linked polyethylene cable was calculated and discussed using Finite Element Method. The effect of micro-crack size and location on the electric field distribution was presented.

Abstract:
This study aimed to assess the nutritional status and associated factors of children age five years and below in Ethiopia. The study was based on the secondary data obtained from Ethiopian demographic and health survey database collected in 2011. A total of 9622 of children aged five years and below which contain the necessary information were considered in this study, analysed within a theoretical framework based on a health production function. A multilevel binary logistic regression model with random-intercepts was used for estimating the determinants of child nutritional status.The empirical results revealed that children from households in Tigray, Affar and Amhara regions were less-nourished. Level of education of parents, possession of media infrastructure (TV and radio), assets of household, contraceptive adoption and the condition of sanitation and water were considered to be important determinants of nutritional status of children. The pattern of growth-faltering in children by age was identified. Children aged 13-59 months were less-nourished than those aged 0-12 months. In addition to analyzing nutritional status for the whole sample, we have also separately analyzed for urban and rural households, and found that the determinants differed. Finally, based on the results of the study, the paper proposes several policies aimed at improving the delivery of nutrition to more effectively address the problem of under-nutrition.

Abstract:
The main focus of this review is to identify the major drivers of Ethiopian Economic Growth. A deep literature review was done on 12 papers conducted in Ethiopia between year 2011 and 2015. The review result shows that Economic growth, as measured by GDP, is highly and positively influenced by human capital investment and export in both short and long run. In the same token, public expenditure (for productive sector), private investment, real exchange rate and household consumption are also important in determining economic growth, especially in the long run. The study finally recommends that Ethiopia should seriously work in sustaining the current progress in growth hemisphere. For this purpose the country need to promote private and public sector investment, human capital development and institutional capacity building.

Abstract:
I explore discrimination faced by women in the world because of their Gender. Gender includes a range of physical, biological and behavioral characteristics pertaining to and differentiating between masculinity and feminity. Gender inequality still exists globally despite of substantial national and international measures that have taken towards Gender equality. At least one in three women around the world is estimated to have been coerced in Sex, physically beaten or otherwise abused in her life time. Far reaching commitments to gender equality and women’s human rights are capsulated in core international human rights instrument, including the CEDAW, Beijing Declaration etc. The greatest step taken by the United Nations is in form of Millennium Development Goal.

Abstract:
Genetic markers are useful in identification of various genetic variations. The development of DNA-based genetic markers has had a revolutionary impact on genetic studies. With DNA markers, it is theoretically possible to observe and exploit genetic variation in the entire genome. These markers can be used to study the evolutionary relationships among individuals. Popular genetic markers include allozymes, mitochondrial DNA, RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, microsatellite, SNP, and EST markers. The application of DNA markers has allowed rapid progress in investigations of genetic variability and inbreeding, parentage assignments, species and strain identification, and the construction of high-resolution genetic linkage maps for aquaculture species. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomic and transcriptomic approaches to biology. The new sequencing tools are also valuable for the discovery, validation and assessment of genetic markers in populations. This review focuses on importance and uses of genetic markers with advent of modern technologies.

Abstract:
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely used biological model to investigate different chemicals since it has certain similarities with human biology. Present study investigated the impact of monosodium glutamate (MSG); an excessively used food additive in all over the world, on the embryonic development of zebrafish. Acute toxicity experiments were performed for a 4-day period using zebrafish eggs. Ten different test concentrations of Monosodium glutamate (MSG) of 10, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500 mgL⁻1 were used as treatment concentrations. The results clearly indicated that with the increase of the MSG concentrations, different observable deformities are formed in zebrafish embryo. At the low concentrations of MSG such as 10, 30, 50 mgL⁻1 there were no observable malformations in zebrafish embryonic development. However, at high concentrations such as 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500 mgL⁻1 there were distinguishable negative alterations such as growth retardation, shrinkage of chorion, yolk sac edema, lack of pigmentation, tail deformities and scoliosis in developing embryos. Zebrafish embryo can be successfully used to investigate excititoxins such as MSG. However, the impacts of these concentrations on internal anatomical and physiological changes in zebrafish embryo should be comprehensively investigated.

Abstract:
Graphite as we all know is well renowned for its ability to conduct electricity as well as its lubricant nature. Graphite has a honey comb structured planes where carbon atoms are bound together by strong covalent bonds. And each of these layers of carbon is bound together by weak van der Waals bonds. Grease is a semi solid lubricant widely used in the industrial world to reduce ware and tare. Grease is made of three principal components known as a base oil, thickener and additives. Thus combining graphite with grease would preferably transfer the electro-conductive nature of graphite to grease forming an electro-conductive grease. Usage of such a product would be, Grounding static discharges, provides electrical continuity between irregular or pitted surfaces, ensures electrical contact between loose or vibrating parts and small gaps, apply to ball bearings in computer equipment where it allows static discharge to pass through the bearing instead of building up, arcing, extending the Life of Rotating Switches, preventing Corrosion on Knife Switches, grounding Ball and Socket Connections on Power Insulators.

Abstract:
Calculation of bending and pitting strength of gear drive is one of the important concerns towards the efficiency improvement program in modern industries. Some preliminary experiments uses calculation methods based on uniform load distribution model on the gear teeth.The results obtained by such experiments are not parallel to recent estimations based on the non-uniform load distribution on gear teeth. Due to different mesh stiffness on different load points, non-uniform load distribution is the actual loading condition. American Gear Manufacturers Association(AGMA) and ISO standards assumes uniform model of load distribution which is not accurate. In order to create coherence among the results obtained by AGMA and ISO, a number of modifications factors have been applied in derived mathematical relations for gears. Latest methods such as minimum elastic potential energy method have been introduced to overcome drawbacks of these mathematical relations.This review article highlights a number of such methods in chronological order so that reader may obtain a overview of contribution of various scientists in development of gears having least bending and contact stress.

Abstract:
The climate system of the Earth undergoes dramatic changes over the past few millennia and information about these changes can best be obtained from the study of a spectrum of climate dependent natural processes that are measurable using geological archives. Such measurements of climate parameters using proxies in geological archives are now being used widely to refine climate predictive models deduced from limited instrumental measurements. Although several archives are used to measure climate parameters using proxy evidences, the potentials of soils are rarely being used in paleo-climate studies. Here, we examine records of climate changes in a few soil profiles in the forestlands of the Southern Western Ghats, SW India. The altitudinal height of the studied locations ranges from 150 m to 2000 m above msl. Clay, sandy clay and sandy clay loam are the dominant soil types of the area. Among the different forest categories of the study area, tropical montane forests sequester higher organic carbon and nitrogen in the soils. Radiocarbon dates of the organic rich samples of the soil profiles vary from 3150 ± 90 yrs BP to Modern age. The study reveals that the soil of the study area is developed in high rain fall events punctuated by a dry event at 1500-1000 yrs BP.

Abstract:
The most fundamental arithmetic operation is addition which is used in a digital data path logic system. Arithmetic and logic units , Microprocessors ,etc. are some examples where we need to use arithmetic operations for processing data, for calculating addresses respectively .There are different architectures for building adder circuit .For example: 1)carry look ahead adder(CLA), 2)carry propagate adder(CPA), 3)carry save adder(CSA), & 4)carry select adder(CSLA) . Among these different architectures CSLA is a particular way of implementing adder that performs addition rapidly and are used for faster addition in many data processing processors .From observation of the carry select adder architecture we can see that there is scope for modification in order to significantly minimize the area and power consumed by the circuit. In this work we are going to propose simple and efficient modification at gate-level structure in CSLA. Based on this 16-, 32-bit square root CSLA (SQRT CSLA) have been developed & compared with regular structure. The proposed architecture design has reduced area & power consumption compared to regular structure with slight increase in delay. The evaluation of the proposed design is done based on delay, area & power performance metrics. The results show that proposed CSLA design is better than regular SQRT CSLA.

Abstract:
Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a composite material consisting of cement based matrix with an ordered or random distribution of fiber which can be steel, nylon, polythene etc. The addition of steel fibre increases the properties of concrete, viz., flexural strength, impact strength and shrinkage properties to name a few. A number of papers have already been published on the use of steel fibres in concrete and a considerable amount of research has been directed towards studying the various properties of concrete as well as reinforced concrete due to the addition of steel fibres. Hence, an attempt has been made in the present investigations to study the influence of addition of polythene fibers (domestic waste plastics) at a dosage of 0.5% by weight of cement. The properties studied include compressive strength and flexural strength. The studies were conducted on a M20 mix and tests have been carried out as per recommended procedures of relevant codes. The results are compared and conclusions are made.

The River Cauvery is considered to be the main source of drinking water supply. Deterioration of drinking water quality continues to be a major problem. Hence, the present study aimed at analyzing toxic metals such as Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb) using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in the surface water and sediment collected from twenty different locations of river Cauvery. The mean concentrations of Pb, Cr and Cd in water exceeded the permissible limit and concentrations of Ni, Cr and Pd showed contamination of sediment samples of river Cauvery. The study on the Pollution Load Index (PLI) has also confirmed low to moderate level of contamination. The correlation between metals and hazard quotient revealed significant health risk to the local human population by Pb through intake of water. Acute risk to aquatic organisms due to Pb and Cd concentration in water from the study area is also predicted.

Abstract:
Sign Language Recognition has evolved as an important area of research in the past few years. Sign language can be defined as the language of the deaf and dumb people by which they are able to express their thoughts. Such people are not able to use acoustic means for the purpose of communicating, instead they convey message by making use of the Sign Language. Thus Sign language is a means developed for the deaf and dumb society by which they can visually transmit different sign patterns to convey their message by combining simultaneously hand shapes, movement of hands and orientation of hands which are also sometimes associated with the facial expressions.
