Abstract:
The Tanzania telecommunication sector has witnessed fast growth in the number of mobile telephone users now served by seven cellular operators. Until February 2012, there were about 26 million mobile phone subscribers served by more than 4,000 base stations spread all over the country. Despite the many advantages brought by these systems, there is increased public concern over possible adverse health effects due to electromagnetic fields (EMF) radiated by these equipments. This paper aimed to analyze the impact of the electromagnetic radiations from cellular phones to male sperm infertility. The cellular phones with operating frequency of 900MHz and operating frequency 1800MHz were placed at a certain distance near the male reproductive organ (testis) and then electromagnetic wave radiated by the phone were analyzed by measuring the SAR of the testis. It was concluded that there is significant impact on the male sperm fertility on the exposure of the male reproductive organ to the radiations from the cellular phones at the specified operating frequencies near the testis. Several recommendations has been provided, that radiating devices should not be placed on the male pocket trouser for storage and also making calls while the cell phone is in pocket trouser (ie using headphones to receive or make a call) should be completely avoided.

Abstract:
This paper simulated a generator circuit breaker model using ATP-EMTP simulation package. The frequency of oscillations produced at current zero is reduced as the short circuit current increased. At 80 kA short circuit a resignation is happened at first current zero, while the success interruption is happened at the second current zero, at a capacitance of 8.3nF. As the short circuit current increases, more than 80 kA, the circuit breaker fails to interrupt with the small terminal capacitor, i.e. 8.3nF, 10nF and 20nF. The TRV is decreased as the value of the terminal capacitor increased. At a certain value of the terminal capacitor, the TRV is increased with increasing the short circuit current. The RRRV decreases as the value of the terminal capacitor increased. Also, at a certain value of the terminal capacitance, the RRRV decreases with decreasing the short circuit current.

Abstract:
Education includes all those life experience of a child from which he or she learns something. It is important for the teacher to recognize that every activity of the pupil whether he is aggressive, co-operative, delinquent, or in fact doing anything, he is making adjustments. The adjustment he makes may not be a good one so far as society is concerned but it is an adjustment. Its purpose is to satisfy some or the other need of the individual. The teachers are more concerned with the adjustment because the primary purpose of education is to train children for life. The process of adjustment starts right from the birth of the child and continues till his death. When the internal needs of the human beings oppose external demands, conflicts arise in mind. This creates tensions, frustrations etc, and it produce anxiety.

Abstract:
Data quality is a critical problem in modern databases. Data-entry forms present the first and arguably best opportunity for detecting and mitigating errors, but there has been little research into automatic methods for improving data quality at entry time. In this paper, we propose USHER, an end-to-end system for form design, entry, and data quality assurance. Using previous form submissions, USHER learns a probabilistic model over the questions of the form. USHER then applies this model at every step of the data-entry process to improve data quality.

Abstract:
The stereoselective oxidation of an unreactive alkane C-H bond is most often carried out by monoxygenases or oxygenases including dioxygenases which use iron as a cofactor and constitute a family of enzymes, e.g. Redox enzymes. A dioxygenase is an enzyme which incorporates both the atoms of molecular oxygen into kinds of substrates. The oxidative transformation reactions are common reactions during fruit ripening and Abscisic acid biosynthesis in strawberries. The main substrate of 2-OG (orthoglutarate) dependent dioxygenases is glutarate which is converted in succinate during flavor biogenesis.

Abstract:
Currently, much of our biodegradable wastes such as kitchen wastes, agricultural wastes & animal wastes are used to produce Biogas, a powerful greenhouse gas. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a treatment that composts these wastes in the absence of oxygen, producing a biogas that can be used to generate Heat & Power. Producing renewable energy from our biodegradable wastes helps to tackle the energy crisis. It is effectively a controlled and enclosed version of the anaerobic breakdown of organic wastes which releases methane. AD produces a biogas made up of around 60 per cent methane and 40 per cent carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Abstract:
Multilevel converters offer high power capability, associated with lower output harmonics and lower commutation losses. Their main disadvantage is their complexity, requiring a great number of power devices and passive components, and a rather complex control circuitry. This paper proposes a single-phase seven- level inverter for grid connected PV systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM) control scheme. Three reference signals that are identical to each other with an offset that is equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate the PWM signals. The inverter is capable of producing seven levels of output-voltage levels from the dc supply voltage.

Abstract:
In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized by using zinc chloride and sodium hydroxide as the precursors at different temperatures. The ZnO nanostructures obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X ray Spectroscopy (EDAX).The ZnO powders have hexagonal wurtzite structure and nanometric-sized crystallites. The size of the particle increases as the reaction temperature is increased. An attempt has been made to find out the effect of temperature on the morphology as well as particle size and to optimize the value of temperature for stable smaller sized particles. Once the temperature is optimised effect of base concentration is studied.

Abstract:
Pulmonary nocardiosis (PN) is an infrequent and severe infection due to Nocardia spp. It is more common in immunosuppressed individual. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features, evolution and prognosis of PN in immuno-competent hosts. The study group comprised 4 consecutive immuno-competent patients with pulmonary nocardiosis acquired in a community setting, diagnosed and followed in a tertiary care hospital.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary tuberculosis were the underlying diseases. Two patients had received anti-tubercular treatment before isolation of Nocardia spp. Clinical course was chronic and diagnosis was delayed 2 weeks or more in two out of four patients. Lobar or multilobar condensation was the most frequent radiographic pattern. The disease remained localized in the lung in all the four cases, with a trend toward chronicity in one with bronchiectasis.

Abstract:
Since millennia India has been the land of Cultural tradition and religious value, which spreads rich and varied cultural heritage. This heritage have scattered all over the India in the form of Archaeological Monuments and sites of various type like Temples, Mosques, Churches, Monasteries, Stupas, Step Wells, Megalithic Pillars, Kos Minar, Mausoleums, Forts and Fortification, Tombs and ancient sites belonging to Pre-historic, historical and Medieval period. Among all these monuments Ajanta caves (which are located in Maharashtra state) are one of the most significant examples of Buddhist site and has been the proud of our cultural history related to 2 century B.C. to 4 century A.D. Not only its structure, painting, carving, stone work, sculptures are peculiar but also its paintings which are related to Buddhist are the most authentic example of our Buddhist Indian History. They have its own identity which told the story of its magnificent past. Yet Ajanta caves are in deterioration process but there are so many conservation work is being conducted by chemical branch of Archaeological Survey of India which are very laudable. So the main aspect of my paper is to throw some light on deterioration and conservation problems related to Ajanta caves.

Abstract:
Demands on labour force nowadays increased rapidly each year as the globalization become a national core business, especially in construction sector. Construction sector provides all kind of national needs and Malaysia become a well-developed country in the world. But there is an issue where the citizens have their own demand on choosing work which they refused to work as a construction labour. However, work in the construction sector is often stigmatized with 4D (dirty, dangerous, difficult, and demeaning). Besides that, labour resources are important in ensuring the successful completion of a project. Therefore, Malaysia construction sector had been pulling factor for foreign labour migration in this country. Nowadays, the foreign labour holds the major composition of labour on construction project.

Abstract:
Air pollution has been identified as one of the silent killers in the present world as pollutants are taking lives of people without making any noise. Unlike other disasters, air pollution destroys human life gradually. People can see and people can predict when disasters occur. However, people cannot understand or cannot see when air pollution is taking place until people are seriously affected.
The road transport and traffic significantly contribute to degrade the quality of air in any region of the world. This study attempts to examine the spatial pattern of Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide in the city of Colombo using the data collected by the National Building Research Organization (NBRO), Sri Lanka from January, 2003 to December, 2005. Some socio-economic data which are used as explanatory variables for the spatial pattern of air pollutants were collected from different government organizations.

Abstract:
The experiment was initiated at the experimental farm of Darjeeling Tea Research and Development Centre, Kurseong (Darjeeling) during 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study the performance by morphological characteristics of tea clones in the nursery through vegetative propagation. The ultimate objective was to screen out the best planting material having good establishment potential in the nursery. For morphological study, cuttings were obtained from the selected mother bushes of different Tea Estates of Darjeeling. The performance of tea clones was evaluated in respect of survival percentage, plant height, number of branches¬¬ per plant, shoot and root volume, number of leaves per plant. During the study it has been observed that morphological traits such as shoot length, root length, shoot- root volume, number of leaves and branches can be used to distinguish between the camellia species. The information on morphological diversity can also be used for future breeding programmes. In this study it has been found that the highest survival percentage was obtained from old chinery plant (96.53%), followed by CP-1(96.17%), B-157(95%) and T-78(94.63). The clone T-78 perform best in respect of shoot length (60.22cm), shoot volume (30.89cc), number of leaves (39.78) and branches per plant (7.33) respectively as compare to other clones.

Abstract:
MANETs are very popular because of its infrastructure less network. These mobile nodes serve as both hosts and routers so they can forward packets on behalf of each other. It has restricted computing resources and due to mobility of node there is much change in network topology. These restrictions raise several new challenges for data access applications with the respects of data availability and access delay. This result in lower data availability in mobile ad-hoc networks than in wired networks. One probable solution to avoid this problem is to take up replication techniques which increases data availability and decrease query response delay.

Abstract:
The present study aims at examining the river bed sediments for the distribution of organic matter and toxic heavy metal in the Amaravathi River. Two sediment samples were collected at both the banks from 6 sampling stations. The samples were acid treated and the concentration of metals, like lead, copper and iron were recorded using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The total organic matter and physico chemical parameters were analysed for all the samples. Most of the heavy metals have precipitated and settled into the river bed as carbonates, oxides and hydroxides. The pollutants are deposited in association with very fine particles of silt and clay. The silt and clay act as adsorbents along with the inorganic and organic mattes.

Abstract:
Encryption is a process of generating secrect text from the input text using a secret key and a encryption algorithm. Input text is refered to as plain text and the secret text generated is known as cipher text. Encryption algorithms are mainly divided into two categories which are symmetric key encryption algorithm and asymmetric key encryption algorithm. In Symmetric key encryption algorithm the same key is used by both sender and receiver but in asymmetric key algorithm sender and receiver both uses the different keys. In this paper, we present a technique based on symmetric key encryption algorithm which uses ASCII vales of input text to encrypt the data. Text data encryption techniques are very useful in data communication where one user want to send some secret messages to another users.

Twelve preparation of the ethanol and water extracts of four medicinal plants,Anogeissus leiocarpus(root and bark), Terminalia glaucescens(root and bark), Adansonia digitata(bark) and Lennea welwitschii(bark) were screened for their inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhii, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysentriae using the agar-diffusion method. The efficacy of the extracts was assessed by measuring the diameter of zone of inhibition around the colonies on nutrient agar medium. The result obtained showed that the ethanol extracts (root) from T. glaucenscens and A. leiocarpus were active against all the test bacteria. The ethanol and aqueous extracts of A. digitata did not exert any inhibitory effect on test organisms, while the other eight extracts exhibited variable antibacterial activities.

Abstract:
Sawdusts are major by-product of wood processing with diverse uses. Extracts of sawdust of different wood type differ due to the different chemical composition inherent in them. The aim of this work was to utilize micronuclei test as a standard system to monitor toxicity using C. gariepinus as a bioindicator. For this, the fish were exposed for 21 days to extracts of five species of woodshavings /sawdusts collected from Okobaba Timber depot, Lagos. Extracts of Populus euphratrica oliver, N. dendiirichi, Eucalyptus botryoides, Acacia seberiana, Raphia hookeri mann were used. Micronucleus genotoxic studies were carried out at graded concentrations of the extracts. Genotoxic procedure was done through collection of blood from the peripheral caudal fin.

Abstract:
The social fabric is the force that brings the society together so that there is social cohesion and stability. It is only when the society is in a stable condition that development and the realisation of social goals are attainable, hence the need to strengthen the social fabric. Over the past decade the social fabric of Zimbabwe has been in a free fall, leading to a state of anarchy and fear. Indicators like corruption, lawlessness, violence, indiscipline to name a few have been used as evidence that our fabric is now held by few threads. A study carried out at Solusi community has found out that this community has a very strong social fabric that binds the whole community together in a harmonious way.

Abstract:
Effluent Coda originating from palmyrah toddy distillery units is the major source of environmental pollution in the Jaffna district of Sri Lanka. Spent wash produced from distilleries is rich in organic material and characteristically less toxic. A research was carried out to find the optimal dilution factor of the effluent before discharge through construction of wet lands which is a new, ecofriendly, economically viable and environmentally safe strategy to manage the distillery effluent. The effluent was diluted as 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 times with ground water. Complete failures of first series of dilution, treatments were discarded and new effluent was further diluted 5, 10 and 20 times to facilitate the optimum plant growth.
