Abstract: This study aimed to find empirical evidence about the effect of risk on stock return in cement industry which listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. In this study risk was divided into two categories, systemic risk and unsystemic risk. Samples used in this study are public firms in cement subsector listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2011-2016, which selected by purposive sampling. The model was evaluated by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and linearregression. The result of this study from both analysis has shown that systemic risk has significant effect on stock return. On the other side, unsystemic risk didn’t have significant effect on stock return. This was because the unsystemic risk can be diversified, neither did systemic risk.

Abstract: The marketplace is highly competitive and dynamic in nature. The customers are more intelligent, and have an access to different channels and choices to get their benefits. Therefore, companies are in serious need to differentiate their brands as they resist for permanent business.Unfortunately, one of the problems that consumers are exposed to when purchasing goods is to choose the product of one brand name among various brand names. Customers select the products according to their experience and knowledge of different brand names which especially applies to telecom sector. Customer loyalty is one of the effective factors to maintain and strengthen the relationship between customers and brand. In this era, where intensityof rivalry, customers are the center of organizations' cognizance, their loyalty reduce marketing costs, attract new customers, and gain a competitive advantage over organizations.

Abstract: Pallathuruthy is a meeting point between Pamba River and Vembanad Lake of Kerala, South India. So it is an estuarine habitat. The present study analyses the seasonal variation in fish faunal diversity and its relation with existing water quality parameters through cluster analysis. The study showed that there was significant variation in diversity and fish catch strength between three seasons like pre monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon. High species diversity was observed during monsoon season, while good catch strength was obtained during post monsoon. Results of water quality analysis have showed that TDS, Copper, chromium, cadmium and lead content in water were beyond the limit set by IS (2012). Also regarding the sediment quality the cadmium content was above the threshold effect level prescribed by Canadian Sediment Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life (2001). So, urgent measures were inevitable to sustain the existing fish wealth of this estuarine area.

Abstract: Two German Mathematician H.A.Schwarz (1843-1921) and E.B.Christoffel (1829-1900) established Schwarz-Christoffel transformation independently. The Schwarz-Christoffel transformation referred by many researchers due to have a vast applications in solving 2nd order partial differential equations like as Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations[3,4] and to study the different phenomena’s of fluid flow. In this paper we would like to show the applications of Schwarz-Christoffel transformation directly to the solutions of problems in fluid flow and electrostatic potential theory.

Abstract: This paper proposes a class of exponential type estimator to estimate the population mean in the presence of non-response adapting the estimators suggested by Singh et.al [1], Kumar and Bhougal [2], and Rachokarn and Lawson [3]. The general expressions for bias and MSE of the proposed class of estimator have been obtained. In addition, theoretical and numerical studies were used in order to access the performance of proposed class of estimator. The results of this study showed that the proposed class of estimator is always efficient under the percent relative efficiencies (PREs) criterion as compared to other relevant estimators.

Abstract: This research investigated students’ transfer of learning from calculus courses knowledge to an introductory physics course. In this study we used interviews and questionnaires methods to assess the extent to which students transfer their calculus knowledge when solving problems in a physics course. Difficulty problems present interviewees with an intermediate step in the form of a mathematical integration and ask students to come up with a physical scenario relevant to the integral provided. Results indicate that students often had difficulty taking apart the given problem and they needed prompting to connect the calculus knowledge with the physics problem. We also observe the result from pre-test to interviews of the students’ background and knowledge of calculus, which is very poor. Generally, from all tests, quiz and final exam of students result almost 45% of them transfer calculus knowledge to introductory physics courses whereas 55% of them are still with confusion of identifying the derivatives and integrands. This is proven by questioning their calculus instructors and introductory physics instructors. Both department instructors are satisfied very deeply 28.6% to students calculus background, 42.9% medium,14.3% deep and shallow satisfaction calculus respectively.

Abstract: Professional development (PD) is a tool used to learn new skills or update existing ones and help professionals to achieve their career goals. Unfortunately,some people consider PD to be worthlessbecause it may notalways align with career goals. PD is never a substitute for mainstream tertiary studies and it is not a magic solution to all career aspirations. This is why it is important to make educated decisions about what PD to undertake and to be informed about the value that PD may or may not add. We must always consider the learning outcome of any chosen PD and balance this against our professional goals, budget and/or overall compliance requirements of the industry that we are working in.

Abstract: The listening skill seems to be the most difficult among all language skills. This difficulty stems from linguistic and non-linguistic problems i.e. difficulties that accompany the process of teaching and learning listening. This paper aims to investigate the most problematic areas in teaching the listening skill. Two data collection procedures were employed to collect the data for this study; a classroom observation, and a questionnaire for teachers. Fifty teachers of English language responded to the questionnaire and 11 secondary schools in five districts of Aden Governorate were observed for the purpose of collecting data on the teaching of the listening skill. The data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively.

Abstract: A clinical study of the challenges confronting Rivers State, an oil producing state south of the deltaic region of Nigeria was carried out by this paper. These challenges were looked at from two perspectives; a state that has only succeeded in developing one city, the state capital after over 40years of existence and secondly, the implication for that city, Port Harcourt in a state characterized by mass of underdeveloped rural communities. This work is a product of months of intensive field work. Both primary and secondary information contributed greatly to give us a true picture of “the way things are” in our study area. From this picture we were able to draw a conclusion that there exist socio-economic and environmental ‘crises’ in the city of Port Harcourt. This paper was also able to prove that the failure of successive governments in the state to pursue their visions of developing secondary cities was responsible for such ‘crises’. The paper at the end has been able to provide answer to the question of ‘what is to be done’ in the face of the existing ‘crises’.

Abstract: The study was conducted for Nine Fogera cows with average age, parity, initial body weight and stage of lactation was 9.3 year, 4.4, 262.7kg and 53.1 days, respectively used for the feeding trial were randomly assigned to three treatments. The treatments were 67% wheat bran and 33% NSC from 2kg concentrate + untreated rice straw (T1), 67% wheat bran and 33% NSC from 2kg concentrate +urea treated rice straw (T2) and 67% wheat bran and 33% NSC from 2kg concentrate + rice straw treated by effective micro-organism (T3). Animals were blocked based on their initial body weight in randomized complete block design. Feeding of Fogera cows with EMO treated rice straw resulted in significantly (p<0.05) higher daily dry matter intake (8.52 kg/cow, higher daily weight gain (27.7 g/day), higher daily milk yield (2.82l/day) and highest net income and marginal return rate (MRR) (82.6 and 194%, respectively) when compared with those cows fed on untreated rice straw. Hence, according to the results of this study feeding of lactating Fogera cows with EMO treated rice straw is efficient for both biologically and economically compared to urea treated rice straw.

Abstract: Cohesion as an important linguistic feature has provoked many researchers’ interest. To explore the uniformity and regularity in conjunction devices, this study is designed. Based on cohesion theory proposed by Halliday and Hassan (1976), the study is aimed to analyze the occurences and frequencies of conjunction devices in the three most famous novels of Pakistani writer MohsinHamid . For this purpose a parallel corpus consisting of three books of Mohsin Hamid was established. The results exposed that all of three books share more similarities in the usage of these devices of conjunctions. It also shows that additive conjunction “and” is vigorously utilized in all of three books. The bulk of conjunction devices are used for clarity and logicality. The study not only concentrates on the occurrence of conjunction devices but also focuses on the use and importance of conjunction devices for comprehensive writings moreover clarify how conjunctions link the components in a unified, actual and compound writing.

Abstract: Children are supposed to grow in a family setting where both mother and father take their respective roles in the upbringing of the child. In recent years there has been a sudden rise in the phenomenon of single parent families. Single parent families face challenges in properly raising their children. This research sought to find out the challenges encountered by single parents in the learning the learning and development of their infant children. The research employed mixed methodologies. It used questionnaires, observation checklist and document analysis as research instruments. The sample of research participants consisted of 30 school teachers, 18 school heads and 20 parents and 20 children in grade 1 and 2. The data is presented in the form of tables and excerpts. The study found out that single parents faced challenges in paying fees for their children, supplying their children with adequate stationery, monitoring the school attendance of their children and providing their children with emotional support. The exercise books of the children were in a bad state. The academic performance of the children was poor. The single parents faced challenges in supervising their children’s home assignments and their behaviour. The study recommends that the schools organise support groups for single parents so that they share information on how to improve their situation. The study also recommends that the government legislation and policies should assist low income single parents in their parenting problems. There is need for schools to set up guidance and counselling programmes to assist children from single parents and their children so that they are able to cope with challenges they face and are able to compete with children from intact families.

Abstract: The road detection technique and navigation of vehicle is challenging in different road scenarios in the real urban environment, particularly only when perceptions sensors and lasers were used without position information. Several methods have been used to derive this concept in real time application where illumination of light is invariant. These methods present a novel real-time optimal drivable region and this methods are robust to shadows and lighting variations. Their system uses a multisensory scheme to cover the most drivable area in front of the vehicle. A colour based tracking system is used to get the optimal region on an unmarked road. This methods hold true in different environments and weather conditions. Using a stereophonic vision system of 3D parameters they propose a fast road detections from colour images. It is simple and can be applied on real time scenario. They propose system successfully which handles both structured and unstructured roads. They get better understanding of this concept to produce a result of better understanding following numeroustests.

Abstract: The study of Kashmiri Language and its culture has remained the topic of research and interest for a very long time. It has been extensively studied by the foreign writers, authors, scholars, and has equally remained an interest of national and local intelligentsia. Although a lot of research has been carried out on different aspects of Kashmiri culture, from linguistic points of view but how to save this language, has been neglected so far. It was in this back drop, that the idea to carry out the present study was conceived. The objective of the present study is to analyze the impact of other languages like Sanskrit, Persian, Urdu and English on Kashmiri language. An attempt is made to throw light on different dimensions of cultural lexicon of Kashmiri Language and study the changes which it has undergone in the past. These influences came through the contact and borrowing. This paper also highlights the role of media, both electronic and print media in saving this native language. In this study some constructive remedial measures are provided to save Kashmiri language.

Abstract: From olden days we are using non renewable sources of energy in excess amount for our needs. As minerals like coal etc are exhausting, we have to depend on the renewable sources of energy like solar, wind, etc. Agricultural sector is backbone of Indian economy as population increases demand of water and food also increases. For smaller applications it is better to use renewable energy. Hence forth solar energy is choosed in order to develop agricultural system. It has been found that PV system is the best solution for remote agricultural system and for needs such as water pumping for crops. It presents the details of a solar-powered automated irrigation system that dispenses the exact amount of water required depending on the soil moisture, hence minimizing the waste of water. A network of sensor nodes is used to collect the humidity and temperature of the soil which is transmitted to a remote station.

Abstract: Many a times the warning sign on the road sides becomes difficult to watch for the drivers and the driver may sometimes miss the warning notes. These warning notes may be speed breakers ahead or narrow bridges or even accident zones etc. This becomes tedious during rainy seasons and at nights. Sometimes the boards may be so dirty and the driver may not read anything and even if he tries to read it with a wide eye there is a chance for the drive to lose concentration on the road.

Abstract: This article is an attempt to study the impact of dynamic pricing on the behaviour of consumers. Today, dynamic pricing is a common pricing strategy used in several industries such as hospitality, travel, entertainment, e-commerce, retail, electricity etc. Each industry adopts a slightly different approach in pricing the commodities considering their own needs and the demand for the products. This study specifically focuses on the impact of dynamic pricing used in the e-commerce sector on the consumer satisfaction levels and their prospective purchase decisions .t tests and descriptive statistical tools are used in the analysis part. The inferences from the study reveal that the consumers are dissatisfied with the proximity and magnitude of fluctuation in prices. The study also proves that there is no difference in the gender wise reaction towards dynamic pricing

Abstract: A comparison between six different types of linear expression of the widely usedpseudo-second-order kinetic model, for the adsorptionofmethylene blueon hydrochloric acid-treated rice huskwas made. The results showed that it was inappropriate to use the type 1 expression of pseudo-second-order equation to calculate the pseudo-second-order rate constantsand to predict qt for the studied system, even the type 1 expression had high R2 value. The modeling of kinetic results showed that the studied system (methylene blue/hydrochloric acid-treated rice husk) was best described by the type 6 expressionof the pseudo-second-order equation

Abstract: Programming teachers should have appropriate skills or competency to help them impart the knowledge of programming to their students. Further compounding the problem, the subject matter, being a computing course, is subject to continual changes that pose serious challenges to teachers in keeping abreast with new elements of learning contents. Put simply, teachers have to continually enhance their knowledge of the subject to ensure students will receive up-to-date information or knowledge pertaining to programming. Such a case puts a heavy strain on programming teachers, especially the less experienced ones. Against this backdrop, a needs analysis study was carried out to ascertain the requirements needed for the development of a competency model of teachers that can help provide the guidelines and knowledge pertaining to programming teachers. The study was based on a quantitative approach using a semi-structured survey, in which 45 programming teachers were randomly selected from various schools throughout Malaysia. A field survey was performed to yield the frequencies and percentages of the competency items of the research instrument. Overall, a reasonable number of elements of competency construct was determined that can help improve the development of such competency model.

Abstract: To achieve Rwanda’s dream to become a middle-income country by 2020, small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have e greater role to play. Rwanda is a land locked resource-limited and overpopulated country with around 10.500.000 people and a growth rate of 3.1% (NISR, 2012). As women constitute more than half of the population (52%), whatever country development plan should consider women involvement, otherwise it can be a kind of underutilization of resources. So, if women are not actively engaged in entrepreneurship, the job creation capacity of half the country’s population will be lost.

Abstract: Recent earthquakes in Myanmar have underlined the need for wide monitoring and safety assessment of cultural heritage structures. The study presents the seismic vulnerability evaluation and seismic strengthening of a specific monumental masonry structure: the main stupa of Kuthodaw Pagoda in Mandalay. The required experimental tests were conducted to determine the material properties of the structure. The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis was done to get ground motion data consistent with local seismic conditions. These seismic waves were used for the input of time history analyses. Comparisons of the expected seismic demand and the capacity of the structure were done to determine the weak parts of the structure under earthquakes. The fragility curves of the structure under consideration with and without external steel rings were developed. The results have shown that the use of external steel rings can significantly reduce seismic vulnerability and effectively strengthen the structure against earthquake.

Abstract: The assumption associated with teaching experience is that, increased teaching experience leads to increased teacher knowledge. To find out it this assumption is true for Junior High School integrated science teachers, and also determine whether not the effect of teaching experience on teacher knowledge varies in deprived and non-deprived areas, 57 Junior High School integrated science teachers from deprived and non-deprived areas were sampled from 83 Junior High School integrated science teachers. In the survey, the sampled teachers were asked to complete a 30 item test meant to assess their knowledge of Junior High School integrated science. The study found that teaching experience influences Junior High School integrated science teachers’ knowledge. Junior High School integrated science teachers’ knowledge showed a graphical variation with the number of years they have spent teaching. The effect of experience on Junior High School integrated science teachers’ knowledge in deprived and non-deprived areas was as diverse as the location themselves.

Abstract: The enactment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 no doubt becomes an opportunity as well as a major challenge for Indonesia, especially in increasing economic growth. However, such expectation seems to be difficult to be achieved as the socio-economic and political conditions in each ASEAN country are different. For this reason, this study aims at discussing three aspects. The first is to discuss the international trade laws that are relevant to be given attention toward the establishment of AEC. The second highlights policies that relate to the international trade. The third is to address the implication of AEC to economic growth in Indonesia.

Abstract: Migration is a simple word with relatively extensive meaning. Migration is a process which had started since time immemorial and will continue till lives exist in this world. Migrations possess very real dilemmas for the regions, countries and states.Sikkim, a tiny Himalayan state in the north eastern region of India, is a place where no record of any violence has been recorded as such till date. But the indigenous people of Sikkim are likely to find some kind of human security threat in near future if not now. Sikkimese of/in Sikkim is recognizedby the Sikkim Subject Certificate/Certificate of Identification given by the King of Sikkim then in 1961, provided with special privileges by the Government of India when became a part. Today, the SSC/COI holder is being outnumbered by the migrants from other parts of the country, while leaving the Sikkimese, minority in their own land.

Abstract: Peace has been a long cherished dream of humanity since times immemorial; but its relevance and scope in the modern world has increased manifolds. The term "peace" has innumerable connotations. The oldest understanding of peace is that synonymous to equilibrium and stability. Peaces being the greatest concern of man, all religions attach much importance to it. But Islam’s concept of peace needs to be studied in more detail as, in the present times; violence is mostly spoken of with reference to Islam. The primary texts of Islam; the Holy Quran and the Hadith of Prophet (PBUH); are replete with instructions and exhortations for peace.

Abstract: Migration, conventionally, being an important part of demography, is least studied as compared to fertility and mortality. Due to decreasing birth and death rate, migration (internal or international) has become a more important concern for demographers and other social scientists.Since probability models provide concise and clear representations of extensive data sets in a better way (Aryal, 2010),in recent years increased attention has been paid to the proposition and derivation of probability models for the movement of human population at micro level. The aim of the paper is to study the pattern of rural out migration with the help of a probability model. The data for the study have taken from two different places. The study shows that the logarithmic series distribution is a well approximation for the rural out migration in the given area.

Abstract: Dimension stone can also be defined as any rock that has been removed from its natural place of origin for ultimate use in construction or monuments where three dimensions of size together with shape and other elements of appearance, such as colour, grain texture and pattern and surface finish, are normal requirements; it is usually quarried for the purpose of obtaining blocks or slabs that meet specification of size and shape. The availability of Porphyritic Older Granites and Charnokite rocks within the study area in abundance stimulated the examination of the rock samples in various capacities to ascertain their suitability for the purpose of dimension stone quarry. The structural disposition of these rock types were observed, recorded and analysed which reveal a general orientation in the NE-SW directions concurring with the regional structural trend of the area as well as the mineral compositions. In addition, the structures were well spaced in such a way as to optimize block exploitation. Physical properties, such as strength, porosity estimation, aesthetic value test and oxidation tests were carried out on fresh samples. The results displayed satisfactory abilities to be quarried as dimension stones which could be cut, trimmed and polished for tiles and block production or even used without polish.

Abstract: Agriculture is very essential for human existence on this world. These days with growing population we need the productivity of the agriculture to be increased to meet the demands of larger population. In earlier days formers used natural methods of farming to increase the productivity, such as using the cow dung as a fertilizer. That resulted increase in the productivity enough to meet the requirements of the population. But later they started thinking of earning more profit by getting more production of crops. So, there came “Green Revolution”. After this period usage of deadly poisons as herbicides has increased to a drastic level.

Abstract: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, which is usually diagnosed in an advanced state for which there are little or no effective therapies. In this perspective, efforts have been made to identify specific subset of cells that has the capability of producing differentiated progeny of cells. There are three major types of cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the most important type of CSCs nowadays are chemoreristant and radioresistant CSCs that are resistant from both - chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Hence, these chemoresistant and radioresistant CSCs were identified, which may provide some novel therapeutic approach to treat pancreatic cancer. Increased numbers of CD44+CD24+ESA+ cells were needed to generate tumors when injected into the pancreas. Identified CD44+CD24+ESA+ pancreatic CSCs showed the stem cell properties i.e. self-renewal, the ability to produce differentiated progeny. Several signaling pathways are upregulated in the pancreatic CSCs. Sonic Hedgehog (SHh) signaling molecule expression was very high in CD44+CD24+ESA+ cells compared to other normal pancreatic epithelial cells. Cyclopamine, a steroidal alkaloid, which has both teratogenic and antitumor activities, inhibited Hh signaling thereby inhibited pancreatic cancer growth in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that this signaling pathway has an early and critical role in the development of pancreatic cancer. Inhibition of Hh signaling by cyclopamine indicates that in the near future cyclopamine can be used as a drug to show that it can show some promise in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract: The aim of this research article is to meet 2 objectives. One of the important aims of this research article is to provide information about the historical perspective of English in Sri Lanka. This article also aims to analyze some pedagogical issues and solutions in teaching English in Sri Lankan schools. Since the early 1950s, teaching ESL in Sri Lankan schools irrespective of socio-economic or regional facilities has been a major concern of successive governments of Sri Lanka. As the need of English speaking citizens is felt widely nowadays, the language policy of the Sri Lankan government which further emphasizes the adoption of the effective measures to enhance the quality of teaching still continues.English language teaching and learning styles and strategies are among the main factors that help determine how and how well our students learn a second language. Success of the learning/teaching process largely depends on a set of factors such as students’ motivation, appropriate selection of the teaching approaches, methods, tasks and materials that are mostly determined by students’ psychological characteristics such as learning style and type of intelligence.

Abstract: Dendrobium sonia-28 is a popular orchid hybrid for its flowering recurrence and dense inflorescences which currently facing serious production problems due fungal diseases. In the present study, Protocorm like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium sonia-28 were subjected to different doses of gamma irradiation (10-200 Gy) followed by inoculation with various concentrations of fusarium proliferatum culture filtrate (CF) (2.5-20%). The results from these measurements were used in establishing an artificial neural network model meant to predict the result of more samples while being treated as carrying out laboratory measurements would be time consuming. CF and gamma irradiation were model inputs, while output was result value. The prediction performances of various neural network modelswere evaluated using statistical performance indices such as root of the mean squared error (RMSE), the mean squared error(MSE), and the multiple coefficient of determination (R2). The results show that the multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network model with different nodes in the hidden layer was desirable for predicting results. Artificial Neural Networks analysis indicated that survival and growth rates of treated PLBs were dependent to treatment doses. Biochemical results revealed that the chlorophyll and total soluble protein decreased notably as the irradiation and inoculation concentration increases.

Abstract: Lifelong compliance to gluten free diet is a prerequisite for maintaining well-being of children with celiac disease. It becomes very difficult to restrict wheat based food items from the North Indian diets predisposing children to micronutrient and micronutrient deficiencies and may impair physical and cognitive growth of these children. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 40 children (5-12 years) already diagnosed with celiac disease and were following gluten free diet from last three months. The data was collected from a health facility at Gurugram, Haryana catering to children residing in nearby villages. Anthropometric measurements and 24-hour recall was used to assess nutritional status of the children. Feeding behavior was recorded on a pretested questionnaire. One-fifth of the children were underweight, one-fourth were stunted and all but one had normal BMI [1]. The intakes of all food groups were inadequate by the children as compared with balanced diet [2]. Comparison with the RDA [2] indicated that the intake of all nutrients expect protein, fat and calcium were inadequate. Regular diet counseling would help in alleviating symptoms, improvement in nutritional status and quality of life of children with celiac disease.

Abstract: Individual perception of high Work life balance (WLB) and sense of Organisational Commitment during Mid-life among executives has become imperative for any organization in order to ensure enhanced performance efficiency, particularly in this era of highly competitive business environment. It is no wonder that the mid-life has attracted numerous contributions from researchers and HR practitioners that attempt to investigate on various factors influencing mid-life, their interrelationship and possible outcomes of different stages of mid-life prevailing among executives. This paper is an attempt to find out the relationship between Mid-Life and Organisational Commitment among female executives of a public sector bank. Purposive and simple random sampling methods were employed to recruit one hundred working executives as participants for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data, which was analyzed using descriptive and Pearson Correlation statistics. The findings indicated a statistically significant negative relationship between respondent’s Organisational Commitment and mid-life. The findings reinforce the need for healthcare and other professionals, such as social workers to deepen their understanding of the effects of multiple roles on the Organisational Commitment of women who combine employment with parenthood and marriage.

Abstract: In this paper, quadratic trigonometric Bezier´ curve with two shape parameters, with a tension parameter, are presented. The new basis functions share the properties with Bernstein basis functions, so the generated curves inherit many properties of traditional Bezier´ curves. The presence of shape parameters provides a local control on the shape of the curve which enables the designer to control the curve more than the ordinary Bezier´ curve. These type of functions are useful for constructing trigonometric Bezier curves and surfaces, they can be applied to construct continuous shape preserving interpolation spline curves with shape parameters. To better visualize objects and graphics, a tension parameter is included. In this work we constructed the Trigonometric Bezier curves followed by a construction of the shape preserving interpolation spline curves with local shape parameters and a tension parameter.

Abstract: Diabetes is a disease which is affecting many people now-a-days. Most of research is happening in this area. In this paper, we proposed a model to solve the problems in existing system in applying data mining techniques namely clustering and classifications which are applied to diagnose the type of diabetes and its severity level for every patient from the data collected. This paper tries to diagnose diabetes based on the 650 patient’s data with which we analyzed and identified severity of the diabetes. As part of procedure Simple k-means algorithm is used for clustering the entire dataset into 3 clusters i.e., cluster-0 - for gestational diabetes, cluster-1 for type-1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes), cluster-2 for type-2 diabetes. This clustered dataset was given as input to the classification model which further classifies each patient’s risk levels of diabetes as mild, moderate and severe. Further, performance analysis of different algorithms has been done on this data to diagnose diabetes. The achieved results show the performance of each classification algorithm.

Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a remote controlled vertically adjustable motorized white board for the purpose of teaching. The objective is to have a white marker board that can be adjusted to various height so as to aid maximum use of the board by different teachers of varying heights and to have maximum exposure of what is written on the board to a class with same level seat arrangement. Pro-engineering was used for the CAD drawing of the board and Proteus was used to simulate the circuit designed. Furthermore, this design employs the use of a solid white board, motorized jack, rollers and remote control to aid the vertical adjustment of the height of the Whiteboard. The wood used were seasoned and then cut into the various sizes, component by component. These components were assembled and integrated with the electric jack. Using Kiel vision (software for programming) the code for the remote and the receiver were written and tested. The circuit was then assembled on vero board, using Topwin programmer, the circuit was programmed. After the fabrication, unlike the mechanical solid white board which involves much human effort to push the board through a grooved frame and manually locking it with a bolt by the side for the comfort of the teacher, the Remote control Whiteboard has overcome the manual method of adjustment and aid maximum view in a classroom with same level seat arrangement.

Abstract: A high power laser propagating through ion implanted semiconductor plasma undergoes stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) arises due to nonlinear current density and acousto-optical strain of the medium in third-order optical polarization. We have considered that the negatively charged colloidal grains (CGs) are embedded in semiconductor plasma by means of ion implantation. By considering net negative charge of the CGs, we present an analytical study of the effects of CGs on threshold intensity, effective susceptibility and Brillouin gain characteristics. It is found that as the charge on the CGs builds up, the Brillouin gain and threshold are significantly modifies the characteristics for the onset of SBS processes.

Abstract: MUAC is used as an indicator for assessing acute undernutrition among children below five years of age. WHO child growth standards (2006) have given age related z-scores for both boys and girls for MUAC for identification of acute undernutrition among children below five years. A total of 4737 observations for MUAC had been made on 2305 children below 6 years of age living in an urban slum of Delhi in this cross-linked study. MUAC was measured using fibreglass tape sensitive to the nearest mm using standard technique. MUAC z-scores (MUACZ) were computed using WHO child growth standards and nutritional status was assessed. Median MUACZ for both boys and girls was much lower than median value of MUAC for boys and girls in WHO Child Growth Standards (2006). There was no significant difference in mean values of MUAC between the boys and girls upto 4 years of age. It was observed that 53.9% of the children (age-combined) were undernourished (below -2SD MUACZ), of which 11.2 % had severe acute malnutrition (below -3 SD MUACZ). The single cut-off point for MUAC <12.5 cm underestimated the prevalence of undernutrition was 32.6% among children in the study. This clearly indicated that MUAC-for-age using WHO Child Growth Standards would help in identifying the burden of acute undernutrition among underprivileged children.
