Abstract:
Neck pain has become a common epidemiological problem. One major reason for the neck pain is a sedentary way of life, along with using a personal computer in all daily activities.
Work place and work duration have not been properly modified to the personal physical conditions of these employees. Ergonomics is the application of scientific information concerning humans to the design of objects. Ergonomic intervention results in enhancement of working posture and a decline in incidence of musculoskeletal symptoms. The human body is designed to move and health depends on it.

Abstract:
The understanding of the genetic resource status of an economic and medicinal crop such as tea (Camellia simensis) is a very relevant prerequisite for its improvement and advancing its research attention. This review summarises the available information on tea breeding in Nigeria. Tea cultivation in Nigeria contributes significantly to the economic development of the tea growing communities especially women who are about 75% in the tea industry. The available information showed that 2045 tonnes, 2914 tonnes made tea were produced in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The major breeding achievement was the adaptability of three tea clones to the lowland regions in Nigeria, standardization of pluck quality, the grouping of tea clones into three distinct groups for further hybridization studies. Induction of callus from tea stem cuttings, shoot apices and flower buds were not left out. Germplasm collection, introduction, hybridization and introduction of biotechnology techniques become urgent steps for tea improvement in Nigeria.

Abstract:
In recent years, social media has become one of the most important factors accompanying the development of the Iraqi society. The media industry has experienced tremendous growth and development over the last ten years in Iraq. During Saddam Hussein’s administration, the Iraqi media was restricted and lacked the freedom of speech. After the 2003 war, the media became more liberal and somewhat less restricted. However, the problem is that it still lacks the well-organized strategic plans to get to the hearts of the Iraqi citizens and to make them believe in all what they say either online or on T.V. This study attempts to answer the following research question: what is the state of the Iraqi media during and post Saddam Hussein’s era? The aim of this research is to identify the state of the media industry in Iraq during and post Saddam Hussein’s era. To examine the research problem, the researchers investigated the state of social media in Iraq and shared the participant’s lived experience of the use of media as a means of communication while he was in Iraq. To collect the data, the researchers interviewed an Iraqi man who moved to the U.S. in 2005. The results indicate that the social media in Iraq is more powerful and effective now than it was before 2003 and the number of Internet and social media male and female users increased in the last ten years.

Abstract:
The paper tried to explore the various studies on the nexus between the productivity growth and the employment through VAR model of Dritsakis(2012) and Blanchand, Solow and Wilson(1995) model and found cointegration and causality but the association went to either direction. In the short run, the nexus was seen negative but not in all countries and in the long run , the association was found both positive and negative in the world economies like Europe, America ,Africa and in Asia. No general conclusion could not be drawn on the nexus because state of technology, employees benefit, wage structure, hours of labour vary from country to country whether it was in USA,France,UK ,India or in EU. Even, the association is different from sectors to sectors. Above all, if the scale of measurement of labour productivity differs, the association between labour productivity and employment may also differ.

Abstract:
Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the major challenges in achievement of the Millennium Development Goals particularly in low and middle-income countries, the incidence in India being reported to be around 28 percent. The risk of a poor outcome in the LBW infants is increased in a background of poor nutrition, both of the mother and the infant. Recent estimates suggest that stunting, wasting, and intrauterine growth restriction are responsible for 2.2 million deaths and 21% of disability-adjusted life years lost among children younger than 5 years [1]. The LBW infant is faced with rapid rate of anabolic processes and brain growth but has poor reserves. Thus the infant’s need for optimal nutrition and special care is critical. Deficient nutrition and improper care lead to fatal outcome. LBW is universally the single most important determinant of the chance of newborn to survive and experience healthy growth and development. LBW as a health indicator is very sensitive to socio-economic factors, in particular to adverse conditions such as hunger, draught, infections and physical stress which specifically affect the poorest segment of population. Determinants of LBW need to be studied in order to identify potentially modifiable risk factors. This brief review explores the available epidemiologic data to investigate the questions of what are the causes and consequences of LBW.

Abstract:
This paper examines the role that Greek Metropolitan Iakovos played in Albanian-Greek relations from the end of World War I to the establishment of a national Autocephalous Orthodox Albanian Church in 1922. As a result of the political and social structure that was in place during the Ottoman Empire, religion played a significant role in post-Ottoman politics. This was amplified in countries like Albania, where no national religious institutions existed. At the end of World War I, Greece used its influence towards the Patriarchate of Constantinople to increase its opportunity to annex the terra irredenta of Korçë and Gjirokastër, while Albania tried and managed to nationalize religious communities that existed in its territory.

Abstract:
Variations in root and root canal is always a challenge and failure to recognize these variations can result in unsuccessful endodontic treatment. Mandibular molars can sometimes present a variation called radix entomolaris, wherein the tooth has an extra root attached to its lingual aspect. This additional root may complicate the endodontic management of the tooth if it is misdiagnosed or maltreated. The case reports in the present article focus on the radiographic identification and endodontic management of Radix Entomolaris in permanent mandibular first molars.

Abstract:
A spanning tree of a connected graph is a sub graph that is a tree and connects all the verticestogether. A single graph can have many different spanning trees. We can also assign a weight to each edge, which is a number representing how unfavorable it is, and use this to assign a weight to a spanning tree by computing the sum of the weights of the edges in that spanning tree. A minimum spanning tree (MST) or minimum weight spanning tree is then a spanning tree with weight less than or equal to the weight of every other spanning tree. More generally, any undirected graph (not necessarily connected) has a minimum spanning forest, which is a union of minimum spanning trees for its components. Our objective is to find minimum cost (weight) spanning tree using the algorithm which is based on the weight matrix of weighted graph.

Abstract:
In patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix treated by radiation, 9-27% may develop distant metastasis. Common sites of distant metastasis are lungs, bones and para-aortic lymph nodes. Metastasis to the colon is very rare. We report a case of a 62 year old lady who was treated by Wertheim hysterectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy for stage III carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Three years later, she developed a metastatic growth in the transverse colon which was resected. It is important to differentiate squamous cell carcinoma metastasizing to the colon from a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the colon as latter has a better prognosis. Palliative resection of the colonic metastasis prevent further dissemination.

Abstract:
The rationale for HSR investment is not different to any other public investment decision. Public funds should be allocated to this mode of transport if its net expected social benefit is higher than in the next best alternative. The exam of data on costs and demand shows that the case for investing in HSR is strongly dependent on the existing volume of traffic where the new lines are built, the expected time savings and generated traffic and the average willingness to pay of potential users, the release of capacity in congested roads, airports or conventional rail lines and the net reduction of external effects.

Abstract:
Learning disabilities are problems that affect the brains’ ability to receive, process, analyze, or store information. These problems can make it difficult for a student to learn as quickly as someone who isn’t affected by learning disabilities. There are many kinds of learning disabilities. Most students affected by learning disabilities have more than one kind. Certain kinds of learning disabilities can interfere with a person’s ability to concentrate or focus and can cause someone’s mind to wander too much. Other learning disabilities can make it difficult for a student to read, write, spell, or solve math problems. This paper focuses on difficulties, huntresses and lists faced by LD students in “English language learning and tries to solve the problems faced by LD students in schools with special reference to Kalyan School, Trivandrum.

Abstract:
The heart rhythm is directly related to the electrical activity of the heart. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is generally used for obtaining information about the heart rhythm. In this paper, a method for calculating heart rhythm variation using the Phonocardiogram (PCG) and a method for finding characteristics of the that signal is described. The average heart rate is calculated from the Shannon energy signal and characteristics are found using mean, variance and autocorrelation. The analysis window for calculating the instantaneous heart rate is repeated for entire signal for every one second shift. It is shown that even for normal persons there is significant variation in the heart rate. Heart rate variation shows bi-modal distribution for an abnormal case.

Food security is significant issue for development programming given this is a basic need that impacts survival, growth and development of human being.. As 49% of the households in Nepal are food insecure (National Demographic and Health Survey: NDSH, 2011), it is very important to explore how households in the rural communities are coping with food insecurity situation and discuss about the way out. Disasters, climate change effects on production, exploitative economic systems, growing distraction of youth from agriculture are some significant issues that are likely to intensify the risks for food security in future. Food insecurity further puts households and communities vulnerable to disasters and weakens their capacity to restore to the normal life.

The explanation of Time in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity¹ is different from the explanation of Time in Classical Mechanics. In Relativity¹, Time is considered as fourth dimension. But, I would argue against Einstein’s concept of Time as I do not see Time as a separate dimension. In this paper, I would explain Time Dilation and details of when and why it happens.

Abstract:
A chasm exists between the desktop and mobile worlds in terms of hardware performance, graphics capabilities and input devices. Some kinds of software, such as 3D graphics or advanced word-processing tools, are still out of reach for handheld devices. So, although redesigning a desktop application for mobile environments is often possible, mobile devices’ limitations discourage using such software in nomadic scenarios. One type of solution to this problem employs well-known remote-computing techniques in which a remote server executes specific application and sends only the resulting graphics representations to the client devices a sequence of still images or a video stream.1, 2 In most cases, these techniques require shrinking the server’s video output (including the application interface) to fit mobile displays’ low resolution and wireless-network bandwidth.

Abstract:
This preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the microbiological quality of paediatric oral liquid drug formulations during consumption. Paracetamol, Salbutamol, Cephalexin, Amoxicillin and Lactulose are few oral liquid medicines prescribed in Sri Lanka. These oral liquid medicines are at a greater risk of microbial contamination during consumption. This can lead to co-infection in paediatric patients. Therefore, it is important to evaluate microbial quality of oral liquid medicines during consumption. In methodology, organoleptic examination, pH determination and assessment of microbiological quality of two bottles from each five commercially available samples were done. Selective media were employed for quantification and isolation of the microbial contaminants.

Abstract:
In the world of photography, surveillance of larger areas and military operations, the immediate machines that accommodate the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) category are the autonomous aeroplane and helicopter. Helicopters have clear advantages over the aeroplanes. They can be able to hover and land/take off in limited spaces. The quad rotor is a helicopter that has four rotors which are fixed to a certain spin axis. The different spinning directions of the motors balance the torques on their associated axes, therefore eliminating the need for a tail rotor that a normal helicopter requires. As long as all four rotors rotate at the same speed, the quad rotor helicopter essentially hovers, this proving to be a less complex in mechanical structure. Researches are being done to improve the reliability and decrease the size of such vehicles. So, they can be used in Search and Rescue operations, surveillance, inspection, aerial photography and aerial mapping.

Abstract:
The superior margin of the scapula is thin and sharp and is the shortest of the three. It is interrupted by the scapular notch, which lies very close to the root of the coracoid process. This notch is bridged by the superior transverse scapular ligament, thus converting it into a foramen. The shape of the suprascapular notch is one of the important predisposing factor for the suprascapular nerve entrapment. The present study was done by observing 112 human dried scapulae. Type IV was the most common type with 40 (35.71 %) scapulae, whereas type V was the least observed type with just two (1.79 %) scapulae. The reason for the different shape of suprascapular notch can be probably explained from the point of ossification of corocoid process and other bony parts in and around the suprascapular notch. Knowledge of suprascapular notch variations may be essential for surgeons performing SN decompression, especially by means of endoscopic techniques.

Abstract:
The efficiency of Parthenium hysterophorus L., as potential feed stock was investigated by using different pretreatment methods. P.hysterophorus L., being declared invasive weed, is an obnoxious flowering plant which is a big challenge to all attempts of control. Although several eradication measures have been undertaken in this regard for many years, not a single method is yet an option for the total eradication of Parthenium.Thus, the status of Parthenium management is visualized with respect to large-scale utilization. Therefore, in the present work, Parthenium is chosen to comparatively analyze its efficiency as a potential feed stock. Crop biomass mainly consists of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, which act as limiting factor for being used as a potential feed stock. Thus, conversion of hemicelluloses present in the lignocellulosic biomass into xylose is one of the major steps in preparing the Parthenium as a potential feed stock.

Abstract:
In this paper a new scheme is proposed for progressive image transmission over coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system with Low Density Parity Check Coding (LDPC). Trigonometric transforms are used in this scheme for improving the performance of the OFDM systems and reducing the PeakTo- Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of OFDM signal. It improves the error resilience ability and transmission efficiency for progressive image transmission over Additive White Gaussian Noise (A WGN) channel. The Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm is used for source coding of the images to be transmitted. In the proposed scheme the transmit data sequence of the OFDM signal after Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (lFFT) is grouped into in-phase and in-quadrature components, then each component is transformed using either the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) or the Discrete Sine Transform (DST). The simulation results show that adding the DST to the system improves the visual quality of reconstructed images and reduces the PAPR of OFDM signal more than the DCT.

Abstract:
The spread of World Englishes has generated a need for maximizing intelligibility in speech discourse. Yet in current pedagogy teaching pronunciation is a much neglected area. In the Sri Lankan context deviations from Standard Sri Lankan English pronunciation, especially in segmental phonology, results in impairing intelligibility even amongst the local interlocutors. Utilizing the limited technology available this study constructs a short term Action Plan based on the tenets of cooperative and collaborative learning to address two selected pronunciation deviations: the nondifferentiation between /ʃ/ and /s/ and confusion of /p/ and /f/ in 20 undergraduates users of learner English. The Action Plan informs practitioners of Teaching English as a Second Language on implementing short courses which benefit learners who deviate from inner circle pronunciation.

Abstract:
The study analyses how over the years the status of women are changing where state as well as non state actors are playing significant role in empowering the role of women. Recent changes like The Sikkim Panchayat (Amendment) Bill, 2011 giving 50% reservation for women in Panchayat (grass root level) and initiating schemes like Chief Minister Rural Housing Mission (CMRHM) where house had been named after the women of the family. Success stories of non state actors in the form of Self Help Group like Nayuma Women Cooperative Society gives a positive trend in women empowerment. It critically examines the changes and challenges experienced by women community. An attempt has been made for suggestion and recommendation in empowering women of rural and urban areas giving them a platform of political and economical self reliance and their major say in decision making process bringing change in traditional ideas and strengthening the social capital (building trust and cooperation).

Abstract:
This paper presents the design of different filtering techniques for the Neuro-Biomedical signals in single electrode EEG collected Brainstem Speech Evoked Potentials data of Audiology for the Signal-to-Noise Ratio performance evaluations. We have designed Yule-Walk multiband filter, Cascaded Yule-Walk-Comb-Peak filter; conventional Wavelet transform filters of Daubechies, Symlet, Coiflet Wavelets for these Auditory Brainstem Responses. In addition we have designed a Translation-Invariant (TI) Wavelet estimation filtering technique which is highly useful. In our research the idea of Cascaded Yule-Walk-Comb-Peak filter is giving us a considerable improvement in SNR over Yule-Walk filter; and the conventional wavelets are performing far better that too specifically Daubechies wavelets are performing better than all.

Abstract:
Inventory management is used to make decisions regarding the appropriate level of inventory. In practice, all inventories cannot be controlled with equal attention. In this paper the inventory level is decided based on part demand, cost, and supplier location, Share of business and status of receipt. Using ABC analysis the various parts are classified into A, B and C based on its cost. A suitable bin with its rack has to be selected based on the size of the part. Stores layout is designed based on the ABC classification, Bin selection and rack design with the available space constraint. The existing kanban system has to be modified into supplier e-kanban system by which the speed of information sharing between suppliers will be improved.

Abstract:
The present paper attempts at presenting the individual's contest that is futile because ignorance misleads him from the path. The research paper aims at highlighting the element of crisis mankind undergoes in Mahfouz's short story, "Zaabalawi". In this paper, I will examine whether there are any related points of similarities and dissimilarities between Mahfouz's short story "Zaabalawi" and Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. What attracts our attention to discuss this issue is the word "existential" that is the key word in the title of this paper. A few studies have been carried on Mahfouz's affinity with other writers as Kafka, Conrad and George Eliot. A striking kind of such studies is Al-Sarayrah's study of the affinity between William Faulkner, Albert Camus and Naguib Mahfouz.

Abstract:
Reproductive health and behaviour of adolescents is an increasingly important component for the healthy nation. Adolescence, the second decade of life is a period when young people acquire new capacities for progress with physical growth, physiological and psychological change, the development of secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive maturation. Young people worldwide, however, face social, economic and health challenges that were unimaginable. Adolescence is, therefore, considered as a phase rather than a fixed age group; with physical, psychological, social and cultural dimensions. Programmes that can provide information, ensure access to services, and develop life skills are crucial to the future of this population. This paper will explore the existing practices or information on sexual and reproductive behaviour among adolescent girls’ of Meitei-Pangals in Imphal East, Manipur; in relation with the knowledge and attitudes, socio-economic and cultural factors operating within, as well as their perception and awareness level pertaining to the health care services.

Abstract:
During the invent of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile phones, no one could ever imagine a day would arise,when more than a billion mobile phones would be manufactured and used worldwide over a short span of time. Each mobilephone is required to have a unique serial number burned into its chips in order to prevent fraud. Without a unique number, the phone can't be sold. So initially in order to identify phones on a network, engineers developed a 32-bit code called the Electronic Serial Number (ESN). This code was used for billing and to make sure the right call went to the right phone. But 32 bits only allowed 4 billion unique numbers; engineers probably didn't forecasted ESN to be a long-term solution.

Abstract:
In India, farmers are blindly using untreated industrial waste water for crops and vegetable production especially in peri-urban areas. Nowadays, increasing attention has focused on heavy metal concentrations of vegetables all over the world. Heavy metals have positive and negative roles in human life. Intake of vegetables is an important path of heavy metal toxicity to human being. The use of industrial waste water for irrigation exposes humans at various health risks. This is because heavy metals are not easily biodegradable and consequently can be accumulated in human vital organs. This situation cause varying degree of illness based on acute and chronic exposures. The present study was conducted to assess the risk to human health by heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Mn and Cr) through the intake of locally grown vegetables in Rewa city (M.P.) India, where, soils contaminated with heavy metals were mainly due to waste water irrigation from Cement Plants (Bela and Naubasta) and may be possible atmospheric deposition.

Abstract:
The research applied analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model to determine relative weights for ranking the disposal of solid wastes products in Abuja metropolitan. Three (3) settlement patterns, each having thirteen (13) wastes collection centres were identified. Presently, the disposal of solid wastes at these settlement patterns and their respective collection centres does not have proper schedules. It was found out that this lack of organised plan resulted in some centers, within a settlement pattern, having huge piles of solid wastes unattended to while others were disposed promptly. This unplanned schedule necessitated the application of AHP model to determine the relative weights that ranked the settlement patterns and the collection centres for proper schedule of disposal of the solid wastes.

Abstract:
This paper presents the generation of optical carrier suppressed signal for RoF system. RoF refers to an analog transmission over fiber technology where light is modulated by radio frequency (RF) signal and transmitted over an optical fiber link to wireless access. Both optical carrier suppression and signal modulation are made by using a Dual-Drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM). Suppressed carrier modulation is achieved by biasing at the null point of DD-MZM. Optical carrier suppression improves the performance of RoF system such as link gain and noise figure (NF).In this research, a single RF at 2100 MHz having data rate of a 1 Gbps modulates the 1550.12 nm optical carrier in the DD-MZM. In this paper, the carrier suppression and performances of RoF system are investigated by theory and simulation. The various values of optical carrier suppression ratio can be obtained by adjusting the extinction ratio of the DD-MZM. The transmission performance of the proposed system is verified by the simulation results.

Abstract:
Tobacco related oral cancer occurs due to accumulation of genetic alterations induced by the genotoxins present in betel quid. The objective of the study was evaluate the cytogenetic damage in the peripheral blood of oral cancer patients and control subjects by anaysing the structural aberrations (STAs) .The frequency of STAs was analyzed in 60 histopathologically confirmed oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. STAs showed a significant P value between the Controls, OPMDs & OSCC cases through ANOVA. Significant P value through t-test was also observed between the pairs of group namely Controls Vs OPMDs cases, Control Vs OSCC cases and OPMDs Vs OSCC cases. STAs showed a significant P value in the patients when compared with the controls and also showed an increased chromosomal alteration in OPMDs and further increased in OSCC thus correlating well with the clinical stages of the disease. CSAs were more than CTAs in the cases with dicentrics being more prevalent. The elevated STAs in the study group could be attributed to the fact they belong to high risk population for oral cancer. A predictor STAs identified in the present study may be used in future for early diagnosis and subsequent disease management of the tobacco related oral cancer patients.

Abstract:
The frontal sinuses are a part of paranasal sinuses and they are located in the frontal bone above each orbits. The structure of frontal sinus can be variable from person to person and its sizes might be different in different populations. 50 macerated skulls(Males=28, Females=22) of age group 40-60 yrs are cleaned and subjected to 3D axial multislider CT scan. Axial and coronal images of slice thickness of 4mm were obtained. Frontal sinus ( symmetry and lobulations) were observed and classified. Frontal sinus symmetry was observed in 34 (68%) individuals, asymmetry in 15 (30%) individuals and frontal sinus was absent in 1(2%). The features of frontal sinus morphology make it most convenient part of the skeleton for forensic identification. Variations seen in the anatomy of frontal sinus will help otolaryngologists during surgical procedures involving frontal sinus and skull base.

Abstract:
If productivity before motivation proves elusive, then it is wasteful to ensure consistent preaching of same. The best rather than discretionary approach is to apply the complete reversal of this working guideline. Efforts need to be channelled to motivating teachers to measure up to the required standard of performance. But it would be untenable of the teachers concerned did not require any more motivation. This necessitated the need to explore the level to which teachers, notably accounting teachers, were motivated to stay committed to duty. The motivational elements used in the study were salary, administrative practices, and the study leave policy. In all, 120 accounting teachers from senior high schools in the Central Region participated in the vignette administration. The study revealed that the senior high school accounting teachers were not motivated by their level of salary.

Abstract:
Forty four genotypes of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill] including indigenous germplasm of North East India were studied to evaluate genetic variation for seed yield and Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV) resistance. All traits under study viz, Plant height (PH), Internodal length(IL), No. of trifoliate leaves plant-1 (TL), Pods plant-1 (PP), Seeds plant-1 (SP), 100-seed weight (SW), Pod weight (PW), Seed yield plant-1 (SY), Days to 50% flowering (DF) and Days to maturity (DM) exhibited wide variation among the genotypes. 100-seed weight exhibited highest coefficient of variance at both genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic level (PCV) followed by seed yield plant-1 and seeds plant-1 indicating wide variation among the genotypes under study. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed in 100-seed weight, seeds plant-1, seed yield plant-1, plant height and pod weight plant-1 indicating their potential to be selected for the effectiveness of further improvement. Character association studies revealed significant and positive genetic correlation of seed yield plant-1 with pod weight plant-1 and 100-Seed weight. Screening for Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance revealed one highly susceptible variety viz. JS 335 and two highly resistant varieties viz.DS 9712 and DS9814.

Abstract:
The growing concerns for environmental sustainability, economic and energy security had made it obligatory to source energy alternatives that harmonize environmental friendliness with biodegradability, renewability, and less reliance on petroleum products dependence. One of such energy sources is called biodiesel. Wide range of substrate; vegetable oils e.g. palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, rapeseed oil, micro algal oils, animal fats, waste products of vegetable oil refinery, used frying/cooking oils was used in its production. To produce biodiesel with these substrates conventionally is complex, as the method is faced with limitations in the downstream processing costs, byproducts recovery and environmental issues. Enzymatic method, involving enzymes particularly lipases in a process of alcoholysis with waste cooking oil emerged to be efficient in curtailing the problems.

Abstract:
The mobile nodes in a network which can communicate with each other through a radio wave without any specific infrastructure is widely known as Mobile Ad-hoc Network(MANET). MANET has a number of routing protocols. The popular routing protocols so far are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Temporally-ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) routing protocol. Among them the AODV routing protocol meets efficiently with the ad-hoc network specification. For last few years routing protocols of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) were simulated as a function of mobility, number of nodes, and size of the network but not as a function of route maintenance parameters such as Active Route Timeout (ART) and Delete Period Constant (DPC=n) with moving source-destination (node) pairs in network as well.

Abstract:
Cloud computing provides massive computation power and storage capacity which enable users to deploy computation and data-intensive applications without infrastructure investment. Along the processing of such applications, a large volume of intermediate data sets will be generated, and often stored to save the cost of re computing them. However, preserving the privacy of intermediate data sets becomes a challenging problem because adversaries may recover privacy-sensitive information by analyzing multiple intermediate data sets. Encrypting ALL data sets in cloud is widely adopted in existing approaches to address this challenge. But we argue that encrypting all intermediate data sets are neither efficient nor cost-effective because it is very time consuming and costly for data-intensive applications to en/decrypt data sets frequently while performing any operation on them.

Abstract:
The functioning of calcium lignosulfonate (CLS) as the potential inhibitor in the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 medium has been studied. The various parameters in connection with the corrosion behaviour of the metal and the inhibitive action of CLS were obtained by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarisation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) methods. The effect of temperature on the mild steel surface has been reported. The results of the present investigation show that CLS acts as a good inhibitor and it is of mixed type. The mode of action is by the process of adsorption at anodic and cathodic sites. The scanning electron microscopic studies gives the picture of surface morphology of mild steel in the presence and absence of inhibitor.

Abstract:
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have gained considerable interest in expanding IEEE 802.11 networks to large-scale enterprise and community scenarios, primarily because of its capability of providing wide-band network access to a significant number of users. However, the mesh nodes are typically limited in resources such as bandwidth, computation power and memory. Capacity limitation is one of the fundamental issues in wireless networks. Excess capacity(EC) is the unused capacity. Here in this paper EC Management techniques are used to improve network performance. In this approach a proactive provisioning algorithm is used which is checking in advance whether network capacity is full or not, whether new more connections can be established or not and is freeing up the excess capacity in advance. This approach reduces the End-to-End delay, packet lost ratio and improves the other network performance metrics like packet delivery ratio, throughput and capacity utilization. These process is performed by reserving capacity and freeing up the excess capacity respectively in advance.

Abstract:
Optical imaging in medical field is crucial for early detection of oral diseases, to carry out more effective minimally-invasive targeted-therapies and to restore diseased tissues functionally and aesthetically. Optical methods can be based on the properties of light scattering, absorption and fluorescence. In doing so, LEDs and classical light sources can be used. All of these methods have one basic principle in common; the optical spectrum of a tissue contains information about the biochemical composition and/or the structure of the tissue, which provide diagnostic information for tissue characterization. Among them, the most promising techniques to detect and classify different stages of caries are those based on the quantitative measurements of tooth auto fluorescence and diffuse reflectance.

Abstract:
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is highly accuracy-demanded application for car identification. This paper presents a new method of block-based ANPR system for recognition of Indian car license number plates. Since number plate guidelines are not strictly practiced in India and wide variations found on these plates in terms of font type, character size, screws/dots etc., it often becomes difficult to correctly identify the non-standard number plate characters. This proposed method works well with both standard and non-standard Indian number plate images taken under various illumination conditions. By using the block-based feature extraction process this method of recognition provides a high recognition rate of 98.2% and speed up the processing time of each character to 3.3ms when using a database of 3399 character images.

Abstract:
This paper presents the concept of using a polyethene film to address the shortcomings of the conventional solar pond which are low efficiency, short operation time among others. The thermal behavior of a solar pond with a polyethene has been analyzed and compared with that without a polyethene film. The experiments show that: the heat storage layer (LCZ) temperature rising rate was significantly higher than that of single layer porous media solar pond. The polyethene film of thickness 100µm was used. The polyethene film brings about the greenhouse effect where the solar energy that penetrates the film is trapped and improves the efficiency of the storage zone. Results show that the efficiency of a polyethene stabilized pond rises to about 69 % compared to the conventional solar pond with about 52 %.

Abstract:
A segmentation and graph-based video sequence matching method specifically, due to the good stability and discriminative ability of local features, we use SIFT descriptor for video content description. However, matching based on SIFT descriptor is computationally expensive for large number of points and the high dimension. Thus, to reduce the computational complexity, we first use the dual-threshold method to segment the videos into segments with homogeneous content and extract Keyframes from each segment. SIFT features are extracted from the Keyframes of the segments. Then, we propose an SVD-based method to match two video frames with SIFT point set descriptors. To obtain the video sequence matching result, we propose a graph-based method. It can convert the video sequence matching into finding the longest path in the frame matching-result graph with time constraint.

Abstract:
Antlions (Insecta: Neuroptera) are xerophilous insects adapt to arid conditions that perform some resilent behaviours to overcome some noxious effects of the global warming. This paper focuses on the determination of the diversity of the antlion in the Soudano-guinean and Soudano-sahelian area of Cameroon analyzes the distribution of antlion larvae in these regions. After 3 years of survey, 3 antlions species dominate in the North of Cameroon especially in the dry season. Pits distribution under four tropical trees species is irregular, there is higher density of pits close to the trunck at the shade. This decreases from the shade to open space. At the regional level, the antlion’s pit site is influenced by the chemical composition of the soil: higher acidity, salinity, calcium and magnesium content are suppressive to larval development in one hand. In the other hand, potassium, sulfates and chloride amount are favorable to their development. Myrmeleon quinquemaculatus (Hagen,1853), is endemic to Guinean higher savannah of the Adamaoua region; Myrmeleon obscurus (Rambur, 1842) is a species widely spread in the 3 sampled regions, and Hagenomya tristicis (Walker, 1853) is restricted to the Soudano-sahelian zone.

Abstract:
Nowadays typical starter cultures are very expensive and because of this reason people tend to use a small amount of curd from a previous batch as the starter culture. But doing this continuously causes quality reduction of curds. When consecutive curds are used as starter cultures, wild cultures can be prominent because of dilution of Lactic Acid Bacterialconcentration. Therefore, major objective of this study was to prepare a freeze dried starter culture using dried Malabar tamarind (Garcinia gummi-gutta) fruits to avoid such situations. In addition, there was a necessity to check whether there is a difference between curds prepared with commercial culture and newly developed culture regarding consumer preference for sensory attributes. And also it was important to know the microbial composition of the end product. From the first sensory evaluation, the best inoculation rate of Malabar tamarind pulp was chosen and the curd made from it was compared with curd made from commercial starter culture in the second sensory evaluation.

Abstract:
A study was conducted at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, to determine water uptake at 6 and 12 hour intervals, and germination characteristics of scarified and non scarified seeds of castor bean accessions in 2008 and 2009. Two hundred seeds were selected from each accession: one hundred seeds were scarified mechanically by caruncle removal using knife (seed lot 1), one hundred seeds were not scarified (seed lot 2). Each seed lot was immersed in 10ml of distilled water contained in 9cm-diameter petridish. Thereafter, seed lots were weighed at every 6 h starting from 0 to 24 h, and at every 12 h up to 108 h. Water uptake in scarified and non scarified seeds was determined by seed mass increase, and expressed as percentage increase in mass of seeds. Germination test of two hundred seeds of each accession was done by planting seeds 2cm deep in moist sandy loam soil contained in plastic containers to determine germination characteristics .Results showed that the weight and percentage weight increase of seeds at 6 and 12 hour intervals were significantly higher in scarified seeds than in non scarified seeds.

Abstract:
In wireless sensor network nodes position estimation in space is known as localization. Node localization in wireless sensor network is important for many applications and to find the position with Received Signal Strength Indicator requires a number of anchor nodes. However the estimation of distance from signal strength decay in not very accurate especially in time varying environmental conditions and the estimation of exact direction required highly directive antenna but, may still affected by multipath fading. A Genetic Algorithm for wireless sensor network localization is proposed in this paper to solve the issue that the positioning accuracy is low with minimum anchor nodes. Hence in this paper we are presenting a combine distance and angle based optimization approach which tries to find the optimal location by satisfying both the criteria with minimal error. The simulation results also validates that the proposed algorithm effectively outperform both the techniques.

Abstract:
The objective of the paper is to analyze the unsteady free convective flow and mass transfer through a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid along a porous vertical isothermal non-conducting uniformly moving plate in the presence of exponentially decaying heat generation and transverse magnetic field with variable suction and viscous dissipation. The governing equations of motion, energy and concentration are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity parameter method. The ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically using Runge – Kutta method along with shooting technique. Numerical results for velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained for various values of physical parameter and presented graphically. Also the numerical values of skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are obtained for various values of physical parameters discussed and presented through tables.

Abstract:
A web portal architecture for implementation in private universities in Nigeria was proposed and described in this paper. The waterfall model was adopted as the methodology of choice where it prescribes a systematic approach to software development which helps to clearly define both the user and system requirements, The portal proposed was developed using several development tools such as WAMP packages where the Windows platform is the operating system on which the portal runs, Apache is the server, while MySQL was used for the database and PHP as the scripting language. A model of the portal was designed using modeling tools such as Data Flow Diagram (which included student level data flow diagram, lecturer level data flow diagram, administrator level data flow diagram) and the Use Case Diagram. This was preceded by the implementation of the portal to achieve specific objectives such as controlling educational processes, providing access to educational resources, storing user details and information, ensuring security and data integrity, providing a user friendly environment for users and confidentiality.

Abstract:
Multinational corporations do not come into being from thin air; there must be a form, an organization, and a goal for them to be brought into existence. Many studies that have been carried out in Europe and the rest of developing nations have concentrated on the benefits of Multinational corporations but literature still remains very little when Africa and the rest of the developing nations are touched. This study sought to bridge the gap of MNC by adding more literature on factual findings from a developing country context such as Kenya. It was centered on principles of employment creation, poverty and dependency reduction and foreign direct investment.

Abstract:
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process is an arc welding process which produces coalescence of metal by heating them with an arc between a covered metal electrode and the work. Shielding is obtained from decomposition of the electrode covering. Pressure is not used. Filler metal is obtained from the electrode. The prediction of the optimal weld deposit area is an important aspect in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process as it is related to the strength of the weld. The goal of this research work is to optimize various parameters for Shielded Metal Arc Welding process, including welding voltage, welding current and welding speed by developing a mathematical model for sound weld deposit area of a mild steel specimen. Factorial design approach has been applied for finding the relationship between the various process parameters and weld deposit area. The study revealed that the weld deposit area varies directly with welding voltage and welding current and inverse relationship is found between welding speeds with weld deposit area.
