Abstract:
This experiment was conducted in order to compare the effects of
Achillea millefolium and
Pimpinella anisum Extracts
on healing of wounds in rats. Twenty-four adult, male Wistar-albino
rats were divided into four groups of six rats each. Group A
received a
Achillea millefolium
extract and Group B
received a Pimpinella anisum extract, Group C,
as the control group, didn’t receive any treatment and finally
Group D received a silver sulfadiazine ointment. The results
show that
Achillea millefolium
extract served to
accelerate the wound healing process and specifically increased
epithelialization in treatment groups compared to the other
groups. Thus, this study demonstrates that
Achillea
millefolium may be
effective in stimulating the enclosure of wounds.
Results from our investigation suggest a positive effect of
Achillea millefolium on aseptic surgical
skin wound healing.

Abstract:
Nigeria’s vision of becoming one of
the twenty richest economies in the world by year 2020 will be a
mirage, unless the issue of epileptic power supply is resolved.
This could however be overcome by utilizing energy from
the sun, which is very abundant in the country, Nigeria being a
tropical country. Solar energy is the most promising of the
renewable energy sources in view of its apparent limitless
potential. This study therefore investigated the potentials of
energy generation from the sun. The materials used were solar
panel, inverter, battery, solar charger controller and solar
panel stand. They were coupled together. Four positions of panel
were selected and these were; when the panel was at parallel to
the horizontal and stationary, when it was inclined at 15°, 30°
and 45° respectively. Readings of generated current at various
angles of inclination of solar panel were recorded and exact
location of the panel was determined through compass. The
average currents recorded at 15°, 30° and 45° were 4.67, 4.89
and 4.97 amperes respectively, while the current generated for
stationary panel when it was parallel to the horizontal was 3.96
amperes. The results showed that improved current generation was
obtained when the panel was facing south. The study concluded
that having a rotating solar panel is far better than the
stationary one and that, the maximum current, which translates
to high power was recorded at angle of inclination of 45
degrees.

Abstract:
In this
investigation, a
defined medium was inoculated with Candida albicans and
Fusarium sp. Incubation was at 28oC. The
composition of the
medium was
potassium dihydrogen sulphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium
sulphate, hydrated iron sulphate, manganese sulphate, copper
sulphate, zinc sulphate, thiamine, biotin, sodium nitrate
(nitrogen source)
and galactose (carbon
source).
Proteins which exhibited α-amylase activity were expressed by
the isolates within a period of eight days.
The enzymes obtained on days of
optimum activity were precipitated at 90% saturation and
dialysed with buffer.The results showed that, by the seventh day of inoculation of the
medium, optimum α-amylase activity was
expressed by
Candida albicans.
Production
of α-amylase by
Fusarium sp. was optimum by the sixth day.
The
α-amylases
constituted by
the two isolates,
partially purified,
were
stimulated by Na+
but inhibited by HgCl2
and EDTA.

Abstract:
Previous research has
established (1) that a country’s financial sector influence
future economic growth and (2) that stock market index returns
affect future economic growth. We extend and tie together these
two strands of the growth literature by analyzing the
relationship between banking industry stock returns and future
economic growth also we survey Indicators Of Institutional
Characteristics, such as bank-accounting-disclosure standards,
banking crises, and government ownership of banks. Using ARDL
techniques to analyze time series data for the period between
1974 and 2011InUnited states, we find a positive and significant
relationship between bank stock returns and future GDP growth By
Considering Indicators of Institutional Characteristics and
Financial Development in United States.

Abstract:
Proteases are produced
industrially and have a wide application. In the present
investigation, Candida albicans inoculated into flour
grew at 37OC producing proteolytic activity within
ten days. The induced protease was partially purified by
ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by dialysis. The
partially purified protease had optimum activity at 300C
and at pH 7.0. The alkaline protease was able to degrade casein
with optimum activity expressed at 8mg/ml concentration. The
enzyme was stimulated by zinc chloride and potassium chloride
but inhibited by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid suggesting a
metalloprotease.

Secularism &
Constitution-A Study in India

Abstract:
When the
word ‘Secular’ was borrowed from the west and placed into the
preamble of our constitution by the founding members of modern
India, the message they wanted to send out to the world and the
value system they wanted to instill among Indians in a nutshell
was that India will have no state religion, all the people in
this ancient country are equal in the eyes of the government and
the law thus shall live in peace and harmony. But what our
modern leaders did was nothing unique or exemplary by adding
secularism to India’s constitution but rather made the concept
of secularism redundant and betrayed the basic knowledge and
essence that constituted India’s ethos since time immemorial.
India always followed the great tradition of ‘Sarva
dharmasambhava’ i.e. all religions are harmonious with each
other and lead to God and thus one can follow the path he or she
chooses. Tolerance and harmony is a weave through Indian
philosophy, culture and society since ages.

Abstract: Adults learn most
effectively when they have an inner motivation to develop a new
skill or gain new knowledge. They resist learning material if it
is forced on them, or if the only reason given is that the
material will, in some vague way, be "good for them to know."
Adults need to know why they are being asked to learn something;
and they definitely will want to know what the benefits will be
before they begin learning. This means the best motivators for
adult learners are explicit interest and self benefit. If they
can be shown that the program will benefit them pragmatically
and practically, they will learn better, and the benefits will
be much longer lasting. Typical motivations include a desire for
better handling of personal money matters, say in retirement,
wanting a new or first job, promotion, job enrichment, a need to
reinforce old skills in say, handling credit or learn new ones,
a need to adapt to community changes such as on-line banking and
so on. Remember the tone of the program should be motivating.

Abstract:
Management, like other sciences has vicissitudinous history, the
history which its formal and scientific beginning started at the
beginning of 20 century by systemic and empiricist efforts by
Taylor. Different schools and theories were formed after
scientific beginning of studies in management, which finally
resulted in contingency school (approach/attitude/theory) in
70s. However, we can find the origin of the contingency approach
in predecessor’s ideas such as Henry Faiol and Mary Parkerfalt
but this approach was known by Fidler who considered contingency
aspect of leadership, more. After appearing contingency school
in management, nothing exists as "one Best Way”
longer. This means that success of one approach in one place
does not guarantee its success in other place but various
factors including cultural and civilization context, national
identity, history of one nation, and all involved in success
or lack of success of one approach.

Abstract:
Important qualitative parameters of the large software systems
are determined by indicators of effectiveness of the software's,
such as response time, operating power and error rate. Procedure
modeling is an approach for evaluating the effectiveness and
validation of the systems and, as well as it predicts the
requirements of qualitative and quantitative performance and
provides a comparison between all kinds of designs with respect
to performance indicators. Present study suggested a method for
converting the UML description designing software to
Stochastic Process
Algebra (SPA) model, which provides the application of
using the UML in designing software with high performance; in
other words it putting the performance in designing software and
a high quality software is designed. In order to modeling the
parts of system we use state chart and for the interactions
between the parts we use the Collaboration chart with the
performance profile (using the performance profile is the
distinction between the suggested approach and the former
ones.). An algorithm is provided for automatic production of the
SPA performance model from the XML (Extensible Markup Language)
documents and state and collaboration charts with performance profiles(stereotype, label and limitation), using the
ExportXMI software, ArgoUML is provided, and then they
gained SPA performance/operation model in the PEPAworkbench
tool is loaded for performance analysis, so as the designer can
test the fulfill of performance goals of his design according to
type of different performance parameters and changing in value
and chooses the best option in designing.

Abstract: Today, more than ever, specified the development
organizations and the communities that depend on the proper use
of human resources and Key role for recruiting qualified human
resources has caused intense competition between organizations
is essential, especially in educational organizations. Attention
to the individual characteristics of employees and their
creativity in an organization to successfully reach their goals
with high efficiency. Managers should always consider evolving
characteristics of this valuable resource and with Recognition
of their talents and abilities and participation in production
provided. Since human characteristics are related with
organizational effectiveness, In this research to achieve the
desired results is to consider practical and scientific
purposes. In this study, the independent variables include
experience, education, age, gender and aspects of personality
(introversion, extraversion, impulse control, psychosis,
neurosis and emotional stability), and effectiveness is
considered the dependent variable. Ten hypotheses for the
research questions that were developed, To analyze the
hypothesis, 67-item questionnaire was distributed among
employees Sama College. After analyzing the questions and test
hypotheses using Pearson correlation analysis, regression
analysis and T-test analyzes indicated a significant
relationship between work experience, education, age, gender,
introversion, extroversion, emotional stability, Neuroticism and
impulse control with there are organizational effectiveness. But
there was no significant relationship between neuroticism and
organizational effectiveness.
