Abstract:
This research is done for investigation about the role of dust
on road crash for Yazd province in the year of 2015. This
research is quantitative and description which is done as
documentary or description-analytic research. Statistical
society of this research is total of documents and statistics
about road car crashes on different pivots of Yazd province. In
this research statistic of road crashes of Yazd province as the
result of dust, concern about years of 2010 to 2014 are
considered as statistic sample. Needed information are obtained
from files and statistics which presented by meteorology
organization, Police Department and toll-house bureau of the
province. For analyzing data is used from inference statistic
indexes like Ki2 test, Fridman statistic, Pierson correlation
coefficient and regression. Also results showed that the most
car crashes which happened by dust is in spring season and after
that is happen in winter. So climate factor of dust has
significant role in road car crashes and also it has more
effective toward the other factors. This phenomenon is with
increasing number of cars in ways of the province and also is
with increasing traveling between towns.

Abstract
The study was carried out with three purposes. The first
objective included the socio-economic characteristics of rubber
lump marketers, the second described the marketing channel;
and the third analysed the
structure and conduct of the rubber lump market. Multi-stage
sampling technique was adopted for the study. 120 Rubber lump
marketers were selected and structured questionnaires
administered to them. Descriptive statistics, Gini coefficient
model and Concentration ratio analysis were used for analyzing
the objectives.
Most of the Rubber marketers interviewed were males in their
active age. Ten (10) marketing channels were identified. There
were no barriers to entry and exit in and out of the markets.
The value of the Gini coefficient (0.737) and a
concentration ratio (C.R) of 8.07%,
indicates some level of inequality suggesting the presence of
market concentration among the respondents The results indicate
that the market was characterized with many buyers and sellers
reflecting a pure competitive structure, prices were determined
mainly by factors such as the international (world market) price
and the purchase price, supply and demand forces and cost of
transportation. Market associations existed among the marketers
but only 45% belonged to such associations. About 25 % of the
marketers had insurance policy. No advertisement, no research
and development among marketers to create differentiated
products to enhance profit. Based on the findings,
it is therefore recommended that marketers should form
cooperatives for easy access to loan so as to boost their
financial base.

Abstract:
The paper titled “Information and communication service delivery
as determinant factors for effective research among postgraduate
students.
The major aim of any university
library is to support teaching, learning and research activities
of its parent institution. University libraries must therefore,
make sure that their resources are well utilized as this is
essential for the educational development of the students.
Library is an important intellectual resource of the academic
community, and helps them to fulfil the curriculum requirements
and to promote studies and research. The library, however,
includes the totality of human and organized materials resources
available in both book and non-book format for providing and
obtaining needed information.

Abstract:
The present study scrutinizes the wheel
animalcule community of the Wular lake in Kashmir Himalaya. Till
date no published literature is available on the rotifer
community of the largest freshwater lake of Indian subcontinent.
Sampling was carried out during two years of study (Sep.2012-
Aug.2014). Twenty six taxa of rotifers were recorded from the
nine study sites belonging to by eleven families. Among the
recorded families, Brachionidae was the dominant, followed by
Lecanidae and Lepadellidae. Among the family Lecanidae majority
of the species co- exists with each other suggesting that these
species share same niche levels in a given ecosystem. Wheel
animalcules had peak abundance in summer when there was high
temperature and abundant growth of macrophytes. Bray- Curtis
dendrogram showed close resemblance between sites I, II and VI.
However, the site III, V and IX showed dissimilar nature as far
as distribution of the species is concerned. Brachionus:
Trichocerca ratio reflects that waterbody under
investigation is racing towards eutrophication.

market efficiency to the particular set of data, the provided
method by Mishkin is used.
The sample in this study includes all listed companies on Tehran
Stock Exchange from 2003 until the end of 2013. econometric
models are estimated using data - collected and Stata 11 using
the Eviews 7 software. The research sample includes, 343
companies have been chosen to estimate model and to test
research hypotheses. Note that research studies that investigate
the efficiency of capital market relative to special collections
of information are of studies inquiring into abnormal pricing
(abnormality or irrational pricing). For the analysis of
research data and estimating models, the hybrid data approach
has been used. The results of this study showed that the capital
market is efficient relative to the information of
non-discretionary accruals and the capital market is not
efficient relative to accruals information.

Logic of Pierce
as discussed by your kind self:
Firstness,
Secondness and Thirdness
hakti Vijnana Muni, PhD
bvm@scsiscs.org
Online_Sadhu_Sanga@googlegroups.com
Abstract:
From a semiotic
understanding in Pierce’s philosophy, you have tried to explain
a philosophy of evolution in this paper. You have specified that
it is not an atomic materialism. As mentioned by you it is a
process philosophy which goes beyond both material-deterministic
mechanism as well as pure chance indeterminism and Cartesian
dualism. You have explained that Peirce achieved this by
creating a pragmaticist and semiotic framework of
trans-disciplinary cognition, communication and knowledge
development through the three new philosophical categories,
viz., conceptions of
First,
Second
and the
Third.
The
First
is
the being or the conception of existing independent of
everything else, the
Second is
the conception of being relative to or the reaction. And the
Third is
the conception of mediation where, by the
First
and the Second,
it is brought into relation. About biology you quote Pierce, “In
biology, the idea of arbitrary sporting is First, heredity is
Second, the process whereby the accidental characters become
fixed is Third. Chance is First, Law is Second, the tendency to
take habits is Third.” And this is Peirce’s principle of
Cosmogonic Philosophy, which is a model for the coming into
being or existence of Universe and the sentient beings. However
in highlighting these it might have been important to mention
that Peirce had retrieved the final causation of Aristotle
within his framework. It is the modern scientists who do not
include
telos
or final causation in their mechanical framework because they
think it is in conflict with the efficient causation as well as
it brings the idea that somehow the future effects the present
(i.e. reversing the temporal order). Peirce thinks that the
modern neglect of final causation is due to nominalism.

HNo-5-30-4/1, Saibaba Nagar, IDA Jeedimetla, Hyderabad,
India-500 055
Abstract:
In the time and scale of the universe some things from astronomy
to atom including living beings have been repeating once in
every certain time or period. For example, the south and north
magnetic poles have been shifting in every certain period. The
sun spots have been repeating once in every eleven years. The
lunar and solar eclipses have also been occurring once in every
18.6 years. The seasons such as winter, autumn etc. also have
been repeating once in every year in the same month of the year.
The periodical menses in the females repeating once in every
month. On the basis of the said universal facts, I have prepared
a time scale with 21 blocks, each block containing certain
prescribed cycle of years in which similar calendar years
repeating one after another that leads similar weather
conditions of those previous years to future years likely
repeating every year approximately. The rainfall of the years,
have been entering in the scale in percentages or as it is
pertaining to month, season, annual wise of the each and every
year. If we managing the scale in this manner continuously, we
may assuming the weather conditions of the anterior years on the
basis of the posteriors years weather. On the basis of the
principle, we can assume that a considerable, of course it may
be little chance of predication for an ensuing years by study
the data of earlier years.

Bio-Forecast
Gangadhara Rao Irlapati
HNo-5-30-4/1, Saibaba Nagar, IDA Jeedimetla, Hyderabad, India
Abstract:
I have conducted many researches on the bio forecasting methods
and invented the simple but peculiar Bio forecasting system in
1965. A research project was jointly conducted with Andhra
Pradesh state council of science & Technology, Andhra Pradesh
state remote sensing applications centre and Andhra Pradesh
Science Centre in 1991. I have invented the bioforecast effect
in 1965 by keen study and observations of the LIPOSCOPES
biolumicells. Although weakened by forecasting property with
less successive rate, it is a primary and natural forecasting
method. This is my invention which can help to forecast the
weather changes 18 days in advance. I first started the
researches in 1963-65 @ 5 to 7 years age with little instruments
such as papers and pencils, water drop etc. and invented the
light spot scope (Liposcope). Liposcope is a simple but
wonderful instrument which functions with a natural doctrine
hidden secretly in the function of the eye which can help to
find out some inventions and discoveries like biolumicells,
bioforecast effect etc, Liposcope is my first invention.

Telangana State-500 055.
Abstract:
I have conducted many studies on the origin, nature structure
and evolution of the universe during the 1970-77 and proposed a
new Hypothetical model of cosmology with hundreds or
postulations. In 1977, a book was published in the name of
IRLAPATISM-IRLAPTATI THEORY OF UNIVERSE on the basis of the
postulations of the hypothesis by the supporters. The
postulations about the universe, existence of god, theory of
evolution etc in the book were exposed to the anger of fanatic
people and I got into a violent altercation about these
postulations of the hypothesis. As a result I was subjected to
the suppressions and persecutions. I reported these suppressions
and torments to the revenue divisional officer. Amalapuram on
6-7-1977 the revenue divisional officer was conducted an enquiry
about this matter on forenoon, July 21st, 1977 while
returning from the enquiry, I was attacked by a mob and they had
taken me to the village chavadi. Followed by an altercation with
tortures about the theory, they beaten and f forced me to put
signatures on some false documents, and an offence falsely
framed and foisted against me. After that I was sent to the
taluk magistrate, kothapeta for another trial with the
investigation of the superstitions, the taluk magistrate was
declared me as a dangerous boy and up to anything and issued
sentence to punish me and handed over to the police station,
ravulapalem. The police was arrested me on July 21, 1977
registered a case and sent to remand, I was kept imprisoned some
months in subjail and remaining period interrogated periodically
by panatics and officers. The trials were done between April 2,
1979 to November 20,
1979 after trials, the Honble Additional Judicial First Class
Magistrate court was found me not guilty and acquitted on
November 27, 1979.

Abstract:
Experience shows that indigenous knowledge not only has no
contradiction with formal knowledge but different indigenous
knowledge features, put it as well complementary for formal
knowledge. Indigenous knowledge is accessible, useful and cheap.
These countries have learned that exporting produced goods is
better than selling petroleum. enforcing indigenous productive
system at villages and also encouraging youths and teens to
learn indigenous knowledge at on hand, and preparing suitable
research condition for applied-sciences scholars in order to
identify better and increasing applied aptitude of indigenous
knowledge at the other hand, is equal to protection and
sustainable use of natural resources.
