Abstract:
In all
avian species studied to date,
the epididymal ducts was not uniform along its length. It
consisted of a different number of regions with different
histological and Cytological structure. The epididymal region
was suggested to perform many activities. A Secretory activity
was recorded by in fowl. Phagocytosis of the broken down germ
cells and degenerated spermatozoa have been also speculated in
fowl &) in different birds. The epididymal region of the
pigeon macroscopically appeared as an elongated organ closely
attached to the dorsomedial aspect of the testis and they were
enclosed together within the tumica albuginea.

Abstract: Although Farrokhzad (Iranian poet) and Sylvia
Plath seem to have little in common, a French feminist study of
their poems reveals that they share similar experiences in their
dealings with personal and social critical issues reflected in
their literary works. The present article is an effort to
illustrate that the poetry of both these eminent poets carries
with itself the unique female voice that Kristeva, Cixous and
Irigaray described in their critical theories. Accordingly, it
focuses on Plath’s and Farrokhzad’s selected poems through the
‘écriture feminine’ to mention Cixous’s term as the language of
femininity in a patriarchal literary world.

Abstract:
The present article provides a
survey of the available literature on data mining, its methods
and utilities. A categorization has been provided based on the
different soft computing tools and their hybridizations used,
the data mining function implemented, and the preference
criterion selected by the model. The utility of the different
soft computing methodologies is highlighted. Generally fuzzy
sets are suitable for handling the issues related to
understandability of patterns; incomplete/noisy data, mixed
media information and human interaction, and can provide
approximate solutions faster. Neural networks are nonparametric,
robust, and exhibit good learning and generalization
capabilities in data-rich environments. Genetic algorithms
provide efficient search algorithms to select a model, from
mixed media data, based on some preference criterion/objective
function. Rough sets are suitable for handling different types
of uncertainty in data. Some challenges to data mining and the
application of soft computing methodologies are indicated.
Finally, we use data mining in image processing and present a
solution to detect ulcer on photos of patient’s skin.

Abstract:
In recent years, the amount and
complexity of computations required for solving our everyday
problems have increased considerably. These problems require
higher computing power hence higher number of computing
components. Different methods are used for solving such problems
such as parallel machines, computer clusters, grid systems and
cloud systems. An important issue in all these approaches is
scheduling the tasks taking into account Quality of Service (QoS)
considerations. This article offers QoS-based algorithm in a
cloud computing context. QoS parameters considered in this study
include cost and reduction of the average response time. The
basic procedure for this algorithm is that every user requests
for QoS parameters is valuated using index method. In addition,
having received user request, computations are performed and
every request is given a priority with the aim of minimizing the
cost and according to resource utilization. The result of this
valuation of user requests is first used for scheduling
activities in real environment. These indexes are then used in
the system’s execution queue to determine the priority of user
request. The proposed algorithm is implemented in a real
environment using the OpenSees software. Results from the
computations indicate that using the proposed algorithm improves
the average execution time by 15% compared to the EDF (Earliest
Deadline First) method while increasing the number of OpenSees
execution requests. It also reduces resource utilization cost
proportionately by 5%. This study reveals that using the
proposed method increases the number of requests and at the same
time fewer requests are missed.

ABSTRACT:
This study
determines the prevalence of HIV -1 and HIV- 2 antibodies among
secondary school students in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. A total of
100 students aged 13-18 years in government and private
secondary schools respectively in Port Harcourt, Nigeria were
used for this study. Determine® HIV-1/2 test cards and HIV -1/2
Stat- Pak® Assay kits were used for the detection of HIV-1 and
HIV-2 antibodies in the collected blood samples. The overall
prevalence for HIV in this study was 2.0%. Age-group 16-18 years
had the highest prevalence of HIV (3.9%) compared to age group
13-15 years (0.0%).
HIV antibodies were more prevalent
among females (3.3%) than their male counterparts (0.0%).
HIV
antibodies were more prevalent among students from government
secondary schools (4.1%) than their counterparts from private
secondary schools (0.0%). Three risk factors (age, gender and
location) pertinent to transmission of HIV were studied, each
appeared to be significantly associated (P<0.05) with HIV-1/2
antibodies prevalence among the study population. This study
however, further confirmed the presence of
HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies among secondary school students
in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This calls for the need for an
extensive HIV awareness programmes in secondary schools. General
surveillance and public health education to stop the spread of
the infection from this group is also advocated.

Abstract:
In an effort to combat climate change, aid energy
independence and counteract diminishing supplies of fossil
fuels, there is a need to research on renewable fuel energy
sources. Bioethanol is a sustainable
and renewable biofuel that is a promising substitute to gasoline
and represents an environment-friendly fuel because it reduces
the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in
prices and environmental problems caused by fossil fuels has
contributed to this recent interest in biofuel research from
economical and ecological perspectives.
The biofuel that is expected to be most widely used around the
world is bioethanol.
Bioethanol is ethanol derived from biological feedstocks
utilizing microbial fermentation processes.
Bioethanol has a low toxicity and is readily biodegradable than
petroleum fuel. Production of ethanol by
fermentation from cheap carbohydrate materials for use as an
alternative liquid fuel is the current focus of research
worldwide. Mahua (Madhuca indica)
belonging to the family Sapotaceae, is a multipurpose
forest tree which is widely distributed in the South Asian
countries. Mahua flowers are rich source of reducing sugar and
nutrient content. The lack of
industrially suitable microorganisms for converting biomass into
ethanol has been cited as a major technical barrier to a
developing bioethanol industry. In this context,
production of ethanol from mahua flowers by bacterial
fermentation was investigated. Bacteria were isolated from
compost and kitchen waste dumped soil. A total of 16 bacteria
were isolated on Nutrient agar medium, identified primarily on
morphological characteristics, screened for their fermentation
ability by carbohydrate fermentation test and positively
screened bacterial isolates were subjected to ethanol production
using mahua flower as fermentation medium under incubation
period of 120 hours in shaker incubator at 80 rpm and 30 ºC.
Ethanol concentration of the fermentation liquid after
distillation was determined by specific gravity method. The
highest ethanol yield of 8.94 % was obtained from fermentation
by bacterial isolate S4B3.

The Relation of Orientation
and Dimensional Specifications of Window with Building Energy
Consumption in Four Different Climates of Köppen Classification

Abstract:
Building energy consumption can be altered by its exterior
fenestrations to a great extent. Window, as the most prevalent
opening in building skin, needs precise attention in design to
avoid excessive undesirable energy loss or gain. Window affects
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) loads of a
building. Based on the amount of using natural light, it also
plays an important role in determining the lighting energy
needed for a building. Different features of window can affect
internal energy requirements like Window to Wall Ratio (WWR),
orientation, proportion (length to height), and placement of the
window in an exterior side of a building. These characteristics
of window should be considered with the climatic and
geographical features of the building site. In this research, it
has been tried to have an investigation on the relation of
aforementioned parameters of window and the HVAC and lighting
energy loads required for the case study buildings in diverse
climatic zones and the aim of this study was to conclude some
guidelines about efficient window parameters in different
climatic zones, specially, for preliminary phase of design. It
has been concluded that a 20-32% WWR for total exterior walls
(25-40% window size) is an efficient ratio as an optimum for
reducing HVAC and lighting systems loads. The lower effects of
solar energy because of the sun angle and huge heating load
required in higher altitudes put this ratio lower. On the other
hand, in the lower altitudes (specially, second quarter section
or 22.5° to 45° N or S), the energy loads of the building can be
altered significantly by solar energy.

Abstract:
Background: This study examines the relationship between
personality characteristics and the quality of work life and job
skills of high school principals in Zahedan.
Methods: method of this study was descriptive -correlative and
population includes secondary school principals in Zahedan
academic year 1390 – 1391with the number of 92 persons. To
analysis data, Pearson's correlation coefficient is used.
Results:
The results of Pearson correlation test showed that the there
was a direct and significant relationship between extraversion -
introversion, enthusiasm for new experience, and
conscientiousness components with quality of work life but
between dimensions of Managers' personalities and job skills;
there is no significant relationship. There is significant
relationship between neurosis component with perception skills
and passion to new experience with technical skills. However,
there is not significant relationship between the components of
a passion for new experiences with perceptual skills, a passion
for new experience with human skills, adaptation component with
perceptual skills, adaptation components with human skills,
adaptation component with technical skills, the component of
conscientiousness with perception skills, conscientiousness with
human skills, conscientiousness with technical skills. In
addition, there is no significant relationship between
perception skills with quality of work life, human skill factors
with quality of life work. In addition, components of technical
skill with quality of working life in the community, there is no
significant relationship.
Conclusions: Because of the positive, constructive and effective
five dimensions (neurosis, Extraversion - Introversion, passion
for new experiences, adaptation and conscientiousness), managers
should try to make it. This important point conduct through
identify disciplined, diligent and punctual individuals in
keeping conscientiousness dimension, increasing the managers
capacity to accept ideas, concepts, ideas and opinions of others
in order to enhance the experience of Openness toward the
acceptance of experience, enhance moral characteristic, in order
to enhance adaptation dimension, identify managers with
hospitability mood to enhance extraversion dimension.

Abstract:
Climate change creates new ecological niches, potentially
allowing for the establishment and spread of plant pests and
diseases to new geographical areas and from one region to
another. Accordingly, it might also result in the emergence of
new plant diseases and pests. Furthermore, changes in species
composition might augment the occurrence of unexpected events,
including the emergence of new diseases and pests. These
additional opportunities for entry, establishment and spread
might generally result in higher uncertainty. In Africa, the
best economic strategy for farmers is to use integrated pest
management practices to closely monitor insect and disease
occurrence. Keeping pest and crop management records over time
will allow farmers to evaluate the economics and environmental
impact of pest control and determine the feasibility of using
certain pest management strategies or growing particular crops.
In view of the large number of plant/livestock diseases and
pests, it is clear that, in most cases, detailed risk assessment
is unlikely to occur, especially since invasive species ecology
is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, in principle, it is
possible to estimate the area that is climatically receptive to
pest species, with the usual caveats on genetic homogeneity,
biotic interactions at both the source and destinations, and
human-modified microhabitats, such as irrigated crops. This
paper summarized the potential impact of climate change on crop
pests and livestock disease for best management plans in
Irrigated African Agroecosystems.

Abstract:
Livestock systems in developing countries are characterized by a
rapid change, driven by factors such as population growth,
increases in the demand for livestock products as incomes rise,
and urbanization. Climate change has direct and indirect impacts
on livestock production. Most direct effects of climate change
on animal health, wellbeing and production (e.g. growth,
reproduction, milk production) are the result of increased
ambient temperature and concurrent changes in heat exchanges
between the animal and its environment. Therefore,
successful adaptations may be viewed as those actions that
decrease vulnerability and increase resilience overall, in
response to a range of immediate needs, risks and aspirations.

Abstract:
Biodegradation is the process that uses microorganisms, fungi,
green plants or their enzymes to return the natural environment
altered by contaminants to its original condition. It is a
biologically catalyzed reduction in complexity of chemical
compounds that involve two basic processes: growth and
co-metabolism. Specific indigenous microbial communities are
likely to contain microbial populations of differing taxonomic
relationships which are capable of degrading crude oil spill.
The most important genera of hydrocarbon utilizers in aquatic
environment include Pseudomonas, Achromobacter,
Arthrobacter, Micrococcus, Nocardia, Vibrio,
Acinetobacter, Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium,
Flavobacterium, Candida, Rhodotorula,
Sporobolomyces, cyanobacteria and some algal species such as
Oscillatoria spp., Microcoleus sp., Anabaena
spp., Agmenellum sp., Coccochloris sp., Nostoc
sp., Aphanocapsa sp., Chlorella spp.,
Dunaliella sp., Chlamydomonas sp., Ulva sp.,
Cylindretheca sp., Amphora sp., Porphyridium
sp., and Petalonia. Microorganisms are capable of
degrading hydrocarbons under both aerobic and anaerobic
conditions. Challenges militating against the use of
microorganisms in the biodegradation of crude oil spill include
local environmental conditions of the polluted site, rate of
uptake and mineralization of the organic compounds,
concentration of the crude oil, limited bioavailability of the
organic compounds etc. The use of molecular techniques in
producing ‘super bugs’ or genetically modified organisms under
strict non-proliferation rules provides a huge advantage in
improving the use of microorganisms in oil biodegradation.

Abstract:
The present study was designed
to investigate the distribution of Anisakis species among some
marine fish at Al-Qatef, Eastern province, Saudi Arabia to
detect the clinical signs, prevalence, seasonal variation and
histopathological alterations in naturally infested fish
species. The distribution of parasitic nematode, Anisakis sp.
larvae was investigated in 40 host species, only 5 species,
Cephalopholis hemistiktos,Epinephelus
chlorostigma, Epinephelus tauvina, Lutjanus ehrenbergi
and Lutjanus
malabaricus
were found
susceptible to infestation with Anisakis sp. The distribution of
Anisakis sp. in tissues of infested fish species revealed its
significant existence in the abdominal muscle, abdominal cavity
and liver. The infested fishes showed no any clinical external
abnormalities. The total percent of Anisakis sp. larvae
infestation among the investigated fish species reached 5.33%.
The infestation rates showed seasonal variations, the highest
prevalence of infestation among the infested fish occurred
during summer (20.45%), followed by spring (19.44%), autumn
(10%), winter (5.66%). The histo-pathological alterations showed
the presence of migrating larvae in-between the abdominal muscle
fibers and liver tissues of
Cephalopholis hemistiktos,
surrounded with fibrous connective tissues accompanied with of
variable inflammatory reactions of the infested tissues.

Abstract:
Rigidoporus lignosus
(Klotzsch) Imazcommonly called
white root rot is the pathogen most feared by planters
throughout the rubber-growing regions of the world. In West
Africa, the white root rot is responsible for yield losses of up
to 50% in old rubber plantations. The
incidence and severity of the root rot as it affects rubber were
determined from three different locations in Nigeria based on
the management of diseases in the rubber estates.Plantation 2,
Araromi, in Ogun State recorded the highest number of uninfected
trees while the lowest numbers of uninfected trees were recorded
at Plantation 3, Benin City, Edo State. The Percentage
infectivity, Disease index and level of infectivity in the three
plantations were significantly different from each other
(p>0.05). The highest gross economic loss (GEL) was recorded in
Plantation 3, Benin City, Edo State (N5,589,967:00k)
while Plantation 2, Araromi, in Ogun State had the lowest GEL (N
43,067).

Abstract: Chronically excessive
numbers of glucocorticoids are known to induce insulin
resistance, which is possibly involved in impairing the insulin
signaling in liver, muscle, and adipose tissues. Excessive
levels of cortisol are characterized by the symptoms of
abdominal obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance or diabetes
and dyslipidemia,all of these features are shared by the
condition of insulin resistance.Consumption of high levels of
dietary fat is thought to be a major factor in the promotion of
obesity and insulin resistance [7]. Fatty acid composition
in the diet is another mechanism implicated in the development
of insulin resistance [6]. Several environmental factors,
including high-fat diet, are reported to activate the
functioning of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis [HPA].Frequently
evoked HPA-axis secretes excessive amount of cortisol [21] and
elevated cortisol level is implicated in the development of
entire spectrum of the metabolic syndrome, including insulin
resistance, visceral obesity and dyslipidemia as well as the
kinds of [21]. Cinnamon contains biologically active substances
that have demonstrated insulin-mimetic properties. In vitro [3]
and in vivo [1,20] studies have shown that cinnamon enhances
glucose uptake by activating insulin receptor kinase activity,
autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor, and glycogen
synthase activity. Other recent studies have demonstrated the
ability of cinnamon to reduce lipid levels in fructose-fed rats,
potentially via inhibiting hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl
CoA reductase activity [2]. Adiponectin is the most abundant
plasma protein synthesized for the most part in adipose tissue,
and it is an insulin-sensitive hormone,playing a central role in
glucose and lipid metabolism [7] Furthermore, adiponectin levels
are inversely associated with visceral adiposity [15].Moreover,
adiponectin has been reported to exhibit anti-atherosclerotic
and anti-inflammatory effects [17,16].

Sciences, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria,
marianuseni@yahoo.com
ABSTRACT:
The terminal mouth possessed by P. jubelini which opens
up to 20% of its total body length allows the fish to seize its
prey easily. The presence of the multiserial bands of setiform
teeth enables the fish to grip its prey firmly in the mouth for
suffocation before swallowing. More so, the pharyngeal teeth on
the upper and lower surfaces of the mouth are modified in to
smooth pebble-like stones that are adapted for crushing soft
bones, hard shells and crustaceans before swallowing. The
intestine of P. jubelini is short (about 50%) of its body
length and not coiled. The pyloric caeca were observed in all
the species sampled and were between 6 and 7 outgrowths.

salehizaynab@yahoo.com
ABSTRACT: Samanids (279-389 A.H) are Iranian Kings. They
took rule in north-eastern parts of Iran. Prestige and social
status of servants and peasants, and the confirmation and
support of caliphs led to their legitimacy in the political
power and influence. Peasants were one of the effective factors
in forming Samanid government. Military and social background in
north-eastern Iran in the second half of the third century A.H
(Islamic calendar) along with the troubled and turbulent
situation in these areas after the fall of Tahirids, as well as
harassment and threats by Saffarids put peace, security and
interests of peasants in danger and thus, peasants tried to get
rid of the danger and maintain their position by supporting
Samanids in taking power. This was the introduction of their
influence in the government and power to the extent that
servants like Albtakin, Baktozen, Tash, Ghratakin and Faiq took
positions as doorkeepers, generalissimos, or division commanders
and had an important and effective role in the structure of
army.

(76 species in KA and 80 species in KB site) were identified. In
the majority of the growth forms, growth initiation was recorded
in May whereas senescence in October. Maximum flowering occurred
in July-August in alpine regions. Phenological character viz.,
germination, vegetative growth, flowering, fruiting and
senescence depend on the climate of the regions. Most of the
species initiate their germination after snow melt in month of
April- May. The dominant life forms found in Kedarnath was
Chamaephytes, Therophytes and Cryptophytes in both sides.

Abstract:
This research investigated the factors related to supportive
organization in Red Crescent Society. The results showed that
perceived organizational support has relationship with
supportive organization. If an organization is supportive, the
employees perceive the support. According to the results of
research, organizational justice has also relationship with
supportive organization, meaning that provided that the
employees feel that there is justice and equity in the
organization and its procedures, they would perceive
organizational support.

Abstract:
Bioethanol is also biodegradable, less explosive, less poisonous
and easier to extinguish if burning, compared to petrol and
diesel. It is normally produced by fermenting starchy or sugary
solids from crops based feedstock like corn, sugar beet,
sugarcane, barley, feedstock containing cellulosic biomass such
as stalks, leaves and husk from corn plants and woodchips. Biofuels are a wide
range of fuels which are derived from
biomass.
Biofuels are gaining increased public and scientific attention,
driven by factors such as
oil price spikes, the need for
increased
energy security
and concern over
greenhouse gas
emissions from fossil fuels. Bioethanol is produced by process
of fermentation in which large organic molecules are broken down
in to simpler molecules as the result of the activity of
microorganisms. The present work deals with the bioethanol
production from some carbohydrate source like rice bran,
jatropha oil cake and mahua flowers. Among all mahua flowers
produced maximum bioethanol 9.40%. Rice bran and jatropha oil
cake can also able to produce bioethanol. All substrate produced
maximum bioethanol on fifth day of incubation.

Abstract: The black female writers who have made a
significant contribution to African American Literature knew
that it was necessary to tell their stories which were
influential in their struggle against the forces of domination
in the American canon. Although Angelou’s poetry has a large
public, it does not have the deserved esteem. This article
explores the fact that Angelou, through her outstanding poems,
illustrates the black female voice and expresses her criticism
of discrimination and injustice. Meanwhile, she tries to create
a culture to celebrate the notion that Black subject is
beautiful and unique.

Abstract: Caring has
been widely discussed in the health care professions, especially
in nursing which is considered to be one of the caring
professions. The care in oncology settings causes special stress
of care takers especially oncology nurses. Oncology nurses see
patients dieing every day due to failed treatment or late
diagnosis. This incidence has negative psychological feelings on
nurses. Consequently have negative implications upon the
different caring dimensions in oncology settings. However, few
researchers have examined this issue. Hence, the purpose of this
research is to assess the impact of
nurse's depression on caring dimensions at oncology Care unit.
The study was conducted at oncology unit in Al Ain hospital in
U.AE. Forty oncology nurses were included in the study. Three
tools were used by the researcher for data collection. Oncology
nurses demographic data through a structured interview schedule.
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to measure depression of
oncology nurses, and caring dimension inventory (CDI) to gather
oncology nurses perceptions of caring dimension in oncology
settings. The results revealed that the majority of oncology
nurses were experience mild and moderate levels of depression
(55% and 30% respectively). 15% of the study subjects had severe
level of depression. Oncology nurses were perceived the
importance of caring in all aspects of care (57.5%, 45.0%, 67.5%
respectively) P = 0.342. Overall, results shows
statistically significant positive correlation between oncology
nurses depressive level and their years of experience in
oncology settings (P = 0.001). A statistical significant
difference was found between levels of depression and oncology
nurses perceptions of aspects of nursing practice to be caring (P
= 0.001).

Abstract:
Cowpea is a very important grain legume that serves as a source
of dietary protein for human consumption, however the grain is
widely infested by a number storage insect pests among which
Callosobruchus maculatus is a primary field to store pest
causing considerably great losses to farmers. Laboratory study
was conducted to assess the efficacy of Moringa oleifera
leaf powder, used as protectant against C. maculatus F.
infesting stored cowpea. The bioassays were conducted at six
levels of concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 2.0 g/20g
seed) of test plant leaf powder and the untreated control (0g/20
g seed). All the different levels of concentrations considerably
reduced oviposition and emergence of F1 progeny compared to the
control. The mortality of the cowpea beetles was assessed at two
days after infestation (2 DAI), 4 DAI, 6 DAI and 7 DAI and the
results indicated that the mortality increased with increasing
amount of M. oleifera leaf powder, with concentration of
2.0g /20g seed has significantly higher (p > 0.05) mortality
compared to the control. Also, different level concentrations
significantly protected the seeds in relation to seed damage and
seed weight loss caused by C. maculatus compared to the
control.

Abstract:
The corruption is an
often used, but very rarely defined phenomenon of the social
life. Corruption or level of corruption is widely used in public
discourse and usually hold a two fold common-sense meaning. On
one hand it stands for those illegal practices, in which
citizens or organizations bribe officials in charge for awarding
permissions, contracts, or to escape punishment or fines for
offences they committed. In a simpler definition: Corruption is
to obtain privileges against law or against the rules of some
bureaucracy. This is the narrow definition of corruption. Many
scholars argue, however, that corruption is a broader
phenomenon, or rather, a hardly definable set of phenomena,
including achieving several advances through personal
networking; paying gratitude money or giving gifts for usual
services, what are already reimbursed from customers or state
resources.

ABSTRACT:
The framers of
the Indian constitution incorporated all basic human rights as
fundamental rights and made special provisions to ensure their
enforcement under article 226 and 32. of The Constitution. The
Constitution of India was drafted after the Universal
declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations on Dec. 10,
1948 and therefore some ideas were borrowed right from the
declaration itself. But after long period Indian parliament
enacted the Protection of Human Rights Act in 1993 to provide
for the Constitution National Human rights Commission and state
Human Rights Commissions and Human Rights Court for the
protection of human rights. The researcher view and analysis in
this research paper is that to what extent Indian Judiciary
protecting Human rights as per the constitutional safeguards in
this respect. So the discussion in this paper is what rights
are considered as Human rights by Indian Judiciary and what
protection has been given by Indian Judiciary in different forms
of its decisions in various cases. As we all are well aware
about the violation of Human rights everywhere but it’s a hard
task to prevent the violation of Human Rights. So we are going
to analyze best efforts made by Indian Judiciary in the
recognition and protection of Human Rights in the decisions of
various leading cases.
