Groundwater is an important and cheaper source of drinking water. Generally, it is clean & safe and its contamination by pathogens is uncommon. However, water might possess high level of minerals like calcium, magnesium and carbonates owing to its contact with bedrocks. It affects the physical and chemical properties of drinking water. A study was designed to explore alkaline level of groundwater in town Kotputli, Rajasthan.

Technologies are the products of society, yet they have the potential to shape the society. Internet is the big product of information technology, which in itself is the synthesis of telecommunication, computers and cognitive science. Having its roots in academic and research institutions, it is expanding into various aspects of life. The aim of the present study was find out the level of awareness on Internet utility of M.Ed. students. It is to project the level of awareness with respect of gender, residence and locality. The investigator selected three self-financing colleges of Education in Namakkal District. The collected data was analyzed by using mean, standard deviation and t-test.

The study of nutritional transport in articular cartilage. The present study is devoted to investigate analytically, the nutrient transport from synovial fluid to the articular cartilage during compression under heavy load between two hard and porous surfaces i.e. bones. These studies have enabled the researchers to analyze the lubrication mechanism of joints, amount of nutrition being transported to the bones and structural behavior of articular cartilage and synovial. In the present investigation, we have solved the concentration equation in the fluid and cartilage region simultaneously, considering the cartilaginous thickness large but not infinite.

The Nilgiri District is a hilly region named “The Nilgiri Hills” or “blue mountains”. The district is ethnically popular because of the presence of six primitive tribal groups. The essential characteristics of these communities are primitive traits, geographical isolation, distinctive culture, and the shyness of contact with other community at large and the socio-economic backwardness. Among the six primitive tribal groups in Nilgiris, the Paniyans were aboriginal slaves of the soil, worked as bonded labourers in the farm lands owned by rich land lords and Paniyans helped them by working in spice plantation and rice cultivation. The economy of primitive paniyan tribes in the Nilgiris district is based on Agro-forestry economy. Agricultural and allied activities are the main sources of livelihood for the Paniyan tribes. Paniyan tribes spends major portion of their income for day to day necessities, their saving is very low. Most of the Paniyan tribal families in the study area are “born in debt, live in debt and die in debt”. This study covers Paniyan Primitive tribal community in Gudalur and Panthalur Taluks of Nilgiris District in Tamilnadu. This study gives due importance to the savings and indebtedness patterns of Paniyan Primitive tribal community in Nilgiris District of Tamilnadu.

Fractional calculus developed only as the theoretical field of mathematics. Fractional differential equations play an important role in the study of various physical chemical and biological phenomenon’s many researchers are attracted from the field of theory methods and application of fractional differential equation. The research have developed arevarious method to obtain of techniques to obtained approximate solutions of both linear and nonlinear fractional differential and integral equations. In recent year we see that monograph’s Kalibas, Lakashminath [4], Podlibuny and Abbas [6-8], banas [10, 11] Darwish [12-13], Dhage [20-24] and B.D.Karande [1] and there references. In this paper we study the existence of locally attractive solution is of the following nonlinear quadratic volterra integral equation of fractional order.

Density and distribution of the population is one of the basicelements to understand population Geography at regional level.Density and distribution have quite interrelated terms and used simultaneously. While distribution refers to the way people are spaced over the surface of the Earth. In the other words, it emphasizes thepattern of actual place location of a population.The spatial spread of population in the world is not ubiquitous. It is fact that there are wide regional contrasts in the degree ofconcentration of population. Some tracts of the world are overcrowded (Ecumene) while there are some parts of land are practicallyuninhabited or very sparsely populated (non-ecumene).While thedistribution of population is studied in terms of density assuming evendistribution of population over a given area. The density of population also varies at both time and space.According to 2001 census, the density of population for Aurangabad district was 289 persons per sq. km. This was significantly lower than that of state of Maharashtra (314) and India (329).This was due to low degree of industrialization and urbanization in the study region comparing to the rest part of the state.

In India the new Companies Act has given legal recognition and powers to the Government and SEBI to enforce Corporate Governance. It is observed that the practice of Corporate Governance has improved the performance of companies by adding value all round and improved investors (Shareholders and Lenders) confidence in them.
