The decision making to invests money in long term projects. A high-quality decision process requires that the choices are feasible and well-formulated, that consequence are understood and well explored, that the preferences are included when comparing the full array of costs and benefits of the proposed decision and the action taken are focused on getting result. In case of a new project, financial viability can be judged on the following parameters: Total estimated cost of the project. Financial viability study is one of the most important areas of financial management. Making investment decision, capital expenditure budget or capital budgeting, means that we must allocate substantial amount of major resources of people, time and technology, intellectual capital and of course money. Financial viability decision pertains to fixed/long-term assets which are in operation and yield a return over a period of time. They therefore involve current outlay in return for series of anticipated flow of future benefits. In particular this research focused on several techniques commonly used to evaluate financial viability of a project namely the Payback Period, Discounted Payback Period, Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return and Profitability Index. Recent studies highlight that financial manager worldwide methods such as the Internal rate of return (IRR) or Non-discounted payback period (PP) models over the Net Present Value (NPV), which is the model academics consider superior.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Oxidative stress is known to have important roles in the development of atherosclerosis, which is the underlying cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). In recent years cystatin C has emerged as a potential marker for cardiovascular risk and predicts the cardiovascular events. Malondialdehyde (MDA), produced during lipid peroxidation, is used widely in determining oxidative stress. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) gained importance recently, as it can be measure overall antioxidant power. This present study aimed at assessing antioxidant status by measuring MDA, TAC and its relation with cystatin C. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Study group comprised of 145 patients diagnosed as having CAD based on clinical and biochemical criteria. Control group included 66 age and sex matched subjects (non CAD cases) using the same criteria. STASTICAL ANALYSIS: All values are expressed as mean±SD.The results obtained are analysed statistically using the unpaired student t-test to evaluate the significance of differences between the mean values. RESULTS: In this study, significant increase of mean values of serum MDA, cystatin C and significant decrease in TAC level were observed in CAD cases when compared with controls. CONCLUSION: Oxidative stress is markedly observed in CAD cases. MDA, cystatin C are increased and TAC is decreased.

Military was considered as the bedrock of empires and big kingdoms, and no empire could extend itself or sustain its stability and boundaries without the proportionate progress of the armed forces. Whereas the emperors and monarchs have their due share in the pages of history, the commandants, the generals and supporting vast stretch of military occupy the backbench in the historical narration. The status, strength and composition of military varied from kingdom to kingdom and empire to empire. The military of the time of Ashoka, though sufficiently strong was inactive, whereas during the Vijayanagara was very active and alert. Similarly, the composition and conditions, its equipments and training varied from empire to empire depending upon the ambition, the enemy's strength, climate and geographical situations etc. The challenges which were confronting the Vijayanagara the political scenario of the tme, the extent of the empire had created a unique situation necessitating the vast and powerful army and the military system for the sustenance of its stability and for the maintenance of its boundaries. The study of the military system and administration of the Vijayanagara therefore, is as important as the study of its art and literature, its religion and society, its glory and grandeur. It is in this background that the present paper seeks to portray the military administration under the Vijayanagara. In this Article an attempt has been made to probe the organization, maintenance, divisions, set up and military administration of the Vijayanagara.

This study is an attempt to discuss the effectiveness of physics instructions by teachers.We invited all known Government and Self Aided Higher Secondary School physics teachers to respond to a series of survey questions designed to probe the effectiveness of Physics instruction in Pudukkottai District. The respondents were asked to indicate the degree with which they agreed with ten statements regarding effective physics instruction and to rate the relative importance of ten skills students might acquire in their physics courses. We observed statistically significant differences between the views of traditional and non-traditional instructors. Teachers who use inquiry-based approaches to teaching physics are more likely to have a positive view of physics first, and less likely to value a textbook's role in class, and more strongly agree that group work in class is essential. They place more value on graphical representations, and are less likely to believe that giving directions to students is necessary prior to laboratory work.

- In ever changing world scenario, 'Environmental degradation and Loss of ecosystem services' made the word 'Sustainable Development' a sine-qua-non of corporate world.

The institution of marriage is an essence of society. It forms the very basis for the institution of 'Family'. The purpose of marriage is not only legitimizing the procreation of children but also to protect and support intimate family relationships by providing a unique set of rights, privileges and benefits. Marriage has been seen as a social good. The health of marriage and family often has been seen as essential for the good of the society at large. Aristotle believed that, without marriage and strong families children would grow up violent and the wider social fabric would be damaged. This develops a belief that marriage is a social good and therefore a legitimate concern of the State.

The present paper examines issues related to the Dalit women vis-à-vis socio-economic problems of Andhra Pradesh. The disadvantages of caste, class gender and the exclusionary mechanism entrenched hierarchical social relations have had differential outcomes for Dalit women in our society. The constitution of India is enriched with several provisions for schedule castes to safeguard and promote their cultural, social, educational, and economic status in order to bring them in the mainstream of the nation. This paper also explores, who are living outside the mainstream of the society due to their lower social and economic status. The caste-based stratification of the society adversely affected the equality of opportunities to the disadvantage of these groups. It also examined the demerits of caste attached to the present scheduled castes in general and scheduled caste women in particular. The scheduled caste women are disadvantaged by their caste and gender and as such they are subject to exploitation and discrimination by their family members, by their caste people and by forward castes. The female feticide, illiteracy, gender inequality, different types of violence, dowry, child marriage, etc are few of the problems faced by scheduled caste women in present society. Apart from, this paper addresses the socio economic status of the Dalit women in Andhra Pradesh as well as in India.

The Effect of EPS rich PGPR cells viz., vegetative cell application, co-inoculation and cofloculation Pseudomonas fluorescens and Azospirillum together with challenge inoculation of Pyricularia oryzae on the enhancement of induced systemic resistance (ISR) in Rice-Pyricularia oryzae pathosystem was studied under pot culture condition with rice cv.IR.50. It was observed that the application of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Azospirillum as co-floculation, altered the biochemical and physiological parameters viz., reducing and non-reducing sugars, total phenol content and defense enzymes activities such as peroxidase (PO), Polyphenol oxidase (PPO), of rice plant to a significant level followed by co-inoculation and vegetative cell application of PGPR cells. The application of PGPR cells, as co-floculation, was found to augment the total phenol content and defense enzyme activities such as PO and PPO content of rice plant to a higher level whereas a reduction in reducing and non-reducing sugar level was recorded, which ultimately lead to a reduction of Pyricularia oryzae incidence in lowland rice. It has been postulated that the EPS biosynthesis of PGPR cells during co-floculation processes might act as elicitor for the enhancement of ISR in Rice- Pyricularia oryzae pathosystem whereas the vegetative cells and co-inoculation processes, without any involvement of EPS, responded poorly for the enhancement of ISR in the same pathosystem. This is the first comprehensive report on the role of bacterial EPS, as a determinant of ISR, in Rice - Pyricularia oryzae pathosytem and it needs further elaborate research on the topic.

Most developing countries like India across the world have recognized the importance of facilitating international trade for the sustained growth of the economy and increased contribution to the GDP of the nation. As a part of its continuing commitment to liberalization and to trigger larger flow of foreign and domestic investment for the generation of additional economic activity and creation of employment opportunities, government of India started promoting export oriented industrial parks. Land use and Land cover change is one of the main driving forces of global environmental changes and central to the sustainable development debate. Understanding landscape patterns, changes and interactions between human activities and natural phenomenon are essential for proper land management and decision improvement. Land use gives an over view of how different patches of lands are being utilized under various anthropogenic activities. Nimrana, in recent years has been witnessing significant land use changes. While there is a progressive decline in area under Aravali Hills and fallow land, built up areas are increasing. These all changes have come mainly as results of industrialization. The study is based on Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 imageries, owing to their good spectral and temporal resolution and moderate spatial resolution.

This research includes the evaluation of the possible and important use of Moringa Oleifera seed for calcium hardness removal from synthetic hardwater. Synthetic hard water which varied from 300ppm to 900ppm as calcium hardness has been used in this research. There are many techniques for hardness determination but Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrophotometry has proved its accuracy and quickness in terms of hardness determination, and due to this (ICP-OES OPTIMA 5300 DV) instrument has been used for calcium hardness determination. Almost complete reduction was found with the lower initial concentrations and overall reduction in hardness decreases with increasing the initial hardness. It is clearly observed that increasing dosages of Moringa Oleifera from 200mg/l to 1200mg/l increases the reduction in calcium hardness as CaCO3 from its initial hardness of 300ppm to 900ppm. The Moringa Oleifera has also been proved as a quite acceptable natural coagulant especially in developing countries.

The role of financial development in the growth of nations has been long recognized (Schumpeter 1911; Gershenkron 1962). Large number of literature, both theoretical and empirical, has come up on this issue over the years.

Internet comes to the mind of anyone who required some information of the first instance. Internet is considered as the prime source of every kind of information. Most Internet access products were being marketed using the term "broadband", and broadband penetration was being treated as a key economic indicator. Receiving and sending e-mails continues to be the most pervasive use of the Internet on mobile devices with 70 percent using an e-mail program installed on their mobile device or via the website of an e-mail provider (60 percent). Phone or video calls via Internet ranks as the top activity Host of utilities such as messaging through social media, blogging and tweeting, and watching videos are also on the rise. The frequency of these activities is also trending upwards. In today's higher education, the Internet is indispensable in creating, storing, and disseminating information and knowledge. Mobile Internet in India report prefer to access newspapers and related content on their mobile screens. Internet usage through mobile devices (excluding tablets), has almost doubled in the last one year. From 4.3% in January 2011, the figure grew to 8.5% as on January, 2012. However, the Indian usage figures are higher than global stats. The figures have grown from just 18.8% in 2011 to an impressive 42.25% in 2012

The Hindu social system is socio-religious. The social institutions are intimately connected with religion. The religious books, the repository of social codes, are considered to be of divine origin. This system is infallible and indisputable to the majority. The society is so rigidly graded that those at the top of the social ladder—the Brahmins are inalienably vested with the authority of learning, teaching and interpreting the shastras, By distorting the interpretation of the shastras and stamping the later accretions with divinity, they ascribe to themselves congenital superiority, which has resulted in an intricate, illogical and irreligious system of descending inferiority and ascending superiority complexes in the society. The caste system, intended originally for social cohesion, and as a device for labour division is inelastic and birth based. It has given rise to innumerable endogamous groups and to a section regarded as outcaste, unsociable and untouchable. Such a social system militates against any change even through an evolutionary process. It resulted in the pathetic condition of the dalits and a strict observance of unotouchablity for centuries in Tamil Nadu.

Grape is the most important fruit of India and scientifically is called Vitis vinifera L. and is also known as 'queen of fruits'. The country has the distinction of achieving the highest productivity of grape among the 90 grape growing countries in the world, with an average yield of 30 t/ha. The grape is cultivated in the largest area i.e. 250 thousand ha and the production is around 2689 thousand tons in 2012-2013. Major grape-growing states in India are Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. In India mainly Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu jointly contribute to more than 90 % of the total area and production of grapes. Total export of grapes from India is 172.6 thousand MT, valuing Rs. 1258.64 crores during 2012-13. The grape export from India was started in the year 1991 after economic liberalization. There is a phenomenal rise in export of grapes from India, as only 14,606 tons were exported during 2001-2002 which has increased to 1725999 tons in 2012-2013. The major importing countries of India's grapes were Bangladesh ,Netherland ,UAE ,UK, Rassia , Saudi Arabia ,Thailand ,Sweeden ,New Zealand ,Malaysia ,Australia, Shrilanka and Nepal respectively; these countries alone comprises of around 87% of India's total export of grape.

Ambedkar was being guided by notion of equality, liberty, fraternity and justice – a common theme with which he was looking at both the traditional and contemporary society in India. He had declared, as early as in 1936, about the model of his ideal society to be based on the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. He equated fraternity with democracy and spelt out the nature of an ideal society. Ambedkar observed, “An ideal society should be mobile, should be full of channels for conveying a change taking place in one part to other parts. In an ideal society there should be many interest consciously communicated and shared. There should be varied and free points of contact with other modes of association. In other words there must be social endsmosis. This is fraternity, which is only another name for democracy. Democracy (added)_ is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially and attitude of respect and reverence towards fellowmen.” With its meaning, the fraternity assures the dignity of an individual and the unity and integrity of a nation. Such fraternal relationship is a need of the day not only in India but the world over especially when there prevail tensions and chaos in the life of human beings everywhere.

The tourism potential of our country, especially in a global context, remains far from realized. Towards realization of this potential, the Ministry of Tourism envisages a target of 12% growth rate in inbound as well as domestic tourists for the 12th Five year Plan period. It is projected that with this growth rate, the sector will generate 2.5 crore additional jobs. ( Angappapillai, A B; Shanmugasundram, N). India's travel market is projected to grow 18% in 2013 to reach $23.2 billion, faster than last year's 11% pace, helped by increased train fares, fleet expansion by airlines and new supply of hotel rooms, according to travel research firm PhocusWright Inc.(mint, 2013) Therefore, in response to the needs of the industry, training providers have established a number of hotel, leisure, travel and tourism degrees (O'Mahony & Sillitoe, 2001).But past references have identified that hotel courses lack the rigor to provide quality manpower (Harkison, 2004a, 2004b; Steele; 2003). Hotel management students seem to rate the value of their degrees higher than do employees in the industry (Dawson Mary, 2008). As such there always seem to be bridge between what the hotel management students and the assumption of the hotel Industry

The battle for gender justice has been a long-drawn struggle. Unequal status of women being offensive to human dignity and violation of women right has emerged today as a fundamental crisis in human development in the world today. India is no exception. The legislature framework provided in the Constitution provides for equality in society between men and women. In order to fulfill this Constitutional mandate the Parliament and Judiciary have from time to time made laws and interpreted the existing ones that would guarantee gender justice. Despite constitutional guarantees of justice, social, economic and political, and assurances of a life of freedom, equality and dignity, sexual abuse, dowry deaths, bigamy and other heinous crime are ravaging the lives of millions of women who remain a prey to predator in the form of husbands, relatives or friends.

The concept of Vocational Education, which has become highly relevant today, was introduced in India just after independence. It offers specialized and practical knowledge through which an individual gains skills and experiences directly linked to a career and thereby gives way to better employment opportunities. A proper implementation of vocational education will help in patching the gap between the skilled workers required and the skilled workers available in the job-market which in turn will solve the problem of unemployment. Increasing 'internationalization' has made English a 'global resource'. It has become the common means of communication. It has become prime consideration in almost every job and essential for social and career advancement. With this growing demand of English, 'Communicative English' or 'Communication Skills' becomes very relevant and important as a course of vocational education. The need of time is a careful planning, successful implementation and social awareness.

Homosexual activities are criminalized by the law and it is a punishable criminal offence in India. The decriminalization of homosexuality by the Delhi High Court now is a myth in India. The Supreme Court of India has overturned a “reading down” of Section 377 of Indian Penal Code and refuse to review their existing decision. This paper focuses on the process and aftermath of reading down of Section 377 of IPC, which is directly hindering the basic sexual rights of LGBT community. The lack of a consent-based distinction in the offence has made same-sex preference synonymous to rape and equated homosexuality with sexual perversity. This decision directly strikes out the disclosure of LGBT people, effective health policy to prevent HIV and will increase harassments and psycho-social pressures. It is the biggest affront to the dignity and humanity of LGBT community in India. However, this article suggests initiating Indian Parliament and politicians to take some positive steps beyond their stipulated political boundaries. This paper also suggests civil rights' organizations to move more systematically for further recognition of same-sex rights.

In recent years, India has recorded very much impressive rates of economic growth. For provide the more ambitious achievements in the future. The healthy economic growth rate exceeding the current rate of about 8% per annum would require major provision of infrastructure and enhanced supply of energy. The high economic growth rate would create much more demand for energy. This would present the country with a variety of choices in terms of supply possibilities. For the country, technology would be an important element of future strategy of energy. Because, related to a range of future demand and supply scenario would be issues of technological choices both on the supply and demand sides, which need to be understood at this stage, if they are to become an important part of India's energy solution in the future. The Indian government aims to achieve an economic growth rate of over 8% in the next two decades in order to be able to meet its development objectives. However, rapid economic growth would also imply the need for structural changes in the economy as well as for induced shifts in the patterns of endues demands. To meet the needs of the Indian populace in the most effective manner, it is important to map out the energy demand and supply dynamics in the country.

Nelson Mandela says, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head if you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart. The aim of every communication, including translational communication, is to convey information about human beings and the extra linguistic reality which surrounds them. A translator is to extract message from a given form of words in one language, and then to re-express the content of that message in a different form of words belonging to another language. According to social scientist, culture consists of shared ideas and concepts, beliefs, and material possessions of a society what are passed on from one generation to the next. The process of translation involves not just two languages but also two cultures. So a translator should be both bilingual and bicultural. Every text either written or spoken is the result of extra linguistic situation. It is determined by its cultural, historical and social contexts. Every translation is the process of conveying messages across both linguistic and cultural time.

This paper is an attempt to analyse the shape of contemporary food crisis in a way that is less recognized in the literature. Food speculation is a widely held reason behind the current food price crisis, and yet not everybody's take on it is similar. Arguments both for and against exist; however not all the arguments seem to be substantiated enough on either side. So, this paper first briefly elaborates the various contrasting views with respect to the recent food price crisis. Then it explains how the people of the global South lost control over their food systems and hence became most vulnerable to any of the shocks. The seminal role of speculation amidst the whole discussion of food crisis is discussed thereafter The paper thus gives food speculation the necessary attention it deserves in the whole debate of food crisis.

The culture and civilization of a nation, it is a truism to point out the are inextricably bound up with the goal of knowledge aimed at, the methods of instruction propounded, and finally the actual standard of education reached by it. Thus, education so to speak, is the very heart of a nation, around which pulsate its other multifarious activities and achievements, from which spring its very life and sustenance, through which is manifested its inner vigour and vitality what is great and good, noble and sublime in it. Accordingly, the study of a nation's soul means really the study of its educational aims and ideals, methods and systems achievements and perfections.

The emerging economies such as BRICS excluding China are experiencing trade as well as current account deficits in the recent years. The countries such as India, Brazil, Russia and South Africa are facing persistingdeficits while China hassurpluses mainly because of its export performance and capital inflows. BRICS as a group has experienced deficits in its trade surplus during the study period, 1990-2011. Sustaining trade deficits is important in sustaining the phenomenal economic growth in these countries. This is possible only when exports and imports of these countries are cointegrated and the causal connection runs between exports and imports. The present paper is an attempt to verify the cointegrated relationship between exports and imports ofBRICS. The empirical results based on panel data unit root testsand cointegration testsuggest that the exports and imports of BRICS as a group are cointegratedsupporting the sustainable trade deficits hypothesis.The results based on cointergration regressionusing FMOLS and DOLS methods suggest that Husted's (1992)hypothesis has been proved.This implies the adjustmentbehaviour of exports towards imports in these countries in the long run. In view of this empirical findingit may be concluded that the present macro and trade policies have been effective in attainingthe equilibrium between exports and imports andBRICS as a group should continue with itspresenttradeand macroeconomic policies.

Ultrasonic velocities of binary liquid mixtures of methyl benzoate with 1-nonanol are measured at 3 MHz frequency using ultrasonic interferometer at 303.15K,308.15K,313.15K and 318.15K over the entire range of composition. Theoretical values of ultrasonic velocity have been evaluated at the four temperatures using Nomoto's relation, Ideal mixture relation, Impedance relation, Rao's specific velocity relation and Junjie's method. Theoretical values are compared with the experimental values and U2exp/U2IMR is evaluated for non-ideality in the mixtures. A good agreement has been found between experimental and theoretical values of ultrasonic velocity. The relative applicability of these theories to the present systems has been checked and discussed. The results are explained in terms of molecular interactions occurring in these binary liquid mixtures.

Indeed, crisis, absurdities and meaninglessness of existence have been central themes in the writings of the Existential Philosophers. There are, of course, many such philosophers who have been dealing with these themes. Given the limitations, it is not feasible for me to deal elaborately with all of these. Hence, I, hereby, contend with the major writings of three persons whom I consider principal personalities of the said philosophy. They are jean Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and Friedrich Nietzsche. These three are known for their stringent depiction of the existence and essence of human reality. Further, these philosophers are known for their objectivity though due to the given nature of existence they sometimes tend to lean more towards atheism and pessimism.

This research examines the effect of brand name and celebrity endorsement on consumers purchasing decisions regarding fashion products. A significant analysis has been undertaken using a qualitative approach and theoretical inputs from related articles that describe the core nature of the study. Detailed interviews were conducted with seven respondents in Manchester in order to explore their attitudes and opinions towards brand image and celebrity endorsement and assess their influence on consumers purchasing decisions of fashion products. It was found that brands give feeling of satisfaction but their iconic representation and functional superiority was not found. Additionally, celebrities are very helpful to give attention to brand but they cannot guarantee final purchase preference.

For every sports person Nutritional Health is essential in order to be able to perform to his or her maximum ability. Nutrition is the process of getting food into our body and using it as raw materials for growth, fuel for energy, and vitamins and minerals that keep the body healthy and functioning properly. The foods that we eat provide the energy to the body that needs to function. Just like we need to put fuel to the car or recharge the cell phone battery, the body needs to be fed energy-providing foods every day. The main form of energy for our body is carbohydrates.

Human rights are held by all persons equally, universally, and forever. Human rights are those basic standards without which people cannot live in dignity. To violate someone's human rights is to treat that person as though she or he were not a human being. Mulk Raj Anand is one of the few prolific Indian writers in English who have earned a good name as major novelists. He still continues to enjoy the reputation of being a stalwart in the field of Indian writing in English. Perhaps no other writer has been so intensely and actively associated with literary creation, with arts and with the cultural mainstream of the country as Anand has. His novels and stories are read and admired all over the world. All his novels deal with the underprivileged sections of Indian society. The most recurrent theme in his novels that strikes the reader is his treatment of the oppressed and suppressed classes of society. His subject is man. It is this kind of Anand's love of humanism, a principle of all embracing humanity, and his immediate and ultimate concerns as a writer and passionate sincere sympathy for the downtrodden sections that continually inspire and stimulate him to write continuously and prolifically. In Untouchable, human rights appeared to be restricted to those who control the civil society based on religious interpretations and the political regime. Hinduism prevents the Hindus from touching the sweepers or even touching anything a sweeper has touched. For example, in Untouchable we see the confectioner throws the "jalebis" to Bakha and his assistant splashes water on the nickel coins Bakha has placed on the shoe-board. Furthermore, human rights are denied and abused because of the social and religious structure in India during that time. The high castes Hindus are given the authority to degrade the lower-caste.

Development of irrigation is of crucial importance in improving the agricultural growth dam, canal, tank, rantek, kata, phad and bhanadaras irrigation being based on surface water is an environmentally sustainable from of irrigation. As the scope of well irrigation is very low in the dry zones, verities irrigation assumes great importance in these regions. The paper explores the different characteristics of damp, canals & tank irrigation in some dry zones in the Maratha empire. Attempts to find the factors affecting the productivity of the verities irrigation command area. The leads of the paper suggest that tank damp & canals productivity depends on various factors like crop diversification, water availability in all damp ,canal , tanks quality of the soil and length in damp, canal, tank rantek, kata, phad andbhanadaras, command area and to restrict the expenditure on maintenance and repairs.

Since last decade Mediterranean region has recorded the highest growth rates in inbound world tourism. In the same duration, domestic tourism in this region also increased rapidly, in spite of security threats, natural calamities, rises in oil prices and economic uncertainties in the Mediterranean region. Even the 2008 global economic crisis had no serious impact on this growth. It has been confirmed that the flexibility of tourism and the huge potential in this region. Despite of the economic crises in the main source market European Union, it resumes gradually democratisation process. Year 2011 was the magical year for Tourism industry in the Mediterranean region and registered approx 306 million international tourist arrivals. It was one third of the international tourist flow world wide. This paper looks at whether this trend will continue in coming years. The paper will also explore the opportunities for tourism in this region. This paper tries to examine the tourism impacts, especially in an economic, social and environmental perspective. Secondary source is the prime source for collecting the relevant information this paper.

Proper alignment of body and its segments is Posture. Balanced alignment provides a body appearance which when viewed from the side, is vertical rather than zigzag, the various body masses joining smoothly in symmetry. The erect position is maintained by a constant effort to overcome the force of gravity, which all the time tends to pull the body forward, but deviation from the alignment may cause various physical difficulties. Disproportion in height and weight, disturbance of physiological functions, nutritional faults and physical stresses on the growing skeleton all may affect the growth and development of a child. New York state posture rating test (1966) was used for the present study, in which.....

Cloud computing has recently emerged as an innovative paradigm for hosting and delivering services over the net. Cloud computing is engaging to business organizations because it eliminates the need for users to arrange ahead for provisioning, and permits enterprises to begin from the little and increase resources only if there's an increase in service demand. However, despite the actual fact that cloud computing offers immense opportunities to the IT business, the event of cloud computing technology is presently at its infancy, with several problems still to be addressed. During this paper, we tend to present a survey of cloud computing, highlighting its key ideas, subject principles, progressive implementation also as analysis challenges. The aim of this paper is to supply a more robust understanding of the planning challenges of cloud computing and determine vital analysis directions during this progressively vital area.

Recent trend of declining sustainability in agricultural production is appearing as a major threat to most of the Asian countries. Large scale availability of conventional organic manures being a big problem nowadays, major attention is being paid on recycling of different kinds of organic wastes for this purpose. Apart from abatement of environmental pollution, such reuse of organic wastes in agriculture helps in the improvement of various physical, chemical and biological properties of the soils and, thus, helps in sustaining the soil health. However, due to some short comings of traditional composting systems, the technology of recycling of organic wastes has not been widely accepted so far. Under this situation, vermicomposting has recently emerged as a simple but efficient biotechnology for recycling wide ranges of organic wastes with the help of some specific groups of earthworms. In view of the growing popularity of this biotechnology, various aspects of waste recycling in agriculture through vermicomposting have been dealt in this communication.

The word 'coalition has long been used in ordinary English to refer to a group of people who come together temporarily to obtain some end. Typically, a coalition has been regarded as a parliamentary or political grouping less permanent than a party or faction or an interest group. Recently however, the word has acquired a technical significance in social silence theories with the elaboration of the theory of n-person games. The notion of coalition formation is central to this theory, since coalitions 1 are the characteristics form of social organization by which the outcomes of such games are determined. The coalitions are the product of politics in a preliminary democracy. It is a phenomenon of multiparty 2 government where a number of minority parties join hand for the purpose of running the government .

The strength or weakness of constitutional morality in contemporary India has to be understood in the light of a cycle of escalating demands from the people and the callous response of successive governments to those demands. In a parliamentary democracy, the obligations of constitutional morality are expected to be equally binding on the government and the opposition. In India, the same political party treats these obligations very differently when it is in office and when it is out of it. This has contributed greatly to the popular perception of our political system as being amoral. Constitutional morality, apart from its own intrinsic importance, is a subject on which Dr. B. R. Ambedkar spoke through which governments are held accountable to the electorate. The paper uses the parliamentary form of government which evolves through Acts, Conventions, etc., and the level of democracy in India. The paper has examined in detail the topical aspects of parliamentary democracy in India, detailing the precedents, controversies which had arisen from time to time and the working solutions found or alternately amendments made to the delimitation process which are more democratic means of representation, distribution of the seats according to the 2001 census in India. There have been some misconceptions about the working of the delimitation process in the country in some states in case of reservation of seats to SCs, STs, etc., Finally remedies for deliberations along with any other needed corrections for action by the Legislature, Election Commission, and the Government are discussed.

The natural history and pathogenic potential of the recently identified TT virus (TTV) are currently a matter of intensive investigation. In an attempt to shed some light on these issues, nasal and blood specimens of 1- to 24-month-old children hospitalized with a clinical diagnosis of acute respiratory disease (ARD) were examined for the presence of TTV. The results have indicated that at least in young children, the respiratory tract not only represents a route by which abundant TTV can be shed into the environment but also may be a site of primary infection and continual replication. Serum total IgE, blood eosinophil count as well as serum eosinophil cationic protein (sECP) were also assessed in this study for all the children included in the study. The difference was found to be statistically significant in the level of total IgE as well as sECP between children having positive TTV infection and those having negative infection whereas the difference was not statistically significant in case of blood eosinophil count. In conclusion, the elevated serum concentrations of ECP in patients with TTV infection may be associated with damaged respiratory epithelium and accelerated hypersensitivity in the respiratory system, which may cause chronic persistent cough for several months. Decreasing the serum level of ECP might play a role in relieving the symptoms of ARD. Additional studies are warranted to further validate this conclusion.

The effects of chilling treatments and darkness durations on seed germination and seedling growth of Egyptian husk tomato (Physalis pubescens L.)"Balady" cv. was investigated. The experiment consisted of two parts; firstly the seeds of the tested cultivar were incubated for chilling in the refrigerator at 4°C for ( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days); second seeds were germinated in test tubes contained ten seeds and incubated in the darkness by covering them with aluminum foil each ,for 3, 6, 9 ,12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30 days at 25 ±1°C ; then they exposed to light (16 hrs.) for further 3-5 days. The obtained results indicated significant enhancement of germination percentage at 27days of darkness and 2 days at 4°C. The present study has demonstrated the advantages of chilling the seeds in darkness before subjected to light in order to reduce the long germination period of Egyptian husk tomato. Notably, as soon as the covered seeds were exposed to light, they have been germinated immediately. A protocol was developed for caulogenesis and regeneration for the Egyptian husk tomato Balady cv. Hypocotyl and leaf explants were used as a starting material for callus induction. Maximum caulogenesis from hypocotyls and leaf explants were obtained on MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.000 to 4.000 mg/l) in combinations with NAA at 0.250 mg/l

In today's business world environmental issues plays an important role in marketing. All most all the governments around the world have concerned about green marketing activities that they have attempted to regulate them. There has been little attempt to academically examine environmental or green marketing. It introduces the terms and concepts of green marketing, briefly discuss why going green is important and also examine some of the reason that organizations are adopting a green marketing philosophy. It also focuses some of the problems with green marketing.

Highly wheat production in Egypt is constrained due to many diseases. Rust and stripe (yellow) rust diseases consider from the most important wheat diseases in Egypt. Thus, molecular screening of genetically resistant cultivars, varieties, accessions and hybrids offspring through many generations, is one of the most sustainable solutions to overcome these diseases. The objective of this study is screening strip (yellow) rust and leaf rust resistance genes in the three parents varieties, and F5 bread wheat families resulting from two hybrids: (Debeira x Sahel1) and (Sids6 x Sahel1). This was established by using Yr10 and Yr15 SSR markers for screening (yellow) rust resistance genes, and Lr9, Lr19, Lr24 and Lr26 as STS and SCAR markers for screening leaf rust resistance genes. The obtained results showed that, none of the studied wheat families had all the screened resistance genes. Where, families resulting from (Debeira x Sahel1) did not have any of the studied rust resistance genes. While, the families resulting from (Sids6 x Sahel1) had both SSR markers except family no. 22 had Yr10 only. For the Lr genes, all the studied families of both hybrids had the Lr9 resistance gene. There were variations between families in having the Lr19 resistance gene. The SCAR marker for Lr24 resistance gene was found in Debeira parent and families no. 17, 18,20 ,24 ,30 and 39 of its hybrid. No bands of this marker were found in any of the parents or families of (Sids6 x Sahel1) hybrid. Finally the Lr26 STS marker was not found in any of the studied bread wheat families.

Background: Nicotine, major toxic component of cigarette smoke, is considered to be the main risk factor in the development of pulmonary diseases Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphological, biochemical and immunological changes in albino rats following intraperitoneal injection of nicotine. The possible protective effect of curcumin was also evaluated. Material and Methods: The study included three groups, the first served as control. The second was injected with nicotine (2.5mg/ kg body weigh) for eight weeks. The third group was injected with nicotine as the second group in addition to curcumin (80mg/kg body weight) for also eight weeks. Results: Injection with nicotine resulted in replacement of air sacs in lung tissue by connective tissue full of large number of inflammatory cells and red cells. Respiratory bronchioles were disrupted and their lumen was closed with acidophilic material. Biochemically increased Malondialdehyde (MA) and nitric oxide (NO) and decreased reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (Ca) were documented. Immunologically, nicotine was an important immuno-suppressive constituent of cigarette smoke. The previous results were improved in curcumine treated group indicating its protective role against the oxidative stress .Conclusion: We concluded that, consumption of curcumine to smokers can protect against lung hazards
