The experiment carried out on voltage and current measurement on TTL logic gates, by the students of electrical and information engineering in the final year of their studies, in the department’s laboratory, which help to understand the voltage and current characteristics of TTL gates and how also how to measure the voltage and current values of TTL gates. This experiment basically shows how voltage and current of TTL gate can be measured. KL- 22001 Basic Electrical/Electronic Circuit lab and KL-26001 Combinational Logic Circuit experiment module are the major equipment used to perform the experiment .These were used because it is much more self-explanatory and easier to work with compared other models. It was discovered that Due to its higher resistance value the LS series, TTL gates have lower input current than the standard series TTL gates. Their output currents are about equal.

Newly designed 2-azetidinone derivatives (4a-e) were synthesized in good yields and characterised by advanced spectroscopic studies. The title compounds were evaluated for qualitative (zone of inhibition) by agar diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes. Some of the analogues were found to have comparable or even more potency than the standard drugs. Docking study was performed to check interaction of synthesized compounds with the target DNA gyrase.

In this paper, we employ Multiple Linear Regression Model to fit a model of Gross Domestic Product Per Capita of Nigeria using some World Development Indicators (WDI) as explanatory variables. Data were collected from 1981 to 2013. The five WDI are OER-Official Exchange Rate (LCU Per US$, Period Average), BM-Broad Money (% of GDP), INF-Inflation, GDP deflator (Annual %), TNR-Total Natural Resources Rents (% of GDP) and FDI-Foreign Direct Investment, Net Inflows (% of GDP).At the end of the analysis it was discovered that the OER and BM are statically significant while INF, TNR and FDI are not statistically significant. The average estimated GDP per capita of Nigeria when the effect of OER, BM, INF, TNR and FDI are zero is $-360.81. Also, 1 unit increase in OER-Official Exchange Rate (LCU Per US$, Period Average) will lead to a significant increase in GDP per capita by $4.42 (4.42USD); if BM-Broad Money (% of GDP) increases by 1% then GDP per capita will increase by $25.17; if INF-Inflation, GDP deflator (Annual %) increases by 1% then GDP per capita will decrease by $0.08; if TNR-Total Natural Resources Rents (% of GDP) increases by 1% then GDP per capita will decrease by $0.63 and if FDI-Foreign Direct Investment, Net Inflows (% of GDP) increases by 1% then GDP per capita will increase by $13.52. (Note: All the estimated parameters are significant at 5% without exception). 71.1% of the total variation in GDP per capita of Nigeria can be explained by the variations in OER-Official Exchange Rate (LCU Per US$, Period Average), BM-Broad Money (% of GDP), INF-Inflation, GDP deflator (Annual %), TNR-Total Natural Resources Rents (% of GDP) and FDI-Foreign Direct Investment, Net Inflows (% of GDP) while the remaining 28.9% could be explained by other variables other than the ones used in this model.

There are many primitive trust systems which have adopted unique approach for communication in Wireless Sensor Networks. These traditional trust systems do not meet the requirements like maintaining resource efficiency and dependability between nodes in Clustered Wireless Sensor Networks. This is because of their high overhead and low dependability. LDTS (Light-weight and dependable trust system) proposes low communication overhead and makes efficient use of energy resources by proposing light-weight algorithm. Also LDTS (Light-weight and Dependable Trust System) proposes dependable trust system that helps improving system efficiency by reducing effect of malicious nodes. As compared to traditional trust systems LDTS (Light-Weight and Dependable Trust System) demands less memory .So it can be said that LDTS is light weight and dependable trust system for communication in clustered wireless sensor networks.

One psychological factor which has recently gained importance in translation studies is the concept of willingness to translate (WTT). As a new notion, this willingness has not been probed regarding its relationship with translators' personality. Therefore, the present study, at first, focused on the analysis of the relationship between MA students’ three levels of WTT and their personality types, and then in the second step it tried to test this relationship between students’ WTT levels and their eight personality dichotomies. The quantitative data of this study were gathered through the administration of two questionnaires: willingness to translate (WTT) and the Persian version of the Myers Briggs type indicator (MBTI). The first hypothesized relationship was examined via One-Way ANOVA Test. The result demonstrated no relationship between these two variables. On the other hand, for testing this relationship between students’ WTT levels and eight personality dichotomies, a correlation test was applied. The results indicated a weak and positive correlation between Thinking and WTT and a weak and negative correlation between Feeling and WTT. Based on the results, it can be concluded that students’ personality types and dichotomies can have no effect on their three levels of WTT.

Language and Culture are not separately of each other's. Over than 10 decades in the EFL classroom in many countries have been taught Cross-Cultural and also it is emphasis on familiar to culture. Therefore this study reports the effect of teaching Intercultural Competence on Cultural Awareness of EFL learners in English classroom. The data were collected from advance level based on standard Cultural awareness questionnaire to homogenized learners who are selected in both Female and Male. The range of learners who are examined 83 that taught reading text about the different and similarities of both languages in addition in their classroom to improve their cultural awareness, the resulting of this research by Cronchbach shows that it is effecting when familiarize the learners to both Persian and English language. It makes aware to some aspect of mother tongue and target language differs. The SPSS shows that the correlation coefficient between Intercultural and Cultural awareness is positive.

While since a rather long time ago teacher feedback has received a lot of attention in learning a foreign language, quite recently, a gradual but prominent shift has taken place within the field of education, resulting in greater emphasis on learners and learning and less stress on teachers and teaching (Hismanoglu, 2000). An outcome of this event has been more emphasis on language learning strategies (Oxford, 1990). As another sign of increasing emphasis on learners, many studies have focused on the use of journals in EFL classes (Park, 2003). However, the present researcher failed to find any published research on how teacher feedback on EFL students’ journals can contribute to strategies they use for learning English as a foreign language. Thus, this study was conducted to explore contributions of teacher constructive feedback on Iranian EFL students’ journals to their use of language learning strategies. A group of EFL learners received a 3-month treatment of feedback-based journal writing and a control group did not receive any treatment. Prior to and following the treatment, the SILL was administered to the groups. Then, they were required to write journals which were followed by teacher constructive feedback for eight sessions. Pertinent statistical analyses showed that feedback-based journal writing does not have any significant effects on the use of learning strategies by EFL learners. However, longitudinal studies are suggested so that further realities of mental processing can be explored.

Inherent dominating Coulombic interaction of the man-made 1-D carbon nanotubes is influenced by the biotic nanomaterial namely Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that staunchly binds to the SWNTs surface and thus modifies the electronic structure of Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWNTs), as noticed by the optical process of Photoluminescence (PL) using Spectrofluorophotometer. This modification finds several applications in various disciplines & one of its applications of DNA sequence detection in field of biotechnology is observed in present work.

Translating for children has always been crucial perturbation for professional and non-professional translators as Sprachmittlers. This is owing to conjectural vulnerability of this cohort of people in conditions of their world of childhood. When we embark on translating for children, we should bear in mind that a text is not a stable/durable object: it brings along a different response at every reading. Therefore, we are dealing with various readings and also a wide range of interpretations. In this respect, we bring out Skopos Paradigm as for the fulfillment of our intention in translating for children since this paradigm parks more fully-grown the pree of purpose and situation of the clientele (e.g. children). Whatever a story or written form is, when translating for this intended group of people, what matters is the maintenance of function-aim-among possible yet pertained interpretations.

Compulsive disorder is a cognitive process disorder in which individuals experience ideas, beliefs, imagination and unwanted disturbing impulses that make him/her anxietic and is difficult to remove. The prevalence of OCD is 1/9 to 3/2 percent. With the lifetime prevalence of 2/5 percent and six months prevalance of 1/6 percent, obssessive compulsive disorder is the fourth psychiatric problem in the U.S.A. In Iran, in the region of Kashan, the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive disorder is estimated to be 1 percent. Given the importance of the role of the psychological variables in the causation and the severity of the obsessive – compulsive disorder, the role of perfectionism, worry and responsibility variables has been studied in this research. Recognizing the role of these variables (by psycological methods such as logical thinking, responsibility and worry modification)could help taking an important step treating patients with OCD. The present research is aimed to investigate the prediction of the obssessive – Compulsive disorder, according to the positive and negative perfectionism, worry and responsibility. To achieve this aim ,118 students from ardebil azad university took part in an initial research, completing the positive and negative perfectionim inventory and maudsley obssessional and compulsive inventory (MOCCI), AHWAZ worry inventory(AWI) and responsibility attitude scale (RAS). The spss13 software was used to analyse the datas and the relation between the negative and positive perfectionism and OCD, was evaluated by stepwise regression method. The results of this research showed that the positive perfectionism and worry and resposibility had no role in prediction of the obssessive compulsive disorder.in contrast ,negative perfectionism predicted the obssessive compulsive disorder by stepwise regression method(p<0/05).
