Harvesting the benefits of a sensor-rich world presents many data analysis and management challenges. Recent advances in research and industry aim to address these challenges. Modern sensors and information technologies make it possible to continuously collect sensor data, which is typically obtained as real-time and real valued numerical data. Examples include vehicles driving around in cities or a power plant generating electricity, which can be equipped with numerous sensors that produce data from moment to moment. Though the data gathering systems are becoming relatively mature, a lot of innovative research needs to be done on knowledge discovery from these huge repositories of data. The data management techniques and analysis methods are required to process the increasing volumes of historical and live streaming data sources simultaneously. Analysts need improved techniques are needed to reduce an analyst’s decision response time and to enable more intelligent and immediate situation awareness. Faster analysis of disparate information sources may be achieved by providing a system that allows analysts to pose integrated queries on diverse data sources without losing data provenance. This paper proposed to develop abstractions that make it easy for users and application developers to continuously apply statistical modeling tools to streaming sensor data. Such statistical models can be used for data cleaning, prediction, interpolation, anomaly detection and for inferring hidden variables from the data, thus addressing many of the challenges in analysis and managing sensor data. Current archive data and streaming data querying techniques are insufficient by themselves to harmonize sensor inputs from large volumes of data. These two distinct architectures (push versus pull) have yet to be combined to meet the demands of a data-centric world. The input of sensor streaming data from multiple sensor types further complicates the problem.

Ethical accounting concept of business ethics relates directly to transparency, accountability & Corporate Responsibility. The major ethical issues occur in accounting and finance are reporting false income, falsifying documents, allowing or taking questionable deductions, illegally evading income taxes, engaging in frauds etc. Indian Ethos is all about what can be termed as “national ethos”. Self-governance is an abstract concept that refers to several scales of organization. Some degree of consensus decision making is usually involved in any self-governance system, if only because individual members of the group may choose to violate the criteria for invoking outside authority, break the code of silence, or otherwise cause the group to lose its autonomy. The need of the hour is the requirement of ethical accounting regulations and in this research paper tried to relate the Indian ethos for self governance.

This paper presents a queuing model to evaluate the latency associated with file transfers or replications in peer-to-peer (P2P) computer systems. The main contribution of this paper is a modelling framework for the peers that accounts for the file size distribution, the search time, load distribution at peers, and number of concurrent downloads allowed by a peer. We propose a queuing model that models the nodes or peers in such systems as M/G/1/K processor sharing queues. The model is extended to account for peers which alternate between online and offline states. The proposed queuing model for the peers is combined with a single class open queuing network for the routers interconnecting the peers to obtain the overall file transfer latency. We also show that in scenarios with multipart downloads from different peers, a rate proportional allocation strategy minimizes the download times.

SHARON based Furtive packet dropping is a suite of four afflictions misrouting the distance, clone node, and colluding collision that can be easily established against multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. Furtive packet falling interrupts the packet from reaching the target through despiteful behavior at an intermediate node. Nevertheless, the entire vindictive node gives the impression to its neighbors that it performs the morganatic forwarding action. Furthermore a legitimate node comes under intuition. We introduce a protocol called FAWAN that can observe and isolate furtive packet dropping affliction efficiently. FAWAN presents two techniques that can be overlaid on baseline local monitoring: having the neighbors maintain additional information about the routing path, and adding some FAWAN provides an innovative mechanism to better a commute local monitoring by considerably increasing the number of nodes in a neighborhood that can do monitoring.

Industrial education considers the major and strong pillar for expecting education a renaissance to developed and activate new Egypt renaissance after the great revolution on the twenty fifth of January this renaissance will be developed To work on the development and activation anew generation of skilled and trained cadres of human to support factories and supplying elements who posses expertise craft and scientific culture and this is very important as the presence of skilled. Manufacturer basically and integrative with existing of factories and skilled engineer they are two sides of the same coin through them we can achieve leadership and industry progress. The role of the engineer is the design and the role of the specialist of industrial education Is to implement this design on the ground practically. In addition to training staff and to work up elevation their industrial culture and this role is so vital and important for the industrial development. As the specialist of industrial education's functions is teaching, practical and theoretical train for students of industrial secondary schools. As well as the super intermediate of industrial institutes to provide who is suitable to work in factories and job training in all fields. The specialist of industrial education has to work on the training and super vision of training institutions position on the level of the republic to activate its role and revitalization for the provision of train labor and also scientifically and practically qualified the prominent examples of the industrial renaissance are existing in countries like china and India recently these countries joined the G20. The big industrialized countries have moved to set up branches for them in these countries because of the abundance of skilled and trained labor and also cheap labor. At the same time the integration which has been referred to previously.

Seeds bags of Moringa oleifera were transplanted into a field on the Teaching and Research Farm of Ekiti State University, Ado- Ekiti, Nigeria at 30 x 40cm (81,833 plants ha-1), 40 x 60cm (41,667 plant ha-1), 60 x 80cm (20, 833 plant ha-1) and 100 x 100cm (10,000 plants ha-1). Cured poultry manure was applied at 3MT.ha-1 one week before transplanting and thereafter at two month interval. No fertilizer or irrigation was applied throughout the duration of the experiment. Fodder was harvested from the top to tender stems at 60 days after transplanting and fresh and dry weights were measured. Regrowths were harvested at 30-day intervals during the wet (60, 90, 120 and 150 days after transplanting) and dry (210, 240, 270 and 300 days after transplanting) season. Regrowth height was measured at each cutting day and harvesting involved the tender portion of stem. The 30 x 40cm spacing produced the highest fodder yield (14.89 ton ha-1) which was significantly higher than other spacings. Fodder yield in the wet season (7.6MT.ha-1) was significantly higher than that of dry season (2.79MT.ha-1). Also, there was a positive correlation between the fodder yield and the amount of precipitation in all the months under study. However, plant spacing did not significantly affect regrowth height (p> 0.05) of Moringa oleifera in this area. It was therefore concluded that the agronomic potentials of Moringa oleifera is implicated for its use as an alternative feed resource for small ruminants in South Western Nigeria.

A Schiff base ligand derived from salicylaldehyde and 2-aminophenol and its complex of Co(II) were synthesized. The ligand and the complex were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurement, FT-IR and melting point or decomposition temperature measurements. The elemental analysis data show the formation of 1:1 metal to ligand ratio. The experimental data show that the ligand act as a tridentate ligand (ONO). The Schiff base and the complex were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. The complex shows higher activity than the free ligand.

The authors have retrospectively studied 42 cases of tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using large cannulated AO screws, staples and iliac crest graft mixed in treatment of fixed equinovarus deformity of the foot in adult patients. There were 25 men and 17 women aged 22 to 70 (mean, 45) years. All patients were reviewed with an average of 5 years. The operations were performed between 2005 and 2012.Preoperatively, all patients had 50° of the mean calcaneal varus deformity and 75° (60-90°) of equinus deformity on Meary’s radiological. There were 24 idiopathic, 8 post traumatic,6 neurologic associated with IMC,4 polio. Clinical and functional outcome was assessed with the kitaoka score, the x-rays included an AP and lateral view of the ankle and Meary view .Resultats were excellent in 73% , good in 18 % , fair in 9%. X-rays showed 3 nonunions after 2 years and were reported. We noted 2 postoperative cutaneous necrosis; the shortening was an average 2 cm. After a mean follow-up duration of 5±2.93 years; All patients stated that they improvement of pain and function. 40 patients returned to independent ambulation, wearing custom-made shoes with molded insoles. We belive that the tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis should be used to treat the fixed equinovarus deformity in the adult whatever its etiology.

In this era of knowledge-based economy, it has been recognized that industrial competitiveness is determined by the presence of technology-intensive industries so as to produce high value-added products through innovation activities. Meanwhile, transformation of the economic structure in Indonesia has set out its manufacturing industry as a pillar of the national economy. Unfortunately, Indonesia's manufacturing industry output is dominated by low technology intensity industries. Considering the importance of technological learning and technological capability to improve innovation performance, using structural equation modelling, this research attempts to model the relationship of technological learning, technological capability, and innovation performance of Indonesia’s manufacturing industry. The empirical model obtained indicates that Indonesia’s manufacturing firm’s innovation performance is not mainly determined by the whole comprehensive process of technological learning. Innovation performance is also not derived mainly from technological capability building. The technological learning activities are not intended to increase firm’s technological capability but more directly to increase innovation performance. Nevertheless, further study is needed to improve the empirical model and obtain stronger justification

Series of compounds containing s-triazine derivatives were synthesized. The synthetic strategy utilizes cyanuric chloride as a starting material to obtain the several Schiff’s base A(1-5), azetidinone B(1-5) and thiazolidinone C(1-5) viz. condensations and cyclizations. All newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by physical processes (melting points, Thin layer chromatography, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectra) and have been tested for their antimicrobial activity against gram (+)ve and gram (-)ve bacteria and also on different stains of fungi in which some of these derivatives exhibited potential antibacterial and antifungal activity.
