The psychophysiological influence of the virtual reality on a human has already been under discussion for a long time. There is an empirical correlation of immersion with hardware and software parameters of the virtual reality such as a frame rate, tracking a head rotation, audio, and interaction methods applied in the virtual reality. On the other side, a deep level of interaction can be explained by activation of similar cognitive structures in the brain and sensory stimuli as in same situation on practice. In this perspective, psychophysiological test is simple model of human activity and could be provided benefit to measuring of performance man-machine interaction with graphic monitor (desktop application) and head-mounted display (in virtual reality). Its key idea is to measuring of human performance in different environments (desktop and virtual reality) by the test for a reaction rate to a movable object with feedback and without. It was shown that effectiveness of man-machine interaction turns out to be higher when using head-mounted display (in virtual reality) than when using a video display (desktop application) independently on the different orders of performing the testing tasks. The data obtained could be provided benefit to modeling training systems in virtual reality and for improving learning performance. The material presented can open new prospects for further research studies. It seems interesting to those who work in the field of usability engineering, training simulation and human-computer interaction.

Open Reusability Benchmark identifies a number of factors that are required to be present in a Learning Object Repository. A repository must comply with these factors to define a comprehensive and openly reusable Learning Object Repository. A number of existing systems that actually use a database of learning objects and their internal architecture is somewhat available are incorporated in this survey. Each of the studied system is then measured on these benchmarks and a critical analysis is performed on the basis of results.

Now a days as very few drugs are coming out of research and development and already existing drugs are suffering the problem of resistance due to their irrational use specifically in case of drugs like antibiotics. Hence, change in the operation is a suitable and optimized way to make the some drug more effective by slight alteration in the drug delivery. Sustained Release is also providing promising way to decrease the side effect of drug by preventing the fluctuation of the therapeutic concentration of the drug in the body. This article contains the basic information regarding sustained-release formulation and also the different types of the same.

Now-a-days employees become the most important assets of the organizations. Organizations spend millions of rupees for their employee’s trainings and developments. But after certain time they quit because of many factors. In present study, we focus on two factors that contribute in this problem i.e. pay and supervisor. This study investigates the relationship of employee’s satisfaction of supervisor and pay with organizational commitment. Data was collected from 157 employees of banking sector. The results show that if employees are satisfied with their pay as well as their supervisor then their commitment towards their organization is strong.

When I was 16 I read an abstract about Ernest Hemingway’s story life and his dead. It disappointed me because I didn’t know why he should kill himself with a shotgun. I was encouraged by this question to find an answer to this question. Now I am 22 years old and being an English student is my key chance! Yes key chance because I’ve made a golden house and there is a door and you should be able to answer to all questions in English to pass the door and enter to the house .So knowing English proficiently is the key of entering. But when I decided to choose this article that why Ernest Hemingway killed himself as the same way that his father had done before him I thought that nobody can answer to this question and probably no one knew him more than himself and non of his friends are alive so what should I do ? After thinking a lot finally I found that he was a man that tried to have another Ernest in his stories like in the story of “Charles”! So who he was? I selected short stories & or excepts by early 20 century American author, Ernest Hemingway, Found background information on Hemingway, provided access to print and electronic resources to collect data an critical comments on the Hemingway’s short stories, and provide some time for the reading of the short stories. Finally I got that there is a character in his short stories that has lots of similarities with his characteristic and he was Nick Adams and in my opinion he is the second Ernest who is not dead and every day that Ernest’s books are printing he is born and shows that Ernest is alive and it means that my key chance is in its exact position and with a little pressure the door will be opened and now I am trying …But this is 1.4 of my complete issue.

The phenomenon of higher urban populations and increasing levels of industrialization in urban cities of the developing world has increased the volumes of solid wastes generated on daily basis. The increasing volumes have largely overwhelmed the containment capacities of city authorities which, hitherto, wielded the exclusive right and responsibility. There has, therefore, been a paradigm shift which has seen the “institutional field” opened up to allow for other non-state providers to augment the efforts of the public sector. Using the Public Choice Theory as a theoretical lens, this paper discusses the main arguments for non-state intervention in the provision of urban sanitation services as a complementary arrangement to that of the public sector. The tripartite stakeholders – state, private sector and non-governmental organizations – have been discussed in this paper with the help of a framework. The paper further discusses in detail, the role of non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations in urban sanitation service provisions as well as the key challenges encountered. The study concludes by highlighting the need for a level playing field and the need for providing recognition to and support for all stakeholders which would go a long way to enhance urban sanitation service provision.

Reading motivation is one of the most important factors, receives the special focus in foreign language teaching. Research has suggested that explicit reading strategies can be taught to students and improving their reading motivation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of reciprocal teaching strategy on reading motivation. Reciprocal teaching strategy consists of four basic reading strategies: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. Cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies are the reciprocal teaching strategies used to enhance students’ reading motivation. This paper will discuss whether ‘reciprocal teaching strategies’ enhance students reading motivation or not. This lack of good reading motivation skill is exacerbated by the central role of reading motivation in higher education success. One solution to this problem of poor reading motivation skill is the explicit teaching strategies. This paper is going to define the key words, reading motivation process, reading strategies, cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies, reading motivation and reciprocal teaching, and state relationship between reciprocal teaching and reading motivation. The findings indicated that reciprocal teaching had a significantly positive effect on the English reading motivation.

The purpose of this research is to study the development of SKPT Saumlaki in fishery priority sector. The research method used is descriptive quantitative and literature review. The data used are secondary data published by BPS-Statistics of West Southeast Maluku (MTB) and Maluku Province. Fisheries is an important sector and can be developed in improving people's islands welfare. Therefore, need efforts to increase the production with the infrastructure and facility development in Saumlaki Fishery Centre.

In the present study, we report a theoretical study on molecular structure, electronic and thermodynamical properties of 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole tautomers by using density functional theory (DFT) methods employing B3LYP exchange correlation with different basis;6-311,6-311++, and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The Synchronous Transit-Guided Quasi-Newton (STQN) method was used to locate the transition structures. The reactants and products were fully optimized at the DFT level of theory using 6-311++G (d,P) basis set in gas phase and the equilibrium constant and rate of reaction were calculated. Global descriptors such as ionization energy (I), electron affinity (EA), molecular hardness (?), chemical potential (?), electrophilicity (?), and frontier molecular energy gaps (?Eg) were determined and used to identify the differences in the reactivity of reactant and product. The bond lengths of transition state were lie between the reactant and product. From the values of ?, ? and ? suggested that product is more energetically stable and less reactive, that reactant is more electronegative than the product and reactant is a good electrophile and product is a good nucleophile.

Life is a journey. The way time flies. Three decades of academics, research and charity packed life. From 1984 – 2014 the pedestal has been on to shape tropical agriculture, capture temperate agriculture, and serve humanity in all spheres of life. Most rewarding is the metamorphosis in academics and charity at local and cross-country levels. There can be no better tribute to my lecturers, supervisors, students, bosses, schools, colleges and universities than to review this personal three decades of experimentation in tropical Nigeria.
