In this paper, the new extended -expansion method is used for constructing the new exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics namely, the (2+1)-dimensional modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. As a result, the traveling wave solutions are expressed in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions. Moreover, these methods could be more effectively used to deal with higher dimensional and higher order nonlinear evolution equations which frequently arise in many scientific real time application fields. It is shown that the method provides a powerful mathematical tool for solving nonlinear wave equations in applied mathematics, mathematical physics and engineering problems.

This paper attempted to explore vocabulary learning strategy use by English Translation students. It also aimed at studying the participants’ level of creativity. Moreover, it attempted to investigate the relationship between students’ vocabulary learning strategy use and creativity. In addition, it tried to examine the impact of students’ level of education and gender on the relationship between their vocabulary learning strategy use and creativity. Sixty four English Translation students took part in the study. The vocabulary learning strategy questionnaire (Jones, 2006) was utilized to investigate the participants’ vocabulary learning strategy use. In order to measure their creativity level, Torrance test of creative thinking (Torrance, 1999) was administered. It was explored that dictionary and social strategies were reported as the most frequent strategies utilized by all students and study preferences were the least frequent ones. The result also showed that the participants displayed a low level of creativity. Their creativity level had no significant relationship with their vocabulary learning strategies except for the guessing strategies (r= .282, P< 0.05). Freshmen and seniors’ level of education did not affect the relationship between the two variables while junior students displayed a significant impact on the relationship between creativity and vocabulary learning strategy use with respect to guessing strategies. Finally, it was explored that gender affected their relationship with regard to guessing strategies and social strategies for females and males, respectively.

The proposed concept of Fpga based design and Implementation of image Architecture Using Xilinx System generator. Recent advances in synthesis tools for SIMULINK suggest a feasible high-level approach to algorithm implementation for embedded DSP systems. An efficient FPGA based hardware design for enhancement of color and grey scale images in image and video processing. The top model – based visual development process of SIMULINK facilitates host side simulation and validation, as well as synthesis of target specific code, furthermore, legacy code written in MATLAB or ANCI C can be reuse in custom blocks. However, the code generated for DSP platforms is often not very efficient. We are implemented the Image processing applications on FPGA it can be easily design.

Effect of glass grid as high tensile strength layer in rigid pavements /runways has been studies using model slabs of low slump value and high strength concrete M40 (40N/mm2) with flexural strength of 4.4 N/ mm2,desighned for 1800kg gross load with 1200 repetition casted over the same sub grade on which runways was to be reconstructed .The slabs after subjected to loads shows that there occurs least number of cracks with less width and propagate to lesser depths and non –continues in nature by the use of glass grids as secondary reinforcement also there is considerable arrest of reflective cracks in case of rigid overlays over cracked pavement.

The global electrical energy consumption is rising and there is a steady increase of the demand on the power capacity, efficient production, distribution and utilization of energy. Power electronics, the technology of efficiently processing electric power, play an essential part in the integration of the dispersed generating stations for higher efficiency and better performance of the power systems. This project deals with the simulation of grid connected inverter for Photovoltaic applications. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique has been adopted for generating pulses for the two level inverter. The entire system comprising of Photovoltaic array (PVA) and two level inverter has been developed in Mat lab-Simulink. The PVA model characteristics including the effects of temperature and solar irradiation change on maximum power point are also presented in this paper. The inverter output has been synchronized with the grid using d-q theory and the power flow is controlled at 200kw. Finally, the inverter has been tested in grid connected mode.

The present study intends to evaluate the haematological parameters among the rural population of Vaijapur tehsil. During a period of four months i.e. June 2011 to September 2011.During this period of four month total number of 800 samples was examined for Haemoglobin deficiency (Anaemia), out of which 381 samples of male and 419 samples of female of different age groups. The percentage being about 65.09% and 84% in both male and female population were anaemic in rural population of Vaijapur tehsil.

The key factor in video processing is the Video Compression (VC) which makes video signal to be processed and stored efficiently. Video compression involves complex algorithms such as Motion Estimation (ME). The hardware implementation of motion estimation has a trade-off between area, speed and Power Dissipation (PD). This paper implements high speed low complexity Variable Block Size Motion Estimation (VBSME) for H.264 standard using verilog coding on Altera Stratix – IV Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) (EP4SGX70DF29C2X) device, using parallel and pipeline timing approach to achieve high speed and the low complexity for High Definition Television (HDTV) system. The proposed work computes all 41 vectors of various block sizes during 180 clock cycles with less complexity using only 46 Processing unit Elements (PEs) and achieves a maximum operating frequency of 486.62 MHz.

In the present study, the defatted successive ethyl acetate and methanol extracts from Trapa natans fruit peel were evaluated for their protective effects on paracetamol-induced liver damage in Wistar albino rats. Serum biochemical parameters viz. serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum alkaline phosphatase (SALP), total protein, bilirubin, cholesterol, triglycerides were evaluated. All biochemical findings indicated that both the test extracts exerted significant hepatoprotective efficacy against paracetamol-induced hepatic damage in rats. The methanol extract was found to be more effective than the ethyl acetate extract. Therefore, from the present study it can be concluded that T. natans fruit peel had remarkable hepatoprotective activity in rats.

What should we do when the customer service is poor or when we buy a faulty product but the store does not let us return it? We should resolve such problems through complaining effectively. Having a good command of grammatical rules and vocabulary of the language is necessary but it is not enough; the ability to produce language that is socially and culturally appropriate is a real asset in settling such problems. This study attempted to compare the pragmatic competence of Iranian EFL learners with that of native speakers of English language when they find it necessary to perform the speech act of complaint. Ten Iranian EFL students of Azad University in Lahijan served as the subjects of this study. The data were collected through comparing the complaint letters written by American native speakers with those by Iranian EFL learners. The responses were analyzed in terms of the main components of complaints. The findings indicated that American native speakers and Iranian EFL learners showed different pragmatic behaviors.

Analytical solution of advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is obtained for one-dimensional semi-infinite porous medium with periodic input boundary and periodic flow velocity. The dispersion coefficient is directly proportional to flow velocity. Laplace Transformation Technique is employing to get the analytical solution with exponentially increasing function of space variable initial condition and periodic input boundary condition. Analytical solution is illustrated graphically.
