This research study investigated the effects of captioned and non-captioned movies on learning vocabulary of Iranian English learners. Sixty pre-intermediate Iranian male and female students aged between15-18 took part in this research study. They were divided into two groups: control and experimental group. The control group was exposed to non-captioned movie and the experimental group was exposed to captioned movie. The video clip was called “Victorious” which was created by Dan Schneider in 2010. The students were shown one part of this clip and asked to focus on sentences and vocabularies. Before watching the movies, they were given a standard test of proficiency, Oxford Placement Test (OPT). After determining their level and before watching the film, the students were given a test on the vocabularies based on captions as a pre-test to make sure they didn't know the words. After watching the movie, they were given a 80 target vocabulary items. Based on inferential statistics, the findings showed that the experimental group who was exposed to captioned movie outperformed the non-captioned group.

This study investigated the relationship between operational auditing The Government Accountability Supreme Audit Court of Auditors is the view. The study population included 1072 persons, the official technical expert computing the whole country Court of Auditors to the Auditor General In 1389 are working in this field. 330 people in this study using simple random sampling As the sample is selected. Using survey data gathered with data and raw data into meaningful And values for each variable using data from the questions it has been calculated Using SPSS software Considering both descriptive statistics and the statistics And inferential statistics Has been processed and analyzed. For data analysis of two test T-TEST Correlation test was used. Results confirm the existence of the relationship between operational audit on government accountability Supreme Audit Court of Auditors is the view.

In this study, a new approach is proposed for modeling power transformers internal faults by using transmission line model (TLM) and also presented a method to forecasting these kinds of faults by monitoring the effect of partial discharges on transformer primary side current. These monitoring actions boost the reliability of power system. Simulating and detecting loop to loop and loop to ground faults between the desired Transformer’s coil wires in early stages is advantage of this method. Finally, Transformers TLM is implemented with Matlab for observing this method. Simulation results verified application of proposed modeling technique for studying and detecting power transformers different short-circuit faults conditions.

In this paper fuzzy soft mapping, fuzzy soft continuity on family of soft sets are introduced. Equivalent conditions related these concepts are proved. The famous Urysohn lemma and Tietze Extension theorem are established in fuzzy soft setting.

Anatomical features of infected wood of teak (Tectona grandis) were investigated in this study. Mistletoe-infected trees were sectioned and examined under a light microscope in order to ascertain the extent of infestation of the parasite, especially the haustoria, on the wood species. Wood micrographs of healthy Tectona grandis were presented, while photomicrographs of the infested wood sections revealed patches of deposits which were noticeable at the tangential section in the parenchyma cells. Upon examination and in comparison to sections from healthy Tectona grandis, it was observed that the deposits might have been as a result of the wood response to the infestation of the parasite (mistletoe). The materials which seemed to plug part of the rays were associated to the parasite activities in the wood rays, as the areas mostly infected were the parenchyma cells where food materials are normally stored in wood. The study revealed that impact of Mistletoes goes beyond the peripheral of the bark region but further into the host wood microstructures.

This study investigated the employee retention dependency on predictor variables like training program, incentive programme, co-worker social support, working hours and union representation. For this purpose data have collected from individuals in four banks and government employee who are living in government colonies in Pakistan. Total population was approximately 550 and sample size 226 has been used for collecting data. The regression test is used to check dependency of employee retention on predictor variables. the result of the study indicate that employee retention depend more on incentive program, union representation, co-worker social support, and less on working hours and supervisory program. However incentive program is more significant predictor variable for employee retention than other variable.

The cohesive zone model (CZM) can be regarded as a computational model which provides valuable insights in the prediction of crack initiation and propagation. The concept behind this model considers the process of fracture as a gradual phenomenon in which separation takes place between two adjacent virtual surfaces across an extended crack tip. The role of the CZM in analyzing the crack propagation in different materials and variations in the traction separation law(TSL) are covered in a detailed manner in this paper.

The purpose of the study is to test empirical and conceptualization of women consumer assessment of brand image, brand attitude and quality of a two-wheeler, which is considered as a durable product. The researcher’s interest to know the degree to which women’s preference varies with age, education, occupation, or other characteristics. The data is collected from the 149 women who uses two wheeler in Salem District. In the study the researcher have tried to measure the expectation and satisfaction of the women consumers towards two wheelers. The results derived from the study indicate that the factor that induces the consumers to buy a particular vehicle on account of special features like easy start, gearless, auto gear etc.

The study reports the adsorption of safranin onto NaOH-modified rice husk in a upward packed bed column. Effects of the operating parameter such as flow rate, influent dye concentration were studied. To determine the characteristic parameters of the column, four models- Thomas, Adams–Bohart, BDST, and Yoon–Nelson models were applied to the experimental data. The results showed that Thomas model best fitted with the experimental data at various flow rates, while Yoon-Nelson model was suitable with data at various safranin concentrations. Moreover, it was observed that on increasing the concentration of safranin, adsorption capacity increased which in turn decreased on increasing the flow rate. Least sum of square (SS) and ?2 error analysis were applied to the models to find out the best fit model with the experimental data. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the decolorization of the dye solution in upward packed bed column. The model provided reasonable predictive performance (R2 = 0.988).

Concerns have been raised over the increase of problems like drug abuse, alcoholism premarital sex, cheating in examinations and teenage pregnancies in Kenyan Public Universities. The study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of guidance and counselling services at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. The Goal Setting Theory by Locke and Latham (1990) formed the theoretical framework for the study. The Study adopted a descriptive survey design. The sample size comprised of 204 university students. It was found out that guidance and counselling services at Masinde MuliroUniversity of Science and Technology were effective among students who sought the services. The study, however recommended that the guidance and counselling department should focus more on social, health and financial issues affecting students in the campus as well as exploring the influence of university enrolment and home oriented factors that may affect students and the stakeholders were encouraged to be involved in the process of guiding and counselling students.
