Two step austempering of ductile produces unique microstructure with excellent properties like high strength, toughness, good wear resistance, machinability at low cost. ADI primarily used in high stress machine parts, gears, crankshafts. Attempt is made to study the effect of austempering time and temperature on tensile behavior of ADI. ADI yielded from two step austempering process higher ultimate yield strength with almost no change in ductility. Mode of fracture changes from brittle to ductile with increased austempering time.

The molten salt electrolytes from which the polyvalent active metals are extracted are strongly structured at unusually long distances that increase the energy consumption of the electrowinning cell. Under influence of strong electrical pulses they are transferred to a non-equilibrium state with modification of the structure and intensification of electrochemical properties. The observed regularities in the electrolytes activation are due to stimulated dissociation of complex ions on the simpler and more mobile complex and elementary ions. This is confirmed by the disappearance of characteristic Raman peaks when the melts are activated. During the relaxation process in the non-equilibrium melts their electrochemical parameters and Raman peaks are seeking to recover their equilibrium values and pattern. All the observed regularities of the duration and the dynamics of the relaxation in non-equilibrium melts show that we definitely have deal with the structural relaxation in ionic.

The effects of dewaxing on the physico-chemical properties of some brands of vegetable oil have been investigated. Five (5) brands of crude vegetable oil including soybean oil (SO), beniseed oil (BO),cottonseed oil (CSO) and palm kernel oil (PKO) were used for these investigations. The physico-chemical properties and the wax contents were determined before and after the dewaxing operation. The wax contents (ppm), saponification numbers, % free fatty acid contents, slip melting points (0C) of the oil samples were reduced while the iodine values of the oil samples increased after the dewaxing operation. The dewaxed oil samples showed good abilities to withstand refrigerator temperature.

Arabic literature has been always influenced by the different cultures in the history, and the introduction of Islamic and Quran have also influenced on the Arabic poems deeply, the poems have progressed in the light of Quran, and they turned into the most brilliant literature among the nations of world. Abdolah Ibn Ravah has been has been well-known in Islam career, he and his poems have been influenced by Quran, his poems are usually about the words, concepts, and the structure of Quran, and this study tries to reflect the concepts, and the structure of Quran, and this study tries to reflect the concepts, the sublime illustrations of Quran verses.

Faith in Arabic means 'aqada,ya’qidu, ‘aqdun or ‘uqdah. Generally faith implies strong ties or knots. This knot is tying and usually in the form of bonds associated with maknawi or hissi, where this maknawi bond is stronger than hissi because it can expand by humans. Among the words that are often associated with ‘Aqada’ (maknawi), in sale and purchase (aqada al-Bay’), which means the bond purchase. Apart from that, it also associates with such an agreement (‘aqada al-‘Ahd), which bonds the agreement. The Quran frequently uses the word with the purpose of bonding.

Scholars believe that the detection of DMs is a tricky task, which necessitates their disambiguation or the identification of their pragmatic occurrence. Among DMs, like is said to be one of the most difficult to detect owing to the fact that the word like functions as a DM, adjective, adverb, verb, noun, preposition, and conjunction, which all in all necessitates a high level of skill and proficiency for its identification and detection. Accordingly, this study aimed at investigating if learners’ proficiency can be indicative of their ability in detecting the word like when functioning as a DM. Therefore, two intact classes, 20 sophomores and 27 seniors representing novice and skilled learners respectively, of Iranian EFL majors studying at the University of Kashan participated in this study. From Collins COBUILD, 14 sentences including the word LIKE with its seven functions (2 sentences for each function) were chosen and the participants were asked to translate them into their mother tongue (Persian) and indicate the function of the word like within parentheses in front of each sentence. Using two-way ANOVA, the researcher investigated mean differences among function scores. The results indicated that the participants found detecting the word like when functioning as a DM the most difficult and that the level of proficiency can be indicative of the participants’ success in identifying the DM like

In this paper, we consider a wide range of widely-studied models strategic form behavioral game theory. It is standard multi agent settings to assume that agents will adopt Nash equilibrium strategies. This paper gives a brief overview of game theory. Therefore in the first section we want to outline what game theory generally is and where it is applied. In the next section, we introduce some of the most important terms of Non-cooperative game theory such as strategic form (or) normal form games, extensive form and Nash equilibrium.

Natural dyes are biodegradable eco friendly. In the present study an attempt was made to dye silk and cotton with the dyes extracted from the flowers of Delonix regia, Nyctanthes arbortristis, Tagetes erecta and Peltophoram petrocarpum using two different mordant, copper sulphate and potassium dichromate. The fabrics dyed in Nyctanthes have found to be good colour fastness when they subjected to involve in qualitative test.

This study examined the dependence of women on the harvesting, processing and marketing of Shea seeds a non-wood forest product (NWFPs) with a view of establishing its contribution to their economic empowerment in Saki, Oyo state. Data were obtained from a random sample of three categories of target groups; harvesters, processors and marketers of Shea butter in the study area by means of questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency table and percentages for clarity purpose. Results from the analysis revealed that women were actively involved in the Shea business across all levels with 73.3% gatherers, 100% processors and 70.70% marketers/middlemen, this is probably because women are involved in the provision of food security and family welfare in most communities worldwide. Twenty-nine (96.67%) of the processors and all the gatherers had Vitellaria paradoxa stands on their farmland which served as a major source of V. paradoxa fruits from which the Shea is processed while others without tree stands collected the fruits from nearby forest lands. The result also showed the rate of collection of shea nut by harvesters. 10%, 10%, 20%, 23.33%, 6.67% and 16.67% gathered between 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 tons of shea nuts respectively while 13.33% gathered less than 1 ton per annum. The average per capital income generated by the different categories of respondents in the business showed that harvesters (6.67%) earned between 10,000 and 50,000, 23.33% earned above >50,000, 26.67% earned above >90,000 and 43.33% earned above >130,000 as annual income for their families.

Patients with (ARSA) are often asymptomatic and discovered accidentally during MRI scans and X-rays ordered by physicians. It is reported that (ARSA) has an incidence of 0.5 % to 2%. The aberrant artery in this anomaly follows a retro esophageal path and it rarely takes a pathway anterior to the the trachea or esophagus. Instead of this artery being the first branch with the right common carotid on brachiocephalic artery, it arises on its own as the fourth branch, after the left subclavian artery. It can be associated with chromosomal defects like trisomy 21 and 18.
