This study assessed laboratory planning skills of selected Junior High School Students in selected integrated science topics. In all 225 students from six intact classes from Cape Coast Junior High Schools students were randomly selected for the study. The students participated in planning task. Three of the intact classes were from public schools and three from private schools. The students were assessed on 7 skills on planning task. Thus each student was expected to exhibit 7 skills in the planning task. The independent t-test, means and percentages were used to analyze data. The results of the study showed that students of JHS from the private schools performed better on the planning task as compared with students of JHS from the public schools. As a result of these findings, it was recommended that hands-on activities in the laboratory should be given a second look on our curriculum. Hands-on activities need to be encouraged more in Junior High Schools in Cape Coast Metropolis.

Sugarcane is one of the most important major economic plants under cultivation in Iran. Heavy equipment and the intensive use of machinery can cause to soil compaction in sugarcane fields. In order to studying quantity of compaction in soil depth in two ages of ratoon 3rd and 6th, cone penetrometer was used for soil resistance measurements was conducted in 45 km south of Khuzestan province Amir kabir Agro-industry (31º03´N, 48º14´E) which has total area 12000 hectare which most of time 9500 hectare is under cultivation. Values were determined by using variograms maps of variable produced by kriging technique. Geostatistical software (GS+5.1, 2001; Gamma Design Software) was used to construct semivariograms and spatial structure analysis for variables fields. results showed differences were found both in soil depth and percentage of soil penetrometer resistance values ? 2 MPa and results shows differences between 61-80cm soil depth in furrows of 3rd and 6th ratoon are very obvious than 0-61cm of soil depth. In 61-80 cm of soil depth resistance in both ratoon field have increased and usage of mechanical loosening techniques subsoiling to remove soil compaction is necessary. In general combination of geostatics data with primary analysis can assist agricultural mechanization studies field and scientists through a previous identification of degraded zones within the field (e.g. block kriging) and management methods involved in slightly areas.

Three general types of sports tourism exist in Malaysia: spectator sports, traditional sports and adventure sports. The purpose of this of this paper to examine a participative sport event, SUKIPT’s athlete, in order to illustrate the relations between athlete and the events to which they travel. Research method used was qualitative, quasi-experiment approach to examine a participative sport event, SUKIPT’s athlete. The impact is based on Gibson (1998), increased urbanization, civilization process, means for economic development, concern with health and well-being, advancement in “high tech” sports equipment, and advancement in communication and technological development.

Family caregivers play a major role in providing care giving assistance to ill persons and their families. Families are an integral part of the care system for persons with a chronic mental illness. Mental health professionals need to be aware of and address the stress borne by the family in caring for patients with mental illness as they treat the patient. The aim of the study was to assess the burden of caregivers among mentally and physically ill women. This is a cross sectional study. The sample size consisted of 65 caregivers of women with mentally ill and 50 caregivers of women with physically ill attending the both OPD (Psychiatric and Gynae & obstetric OPD) of Sir Sunder Lal hospital. Caregiver burden of women with mental illness was more than of physical illness. There was significant difference found in both groups of caregivers. Keeping in view of the findings of study, the following recommendation were made. There is a need for teaching skills in the form of problem solving and communication is also needed to promote the coping abilities.

The aim of this study is to offer a commentary on the sustainability of sustainable design science. After a brief introduction on the subject, key concepts of sustainability are presented and then discussed from the viewpoint of management. Although sustainability may survive in the theory domain, we argue that it is impossible for the concept to survive as a practice under current circumstances. It is vital to draw the attention of top-level leaders to this subject; development can only be realised if the issue is placed on the agenda of top-level decision makers.

In this paper, the dynamics of spatially extended infected phytoplankton with the Holling type II functional response and logistically growing susceptible phytoplankton system and also the phytoplankton dynamics with susceptible and infected class of populations with diffusion is studied. The reaction diffusion system exhibits spatiotemporal chaos and pattern formation in phytoplankton dynamics, which is particularly important role for the spatially extended systems. We obtained the condition of diffusion-driven stability for the spatial dynamical system. Also we obtained the numerical simulation for the chaos and pattern formation for understanding the dynamical behavior of the phytoplankton system.

India is large population country; approximately 12.6 billion live in India. More population of India approximately 70% live in villages. So manufacturer huge focused on rural market. With more type of promotion manufacturer penetrate in this market. They clearly know that more sale generate more revenue. Now buyer /consumer are more conscious about product so they purchase anything very carefully. FMCGs (Fast moving consumer goods) are very short in life like daily uses thing like Beverages, bakery, sugar, detergent soap. FMCG are also called by consumer packaged goods. Although FMCGs product are non-durable goods buyer don’t think so much for purchase it. But presence of lot of competitor in this market, Buyer is always aware what he or she going to purchase. Buyer behavior and perception is very much affected on product. The objective of this paper analyze to buyer behavior towards FMCG product in rural markets. The paper also highlights the major FMCG products used by the consumers.

The improvement of current Question Answering (QA) systems relies on finding ways to support the traditional statistic approach to QA with logic reasoning. In this presentation we show one way of supporting an Interactive Question answering system with logic reasoning. The most likely answer to a question by searching a predicate format of topic-arranged question patterns and responses. Answer Finder is a framework for the development of question-answering systems. Answer Finder is currently being used to test the applicability of graph representations for the detection and extraction of answers. In this paper we briefly describe Answer Finder and introduce our method to learn graph patterns that link questions with their corresponding answers in arbitrary sentences. The method is based on the translation of the logical forms of questions and answer sentences into graphs, and the application of operations based on graph overlaps and the construction of paths within graphs. The method is general and can be applied to any graph-based representation of the contents of questions and answers.

In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a calculator software which applies the Microsoft visual studio and C-sharp (C#) for effective performance of some operations like polynomial solver of degree 10, simultaneous equation solver up to five systems of equations and evaluating the numerical integrations of some selected functions. It is expected that this application will help students and teaching staff in their daily doing of some mathematics related tasks.
