Aqueous media containing heavy metals from industries are directly or indirectly discharged into the environment to cause pollution and threat to human life. The bio-polymer chitin was synthesised using local snail shell to study the adsorption of lead, zinc and nickel from aqueous solution. The synthesis of chitin involves the following stages: (i) pre-concentration, (ii) demineralization, (iii) deprotonization and (iv) deacetylation. Chitin is characterized using analytical technique such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to confirm the presence of chitin. This study shows the effect of pH, time, and adsorbent dosage removal efficiency of the metals in solution. The concentrations of Pb2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ absorbed under different conditions was evaluated using atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS). The result shows that the optimum pH adsorption for Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ using chitin was found to be at pH 2 for the all metals (Pb2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+) with percentage removal efficiency (92.5%, 82.4%, 80%). The synthesized chitin has a potential of an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals in aqueous solution.

It is a reality that teachers need motivation to perform, which would only be possible through retaining them. This study is conducted to understand the major factors which affect the retention of teachers in management institutions in Bengaluru and ways to convert that into Professional, Academic and Co-curricular performance. The data was collected from 261 teachers coming under Bangalore University through a structured questionnaire. Initially ten factors of retention were considered and deduced to three factors using factor analysis. It was found that Effective Leadership, Empowerment and Work Environment are the major factors of retention. Effective leadership was also found to impact Professional, Academic and Co-curricular Performance of teachers.

Floristic studies are fundamental for the applied sciences such as rangeland management and conservation. Unique ecological and climatic conditions in the Tang Putak in Dena Protected Area make it a remarkable habitat for the floristic studies. The purpose of this study was to determine floristic composition and their chorology carrying a central importance in vegetation description and analysis. Therefore, 50 quadrats (100 m2) were located according to the nature of vegetation. The species and their abundance-dominance were recorded. 73 plant species, belonging to 24 families, were identified. Plant classification, based on Raunkiaer’s life forms revealed Hemicryptophytes as the most abundant (55% of total) species. Therophytes, Phanerophytes and Chamaephytes contained 21, 12 and 5 percents of total plant species, respectively. Chorological characteristics of the plant species showed, about 68% of the total plant species in Tang Putak area were belonged to the Irano-Turanian Chorotype.

The word entrepreneur originates from the French word, entreprendre, which means "to undertake." In a business context, it means to start a business. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary presents the definition of an entrepreneur as one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise. Many experts and researchers refer to today's world as the age of discontinuity. Age of discontinuity means that past experience and solutions to current and future problems are not entrepreneur anymore and should think for new organizational solutions with modern structure, so that could produce the goods and services with minimal cost and with superior quality tailored to customer needs and preferences as global markets be subdued and captured and in this great race to be victorious. Therefore in order to have successful economics there dire need to have prosperous enterprises in competitive environments. This requires powerful, self-reliance and empowered employees, the Personnel who possess the creative and entrepreneurial morale. As result entrepreneurship, creativity, innovation and risky businesses, provide fuel modern economy that means in any enterprise if in any organization, the entrepreneurial context of a ewe be provided employment will be created and itself will be factor of technology transformation. Entrepreneurs are a factor to identify, create and expand new markets they have the ability to see market gaps and to identify opportunities perfectly. In other words, entrepreneurship is nothing but the opportunity recognition and optimum use of it. Therefore we consider the entrepreneurship as suitable strategy for development and improvement of enterprises in this paper and we believe that entrepreneurship has important role in productivity enhancement and to ease their innovative activities in order to implement the organization's success.

The use of and search for drugs and dietary supplements derived from plants have accelerated in recent years. Ethno-pharmacologists, botanists, microbiologists, and natural-products chemists’ arecombing the Earth for phytochemicals and "leads" which could bedeveloped for treatment of infectious diseases. Many pathogenic microbes have capability to develop resistance against synthetic formulation. Synthetic formulation is very toxic and destroys the soil fertility and ecological balance. Plant based formulation are least toxic and better for environment balance so it can be replace by synthetic formulation. Antimicrobial activity of plants is mainly due to the presence of secondary metabolites. Plants are rich in wide varietyof secondary metabolites such as tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which have been found in vitro to have antimicrobialproperties. This review attempts to summarize the current statusof botanical screening efforts, as well as in vivo studies of their effectiveness and toxicity. The structure and antimicrobial properties of phytochemicals are also addressed.

The benefits of risk management in projects are huge. You can gain a lot of money if you deal with uncertain project events in a proactive manner. The result will be that you minimize the impact of project threats and seize the opportunities that occur. This allows you to deliver your project on time, on budget and with the quality results your project sponsor demands. Also your team members will be much happier if they do not enter a "firefighting" mode needed to repair the failures that could have been prevented. In this paper we identified six common risk factors that could impact a project. Some factors are obvious, but some are not and it is important to identify them all. You are encouraged to review them all when planning for project risks. Also In this paper we describe common schedule risk factors. We give you some tools to identify risk and lower its impact, thereby saving your projects from schedule slips.
