Education is a multidimensional process, one side it enhances the economic growth and another side, it reduces the poverty by increasing the productivity. This study examines the extent to which education affects economic growth in Bangladesh and show the impact of education on economic growth. In this study we utilize secondary time series data on GDP growth rate, adult literacy rate, gross enrolment in primary education, gross enrolment in secondary, gross enrolment in tertiary and government educational expenditure for the span of 2001-2015 in case of Bangladesh. The result of the t-test, F-test, the coefficient of correlation and coefficient of determination shows that education is positively and significantly related to the economic growth. For identifying the model specification, this study use multicollinearity test, Park test, Breusch-Godfrey (BG) test for heteroscedasticity, Durbin-Watson and Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey (BPG) test for autocorrelation. This tests suggest that our data is free from Heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation but there is multicollinearity problem in this data, for removing this multicollinearity we use dropping variable method.

The transformation from a conventional consumption based society to a sustainable society is urgently required due to the pollution of the natural environment, the exhaustion of the natural resources and the decreasing capacity of the final waste disposal facilities. One of the ways to solve this problem is to use ceramic waste (CW) concrete as partial replacement with cement in structural concrete. Also to develop a sustainable concrete using new supplementary cementitious material (SCM) like ceramic waste powder which is produced from ceramic tiles at the manufacturing process and dismantled tiles, broken pieces of tiles and it was partially replaced with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC).Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compressive strength to the conventional concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for 7 and 28 days. As a result, the compressive strength achieved up to 30% replacing cement with ceramic waste. This research work is concerned with the experimental investigation on strength of concrete and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of ceramic waste. Keeping all this view, the aim of the investigation is to study the behavior of concrete while replacing the ceramic waste with different proportions in concrete.

Overview of existing papers cutting machine and evolution of paper cutting machine has been analyzed and discussed. First, the theoretical and practical operating principles of various types of paper cutting has been analyzed and complete structural analyzes has been made to improvise machine operation. The various types of existing paper cutting machines are manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic hydraulic then, the inherent parts of the paper cutting machines has been illustrated.

This research describes a mammographic lesions using wavelet based active contour model. The sensitivity of the breast cancer detection was analyzed by mammography. Wavelet based decomposition techniques are used and tested for decomposing the noise present in the mammographic lesions. Gabor filtering method is used to reduce the unwanted noise obtained in the mammographic lesions by automated segmentation. The experimental results are tested with the MATLAB and proved reliable and cost effective.

This study aims to investigate the similarities and differences of some anger metaphors in English and Mongolian. The study is done within the cognitive semantics framework along with the principle of CMT (Layoff and Johnson 1980, 1987; Kövecses 1986, 1988, 2000) framework in English and Mongolian. To compare the results of the study in both languages, the author selected the three parameters proposed by Barcelona (2001) and Kövecses (2001) including (1) the existence and nonexistence of language-specific mappings, (2) degrees of linguistic elaboration, (3) degrees of linguistic conventionalization. The source domains chosen for the analysis are rooted in the most fundamental human experiences in the sedentary and nomadic cultures.This current study highlights the importance of culture in understanding the relationship between metaphor, culture and cognition, and it provides comparative generalizations for the four basic emotion concept of anger and gives the fundamental explanations in English and Mongolian. This systematic comparative analysis of emotion metaphors in English and Mongolian contributes importantly to the major claims of the Contemporary Metaphor Theory, which states that metaphors are grounded on both universal embodiment and social-cultural experiences. Even though English and Mongolian belong to very different language families representing totally different sedentary and nomadic cultures, they share some universal conceptual metaphors for particular emotions with each other.

Schistosomiasis mansoni is among the neglected diseases that occur in Brazil, being endemic in 76 countries and territories spread across Africa, Asia and the Americas. The granulomatous process in schistosomiasis is dependent on CD4 + and requires recruitment and accumulation of inflammatory cells at the site of eggs deposition. Schistosomal fibrosis is the result of a granulomatous reaction developed in response to antigens released by eggs of Schistosoma mansoni that are retained in the portal veins of smaller caliber. Manipulation of the interaction between B7 antigen molecules presenting cells (APC) and T cell receptors CD28/CTLA4 modulate and, in some circumstances, even block the immunological response in vivo. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: a) to evaluate treatment with monoclonal mice anti-CD28 (PV-1 cell line hybridoma), b) to evaluate the contribution of the synthesis and release of IL-4 and IL-5 when correlated with IgE and IgG1 levels and granuloma and fibrosis formation during schistosomiasis. Our results suggest that treatment with anti-CD28, on day 64 post-infection, favored a decrease in IL-4 and IL-5 production and decreased levels of IgG1 and IgE expression, as well as a reduction in the collagen deposition resulting from fibrosis.

In last few decades computer scientist has started taking interest in the quantum computing in order to resolve some of the problems in the recognizable classical computers. Relevant efforts have been put into the practice for two instructions: the basic assumptions behind the quantum mechanics has a residential affect, on the other hand a series of project has been used to show the series of implementation of all these algorithms. This will move the quantum from area of assumptions’ to the actual level. The relationship between these two areas is generally the feasible algorithms for quantum, which settle down their model of quantum circuit.

One of the main concerns of economists and economic policymakers is predicting future values of economic variables. One of these variables is stock index that, according to the importance of financial markets in economic development and also attractiveness of investing in this market could have many costumers. Therefore, in this study, with the daily data of years 2006 to 2012 the total index of Tehran Stock Exchange (TIPEX) using artificial neural networks (ANN), auto regressive moving average (ARIMA), and models accuracy comparison have been predicted. Results suggest that, there is no significant difference between the accuracy of neural networks models and moving auto regressive average.

The article analyses the concept of motivation and features some facts on the importance of differentiation between the intrinsic-extrinsic constructs and integrative-instrumental orientation to motivation, as well as the necessity to study students’ actual motivational background to learning English. The article describes a recent study of motivational basis in Psychology students in terms of learning English. The research aims to find out and to assess the presence of a certain motivational type and orientation. The author examines and interprets the results of a written questionnaire concerning definite orientations to motivation in Psychology students of Cherkasy National University.

A simple, precise and accurate kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of tranexamic acid. The method was based on a kinetic investigation of the coupling reaction between tranexamic acid and ascorbic acid after heating to form a purple-pink colored complex. The reaction was followed up spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in absorbance at 530nm & 390nm as a function of time. The initial rate, rate constant, fixed time and fixed absorption time methods were adopted for constructing the calibration curves and examined for their suitability for the assay of tranexamic acid in pure and capsules forms.
