Smart Learning using Smartphone: Current Spell on Language Learning
M-learning is the ongoing trend in education with special reference to ELT. This paper advocates the use of smartphone applications to enhance the English speaking skills of tertiary level learners in remedial classes. This study focuses on the latest instant messaging mobile applications to evoke the young learners’ interest in oral discussions. The research has been carried out using Whatsapp, WeChat, and Line, through which instant audio messages are sent in a faster pace. The suggested apps help teachers not only to evoke interest in young learners, who are behind the spell of instant messages, but also help to provide instant feedback from teachers irrespective of time and place. A positive transformation in learners is noted using these instant messaging applications to enrich their English speaking skill. The study proves that the suggested approach to language learning is comparatively positive and convivial.

Sources and levels of salinity in the rocket crop
Understanding the response of the rocket crop to different source and salinity levels allows determining the type and level of salt that can be tolerable even where this factor is limiting. We evaluated the effect of different sources and levels of salinity sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) in rocket. The trial was conducted in a greenhouse, throughout completely randomized design in a 2x6x11 factorial scheme, two salt sources (NaCl and KCl), six salinity levels (0, 0.5; 2.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 6.5 dS m-1) and eleven replications. KCl exceeded the NaCl and both did not affect the leaves immersion.

Spiritual Significance of Tagore's Gitanjali for the Learners of Today
Since long twin functions that have been attributed to literature include entertaining and educating the audience. It was the Roman poet Horace who more than thousand years ago claimed literature to be 'sweet' and 'useful'. Since then it is believed that the primary role of literature is to delight and instruct. However, it is not always that a piece of literature is composed by the artists with that effect in mind. More often than not, it is their way of expressing the innermost thoughts and desires creatively. Thus, we have literature dealing with various values drawn from the diverse spheres of life and society viz. environment, social justice, mysticism and the like.

Studies on the Additive Performance of Azo Phenol Liquid Crystal as Antioxidant for Base stock
Two novel azo phenols mesogenic group namely 2-sec-butyl-4-(p-tolyldiazenyl)phenyl 4-(dodecyloxy) benzoate I12a,and 4-((4-bromophenyl)diazenyl)-2-sec-butylphenyl 4-(dodecyloxy) benzoate I12b were synthesized .The prepared compound were characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, Mass Spectroscopy and Elemental Analysis. Their mesophase was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Their antioxidant efficiency for Egyptian lubricating base oil was tested via monitoring the oxidation reaction through the change in total acid number (TAN) and viscosity. The obtained results showed that, the efficiency of these compounds was ranked as follows I12a > I12b.

Study of Effects of Nano-diamond as an oil additive on engine oil properties and wear rate of the internal parts of agricultural tractors engines
One of the most important factors for agricultural mechanization is management of repair and maintenance costs. Today, tractor is one of the main sources of power in agriculture. The engine overhaul cost is the most rates of repair and maintenance costs. Suitable and high quality engine oil consumption is a more effective factor on engine life increasing. The Nano-science is a new effective method to improving the quality of engine oil and controlling of costs. This study was carried to evaluate the impact of Nano-diamond as an engine oil additive on increasing the oil quality and wearing reduction in the engine oil components. For this purpose, 10 Massey Ferguson 399 tractors were selected from the common tractors in Iran and were classified in two groups. The Nano-diamond as an oil additive material was added to engine oil in one group and was used pure engine oil (without adding any additive) in other one. Then the oil sampling were carried on all tractors engine oil at 50, 100 and 120 hours service time durations and elemental analysis were completely performed on samples. The data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results showed a significant difference at 5% level, between the two groups based on the life oil additives as well as the quantity of erosion particles. The results showed that it is effective to increasing of engine lubricant oil quality as well as reducing of erosion particles quantity, when this additive is used whit 1% concentration based on weight in MF 399 engine lubricant oil tractor. Additionally, resulting from hard Nano-diamond structure, some of the large ferrous particles observed that their quantities have been decreased gradually.

Study of Physiochemical Characteristics of ground water in the special reference to fluoride of some of the villages of Sardarshahar Tehsil in Churu District of Western Rajasthan.
Ground water is increasingly being sought as a source of drinking water due to the scarcity, non-availability and bacteriological pollution of surface water. This paper deals in the physico-chemical characteristics of the ground water samples of tube wells of ten villages in Sardarsahar Tahsil (Churu) of Rajasthan State. The different parameters determined are pH, TDS, fluoride, chloride, total alkalinity and total hardness. It has been observed that all values are higher compared to APHA (American public Health Association), AWWA (American water work Association) and WPCF (1975). Other parameters were found within desirable limits. The high value of these parameters may have health implications, so, this ground water is not good for health and therefore, needs attention.
