Akaike information criterion, AIC is widely used for model selection. The AIC as the estimator of asymptotically unbias for the second term Kullbake-Leibler risk considers the divergency between true model and offered models. The AIC, is an inconsistent estimator. In this article the proposed approach the problem the inconsistency of AIC, it is the use of consistent offered information criterion, called M1IC (Masumeh information criterion). At the end of these two information criteria of model selection of classic and linear models have been considered by the simulation of Monte-Carlo.

The problem of generating epsilon of room is drawing the attention of the reliability analyst. Amongst those approaches, the characterization approach and the modelling approach are very appealing. In fact characterization approach is of interest to both theoreticians and applied workers. Here we have created an epsilon of room for application through characterization approach. In our application we have considered days of Menstrual Cycle with Melatonin hormone as variable compared with both control group and experimental group as women stress effects. Here we have used epsilon room (soft analysis) in the pineal gland. We have further discussed the main important point for saving energy to fight with the stress effects. The Hormones like Melatonin in the night time will be regulated as Melatonin is the night hormone which secretes in the pineal gland. If it secretes uniformly all other hormones like serotonin will be regulated in the day time.

National curriculum framework(2005) focuses on 21st century learning, ensuring learners are equipped to participate in and contribute to their own society and the wider world. An important aspect of this is encouraging students to consider significant future-focused issues such as sustainability.The future-focus theme of sustainability should be evident throughout the curriculum in school education. Structuring learning around a unifying theme such as sustainability provides opportunities for students to make connections between learning areas, competencies, and values. It requires teaching and learning approaches that draw on all elements of effective pedagogy and focuses on empowering students to take action for a sustainable future.Sustainability connects to the principle environmental health is personal health. The curriculum should endorse a place for the school, the family, the community to focus on the place of the student in their own world. Therefore, the school-based curriculum should supports holistic teaching programmes and learning pathways which enable the learner to engage purposefully with the environment.Education for sustainability is about learning to think and act in ways that will safeguard the future wellbeing of people and our planet. Many contexts, topics, or issues that students could explore have a connection to education for sustainability. There are opportunities in most learning areas for students to examine how the resources we use and what gets left over affects the earth.Teachers can introduce students to attitudes and values towards the environment, and create opportunities to explore their own. Students will also have opportunities to take action on issues that are meaningful to them, explore why an issue is important and develop the skills they need to create change.

Photovoltaic (PV) Smart Grid systems can make a positive contribution to the sustainability of rural communities in developing countries that do not have access to electricity grid. Integration of solar photovoltaic system with diesel generator for remote and rural areas would assist in expanding the electricity access in the tropical region. The Smart Grid approach performance in terms of technical and economic aspects and their prospects has been presented in this paper.

CBR as a strategy within community development for rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities, and social inclusion of all people with disabilities. The purpose of the study was Designing Community Based Rehabilitation Model using SEM. This study is a comparative-descriptive research that has been performed by factor analysis method. In the qualitative stage the process owners were 45 experts and in factor analysis stage, there were 564 CBR experts of Iran, CBR departments and rehabilitation deputies of 31 provinces and the CBR specialists and rehabilitation deputies of the CBR executing counties. The data collection tool was researcher-made questionnaire the content validity of which was determined through expert panel and its construct validity was determined through exploratory factor analysis by principal component analysis method with varimax rotation using SPSS16 software. Its reliability was also confirmed by test-retest and internal consistency method using Cronbach's Alpha (96%) and the most important community-based rehabilitation factors were identified through path analysis and structural equation modeling using LISREL software 8.8. In exploratory component analysis, 7 main components were identified; using semi-professional people with 9 variables, 43.1% variance, and 23.28 eigenvalue as the most important factor and social integration of the disabled people with 2 variables and 2.19% variance as the less important factor clarified the community-based rehabilitation changes; however, in the fitted model which is the most complete saturated model, 7 factors of subsistence with ß= 0.20, using semi-professional people with ß= 0.19, medical procedures with ß= 0.19, socio-political supports with ß= 0.18, social integration of the disabled people with ß=0.18, educational measures with ß= 0.16, and health practices with ß= 0.14 had the highest predictive power in the order of importance. Considering the cultural, economic, political, and social context of Iran, usage of the obtained factors can promote the dignity of the disabled people and their family in the society as well as empowering and equalization of their opportunities.

A combination of semi-coking followed by wet high intensity magnetic separation has been used for the upgrading of El-Magara ultrafine Coal. The samples were semicoking at 550°C and then upgraded by the wet high intensity magnetic separator. Semi-coking of ultrafine coal decreases energy costs for its crushing and significantly increases magnetic properties of its mineral constituent. The factors effects on the processes were studied feeding rate, solid/liquid ratio and magnetic field intensity. The semi-coking coal in the size range of ?25?m with pyrite feed contains 2.1% was used for this study. At the end of this study the Sulphur decreased from 2.1 % to 0.45%.

Honey has been used as a bio monitor to determine environmental quality in the environments which are polluted by heavy metals, radioactivity and pesticides. The study sought to determine the levels of some heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, As, and Mn) in honey and assess their potential health risk to consumers. Samples of honey were harvested from within 5km of the Tamale Metropolis of Ghana. A known weight (5g) of honey samples were digested using an oxi-acidic mixture of HNO3/H2O2 and filtered into a 50ml volumetric flask. The contents of the minerals in the digests were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). The analysis revealed that the concentrations of lead (79.815 ± 16.796 mg/Kg), nickel (15.785 ± 10.968 mg/Kg), copper (13.855 ± 10.213 mg/Kg) and manganese (8.215 ± 4.452 mg/Kg) in the samples exceeded the FAO/WHO maximum permissible limits. The elevated levels of these metals may be evidence of possible pollution agents (vehicular and industrial emissions, pollution of farm soils and pockets of water) in the study area. The Health Risk assessment (THQ< 1) showed no significant public health risk to consumers. However, we recommend regular monitoring of heavy metals from the natural environment of Tamale to mitigate possible future threats to public health.

Education is one of very important component of development. Progress of any country principally reflects with literacy level of the population. The Government of India has assigned high priority to the education sector not only to achieve the Univerlisation of Elementary Education by 2010 but also to improve the quality of education at all levels. Some of the initiatives such as District Primary Education Programme (1994), the Mid Day Meal Scheme (1995) and the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (2001) have led some positive impact in elementary education, specifically in rural areas. But most of the work or research carried out for primary school education and educationist or researchers concentrated on primary education only. Therefore it is an attempt a look out to the development of upper primary school education in India.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesized through chemical coprecipitation followed by thermal treatment. Structural, optical and luminescence properties along with dielectric properties were studied and relaxation mechanisms were explored. The structural characterization studies confirmed the formation of nano sized MgO particles with hierarchical structures and high purity. The dielectric properties were studied in different frequency range at different temperatures. In addition, the Cole –Cole plot are used to explore the relaxation mechanism prevalent in nanostructured MgO. In dielectric materials there are multiple dipole relaxation mechanisms which give rises to spreading of relaxation time on the average relaxation time.

In this paper, a modified distributive arithmetic algorithm is designed and implemented on FPGA for OFDM system. In order to reduce the number of storage elements required to store the partial products, input register is split into two sections. Bottom section of register is used to access the partial products and the top section of input register is used as select line of multiplexer structure. The addition of partial products is executed in parallel to reduce the latency of the DWT/IDWT computation. The modified DA algorithm is modeled using HDL and is implemented on Spartan 3E devices. The design operates at 60 MHz and consumes power less than 0.036 W and is thus suitable for low power applications. The developed DWT/IDWT model can be integrated with QAM modulator and form a OFDM system used for power line applications.
