This work was aimed to prepare four non ionic surfactants based on tolyl triazole (I, II, III and IV), and evaluate their efficiency as corrosion inhibitors for X – 65 type carbon steel in deep oil well formation using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and weight loss measurements. The experimental results showed that these inhibitors revealed a very good corrosion inhibition even at low concentrations. It was found that, the adsorption ability of the surfactant molecules on carbon steel surface increased with the increase of both ethylene oxide units and molecular size. Critical micelle concentration (cmc) represents the key factor for the selected surfactants. Potentiodynamic polarization curves indicate that the inhibitors under investigation act as mixed type i.e., promoting retardation of both anodic and cathodic discharge reactions. Also, EIS data showed that both (I %) and charge transfer resistance (Rt) are increased where as electrochemical double layer resistance (Cdl) is decreased. Finally, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X- rays analysis (EDX) were used to study the nature of the protected film formed on carbon surface.

Emotional intelligence is a different way of being smart. It includes knowing what your feelings are and using your feelings to make good decisions in life. It’s being able to manage distressing moods well and control impulses. It’s being motivated and remaining hopeful and optimistic when you have setbacks in working toward goals. It’s empathy; knowing what the people around you are feeling. And it’s social skill—getting along well with other people, managing emotions in relationships, being able to persuade or lead others. Emotional intelligence was popularized in 1995 when psychologist Daniel Goleman wrote his book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. Emotional, or social intelligence, involves at least five types of skills: 1- Self-awareness is a person’s ability to understand and be aware of their feelings and moods. Self-awareness helps a person keep an eye on their thoughts and emotions so they can better understand why they feel a particular way. 2- Managing emotions This skill helps people display their emotions in socially appropriate ways. It helps one control anger, sadness, and fear. 3- Motivation helps a person use their emotions to reach their goals. It helps them hold back their impulses and delay gratification to reach these goals. 4- Empathy is the ability to understand how a person feels. It is different from feeling sorry for someone. It is feeling like “walking in their shoes.” 5- Social skills are dealing with others in social situations. It is the ability to carry on a conversation and deal with other’s emotions. It is being socially competent.

It is increasingly being recognised that entrepreneurship education is essential not only for individuals but also for the success of entire nations. It has been said that India is the land of entrepreneurs and business lies in the blood of majority of Indians, but still what have we as Indians gained? Undoubtedly Rolls Royce for a lucky few but no food & housing for all! That’s where the true growth lies! Even after 60 years of independence we have not been able to eradicate Poverty, Illiteracy, unemployment and various other social evils, a possible answer to all the above stated evils can be effective Entrepreneurship

This study is about to explore the relationship among professional competence, job satisfaction and career development confidence of chefs in Pakistan. Results exhibited that working attitude and communication skill are the most likely influential construct for professional competence and culinary related knowledge had the lowest reported ratings. Job selection satisfaction showed low ranking then current job satisfaction. Structural equation modeling results demonstrated that professional competence directly effect job satisfaction and career development confidence and job satisfaction had no direct effect on actual career development confidence. Implication for these results is discussed.

The mineralogical analysis of five pottery shards from the Kottapuram site, Kerala using interdisciplinary analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), XRD, thermal analysis and porosity has been carried out. The above techniques show the clear presence of inclusions of clay minerals were used for the study of characteristic reactions, associated with the course of heating. The evidence for the decomposition of calcite and kaolinite in some of the samples were found so that the earthenware may be produced the high temperature ceramics.

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) have been highly vulnerable to attacks due to the dynamic nature of its network infrastructure. Among these attacks, routing attacks have received considerable attention since it could cause the most devastating damage to MANET. Even though there exist several intrusion response techniques to mitigate such critical attacks, existing solutions typically attempt to isolate malicious nodes based on binary or na?ve fuzzy response decisions. However, binary responses may result in the unexpected network partition, causing additional damages to the network infrastructure, and na?ve fuzzy responses could lead to uncertainty in countering routing attacks in MANET. In this paper, we propose a risk-aware response mechanism to systematically cope with the identified routing attacks. Our risk-aware approach is based on an extended Dempster-Shafer mathematical theory of evidence introducing a notion of importance factors. In addition, our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach with the consideration of several performance metrics.

The blood parameters like red blood cell count, white blood cell count, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean cell haemoglobin, mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin concentration were estimated in Cyprinus carpio exposed to1/10^th (8.64ug/L) and 1/15^th(5.67ug/L)of lethal concentrations of monocrotophos for 5.10, 20, 1nd 30 days. The results showed alterations indicating the pesticide effect being severe as RBC count decreased, WBC count increased, Hb decreased, PCV increased, MCV, MCH and MCHC appeared decreased.

Specimens of fish Cyprinus carpio were exposed to pH 5.0, pH4.5 and pH4.0 for a period of 28 days. In pH 5.0 and pH4.5 the fish survived for 30 days. While in pH 4.0 the fish survived only for 16 days. During the above treatment biochemical parameter such as plasma cholesterol and Plasma glucose level was observed an interval of 7 days of the total exposure period. Acid treated fish exhibits a significant increase in the plasma cholesterol levels and Plasma glucose level. The observed biochemical parameter may be used as non-specific biomarker in the field of toxicology.

Data compression is a common requirement for most of the computerized applications. There are many number of unsecured data compression algorithms, which are dedicated to compress different unsecured data formats. Even for a single data type there are number of different compression algorithms, which use different approaches. In this research, we propose a simple and efficient data compression algorithm particularly suited to be used on available commercial basis using secured manner. Our intention is transmitting text data in secured as well as compressed in the open environment. It is using double compression technique based on Huffman coding algorithm and simple symmetric key algorithm. Experiment itself evaluates the performance of new secured data compression algorithm with other data compression algorithm.

Ayurveda has two main aims one is to maintain health and the second is to cure disease. The branch of rasayana or rejuvenation is one of the eight specialized branches of Ayurveda that primarily deals with the maintenance of health. Rasayana is defined as any herb, food, or activity which confers youthfulness and cures diseases. If taken in a proper way, the rasayana prevents early aging and keeps you young and active both physically and mentally. Rasayana is a special type of treatment containing various methods of rejuvenation. It derives from 'Rasa' and 'Ayana.' The literal meaning of Rasa is the essence of something. Anything ingested into the body in the form of food or medicine is first resynthesized into Rasa Dhatu, the basic plasma tissue. Ayana is the method by which Rasa is carried to all the body tissues for biochemical metamorphosis (Rasakriya). The concept of Rasayana is based on these two principles of conservation and transmutation of energy. Rasayana therapy strives to improve physical, mental and moral Qualities. It prevents old age, restores youthfulness, improves the complexion and the voice, increases physical strength and immunity. It strengthens memory and intelligence, gives happiness to oneself, and a life which is beneficial to others.
