Water is literally the source of life on earth. The human body is 70 percent water. The study examined water resources and sustainable development in Northern Kenya in Isiolo District. Residents of Isiolo formed the target population. Cluster sampling was used to select villages which are more affected by scarcity of water. The study used survey design. The analysis was both qualitative and quantitative. The study found that inadequate water resource supply has been hindrance to the Tourism Development in the region particularly in Isiolo District and the Southern parts of Garissa District. Secondly, inadequate water resource supply in the region has limited employment opportunities in the area this explains the low income per capita of people in this region. In addition, their standard of living, income generation, labor efficiency, employment extra is rather low, because agricultural productivity industrial development is both in adequate due to water constraint in the area. Water scarcity has been a source of conflict in the study area. The overstocking as well as water scarcity in the area and also the nomadic pastoralist nature of the people of this region has resulted in constant migration of people with their animals from one district to another. However, despite the aridity nature of this area, some limited agricultural activities is possible mainly through irrigation. The paper recommends that the use of water harvesting technologies that are sustainable and environmental friendly should be given priority in both surface and ground water development; incentives to adopt roof catchments water supply should be encouraged and cost - sharing policy in water sector to meet both development and recurrent votes should be encouraged to reduce the budgetary constraints by the government.

Sri Lankan historiography relating to immigrant plantation worker community under colonialism in the 19th century has so far failed to examine the inner complexity of strategies of labour management. This historiography tends to emphasize institutional developments in the plantation sector as and overall process of modernization where the colonial state and the British planters combined to provide better social, health and sanitation facilities for the welfare of the immigrant workers. Women were looked upon as machines of reproduction that would serve the long term labour requirements of the plantations while at the same time providing cheaper female and child labour.

The concept of life style is one of characteristic of the modern world and modernity. Those who live in the modern societies use the concept of life style to describe their actions and others. The life style is meant by choosing the routine life. Thus unlike the traditional societies in which people had lived replaced and little alternative. In contemporary society Due to its importance personal responsibility and the rise of consumer society has more choices in life. This study sought to examine some social factors related to lifestyle and consumer culture. The methodology is survey and questionnaire is to collect information. The study populations of women 30-18 years old living in the city of Kermanshah (Iran), in this study, 274 people a quota sampling method were selected as samples. According to the results, there are significant relations between the cultural capital, media consumption, age and lifestyle. Multivariate analysis showed that the four independent variables, cultural, media consumption, age and social comparison, 42 percent put together have been able to explain changes in the dependent variable.

The urachus is developmentally the upper part of the bladder, both being derived from the ventral cloaca. This part of the bladder narrows more, but retains in miniature. It is then known as the urachus. The urachus shares in the post-partum descent of the bladder, and in the adult is a cone-shaped structure passing up from the bladder apex, and attached to the umbilicus only by adventitial bands derived from the umbilical arteries which it has pulled down in its descent. Like the bladder it has a peritoneal and an extra-peritoneal surface and has the transversalis fascia on its outer and the peritoneum on its inner surface. The lumen of the urachus remains patent throughout life, though it may be plugged in places by masses of epithelial cells which have peeled or come off in scales from the walls of its canal.

Relatively few studies in foreign language testing have been conducted on differences between males and females' performance on various sub-tests of the Iranian National University Entrance Exam (INUEE). The present study seeks to explore gender effect on correlation in various sub-tests of the INUEE. To explore correlation coefficient for a group of 1000 students who participated in INUEE, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient formula was employed. The outcomes of a statistical analysis denoted that there is a distinction between the functions of different sub-tests of the INUEE for female and male test-takers.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of cutting parameters of wire cut Electrical Discharge Machining (Wire-EDM) during the machining of Inconel825.Demand for better surface finish has been increasing recently for super alloys. The low rigidity and high material removal rate of Inconel alloys offers a challenging task in obtaining a better surface finish. The analysis of surface characteristics like surface roughness of Inconel-825 is carried out and an excellent machined finish can be obtained by setting the machining parameters at optimum level. Experimentation has been done by using Taguchi’s L18 (21x37) orthogonal array under different conditions of parameters. The response of surface roughness is considered for improving the machining efficiency. Optimal combinations of parameters were obtained by this method. The confirmation experiment shows, the significant improvement in surface finish (1.36µm) was obtained. Multiple linear regression model have been developed relating the process parameters and machining performance indicates the suitability of the proposed model in predicting surface roughness. The regression analysis are used to predict the error between actual and regression values of surface roughness in Wire EDM process. Experimental results demonstrate that the machining model is suitable and the Taguchi’s method satisfies the practical requirements.

Agriculture is the most beautiful and easy profession in the world; yet marked by drudgery and exploitations. It is a beauty to behold nature: plants, animals, insects, air, water, soil, rock, food, medicine, drugs. It is prestigious and honourable to have food on the table: morning, afternoon and evening. It is very appetizing to have various food stuff and ingredients. Food is always delicious if not abused. A well fed man is a happy man. A hungry man is an angry and sad man. Food! Food! Food everywhere; yet they are unavailable and unaffordable. Something must be wrong: with ourselves or how we embrace agriculture. But nothing is wrong with agriculture; except where we checkmate and abuse nature, in the name of agricultural revolution and increased food production. This paper reviews agriculture in peril. Happy reading.

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) has been shown to be an effective attack in cryptographic systems capable of revealing secret data by measuring power consumption. Recent DPA resistant circuits / logics incur severe penalties in terms of area and power. This paper proposes the design of a secure logic family for DPA resistant cryptographic devices. Here the power consumption is insensitive to unbalanced load conditions thus adopting a semi-custom design flow without any constraint on the routing of the complementary wires. The proposed logic is based on a novel encoding concept where the information is represented in time domain rather than in the spatial domain as in standard dual-rail logic. In this paper, a logic family exploiting the proposed concept is simulated to show power consumption independent of the processed data and routing capacitances. It also shows an optimistic improvement in the energy consumption balancing and area reduction.

In this study food waste from a restaurant, chicken waste and waste flour are used as feedstock. Along with this, one new biogas unit model is used and compared with the existing one for various features. The outcomes are documented. Different decisive parameters were verified and got compared with those generated from conventional type of feed stock in various AD processes mentioned in different literature searched. With the individual effect all above influensive parameters, the relation between them is also verified which shown consistent results.

AbAnbaar, lake, pool have been made to provide drinking water supply in Iran and other countries. However access to water was not same, but all of them have one thing in common, the storage of water. Haj KazemAbAnbaar was located in Maghlovak district which have made in Ghajar dynasty. This structure are include reservoir, stairway, Pa Shir, Sar Dar (portal) and two Bad gir (Windward). Reservoir capacity is 1870 m3and rectangle shape, which build from east to west. Tall portal have eight meter height and decorated with Maegheli (Islamic calligraohy). Date analysis has been indicated that excavation and construction of this AbAnbaar was done by Rikhtai method (pouredi.e made of poured lime-plaster) and while digging out, its ceiling was constructed. The construction material used for abanbars were, slaked lime mortar,Saruj ( the type of plaster most commonly used called sarujm is a compound from six part clay, four parts lime, one part ash), stone, wood and AjorAbAnbaari( special bricks for construction of cistern). The roof of the reservoir has constructed barrel-vault and roof of the stairway constructed with two incrustration and Taghahang (kind of vault). This building have SaghaKhane and Moazeneh(on top of the portal there is a place which called Moazeneh). This study has been taken by data libraryand conducting field studies of AbAnbaar plan with triangulation method and technology of construction.
