A lot of researches on student learning styles found that each student exhibits unique characteristics, learns differently and possess a particular learning style (Zhang, 2000). However, it is not clear if students need to possess certain learning styles to be high achievers. Therefore this study aims to explore the learning style/s of a high achieving student. An interview was conducted on a student who has achieved excellent grades in the study with at least two semesters in the President’s List. The results showed that the student has not adopted any specific learning styles in her study; rather combination of styles has been utilized.

Ground water is an important resource of water. However, over exploitation has affected the groundwater quality and quantity. Assessing the ground water potential zone is very important for the protection of water and management of groundwater system. Recent trends are showing the systematic planning to stop the over exploitation of groundwater and shrinking natural resources. Geo-spatial technology is very useful to study about the groundwater in detail. In the present study delineate the possible groundwater potential zones in the Salem district using geo-spatial technology. The thematic layers considered in this present study, which are geomorphology, drainage density, lineament density. These thematic layers are integrated for identify the groundwater potential zone. Therefore, five different groundwater potential zones were identified, which are very good, good, moderate, poor and very poor. Finally, it concluded that the Geo-spatial technology is very efficient and useful for the identification of groundwater potential zones.

Intrusion detection system shave been around for quite some time, to protect systems from inside and outside threats. Researchers and scientists are concerned on how to enhance the intrusion detection performance, to be able to deal with real-time attacks and detect them fast from quick response. One way to improve performance is to use minimal number of features to define a model in a way that it can be used to accurately discriminate normal from anomalous behaviour. Many feature selection techniques are out there to reduce feature sets or extract new features out of them. In this paper, we propose an anomaly detectors generation approach using Meta heuristic algorithm in conjunction with several features selection techniques, including principle components analysis, sequential floating, and correlation-based feature selection. Meta heuristic algorithm was applied with deterministic crowding niching technique, to generate a set of detectors from a single run. In this test, based on various algorithms, we conclude that NWINE data is low in accuracy and only in the clustering algorithm, which rises precisely.

For thirty years the cultivation of cotton has become very widespread in Benin. This has led to a sprawl of agricultural land and a significant increase in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and by extension, the pollution of the water resource in many parts of the country. In the north, high levels of nitrogen components are measured in the waters of the basin of Sota. Indeed the average value of 181mg / L measured for nitrate levels exceeding that permitted by the standards of quality of drinking water in the Republic of Benin. This study contributes to the knowledge of the impacts of agricultural activities on water resource in the basin of Sota in Benin.

In this paper inf – j composition (where j refers to a t- conorm) and sup- uj composition are defined. Relation between inf- j and sup- ujcompositions are established. Theorems are proved that express the basic properties of inf- j and sup- ujcomposition

Plants are utilized as therapeutic agents since time immemorial in both organized (Ayurveda, Unani) and unorganized (folk, tribal, native) form. The ethanolic fruit extract of Cucumis trigonus Roxb of family Cucurbitaceae was used to treat the urolithiasis induced by ethylene glycol. On this course, the extract also repairs the changes that happened in the biochemical parameters urea, uric acid and creatinine in serum and urine of the urolithiatic rats. The ethanol extract (150 mg / kg b.w.) reduced the levels of elevated biochemical parameters in serum and urine significantly (p<0.05) when compared with the toxic groups. The results shown by the ethanol extract (150 mg / kg b.w.) was compared to standard thiazide drug treated group showing no significant difference (p<0.05) and thus exhibited potent antiurolithiatic activity.

Array patterns depends on type of elements, spacing between the elements and length of the array etc., conventionally elements are spaced at ?/2 in an array. However, in this paper we are made to generate the normalized radiation patterns for different spacing and different types of elements. It has been possible to control the radiation pattern by controlling the spacing between the elements. The arrays considered contain non-identical elements with non-uniform spacing. The results are useful for design of arrays to produce low side lobes for EMI suppression.

In adaptive sliding mode observer is designed for momentum biased satellites attitude tracking control with unmeasurable yaw attitude information [1]. A higher-order sliding-mode observer is proposed in nonlinear longitudinal dynamic equations. The observable states can be estimated exactly and the unobservable ones will be identified asymptotically [2]. Firstly, the system is decomposed into two low dimensional subsystems by a restricted system equivalent decomposed method. Secondly, the sliding mode controller is designed based on the restricted equivalent subsystems. The quadratic performance index optimal control technique is introduced to design the optimal sliding mode [3]. The stability of the nonlinear sliding mode is analysed. Simulation results are employed to test the effect of the proposed design algorithm [4]. A decentralized adaptive fuzzy approximation design to achieve attitude tracking control for formation flying in the presence of external disturbances and actuator faults [5].

For many researchers and scholars the first and most important task is to search for finding the relationship between language and sex and becoming aware of the differences between men and women’s speech. The present article seeks to formulate the differences of male and female characterizations in using a number of discursive structures such as nominals, passives and address forms in English and Persian. This article also makes a comparison between using these structures in Persian and English. To do so, three English dramas and five Persian dramas and scenarios are selected. In each language, 120 dyads (pairs of speech act) are separately analyzed, 40 male-female dyads, 40 male-male dyads, and 40 female-female dyads. Then, the frequency of using nominals, passives, first names, imperatives, and tag questions are computed. By using statistical test of nominal data, chi-square, the differences between male and female in using discursive structures are examined to see if the differences are significant or not. Also these differences in male-male interactions as well as female-female interactions are analyzed. This procedure is done both for the English and the Persian data. At the end, the similarities and differences between English and Persian in using nominals, passives and address forms are discussed.

For many of us, the concept of pollution is limited to nature and resources. However, noise that tends to disturb the natural sythms of life makes for one solid pollutant noise takes place when there is either exercise amount of noise or an unpleasant sound that causes temporary disruption in the natural balance. Large number of vehicle on road produce heavy noise and people get it difficult to get accustomed to that the high noise leads to different health problems like hearing problems, health issues sleeping disorders etc. the present work discusses the fundamentals of acoustics and analysis of vehicular traffic noise. A large number of sets of data were recorded at different dates in a random manner in order to account for statistical temporal variations in traffic flow conditions.
