Rapid globalization lead us on the way to industrialization. Sugar industry is one of the biggest consumer of water, and can also introduce serious pollutant to the environment. Chemical as well as biological treatment to these waste waters are in practice since long. Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) prepared from wood and nutshell charcoal with specific surface area of 5602.352 cm2/gm and particle size 44 ? m is used as an adsorbent to the combined waste water of Sugar mill at room temperature. The different dosage of PAC is kept in contact for 24 hours, then they will analyzed before and after treatment. The results of COD removal follow the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Abstract Most academic views of teaching theory have speculated that, it would be better to allow learners to state themselves when they are learning a second language it is usual to occasionally flash back into their first language which it can be helpful for them to learn better. According to this, mother tongue might be affect on the process of learning reading comprehension (decoding and interpreting) via translation into the first language. This paper aims to teach reading comprehension toward the use of mother tongue. Having expressed the problems of the topic and the limitations in chapter one, I reviewed the literature of the topic in chapter two. This study will be examined reading comprehension by using L1. After homogenizing via pre-test, forty Iranian girls with treatment and twenty without it who will between the ages of 20 to 30 will be carried out with the Nelson Proficiency Test. The result of the study will be obtained via analysis variance (ANOVA). Key words:Mother tongue,Reading Comprehension,EFL,Vocabulary

Vital role of exporting to the world and countless benefits of export for firms and countries cause the increasing attention to the determinants of firm export performance. However, despite numerous published works on determinants of firm export performance, the literatures are characterized by the inaccuracy in measurement of export performance determinants that led to inconsistent and opposing findings. The future research should attention the previous problems in evaluating determinants of firm export performance to facilitate theory development. This paper evaluates many studies concerning measurement of export performance determinants. This study organized into two sections: first, recognition the determinants of export performance that led to confuse and conflicting findings. Second, methods to evaluate export performance determinants are analyzed. In the end, the finding is discussed and direction for future research is mentioned.

Uniform sizedTiO₂ nanoparticleswere synthesized using the sol-gel method, and the resultant powdered TiO₂ samples was heated at 500^oC air atmosphere.  Samples characterized by the XRD, FTIR, TGA and SEM and the photocatalytic degradation of Rose bengal using TiO₂ nanoparticles havebeen tested under UV light irradiation at 352nm (Long Wavelength). The rate of degradation of Rose bengalwas monitored by measuring the decrease in the absorbance value. Experimental parameters, such as the amount of catalyst loading, dye and H₂O₂ concentrations and Fenton’s reagent was tested against the degradation rate. The degradation efficiency of the synthesized nanoparticles was tested against commercially available TiO₂ (Degussa P-25).

Sustaining Competitive Advantage is an issue of most concern to companies in the service industry in order to keep up with the increasingly competitive environment, as well as to attract new customers and retain the existing ones. Strategies with proper resources and drivers to sustain the advantages is what companies are trying to work on. Service quality strategy is one of these drivers and is a considerable aspect for customers and their perceptions about different bus companies in this case. With increasing competition for customers on the Nairobi-Mombasa route in Kenya, bus companies are slowly shifting from profit-orientation to service-orientation in a bid to woo customers. Service quality is strategic key to ensure survival in this cut-throat competition. The general objective of this research study was to establish the role of service quality strategy in sustaining competitive advantage in the public transport business, with particular analysis of Modern Coast Express. The specific objectives of this project were to find out how customer relationship strategies, loyalty scheme strategies and strategic brand management influenced sustainable competitive advantage in the bus company. From this, research questions were derived on how the three variables influence sustainable competitive advantage. The study employed a survey research design in data collection which was descriptive in nature. Quantitative data collection method was adopted whereby data was gathered using questionnaires administered to the respondents. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis were used to analyze the research variables. In general, results revealed that customer relationship strategies, loyalty scheme strategies and strategic brand management have significant and positive effects on sustainable competitive advantage at Modern Coast Express. This research recommends that to gain and sustain competitive advantage in public transport business in Kenya, managers should take into consideration and develop customer relationship strategies, loyalty scheme strategies and strategic brand management.

Shahnameh is a comprehensive collection containing sixty thousand lines due to mystical, heroic, and historical careers. The mystical career includes the kingdom of Kaumars to Fereidun concerning with Kaveh’s revolution until Rustam’s death. The historical career is based upon the end of Kian’s kingdom and after mingling with heroic tales.One of the most important sources of Shahnameh is Aboomansuri’s Shahnameh. Furthermore, there are some tales about Rustam and Garshasb’s tribes, while the narrator is Azadsarr.Ferdusi has considered the ancestor’s plot very much, he said, he has made a big palace which was untouched by rain and wind, and it would not be disturbed by passing years.

The study of liquid/solutions using acoustical methods constitutes the mining field for scientists. Compressibility measurements are highly accurate and yield interesting informations. The sign and magnitude of compressibility indicates the solvation effects. The structural changes in the primary and secondary regions are generally referred to as solvation. The thermochemical parameters have been proven to be a very useful tool in elucidating the structural interactions taking place in the solutions. In the present investigation, BMIMBr is dissolved in formamide and the fundamental quantities are measured in various molalities and the temperatures ranging from 278.15K to 328.15K. In the present study, the solvation of BMIMBr in non-aqueous medium is taken for interpreting the various interactions occuring between the solute and solvent and the effect of temperature and concentration on solvation is also analyzed.

This paper contains the results of a new experimental study of the temperature effect on density and ultrasonic velocity for peanut (Arachis hypogaea), canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L. and Brassica juncea) and rosa mosqueta (Rosa affinis rubiginosa L.) oils. The Halvorsen’s model (HM), and Collision Factor Theory (CFT) were selected for prediction of these properties, attending to ease of use and range of application. An accurate response was observed, despite of the use of molecular group contribution procedures for estimation of theoretical critical points and the complex nature of the studied fluids.

ABSTRACT The FT-IR and FT Raman spectra of 2,4,4-Trimethyl-2-oxazoline (TMOZ) molecule have been recorded in the region 4000-400cm-1 and 3500-50cm-1 respectively. Optimized geometrical parameters, harmonic vibrational frequencies and depolarization ratio have been computed by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method and basis sets. The observed FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational frequencies are analysed and compared with theoretically predicted vibrational frequencies. The geometries and normal modes of vibration obtained from DFT method are in good agreement with the experimental data. The Mulliken charges, the natural bonding orbital (NBO) analysis, the values of electric dipole moment (µ) and the first-order hyperpolarizability (?0) of the investigated molecule were computed using DFT calculations. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies shows that charge transfer occur within molecule. The influences of oxygen and hydrogen atoms on the geometry of benzene and its normal modes of vibrations have also been discussed. Unambiguous vibrational assignments of all the fundamentals was made using the total energy distribution (TED).
