In this work, the Authors reported the medical case of a 24 years old patient who is originally from Cameron. He was diagnosed onchocerciasis disease and treated at the age of 15 years in homeland. Currently, he is followed in the service of Ophthalmology B-Hospital of Specialist, bilateral chorioretinitis for onchocerciasis, asymmetric. The patient is equally treated from a complete eye examination including measurement of visual acuity, examination of interior segment and the bottom eye. Beside this, we have perfpormed fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomométrie of the electroretinogram were performed. The laboratory test that we performed was negative. The patient was given a treatment of doxycycline and Ivermétine. Our medical case is rare in its nature which has given the development of ocular manifestations of onchocerciasis outside the endemic areas of Morocco.

Tin doped zinc oxide thin films have been deposited by reactive evaporation, the deposition has been done at various doping levels ranging from 1% to 8%. The optical properties have been characterized using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer, the data for transmittance has been used for further analysis using scout. The transmittance of doped thin films has been found to be > 75% while for those of as prepared samples has been found to be even higher. The bandgap calculations have shown that the band gap for as prepared and doped thin films ranges between 2.95 – 3.95 eV. The electrical characterization has been done mainly at room temperature using a well calibrated four point probe. The sheet resistivity has been found to range from 24.3-26.7 Ohm cm. The coating have been found to be suitable for antireflectance as well as transparent contacting oxide applications.

The validity of equation-of-state (EOS) of geophysical minerals is very important for various scientific fields including geophysics, material science and high-pressure physics. In the present work we have calculated pressure , isothermal bulk modulus , first pressure derivative of isothermal bulk modulus and second order pressure derivative of isothermal bulk modulus in terms of for MgO and Al2O3, using different equation of state. Using the values of these parameters we have computed the values of Gruneisen parameter ( ) corresponding to different values of V/V0 and graphs are plotted for Gruneisen parameter ( ) vs. v/v0 for MgO and Al2O3. From these plots it is clear that the Brennan-Stacey and Shanker EOS is compatible both low and high compression ranges for calculating Gruniesen parameter where as Vinet EOS is not compatible for calculating the Gruniesen parameter at low compression ranges.

The essence of this paper is to introduce the notion of pseudo ?-open sets and pseudo ?-closed sets. More results on compactness, co compactness, ?- compactness and ?-cocompactness in ditopological texture spaces are analysed. Many effective characterizations and properties of these concepts are also obtained.

Literature has always been employed as a source for voicing trepidations and reconnoitering social productions, issues, malfunctioning and identities. It has allowed writers to give vent to their shared experiences while crafting novel and imaginative worlds which can be deduced by observers in numerous ways. Language, the main ingredient of literature, is acknowledged as a social stimulus and also a stimulus of social progress that has trailed its way for unknown ages, which is above all capricious and subjective dictums and existed unbridled by fiat or decree. The capacity and possibility of infinite influence, which language can hold, is marked in the narrative of the text itself. Within the novel of Roy “The God of Small Things” power and force of language is used in order to express multiple social identities and social mal-behaviors. Language, as a device for understanding and structuring social rationalities and social transgressions, plays a dynamic role in the creation and establishment of the untouchables’ place in Indian society in Roy’s novel. This will be illustrated by looking at how language offers voice to those who have once been silenced in a given social mosaic. In order to provide a base for a better comprehension of the role of language within the novel under consideration, Lecercle’s ideas about the force of language are very helpful.

In this paper the Orlicz space of Hahn sequence of fuzzy numbers is introduced. Some properties of this sequence space like solidness, symmetricity, convergence free are studied. Some inclusive relations involving this sequence space are also obtained.

Today one of the crisis ecological affecting the world is the phenomenon of desertification. We require a proper understanding of causes and processes of desertification to control the huge phenomenon on the global and regional situation. Desertification is more related to social and anthropogenic issues than natural causes and it becomes more important over the time. Human effects on desertification could be classified as direct and indirect factors. We used ICD method to estimate and assessment of desertification in 456 km2 of Koohdasht basin lands. This method was introduced in 1995 by Ekhtesasi and Mohajer , checking human and environment factors that contributing to desertification of the area, at the end will be introduced the intensity of desertification. The first we collect the data of area then we used ILWIS software to separate the facies in basin and value the parameters of ICD method, we attain the intensity of desertification for each facies and whole basin. The analysis indicated that 35.2 % of land in basin located in low class, 31.99 in medium class, 32.7% had high class and the total area is located in medium class. As well as recognized the most importance factor is human activity.

The authors have treated 29 cases of infected pseudarthrosis of tibia: 12 complications of open fractures of legs with loss bone stabilized firstly by external fixator; 09 closed fractures treated traditionally by jbira seen in pseudarthrosis infected, 05 cases of septic nonunion arising after plate osteosynthesis and 03 cases following centromedullary nailing. In all cases, two stage reconstruction: Initial surgery consisted of soft tissue and bone debridement, external fixation completed by Dressing percutaneous a day by antiseptic and intravenously antibiotic. After any remaining infection, at last 6 to 8 weeks, the reconstruction of the soft tissue with a free microsurgical muscle flap and skin graft. The second stage surgery consisted to replace external fixator by intramedullary nailing and the osseous reconstruction was cancellous or corticocancellous grafting. The final result was obtained after an average of 24 months and was excellent in 15 cases, good in 12 and 02 failures were observed. On the infectious; remaining infection were observed in 02 and required amputation of leg. The modified method of Papineau seems superior to any other method used for treatment of infected pseudarthrosis of tibia.

In this paper we use a tool called Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCMs) defined by W.B.Vasantha Kandaswamy and Florentine Smarandache in the year 2003.In this paper we study to identify the cause of using Endosulfan in agriculture using NCMs which leads to most dangerous side effects in human beings faced by the peoples of South Indian state of Kerala (Kasargod and Palakkad Dt.). A detailed report on the harmful effects faced by the people with the usage of pesticide in India was telecasted in Star T.V. dated June 24, 2012 “SatyamevaJayathe” anchered by filim star Amir Khan.

This work is carried out to provide a corrective analysis of a typical water pipeline network with varied flow rates/discharges in order to obtain adequate pressure that must be maintained to cause a pipeline grid balance in a distribution network of a closed conduit. The network was taken to be analogous to a direct-electrical circuit analogy of current flow, which provides a simplified approach to complex distribution network problems. The fluid in the conduit is in a steady-state, hence the work adopts the application of steady-state energy equations of Darcy Weisbach, Hardy Cross and Hazen Williams in the analysis of head losses associated with flow through pipeline of varying sizes, bends, fittings, and surface roughness.
