The tri-nitrophenol p-hydroxyacetophenone (TNPHAP) single crystal was grown from aqueous solution by Sankaranarayanan-Ramasamy (SR) unidirectional growth method. The grown crystal with cylindrical shape about 12 mm diameter and 55 mm length was obtained by S-R technique. The formation of TNPHAP was confirmed by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies. The optical properties of grown crystal has been analyzed by UV-Vis absorption studies. The mechanical strength of the grown crystal has been studied using Vicker’s microhardness tester. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss was studied as the function of frequencies. The results are discussed in detail.

This article is a comprehensive study to find out the maximum age group victims of certain diseases due to the usage of pesticide Endosulfan people in South Indian State of Kerala (Palakkad and Kasargod) using CETD matrix. In the year 2003 W.B.Vasantha used to study migrant labours who were affected by HIV/AIDS. For this paper the data have been collected from Palakkad and Kasargod District of Kerala covering 101 victims.

Deployment of maintenance and quality management systems comprehensively (TPM and TQM) have an important role in improving the productivity of manufacturing industries. Results of studies confirmed that implementation of TPM and TQM systems in many industries have not been successful. This research evaluated TPM and TQM deployment readiness in the Iranian prominent automaker, Pars Khodro, by appointing three different enablers. Research findings indicate that General and TPM enablers in Pars khodro are desirable, while TQM enablers should be boost.

This research paper is about "celebrating Esfandgan", which aims at understanding the customs of ancient Persia, and transmit it to future generations is performed. In this study, which is an effort in order to preserve the legacies of the past, the definition of "Sepandar Mazgan", are very different in culture and resources, and how the ritual celebrations in different parts of the country, and also because the difference in time to hold it in different periods, have been studied. According to the March party providers, as the celebration of "Women of the earth", is held in this study, the relationship between these two cases have been investigated. Well as parts of the Avesta, the two poems in praise , and the common denominator is that enhance are referenced. Given that, Valentine, among the Romans, called the day of love is named, as well as Sepandar Mazgan celebrate the Day of the Woman, the epitome of love, has been named in the investigation of how the appearance of Valentine's Day , Rome and Persia, is also noted.

This paper investigates types of intransitive verbs in Persian. Although six types of intransitive Persian verbs have one argument in their argument structure, they different to their derivation. We divide them into unergative, unaccusative, passive, attributive constructions, middle constructions and ergative. To classify intransitive Persian verb we use the operations like argument suppression, argument structure, argument deletion and externalization, external argument and internal argument (Williams 1981, Marantz 1984). This research supports the absolute theory of argument structure (Jackendoff 1972, Grimshaw 1990, chung 1993) also this study cast hight or the semantic and syntactic aspects of those constructions.

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of the Oracle VirtualBox and VMWare virtualization technologies. The study focuses on the performance of disk I/O, memory and CPU operations under virtualization infrastructures. This performance is measured by benchmarking tools like Iozone for disk I/O performance, RAMspeed for memory performance and UnixBench for CPU performance. Results of benchmarking tools will identify which technology is better than other and in what respect.

The goal of this study was to evaluate Distortion Product Otoacoustic emissions in the normal hearing subjects regarding to the following variables; ear side & gender. The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the ear side and gender on the distortion product Otoacoustic emission of normal hearing Iraqi population of age (21-30) years. The decision about whether a Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission is present often depends on a visual assessment of the response along with certain objective criteria, such as DP1 level (amplitude) and the signal-to-noise ratio of the response compared to the noise. DPOAEs were considered present when the signal was at least 3 dB above the corresponding noise level. In the present study, the overall SNR for each tested ear was more than 3 dB SPL at the overall frequency bands. The findings from this study revealed an ear asymmetry and gender effect on the parameters of the DPOAEs (SNRs dB SPL &DP1 level dB) in Iraqi subjects. Right ears were found to produce higher DPOAEs-SNRs than left ears and The DPOAEs (DP1 level dB) in the right ears was higher than that in the left ears .The minimum value of the whole Signal-to-noise ratio (SNRs) recorded for all tested ears was above 3 dB SPL over frequency bands 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 kHz. The mean value of the whole SNRs in 56 ears was (10.53 dB SPL), ranged from 3.0 to 28.30 dB SPL. In females; the mean value of whole SNRs (11.27 dB SPL) was higher than that in males (9.8 dB SPL). The mean value of SNRs in the right ears female (11.38 dB SPL) was higher than that in the left ears female (11.16 dB SPL), while in male; the mean value of SNRs in the right ears male (10.08 dB SPL) was higher than that in the left ears male (9.52 dB SPL). The results show The minimum and the maximum value of the whole Distortion product (DP1 Level) recorded for all tested ears (56) was -10.7 and 25.6 dB respectively over frequency bands 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 kHz. The mean value of the whole DP1 level in 56 ears was (6.50 dB), ranged from (-10.7 to 25.6 dB). In females; the mean value of whole DP1 Level (7.72 dB) was higher than that in males (5.28 dB). The mean value of DP1 level in the right ears female (8.22 dB) was higher than that in the left ears female (7.23 dB), while in male; the mean value of DP1 level in the right ears male (5.58 dB) was higher than that in the left ears male (4.98 dB).

Lead graphite-pencils have been associated in our daily life but it could be an easy source for understanding many unexplained properties of graphite based materials. The present work shows that lead pencils belong not only to the class of heterogeneous materials but also exhibited good soft ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. The structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL) were studied. Ohmic nature of the material was confirmed by electric conductivity studies.

The objective of this note is to present data pertaining to the basic needs and minimal requirements of water for sustenance and survival. In view of the concerns expressed by various agencies and citizen groups on the dwindling water supplies and the lack of access to clean water in many parts of the world, this note may help the reader to put in perspective the quantity of available water resources and the basic per capita water needs and minimal requirements of humans for their survival to carry on their other daily activities. India is taken as a case in point to examine the availability of its water resources for various uses. Other developing countries may make their own inventories of water available for various uses, and how they can meet the daily minimum needs of their people. The questions posed in the epilog section of this note are provided for readers to think seriously as to what can be done to ensure the sustainability of the economic growth of developing countries, and still preserve the quality and quantity of existing water resources.

Cloud computing is a paradigm from traditional computing, offers services over the Internet. The education system evolved in the culture, experiencing the paper maintained records for the report and all critical information of individual school management. In our research work, the system design for School management's information have been proposed and implemented through GCM methodology, where it has been molding as an application with the help of servers, to notify the student’s information like academic progress and enable to track them online by the parents, with accurate results. The scheme makes a more reliable, flexible approach to deliver up to date information to the ward's parents.
