Working capital management directly effects profitability of any firm. In this study, we select a sample of 33 Pakistani manufacturing firms for the period of 6 years from 2005-2010.We examined the effect of different policies of working capital management AIP (aggressive investment policy) and AFP (aggressive financing policy) on ROA (Return on asset), ROE (Return on equity), ROC (Return on capital). Descriptive analysis and regression analysis are used. The outcome of study shows that there is a significant relationship of ROA and ROC with AIP and AFP. Which means that change in AFP and AIP causes change in ROA and ROC. This study also shows that there is insignificant relationship of ROE with AIP and AFP.

The power dissipation in a system-level attributes to buses is increasing in VLSI circuits. Therefore reduce of power consumption in switching activity at the I/O ports can save significant save of power. Change of voltage level on the wires significant power consumptions. As the technology scaled down, the increased wire aspect ratio (height/width) reduce the spacing between individual bus wires. This resulted in the domination of coupling capacitance. There are so many techniques have been proposed to reduce the coupling activity along with the self-switching activity. Initially, Bus invert method can be applied to encode buses without prior knowledge of data statistics. Another encoding technique called “Sequence Switch Coding for low-power data transmission” (SSC) was proposed by Myungchul Yoon to minimize Self Transition activity in buses. Among the Bus Invert method and Sequence Switch Coding, the Bus Invert method has gained popularity because of its better energy reduction (upto25.45%). However, both Bus Inver and SSC bus encoding techniques reduce only self transitions and do not consider the effect of coupling transitions. Therefore, it is important to minimize the power dissipation and cross talk delay by minimizing the both self transitions and coupling transitions on bus for the fast and safe VLSI circuits. A new technique isintroduced by doing some modifications to existing SSC technique given by Myungchul Yoon et.al, to reduce the energy dissipation and delay on DSM bus through encoding the data on the bus.

Nowadays, most of managers play an important and essential role in obtaining the competitive advantages, also, they have realized going along with strategic purposes of organization. Moreover, knowledge management became as a competitive obligation in organizations. In spite the fact that a competitive obligation, if leaders cannot provide appropriate infrastructures and necessary prerequisite for the layout of knowledge management system, it will result in human resources repulsion and financial resources loss. This research is based on investigating the effect of empowering on accepting knowledge management system in petrochemical economic special zone in Mahshahr. In this research, Statistic society consists of 250 operation, middle and top managers of PET. Zone which is based on Kukran sampling formula, volume of sample was determined 158 people. The method that was applied in this research is descriptive – measurable. The results which obtained from this study indicate that all four hypotheses have been confirmed.

Principals’ leadership behavior plays an important role in transforming societies through the best performance of their teachers. This study was focused on the investigation of leadership behavior of principals at secondary school level in southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The survey research design was used. The study determines leadership behavior of secondary school principals as perceived by teachers. The study was delimited to Southern Districts of Khyber Pakhtukhwa, Pakistan and to the government boys’ Secondary Schools. The population of this study was comprised all teachers of government boys’ Secondary Schools of Southern Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Multistage random sampling technique was used, from the population four districts i.e. Kohat, Karak, Bannu and LakkiMarwat were selected randomly and then from each district ten schools and from each school ten teachers were selected randomly and thus the sample was stood 400 teachers of 40 Secondary Schools. The data was collected through a questionnaire developed by the researcher. The collected data was analyzed using Mean and Standard deviation to provide answer to the research question. It was concluded that the perceived leadership behavior of principals was above average and was good according to the scale.

Development of a suitable lightweight system in which a sensor is airborne for carrying out surveillance. The sensor should remain airborne for a minimum of 2 minutes at a minimum height of 30 meter and above to do imaging of a proportionate area below. Recognizable real time video information should be transmitted to the ground receiver point suitably located in the observation area. Sensor should be able to detect man-sized objects in above-mentioned conditions. Proposed solution should take up design of configuration and identification of suitable options for sensor, data link, ground observation & control points and other support system(s). System configuration details comprising of sensor, data link, observation, data processing mechanism and support system should form part of the design. There are many approaches for motion detection in a continuous video stream. All of them are based on comparing of the current video frame with one from the previous frames or with something that we'll call background. The camera IC will provide high level functionality for all applications. This camera IC is controlled by microcontroller which is connected to it. The camera automatically focuses the object up to 50 m and is controlled by microcontroller.

The present study was carried out to determine on hydrography; composition and community structure of zooplankton at the Muthupettai mangrove environment, Palk Strait (Southeast coast of India), during February 2006 to January 2007. Physico-chemical parameters and nutrients such as air temperatures, surface water temperatures, salinity, pH, light extinction coefficient (LEC), dissolved oxygen , nitrite, nitrate, inorganic phosphate and silicate were at the ranges of 21-32.8ºC, 23- 31.0°C, 14.5- 34‰,7.4-8.3, 0.21- 0.83, 3.01 to 5.33mg/1, 0.122 to 2.08?M, 0.911 to 6.00?M, 1.03 to 2.98?M and 30.21 to 102.21?M, respectively. The maximum density was found during summer season coinciding with the stable hydrographical conditions. Totally 92 species of zooplankton besides 18 larvae were recorded and the foraminifera and copepods formed the dominant group. Higher values of zooplankton density and species diversity were found during premonsoon and summer seasons and which showed positive correlation with salinity. The seasonal distribution and abundance of plankton are discussed in relation to hydrographical parameters.

To carry out this research, Baku Today news site was selected as the source of news. The number of headlines arrived at a total of 200. This research was directed toward studying the syntactic and lexical features of headlines. The investigation began with the description of the basic units of analysis in the English headline structures (categories, word classes, constructions). In doing so, for the analysis of the structure of English headlines, the grammatical framework provided by Quirk, Greenbaum, Leech and Savartvik (1985) was chosen. As mentioned before, this study pinpointed the cases of utilization of lexical and syntactic features in Azeri headlines in order to see in what ways they are organized. Below is a brief description of syntactic and lexical features.

Now-a-days, the vehicles are becoming more sophisticated with features like GPS navigation and airbags for safety. In spite of this the victims of the accidents which occur at remote locations do not get prompt medical service. There are several cases where the accident victims lose their lives due to lack of medical assistance. In such situations the advancements in technology does not seem to be useful. This paper specifies the system that would automatically detects an accident and notifies the nearest rescue service which will enable the accident victim to receive instant medical help and assistance.
