The importance of qualitative housing units and by extension, the general environment on the life of individuals, communities and even nations at large, can never be over-emphasized. But unfortunately, achieving these have become nearly impossible, especially in the third world countries, despite the adoption of various national and international policy frameworks like Agenda 21 and the UN Habitat II. Thus, human settlements have become the avenues through which the physical environment is abused and misused to the detriment of the present and future generations. Among the chief problems bedevilling human settlements is the non implementation of development plans leading to the poor state of housing units and the surrounding environment, which in one way or the other, affects the residents psychologically and health-wise. Therefore, this paper assessed the relationship between housing quality and neighbourhood types in the relatively new formal and informal neighbourhoods of Minna. In order to achieve this, four neighbourhoods were randomly selected from each of the formal and informal areas. Consequently, a total of 97 questionnaires (representing 10% of the total population i.e. the housing units) were proportionally administered and the phi-coefficient technique of hypothesis testing was employed. The result of this showed that there is no statistically significant relationship between neighbourhood types and housing quality, i.e. the housing and environmental conditions of the selected formal and informal residential neighbourhoods are not statistically significantly different. Therefore, the paper recommended the computerisation of all land titles and documents in Minna in order to have a comprehensive data bank on land matters. It also recommended the development of a more pragmatic housing policy and programme where resources from both the public and private sectors would be mobilized in order to massively improve the conditions of the existing housing stock as well as the construction of new ones.

The security of cloud users, a few proposals have been presented recently. Core objective of using cloud is to provide Security, Scalability, Availability, Performance, and Cost effective. A Safe Cloud Storage to provide con?dentiality and fine-grained access control for data stored in the cloud. This system enables the users to enjoy a secure outsourced data services at a minimized security management overhead. Here outsources not only the data but also the security management to the cloud in a trust way. Our system is fully integrates with Encryption , storing and retrival operations. Propose a threshold proxy re-encryption scheme and it integrates with decentralized erasure code such that a secure distributed system is formulated. Analyze and suggest appropriate limitations for the number of copies of a message transmitted to storage servers and the number of storage servers queried by a key server. These restrictions allow more flexible regulation between the number of storage servers and robustness.

Recruitment is the process of seeking out the attempting to attract individuals in external labour markets who are capable and interested in filling available job vacancies. It is critical to hire the right people who will dedicate themselves to a competitive and challenging career.

The word ‘electronic banking’ is no more new today in the 21st century. It has been made possible due to the development and use of computers and the internet. The Internet has enabled small as well as large organizations to access global markets by offering online products and services. The main advantages of Internet Banking are time saving, low cost, and no geographical restrictions. In this regard, countries have incurred huge expenses to install modern eBanking technologies to provide simple, accessible, ease-to-use, and reliable services to both the customers and the bankers to carryout business online. However, research on the implementation and use of Information technology in the banking sector reports that there is not only a digital-divide among the customers of every state and city because of getting different eBanking facilities but also every customer is demographically different from others. This research is about the effects of demographics on the Prospects of eBanking in Dera Ismail Khan, KPK, Pakistan. The literature from different countries, including Pakistan has been analyzed to understand the problem and to develop a research model for testing in the native environment.

Radiation that coming from the natural radionuclides such as 226Ra (238U), 228Ra (232Th) and 40K can cause health risks if exposed for longer terms. The activity and radiological effect parameters of these natural radionuclides were determined in rock samples from Bukit Bunuh. The results of measurements showed that the average activity concentration of 226Ra varied from 22.5 to 42.3 Bq kg-1, for 228Ra, it varied from 1.2 to 3.5 Bq kg-1 and for 40K, it varied from 274.3 to 438.2 Bq kg-1. Based on the available data, the radiation hazard parameter is calculated. The external gamma dose rate calculated from the concentration of the three radionuclides ranged from 29.8 to 38.7 nGy h-1. Three calculated parameters from the activity concentration values, i.e. the radium equivalent activity (Raeq) range between 59.3 and 78.6 Bq kg-1 (mean 68.1 Bq kg-1), the representative level index (I?r) range between 0.46 and 0.59 (mean 0.50) and the external hazard index (Hex) range between 0.17 and 0.21 (mean 0.20). This is well below the recommended value of 370 Bq kg-1 (for Raeq) and unity (for Hex). The annual effective dose rate of the areas was determined to be between 0.037 and 0.048 mSv y-1. The results show that there are no significant health hazards to humans.

Human affiliative behaviors are indispensable for the physical and psychological wellbeing and normal development of individuals. However, how to study the neurobiology of affiliation from temperamental domain is little examined. Based on theoretical arguments about affiliative behaviors in temperamental domain, this review clarifies the concept of affiliative temperament, and then provides a review of the neurobiology of affiliative temperament by the integration of the mirror neuron system (MNS), the dopaminergic reward system, and the neuropeptides. Reviews show that affiliative temperament is firstly a complex and as a part of it, emotional contagion roots in the MNS from the birth. Secondly, the dopaminergic system relating to affiliative temperament can be divided into the regulative system including dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), anterior cingulated cortex (ACC), and the evaluative system including superior temporal sulcus (STS), ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens (NAcc), insula, and amygdala. Thirdly, oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VAP) modulate neural circuits in VTA and NAcc. Finally, structural and functional abnormalities in affiliation-related brain circuits contribute to the pathogenesis of psychopathological disorders as well as antisocial behaviors.

In this paper, we present the concept demonstrating some of the possibilities of nanotechnologies might enable in the future communication devices. Nanotechnology aloows control of physical problem of nanostructures and devices with single molecule precision. The device is build by numerous nano-transistors. This device is used for sensing toxicity of the materials. The devices constructed by nanotechnology can be stretched and folded to desired length since it has the strength of spider silk. As the transistors are temperature dependent, the devices are auto-chargeable when exposed to sunlight (solar energy). Nanoscale electronics are invisible to human eye, the devices are transparent.

Variation in load frequency is an index for normal operation of power systems. When load Perturbation takes place anywhere in any area of the system, it will affect the frequency at other areas also. To control load frequency of power systems various controllers are used in different areas, but due to non-linearity's in the system components and alternators, these controllers cannot control the frequency quickly and efficiently. The simple neural networks can alleviate this difficulty. This paper deals with the Artificial Neural Network ( ANN) is applied to self tune the parameters of Proportional-Integral-Derivative(PID) ontroller. The single, Two Area non-reheat system has been considered for simulation of the proposed self tuning ANN based PID controller. In the PID controller parameters are continuously adjusted according to the change in area-control error (ACE). Simulations of the networks are carried out for different load changes 1% and change of 1% in governor time constant and turbine time constant parameters. The proposed method for simulation results are obtained by the other controllers of PI and PID compared highlighting the performance of PID-ANN controller. The simulation works developed by MATLAB- SIMULINK Environment. The simulink results are obtained by qualitatively and quantitatively .The qualitative comparison is used for the Integral Square Error (ISE), Integral Absolute Error (IAE) and Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) is minimized in single and multi area power system. Therefore the Comparison of responses with conventional integral controller(PI) & PID controller show that the neural-network controller (ANN-PID) has quite satisfactory generalization capability, feasibility and reliability, as well as accuracy in both single and multi area power system.

This study was designed at investigating the relationship between the color of the sheet on which the act of translating is done and translation quality. To achieve this purpose, at first 180 B. A. students majoring in Translation selected randomly from Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran and Zand Institute of Higher Education. For the purpose of homogenizing the students’ knowledge of translation in the posttest, a pre-test was given to the students and after that 50 of these students whose scores were in the same range were selected and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group involved the students who translated the text on blue paper and the control group consisted of those who translated on white paper. Next the translations were assessed by three evaluators and the mean scores of the experimental and the control groups were then calculated individually by the researchers. To analyze the data, an independent sample t-test was used to see the mean difference of two groups. The results of the study indicated that the mean score of the students who translated on blue paper was higher than the mean score of those who translated on white paper but the difference was not significant (Sig. = 0.690). It means that according to the statistical analysis, the color of the sheet on which the act of translating was done had no significant effect on translation quality.
