Environmental friendly ? – Fe2O3nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via a facile and cost effective chemical precipitation method with the extraction of Nyctanthesarbortristis for the first time. Also it is undergone at room temperature for super capacitor applications and that was observed through electrochemical studies. The prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV visible spectroscopic studies. The powder X-ray diffraction study revealed the formation of ? - Fe2O3 in the case of annealed sample. Microscopic images displays that the ? – Fe2O3 nanoparticles were highly agglomerated in nature with the dimension of the order of 2 - 3 ?m. Cyclic voltammetry and simultaneous galvanostatic charge/discharge studies were performed in order to find out the suitability of the material for Supercapacitor applications. The electrochemical results explores that the annealed sample (? – Fe2O3) had improved performance due to its structural with superiority nature. Moreover, the capacitance retention of the ? - Fe2O3 based electrode shows highly stable performance and also its suitability as a lasting electrode material for Super capacitor applications.

Abstract: The present field study was conducted to find out the effect of different planting dates during rabi season from November to February in 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively on the infection of various viral diseases caused by Aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Aphis gossypii Glover and white fly, Bemisia tabaci Genn on potato at Adisaptagram Block Seed Farm, Hooghly, West Bengal. The four types of viral diseases, viz. mild mosaic, severe mosaic, leaf roll and apical leaf curl diseases were found to infect the potato crop in this locality. The incidence of viral diseases on potato crop was observed in between first and third week of January and then their infection was gradually increased up to full maturity of the crop. The percentage of viral disease infection was higher in late planted and harvested crop compared to those planted and harvested early. Per cent viral disease incidence was found maximum in P5 (26.25-35.50%), followed by P4 (28.00-30.75%), P3 (26.00-29.00%), P2 (24.00-25.50%) and P1 (17.75-18.00%) respectively. The per cent leaf roll disease incidence (9.00-20.75%) outnumbered the other viral diseases and maximum percentage of PLRV infection was found during later stage of the crop grown in all the five planting dates. The incidence of mild mosaic was slightly higher (4.00-8.00%) than the incidence of severe mosaic (2.50-5.50%) and it was mainly confined in early to middle phase of crop growth. The incidence of apical leaf curl disease was least and its infection was always higher in later planted crops. The maximum yield of potato tuber was found in P2, followed by P1, P3 and P5 respectively.

Objectives of the present study are to investigate empirically the impact of exports on economic growth of Indonesia. For empirical estimation of export function, simple log linear regression equation and the method of least squares have been utilized. Empirical results revealed that the impact of export is significant with positive sign during the study period. It means that due to promotion of exports, economic growth of Indonesia would increase. The findings of this study suggest that the policy makers need to expand volume of exports in order to achieve higher level of economic growth and improve social well-being of the community.

The subject of human resource is an important factor to improve manager’s characteristic as world-class talent and devolution and empowerment of employees. In the twenty-first century the significance of human intellectual capital in most necessary than other capital in an organization. Humans determine the value of organization due to their skill and specialization. They play a vital role in an organization along with its physical properties and in investment. Managers spend a lot of money for educating and training their workers and employees in order to increase the efficiency of the organizations managers function is the key to success and to achieve this objective, they must review and evaluate human resource data. Managers without proper information cannot function and take proper decisions. Human resource accounting while accounting principles in an organization is to conduct basic research to the extent of the human resource accounting information which affect the employees personal performance in human resource accounting analysis, criteria and valuation of cost and manpower is the main resource in each company. Human resource accounting is main part of the social accounting and aims to provide information and evaluation of managers decision-making. This article shows the important role of human resource accounting of managers decision-makings in organizations and studies how managers can put the human resource value in balance sheet by different models and collecting primary data in making questionnaires of some selected company and contribution of managers of organization and how much human resource accounting affect on managers decision-makings.

With growing pressure on service providers to reduce cost and improve quality of deliverables in shorter timelines, CDM organizations and professionals need to think out of the box to retain existing clients and win new clients. Traditionally LEAN techniques have been the stronghold of manufacturing, but in the last few decades they have been effectively used in the service industry, including healthcare. In CDM, LEAN has emerged as an impactful tool in improving process efficiency and reducing operational costs. It also allows professionals to engage with senior leadership in discussions around successful deployment of LEAN. The presentation will focus on the main LEAN principles, practices, tools and methodologies and a strategic approach for its successful deployment in CDM. It will focus on the key benefits that CDM can derive from LEAN techniques such as reducing waste, rework, redundancy in process, and providing deliverables with greater accuracy and shorter timeframes while also addressing challenges such as determining process/input/output metrics, end to end process streamline, longer wait/cycle times, resource utilization and measuring deliverables with less effort. This in turn will drive client delight.

In order to improve the efficiency of the work in daily life, we adopt the office automation (OA) system to assist the management and service. By the online function and automatic management with the system software, the daily works ran well, the working efficiency got improved. The practice implies that it is feasible to apply the OA system to the daily work and management.

Trichomonas vaginalis causes the Trichomoniasis, in women and urethritis and prostate cancer in men. Presently Metronidazole, nitroimidazoles and tinidazole are used as the drugs of choice. But the emergence of drug resistant and cross resistance varieties of T. vaginalis has led to a search for novel drug targets. We have performed an insilico comparative analysis of metabolic pathways of the host Homo sapiens and the pathogen T. vaginalis. Enzymes from the biochemical pathways of T. vaginalis from the KEGG metabolic pathway database were compared with proteins from the host H. sapiens, by performing a BLASTp search against the non-redundant database restricted to the H. sapiens subset. The e-value threshold cutoff was set to 0.005. Enzymes, which do not show similarity to any of the host proteins, below this threshold, were filtered out as potential drug targets. Out of total 55 metabolic pathway in humans 26 metabolic pathways were identified when compared to the host H. sapiens. These 26 identified metabolic pathways contain 30 unique enzymes which are only present in T. vaginalis and absent in humans. The T. vaginalis genes for the identified enzymes were also retrieved for BLASTP search to identify any homologous protein in humans. Cysteine synthase and methionine gamma-lyase are two novel drug targets which were also reported well in literature and thus can be used to designing of inhibitors for the remedy of trichomoniasis.

Neurological complications of infectious endocarditis (IE) occur in 20% to 40% of patients with IE and increase their risk (1). Most often, it is about embolisms, at the origin of ischemic vascular accidents, sometimes secondarily hemorrhagic. Central nervous system infections during IE are relatively rare (2,3,4): 6-7% for meningitis (2,4) and 1-4% for brain abscess (2,4). We report the case of a 34-year-old patient whose diagnosis of endocarditis complicated by massive mitral insufficiency by ruptured cordage was retained after a dramatic episode of meningoencephalitis, the origin of which was described as tuberculosis surgical treatment. The interest of this case lies in the importance to be accorded to the cardiovascular examination in the context of neurological emergencies, the scarcity of the tubercular origin of this affection and the medical and surgical challenge to raise in front of a patient carrying a massive mitral insufficiency, a candidate for cardiac surgery and subjected to an anti-bacillary treatment of difficult management

Employee empowerment seeks to increase the employees’ responsibility, build their morale and improve the quality of their work life by creating a working environment where an employee is allowed to make his own decisions or participate in the decisions of the management in specific work-related situations. Ideally, when an employee feels valued in an organization, he will be more productive, loyal and confident. The main purpose of this study was to establish the influence of employee empowerment on primary school teachers’ performance in Kakamega Central District., Kenya. The study used descriptive and correlation survey design to collect data from 164 teachers through questionnaires and document analysis. Data was analysed using frequencies, percentages and Pearson’s Product moment correlation coefficient test. The study concluded that the autonomy the teachers’ had in their work execution and the impact of their duties had the greatest influence on teachers’ performance. Competence, manifested as training, knowledge and skills they possessed had a minimal effect on teachers’ performance. The study recommends that employees should be encouraged to value their work and be allowed to participate in decision making especially on issues related to task accomplishment in a bid to enhance their performance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of PIF in relation to the types of plantain trees in Gbadolite in the Democratic Republic. The experimental set-up used was that of complete randomized blocks with 3 treatments (T1: French; T2: True Horn; T3: False Horn) and 3 replications. Weaned per cormus, 44 rejects; 32 rejects and 30 rejects respectively for the French, True Horn and False Horn types. The French type gave more weaned offspring than the true and false horn types under Gbadolite conditions. In short, the second hypothesis is confirmed. Therefore, the french type responds to this technique than the other types.
