Influence of age and locality on coping strategies among Iranian women
The present study is an attempt to assess the influence of age and locality on coping strategies among Iranian women in Esfahan Province. A total of 880 Iranian women randomly selected from Esfahan province for the present study. They were administered coping checklist , which measured coping strategies in healthy cognitive, social support, spiritual related, physical activity related, problem solving, unhealthy coping, and high risk coping. The results were analyzed through One-way ANOVA. Results revealed that in unhealthy coping habits, respondents below 20 years, 21-35 years and 51-65 years found to use more of unhealthy coping habits compared to other age groups. Further, significant differences between women from rural and urban areas in physical activity related, problem solving, and unhealthy cognitive strategies. Social work measures to improve the conditions of women in general have been discussed.

Immigration: problems and prospects
The global volume of immigration is high in absolute terms, but low in relative terms. The International Integration and Refugee Association estimated 190 million international migrants in 2005, about 3 percent of The Middle East, some parts of Europe, small areas of South East Asia, and a few spots in the West Indies have the highest percentages of immigration population recorded by the UN Census 2005. The International Organization for Migration said there are more than 200 million migrants around the world today. Europe hosted the largest number of immigrants, with 70.6 million people in 2005, the latest year for which figures are available. North America, with over 45.1 million immigrants, is second, followed by Asia, which hosts nearly 25.3 million. Most of today's migrant workers come from Asia.[1].

Solanum torvum as a green inhibitor for aluminium corrosion in alkaline medium and its adsorption characteristics
The inhibitive effect of the extract of Solanum torvum leaves on the corrosion of aluminium in 1M NaOH solution was studied using at weight loss method at 30 - 60?C. The extract acts as an excellent corrosion inhibitor with 91% efficiency at the highest concentration in the alkaline environment and the inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of the extract. The adsorption of the inhibitor on aluminium surface decreases with rise in temperature, suggesting physical adsorption of the organic matter on the metal surface. These results were supported by kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for corrosion and adsorption processes calculated from the experimental data at the various temperatures studied.

High-frequency induction of multiple shoots of Stevia rebaudiana bertoni through in vitro Micropropagation techniques
An efficient, rapid and large scale propagation of the elite exotic, zero calorie, medicinal plant, Stevia rebaudiana Bert. through in vitro axillary bud multiplication was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of BAP, Kn and Ascorbic acid. However, the high frequency of morphogenetic response from axillary meristem was optimized on MS medium supplemented with 5.5µm BAP along with 50 mg/l Ascorbic acid. On average 90-91 shoots were induced per-explant of the initial material. Non-rooted shoots were sub-cultured to ½ MS medium containing IBA (0.2-1.0µm) for rooting. However, shoots readily formed roots (100%) when sub-cultured to ½ MS basal medium containing IBA 0.5 µm. The rooted micro-shoots were carefully transferred to soil rite TC mix: garden soil: compost (1:1:1 v/v/v) and subsequently shifted to the field with a survival rate of 70±7%.

Growth and characterization of a new organic nonlinear optical 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2MN) single crystal
2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2MN) an intriguing new organic material for frequency conversion has been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. Their structural, optical and physicochemical properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR and UV-Vis spectra. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system with point group m and space group Cs. The material has a wide transparency in the entire visible region. It is found that the cutoff wavelength lies in the UV region. The mechanical response of the crystal has been studied using Vickers microhardness technique. The SHG relative efficiency of 2MN crystal was found to be 12 times higher than that of KDP and 1.6 times higher than that of Urea.
