Model-To-Model Transformation with approach by modeling: From UML to IoC Application model
The continuing evolution of business needs and technology makes applications more demanding in terms of development, maintenance, usability and management. To cope with this complexity, various frameworks and patterns are integrated for producing stable, maintainable and testable code. Given this diversity of solutions, the generation of a code based on UML models has become important. This paper presents, after establishing the different meta-models, the application of the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) to generate, from the UML model, the Code following the IoC (Inversion of Control) and Dao (Data Acces Object) patterns. The model-to-model transformations are also clearly and formally established by using the standard MOF 2.0 QVT (Meta-Object Facility 2.0 Query-View-Transformation) as transformation language. The transformation rules defined in this paper can generate, from the class diagram, an XML file containing the Business and the Data Access package. This file can be used to generate the necessary code of an architecture overview of IoC and DAO patterns.

An investigation of counsellor burnout levels and intervention strategies in public and private universities in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Institutional counsellors, like all mental health professionals are at a high risk of suffering burnout. High caseloads and job role ambiguity increase their propensity for burnout. The purpose of this study was to establish counsellor burnout levels in public and in private universities in Uasin Gishu County. The target population comprised of counsellors from all public and private universities in Uasin Gishu County. The Maslach Burnout Inventory Questionnaire (MBIQ) was used to collect data. The study established that burnout levels among counsellors in the public universities were found to be higher than in the private universities. The caseloads handled by counsellors in public universities were generally higher than those of their counterparts in private universities due to the student-counsellor ratio in public universities which was higher than the recommended ratio. Counsellor Training Institutions (CTI) should incorporate burnout theoretical knowledge in the counsellor training curriculum. The findings are significant to the management of universities and other learning institutions in formulating policies on student-counsellor ratio. Key words: Counsellor, Burnout, Burnout levels, Public University, Private University

DFT and TD-DFT study of (E)-3-(5-(anthracen-3-yl)- hexahydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-7-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid dye for Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Application
In this study, the optimized geometries, electronic structures, polarizability, hyper polarizability and dipole moment of the chosen (E)-3-(5-(anthracen-3-yl)-hexahydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-7-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid (E-3-2- CYANOACRYLIC ACID) dye sensitizer has been analyzed by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) calculations (based on hybrid functional B3LYP). The HOMO and LUMO energies of the dye (E-3-2- CYANOACRYLIC ACID) are -4.84 and -2.22 eV respectively based on DFT calculations. To understand the conversion efficiency of the chosen dye architecture unit we selected TiO2 as a model for semiconductor. Results reveal that the selected dye sensitizer exhibits large dipole moment difference between the ground and excited state which is comparable to that of metal based dye sensitizers. Results concluded that intramolecular energy transfer is occurring in (E-3-2- CYANOACRYLIC ACID) and further the large dipole moment would be expected to give high photo-current conversion efficiency in practical Dye sensitizer solar cells (DSSC) besides promising candidate as a sensitizer for DSSC applications.

Evaluation of Efficiency of Thermally Treated and Sulphuric acid Activated Sesamum Indicum carbons for Cd(II) removal from Aqueous solution
The efficiencies of activated carbons prepared from oil cake of Sesamum Indicum by thermal and sulphuric acid activation wereinvestigated for the removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Various parameters as a function of contact time, initialpH, initial adsorbent dosage and metal ion concentrations were studied. The optimum time required for the maximum removal of Cd(II) was found to be 1 hr for TAGOC and 2 hrs for STGOC. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The equilibrium adsorption isotherms showed that activated carbon has high affinity and sorption capacity for Cd(II) with monolayer sorption capacities of 44.92 mg/g for TAGOC and 35.97 mg/g for STGOC. The kinetic study indicated that the pseudo-second order rate equation better described the adsorption process. The adsorbent efficiency was also tested for the removal of Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) from synthetic electroplating wastewater. The results indicated that the prepared both activated carbons are efficient (99.9%), alternative low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) and other metal ions from waste water.

Non-linear modeling of rainfall runoff in Bearma Sub-Basin, Bundelkhand Using ANN
Water is one of the important natural resource available to mankind. Proper utilization of this resource requires assessment and management of the quantity and quality both spatially and temporally. A mathematical model provides quantitative mathematical description of the processes which includes a collection of mathematical equations expressing relationships between input and output variables through establishing and estimating the relevant parameters. The ANN models have been used successfully to model the complex non-linear input-output relationship. An ANN can be defined as data processing system consisting of a large number of samples. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have found increasing applications in various aspects of hydrology. The study revealed that a feed-forward artificial neural network with back propagation algorithm having a single hidden layer with two neurons in the hidden layer was able to model the rainfall-runoff transformation quite accurately. The correlation coefficient during the training varies between 0.88 and 0.93 and during testing varies between 0.78 and 0.95 respectively whereas the model efficiency varies between 73.70% and 85.77% with an overall efficiency of 81.18% during training and between 52.62 % and 90.01 % with an overall efficiency of 66.71% during testing.
