How menopause affects oral health: A comprehensive review on current knowledge
Menopause is associated with a large number of symptoms ranging from physical to psychological. These symptoms may unfavorably affect oral health and treatment needs requiring dentists to be aware of the symptoms and health care needs of peri-menopausal/menopausal/postmenopausal women. After menopause, women become more susceptible to periodontal disease. Various internets based popular search engines were used to explore related data from literature, which includes PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane, Google, Medknow, Ebsco, Science Direct, and IndMed. Upon compilation of relevant data, it was observed that periodontal health is most severely affected (up to 60%) followed by dry mouth (25%) and burning mouth (glossodynia; 15%) which, in turn, may increase the occurrence of oral mucosal and dental diseases, such as candidiasis. We believe the problem is due in large part to estrogen deficiency with resulting bone loss and inflammatory processes. Osteoporosis and periodontal disease are best diagnosed early so that treatment can be started sooner and fractures and tooth loss can be prevented.

Impact of workforce diversity and managerial expertise on the organization’s effectiveness
Workforce diversity is the simplest way that gives three types of outcomes any organization which is quality, quantity and social integration. As the theories shows, by different experts like Sociotechnical theory (Kolodny & Kiggundu, 1980; Trist & Bamforth, 1951), group process and productivity theory (Steiner, 1972), input–process–output models (Gladstein, 1984; Hackman & Morris, 1975; McGrath, 1984). Work force diversity includes different demographic factors like age, gender, experience and educational background. Different theories are given by different experts on these factors. In diversity difference of gender leads to high conflicts in group works. High level management teams with greater age diversity were less likely to engage in agreement-seeking behaviors that could result in reaching strategic consensus. Educational background is main factor in diversity. Employees are come from different regions only the education is the main thing that leads him in a proper way to work as an employee in an organization. And at the end leadership is only the way to handle the diversity in the organization. Only an expert leader can lead his work force through motivation and other ways like training and development of employees to work as a member of the organization. So a leader should have the both styles transactional and transformer. In simple words we can say workforce diversity and good leadership can work better for the enhancement of the organization.

Implementation of energy efficient adder for ALU using modified pass transistor logic
We present two high speed and low power full adder cells designed with modified pass transistor logic styles that lead to have a reduced power delay product (PDP) as compared to the previous logics DPL and SR-CPL logic. We carried out a comparison against other full adders reported as having a low PDP, in terms of speed and power consumption. All the full-adders were designed with a 0.12µm CMOS technology. Simulations of the circuit show that the proposed full-adders have reduced the power from 0.326mW to 0.242mW.

Interaction among, Malay, Chinese and Indian civilization
Interaction process could occur via various means for instance, trade, war, exploration, settlement, colonist, media or entertainment. It can be observed through assimilation process resulting from the clashes of religion, language, customs, food or clothing or other elements. Indirectly, we can witness huge and prominent civilizations dominateless prominent ones. Generally, there are four types of interaction switch can best describe the occurrence among civilization; physical interaction, theological or religious interaction, science and technology interaction and cultural interaction(Zulkifli Dahlan:2009).

Job-employed fit and the effects on personnel's emotional intelligence
The job- employed fit is one of fundamental issues in human resource management. It has been improved that, this fit is an organizational necessity for the human source profitability. So, the main aim in this research is to investigate the job- employed fit and the effects on female personnel's emotional intelligence among governmental organizations in Kermanshah. This research is conducted based on descriptive and surveying method; the instruments to collect data include queries; the Salovey & Mayer standard emotional intelligence query is used to investigate the emotional intelligence; and the knowledge, skill and ability queries from international Occupational Information Network (O*NET) are implemented to investigate the job- employed fit, and each query includes, in average, 21 questions. The perpetuity was 0/79 for emotional intelligence query and 0/81 for job- employed fit query and because the Cronbach ? is more than 0/7 for both queries, therefore both queries has enough perpetuity. The considered statistical society includes 300 female personnel from governmental organizations in Kermanshah. Based on random sampling method, some category was selected as statistical sample, and 156 queries were collected, finally. We used Colmogrov- Smirnov test to determine the data normality and the results gained from the test supported it; the research theories were tested using absolute T-test and some positive and considerable effect was demonstrated. The results show that in considered society, the job- fit personnel gain higher emotional intelligence scores. Another result gained in this research indicated that just 40% of female personnel are completely job- fit and therefore these organizations have an unstable situation.

Lithogeochemical and petrographic studies of the precambrian rocks around okemesi area, southwestern Nigeria
Twenty one (21) rock samples were systematically collected during geological mapping of the study area, while 10 representative samples were selected for geochemical and petrography studies. Six lithologies including Quartzite, Quartz-biotite schist, Banded gneiss, pegmatite, biotite gneiss and biotite schist with well defined boundaries were recognized and mapped in the study area. Thin sections were prepared from the rock, and were studied under the research Petrological Microscope. The results of the petrographic analysis of the thin sections revealed that minerals such as quartz, biotite, muscovite and feldspar (plagioclase, orthoclase and microcline) of variable composition were present in the slides. The presence of these minerals could be as a result of the type and nature of magma responsible for the emplacement of these rocks. However, quartz is the most resistant and dominant mineral in all the slides analyzed. Geochemical analysis was also carried out on the rock samples to determine the trace and rare earth elements in them. The results of the trace elements detected in (ppm) includes; Ba (338), Cd (0.054), Ce (42.19), Rb (129.99), S (0.036), Sr (42.7), Th (4.94), Y (4.97), Zn (29.39), Co (39.18), Cs (1.97), Cu (3.86), Li (5.02) Ni (18.05) and W (179.05). The rare earth elements include; Dy (1.68), Eu (0.58), Ga (9.89), Gd (2.70), Hf(1.07), La (20.69), Nd (18.05), Pr (4.92) and Sm (3.40). The results above revealed that Ba, W, Rb, Ce are extremely high in the rocks of the study area which indicate that the rocks are highly radioactive in nature. The concentration of radioactive elements such as Ba, Rb, Ce are useful in energy provision and modern warfare business. Nevertheless, radioactive elements may produce X-ray which can affect the skin and causes skin cancer and other related diseases. Therefore, detailed exploration program to discover hidden natural resources is hereby recommended for the study area.

Mechanical properties of fibre reinforced concrete using different types of steel fibres
The Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is composed of cement, fine and coarse aggregates and discontinuous discrete steel fibers. In tension SFRC fails only after the steel fiber breaks or pulled out of the cement matrix. The composite nature of SFRC is responsible for its properties in freshly mixed and hardened state. The mechanical properties of SFRC are depending on type of fiber, aspect ratio, volume fraction of fibers and the size of the aggregates. SFRC transfer stresses across a cracked section which increases toughness of concrete in hardened state. This paper invistigate the behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete for compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength, using different types of steel fibers and different aspect ratio.

Morphometric Analysis of Micro-Watersheds of Dal Lake Catchment (J&K) using Geospatial Techniques
Watershed prioritization has gained importance in natural resources management, especially in the context of watershed management. The prioritization process identifies the highest priority watershed(s) or erosion susceptibility zone in which to conduct management. Morphometric analysis has been applied to prioritization of micro-watersheds as watershed characteristics of a basin represent its physical and morphological attributes that are employed in synthesizing its hydrological response. The present study makes an attempt to prioritize thirty two micro-watersheds of Dal lake Catchment of Srinagar district, Jammu and Kashmir based on morphometric parameters using GIS techniques. Various morphometric parameters, namely linear parameters and shape parameters have been determined using Survey of India (SOI) toposheets at 1:50,000 scale for each micro-watershed and assigned ranks on the basis of value/relationship so as to arrive at a computed value for a final ranking of the micro-watersheds. The analysis has revealed that the total number as well as total length of stream segments is maximum in first order streams and decreases as the stream order increases. Horton’s law of stream numbers and stream lengths is also found to be in conformity with the catchment.
