This work analyses the effect of various alkali and softness treatments on the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the banana and banana: cotton fibres blended yarns and fabrics. Fibres were scoured, bleached and mercerized by different concentrations of NaOH, H2O2, Na2 CO3 and softened with Aloe Vera, castor oil, cotton seed oil and soap. The mechanical characterization indicated that the single yarn strength, tensile strength, tear strength and torsion rigidity became decreased by increasing concentration of the NaOH, H2O2, Na2 CO3. The adequate (spinnability) fineness (5.8 tex) of the banana fibres have been achieved with Na OH, H2 O2 and Na2 CO3 combined treatments. The fastness properties of the banana: cotton blended fabrics show equal to the 100 % cotton fabrics in dry and wet conditions.

Participatory field experiment was conducted at Dimeka zuriya peasant associations of Hamer woreda of South Omo zone in the 2014 main cropping season at on farm condition under rain fed using the improved legume forage species to identify the adaptable and high biomass yielding forage species. The field experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications where trial agro pastoralists farm were considered as replications. The improved legume forage species tested were Lablab purpureus, Lablab intoritum, and Vigna unguiculata. Each improved legume species was planted in a single plot area of 3 m x 4m. The average fresh biomass yield (FBY) and dry matter yield (DMY) of the tested species were 20 tone/ha, 14.84 tone/ha and 12 tone/ha and 7.2 tone /ha, 4.5 tone/ha and 6.8 tone /ha for Labalab purpureus, Lablab intoritum and Vigna unguiculata.

The paper deals with the computer implementation of direct computational experiments in fluid mechanics, constructed on the basis of the approach developed bythe authors. The proposed approach allows the use of explicit numerical scheme, whichis an important condition for increasing the efficiency of the algorithms developed by numerical procedures with natural parallelism. The paper examines the main objectsand operations that let you manage computational experiments and monitor the statusof the computation process. Special attention is given to a) realization of tensor representationsof numerical schemes for direct simulation; b) realization of representation of large particles of a continuous medium motion in two coordinate systems (global andmobile); c) computing operations in the projections of coordinate systems, direct and inversetransformation in these systems. Particular attention is paid to the use of hardware and software of modern computer systems.

Epilepsy is a group of neurological diseases characterized by epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable to long periods of vigorous shaking. In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur, and have no immediate underlying cause while seizures that occur due to a specific cause are not deemed to represent epilepsy. The cause of most cases of epilepsy is unknown, although some people develop epilepsy as the result of brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, and substance use disorders.

In this study the nutritional and anti-nutritional status of yellow, white and orange fleshed sweet potato varieties (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) in their raw roots unpeeled and peeled were determined. The nutritional and anti-nutritional values of three sweet potato varieties were significantly (p<0.05) varied due to cultivar variation, processing conditions and their interaction. Orange sweet potato variety contains the highest level of moisture, fat, ash, carbohydrate, energy, calcium and iron in unpeeled condition and fiber, moisture, fat, ash, calcium, iron and zinc in peeled condition. On the other hand, yellow sweet potato variety contains the highest level of protein, phytate, phytate: calcium, phytate: iron and phytate: zinc molar ratios in both unpeeled and peeled conditions while the highest value of fiber, oxalate and tannin in unpeeled condition.

Dyes have long been used in dyening, paper and pulp, texstile, plastics, leather paint, cosmetics and food industries. This poses certain hazards and environmental problems. the objective of this study is to investigate the adsorption behaviour of metyl orange from aqueous solution onto chitosan. The effect of initial dye concentration, contact time, initial pH, and adsorbent dosage were studied. the Langmuir and Fredlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherm.

The Main purpose of this research is to investigate the extent to which primary school principals’ practice leadership behaviors at primary schools of Sodo town Administration. For this purpose the researcher using purposive sampling to select four primary schools among primary schools found in the town administration. In these schools 63 teachers 9 principals were taken as a sample of the study. Information collected using questionnaire and interview were analyzed through using frequency and percentage. Based on the analysis and interpretation of data the result found indicated that the majority of principals does not have adequate leadership practice in their respective schools. Due to limited leadership ability and skill, work load, complexity of their task and low awareness of society to instructional leadership and students disciplinary problems. Finally based on the analysis and interpretation of data principals found to be medium practicing leadership behavior in their schools. This needs to be further improved to achieve the success of primary schools in all aspects of teaching learning process which intern brought change in all primary schools of Sodo town administration.

Natural menopause is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the “permanent cessation of menstruation resulting from the loss of ovarian follicular activity,”1. The word is derived from the Greek men (month) and pausis (cessation). This cross sectional study was carried out on the women attending Out Patient Clinic of Gynaecology Department of a teaching medical institute. For this study, sample size of 373 patients was decided as per use of appropriate statistical calculations. An Osteoporosis specific score sheet was designed. A complete physical examination was conducted along with local examination for all patients which included per speculum and per vaginal examination. Special investigations were conducted for all patients to evaluate symptoms such as pap smear, breast examination and Bone Mineral Density. Bone mineral density was measured using DXA scan for the calcaneum bone. We concluded that most common symptom associated with menopausal transition was night sweats followed by muscle and joint pain, psychosexual symptoms and irritability. Bone mineral density test concluded 34.3% of the population were suffering from osteoporosis while 34% were suffering from osteopenia. There is a statistical correlation between BMD and lifestyle pattern. BMD is significantly reduced in the population suffering from symptoms muscle and joint pain. BMD is inversely proportional to the age since menopause. There is an increased risk for fractures among patients who underwent oopherectomy. There is an inverse correlation between BMD and since menopause.

The British administration made an announcement of the partition plan for India and Pakistan on June 3, 1947. Shahi Jirga was formed as an electoral college to decide about the future of British Baluchistan. It finally announced its decision in favour of Pakistan. Afterwards, the state elites seemed bound and determined to include the Kalat state as its part because it geo-strategic and geo-economic significance. They changed their mindset and expressed the intention of unconditional accession of the Kalat state to Pakistan. The Khan finally signed an instrument of accession realising the precarious conditions in and around the Khanate. The Baloch nationalists challenged the validity of instrument of accession and verdict of Shahi Jirga. There were further developments subsequent to it, the Advisory Council was made in June 1949 to ensure people’s participation in the governance of British Baluchistan. Another initiative taken in this direction was the appointment of the Reform Committee in October 1958. The state elites decided to combine four states of Kalat, Mekran, Kharan and Las Bela into Balochistan States Union. Prince Abdul Kareem Khan did not resign himself to the changed status of the Khanate but his rebellion was suppressed by the Pakistani armed forces. The second Constituent Assembly of Pakistan Subsequently adopted the most contentious plan of one-unit by totally ignoring the sensitivities of the smaller provinces. It was the brainchild of the central state players who wanted to defeat the political alliance between East Pakistan and provincial regional players of West Pakistan. It turned out to be counter-productive. The ethnic and regional actors of Balochistan became sceptical and apprehensive about the policies of central state actors. One Unit Plan was made a part of 1956 Constitution. It was a fateful attack on the federal parliamentary set-up. The central elites believed in unity through conformity, not through diversity. The unification plan

Teacher play a important role in school both academically and by participating in school administration for ensuring quality education for student. The efficiency of the school system can be ensured not by providing only a magnificent building to it, but by organizing and administering it on ideal lines in every way. A good building is just one small factor. There is the human element in the form of pupils, teachers and administrators without which the body of a school is incomplete and even inconceivable. Although the structure of a school is also raised by bricks and mortar but the more important things about school are the ideas, aims and the spirit behind its structure. Organization of a school is much more than a mere structure. Its administration is also not to be on the same pattern as the administration of a factory or a department The teacher’s job is a challenge for even the most capable. Its duties and function are unlimited in number. The present investigation was undertaken to study the Participation of Higher Secondary School Teachers in School Administration’. The researcher selected 100 teachers from 12 higher secondary schools of Jalpaiguri district. These teachers had been categorized as male and female, more experienced and less experienced, Govt. and Private management. A standardized tool (TPSAS) of Taj (1985 was used to assess the teacher’s participation in school administration of higher secondary school of Jalpaiguri district in relation to differential level of gender, school management and teaching experience. It consists of 27 items in which 5 items are related to planning, 6 items are related to organizing, 7 items are related to communicating, 5 items are related to controlling and 4 items are related to evaluating. To know the participation of secondary school teacher in school administration data were collected and mean, SD were worked out, ‘t’ test was applied to find out significant difference and ANOVA was applied to Study
