Automatically milking systems increased in the last years in the European Union. Behavior of lactating dairy cows in the barn can be used to evaluate the effects of changing in the procedures of milking like Forced Cow Traffic (AMS and VMS) and the design of management in the waiting area (AMR).

Carcinoid tumors are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract and are rarely seen in the presacral/sacrococcygeal region. Moreover, such tumors at these sites are usually silent without associated carcinoid syndrome even if the tumor has metastasized. These tumors may arise in tailgut cysts or teratomas thereby suggesting their congenital origin.

The hydrogen production by water electrolysis consumes electric power (much even). To make this process profitable, we exploited two parameters: the origin of the consumed current and the optimization of the power supply. Indeed, the current is renewable origin (photovoltaic). The connection in parallel of the electrolysers with the photovoltaic module made it possible to increase the production of hydrogen while reducing the electric power consumption. In addition, the use of a voltage regulator made it possible to stabilize the voltage and thus to maintain the hydrogen production on a constant level during all the day.

This study appraises the effect of housing condition on the health of residents in Ijeda-Ijesa and Iloko-Ijesa, Osun State. Primary data was acquired through structured questionnaires administered to 25% of the residents of the two villages adopting the "stratified-systematic" sampling method. Interviews were conducted for the major stakeholders in the study. Secondary data were sourced from the local government council office, journals, books, magazines, National Population Commission and the internet. Findings reveal that malaria was the most reported ailment followed by dysentery, typhoid and cholera respectively. Age of building was found to have significant relationship with the health of residents in Ijeda while the reverse was the case in Iloko. Significant relationship was found between building type and residents’ health in Iloko than Ijeda while occupancy ratio had effect on the health of residents of Ijeda. The study concludes that housing condition affects the health of the residents in the two villages at different levels. Recommendations were made for improving the situation.

This paper discusses a transformative aesthetic experience project that was carried out as one potential way to approach some of the new issues that arise with an aging population. It explores how contemporary community-based art practices may help seniorsliving in rural areas adopt a positive and active approach toward life. Such activities may serve an important role in the curriculum of senior centers in the future.

Trinidad as a Small Island Developing State (SID) has limited land resources which must be managed against the threat of coastal erosion. Columbus Bay, located on the southwestern peninsula of the island is negatively affected by high rates of coastal erosion. Erosion in this area has resulted in a reduction in beach amenity, loss of valuable agricultural land, critical mangrove habitats and damage to infrastructure. Although the erosion problem is well documented, the challenges lie in management due to the limited understanding of the interaction of coastal processes and sediment transport in the area. While other studies have identified the existence and causal link between coastal erosion and tidal currents in macro-tidal environments, this study examines the interaction of tides on coastal processes and sediment transport in a micro-tidal setting. The study combines traditional field and levelling techniques alongside numerical modelling on data from 2009-2013. It utilizes the Spectral Wave (SW), Hydrodynamic (HD) and Sediment Transport (ST) modules of MIKE 21.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of green product on customer purchasing behavior, on a Sample of technological Companies in Amman. To achieve the research`s objectives the researcher used the descriptive analytical method because of its relevance to this kind of research. Research`s population consisted of the clients of (10) technological Companies, while the research sample was a random sample selected from the technological Companies clients. Data collection was conducted through primary resources and secondary resources. A questionnaire designed by the researcher used for collecting the primary data, while the secondary resources like the books, literature review, journals and articles were used to collect the data. (SPSS) program is used for data analysis, the results revealed the follo wing:

Large centralized biometric databases, accessible over networks in real time are especially used for identification purposes. Multimodal biometric systems which are more robust and accurate in human identification require multiple templates storage of the same user analogous to individual biometric sources. This may raises concern about their usage and security when these stored templates are compromised since each person is believed to have a unique biometric trait. Unlike passwords, the biometric templates cannot be revoked and switch to another set of uncompromised identifiers when compromised. Therefore, fool-proof techniques satisfying the requirements of diversity, revocability, security and performance are required to protect stored templates such that both the security of the application and the users’ privacy are not compromised by the impostor attacks. Thus, this paper proposes a template protection scheme coined as random rectangular hashing to strengthen the multimodal biometric system. The performance of the proposed template protection scheme is measured using the fingerprint FVC2004 and PolyU palmprint databases

The Igbo popular maxim, Ohaka (community is supreme), is a product of the people’s interacting life and exemplifies their belief in the power of unity that inheres from communal living. However such patriotic value as implied in the aphorism is rift with challenges in modern time and drama as a reflection of the people’s interacting life recreates both the challenges and the people’s response to them. This paper therefore examines instances of conformity to and divergence from the value of ohaka in selected dramatic literature of the Igbo in order to evaluate its significance in contemporary world. This is done through the analysis of character’s response to the issues of ohaka as dramatized in ‘Zulu Sofola’s Wedlock of the Gods (1972). Short Biography Osita Catherine Ezenwanebe Ph.

Through analysis of 2011 Guangzhou city housing situation, this paper discusses the tendency of the per capita housing area. The equation of fitting the per capita housing area is Y = 7.1955 Ln (x) + 1.7867, speculated the housing need of Guangzhou (2012-2020), proposed the problems existing in the Guangzhou housing supply. Finally, this paper creates a path for long-term mechanism, according to current situation of housing problems and the future change of housing supply.
