The condition of intra-urban transport system in Nigerian cities is becoming worrisome by the day. Although the situation affects male and female, previous empirical and theoretical discussions most of the time assumed the universality of gender‟s experience. Transportation Planning and Engineering have been gender neutral. It is against this background that the study evaluates condition of intra-urban transport and gender travel behaviourin Nigeria using Ilorin as case study. The study uses primary data, which were obtained through a random and systematic sampling of 500 households in Ilorin, Nigeria. Variables used for this study include indicators of urban transport infrastructure conditions and intra-urban travel patterns. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics in form of cross tabulation and chi- square statistics. The results showed inadequate and poorly maintained transport infrastructural facilities; accidents; waiting for long periods at the bus stops; traffic congestion and the related parking problems. It was also revealed in the study that man and woman are not equal urban space users and actors, in relation to kind of trips made and complexity of trip making. The study recommends among others the need to develop transportation planning models that capture gender differences in trip purpose, frequency and distance travel, mode of transportation used and complexity of trip making. Improving safety on the street isvery crucial. Routes should connect homes with other activity centers. The study concludes by reiterating the need to boost the current state of transport infrastructure in the study area.

Traditionally, computer software’s has been written for serial computation. This software is to be run on a single computer with a single Central Processing Unit (CPU). A problem is broken into a discrete serial of instructions that executed in the exact order, one after another. Only one instruction can be executed at any moment of time on a single CPU. Parallel computing, on the other hand, is the simultaneous use of multiple computer resources to solve a computational problem. The program is to be run using multiple CPU’s. A problem is broken into discrete parts that can be solved concurrently and executed simultaneously on different CPU’s. The purpose of this proposed work is to develop a simulator using Java for the implementation of Job scheduling and shows that Parallel Execution is efficient with respect to serial execution in terms of time, speed and resources.

The wide qualities of distributed (ex: P2P networks) network has given us many advantages and threats for enhancement of distributed computing. The best way to reduce threats is adding a reputation-based globally trusted model. Many present trust models are failing to restrain effectively some behaviors like collusive attacks, but pay no heed towards the security of this mechanism.

In this paper, we introduce a Darboux helix to be a curve in 3-space whose Darboux vector makes a constant angle with a fixed straight line. We completely characterize Darboux helices in terms of and thus prove that the class of Darboux helices coincide with the class of slant helices. In special, if we take = constant, the curves are curve of constant precession.

Introduction : Value chain analysis is essential to an understanding of markets, their relationships, the Participation of different actors, and the critical constraints that limit the growth of livestock production and consequently the competitiveness of smallholder farmers. These farmers currently receive only a small fraction of the ultimate value of their output, even if, in theory, risk and rewards should be shared down the chain. Objective : Main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the value chain in the karachchi division, Kilinochchi district. And environs with a view to achieving the following broad output, to identify the key value chain actors in the dairy sector; to find out key factors influencing on value chain analysis for dairy sector; to discover the strengths and weakness of each value chain actors; to discover the opportunities and threats of each value chain actors; to suggest the value chain actors to strengthening the dairy sector in accordance with benefits of socio and economic point of view.

In this paper an image outlier technique, which is a hybrid model called SVM regression based DWT optimization have been introduced. Outlier filtering of RGB image is using the DWT model such as Optimal-HAAR wavelet changeover (OHC), which optimized by the Least Square Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) . The LS-SVM regression predicts hyper coefficients obtained by using QPSO model. The mathematical models are discussed in brief in this paper: (i) OHC which results in better performance and reduces the complexity resulting in (Optimized FHT). (ii) QPSO by replacing the least good particle with the new best obtained particle resulting in “Optimized Least Significant Particle based QPSO” (OLSP-QPSO). On comparing the proposed cross model of optimizing DWT by LS-SVM to perform oulier filtering with linear and nonlinear noise removal standards.

Daily wind speed and directions obtained using wind vane and anemometer for a period of ten years (1995- 2004) were acquired from meteorological station located at longitude 07 o 41′ E and latitude 11o08′ W, altitude of 686 m in Nigerian college of aviation technolog Zaria. The readings were usually taken twice in a day, at 10.00 am and at 4.00 pm. The results showed a relative dominance of N-E. With 7251 direction counts recorded throughout the years N-E windhas3317 direction counts representing 45.75%, S-W 33.4%, N-W, 11.75% S-E 7.94% E, 0.68%; W, 0.30% S, 0.08% and N, 0.07%. The maximum wind speed of 3 m/s was obtained at a height of 10 m above the earth surface. There is an evidence of speed increase with height above the earth surface. The average extractable wind power per unit area wasnot less than 9 w/m2 in the area . It was also observed that dry season (N-E wind period), normally runs from the month of November to February whereas the rainy season (S-W wind period), and runs from the month of May to September.

- The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the proposed research into business staffing and recruitment decision. The introduction of our research was recruitment and selection is the process by choosing the most appropriate person for a job. The success of any business depend on the quality of its staff, requirement employee with the correct skill can be added value to the business. The objective of our study was to find out the, developing a strategic staffing solution that meets the needs of internal and external customers requires an analysis of organizational competencies and quite possibly external vendor capabilities .This study was conducted from April 2012 to June 2012. A group of 200 employees was take part in this study through a predesigned questionnaire which consists of five portions according to objectives, which was collected from the employees of PEPSI. Regression technique was applied to check the impact of cost, recruitment and staffing decision in an organization. The result shows the significant relationship between an organization and its cost, recruitment and staffing decision.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between leadership styles, organizational justice and job satisfaction. Studying this relationship is limited. Therefore, this study focuses on the relationship between leadership styles, organizational justice and job satisfaction in industrial firms in Amman - Jordan. A total of 150 questionnaires have been sent out to the managerial staff in the selected industrial companies. Participants in the study consisted of middle and senior management staff of Sahab Industrial City in Amman- Jordan. The results showed that the transformational leadership and job satisfaction are negatively associated and also there is a positive relationship between transactional leadership and job satisfaction. The distributive justice has a positive correlation with job satisfaction, procedural justice has a negative correlation with job satisfaction, and interactional justice is the only has ab significant and positive relationship with job satisfaction.
