This paper analyzes business process re-engineering (BPR) implementation at Ethiopian higher education institutions (EHEI’s) i.e., Mekelle University, Mekelle, and Aksum University, Aksum. It investigates the current status and effectiveness of BPR implementations at the EHEI’s. It reviews the literature relating to the hard and soft factors that cause success and failure for BPR implementations, classifies these factors into subgroups, and identifies critical success and failure factors. Finally, it explains how these factors influence the process of BPR implementation in the higher institutions. Primary data were collected by means of survey questionnaires from academic staff members and interviews with the academics core process owners. One hundred sixty survey questionnaires were distributed to Mekelle (110) and Aksum (50) universities. All the questionnaires were filled and properly received from both universities. The respondents for the survey were all academic staff members from all departments and posts (technical assistant, graduate assistant, assistant lecturer, lecturers and professors). The findings of the research show that the institutions’ performance is not effective in terms communicating and accomplishing the goals and objectives of BPR. The current progress of BPR in the institutions is also at low level. The findings also show that effective utilization of resources, having BPR motivated by customer demands, good information exchange and flow, continuous performance improvement, using technology as enabler not as solution, developing and communicating clear written goals and objectives, proper alignment of BPR strategy with the corporate strategy, using progress evaluation are the most important factors that enable BPR implementation to be successful, whereas lack of employee training, unrealistic report to outsiders that hide actual progress of BPR implementation, management frustration with slow business results, lack of management deter

In study we report synthesis Iodohydrines in absence of the complexes Schiff-base Salen Cu, Ni and Co. The experimental results showed both that the catalysts had higher catalytic activity and better epoxide selectivity than the homogeneous catalyst.

In this paper author has established four q-product identities with the help of Jacobi’s triple product identity using elementary method. These identities are new and not available in the literature of special functions.

Environmental Pollution (Pollution) is a global issue. Though responsibility of India in creating Pollution is less as compared to developed countries, however we can not deny our role as we shall be largest population country and 4th largest economy soon. Pollution is the problem that is purely created by human beings and human behavior is the main cause of this act. Behavior is governed by values. This paper addresses a theoretical study of impact of human values on pollution in the context of Indian Society.

The development of data-mining applications such as classification and clustering has shown the need for machine learning algorithms to be applied to large scale data. The article gives an overview of some of the most popular machine learning methods (Gaussian and Nearest Mean) and of their applicability to the problem of spam e-mail filtering. The aim of this paper is to compare and investigate the effectiveness of classifiers for filtering spam e-mails using different matrices. Since spam is increasingly becoming difficult to detect, so these automated techniques will help in saving lot of time and resources required to handle e-mail messages.

In this paper we have discussed the problem of routing in telecommunication networks and the salient characteristics of some of the most popular routing schemes. In particular, we have discussed the characteristics of adaptive and multipath routing solutions versus static and single-path strategies.

In this paper,nonlinear differential equations are solved through Adomian decomposition method(ADM) and the results are compared with those of Picard iterations method. It is noted that ADM takes the form of a convergent series with easily computable components. The ADM method is able to solve large class of nonlinear equations effectively, more easily and accurately; and thus the method has been widely applicable to solve any class of equations in sciences and engineering.

In this article, we implement relatively new analytical approach, Adomian decomposition method (ADM), for solving some selected partial differential equations in mechanics. This method in applied mathematics can be used as alternative method for obtaining exact solution for different types of partial differential equations. The method takes the form of a convergent series with easily computable components. The results obtained with minimum amount of computation indicate that the method is reliable and accurate.

Since Bangladesh is an agriculture dependent and over-populated country, so the over manpower should be made as resource through industrialization of the country. It is evident that the excess manpower lie mainly in agriculture sector and as small-scale industry sector is labor-intensive and small capital-requiring industry, so this paper has emphasized on the development of small-scale industry sector. This paper is explanatory in nature and data have been collected for conducting the study mainly from secondary sources. The main objective of the study is to find out the need-based appropriate extension service for small-scale industry sector. In order to present the appropriateness of extension services for the development of small-scale industry, the researcher has concentrated to find out the usual/major and even the trifling problems faced by the small-scale industrial units as well as small industrialists at first and then scrutinize the suitability of different types of extension services to remove the problems of this sector. Problems have been identified from two points of view i.e. from the view point of government and small industrialists’ associations as well as from the view point of industrial unit and owner of the industry. The problems for that are responsible the earlier one are the defects and loopholes in manufacturing process, suitability of machinery and technology, cooperation and coordination between government agencies and voluntary associations, financing, marketing, obtaining or providing information to the small industrialists. The problems for that responsible the industrial unit and owners of the industry are problems regarding organization of the concern/firm, marketing and staffing. The main problem lies in finding out the needs and providing appropriate extension services especially the consultancy, training and financing to small industrialists. Over and above, selection of genuine entrepreneurs, evaluation, implementation and ult

The thin-layer drying characteristics of carrot slices were investigated under four microwave powers; 200, 300, 400 and 500 W and slice thickness of 2.5 mm. Data were analyzed to obtain diffusivity values from the period of falling drying rate. Four mathematical models for describing the thin-layer drying behavior of carrot were investigated. The results show that the Midilli et al. is the most appropriate model for drying behaviour of thin layer carrot slices. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that microwave power significantly affected the drying time, drying rate, effective diffusivity and specific energy consumption. The effective diffusivity varied from 1.90×10−8 to 3.99×10−8 m2/s, and the activation energy was determined to be 36.40. Specific energy consumption values ranged 8.58 to 12.46 MJ/kg and the optimized specific energy consumption was obtained 540 W microwave levels.
