As the number of 3D models available on the Web grows, there is an increasing need for a search engine to help people. Unfortunately, traditional text-based search techniques are not always effective for 3D data. The key challenges are to develop query methods simple enough for novice users and matching algorithms robust enough to work for arbitrary polygonal models. We present a web-based search engine system that supports queries based on 3D sketches, 2D sketches, 3D models, and/or text keywords. We also present a web-based search engine system that supports multimodel queries which include both text query and sketch query. This results in faster retrieval of the result and the percentage efficiency also increases. The net result is a growing interactive index of 3D models available on the Web (i.e., a Google for 3D models).
Android Smart phones enable a new, rich user experience in pervasive computing, but their hardware is still very limited in terms of computation, memory, and energy reserves, thus limiting potential applications. In this paper, we are dealing with battery drain problems and stack overflow problems of android mobile phones. For that we are going to develop Rubik’s cube game application. We will test this app on several mobile phones of same configuration and of different manufacturer i.e. Samsung, Motorola, HTC, Sony Ericson, Micromax. In this research we will measure the performance of our app and will conclude about some parameters of Android Operating System i.e. heap utilization, power consumption, smooth and faster execution which will give meaningful information to reveal or solve or address Android Operating System problems in a detailed manner.
This study examines the technical and scale efficiencies for a sample of irrigated and rainfed rice farmers in Anambra State, using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Two(2) local government areas were purposively selected; three communities were randomly selected giving a total of six(6) communities. Twenty five(25) rice farmers were randomly selected from each communities to give a sample size of one hundred and fifty. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Data Envelopment Analysis. Results show that irrigated rice farmers were more efficient in resources utilization. The result further indicated a significant scope for a reduction in input usage while maintaining the same output levels. Rice farmers’ education level should be improved to enable them take advantage of modern agricultural techniques for improved productivity.
Forensic accounting is considered as a specialized field of accounting relating frequently to legal problems (claims) and complaints. Forensic accountants usually called as forensic audits or detector accountants are bound to provide other specialists with required evidence in law counts. This study looks for to investigate the rate of accountants’ perception of forensic accounting considering the fact that as accountants’ perception of financial rules increases the number of firms which refer to law courts for their financial complaints will be reduced. Research method is descriptive based on which the author has used Lickret 5 options questionnaire to satisfy research goals. The research results indicate the low level of accountants’ perception of forensic accounting methods in which the author provide some recommendations to enhance the accountants’ perception of forensic accounting.
An investigation was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of extracts obtained from different parts (bark, leaf and fruit) of P.julifora against C.chinensis. A significant mortality of the insect, up to 66.67%, was obtained in some cases. The adult pests were also subjected to smoke of the different plant parts for assessing results in terms of adult mortality. Here also fruit and leaf formulations were able to cause 70% mortality. Similar encouraging results were found when different plant parts were used as egg laying deterrents (reduced to 6 no. /pair as against a normal of 42.33 no. / pair). Some treatments were capable of lengthening the period of insect development by as much as 10 days. Significant results were obtained for managing adult emergence from host grains were in best case scenario it dropped from 93% to 56%.

Zircaloy-2 is mainly used in nuclear technology, as cladding of fuel rods in nuclear reactors, especially water reactors (BWRs). Hence high strength of Zircaloy-2 is of prime importance. This investigation deals with the effect of cryorolling on Zircaloy-2 by comparing different tensile properties. For this analysis, four samples with various degrees of cryorolling are taken and tensile tests are conducted on these samples. The obtained results are analyzed and the optimum degree of cryorolling of Zircaloy-2 is obtained. The cryorolling improved the mechanical properties of the material as the dislocations are entangled near the grain boundaries and also due to decrease in the grain size. The microstructure of the sample is analyzed by optical microscope, before and after cryorolling and the grain structure analysis is done.
In order to provide an evaluation of the suitability of reading texts from the perspective of students in university-based intensive English programme, this study examined 53 international ESL intermediate learners’ perceptions of reading texts for a period of 14 weeks reading proficiency lessons. Features evaluated include content, readability, exploitability, and authenticity of the reading texts. The participants responded to a textbook evaluation questionnaire to express their perceptions with reference to the features of the reading texts. Results indicated the extent of appropriateness of the reading texts incorporated in the programme’s reading textbook used by intermediate learners of English. Further consideration must be given to text selection by including the aspect of authentic text presentation.
This study examines environmental costs and its implication on the returns on investment. At various national levels are government regulations, society, pressure groups and green consumer pressure; developments reawakening corporate attention to strategic and competitive role of environmental responsibility for corporate survival. However within the developing nations, the understanding is somewhat different mainly because of weak government regulations and lack of organized pressure groups and consumer awareness to influence corporate behaviour. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources and also analyzed using the ordinary least square technique. The study revealed that investment in social and environmental responsibilities such as Employee Health and Safely (EHS), Waste Management (WM) and Community Development (CD) are related to improved return on investment of the environmentally responsible firms. Additionally, the study also revealed that with sustainable business practice, there is a decrease in the amount paid in fines and penalties to individuals and the government for environmental offences and its compensation to the community. Conclusively, money expended in settling disputes could be applied to enhance corporate liquidity and management is better able to plan and make decisions when it is not engrossed in disputes. The act of managing and production per se is optimal when an enabling serene atmosphere is in place.The study therefore recommended that Environmental Regulatory Authority should compel manufacturing companies to disclose environmental cost in their financial statement and Environmental management accounting should be incorporated into the traditional accounting systems of manufacturing companies.
Municipal sewage sludge belongs to organic waste rich in organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus and at the same time poor in potassium content. From the environmental viewpoint, sewage sludge should be recovered as fertilizer i.e. utilised for land applications. However, in order to do so, the sludge cannot contain heavy metals in amounts above the permitted levels.The article presents the results of a research carried out to investigate the potential of utilizing sewage sludge of high fertilizing values and elevated zinc content for agricultural purposes by mixing it in appropriate ratio with fly ash from lignite and hard coal combustion and granulation. Data from tests on enriching the sludge-fly ash mixtures with potassium to improve its fertilizing properties are also presented. The research was carried out taking into account relevant regulations effective in the EU countries. The investigations proved that sewage sludge can be successfully mixed with fly ash in weight proportion 1:1 and granulated while maintaining the minimum content of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus required for organic-mineral fertilizers and meeting the level of heavy metals permissible for sludge used for agricultural purposes. However, due to low potassium content in sludge-fly ash mixtures, an addition of potassium salt is proposed at maintaining simultaneously the proportion of sludge to ash as 7:3. The procedure for utilizing sewage sludge, a problem-causing organic waste, described in the paper shows that it is possible to produce an organic-mineral product of desired chemical properties for soil conditioning which through the granulation process acquires also a physical form and mechanical properties making it easy to transport and apply.
