Statistical Analysis of Forms of Phosphorus in Aquatic Sediments -Case of the Main Rivers in the area of Meknes (Morocco)-

For a contribution to the study of the water quality of the Meknes region, we realized samples of surficial sediments at the level of the main wadis of this region in four different seasons. The results of the study of different phosphorus fractions of studied sediments have been the subject of a principal component analysis (PCA). This statistical method allowed us to identify the principal relationships between forms of phosphorus and showed that the increase in total phosphorus content (Ptot) of the studied sediments is primarily caused by increased levels of inorganic forms of phosphorus {Fe (OOH)-P} and CaCO3-P}. Furthermore, for having the relationship between the sampling periods, sampling stations and forms of phosphorus, we performed a factorial correspondence analysis (FCA), as well as the hierarchical ascendant analysis (HAC), which helped to classify the individuals with similar behaviour in three different classes. Indeed, the factorial correspondence analysis is a method that can be combined to the HAC because they use the same distance between individuals. The FCA has not only allows to classify individuals but has allows us also the identification of the homogeneous groups. The HAC using the same distance as that the FCA allows us to clarify the contours of homogeneous classes.

The recognition of biological entities in text and the extraction of relationships between them have paved the way for doing more complex text-mining tasks and building further applications. This paper looks at the challenges perceived by the researchers in BER task and investigates the works done in the domain of BER by using the multiple approaches available for the task
Effect of Foliar Spraying with Uniconazole and Micronutrients on Yield and Nutrients Uptake of Wheat Plants Grown under Saline

A Pot trial experiment conducted in the green house of National Research Centre, Dokki, Giza, Egypt to study the effect of foliar spraying with Mn. , Fe. and uniconazole on photosynthetic pigments and yield as well as the chemical contents of the grains of wheat plants grown under saline condition. The results showed that salinity affects most yield parameters, i.e. plant height, harvest index, number of tillers and spikes/plant, spikes weight, weight of grains and straw/plant as well as the biological yield. However, it increases photosynthetic pigments content in the leaves and potassium concentration in the grains. Concerning the foliar spraying application with Mn and Fe or uniconazole, yield parameters and photosynthetic pigments were increased in the leaves, on the other hand, Macro nutrients (NPK) as well as micro nutrients (Mn. And Fe.) increased by foliar spraying. [Journal of American Science 2010;6(8):398-404]. (ISSN: 1545-1003).
Evaluation of 2,3,5–Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) assay for drug susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis

Background: Control of tuberculosis is hampered by emergence of drug resistance such as MDR, XDR & TDR. Treatment of this disease will be facilitated if early reliable drug susceptibility profile is available. Various commercial systems are available but in resource poor country like India cheaper colorimetric methods are evaluated. One such method is using 2,3,5Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC), which is an oxidation–reduction dye indicating cellular viability and growth. Colorimetric methods used in liquid media are shown to give better results than using them in Lowenstein–Jensen medium (LJ). Material and Method: A total of 82 strains isolated from patients suffering pulmonary tuberculosis and identified as M. tuberculosis were subjected to DST for Isoniazid and Rifampicin by Indirect drug susceptibility testing using absolute concentration method. 1% TTC was incorporated in Middlebrook 7H9 broth along with the drugs and compared with drug containing LJ. Results: Among the 82 strains, 9 (10.9%) strains were resistant to INH by both methods. Whereas 06 (7.3%) were resistant only in TTC. (sensitivity-100%, specificity -60%, positive predictive value91.8% and negative predictive value of 100%, P≤0.0001). Similarly 11(13.4%) strains showed resistance to RMP by both methods, 08 (9.8%) were resistant by only TTC and 01 (1.2%) only by conventional method. (Sensitivity98.4%, specificity57.9%, PPV-88.6%, NPV-91.7%, P≤0.0001). Conclusion: Results were available for 60 (73.2%) and 70 (85.4%) of strains by TTC method for INH and RMP respectively in 07 days as against 28 days in conventional method.

D-PATTERN DISCOVERY AND TERM SUPPORT EVALUATION FOR EFFECTIVE TEXT MINING

: Data Mining is the process of identifying patterns in large sets of data. Text mining is the discovery of interesting knowledge in text documents. Many data mining techniques have been proposed for mining useful patterns in text documents. It is a challenging issue to find accurate knowledge (or features) in text documents to help users to find what they want. In existing, Information Retrieval (IR) provided many term-based methods to solve this challenge. The term-based methods suffer from the problems of polysemy and synonymy. The polysemy means a word has multiple meanings, and synonymy is multiple words having the same meaning. In proposed system we want to use pattern (or phrase)-based approaches should perform better than the termbased ones. The proposed approach can improve the accuracy of evaluating term weights because discovered patterns are more specific than whole documents.

A Review on sensor based communication kit for impaired society

— A gesture is used to classify and recognize a signal that enables communication among the impaired community. It is a technique that has been in use to make people feel comfortable just like the normal people behave. In this article, the communication toolkit comprises a gesture recognition kit that comprises of an audio device, a display selective panel and an eyeglass with inbuilt camera. The camera captures the gesture passes it to the display panel where the audio device recognizes and speaks up the gesture making proper two way communication between persons. In this paper, we talk about the use of selective panel that depicts what the intended person want to communicate through various set of images stored in it and then speak out using the device. The need of action is depleted due an in built mechanism that would be much more efficient .

A Review on Compressive Sensed Image Reconstruction using Group-based Sparse Representation

– Compressive Sensing (CS) – a novel sensing paradigm asserts that signals can be reconstructed from fewer samples than that recommended by Nyquist sampling theorem, when it can be expressed in a sparse basis. Conventional approaches for compressive sensed image recovery utilized fixed basis (DCT, wavelets) that do not yield higher level of sparsity for the entire signal resulting in poor performance. This paper reviews the performance of Group-based sparse representation (GSR) model for CS recovery which yields high degree of sparsity for natural images in the domain of group. GSR stacks together non-local similar patches in an image to form a group and the sparse representation of each group is achieved using self-adaptive dictionary learning technique. Thus GSR takes advantage of the intrinsic local sparsity and non-local self-similarity of images simultaneously in a unified framework. The GSR driven optimization problem is solved using split-bregman iteration. Experimental results obtained on images for CS recovery reveals the performance achieved by GSR over many current state-of-the-art schemes .
EVALUATION OF ATTITUDES TOWARDS OLD AGE AMONG OLDER ADULTS IN AN INSTITUTIONAL FACILITY

Aim: The aim of the research was to determine attitudes towards old age in older adults living in institutional facilities, and to compare them with the population standard. A further aim was to determine differences in attitudes towards old age by gender, age, level of education, and self-sufficiency in the older adults surveyed. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: A research sample consisting of 121 elderly people living in retirement homes. Data were collected using a Czech version of the AAQ questionnaire (Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire), and Barthelʼs test of Activities of daily living was used to assess levels of self-sufficiency. Results: Older adults awarded the highest score (most positive attitude) in the domain of psychosocial losses. In comparison with the population standard, older adults rated the domain of physical change (p < 0.001) and psychological growth (p < 0.001) negatively. The domain of psychosocial losses was assessed more positively by men (p < 0.001) and the elderly with moderate dependence (p < 0.001); the domain of physical changes was also positively assessed by men (p = 0.001), and older adults with university education (p = 0.002); the domain of psychological growth was rated more positively by adults over 85 years (p = 0.001), and the elderly with basic education (p = 0.040). Conclusion: Determining older adults´ attitudes towards ageing in institutional care may help in the preparation of individual care plans aimed at supporting clients in areas that have been evaluated negatively. Keywords: institutional care, quality of life, attitudes, old age, ageing, self-sufficiency.
CORROSION INHIBITION OF CARBON STEEL BY NEW PHENYL QUINAZOLINONE DERIVATIVE IN 1M HCl: EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION

Newly synthesized quinazolinone derivative namely 2-[(3-phenyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolinone-2-yl-thio) aceto] phenyl thiosemicarbazide (PQPS) was investigated experimentally as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1M HCl at various concentrations and different temperature using potentiodynamic polarization, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) measurements. The thermodynamic parameters obtained supported a physical adsorption mechanism and the adsorption followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization curves showed that the compound acts as a mixed inhibitor. A maximum inhibition efficiency of 96.75% has been achieved using (5ppm) of inhibitor. SEM image confirmed that the presence of the inhibitor forms a protective film on the surface of the carbon steel decreasing the corrosion process. Theoretically, quantum mechanics calculations of the approximate semi empirical method PM3 and Density Functional Theory (DFT) of (B3LYP) with a level of 6-311G ++ (2p, 2d) by using Gaussian-09 program were done to evaluate the structural, electronic and reactivity parameters of (PQPS) in relation to their effectiveness as a corrosion inhibitor in vacuum and two liquid media (DMSO and H2O).

Value Co-Creation And University Teaching Services. The Case Of Teachers' Evaluation Process

In this research the teaching quality concept is explored. Concerning the area of higher education offered by Universities and Technological Institutions in Greece, there are many parties involved in the provision of services. In this study only one relationship, between students and teachers, is examined. For many this relationship is considered to be as the most essential one while there are others that argue that fact claiming that even if teaching quality is excellent and value creation aspects are based on the value co-creation approach the total provision in the university context will not be of excellence if all the other parties of networks involved do not promote quality and value. It can be sensed that students do co-create the value they expect to obtain from university service. The results of our case study revealed that teachers do not appreciate the way they are evaluated and think that this strategy may have very bad consequences for the whole education system. It is obvious that according to the results of the teachers' interviews, they think that evaluation is something that must exists and that good evaluation system will lead to the upgrade of courses to the professional development of teachers and to more satisfied customers that in our case are students. On the other hand, bad evaluation systems, such as evaluation through student questionnaires may lead to lowered teacher expectations, lowered teaching difficulty and teacher manipulation by the students.
Image based visual servoing for tele-operated ground vehicles

: Visual servoing has been used in robotics for controlling robots by extracting data obtained from the vision system, such as the distance of an object with respect to a reference frame, or the length and width of the object. This paper describes an Image Based Visual Servoing(IBVS) scheme for controlling the manipulator arm of atele-operated unmanned ground vehicle. In particular we would discuss a method used for position estimation of objects detected using the visual features extracted from images of a monocular camera fixed on thetele-operated UGV. The camera would function as an eye to hand configuration to the manipulator arm in this proposed method.The configuration has the camera at a fixed point in the world observing both the target and the robot’s end-effector, and is referred to as end-point open-loop.Thus the proposed system would need the camera’s orientation features and the parameters of the camera to proceed with the calculations. Experimental tests have been carried out to validate the proposed method.
COMPARISON OF SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION WITH STEAM DISTILLATION FOR THE EXTRACTION OF BAY OIL FROM BAY (PIMENTA RACEMOSA) LEAVES

Bay oil, an extract of Pimenta Racemosa, is produced in Dominica by the traditional process of Steam Distillation Extraction (SDE), and commercially utilised in the perfume and food industries. The objective of the work described in this paper seeks to investigate if it could be better produced by Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) using carbon dioxide as extracting fluid. Experiments were therefore carried out on a bench scale SFE unit to evaluate the extraction characteristics of bay leaves and to compare the results with those from a bench scale SDE unit. The results showed that the SFE extracts contained mainly eugenol and chavicol up to about 1 hour of extraction time, after which higher components, including waxes, were incorporated into the extracts. The optimum operating conditions were deemed to be 150 bar pressure and 50 o C temperature. The SDE extracts were also mainly eugenol and chavicol, but in addition contained a significant quantity of myrcene. The extract yield from SFE after I hour was similar to that of the ultimate yield from SDE (~4.0%), but the extraction time for SDE was in excess of twice that figure. It is concluded that the higher phenol content of the SFE product together with lower extraction times makes the use of SFE potentially preferable to the traditional SDE process.
