Commodity: Triggering Uncertainty and Dilemma in Delillo’s White Noise
Authors: Kamal Asif 
Published: February 2018

<em>Postmodern conditions and experiences, specifically, uncertainties and contradictions, multiple interpretations or perspectives, rejection of universal, the loss of individual in the face of plurality, precede some kind of inherent predicament and dilemma as a residue or by-product of the constant commodification of life. Don Delillo’s<strong> </strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">White Noise</span>, as a product of the postmodern era by a postmodern thinker, incorporates these traits, and predominantly, the underlying dilemma. One of the issues of this research is to trace in this novel these postmodern contradictions and dilemmas, and subsequent bathos of consumer society, under the burden of intensified productivism. This research also aims at scrutinizing these socio-personal postmodern dilemmas in the characters of the novel and ends up analyzing some psychosomatic predicaments in their deeds and thoughts relating to the personal experiences and contexts of the readers of this novel</em>
University Involvement with Charter Schools: Unique Opportunities for Service and Support
Authors: Hentges Dr. Julie , Thomas Dr. Doug D. 
Published: February 2018

<p>Charter schools are a controversial, but vibrant, component of the current educational landscape, now serving over 3.1 million students in approximately 6900 schools across the United States. A unique aspect of this movement has been the establishment of alternative authorizers, and specifically universities, to approve and provide oversight to these public schools. Campus leaders and policy makers must consider numerous variables regarding a university’s involvement with charter schools. What are the implications of school choice on university policies and practices? Should universities be “authorizers”, granting charters to schools in direct competition with the traditional public school system? Can universities provide the required “oversight” mandated by the charter school laws, as well as providing “support” for the schools? What opportunities for partnerships and practicum experiences exist? The article provides an overview of issues that arise with public charter schools authorized by universities. With 18 years of experiences as a public university on the forefront of enabling charter legislation and the “sponsorship” of inner-city public charter schools, the authors provide a historical perspective of the role of universities within the school choice movement, including oversight roles and supportive programs within the unique and growing phenomenon of school choice. </p>
A Fault Tolerant Scheme for Detecting Overflow in Residue Number Microprocessors
Authors: P. A. Agbedemnab , M. A. Agebure , S. Akobre 
Published: February 2018

The decomposition of larger numbers into smaller ones termed as residues is the main operation behind the concept of Residue Number System (RNS); it possesses inherent features such as parallelism and independent digit arithmetic computations. These features of the RNS has made it desirable for applications that require intensive computations such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Digital Filtering and Convolutions. Overflow detection is one of the major challenges that confront the efficient implementation of RNS in general purpose computer processors. Overflow occurs in RNS when an illegitimate value is represented within legitimate range – Dynamic Range (DR) as if it is legitimate value. This misrepresentation of results, which usually arises during addition operations ultimately affects systems built on this Number System. It is therefore imperative that steps are taken not to only detect but correct the occurrence of overflow whenever it occurs. In this paper, an additive overflow detection and correction scheme for the moduli set is presented. The scheme uses a redundant modulus to extend the DR of the moduli set. The proposed scheme is demonstrated theoretically to be an efficient scheme by comparing it to previous similar works.

Published: February 2018

<p>We previously produced tannase from <em>Aspergillus niger</em> using solid state medium. In the present study the enzyme used cashew apple juice. The aim this research was to know effect of tannase on chemical parameters of cashew apple juice. The concentration of tannase used was 0%; 0.02%; 0.04%; 0.06%; 0.08% and 0.1% (v/v). The chemical properties of the juice produced by enzymatic method were compared with the juiced produced through high temperature treatment (100<sup>o</sup>C). This research showed that the addition of 0.1% of tannase enzyme provide the best product according to the lower content of tannins than the content of tannins in the juice produced with high temperature treatment. The tannase treatment did not change the vitamin C content, content of protein and pH. Meanwhile, high temperature treatment decreased the content of vitamin C and protein.</p>

Analysis of Disaster Response During Landslide Disaster in Hakha, Chin State of Myanmar

Myanmar has experienced many types of geologic hazards such as earthquakes and landslides and to a lesser extent, subsidence. In recent years, landslides have been a major form natural disaster in Myanmar, especially in the country’s mountainous regions, such as Chin State. In geomorphological terms, Myanmar has two mountainous regions: namely the Western Ranges and the Eastern Highlands. Steep slopes, unstable geologic conditions, and heavy monsoon rains make these regions the most landslide-prone areas in Myanmar.
The study area, Hakha City and its environs, is situated in Chin State, which occupies a part of the Western Ranges. Chin State suffers many landslide incidents each year. Human settlement has recently increased as a result of rapid population growth. Consequently, natural and man-made disasters are on the rise and affecting people more than before. The most devastating landslide on record in Myanmar occurred in July 2015 due to the impact of Cyclone Koman. After this landslide, some places of Hakha City resettled in new location. However, a detailed slope stability analysis and assessment of the new location have not yet been carried out. In addition, management procedures and systems for the relocation and resettlement process still need to be evaluated for the urban safety space. Existing research and papers focus mainly on the areas affected by the landslide rather than on the city’s new location based on geographic information system (GIS) tools. It is essential to study the potential risk of landslides in the new location properly, and identify an appropriate management system.
Geological conditions including highly weathered and crushed rocks, heavy rainfall intensity, and poor drainage systems combine slope stability. Systematic management programs and technical control methods can mitigate the number and magnitude of future disasters.
