description: We report the mass measurement of $^{56}$Cu, using the LEBIT 9.4T Penning trap mass spectrometer at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. The mass of $^{56}$Cu is critical for constraining the reaction rates of the $^{55}$Ni(p,$γ$)$^{56}$Cu(p,$γ$)$^{57}$Zn($β^+$)$^{57}$Cu bypass around the $^{56}$Ni waiting point. Previous recommended mass excess values have disagreed by several hundred keV. Our new value, ME=$-38 626.7(6.4)$ keV, is a factor of 30 more precise than the suggested value from the 2012 atomic mass evaluation [Chin. Phys. C {\bf{36}}, 1603 (2012)], and more than a factor of 12 more precise than values calculated using local mass extrapolations, while agreeing with the newest 2016 atomic mass evaluation value [Chin. Phys. C {\bf{41}}, 030003 (2017)]. The new experimental average was used to calculate the astrophysical $^{55}$Ni(p,$γ$) and $^{57}$Zn($γ$,p) reaction rates and perform reaction network calculations of the rp-process. These show that the rp-process flow redirects around the $^{56}$Ni waiting point through the $^{55}$Ni(p,$γ$) route, allowing it to proceed to higher masses more quickly and resulting in a reduction in ashes around this waiting point and an enhancement to higher-mass ashes.

description: In this study, we report the highly sensitive extraction-fluorometric detection system of Na+ using flow injection analysis with a tetraester derivative of fluorescent calix[4]arene. In liquid-liquid extraction experiments, the fluorescent intensity of calix[4]arene derivative 1 bearing a p-nitrophenol moiety was highly dependent on pH and the Na+ concentration in the aqueous phase. On the other hand, such phenomenon was not observed in the case of calix[4]arene derivative 2, which is almost the same structure as 1 except for a p-nitrophenol moiety. These results show that the proton dissociation of the p-nitrophenol moiety decisively affects the fluorescence intensity of 1. Owing to these fluorescence responsiveness, a calibration graph of the Na+ concentration could be successfully prepared using flow injection analysis with good linearity at the tens of nanomolar level. The tetraester scaffold of calix[4]arene was essential to the detection of Na+ in such a very low concentration range.

description: The LZ dark matter detector, like many other rare-event searches, will suffer from backgrounds due to the radioactive decay of radon daughters. In order to achieve its science goals, the concentration of radon within the xenon should not exceed $2μ$Bq/kg, or 20 mBq total within its 10 tonnes. The LZ collaboration is in the midst of a program to screen all significant components in contact with the xenon. The four institutions involved in this effort have begun sharing two cross-calibration sources to ensure consistent measurement results across multiple distinct devices. We present here five preliminary screening results, some mitigation strategies that will reduce the amount of radon produced by the most problematic components, and a summary of the current estimate of radon emanation throughout the detector. This best estimate totals $<17.3$ mBq, sufficiently low to meet the detector's science goals.

description: Radiopure materials for detector components in rare event searches may be contaminated after manufacturing with long-lived $^{210}$Pb produced by the decay of atmospheric radon. Charged radon daughters deposited on the surface or implanted in the bulk of detector materials have the potential to cause noticeable backgrounds within dark matter regions of interest. Understanding the mechanics governing these background signals is therefore a paramount concern in dark matter experiments in order to distinguish a real signal from internal detector backgrounds. Teflon ($i.e.$ PTFE) is a specific material of interest because it makes up the walls of the inner detector of many liquid noble detectors such as the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment. The rate of radon daughter plate-out onto Teflon can be orders of magnitude larger than the plate-out rate onto other materials. Mitigation of plate-out onto Teflon and steel by proximity to other materials is demonstrated.

description: Objectives: To examine the factors associated with increase in lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD) by bisphosphonates (BPs) with active vitamin D analog (aVD). Methods: Two independent postmenopausal osteoporotic patients treated by BPs with aVD for 24 months (Study 1: n = 93, Study 2: n = 99) were retrospectively analyzed. Results: In Study 1, LS-BMD of the patients significantly increased for 24 m (5.4%, p r2: 0.088, p = .02). While average sCa of the patients was 9.2 mg/dL before treatment, it increased time-dependently to 9.6 mg/dL for 24 m by treatment. As each patient had their LS-BMD five times during the study, there were four instances of %LS-BMD in each patient, resulting in 372 instances of %LS-BMD in Study 1. The smallest Akaike’s information criterion value for the most appropriate cut-off levels of sCa for %LS-BMD by treatment every 6 m was 9.3 mg/dL. The %LS-BMD by treatment for 6 m during 24 m period in patients with sCa ≥9.3 mg/dL (1.5%) was significantly higher than that in patients with sCa <9.3 mg/dL (0.8%, p = .038). The results of Study 2 were similar to those of Study 1, confirming the phenomena observed. Conclusion: sCa was associated with an increased LS-BMD by BPs with aVD.

description: We present a numerical and theoretical study that supports and explains recent experimental results on anomalous magnetization fluctuations of a uniaxial ferromagnetic film in its low-temperature phase, which is forced by an oscillating field above the critical period of the associated dynamic phase transition (DPT) [P. Riego, P. Vavassori, A. Berger, Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 117202 (2017)]. For this purpose, we perform kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of a two-dimensional Ising model with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic interactions in the presence of a sinusoidally oscillating field, to which is added a constant bias field. We study a large range of system sizes and supercritical periods and analyze the data using a droplet-theoretical description of magnetization switching. We find that the period-averaged magnetization, which plays the role of the order parameter for the DPT, presents large fluctuations that give rise to well-defined peaks in its scaled variance and its susceptibility with respect to the bias field. The peaks are symmetric with respect to zero bias and located at values of the bias field that increase toward the field amplitude as an inverse logarithm of the field oscillation period. Our results indicate that this effect is independent of the system size for large systems, ruling out critical behavior associated with a phase transition. Rather, it is a stochastic-resonance phenomenon that has no counterpart in the corresponding thermodynamic phase transition, providing a reminder that the equivalence of the DPT to an equilibrium phase transition is limited to the critical region near the critical period and zero bias.

description: A potential background for the SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter experiment is from radon daughters that have plated out onto detector surfaces. To reach desired backgrounds, understanding plate-out rates during detector fabrication as well as mitigating radon in surrounding air is critical. A radon mitigated cleanroom planned at SNOLAB builds upon a system commissioned at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SD Mines). The ultra-low radon cleanroom at SD Mines has air supplied by a vacuum-swing-adsorption radon mitigation system that has achieved $>$1000$\times$ reduction for a cleanroom activity consistent with zero and $<0.067\,$Bq$\,$m$^{-3}$ at 90% confidence. Our simulation of this system, validated against calibration data, provides opportunity for increased understanding and optimization for this and future systems.

description:
Research on Black-White disparities in mortality emphasizes the cumulative pathways through which racism gets "under the skin" to affect health. Yet this framing is less applicable in early life, when death is primarily attributable to external causes rather than cumulative, biological processes. We use mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System Multiple Cause of Death files and population counts from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program to analyze 705,801 deaths among Black and White males and females, ages 15-24. We estimate age-standardized death rates and single-decrement life tables to show how all-cause and cause-specific mortality changed from 1990 to 2016 by race and sex. Despite overall declines in early-life mortality, Black-White disparities remain unchanged across several causes-especially homicide, for which mortality is nearly 20 times as high among Black as among White males. Suicide and drug-related deaths are higher among White youth during this period, yet their impact on life expectancy at birth is less than half that of homicide among Black youth. Critically, early-life disparities are driven by preventable causes of death whose impact occurs "outside the skin," reflecting racial differences in social exposures and experiences that prove harmful for both Black and White adolescents and young adults.
12. How can publishers help authors and institutions comply with Open Access policies: recommended standards

description: Scenario: Gradually, research funders and institutions have been implementing Open Access policies that require research outputs such as peer-reviewed articles to become available on open access. At a global level, institutional and funders Open Access policies have increased from just a small number in 2004 to 770 in early 2016. The transition to Open Access also means that publishers are adapting to a new work environment and as a result they have also been adopting policies to address the terms in which they allow peer-reviewed articles to become openly available. This scenario shows how complex and fragmented the Open Access policy landscape is and how challenging it is for academic support staff and authors to comply with multiple policies in a consistent and systematic way. Solution: Jisc has been taking action on aligning Open Access policies expression by funders and institutions (Open Access Policies Schema) and also by publishers (Global Open Access Compliance Standards for Publishers). Jisc has developed 13 recommended standards for publishers to adopt which will help authors and institutions globally to implement open access more effectively and reduce their cognitive and administrative burden. The standards include: adopting ORCID IDs; registering articles DOIs with CrossRef; populating co-authors’ affiliation; populating funding metadata; ensuring clarity on OA licensing terms; ensuring clarity on licensing/policy position for article versions; ensuring CC-BY licences for Gold OA; setting embargo periods aligned with those of the academic research community; detailing specific information in the author’s acceptance letter; supplying the accepted manuscript in the acceptance email; delivering an automated notification of acceptance; passing key dates in metadata; and allowing text/data mining. In addition to identifying standards for publishers to adopt, information is provided on the ways in which the academic research sector is asking for publishers’ support in reaching these Open Access standards. The standards have been reviewed and endorsed by universities, research libraries, learned societies internationally and by members of the Research Libraries UK (RLUK) and the Association for Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA). The next steps are to promote further support and the adoption of the standards by publishers globally through a partnership with UKSG. This poster presents the recommended standards and proposes to discuss ways for publishers to adopt the standards.

description: Over the last decade, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models have been highly successful in solving complex vision problems. However, these deep models are perceived as "black box" methods considering the lack of understanding of their internal functioning. There has been a significant recent interest in developing explainable deep learning models, and this paper is an effort in this direction. Building on a recently proposed method called Grad-CAM, we propose a generalized method called Grad-CAM++ that can provide better visual explanations of CNN model predictions, in terms of better object localization as well as explaining occurrences of multiple object instances in a single image, when compared to state-of-the-art. We provide a mathematical derivation for the proposed method, which uses a weighted combination of the positive partial derivatives of the last convolutional layer feature maps with respect to a specific class score as weights to generate a visual explanation for the corresponding class label. Our extensive experiments and evaluations, both subjective and objective, on standard datasets showed that Grad-CAM++ provides promising human-interpretable visual explanations for a given CNN architecture across multiple tasks including classification, image caption generation and 3D action recognition; as well as in new settings such as knowledge distillation.

description: Interactions between animals and microbes are ubiquitous in nature and strongly impact animal physiology. These interactions are shaped by the host immune system, which responds to infections and contributes to tailor the associations with beneficial microorganisms. In many insects, beneficial symbiotic associations not only include gut commensals, but also intracellular bacteria, or endosymbionts. Endosymbionts are housed within specialized host cells, the bacteriocytes, and are transmitted vertically across host generations. Host endosymbiont co-evolution shapes the endosymbiont genome and host immune system, which not only fights against microbial intruders, but also ensures the preservation of endosymbionts and the control of their load and location. The cereal weevil Sitophilus spp. is a remarkable model in which to study the evolutionary adaptation of the immune system to endosymbiosis owing to its binary association with a unique, relatively recently acquired nutritional endosymbiont, Sodalis pierantonius. This Gram-negative bacterium has not experienced the genome size shrinkage observed in long-term endosymbioses and has retained immunogenicity. We focus here on the sixteen antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) identified in the Sitophilus oryzae genome and their expression patterns in different tissues, along host development or upon immune challenges, to address their potential functions in the defensive response and endosymbiosis homeostasis along the insect life cycle.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Sculpting the microbiome: How host factors determine and respond to microbial colonisation’.

description: Argo floats measure seawater temperature and salinity in the upper 2,000 m of the global ocean. Statistical analysis of the resulting spatio-temporal dataset is challenging due to its nonstationary structure and large size. We propose mapping these data using locally stationary Gaussian process regression where covariance parameter estimation and spatio-temporal prediction are carried out in a moving-window fashion. This yields computationally tractable nonstationary anomaly fields without the need to explicitly model the nonstationary covariance structure. We also investigate Student-$t$ distributed fine-scale variation as a means to account for non-Gaussian heavy tails in ocean temperature data. Cross-validation studies comparing the proposed approach with the existing state-of-the-art demonstrate clear improvements in point predictions and show that accounting for the nonstationarity and non-Gaussianity is crucial for obtaining well-calibrated uncertainties. This approach also provides data-driven local estimates of the spatial and temporal dependence scales for the global ocean which are of scientific interest in their own right.

description: Scholars of US politics report a strong connection between income inequality and party polarisation. This study evaluates this relationship comparatively, and finds that the opposite association holds outside the United States, namely, that increasing inequality depolarises political parties’ economic positions. High levels of inequality change the composition of the core constituencies on the left and depress the participation of low-income voters, leaving left-wing parties with less support when they adopt distinct leftward positions. At the same time, inequality does not create strong incentives for right-wing parties to move further rightward. Therefore, income inequality leads to party systems that are depolarised on economic issues. The results have implications for our understanding of political representation, economic inequality, and political polarisation.

They called their radio truck Alice. He was a keen photographer and documented his time in the Army in a photo album. The photo album starts in 1940, and then jumps to 1944, but I'm not sure what he was doing between these years. In October 1944 he was in Holland, with 165 W/T Section. I believe he developed the photos himself, he had a dark room in the loft. My father was at Luneburg Heath at the time of the surrender. We believe he passed his camera to a more senior colleague who was present when the surrender was signed, and they took that particular photo. The album also includes pictures of Field Marshal Montgomery.My dad's radio truck took the radio message about the surrender, and he retrieved a copy from the bin.He didn't really speak much about his time in the Army, he never spoke about being in action.

description: We propose here a new discretization method for a class continuum gauge theories which action functionnals are polynomials of the curvature. Based on the notion of holonomy, this discretization procedure appears gauge-invariant for discretized analogs of Yang-Mills theories, and hence gauge-fixing is fully rigorous for these discretized action functionnals. Heuristic parts are forwarded to the quantization procedure via Feynman integrals and the meaning of the heuristic infinite dimensional Lebesgue integral is questionned.
IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW EDUCATION POLICIES (2020): OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

description: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a comprehensive reform aimed at transforming India’s education system by promoting holistic learning, skill-based education, digital integration, and inclusivity. This study assesses the awareness, opportunities, and challenges associated with NEP 2020, with a specific focus on stakeholders in Coimbatore District. The research adopts a descriptive research design, utilizing structured questionnaires and interviews to gather insights from teachers, students, administrators, and policymakers. A sample size of 100 respondents was selected, and statistical tools such as chi-square analysis and Eigen factor analysis were applied for data interpretation. Findings indicate that while stakeholders acknowledge the policy’s potential to enhance multidisciplinary learning, vocational training, and digital education, challenges such as infrastructure gaps, digital inequality, financial constraints, and resistance to change hinder effective implementation. The study highlights the need for targeted training programs, increased investment in digital infrastructure, and policy standardization to ensure the successful execution of NEP 2020. By bridging these gaps, the policy can significantly enhance India’s global competitiveness, research capabilities, and lifelong learning opportunities.

description: Movement complexity can be defined as the capability of using different strategies to accomplish a specific task and is expected to increase with maturation, reaching its highest level in adulthood.Multiscale Entropy (MSE) has been proposed to estimate complexity on different kinematic signals, at different time scales. When applied on trunk acceleration data during natural walking (NW) at different ages, MSE decreased from childhood to adulthood, apparently contradicting the premises. On the contrary, authors hypothesised that this decrease was dependent on the specific task analysed and resulted from the concurrent increase in gait automaticity.This work aims to test this hypothesis, applying MSE on a non-paradigmatic task (tandem walking, TW), in order to exclude aspects related to automaticity.MSE was estimated on trunk acceleration data, collected on children, adolescents, and young adults during TW and NW. As hypothesized, MSE increased significantly with age in TW and decreased in NW on the sagittal plane. Assuming the development of complexity in TW as reference, MSE in NW showed a reduction to half of the complexity of TW with maturation on the sagittal plane. These results indicate MSE as sensitive to differences in performance due to maturation and to expected changes in complexity related to the specific performed task.

Data were collected simultaneously over a momentum transfer range $0.1< Q^2<0.5$~(GeV/c)$^2$ with the Bates Large Acceptance Spectrometer Toroid using an internal deuterium gas target, polarized sequentially in both vector and tensor states. The data are compared with calculations. The beam-vector asymmetry $A^V_{ed}$ is found to be directly sensitive to the $D$-wave component of the deuteron and have a zero-crossing at a missing momentum of about 320~MeV/c, as predicted. The tensor asymmetry $A^T_d$ at large missing momentum is found to be dominated by the influence of the tensor force in the neutron-proton final-state interaction. The new data provide a strong constraint on theoretical models.

description: Deliverable D6.1 aims to revise the high-level regulatory, technical, and functional requirements outlined in previous deliverables (D2.2, D2.3, and D2.4) and provide detailed specifications for the ThrombUS+ system, designed for monitoring and preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT).A thorough analysis of the proposed conceptual architecture revealed the need for two critical external components: a dedicated Wi-Fi router for secure, reliable, and low-latency communication between modules, independent of the hospital network, and an isolating power transformer to ensure electrical safety, noise reduction, and compliance with medical standards. These additions were incorporated into the system design. The internal ThrombUS+ system modules were categorized into hardware and software components, with detailed specifications provided in standardized tables. This process involved making several key decisions, and the specifications will serve as a foundation for the development of individual modules and subsystems in the future.The ThrombUS+ system is designed with high modularity, allowing flexible configuration and integration of different modules to support various DVT monitoring methods. The primary monitoring methods include compression duplex ultrasonography, venous occlusion plethysmography, and light reflection rheography. Each method will utilize different module sets and operate in one of three working modes: imaging, monitoring, or analysis. A separate set of modules will also focus on DVT prevention.Finally, the deliverable identifies potential improvements to the ThrombUS+ system development process, including the adoption of embedded systems design methodologies, optimization of real-time embedded execution, risk mitigation strategies, and the possibility of extending the system to support telemonitoring.

description: Consider a channel allocation problem over a frequency-selective channel.There are K channels (frequency bands) and N users such that K=bN for some positive integer b. We want to allocate b channels (or resource blocks) to each user. Due to the nature of the frequency-selective channel, each user considers some channels to be better than others. The optimal solution to this resource allocation problem can be computed using the Hungarian algorithm. However, this requires knowledge of the numerical value of all the channel gains, which makes this approach impractical for large networks. We suggest a suboptimal approach, that only requires knowing what the M-best channels of each user are. We find the minimal value of M such that there exists an allocation where all the b channels each user gets are among his M-best. This leads to feedback of significantly less than one bit per user per channel. For a large class of fading distributions, including Rayleigh, Rician, m-Nakagami and others, this suboptimal approach leads to both an asymptotically (in K) optimal sum-rate and an asymptotically optimal minimal rate. Our non-opportunistic approach achieves (asymptotically) full multiuser diversity as well as optimal fairness, by contrast to all other limited feedback algorithms.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: [Abridged] We use the WINGS database to select a sample of 67 nearby galaxy clusters with at least 30 spectroscopic members each. 53 of these clusters do not show evidence of substructures in phase-space, while 14 do. We estimate the virial radii and circular velocities of the 67 clusters by a variety of proxies (velocity dispersion, X-ray temperature, and richness) and use these estimates to build stack samples from these 53 and 14 clusters ('Reg' and 'Irr' stacks, respectively). We determine the number-density and velocity-dispersion profiles (VDPs) of E, S0, and Sp+Irr (S) galaxies in the Reg and Irr samples, separately, and fit models to these profiles. The number density profiles of E, S0, and S galaxies are adequately described by either a NFW or a cored King model, both for the Reg and Irr samples, with a slight preference for the NFW model. The spatial distribution concentration increases from the S to the S0 and to the E populations, both in the Reg and the Irr stacks, reflecting the well-known morphology-radius relation. Reg clusters have a more concentrated spatial distribution of E and S0 galaxies than Irr clusters, while the spatial distributions of S galaxies in Reg and Irr clusters are similar. We propose a new phenomenological model that provides acceptable fits to the VDP of all our galaxy samples. The VDPs become steeper and with a higher normalization from E to S0 to S galaxies. The S0 VDP is close to that of E galaxies in Reg clusters, and intermediate between those of E and S galaxies in Irr clusters. Our results suggest that S galaxies are a recently accreted cluster population, that take less than 3 Gyr to evolve into S0 galaxies after accretion, and in doing so modify their phase-space distribution, approaching that of cluster ellipticals. While in Reg clusters this evolutionary process is mostly completed, it is still ongoing in Irr clusters.

description: Today, the vocabulary size for language models in large vocabulary speech recognition is typically several hundreds of thousands of words. While this is already sufficient in some applications, the out-of-vocabulary words are still limiting the usability in others. In agglutinative languages the vocabulary for conversational speech should include millions of word forms to cover the spelling variations due to colloquial pronunciations, in addition to the word compounding and inflections. Very large vocabularies are also needed, for example, when the recognition of rare proper names is important.

description: The use of duckweed-based wastewater treatment systems for producing biomass with high crude protein and starch content was investigated in the current study. For this reason, three lab-scale systems were used; System 1 was planted with Lemna minor, System 2 with Lemna gibba and System 3 with the combination of the two duckweeds. The studied duckweeds were cultivated using secondary treated wastewater as substrate (Phase A), in the presence of excess NH4-N (Phase B) and using water with no nutrients (Phase C). All systems achieved average NH4-N removal higher that 90%. The specific duckweeds growth rates and the specific duckweeds growth rates normalized to the area ranged between 0.14 d−1 and 8.9 g m−2 d−1 (System 1) to 0.19 d−1 and 14.9 g m−2 d−1(System 3). The addition of NH4-N resulted in a significant increase of biomass protein content, reaching 44.4% in System 3, 41.9% in System 2 and 39.4% in System 1. The transfer of biomass in water containing no nutrients resulted in the gradual increment of the starch content up to the end of the experiment. The highest starch content was achieved for the combination of the two duckweeds (46.1%), followed by L. gibba (44.9%) and L. minor (43.9%).

description: The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of plyometric training and mobility exercises on selected physical and physiological variables among men basketball players. . To achieve the purpose of the study, 45 basketball players from Arul Anandar colleges from karumathur were selected. The selected subjects’ age group was ranging from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups and each group consisted of 15 subjects. Group I acted as plyometric training, Group II acted as mobility exercises, Group III acted as control group. The random group design was employed. Experimental Group one underwent plyometric training for six weeks. Experimental Group two underwent mobility exercises for six weeks. The control group did not participate in any experimental treatment except of their regular activities. The subjects were tested of their physical and physiological variables prior to and after the experiment. The data collected were tested for the differences which were considered. The normality of the data was found through mean, standard deviation and F ratio and the data collected was found to be normal. The data collected on selected criterion variables were subjected to statistical analyze using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significant difference if any, between the groups on selected criterion variables separately. In all the cases, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance, which was considered as appropriate
