How Men and Women Treated Differently in Media[ ]


Media plays a critical and powerful role in the development of public consciousness because of the ability of mass media to fix different stereotypes and concepts in the public opinion. In the present modern world, the life pace has increased to a significant level due to which, the flow of information has increased and in this regarding stereotypes have significant importance for the normal function of society. Thus, media can play a considerable role in the cognition process and different things happening in the world to make effective decisions. The role of media in the process of communication is very high and they are associated with the homogeneous phenomena to present different facts and also allow the exchange of information.

Prescribing Aerobic pace training to the National Swim Team of Faroe Islands[ ]


Swimming is a popular competitive sport, high influenced by the endurance. The aim of the present research was to determine values as critical swimming velocity (VCrit) and the correlation among to the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and Heart rate at anaerobic threshold (HRAnT); in elite national swimmers of Faroe Islands. There were 17 (11 female, 6 male) volunteer participants (age 17.25 ± 1.01 years; height 169 ± 10.20cm; body mass 61.33 ± 9.90kg). The results of the correlation analysis showed significant correlations between VCrit and HRAnT (r = 0.79, p<0.01); between VCrit and RPE (r = 0.73, p < 0.01); In addition, the HRAnT was correlated to HRmax (r = 0.52, p < 0.05). We conclude: estimation of VCrit its and easy, reliable and simple way to prescribe the onset of anaerobic training.

This research was conducted in PD. Bank Bahteramas in Wakatobi Regency Southeast Sulawesi Province with purposes to build customer trust model as well as to determine and analyze the implication of customer model trust implementation on increased customer commitment and loyalty. It is used primary data and then it is processed and analyzed by using descriptive analysis method and then FGD to decide the model to build customer trust in PD. Bank Bahteramas Wakatobi. It decides a model called as Customer Quadrilateral Trust Model. Results of significant test analysis prove that the implementation of customer quadrilateral trust model can improve customer commitment and loyalty in a significant level in PD. Bank Bahteramas Wakatobi. There are still some weakness of the customer quadrilateral trust model, namely it gives less attention to communication and interaction aspects so that it is necessary to develop it further in following research using triangle model.

Phylogenetic Delineation of Salmonella serovars using Multiple Locus Sequence Typing (MLST)[ ]


Multiple Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) based on fliB, fliD, metR, ompS, phoQ, rfaF and yehU genes were developed for differentiation of salmonella serovars. The complete genome sequences were available for 55 different salmonella serovars at the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. Single locus gene markers like rnpB gene, operons of 16s rRNA and 23s rRNA were unable to distinguish all the 55 serovars of Salmonella. Hence the seven novel genes which include both virulent and housekeeping genes were used in MLST technique and the discriminatory power of MLST was found to be 0.998.

A Web-Based Clinical Decision Support System for the Management of Diabetes Neuropathy using Naive Bayes Algorithm[ ]


Diabetes Neuropathy is a chronic health problem with devastating, yet preventable consequences. Due to this shortage of specialists, there is a need for a Clinical Decision Support System that will diagnose and manage diabetes neuropathy. This work therefore aimed at designing a web-based Clinical Decision Support System for the management of early diabetes neuropathy. Four pattern classification algorithms (K-Nearest Neighborhood, Decision Tree, Decision Stump and Rule Induction) were adopted in this work and were evaluated to determine the most suitable algorithm for the clinical decision support system. Datasets were gathered from reliable sources; two teaching hospitals in Nigeria, these were used for the evaluation Benchmarks such as performance, accuracy level, precision, confusion matrices and the models building’s speed were used in comparing the generated models. The study showed that Naïve Bayes outperformed all other classifiers with accuracy being 60.50%.

Combines the method of Duval Triangle 2 and theory of Correlation Coefficient to Diagnose the Operation Status in On-Load Tap Changers’ Equipment with Dissolved Gases Analysis[ ]


This paper takes advantage of the characteristics theory of the correlation coefficient to develop a practical approach of diagnosis On-Load Tap Changers’ Operation Status in oil-immersed transformer. In this paper, three references data were taken as the random variables of correlation coefficient from the literature of the ANSI/IEEE C57.139 specification, namely - the danger level of it’s for the threshold dataset, coking and arcing of failure datasets. Those references performed correlation coefficient with the sample oil data in a program individually. This approach was been verified from the databases of IEC TC 10 database and Taiwan Power Company, which has the accurate degree better than tradition approaches. The advantage of this approach is not only shows each gas concentration of the sample data and the reference data, but also the diagnostic text on report. The accurate degree is confirmed up 96.1% from IEC TC 10 database and Taiwan Power Company data. Thus it illustrates that it can an alternative tool for On–Load Tap Changers’ Operation Status diagnosis.

Structural Characterization and Magnetic properties of Chromium substituted Nickel nano ferrites[ ]


Mixed Ni-Cr nano ferrite system having the compositional formula NiCrXFe2−XO4 (Where X = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0) were synthesized using Citrate-Gel auto combustion method. The structural characterization was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray analysis shows that the samples are cubic spinel structure (single phase) without any impurity peak and average crystallite size was in the range 8.55-10.36nm. The X- ray density, bulk density and porosity were calculated. Magnetic properties were measured at room temperature in the applied field of ±6KOe. The obtained M-H loop area is very narrow, hence the synthesized nano ferrites become soft magnetic materials with less magnetization. Magnetic parameters such as saturation magnetization, magnetic moment and Y-K angle were measured and discussed with regard to Cr3+ ion concentration. The Curie temperature is measured from Loria-Sinha method. The observed results can be explained on the basis of composition.

Code Clone Detection System using hybrid technique along with optimal intelligence techniques[ ]


A lot of search about code clones, detection systems, techniques and tools are available world widely. Code clones are the duplicate code of source codes which are formed by copying and pasting code fragments of different programs into new programs to avoid writing and wasting time. It also reuses of codes with some modifications in original source codes. So. Due to the copy paste, reuse and minor modifications in original source codes causes many defects into the software. code clones are verified as a main source of defects, which means they cause problems into the implementation and maintenance of software.

Enhanced LSB technique for Audio Steganography Using Random sample Encoding[ ]


Least Significant Bit (LSB) hiding technique is the most simple and efficient technique used for audio steganography. The idea be-hind this research is to improve the conventional LSB technique by increasing the capacity of the hidden data and to get minimum effect for audio signal, which is used to hide data. The approach proposes two steps; the first step is to randomize the selected frame that is used to hide data while the second step to embed the message bits in the deeper layers of samples and alter other bits to decrease the error, to achieve higher capacity and robustness.

Quantitative Image textural analysis of Time dependent Surface structural changes of Gutta Percha in two different solvents -- SEM study[ ]


Gutta Percha (GP) has been the choicest endodontic restoration, when coated with a sealant for better binding and adhesion with the canal walls. The filling hardens on setting eliminating any chance of micro leakage. In the event of a failure of the treatment, removal of the filling to reattempt endodontics is a necessary mandate. Eugenol an organic solvent and xylene, a chemical solvent have been in use, to soften the GP to aid removal. Removal, however is not easy, and quite laborious even with the contemporary rotary instruments and the search for an efficient solvent to aid rotary is an ongoing research.
