Contribution of Time Management in developing a sense of wellbeing among nursing students of a public hospital[ ]


Introduction Wellbeing refers to authorities of optimistic outcomes that help to realize one’s physical, mental, social, spiritual, and emotional potentials in a society (Awartani, Whitman, &Gordon, 2007). Students who perceived time control reported better performance, better work, and a satisfied life with less problems, less workload (Beiter et al., 2015). The development of a sense of improving time management and coping with these stressors can assist the nursing students to be in a state of well-being

Understanding the criterion of sampling technique and selection of dispersant in attaining better results during wet method development for particle size analysis[ ]


This article deliberates on the measurement of crystal growth rates using laser diffraction technique. The paper discussed how the method was developed and experiments carried out in a fluidized bed apparatus, a specifically designed measuring chamber typical in solid and liquid crystallization dealing with both spherical and non-spherically shaped particles. The particles were exposed to high suspension densities. The outcome indicated that particle size distributions are subject to the volume concentration. The experimental results used both different volume concentrations and constant particle sizes. Timely detection and correction of errors in the volume concentration helped to obtain reproducible and understandable particle size distribution. The experiment led to the introduction of an essential correlation function for the particle size measurements at great suspension densities.

Kinetic & Kinematic Evaluation of the Use of Stiff Form-Fitted Industrial Back Belts Using 3-D Motion Capturing System[ ]


The objective of this study is to examine the effect of using a new stiff form-fitted industrial back belt on musculoskeletal stresses and movement restriction during manual material handling (MMH). The use of back belts to prevent musculoskeletal injuries has been controversial. Back-A-Line (BAL) introduced new stiff form-fitted industrial back belts that were proven to modify reaching postures during tasks requiring enhanced stability and that design was yet to be tested during tasked that required enhanced movement. A 3-D motion capturing system was used to capture trajectories and calculate dynamic properties of body joints and relative angles between body segments of participants lifting a 9kg box from floor to table.

EVALUATION DE LA CROISSANCE ET DU RENDEMENT DE QUELQUES VARIÉTES DE MAÏS EN INTRODUCTION DANS L’ECOLOGIE DE MULUNGU[ ]


This study was conducted in an agronomic research station in order to evaluate the performance of some maize varieties in the introduction. It was found that the varieties studied were characterized by a normal cycle, and medium and large individuals. The SC303 and SC301 varieties had the best vegetative characteristics. While the best yields were obtained from varieties SC301, 10C2738. On the other hand, the lowest yields were registered with local varieties and used as controls, particularly Ecavel and Bamboo. But also most of these new varieties have been more diseases compared to local varieties.

A SIMPLE PV MODULE CHARACTERIZATION AND PREDICTION USING INCREMENTAL RESISTANCE TECHNIQUE[ ]


The data sheet provided on pv panels is most often exaggerated by manufacturers in other to lure unsuspecting buyers to patronize their products. For an ordinary pv users, this pose no problem at all as long as current is being generated using the panels. However, for research purpose, this gives inaccurate information thereby rendering the research result null and void. The information provided on the data sheet includes; the open circuit voltage, the short circuit current and the experimental maximum power.

A NOVEL LEAK DETECTION IN OIL PIPELINE USING MODIFIED DARCY-WEISBACH EQUATION[ ]


The safety of oil and gas pipelines is of utmost importance to pipeline operators. This is due to the importance of the product, the financial loss and damages associated with ruptures of oil and gas pipeline. People usually break the pipeline and siphon huge quantities of crude and sell it in the black market at a much lower price. Though, a lot of techniques has been developed to detect and localize leakages in pipeline on time to prevent theft and spillage, a new technique is now being used in Nigeria to siphon oil from pipeline without being easily detected. This research follows a similar study conducted on gas pipeline using modified panhandle B equation.

Combining of Chaetomium globosum (Sordariales: Chaetomiaceae) and botanical insecticide, neem to control Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) biotype B on cucumber[ ]


The potential for using the entomopathogenic fungi and neem to control Bemisia tabaci has been previously evaluated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. However, no study has been conducted on the efficacy of Chaetomium globosum alone or in combination with neem against B. tabaci. This study, therefore, was aimed to determie the virulence of C. globosum against second instar nymphs of B. tabaci biotype B and it is interaction with neem to control B. tabaci in the laboratory conditions. Three concentrations of C. globosum (1×107, 1×106 or 1×105 conidia ml-1) and three concentrations of neem were tested.

Survey on Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval[ ]


The rise in unmatched multilingual resources afforded by the exponential WWW growth demands the advancement of technologies to eradicate the communication barriers among languages. Relevant information in collections and the Web is not limited to the native language of the user, but today, the need to retrieve documents in other languages is growing so that the content, which can be translated, satisfies the information needs of the user. Information retrieval (IR) can be classified into different categories such as monolingual information retrieval, Cross lingual information retrieval (CLIR) and Multi lingual information retrieval (MLIR). In the present day scenario, the diversity of information and language barriers are the serious challenges for communication and cultural interchange across the globe.

COMPARISON OF VARIOUS SENTIMENT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES – A STUDY[ ]


In Today’s World, A huge amount of user data such as reviews, comments, surveys and opinion polls are collected via many resources like social websites, e-commerce websites and blogs. All of the data is used by private industries, government and individuals for analysis of their products, events and advertising campaigns etc. It is very difficult to analyze this huge amount of data that is why we need a solution. We need to develop an artificial intelligent system which can automatically classify data into different categories on the basis of polarity positive, negative or neutral. Sentiment analysis is an automated solution for classifying and mining of user reviews, opinions and emotions gathered from various resources such as text surveys and database containing user opinions using natural language processing (NLP). The objective of this paper is to understand concept of sentiment analysis and compare various type of sentiment analysis techniques.

REDUCTION OF CONVERTER TRANSFORMER FAILURES IN HVDC TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS USING ACTIVE FILTERS[ ]


An HVDC transmission system has a converter transformer as one of its main components. The failure of the converter transformer is one of the major concerns for electric power utilities all over the world. Invariably, the top portions of the secondary windings of the converter transformers fail whereas the primaries are left unaffected. In this work, an effort has been made to analyze the causes for these failures by means of modeling a practical HVDC system existing in India which ties up Talcher and Kolar and has a length of 1368 km.

REPLACEMENT OF WHITE CEMENT WITH ORDINARY PORTLAND CEMENT IN CONCRETE SPECIMENS[ ]


The project investigates the strength of concrete using the blends of Ordinary Portland Cement and White Cement under varying mix proportions. The concrete specimens casted with White Cement and Ordinary Portland Cement in different ratios are tested for mechanical properties. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is partially replaced by White Cement in quantities of 0%, 10%, 25%, 50 % and 75% of the weight of OPC. The tests on concrete specimens using blends of OPC and White Cement are carried out as per British EN standards. Tests are performed to compare compressive and tensile strengths of the blends and finding an optimum value at which use of the combination is economically viable. Study was done to also compare concrete strengths when aggregates are dry crushed against saturated surface dry.
