The search for what will motivate the students to have a better attitude
towards learning Mathematics led us to choosing mentoring. Despite the
generally accepted belief that only positive effects can result from the implementation
of planned mentoring programs, little research has been conducted evaluating mentoring
programs, hence this effort to assess the schools’ Mathematics Mentoring
exercise in Algebra by sounding the opinions of both staff and students. The
present study examines the opin...

There are a lot of increasing evidences to support the strong links
between action and language. Action based approach proposed the hierarchical
structure of language based on action control and concerned with action goal,
context, intention, mirror neurons and object affordances. Action semantics
proposed that action control and use of object need not only low-level action
control, but also semantic knowledge. Action Semantics are hierarchically
organized and selectively activated depending on ...

Intertrochanteric fractures of femur (IFF) that comprise 8% - 10% of all fractures
are most com- monly seen in people over 65 years old. Fractures of this region not
only affect general state of health of patients, but also affect their lives mentally,
socially and economically. Sufficient reduction and rigid internal fixation are
still the best method for unstable IFF. Because of its biomechanical and anatomical
design, proximal femoral nail (PFN) is a fixation material that has started to be
i...

In order to study the germination pattern and
root trainer technology for Terminalia arjuna, its seeds were procured from two places of central Kerala and their
germination studies were conducted in six different sowing media using fresh,
pretreated and seeds stored up to three months. Germination value (GV) for all
the field trials was calculated that showed highest for fresh seeds without
pretreatments sown in PBCP and RTCP. Maximum GV for pretreated seeds were
recorded in control and i...

The present study discusses innovative approach ensuring quality
assurance taking into account two important aspects namely: pedagogy and
evaluation strategies integrating the effective use of technology. Open and distance
learning system plays a key role in enhancing the enrollment ratio in higher
education. Therefore, sustaining quality assurance is essentially pivotal in
the current digital era. Considering these issues, the paper work illustrates
one of the effective ways of evaluation strat...

Mine tailings (MT) have been used in previous studies as substitute
construction material to recycle waste products, especially in hollow blocks
and bricks production and as masonry mortar. This study investigated the use of
Philex copper-gold mine tailings (PCGMT) in roller compacted concrete (RCC) production,
a mining waste material consisting of finely grinded siliceous particles was obtained
from Tailings Pond number 2 (TP2) of a Philippine copper and gold mining
company. A comprehensive exp...

Infectious disease is a serious global health problem. However, its
negative impact is felt more in sub Saharan Africa. Epidemiological figures
have shown that the burden of infectious disease is highest in the African continent
especially in sub Saharan Africa. A majority of people leaving in sub
Saharan Africa are poor and their exposure to infectious disease worsens their
poverty situation. Aside impoverishing infected individuals, infectious
diseases also directly negatively impact the econo...

A simple method was developed to synthesize the N-succinyl-chitosan (NSC)
successfully. NSC was characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and element
analysis. The NSC can form nanoparticles with TPP through electrostatic interaction.
The morphology, particle size and zeta potential of the nanoparticle were
investigated and showed a 100 - 200 nm in diameter with a positive potential
9.99 mv. The encapsulation efficiency of
NSC-ES-NPs was 94.76 ± 0.05. The in vitro cell culture indicates th...

This research is conducted to determine if the shelf life of bananas
increases when it is stored in closed polystyrene containers and placed in
refrigerated camera with cool temperatures. Bananas were acquired when they
were in greenness rates 1, 2, 3 and 4. In the refrigerator it is applied
temperatures of 10℃ - 12℃. By each maturity index (1, 2, 3 and 4), the fruits were packaged in
four containers (repeats), which were opened every five days to observe signs
of sensory maturity. The response ...

Using data derived from Sichuan Statistical Yearbooks and investigations of
land-use change, the present research does a DEA-model study of regional differences
in overall input-output efficiencies of construction land in the economic development
of Sichuan province between 1999 and 2012. It finds that though in all land-use
regions of the province the overall input-output efficiencies of construction land
maintain a comparatively high standard, in some regions they are not in complete
accordanc...
