Web portal services have become an important medium to deliver digital content and service, as news, advertisements, and so on, to web users in a timely fashion. To attract more users to various content modules on the Web portal, it is necessary to build a relationship of trust with them by effectively achieving online content optimization by automatically estimating content items\' attractiveness and relevance to users\' interests. More than building, the long term sustenance of TRUST is necessary to bind users with the website forever. The present work presents a comprehensive testable research framework that can be used to investigate the TRUST built by the website over the period of time on its users. In nutshell, the purpose is to contribute in the effective measurement of TRUST evolved and maintained for information-driven or content websites over a long run.

This paper presents combined wavelet and ANN based protective relaying scheme for double circuit transmission lines with improved first zone reach setting upto 99%. Different ANN modules have been designed for fault detection, section identification, classification and location in time domain. The 3rd level approximate DWT coefficients of voltage and current signals of one end of the line are used as input. Simulation studies has been carried out using MATLAB considering wide variations in fault type, location, inception angle, fault resistance and different transmission line configurations of different voltage levels. The test results show that all shunt faults (both forward and reverse), its zone/section, fault type/faulty phase and location can be correctly identified within quarter cycle time. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is that it offers primary protection to total line length using single end data and backup protection to the adjacent forward and reverse line sections also.

The Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) belong to the class of production systems in which the main characteristic is the simultaneous execution of several processes and sharing a finite set of resource. Nowadays, the FMS must attend the demand of the market needs for personalized products. Consequently the product life cycle tends to be shorter and a greater variety of products must be produced in a simultaneous manner. FMS considered in this work has 16 CNC Machine tools for processing 80 varieties of products. Since minimizing machine idle time and minimizing total penalty cost are contradictory objectives, the problem has a multi objective nature. The objective of this research is to develop a modified non-dominated sorting GA (NSGA-II) for multi-objective optimization. The research then will evaluate and discuss the performance of the modified NSGA-II against the original NSGA-II. The Existing NSGA II has been modified in order to improve the global optimal front and reduce the computational effort. Result has been compared with the existing NSGA-II, cuckoo search (CS), particle swarm algorithm (PSA), etc. and it is found that the proposed approach is superior. The global optimum schedule is obtained after 4500 generations.

Climate changes affected waters environments and water trades and security over recent years. Impacts of global warming, water conflicts and shortages in resources for providing services and production of utilities and social welfare were highlighted. It was found water environment affected production of goods but not physically presented in the final products. In fact, what remained the environmental impact on water product was a very small content of water referred to transmission during trades of goods and services. Due to increasing growth of populations and improvement of living, countries required water increasing per head, whilst water resources availability has decreased. Planning for water environmental improvements were introduced to cover the distance between the resources and demands. Revision in policies for water environments were made the concept of virtual water, great potentials in this field were useful in decreasing water problems.

Abstract: \n\nIntroduction: The socio-economic conditions have made more job opportunities available to women. This has created interest to conduct studies on the effect of working lifestyle on pregnancy outcomes. This study has been conducted with the aim to assess the relationship between mothers’ working status as a social determinant and the incidence of low birth weight of the new born.\nMaterial and methods: This case-control study was conducted on 500 women with normal weight infants (control group) and 250 women with low birth weight infants (case group) in selected hospitals in Tehran. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire, designed to assess the effect of mothers’ prenatal lifestyle, as a social determinant, on low birth weight of the new born. A section of the questionnaire involved assessment of mother’s working condition in terms of the work environment, activities, and job satisfaction. Data were analysed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests.\nResults: low birth weight among employed mothers was 5 times more likely than unemployed ones group (OR=5.35 ,p<0.001).unfavourable work condition like humid environment , contact detergent, being in one position, standing or sitting, for a long hours were significantly associated with low birth weight(p<0.001). \nConclusion: The present study shows that unfavourable work condition is associated with low birth weight ,therefore ,attention to this is very important

Zinc is a trace element and essential nutrient in humans. It plays a vital role in all physiological processes. The aim of the present study is to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles by sol-gel process using zinc acetate dihydrate as the starting material and oleic acid as surfactant. The prepared sample was then calcined at two different temperatures 300 and 600 C. The synthesized samples were characterized using XRD, FE-SEM and EDAX to determine their morphology, composition, particle size and structure. The results obtained show agglomeration up to certain extent and the particle size is close to ~30 nm for calcination at 600 C. \nAntibacterial activity was performed using the MIC test for E.Coli (gram-negative) bacteria. Optical density of the samples was measured after the 14 hour incubation period and compared to the positive controller to determine the efficiency. Both the samples gave almost similar results probably due to high degree of agglomeration. The calcinations temperature is increased, particles tend to obtain a specific shape such as acicular or rod like. In case of antibacterial testing, a refined shape gives better results if the particle size is similar. If not, then the efficiency of the process will go down as the particle size increases, shape remaining the same.

Let $(X_{n, j}, j=1, 2, \\ldots; n=1, 2, \\ldots)$ be a row-wise triangular array of independent geometric random variables with probabilities\n$P\\left(X_{n, j} = k \\right) = p_{n, j}\\left(1-p_{n, j} \\right)^{k}, p_{n, j}\\in (0,1); j=1, 2, \\ldots; n=1, 2, \\ldots ; k=0, 1, \\ldots.$ Write $S_{n}=\\sum\\limits_{j = 1}^{n} X_{n, j}, \\lambda_{n} =\\sum\\limits_{j = 1}^{n} \\left(1-p_{n, j} \\right) p^{-1}_{n, j}$ and $\\mu_{n} =\\sum\\limits_{j = 1}^{n} \\left(1-p_{n, j} \\right).$ Denote by $Z_{\\lambda_{n}}$ and $Z_{\\mu_{n}}$ the Poisson random variables with parameters $\\lambda_{n}$ and $\\mu_{n},$ respectively. Let $\\mathbb{K}$ denote the class of all real-valued bounded functions on the set of all non-negative integers $Z_{+}=\\{0, 1, 2, \\ldots, n\\}.$ The norm of function $f\\in \\mathbb{K}$ is defined by $\\left\\| f \\right\\|\\mathop{= \\sup}\\limits_{x\\in Z_{+}}\\left| {f\\left( x \\right)} \\right|.$ The Renyi\'s operator associated with random variable X, denoted by $A_{X},$ is given by\n$$\nA_{X}f(x) = E\\big(f(X+x)\\big)=\\sum\\limits_{k = 0}^{\\infty} f(x + k)P(X = k), \\forall f \\in \\mathbb{K}, \\forall x \\in Z_{+}.\n$$\nLet $A_{S_{n}}, A_{Z_{\\lambda_{n}}}$ and $A_{Z_{\\mu_{n}}}$ denote the Renyi\'s operators associated with $S_{n}, Z_{\\lambda_{n}}$ and $Z_{\\mu_{n}},$ respectively.

Some bounds related to $\\parallel A_{S_{N_{}}}f-A_{Z_{\\lambda_{N_{n}}}}f \\parallel$ and $\\parallel A_{S_{N_{n}}}f-A_{Z_{\\mu_{N_{n}}}}f \\parallel$ in Poisson approximation for random sums of independent geometric random variables are also investigated, with $N_{n}, n=1,2, \\ldots$ are positive integer-valued random variables independent of all $X_{n, 1}, X_{n, 2}, \\ldots; n=1, 2, \\ldots.$ The received results in this paper are extension and generalization of known earlier ones.

A karyotype of Adenoscolex oreini Fotedar, 1958, a cestode parasite of Cyprinid fish, Kashir Gaad, Schizothorax species (Cypriniformes) has been studied for the first time. A chromosome set consists of 20 pairs of metacentric, submetacentric and acrocentric chromosomes (2n=20; n= 8m+1sm+1a). All pairs are small, measuring 7.22-1.86 µm. It seems that the chromosome number of Adenoscolex oreini, a member of family Capingentidae is higher as compared to that of the members of family Caryophyllaeidae. The variation in size of smallest bivalents and other bivalents indicates that the somatic chromosomes will show a marked variation in the length of longest and shortest chromosome in Adenoscolex oreini. So far no body has undertaken the cytological studies of this parasite and in the present investigation its chromosome number is being reported for the first time.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effective factors on the research performance of faculty members of large and very large branches at Islamic Azad University in district 7. The instrument was a questionnaire which was made by the researcher and it included questions in six groups related to organizational, managerial, economic, social, personal and infrastructure and facilities factors. Thus, 275 faculty members were selected randomly through stratified sampling. Data analysis was done by SPSS 19 and a descriptive analysis was conducted on the samples to measure frequency, percentage and mean of the data. In the inferential statistic section, a Kolmograf-Smirnof test was used and then due to lack of normal distribution of the variables and because t-test is not allowed, a non-parametric test which was consistent with it in form of a binomial test was conducted on the samples in order to analyze the data inferentially. The findings confirmed all six research hypothesis. Meanwhile, the results indicated that among six factors, infrastructure and facilities factors with a mean score of 4.14 make the most impact and social factors with a mean score 2.67 make the least impact on the research performance of faculty members.

In this research also attempts to understand the details of the heritage and the City\'s specificity which only occurred recently through several phenomena of which was urban rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:Medication error is a significant problem in the global healthcare system with a major safety risk to the hospitalized patients. The present study was carried out to determine of medication errors in Cardex and Drug Cards in Teaching Hospitals at Yasuj, Iran. Four hundred nineteen patient case-sheets were reviewed to identify any inconsistencies. Prescribed medicines written on the case-sheets were compared with the transferred and recorded data on cardex and drug cards. Inconsistent cases and errors were identified. Statistical analysis was accomplished using the SPSS software, descriptive tests, standard deviation, tables of absolute and relative frequency distribution. The results showed major errors with the highest percent of inconsistency or incomplete entries occurring in cardex (17.5%) and drug cards (18.1%) when prescription information was transferred from patient’s case-sheets. Researchers found 9% of prescribed medications on the patient’s case-sheets were not transferred to the drug cards and 3.2% were not recorded on the cardex. The discontinued prescriptions written on the case-sheets were not transferred to the cardex (1%) and drug cards (2.5%).A large number of inconsistencies were found in data transfer from patient’s case-sheet to cardex and drug cards with great potential for medication errors and health risk to patients.

O mercado de espumantes cresce de 10% a 20% ao ano e o consumo está em ascensão em todos os mercados mais importantes do mundo. O mercado brasileiro está favorável ao consumo e comercialização do espumante, uma vez que, a desmistificação da bebida tem contribuído para a quebra da sazonalidade. Isto, aliado à ascensão econômica e cultural e a preocupação das pessoas em consumir produtos com qualidade são fundamentais para uma expansão ainda maior do mercado de espumantes no Brasil destacou CAUS; FARINA e PEREIRA (2014). O objetivo do trabalho foi que a pesquisa de mercado sobre o consumo de bebidas derivadas da uva, realizada durante os meses de Fevereiro e Março de 2014, tivesse seus dados estratificados, agora com foco nos resultados obtidos pelo consumo somente de espumantes na região sul do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil.

A região da Campanha consolidou-se como produtora de vinhos finos na década de 1980, munida de grande diversidade ambiental, atrelado a um posicionamento privilegiado ao longo do chamado paralelo 31, oportunizando a produção de uvas viníferas finas que originam vinhos de diferentes características de tipicidade dentro da própria região, de acordo com as condições climáticas específicas de cada zona de produção (SILVA, 2012). Segundo o Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA, 2013), a renda dos brasileiros aumentou nos últimos cinco anos e a população está consumindo mais alimentos com maior valor agregado, entre eles o vinho, por exemplo, se tornando muito atraente para a entrada de empresas vitivinícolas, como a Seronni & Lazzarotto. O objetivo do trabalho foi elaborar uma pesquisa de mercado para obter-se um levantamento do perfil dos consumidores da região sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, em relação às bebidas derivadas da uva como sucos, vinhos e espumantes.

The ability of date palm seeds for adsorptive removal of Cd2+from aqueous solutions was investigated. The parameters of pH, initial Cd2+ ion concentration, adsorbent dose and contact time were studied in batch technique. Characterization of DPS was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The kinetics and equilibrium data indicate that the adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. As well as the thermodynamic data indicate that adsorption processes is exothermic. The values of enthalpy (ΔH°) and activation energy (Ea) indicate that the adsorption process is chemical in nature.
