Data mining is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information. Data mining is applied to find patterns to help in the important tasks of medical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we present a sensor to measure water level in rivers, lakes, lagoons and streams. For such purpose and to prove our concept, we designed a pilot project through a micro-model that is constructed with a water level measurement sensor based on a simple open circuit that closes when in contact with water and experimentally tested into a water container under a controlled environment. The indicator for acidity, alkalinity, or basic is known as the PH value. A PH value of 7 means a substance is neutral. The lower value indicates acidity, and a higher value is a sign of alkalinity. Side effects that may occur after drugs are added to Bacteriostatic. Water includes fever, abscess formation, venous thrombosis or phlebitis, tissue death, and infections. We are going to implement weka tool to compare the time execution, frequency and an execution process by using a genetic algorithm. Here we used the Ultrasonic Sensor technique to measure the water level. Ultrasonic sensors are based on the measurement of the properties of acoustic waves with frequencies above the human audible range, often at roughly 40 kHz. They typically operate by generating a high-frequency pulse of sound, and then receiving and evaluating the properties of the echo pulse. In this study, the principle of water pinch technology, the optimization of water, steam allocation network have been studied and minimization of freshwater utility and wastewater generation in one of the petroleum refineries of Iran is taken into consideration. In order to research in this field and simplify the relevant calculations, an algorithm was developed and applied for reforming the network. Finally, the micro-model is tested by experimental tests under a controlled environment and satisfactory results are obtained. The experimental evaluation results showed a 99.2% of accuracy and which proves this mechanism effective and reliable in water optimization.

The present study is made on “Preference of English language teaching methods and techniques of prospective teachers in Kongumandalam Region”. A sample of 847 prospective teachers from 41 B.Ed colleges in Kongumandalam region who were studying English pedagogy as main subject has been selected based on simple random sampling technique. This will constitute 71.65 (847/1182) percentage of sample from the total population. A normative research method and survey technique has been adopted. The descriptive statistical analysis shows that the prospective teachers belonging to Coimbatore district had higher preference of English language teaching methods and techniques, and high personality traits and Nilgiris district had high styles of learning and thinking. The level of preference of English teaching methods and techniques, personality traits and style of learning and thinking of prospective teachers was average for the whole sample and sub-sample. The regression statistical analysis had shown that daily newspaper reading, personality traits and speaking in English were the strong predictors of preference of English language teaching methods and techniques of prospective teachers in the Kongumandalam region.

The present study is aimed at assessing the preferences of ninth standard students in various situations of situational approach of English language teaching. All the ninth standard students studying in the high and higher secondary schools in Thanjavur district form the population of the study. 200 ninth standard students have chosen randomly to form the sample of the study. Percentage analysis was the only statistical technique adopted to compute the number of students preferring each situation. A rating scale for student’s preference towards different situations was prepared and validated by the researcher to collect data. The percentage analysis of the collected data reveals that real life situations are the most preferred situation from the situational approach by ninth standard students; whereas verbal situation is the least preferred by them. Male students, Students from rural area, Students from government and aided schools have more preference towards real life situations; whereas female students, Students from urban area, Students from private schools shown preference towards classroom situations. Without any difference, all the category of students prefers verbal situations as the least effective situations of situational approach of teaching learning process. These findings may be handy in making aware of teachers to use various situations to teach language in the classrooms.

The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of explosive strength and strength endurance based circuit training on speed performance. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty boys’ student in the age group 13 to 14 were selected as subjects at random. The selected subjects were from RCM High School, Natarajapuram, Sivagangai(DT), Tamilnadu. The study was formulated as pre and post-test random group design, in which thirty students were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=10, ESbCT) underwent explosive strength based circuit training, the experimental group-2 (n=10, SEbCT) underwent strength endurance based circuit training and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG) did not undergo any specific training. In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variables, i.e., explosive strength based circuit training and strength endurance based circuit training. The speed was selected as dependent variables. The speed was tested by 50 meters run recoded in seconds. The selected two treatment group namely explosive strength based circuit training and strength endurance based circuit training were performed five days in week for the period of six weeks, as per the stipulated training programme. The speed performance was collected before and after the training period. The collected pre and post test data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of one way analysis of co variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study. The nature of speed highly improved in explosive strength based circuit training than the strength endurance based circuit training.

Organizational Culture is defined as the values and behaviors that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of the organization. Organizational culture includes an organizations expectations, experiences, philosophy and values that hold it together and is expressed in its self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world and future expectations. This article is going to study about the organizational culture.

In the present study, Cognitive performance scale has been developed and validated of the High School Students. This scale consists of 58 statements. The simple random sample technique was used for this study. The sample consists of 50 High School Students are randomly selected from the Kancheepuram Districts. The ‘t’ value was used to standardize the tool and finally 37 statements were retained for the final study.
