Immediate/on-line and Batch mode heuristics are two methods used for scheduling in the computational grid environment. In the former, task is mapped onto a resource as soon as it arrives at the scheduler, while the later, tasks are not mapped onto resource as they arrive, instead they are collected into a set that is examined for mapping at prescheduled times called mapping events. This paper reviews the literature concerning Minimum Execution Time (MET) along with Minimum Completion Time (MCT) algorithms of online mode heuristics and more emphasis on Min-Min along with Max-Min algorithms of batch mode heuristics, while focusing on the details of their basic concepts, approaches, techniques, and open problems.

Traditional marketing has been changed with a new approach to marketing called Experiential Marketing. Experiential marketing is also known as "engagement marketing," "event marketing", "participation marketing," or "live marketing". Traditional marketing views consumers as rational decision-makers who care about functional features and benefits. In contrast, experiential marketers view consumers as rational and emotional human beings who are concerned with achieving pleasurable experiences. It is a kind of is a marketing strategy that involves customers directly and inspires them to participate in the development of a brand. This transformation is showing no transformation of slowing down; more and more marketers are moving towards creating experiences for their customers. Therefore experience is an essential element of a today’s customer. Experiential Marketing plays an important role in influencing customer behavior and creates a feeling of satisfaction and loyal base .Thus it’s a very important concept to study. The research article studies various benefits and strategic issues of experiential marketing, also suggestion are drawn therefrom.

SOAP/WSDL and REST are two architectural styles to build web services. SOAP/WSDL follows operation centric and REST follows resource centric approach. SOAP/WSDL has standard registry where producer can register service specification and consumer can discover service endpoint using UDDI. Recently RESTful web service gained momentum in development of distributed application and research community already started discussion about RESTful based Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) but there is no standard central repository exist where producer can register and consumer can search RESTful service based on Quality of Services or based on their specification. In this research paper, we proposed framework: XML based RESTRegistry – central repository with Quality of Service through which producer can easily register services and consumer can search it easily. We also developed Travel Schedule benchmark application to test proposed framework in real world.

The paper reviewed the nature of financial relations among the three tiers of government in Nigeria. It was identified that revenue allocation in every federation is a problem; as such each federation adopts its own strategies to contain the imbalance. It was discovered that several attempts were made, yet the problem still persists. This is because most federating units depend largely on the federal Account. Among the recommendations were review of the relevant sectoring of the constitution and creation of units of government should be based on viability rather than political consideration.

In this paper, we have investigated the relationship between trade openness and long-run economic growth over the sample period 1960–2015, utilizing ARDL model. We found evidence that trade openness is directly correlated with economic growth in the long run. Furthermore, Granger Causality tests recommended that a change in trade openness impacts the long-run of economic growth through the interaction with gross capital formation in the case of China.

Marine spatial planning (MSP) is considered as one of the most appropriate ways to create and manage marine protected areas (MPAs) around the world. However, conservation constraints and the increase in competition for limited space and resources can generate land use conflicts. The purpose of this study is to develop an approach based on fuzzy inference systems FIS in order to solve the problem of land use conflicts in the Marine Reserve Cerbère-Banyuls in France. The advantage of the proposed method is that expert scientific knowledge in coastal aquaculture activities and the GIS data can be incorporated into a geospatial model to create optimal maps for spatial distribution of activities in the MPAs. This method is applied to the reserve Cerbère-Banyuls and it demonstrated a good efficiency.

Education is universally recognized as an inviolable human right in the universal declaration of human rights. It is a chance for people to satisfy their innate desire to learn, and to prepare for future, and to enable them to make contributions to the future of the society. Therefore, bioethics education means education about, for and within democracy, based on full participation of the people within social, political and cultural affairs at all levels of government, concerning them as citizens. In the present era of high tech revolution, the great task of ethically based education is to reform the human mind. The way of life of human being may change during the 21st century. However bioethical issues impact upon all the people, the public should actively join the discussion. People have a right to reflect on their opinions in policy making; it could be argued that all have a duty to make responsible decision for the range of bioethical issues. Bioethics should be made a compulsory course with requisite attendance for the award of professional degrees. Studies have shown that making ethics an optional course in medical or professional colleges even school levels does not serve its purpose. Education and awareness are solutions to these bioethical issues. A structured curriculum is necessary for teaching of bioethics. Our decisions affect not only our individual life, but also our family, society, future generations and other living organisms. We all have a chance to study bioethics sometimes in our life.

Facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) is essential to forensic anthropologists for facial reconstruction- recreating a recognizable face from an unidentified skull and to plastic surgeons for treatment planning. Together with the age and sex of a person, the facial profile is related to facial soft tissue thickness, which is required for accurate facial reconstruction and recognition. Having such a facial profile in the national level is very important for a country since FSTT changes according to the geographical factors. In this paper we are presenting a review on literature associated with this topic describing the methods used for data collection, measuring FSTT and analyzing those values along with the method we are proposing to be followed in the research we are to conduct in the Sri Lankan context.

Motivation / Background: A broad and common understanding of the nature of Personal Factors is deemed to be necessary to gain and assess a comprehensive perspective regarding an individual’s health condition and accurately allocate social and medical benefits and interventions. Personal Factors have an impact on the functioning of individuals as facilitators or barriers. They play an essential role in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). To date, the World Health Organisation has not classified Personal Factors for global use. Method: A consensus group representing a broad spectrum of medical and social security professionals, research societies together with representatives of self-help organisations developed and published a proposal to classify relevant Personal Factors. Results: To face ongoing discussions misunderstandings are addressed, critics and suggestions balanced and positions created with pointed explanations and supplemented literature. Core messages summarise each position in a condensed form. Conclusions: Personal Factors may exert a powerful influence on the goal definition, goal achievement and type, complexity and length of necessary medical, social or rehabilitation benefits. Transparency, explicitness, fairness (standardisation) and the possibility for wellfounded claims comprise additional arguments for reporting Personal Factors. They may be crucial to reach the goal of the highest degree of participation considering individual resources.

The present study investigated performance anxiety and sleep problems as predictors of academic achievement among a convenience sample of 100 university students (Male = 43, Female = 57). Method: The participants, aged 18 to 25 years, were selected from three different departments of University of Gujrat. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (Hamilton, 1959) and Pre Sleep Arousal Scale (Nicassio, Mendlowitz, Fussell, & Petras, 1989) were individually administered to the participants in their respective departments. Academic achievement was measured in terms of GPA of previous semester of each respondent. Results: The Cronbach Alphas for both the scales for the present sample fell in acceptable range (α = 0 .84 - 0.87). Linear regression analyses indicated that performance anxiety significantly predicted (p <.01, p<.001) of low academic achievement among university students. It was also identified that the higher level of performance anxiety was also a strong predictor (p < .0.001) of sleep problems among students. Conclusions: Discussion includes implications for future research and practices with reference to Pakistani culture.

The disintegration of Soviet Union had positively impacted Indo-US relations in post Cold-War era. The post Cold-War strategic scenario provided a chance to both countries to redefine their bilateral priorities. The US was always keen to improve bilateral relationship with India and therefore India initiated Defence cooperation with the US in changing strategic environment. India’s nuclear explosion [1998] had posed some divergences in Indo-US relationship. India and the US signed strategic partnership in 2000 and therefore the US set-aside its sanctions against India. India signed ‘Next Steps in Strategic Partnership’ [NSSP] with the US in 2004 and both countries started strategic dialogue in 2009. Both the nations signed a ‘New Framework for Defence Relationship’ in 2005 and ‘123 Civil Nuclear Agreement’ in 2008. India has always supported US’s ‘pivot-aria’ policy and played a meaningful role in counter China strategy. India and the US renewed their ‘New Framework for Defence Relationship’ in 2015 and signed ‘Logistic Support Agreement’ in 2016. Indo-US strategic relations were touched new heights when the Obama administration had declared India as a major Defence partner in 2016. The new US President Trump also showed its softness towards India and called Indian Prime Minister Modi as a ‘True Friend of US’. The decline of US-Pakistan strategic relations has positively affected Indo-US relations. The Pakistan factor has always affected Indo-US relations. The US administration considers that India would play a meaningful role in counter China planning. The study explores the raison d’être of Indo-US strategic partnership. The present paper intends to look into the Indo-US strategic cooperation and points out the improvement in Indo-US strategic relations in 21st century.

The present study is an attempt to investigate content analysis of diagrammatic representations in upper primary science textbooks based on diagrammatic typology. The study analyzed the distribution of diagrams in different upper primary science book categories. The sample selected consists of a total number of nine 7th grade physics, chemistry and biology textbooks adopted in three Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (I.C.S.E) schools in the Allahabad, India. Content analysis in this research entails a systematic coding and categorizing of the diagrams, drawings, photos, charts and graphs appeared in upper primary school science textbooks. A great amount of diagrams have been used in the upper primary level of science teaching. On average, there are about 1.20 diagrams in physics, 0.80 diagrams in chemistry & 1.06 diagrams in biology textbooks used per page for the purposes of explaining, presenting or evaluating the scientific domain. The results confirmed that upper primary level of science education demands large quantity of diagrams to facilitate students learning. So content analysis of diagrammatic representations of science textbooks is recommended and teachers should adopt such diagrammatic strategies which increase the level of knowledge of learners. Teachers should teach students through different diagrammatic representations skills and to enhance their academic performance.

This paper presents a new Hybridized Algorithm (HA) for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem. Inspired by Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) & the Bat Algorithm (BA), the HA was designed to retain some advantages of each method to improve the exploration and exploitation of the search. Scrutinizing PSO and BA reveals some differences, in that BA rejects the historical experience of each individual’s own position but admits an improved personal solution with some probability. We will adjust some of the updating mechanisms of BA and add a mutation method in order to try to solve reactive power problem more accurately. Proposed (HA) algorithm has been tested on standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulation results shows clearly about the good performance of the proposed algorithm.

For more than two decades, we have believed that coffee and cocoa plantations were considered as the best places for children labour in rural work. However, the schools which are supposed to educate them have become places where children labour is manifested through school cooperatives. In fact, the older children whose ages range from 10 to 15 are employed on the cashew and cotton plantations on behalf of these cooperatives which must teach them the spirit of cooperation and associative life. School cooperatives in Sinematialy (northern Côte d’Ivoire) are the examples. Thus, the present study aims to understand the social logics underlying the attitude of the various actors involved in this phenomenon of child labour through school cooperatives, in spite of the national context of fight against child labour. On the methodological level, the study is based on a qualitative approach including interviews with the different categories of actors involved.

In this paper, Enhanced Gravitational Search (EGS) algorithm is proposed to solve the reactive power problem. Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) results are improved by using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). In GSA, solutions are fascinated towards each other by applying gravitational forces, which depending on the masses assigned to the solutions, to each other. The heaviest mass will move slower than other masses and pull others. Due to nature of gravitation, GSA may pass global minimum if some solutions stuck to local minimum. ABC updates the positions of the best solutions that have obtained from GSA, preventing the GSA from sticking to the local minimum by its strong penetrating capability. The proposed algorithm improves the performance of GSA in greater level. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed EGS algorithm, it has been tested on IEEE 57,118 bus systems and compared to other standard algorithms.

The banking scenario in India is of a highly developed nature, even though it is still far from achieving world standards in terms of size, products and services. Indian banks have realized that along with organic growth there is a need to grow inorganically as well, in order to be competitive with other players in the market. In this scenario, banking has been the focus of attention for the banking industry. Gronross, a service marketing expert, proposed that a service firm, in order to simultaneously attain success, must develop its service quality. Firstly, it must define how the consumers perceive service quality and secondly, determine in what way service quality is influenced. Consumers all over the world have become more quality conscious; hence there has been an increased customer demand for higher quality service. Service operations worldwide are affected by this new wave of quality awareness and emphasis. Therefore servicebased companies like the banks are compelled to provide excellent services to their customers in order to have sustainable competitive advantage, especially in the current trend. This study identifies quality dimensions significant to enable the banks to develop the strategies improving the quality of service delivery. It is found through the present study that the public sector banks in Karur district are losing market share to private and foreign banks. To survive in this competitive scenario all public sector banks are forced to introduce innovative services, schemes in order to retain existing customers and attract new customers.
