Abstract: The relation between architecture and climate is a key factor influencing the origin and development of architecture. Climate and environment challenges the designers from many years, owners and the masons can always come over the building materials by local affordable materials, and can solve structural problems depending on the previous experiences and in some cases by inventions, the main problematic and challengeable exercise is to save energy and to safeguard the environment. This paper summarizes adaptive practice in vernacular Architecture with emphasis on constructing in the hot-summer and cold-winter zone. Secondly, the paper explores the exhibition of the wind condition in different city configurations and different types of architecture. The final part contains recommendation and suggesting for the future planning and designing.

Abstract: The present time has brought many avenues before human race, and a human being is almost baffled in making a choice. In the same tone, in the twenty-first century India the creative tension of Indian novelists in English leads those to accept a ‘glocalised’ situation where they get allured to the international charm but feel tortured by many a transcultural and commercial forces in the smooth sail of their vision. This juxtaposition results in creating an alternative sub-cultural landscape which gets cemented in a neo-Indianness which on the one hand claims certain association with the icons like Che Guevara, Pentagon, and Hollywood, and on the other keeps a root intact in re-making a ‘Malgudi’of their own. Many a times the literary aesthetics slips into a tone of social document. Literarture, in the contemporary times, is rather a product of market forces and socio-economic pushes. The present paper focuses on different issues and thematic perspectives in modern Indian novel writing in English

Abstract:: We describe a treatment for patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Current treatment is focused on prevention of adverse outcomes, rather than addressing the associated circulatory and sensory deficits common to peripheral neuropathy. We describe the use of near-IR light to address the patient’s sensory loss, pain and lowered function. A 62 year old Caucasian male diagnosed as Type II diabetic was treated in this study. Using the Semmes Weinstein Monfilament Test, the Visual Analog Pain Scale and the Foot Function Index, he was found to have decreased foot sensation, pain and decreased lower extremity function. He received near-IR at 12 J/cm2 per treatment location, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. The light treatment was administered using a hand held probe over the lumbosacral spinal roots paravertebrally and on six locations on each foot. Post testing showed marked improvement in all three areas measured. These improvements were clinically significant based on the established minimally clinically important difference values for each of the three measures. The results suggest that near-IR energy may be an effective intervention to decrease pain, improve function, and increase sensation in individuals suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Basic research suggests that near-IR may increase blood flow. This result is believed to be achieved as a result of the relationship near-IR has with nitric oxide. Additional research is needed to establish the efficacy and generalizability of this treatment for patient populations similar to the patient represented in this case report.

Writing is one of the most challenging language skills in second language learning. In fact, even for those who speak English as a first language, the ability to write requires long, intensive and specialized instruction. Errors in writing can affect not just the form but communication as well. Thus, through this condition, the researcher was challenged to pose this study to identify some language errors that are common in the composition of the English major students who take up Bachelor of Science in Education English and Bachelor of Arts in English enrolled in the 1st semester of academic year 2013-2014 of Father Saturnino Urios University, Butuan City. There were a total of 30 respondents who participated in the study and most of them were in their 3 rd and 4th years in their respective programs. The descriptive method was applied by the researcher. To ensure impartiality on the data presentation, interpretation and analysis, the researcher used statistical tools such as: frequency, and percentage. Further, this paper tries to examine and identify how these language errors affect the communication presented in their writings. More specifically, this paper tries to address the following problems: 1. What language errors are found common in the composition of the respondents? 2. How do these errors affect the meaning of the sentences? What could account for the occurrence of these features? 3. What language intervention program can be proposed to address the needs of the respondents? From the result, it was found out that most of the respondents committed misuse and omission of punctuation marks and pronoun-antecedent agreement which marked the highest percentage of errors the respondents had difficulty to deal with. This was followed by misuse and omission of verb and misspelling being the least committed error

The pathogenic feature including slime production and serum resistant contributes a significant role in virulence of Acinetobacters leading to a successive multi-drug resistant organism in the Clinical care. The present study is sought for isolation and identification of Slime producing, Multi drug resistant Acinetobacter sp in clinical samples. Out of the total 92 samples analyzed 39 (42.3%) were positive for Acinetobacter sp in which 23, 6 and 10 were identified as A.baumanni (59%), A.lwoffi (15.3%) and A.hemolyticus (25.6%) respectively. All the isolates were screened for multiple antibiotic resistant capabilities. The slime production were confirmed in 10 (43.4%), 5(83.3%) and 1(10%) of A.baumannii, A.lwoffi and A.hemolyticus. Similarly 19 (82.6%), 5(83.3) and 8 (80%) of A.baumannii, A.lwoffi and A.hemolyticus were resistant to normal human serum bactericidal activity. In conclusion our study claims that all the serum resistant strains were potential slime producers and expresses high MAR index which appears to be a strong correlation between these virulent factors that leads to high pathogenicity of Acinetobacter sp in the human environment.

Abstract: In the field of service computing, cloud computing provides a scalable services and promising delivery platform. Although the specific future of cloud computing is hard to pin, but it has a vital impact in the present world of Information Technology and digitalized business world. The more usable the cloud is the more efficient will be its task performance and making a cloud usable is Usability. The usability aspect is an essential criterion to design services in an interactive way to support the task performance efficiently, effectively and with least navigational time, which increases user satisfaction level. Usability experts have carried out various usability evaluation techniques and metrics (or user satisfaction metrics) which play a significant role in cloud computing environment. Thus usability aspect became essential for designing cloud services and more interactive to support the user at their work. This paper mainly addresses the various usability techniques and evaluation assessment and issues that may be considered while evaluating the usability of cloud services.

Samarium isotopes (Z=62) lie in the traditional rotational to transitional-spherical region that occurs at the range of deformed nuclei. Energy levels, Electromagnetic transitions B(E2), B(M1), mixing ratio  E2/ M1 and monopole transitions BE0 for the selected transitions in 152-154Sm are calculated in the frame work of collective models protonneutron Interacting boson model (IBM-2) and Dynamic deformation model (DDM). The results obtained for 152-154Sm are reasonably in good agreement with the known experimental results. The E0 quantities predicted by the two Models (IBM-2 and DDM) for 03 + states were on the whole in poor agreement with experiment. Furthermore, the microscopic characters of the ground states and the excited 0+ states in Sm152-154 would appear to be sufficiently complex to eliminate any description of them in terms of the simple model. We noticed that most of the experimental and calculated values for the X(E0/ E2) ratio are small, which means that there is a small contribution of E0 transition on the life time of the  0 states

In distributed databases, usually the cost of optimization increases while consulting the underlying data sources in the query optimization process. The query optimizer may handle the data sources and the optimization techniques adopted are required to be implemented to all relevant cost information with minimal communication. It is understood that query optimization issues depend upon relations i.e. cardinality, size of a tuple and fraction of tuples participating in a join with another relation. Also it is seen that the query optimization issues depend upon attribute comprising with cardinality of domain, actual number of distinct values and Common assumptions. The query optimization task involves with selecting the plans and sub plans, evaluating the size of plans and sub plans along with cost of plans and sub plans. In many cases the query execution cost is measured in conceptual units. But In a distributed database, the query execution costs must be divided into multiple dimensions. In this paper it is intended to discuss the approaches of query optimization and enumerate the query optimization techniques in distributed environment. As it has been seen that selecting the optimal execution strategy for a query is NP-hard in the number of relations, genetic algorithm may be applied in this case to evaluate plan select value, CPU time, cost of query plans and sub plans including I/O cost. The purpose of doing so is to measure the cost of data sets while dealing with large data sets in the distributed environment.

: Congenital anomalies of posterior arch of atlas are very uncommon and usually asymptomatic. The abnormalities at the cranio-vertebral junction are present in approximately 1% of newborn infants, but they may not produce symptoms until adult life. The following are examples of such congenital anomalies: basilar invagination, assimilation of atlas, atlantoaxial dislocation, Arnold-Chiari malformation, and separate dens of the axis. Assimilation of atlas is due to nonsegmentation at the junction of the atlas and occipital bone. During anthropometric study of 40 skulls in the Department of Anatomy, one skull was discovered, which exhibited assimilation of the atlas to the occipital bone. Knowledge of atlantooccipital fusion may be important for forensic experts, radiologists, anaesthesiologist, orthopaedic and neurosurgeons. Skeletal abnormalities at the craniocervical junction may result in sudden unexpected death. It can also result in dysphagia, dysarthria or torticollis because of compression of cranial nerves.
