A large amount of body fat is stored in the form of triglyceride within adipose tissue as well as within muscle fibers. These stores must be mobilized into free fatty acids (FFA) and transported to muscle mitochondria for oxidation during exercise. Fatty acids from adipose tissue are mobilized into plasma and carried by albumin to muscle for oxidation. As exercise intensity increases from low (25% VO2max) to moderate (65% VO2max) to high (85% VO2max), plasma FFA mobilization declines.

We are responsible only when we appreciate everything that is ethical and denounce all that is not ethical around us.

“Echo” criticism is an eco-critical study; an endeavour to trace the echoes of ecology/eco-consciousness in the popular myths of Babylonian, Greek, Egyptian and Indian myths. The object is to show how the aforementioned pagan civilizations comprised essentially of deeply eco-conscious people who associated nature conservation with religions and gods to instil fear in the community, guided by the conception that scare-tactics would keep humans in check rather than gentle persuasion. It also hints at how the words of the prescient ancients are discarded by the modern mechanical man as myths.

In the male-dominated Indian society, women suffered to extreme levels of exploitation. Some factors – like death of bread winner, sudden fall in family income or inadequate family income – forced women to seek employment in informal sector (small trader, artisan or field laborer on a family farm) but yet, that did not result in women empowerment.

As teacher educators, we often believe that our classes are changing the way students think and act regarding important social issues. While films may increase students’ knowledge on a subject, we may be incorrectly assuming that their attitudes and actions are changing as well. While some researchers have found evidence of changes in attitude and actions after viewing a film we challenge that there are probably many factors that need to be examined before assuming that this will generally occur in a classroom setting.

Information spotting in scanned document images is a very challenging task. Character recognition has been studied from the past several decades and is still a demanding research topic in the field of pattern recognition and image processing, however their performance will be significantly impaired when the image of the character is partially blocked or smudged. Such missing information does not hinder the human perception because we predict the missing part based on the word level and sentence level context of the character.

Abacus is an external agent extensively practiced to teach learn mathematics for children. Studies have shown that abacus not only increases the ability of children in performing mathematics calculation, but also develops memory consistently (Bhaskaran , Sengothiyan , Madhu, Ranganahtan 2006). With the help of abacus simple arithmetical functions are easy to learn especially multiplication which may seem easier to an adult to perform but are very difficult for the juvenile to understand (www.abacuslessons.com).

The present study differs from general Corporate Failure studies surmising that organizations fail, due their inability to repay their debt and interest obligations, i.e. lack of sufficient cash flows from operating activities. Empirical studies are based on Balance Sheet data which is historical in nature, reflecting the position that has already occurred. These reflect the “effect”, not the “cause”. In fact, managerial actions can precipitate/ obviate corporate failure. A corporate can falter, or ultimately fail, due to Internal and/or External reasons. Internal causes arise due to disorder in the corporate's various areas like production, planning, marketing, finance and personnel. These can be controlled provided the corporate management is efficient and effective.

Being a principal musical instrument in the repertoire of Hindustani Classical Music good table players are hard to find. Hence if a system for table is developed, the author (himself an amateur table player) argues a lot of musical accompaniment will be facilitated).

The above statistics simply leave us dumbfounded, shocked and reveal the inner truths about the state of affairs regarding the attention paid to female reproductive health. Strident discrimination is pervasive for a woman in all walks of life. Gender stereotypes that are prevalent since birth extend into childhood, adulthood, during the pre and post martial phase of a woman's life. Strong favoritism for male children is reflected in the form of biased and rigid attitudes with regard to a girl's education, training, her overall grooming and socialization.

Biomass torrefaction is a pre-treatment method carried out at 200-300°C in controlled atmospheric conditions. The occurring decomposition reactions at this temperature level cause the biomass to become completely dried and to loose its tenacious and fibrous structure. Therewith the grindability of the subjected biomass is improved significantly. In addition, torrefaction increases the calorific value and the biomass, its hygroscopic nature can be destructed to yield a hydrophobic material. Depending on the applied torrefaction conditions,

Native American Indians are usually only given a voice in intellectual dialogues when they are needed to validate non-Indian representations of Indians or when their own works reflect or enhance popular concepts of native people. Popular Native American writers and artists have brought some valid issues to light, but remain largely superficial and self-centred in their approach. Writings about the Native American experience should reflect the roots of Native American history, culture and society and both past and present struggles with white America. The role of Indians, themselves, in the storytelling of Indian America is as much a matter of "jurisdiction" as is anything else in Indian Country: economics, the law, control of resources, property rights. It goes without saying that it reflects their struggle with the colonial experience of connected histories.

Sign Language Recognition is one of the most growing fields of research today. Many new techniques have been developed recently in these fields. Here in this paper, we have proposed a system using Eigen value weighted Euclidean distance as a classification technique for recognition of various Sign Languages of India. The system comprises of four parts: Skin Filtering, Hand Cropping, Feature Extraction and Classification. 24 signs were considered in this paper, each having 10 samples, thus a total of 240 images was considered for which recognition rate obtained was 97%.

Statistics betrays that after Independence our growth rate has increased from 3% to 9 % .But, still we are facing problems like poverty, illiteracy, unemployment etc. Besides; a major chunk of population living in villages (72%) is still backward. Though the government is spending million of rupees in the name of rural development, but still it’s not getting the desired results. Among many reasons, one of the foremost reason is the communication gap between government devised policies and common masses as people largely remain ignorant regarding them.
