The thermal conductivity of CuO-B2O3 glass system has been experimentally determined in the temperature range 302-423 K. The data covered the glass composition range from 10 to 35 mol% of CuO. It has been observed that the thermal conductivity increases linearly with temperature. Thermal conductivity is composition dependent. The results obtained confirmed that the major contribution to the thermal conductivity of this glass system is due to lattice vibrations. The value of density, molar volume, lattice thermal conductivity (L), melting temperature, electronic (e) and bipolar component of thermal conductivity (bp), band gap energy are also reported. The physical properties like density, molecular weight, molar volume, hopping distance, polaron radius and number of ions per cm3 have been reported.

Direct selling is a type of sales channel where products are marketed directly to customers, eliminating the need for middlemen – wholesalers, advertisers and retailers. Direct selling can be conducted one-on-one, in a group or party format, or online. Direct selling is a dynamic, vibrant, rapidly expanding channel of distribution for the marketing of products and services directly to consumers. The purpose of this paper is to describe direct selling and the benefits that it brings to the marketplace. There are presently over 60 national DSAs represented in its membership, and in 2011 it is estimated that worldwide retail sales by its members accounted for more than US$154 Billion through the activities of more than 91 million independent sales representatives. The World Federation and its national DSAs have always understood the necessity for ethical conduct in the marketplace and as such the WFDSA has developed a World Codes of Conduct for Direct Selling which all national DSAs have approved and implemented in their national codes. All direct selling companies agree to be bound by these codes as a condition of membership in a national DSA. What makes direct selling such an attractive career option is the flexibility it offers. Those who engage in direct selling are independent contractors who determine how much time and energy they want to invest in their businesses. They set their own hours, and define and control their work-family life balance. An Independent Sales Representative is her own boss. Direct selling is also a way to own a business with a minimal capital investment. Research shows some of the most popular reasons people choose direct selling are it is a good way to meet and socialize with people, it offers flexible work schedules, it is a good way to earn extra income, it is a good way to own a business and Earnings are in proportion to efforts. There are no required levels of education, experience, financial resources or physical condition. People of all ages and from all backgrounds have succeeded in direct selling. Direct sellers are independent contractors. You're your own boss, which means you can work part-time or full-time - you choose when and how much you want to work, set your own goals and determine yourself how to reach them, earn in proportion to your own efforts. The level of success you can achieve is limited only by your willingness to work hard, own a business of your own with very little or no capital investment and receive training and support from an established company. Thousands of people have lost a substantial amount of money by participating in pyramid schemes. Many of the victims knew they were gambling (although they didn't know the odds were rigged against them). Many others, however, thought they were paying for help in starting a small business of their own. These people were fooled by pyramid schemes disguised to look like legitimate businesses. The purpose of this paper is to help you avoid falling victim to pyramid schemes, whether simple or disguised. Simple pyramid schemes are similar to chain letters, while disguised pyramids are like wolves in sheep's clothing, hiding their true nature in order to fool potential investors and evade law enforcers. You can buy with confidence, when you purchase products from a direct selling company that is a member of your local DSA. Each DSA member company must adhere to a Code of Ethics, which protects you as a consumer. The information provided in this paper will help us understand our rights as a consumer. It will also answer some general questions we may have about the direct selling industry. It also contains Global Statistics on Sales Strategies, Product Categories and Sales Methods.

In, medicinal field paracetamol can be used in so many varieties of drugs which can be effective to various body system such as Central nervous system, Cardiovascular system, Musculo-skeletal system and Respiratory system. Polarographic Calibration method has been developed and applied for the determination of paracetamol present in some synthetic as well as medicinal samples using optimum concentration of fuchsin as maxima suppressor and different supporting electrolytes such as perchloric acid, Borate buffer, Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid. The method is strictly empirical, and no assumptions, except correspondence with the conditions of the calibration are made. The oxidation of paracetamol at rotating platinum electrode is irreversible. Results obtained with synthetic as well as medicinal samples are in good agreement with the quoted values. In borate buffered solutions of paracetamol, catalytic waves are obtained. In order to get most pronounced effect, direct comparison method is found to be suitable for determination of paracetamol. Best calibration polrograms are obtained using 0.99 M H2SO4 as a supporting electrolyte and 0.0125% fuchsin as maxima suppressor. Fairly accurate results with low values of standard deviations are obtained.

The collection and analysis of macrozoobenthos were done once in a month during two years i.e. February 2012 to January 2014. Total of 9 species of meiozoobenthos were observed in Kunghada Bandh lake and Chamorshi Lake belonging from phylum Rotifera and Arthropoda (cladocera, copepods, ostracods). It is concluded that both the Lakes are rich in diversity of meioozoobenthos. Kunghad Bandh lake is shows slightly more quantity of meiozoobenthos as compare to Chamorshi Lake, due to fair quality of water.

The rapid kinetics for the bromination and chlorination of pyridine by molecular halogens in aqueous medium at pH 7 using hydrodynamic voltammetry has been studied. The specific reaction rates at 295 K for the bromination and chlorination of pyridine are found to be respectively, 800 M -1s-1and 56 M -1s-1 implying the greater reactivity for bromination. The energy of activation, entropy change and the pre-exponential factor for both these reactions are evaluated from the studies carried out at different temperatures. These data establish the relative reactivities of the two halogens toward the heterocycle in quantitative terms.
