This study investigated the effects of guided inquiry instructional and Cooperative instructional strategies on SS1 students' academic achievement in conceptual understanding of Photosynthesis in Port Harcourt Education Zone of Rivers State, Nigeria. 186 students used for the study were obtained by purposive sampling based on the availability of science laboratory and biology teacher with not less than five years teaching experience. One class of Senior Secondary One (SS1) students from three Co-educational Senior Secondary Schools was randomly assigned to experiment and control groups. The instrument titled for Biology Achievement Test on Photosynthesis (BATOP) was developed, validated and used for data collection. The research questions were answered with Mean and Standard Deviation; while the hypotheses were tested with ANOVA and ANCOVA.........

The concept of the new managed Eco-Physical hydrogen Energetics of Photons (EFhEF – energetics) is introduced. The new set of available data became the basis for classification of energy: "the energetics of molecules (chemical), atoms (physical), and nuclei (quantum). The EFhEF – energetics can be used together with chemical and thermonuclear energetics on the Earth and jointly with thermonuclear energetics outside the Earth. The physical energetics has been introduced as the result of the theoretical and experimental researches of active processes in solar plasma. The problem of Sun's flare activity has been solved. In the first time, in the Nature, the current sheets have been discovered, which in able of to transform the magnetic energy into energy of plasma.For the first time, the EFhEF energetics provided any installation by its own source of energy. The energy is released as photons of continuous radiation..................

The study of digital culture is a multi-disciplinary field that spans many different ethodologies, frameworks and philosophies that explore the relationship between culture and technology. The following is a discourse in digital culture research using the philosophy of scientific revolution (Thomas S. Kuhn) as a key source for understanding the current state of the emerging field. Information Revolution, Scientific Revolution Electronic technology that developed out of the 20th century enabled the cultural prevalence of mass media, in the form of cinema and television and later digital media which provides cultural researchers and philosophers complex new frontiers to explore. Marshall McLuhan in The Gutenberg Galaxy1 and Martin Heidegger in The Question Concerning Technology discuss the idea of media and technology as an extension of mankind that creates new capacity and influence, both intended and unintended, and have sought to understand them in a cultural as well as philosophical context..................

Digital watermarking has been proposed as a viable clarification to the necessity of copyright protection and authentication of multimedia system information in a networked environment, since it makes possible to identify the author, owner, distributor or approved client of a document. This paper elaborates quality of discrete cosine transform for image watermarking, DCT based image watermarking technique, classification and analysis of discrete cosine transform primarily based watermarking techniques. Discrete cosine transform and wavelet based mostly image watermarking ways that. It'll be useful for researchers to implement effective image watermarking methodology .the propose algorithmic program to supply information privacy and additional authentication. Watermark embedding into host image. Propose algorithmic program also have good performance in hardiness, reliable and computing complexity.

The volcanic rock lithology and lithofacies identification is an important basis for the work of logging evaluation of volcanic rocks on the rock physics experiment as the foundation, which make full use of the various logging series summarized on the basis of different logging curves of different lithology variation to establish a set of mature volcanic rock identification method. Lithologic identification of volcanic rocks in the block of the long deep 1 block mainly adopts two methods, One is to take the core of the volcanic rock, mainly to take the core observation description, thin section identification and chemical composition analysis of volcanic lithology identification and classification; Two is to take the heart of the volcanic rock, first known core logging calibration and then use ECS, FMI imaging and nuclear magnetic and other advanced logging technology for volcanic lithology identification and classification.

The single crystal of L- Lucinedoped NickelSulphateHexa Hydrate (NSH) was grown from slow evaporation technique for different molar concentrations, viz., (0.2 to 1 mole% in steps of 0.2). The crystallinty, cell parameter and cell volume of the grown single crystals was estimated by powder X-ray diffraction studies. The mechanical power of the crystals wasstudied by Vicker's micro hardness testing. The electrical study was carried out for both pure and doped NSH crystals.
