Polycrystalline cadmium telluride oxide (CdTeO3) thin films have been achieved by Chemical synthesis process and annealed at 3000C in air. XRD of films shows the peaks corresponding to single phase face centered cubic polycrystalline CdTeO3. The compressive strain energy of the film is 0.02569J calculated by angle of contact. Optical absorption study revealed that CdTeO3 is a direct band gap of 2.3eV for the film annealed at 3000C and it is effect of oxygen concentration of the deposited material. The resistivity of the films was decreases with increase the temperature.

In the presented work, age and gender of a person from finger print impression has been worked out. The novelty in the solution lies in the fact that the identification of age and sex is independent from the pressure i.e. finger prints thickness or ridge/valley thickness. The age and gender finger prints are classified on the basis of ridge to valley area, entropy and rms value of dct coefficients. The classification is described in the result section

The corrosion inhibitive action of flower extracts of Magnolia champaca flower on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was studied using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization and EIS measurements. The results obtained indicate that the extracts functioned as good inhibitors in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with extract concentration. The adsorption of constituents in the plant extract on the surface of the metal is proposed for the inhibition behavior.

In Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) all the nodes are mobile in nature having limited battery capacity that is called energy. Due to the dynamic behavior of network link are not maintained for long time. All nodes in network are energy dependent and efficient energy utilization is one of the important issue in MANET. The location based DREAM (Distance routing Effect Algorithm for Mobility) protocol are maintained the location of each node on the basis of respective sender and receiver. This paper proposed a new location based energy efficient scheme with AODV (DREAM-EAODV) protocol. In this scheme energy dependent nodes are do routing with AODV protocol on the basis of location based protocol DREAM. Nodes in network are not intimated about their energy status, for that remove the suddenly link breakage. If the nodes in network are know about the energy status and also about the status of location of receiver that reduces the energy consumption. If the node ia apart of communication then in that case no link is break but if not then break. The main aim of proposed scheme is to enhance the energy utilization in network. Simulation has done by using ns-2 simulator and reduces energy consumption. The performance is measure on the basis of performance parameter like Normal Routing Load, Packet Delivery Ratio.

Polytechnics, colleges of technologies, technical training institutes, nursing colleges, research laboratories centre of excellence, distance learning centre, including universities are major providers of vocational education and training (VET) in Nigeria. They form a network of institution that supports the production of higher -order capacity necessary for the development of our nation – Nigeria. This paper addresses the complex set of factors which should be considered when assessing the role and performance of vocational education and training institutions (VET) in Nigeria. It looks at the economic, social and political context and examines the major trend of insignificance for VET planning.

Jet engines are required to operate at a higher rpm for the same thrust values in cases such as aircraft landing and military loitering. High rpm reflects higher efficiency with increased pressure ratio. This work is focused on performance charactristics of turbojet with reduced inlet pressure to the compressor engine. A real-time turbojet engine integrating aerothermodynamics of engine components, was developed, together with principles of jet propulsion and inter component volume dynamics represented in 1-D non-linear equations. Specific fuel consumption, specific thrust, component pressure ratios, thermal and propulsive efficiencies are the performance parameters of the engine that were analyzed on the model with reduced inlet pressure for the real-time test cases of desired thrust range. A flow control mechanism that produces a pressure drop across inlet was assumed and the analyses are carried out with reduced compressor inlet pressure for matching thrust. The result of my findings shows that with increase in shaft rpm, pressure and temperature ratio values across the compressor-turbine assembly increases. Performance parameters of the engine are analyzed with the increase in compressor pressure ratio and shaft rpm.

A new Schiff Base ligand [(SBDTC)2AP] has been synthesized by the 1:2 condensation of Acetophenone and S-benzyldithiocarbazate. A group of selected ions such as Cu(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of [(SBDTC)2AP] have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic studies and various physico-chemical techniques included melting point determination, IR spectra and Uv-Vis spectra. Melting point of Schiff base is basically lower than metal complexes because of intra-molecular interaction. The FTIR spectrum for Schiff base ligand shows stretching vibration of the important functional group ;v(N-H) in range ~3179 cm-1,v(C=S) in range ~1103cm-1,v(N-N-C) in range ~1344cm-1,v(C=N) in range ~ 1599 cm-1 and lastly v(C-S-S) in range of 1027 cm-1.As for the metal complexes of Schiff base, they posses in thiol form in solid state because of the v(N-H) and v(C=S) stretching disappearance near 3179 cm-1 and 1103 cm-1 respectively. The coordination of the azomethine nitrogen and sulfur donors atom to the metal is indicate by the shift on the v(C=N) band at 1599 cm-1 and in the v(C-S-S) band at 921 cm-1 .Finally the complexes have been evaluated for their biological activities against the selected bacteria. The Schiff Base exhibits moderate activities against Staphylococcus aurieus, S.Typhy M.H. and Aeromonas sp. All metal complexes were inactive against S.Typhy M.H.

The paper presents different aspects of issues surrounding Women affairs in rural Communities in Nigeria. We investigated the role being played by rural women in an agricultural setting. Women were found to be providers of large proportion of labour in rural agricultural communities, from subsistence to commercial farming. We also found that one of the main causes of this phenomenon is the rural-urban migration of men in search of paid employment in towns and cities, either in their own country or abroad. As men leave their rural homes, the role of women in agricultural production becomes increasingly dominant. Our investigation revealed that Rural women produce as much as 80% of the food we eat. The Nigerian rural women are the chief source of agricultural labour, yet are also the central victims of hunger, malnutrition, poverty, high fertility and maternal mortality rates. The result is progressive reduction in productivity and output. There is therefore urgent need to increase women empowerment in Nigeria, for higher productivity.
