Dilatometric study to estimate thermo dynamical parameters of two CBOnO.m liquid crystalline compounds

The specially designed pykanometre and dilatometer is used to measure the temperature variation of density of two liquid crystalline CBOnO.m compounds namely

1. α-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4 heptyloxy)-ω-4-n-alkylanilinebenzylidene-4oxy)decane (C1)
2. α-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4 decyloxy)-ω-4-n-alkylanilinebenzylidene-4oxy)decane (C2)

Synthesis of dispersed nano zero valente iron with different stabilizers using K-Mreactor

This study, Nano Zero Valente Iron (NZVI) was produced with different stabilizers (Sodiumcarboxymethylcellulose, CMC, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP, Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB using kinetic energy micro reactor (K-M reactor). There action between Ferric chloride (FeCl3.6H2O) with different stabilizers and Sodium borohydriede (NaBH4) as reducing agent at K-M reactor gives many advantages in comparison with traditional chemical method for production of dispersed Nano ironin batch reactor.

A study about open micro course resourcesplatform design

Micro course is a kind of new learning resources in recent years, and it has the characteristics of focus, practical and fast food. These characteristics meet the current fast pace of life, people just want to in the limited time learn useful knowledge for their needs. This study interprets the meaning of the class, analyzes the micro course resources platform features and functional requirements. And on this basis, the thesis focus on open platform design for micro course resource for three aspects: overall planning, function structure and application process.

Strategies for strengthening South Korea's position in mongolian mining sector

Despite its challenges and volatilities due to number of internal and external factors, Mongolian mining industry remains to be the most important driver for its economic development. Mineral products consistently comprise over 80% of Mongolia's total exports and efforts are being made to switch the raw commodity based exports to more value-added products and the role of foreign investments in the forms of capital, technology and expertise are crucial for this process.

Loose-fit polypseudorotaxanes constructed from γ-CDS and PHEMA-PPG-PEG-PPG-PHEMA

A pentablock copolymer was prepared via the atom transfer radical polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) initi-ated by 2-bromoisobutyryl end-capped PPO-PEO-PPO as a macroinitiator in DMF. Attaching PHEMA blocks altered the self-assembly process of the pentablock copolymer with γ-CDs in aqueous solution. Before attaching the PHEMA, the macroinitiator was preferentially bent to pass through the inner cavity of γ-CDs to give rise to tight-fit double-chain stranded polypseudorotax-anes (PPRs).

Fighting rural poverty: understanding livelihood diversification strategies and patterns of women in northern region of Ghana

Rural poverty remains a challenge among developing countries including Ghana. Livelihood diversification has been employed as one of the strategies to mitigate the teething poverty in Northern Ghana. Although lauded as a potential source of poverty eradication, limited studies have been conducted to understand the livelihood diversification strategies of poor and vulnerable women in Northern Ghana. This present paper identified and discussed the livelihood diversification strategies of women in Northern Ghana.

Kyrgyz social security system in terms of international standards

This paper highlights some aspects of Kyrgyz social security system in terms of international donor organizations’ policy. First it was analyzed how various international guidelines on national social security are compatible. Then the selected international recommendations were reviewed in detail for defining its applicability to the national social insurance system and adequacy to social security law.

Special needs education - awareness and perspectives in the community and schools

‘Special needs education (SNE) is highly crucial for all those children and adults with disabilities. In this article, we aim to research the awareness levels of SNE in various schools and communities in the city of Hyderabad, India. A qualitative approach was taken for this purpose. Our research also includes a case study of a special needs child along with his family and academic background, in order to know the degree of awareness among parents.

The impact of micro savings mobilization and loan deployment on community livelihood in northern Uganda

Various microfinance institutions have sprouted at the community levels and continue to operate in the Acholi sub-region during the insurgency and in the aftermath.  Their roles have been to carry out financial intermediation functions of mobilizing savings and deployment of loans. A number of studies have been carried out on the contributions of MFIs on community livelihood with mixed results. Some studies upheld that microfinance interventions have achieved significant improvements in terms of increased business incomes and improved livelihood means.
