The geodynamic model of deep structure for Sakhalin Island is constructed where in 1995 there was a Neftegorsk catastrophic earthquake. It represents the depth section crossing the North Sakhalin sedimentary basin, Deryugin Basin and ophyolite complex between them. The ancient subduction zone under Sakhalin is established. The ophiolite complex combined by the ultrabasic rocks, fixes position of ancient subduction zone acting in Upper Cretaceous- Paleogene. On a surface the subduction zone manifests itself as deep faults running along Sakhalin. The Neftegorsk earthquake was caused by activity of this ancient subduction zone. The position of ancient subduction zone under Sakhalin is a cause of strong earthquakes here. Therefore this region is one of seismic dangerous in Russia.

An experiment to mitigate the effects of drought on maize growth and yield of autumn\nmaize was conducted at Postgraduate Agricultural Research Station, Faisalabad. Before\nsowing of crop analysis of soil was carried out. The field capacity was determined using\ngravimetric techniques. Two maize hybrids 32-F-10 (drought tolerant) and YH-1898\n(drought sensitive) were sown on August 5, 2010 and on August 7, 2011. The five\ndrought treatments were imposed (no drought, at five leaf, at ten leaf stage, at anthesis\nand at grain filling stage) on various growth stages with out and with 100 mg/kg of soil\npotassium treatments. All the growth and yield parameters were taken using standard\nprocedures and methods. After analysis of data it was found that water stress level\ndirectly reduced growth and yield parameters like plant height, leaf length, leaf area\nindex, shoot fresh weight per plant, cob length, cob diameter, number of grains rows per\ncob, number of grains per cob, grains weight per cob and grain yield declined in 2010 and\n2011due to drought stress while 1000 grains weight were declined only in 2010 and\nbiological yield was declined only in 2011. The application of potassium had promoting\neffects on all the attributes except for 1000 grains weight and biological yield which were\nnon-significant in 2011 and 2010 respectively. It is clarified that potassium has improved\nthe growth and yield performance under drought stress.\nKey Words: Potassium, drought, growth, yield and spring maize.

This paper deals with the transmission of real time video over wireless heterogeneous devices with improved QOS. Scalable video coding (SVC) combined with adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), provides an excellent solution to the problem in wireless multicast video streaming. SVC divides a video stream into multiple sub-streams, called layers. An SVC stream has one base layer and one or multiple enhancement layers. A key issue to apply SVC to wireless multicast streaming is to choose appropriate MCS for each video layer and to determine the optimal resource allocation among multiple video sessions. This problem is formulated as total utility maximization, subject to the constraint of available radio resources. In this paper a non-dominant genetic algorithm (NSGA) is proposed to maximize the video streaming utility. NSGA algorithm is an extension of the basic form of GA for multiple objective function optimizations. Here NSGA is used to maximize the PSNR and Throughput. This algorithm offers significant improvement on the video quality over a conventional algorithm. Thus it provides good video quality to users in good channel conditions while maintaining basic video quality for users in bad channel conditions.

Vehicles traveling within cities and along highways are regarded as most probable candidates for a complete integration into mobile networks of the next generation. Vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle communication could indeed foster a number of new applications of notable interest and critical importance, ranging from danger warning to traffic congestion avoidance. It is, however, easy to foresee that the availability of on board communication capabilities will also determine a significant increase in the number of mobile users regularly employing business and infotainment applications during their displacements. As a matter of fact, equipping vehicles with WiMAX/LTE and/or Wi-Fi capabilities would represent a clear invitation for passengers on cars or buses to behave exactly as home-based network users. This project focuses on one of the latter tasks, namely the download of large-sized files from the Internet. Cooperative Downloads identifies two main problems: The selection of the carrier(s): contacts between cars in urban/suburban environments are not easily predictable. The scheduling of the data chunks: plays a major role in reducing the probability that destination vehicles never receive portions of their files. This project identified and proposed solutions to the problems of carrier’s selection and chunk scheduling, and extensively evaluated them. The main contribution of this work lies in the demonstration that vehicular cooperative download in urban environments can bring significant download rate improvements to users travelling on trafficked roads in particular.

Abstract\nCharnockitic rock is one of the varieties of crystalline rocks that dot the face of the earth. Its reputation for aesthetics tends to impact a high economic value on it. This warrants more understanding of its petrographical, physical and mechanical properties. Its field and petrographic relationship in Akure area has been reported but the physico-mechanical characteristics have not enjoyed discuss and reportage. Its petro-physico-mechanical characteristics were therefore studied so as to improve on the knowledge and understanding of the rock type in general and that of Akure area in particular. The petrography of the photomicrographs of the thin sections were analysed with the aid of ImageJ. Instron Universal Tester was used to determine the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) while Schmidt Rebound Hammer and Roclab software were used for the estimations of the UCS for validity, reliability and reproducibility of results. The abrasion tester was used to determine the abrasion resistance (Ha) while the aggregate impact value (AIV) apparatus was used for the aggregate impact value. The results showed that mineralogically, the rock consisted of the following as major mineral: plagioclase, biotite, quartz, hypersthene, hornblende, muscovite and orthoclase with the following respectively as modal composition: 32%, 16%, 16%, 16%, 11%, 4% and 3% while opaque minerals and zircon with 1% each are accessories. A value of 2.81g/cc was determined as the density while the porosity, AIV and Ha were respectively 0.03, 11 and 33.40. The Young’s Modulus was evaluated to be 10.40KN/mm. The values of UCS from Instron Universal Tester, Rebound Hammer and Roclab were respectively 86MPa, 82MPa and 165MPa. Conclusively, the results of the petro-physico-mechanical tests on the rock samples corroborated one another with an indication of high physical and mechanical strength although the UCS was discovered to have been lowered by the observed microstructural characteristics.

The purpose of writing the current paper is to survey the influence of human capital management on human resources productivity in Hashtgerd municipality. The paper is descriptive from data collecting view and applicable from goal view. For data gathering, a questionnaire includes two parts about human capital and human resource productivity was applied. The questionnaire contains 46 questions by likert 5scale and 15 quuestions by Chen 7scale. The results of applying Spearman and Friedman tests show that human capital and its dimensions –include competency, attitude and creativity- affect human resource productivity meaningfully. Also all dimensions were placed in favorable places. No relationship was found between employees’ demographic characteristics and their productivity. Finally by applying fuzzy TOPSIS technique, human capital indices were ranked in which employees’ job satisfaction, employees’ ability to participate in decision making and identity acquisition from organizational values were selected as the most important one.

In order to increase the availability of products based on whole grain flour and to develop innovative food, 100% extraction rate sorghum (S) and millet (M) flours were obtained. Their functional properties were evaluated through alkaline water retention index, solvent retention capacity profile, farinographic and rapid visco-analyzer tests in comparing with wheat whole grain flour ones. Results indicated that sorghum whole grain flour (S) does not have good bakery aptitudes, but its use in formulations with millet whole grain flour, cornstarch (A) and modified corn starch (Am) allows improving its technological quality. Four different formulations were prepared. Formulation F4: 32.6% M, 32.6% S, 32.6% A, 2% Am was adequate for the innovative design of crispy sweet cookies with high nutritional value, which are source of fiber and suitable for celiac people. Another advantage is that it is made from cereals that do not require excellent climatic conditions for growth.

ABSTRACT\nThis study takes a critical discourse analysis approach to investigate the linguistic representation of male and female social actors and construction of gender identities in the texts of Summit Series. The analytical models used are van Leeuwen\'s framework and Halliday\'s transitivity model. The analysis of texts is organized through the qualitative and to some extent quantitative procedures. To investigate the data,achi-square test is run to determine the distribution levels of these linguistic variables in the representation of social actor .Intra and inter-raters reliability estimate to verify the researcher’s findings. The findings of this study indicated a differential representation of social actors in that males were portrayed as more prominent, successful, active, independent, expressive and assertive in comparison with females. Although a surface view reflects that female actors as active one , the underlying ideologies uncovered through the application of CDA proved to be different.

In open-pit mines, in which explosives are extensively used in order to move and displace rocks, a significant issue is explosive selection regarding to all aspects. In surface mines ANFO as well as Emulsion explosives are prevalent to gain such targets. Among the all types of Emulsion explosives, Emulan 50/50 has similar characteristics to ANFO. In spite of the fact that both kinds of explosives are widely used, there are minor differences in their parameters such as fragmentation quality, explosive properties, cost of utilization and ease of run. As a result, sometimes deciding on using appropriate explosive would become an issue. In this article there is an attempt to select explosive with concentrating on multi-criteria decision and ranking criteria and using Fuzzy-Delphi AHP method regarding to all effective parameters and their properties, as well. The consequences have demonstrated the fact that Emulan 50/50 is relatively superior to ANFO.
