 Abstract

By means of a distinguished approach of credit granting, microcredit programs stand out as a socioeconomic alternative for social insertion and fighting against poverty. In this context, a factor that has gained prominence is the female participation in these programs and it indicates that there is a lower level of default among women. In other words, women are �naturally� better credit risks than men in microcredit. Flourishing evidence reveals that women are more possibly to repay security-free microfinance than men. The aim of this research was to evaluate the relationship between gender and amounts which were granted in microcredit operations. We speculate that better recompense performance of women microloan grantors can largely be explained by gender differences in intimate reliability.

 Abstract

Noise pollution is increasing in the daily life with the urbanization of the society. It has a big impact on the society disturbing mental peace and affecting the health of the society. The government is taking actions to reduce noise pollution. The objective is to help the government reach the goal by highlighting areas where noise pollution is high. The goal is to explore a simpler way to measure and calculate noise levels and display it easily on a heat map. The proposed system includes development of an android application which runs in the background and repetitively records audio snippets, measures the noise level of the audio snippet and uploads it to a server. There it is processed and displayed on a heat map. This map makes easier for the government bodies and the users to locate the noisy areas in the cities and do proper city planning and take proper actions to reduce noise pollution.

The rate of people reading the books, newspaper etc... Are reducing day by day. Lack of time and lack of patience are the two main reasons behind it. Our project finds a remedy for this situation. The aim our project is reduces any contents which is given and automatically finds its summary and tells the whole summary of that content. The summary can be speak out using Text to Speech application and also it will be sent to cloud. Like this any number of contents can be summarized and can be further summarized if they are almost similar contents and find the resultant summary.

 Abstract

Bapsi Sidhwa recipient of many prestigious national and international awards is a woman author of great renown in the Asia. Through her novel Ice Candy Man she tries to portray the life with her artistic neutrality during the period of partition of Indian in 1947. Bapsi Sidhwa through her female protagonist Lenny Sethi, disabled four years girl attempts to change the impression of disability in society describing the adventurous four years journey of the protagonist in the present novel showing her concern on pitiable condition of women in the days of the partition along as well as socio-political issues too. When we go back to have a look on the disabled characters portrayed in the works of Indian English or Hindi writers , it reflects the negative portrayal of characters with zero contribution in making society integrated. But in Ice Candy Man the novelist projects the observation and speculation of a disabled girl who belongs to Parsee community in Lahore and does not make any discrimination among people on the basis of caste, creed, religion, community etc. Above all she keeps the religion of humanism on top. Lenny Sethi is Parsee (minority community) but lives with her Ayah Shanta, Hindu Girls and Imamdin, her cook (Muslin) happily. She shows there was communal harmony before the Partition days but communal riots make the people change. Now love and trust disappeared leaving the place to hatred jealousy and vnegeance which give birth to a new society replete with atrocities on the women, abductions, mutilations, and rapes on innocent women and girls which brings disaster in lives of Indian. Even in such horrible situation Lenny Sethi is seen seeking the way to get out of Hira Mandi of Pakistan. While Lenny Sethi herself is confined to place and depend on other for her needs, she still thinks about people and successfully attempts to save the life of Shanta with the help of her godmother. Her neutral outlook and vision towards life make us realize disability is not to be segregated from society but should be assimilated to. Disability is not disqualification it is just show the lack of work capacity of a particular organ. This way disability should be treated.

 Abstract

This experiment, comparison analysis of micro structural properties, and grain size of Pure Al (powder), 95%AL + 5% B4C and 90%AL + 10% B4C (With ECAP method & stir casting) are determined. Based on the micro structural analysis using SEM, the particle distributions of AL- B4C were analysed. The powdered sample were fabricated using equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and stir casting process. When observed using SEM it was found that the particle distribution homogeneity increased as the number of passes increased from one to four. The factors such as Temperature, number of passes are to be considered in the development of grain structure and refinement. The results show that: the amount of shear strain and the mobility of metal matrix have the most important influence to the uniform distribution of particles Al? B4C. In this work, the mixtures of B4C particles and Al powders were fabricated into sever plastic deformation using ECAP and stir casting. And the effects of different ratios, positions and deformation stages on the distribution of B4C particles were investigated.

 Abstract

For tissue regeneration, preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) prior to cell transplantation has been noted to activate target gene set and specific molecular functions. An efficient MSC source for tissue regeneration is amniotic fluid-derived MSC (AF-MSC) owing to their potential in tissue repair and paracrine secretion. However, a standard chondrogenic differentiation medium of MSC, which promotes differentiation through a signal of transforming growth factor (TGF)-?1, makes for an unstable and limited outcome on amniotic fluid-derived MSC (AF-MSC) differentiation into chondrogenic lineage. To increase the differentiation outcome of AF-MSC, we investigated chondrogenic differentiation effects of eight growth factors (GFs)/cytokines on AF-MSC through expression of chondrogenesis-related genes, including Col-I, Col-II, ACAN, RunX2 and SOX9. Our work demonstrates that anabolic Col-II gene can be increased by stimulation of TGF-?, insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and stromal derived factor 1 ? (SDF-1?) with a concentration-dependency. We found that TGF-? elevated anabolic gene function and declined expression of Col-I, typically present in fibrocartilage, during chondrogenic differentiation of AF-MSC. Moreover, TGF-? was not toxic to micro-environment for AF-MSC differentiation. Substitution of TGF-?1 by TGF-? in the condition medium can enhance over two times expression of Col-II and SOX9 genes in AF-MSC. The current study also demonstrated that single GF/cytokine has a greater effect to elevate chondrogenic differentiation of AF-MSC than the GF/cytokine combinations. We conclude that TGF-? preconditioning improved chondrogenesis in AF-MSC for cartilage regeneration.

Abstract: This paper introduces a new invention which is called as the V-Tree by the author. As the name implies it is named after the geometrical shape of the English alphabet �V�. Given the great success of recursive nature of H-Trees, it was inspired to invent another Tree which we call it a V-Tree. The basic problem with H-Tree and C-Tree is they have no hierarchical basis to visualize the binary tree. The main objective of this work is to design a set of v-Tree with suitable grammar in L-systems which visually implies the hierarchy. H-Trees which are used for clock pulse distribution in VLSI design, fills a space which is bound by a rectangle. We demonstrate the flexibility of V-Trees which can be bound in a rectangle as well as in a trapezoid which is an advantage in VLSI design in a trapezoidal circuit board. Similarly, these Trees can be visualized as a layout for graph drawing of binary trees with trapezoidal boundaries.

 Abstract

The paper has pregnantly paused time and documented the journey of a gendered shoe. Are Male and Female genders dominant over other genders is the question. This paper actually lives out Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) - viewing, seeing, watching, eyeing, and observing three decades from age 20 till age 50. The style used is anthropomorphism. We find that MFLGBTQ is the real status and the male and female is not the dominant pair.
