Abstract :The silk dye (Azo dye) waste is one of the most potential harmful chemicals liberated in the environment in an unexpected manner. Silk dye waste is widely used as a potent dyeing of yarn and fabrics in many countries and has been shown to produce some adverse health effects. The present study was undertaken to investigate the toxic effects of the silk dye waste on kidney and mitigation using Moringa oleifera leaf powder.  click here
 Five sets of animals i.e. Group-I (Control), Group-II (fed with 50% silk dye), Group-III (fed with 100% silk dye), Group-IV (mice fed with 50% dye treated with M. oleifera leaves powder), Group-V (mice fed with 100% dye treated with M. oleifera leaves powder) have been taken for experiment. The dose of silk dye was 2ml/day to both groups II and III and M. oleifera leaf is given as per the standard dose (300mg/kg b.w) to both animals of group IV and V. The result was demonstrated when treated with silk dye waste showed some changes including glomerular degeneration, tubular collapse, haemorrhage, infiltration, hydropic changes, glomerular shrinkage and compressed blood vessel but their completely mitigation using M. oleifera leaf powder. These results, along with previous observation, suggest that M. oleifera may be useful in kidney tissues damage that is a result of silk dye waste effluent toxicity. Keywords: Silk dye waste effluent, Moringa oleifera leaf powder, Histopathology, Kidney, Swiss albino mice Mus musculus.

Introduction : Telecommunication is defined as to communicate over a distance by telegraph, telephone or broadcasting. Another word, the transmission of information is known as telecommunication. click here
 In Dubai the role of telecommunication was developed in 1962 Emirates Telecommunications Corporation, branded trade name Etisalat literally, is a UAE based telecommunications services provider. It currently operates in 18 countries across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. As of February 2011, etisalat is the sixteenth largest mobile network operator in the world, with a total customer base of more than 135 million.One of the most competitive challenges faced by the telecommunication operators always is the ability to focus successfully on the customer.  Customer satisfaction can be defined as a features or characteristics that can full the either a need or want of a consumer in better way than competitors. Customer satisfaction has been a central theme of managerial decision making. Services management literature is not short of theoretical and empirical studies on customer satisfaction in the telecommunications industry. It is a fact that all major telecommunications companies around the world gather information about customer satisfaction and other related information about the quality of their services. This inevitable exercise has been accepted not as a chance but as a choice. Management of telecom companies laid considerable emphasis on the significance of both assessing customer satisfaction and using sound assessment methodologies for such task over the period, the focus on customer satisfaction has progressed from being a simple measurement issue to a strategic imperative that affects competitiveness of the service providers.What exactly is customer satisfaction for the telecommunication industry? There can be several answers to this question depending on the specific type of product or service needs of the individual who answers this. However all of them may agree on one common statement .Customer satisfaction is related to the overall performance of the telecommunications company ranging from adequate service provision, value for money, loyalty, and relationship management. The antecedents of the performance of the organization are obtained from the contact points between the customers and the service points. A study has been proposed to be undertaken by me into the customer satisfaction of the mobile phone services enjoyed by the university student community in Dubai. The project is taken up as a part of my ongoing academic program with the five different universities in the Dubai International Academic City.

Abstract : Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) is one of the lethal complications of diabetes mellitus which is associated with a variety of adverse cardiovascular outcomes like lethal arrhythmias and sudden death. CAN results from damage to the autonomic nerve fibers that innervate heart and blood vessels which leads to reduced heart rate variability (HRV).  click here
 We examined HRV, a measure of autonomic activity, in adolescents aged 12 to 19 years with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1 DM) and healthy controls using BIOPAC MP 150. Thirty three adolescents with T1 DM  (age 16.15 ± 2.66 years) who were diagnosed to have T1 DM for more than 2 years and thirty one, aged and sex matched, healthy controls (age 17.13 ± 1.34 years) were recruited for this study. We studied different indices of HRV for 5 minutes (standard deviation of all N-N intervals: SDNN, the square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of difference between adjacent N-N intervals: RMSSD, N-N 50 count divided by the total number of N-N intervals: pNN50, very low frequency: VLF, low frequency: LF, high frequency: HF, total power: TP and LF/HF ratio). We found that there was a significant difference between the HRV analyses of   T1 DM patients and healthy controls. All the indices of HRV were significantly lower in T1 DM patients as compared to the healthy controls. However LF/HF ratio was higher in T1 DM patients but it was not statistically significant. Our findings suggest reduced overall HRV in adolescents with T1 DM which could be attributed to the presence of CAN in them.Keywords :- Heart rate variability, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, adolescents, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, heart rate.

Abstract : This paper describes simple implementation of homotopy (also called continuation) algorithm for determining the proper resistance of the resistor to dissipate energy at a specified rate of an electric circuit. Homotopy algorithm can be considered as a developing of the classical methods in numerical computing such as Newton-Raphson and fixed point methods. In homoptopy methods, an embedding parameter is used to control the convergence. The method purposed in this work utilizes a special homotopy called Newton homotopy. Numerical example solved in MATLAB is given to show the effectiveness of the purposed method.

Abstract : This study focused on applying and utilizing enterprise information portal. Descriptive survey approach was adopted and data was generated from a five point likert scale questionnaire. The study covered a population of one hundred and twenty three (123) members of staff of three selected banks in Owerri.  click here
 Taro Yamene formula was used to select a sample of 94 respondents. Out of the 94 questionnaires distributed, 88 were correctly filled and returned; thereby given a questionnaire return rate of 93.62%. The data gathered was analyzed with the kruskawalis (H) test. The findings from hypothesis one and two showed that H= O.003 and 0.000 respectively, leading to the rejection of H0. This study therefore concludes that Nigerian banks have keyed into enterprise information portal utilization especially as it affects knowledge dissemination and organizational memory development through their leveraging of intranet and extranet facilities. It was therefore recommended that there is need for organizations to improve on their EIP security in order to curtail leakage of vital official knowledge/information which may compromise the knowledge management process and that Training and retraining of employees on the need and utilization of modern EIP facilities will greatly enhance EIP’S contribution to knowledge management.
