The manifestations of the signs of ineffectiveness of most residential plots in terms of environmental aesthetics are due to the problems of design, planning, regulatory and administrative frame work within which physical development takes place. The research aims at assessing landscaping and management issues in open spaces within approved setbacks of residential buildings in Satellite town, Lagos Nigeria using Low Impact development approach, with a view of improving the environmental aesthetics and sustenance of the residential plot.

High capacity, High quality, speed, performance, low complexities are the target of future generation technology. In this paper we are trying to improve performance of wireless cellular technology in the two crucial aspects path loss and processing time which are very important in evaluation of wireless communication system. In this article first we focus on path loss because it helps in determining the coverage area of network. Second we emphasis processing time which is an important parameter in implementing a cellular system.

Biological field of research have as of now delivered huge measures of important biological information that is trying to examine because of its high dimensionality and complexity. With this huge amount of data there are several problems during classification of data such as: noisy instances, over fitting as well as class imbalance. This will influence accuracy as well as the efficiency of supervised learning techniques.

In this paper, we study stochastic orders that compare the variability or the dispersion of fuzzy random variable. The most important and common order that has studied in this paper are the convex and the dispersive order. We also study in this paper the excess wealth order which is found to be useful in the increasing order of application. Various related order are also examined in the paper.

The rate of complying for ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems (EMS) certification has been generally slow in Sri Lankan Organizations compared to the adoption of other popular management systems certifications like ISO 9001 Quality Management System and ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Further, the awareness on the benefits of having this certification for an organization is also at very low level. The present study is focusing to get some research data on the potential drivers that could be used to adopt ISO 14001.

When the size of materials and structures shrinks to nanometer, the influence of surface energy on their stress field becomes more important in nanoscale due to their relatively high surface-to-volume ratios compared to that of a macro-scale domain. Based on Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory, displacement potentials are used to solve the three dimensional boundary-value problems involving non-classical boundary conditions represented by the generalized Young-Laplace equations.

The name Terry originated from the way towels were manufactured originally. The towels are manufactured by compiling loops and then pulling them out to form a textile product. Historically, these loops were pulled out by hand and thus named from a French word “Tire” which means to pull out. Thus,A Terry towels may be described as a textile product which is made up with loops on one side or both side of the cloth. The loops enable the towels to absorb a large amount of water. These towels can be manufactured by weaving or knitting.

Now a days demand for smart home devices are increasing with a rapid pace. Portable Knock Detecting Notifier(PKDN) is a small wireless device that instantly transforms ordinary surfaces (walls, tables, doors, furniture, countertops, & more) into a powerful touchpad. This is a very unique approach to control home devices as well as send alert notification to the user .Our device (PKDN) uses home Wi-Fi network to connect to other devices and is programmed to accept various commands through number of knocks.

Welding of dissimilar aluminum alloys (AA) is not reliable by using fusion welding techniques. Many fusion defects such as porosity and hot crack have been observed by these techniques due to the melting of these alloys. It can eliminate the fusion defects by using a different process technique to join these alloys without melting. One of this processes is friction stir welding. This process is a solid state joining technique which joins metals under its melting temperatures. This process uses a tool which consists a shoulder to produce heat by friction and a pin to stir the welded metals.

Currently there is a growing interest in researching and developing new antibacterial agents from various sources to combat bacterial resistance. Therefore, a greater attention must be paid to antibacterial activity screening and evaluating methods. Several bioassays such as disk-diffusion, well diffusion and broth or agar dilution are well known and commonly used, but other methods are not widely used because they need some special equipment.
