This paper highlights personality characteristics of mentally retarded children projected on Rorschach Ink Blot Test. Projective techniques are characterized by a global approach to the appraisal of personality, give composite picture of whole personality and measure latent and unconscious aspects of the personality. In the present study, the researcher has employed the Random purposive sampling technique. There were 45 boys and 35 girls in the sample. Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices Test developed by J.C.

With the rapid development of network, more and more desktop applications to web platform and traditional animation techniques based on Web platform is first draw good pictures on the server side, then the pictures sent to the browser, using flash or other third party plug-in display. This operation is not only a waste of resources, but also increases the complexity of system, so more art creators hope computer technology development to a more convenient production animation such as the web service function realization is simple, efficient, interactive animation effect.

Introducing and implementing online teaching methods naturally comes with its fair share of challenges in various forms and guises. These are in fact part and parcel of the process and teachers who intend to introduce online and other technical means of teaching to a context that is yet to be familiarized with these concepts should consider these difficulties prior to planning their lessons. This is a reflection paper on a previous study conducted to evaluate an ESL writing assisting tool jointly developed with the department of Computer Sciences.

In this article, I attempt to show the characteristics of the education system in Hong Kong, doing so based on the educational performance revealed in different countries through the PISA 2006 Report. I describe the characteristics obtained by carrying out a comparison with other countries in the world, and I clearly define the benefits through four models that define the educational systems of the world to address their heterogeneity.

Swarna is most popular indica rice variety cultivated in India. However, Swarna is highly susceptible to blast disease. As genes that confer effective resistance to blast are available along with gene-specific markers, the present study was carried out to introgress a major blast resistance gene, Pi54 into the genetic background of Swarna through marker-assisted backcross breeding. Rice line Tetep possessing Pi54 gene served as the donor. Marker-assisted backcross breeding strategy was used for introgression of the resistance gene into Swarna.

Microfinance is inextricably linked with economic development. Provision of microcredit to the poor along with other support services enables them to set-up income generating activities.

A suitable host-guest inclusion complex has beenmade with a guest molecule, 1-methyl-3- octylimidazolium chloride ([MOIm]Cl) and a host molecule, α-cyclodextrin in aqueous medium. Formation of the host-guest inclusion complex has been established by Surface tension and conductivity readings while1H NMR and ultraviolet spectroscopy readingconfirms1:1 host-guest stoichiometry. These results have implications for the formation of host-guest inclusion complex of studied ionic liquid as guest in aqueous α–cyclodextrin media.

The present study investigated the Academic Achievement of secondary school students in Lakhimpur and Karbi Anglong district of Assam. The study is conducted on a sample of 800 students comprising of 420 boys and 380 girls selected randomly from both Government and Private Schools of the districts. For collection of data descriptive survey method is used. The study clearly revealed that in the whole sample the secondary school students studying in government and private schools as well as belonging to urban and rural areas show significant difference in respect of their science subject.
