Irrigation system in India has given a high priority in economic development. Many new concepts are being developed to allow agricultural automation to flourish and deliver its full potential. Implementation of Hi-tech Agricultural Solar Fence Security with soil Humidity Based Automatic irrigation system and voice alert on PIR live Human Detection is been implemented in this project for safe and secure agriculture irrigation. The project irrigation control using AT89S52 is designed to tackle the problems of agricultural sector regarding irrigation system with available water resources.

Results-Based Management (RBM) is a system that should be incorporated into the culture of the department and its programme of projects including its operational systems, values and decision-making procedures. The employee’s skills and capacity should focus on achieving outcomes and impact rather than activities and inputs. In general, a result is something that arises as a consequence. The key principle in this article is to understand the three levels of the results chain, namely: outputs, outcomes and impacts.

The aim of this chapter is to establish the convergence and almost stability results of random xed point iterative process using two strictly pseudo contractive random operators in a real separable Hilbert space. The results presented in this paper generalize several well known results in Hilberts spaces. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010) : 47H05, 47H09,47H10, 47J05.

In this paper n x n generalized idempotent matrix M is defined with entries 1, -1 satisfying M2 = mM (1 ≤ m ≤ n) with examples. It is a quite new concept. We have discussed its properties that the Kronecker product of two generalized idempotent matrices is also a generalized idempotent matrix. Also if a n x n matrices M with entries 1 and -1 satisfies M2 = m M ( 1 ≤ m ≤ n ) then the column of matrix M are eigen vector corresponding to eigen values of M.

Objective: This article aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature in order to identify scientific publications on mobile applications for the control and treatment of obesity. Methodology: The terms "mhealth application", "ehealth application", "adult overweight" and "adult obesity" were used in the databases provided by the portals PubMed Central, VHL and Cochrane Library, in the period from January 2013 to September 2016.

The objective of this study is to assess the indigenous technical knowledge (ITK) of feeds and feeding practices of cattle fattening in four districts in Ethiopia. For this purpose, two kebeles (smallest administrative unit) one from highland and the other mid-altitude agro-ecology were selected per study district. Data was collected with structured questionnaire, focus group discussion and personal observation. Totally 160 respondents were involved in the study.

Changes in eating habits of people increased the search for different food formulations to meet the nutritional needs, both for aesthetic reasons or medical restrictions. In this sense, sweet potato provides a valuable product, due to its nutritional and functional properties, being a source of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. In this research, we evaluate the potentialities of sweet potato flour (SPF) in the production of biscuits for total and partial substitution of wheat flour (WF) and sugar.

In recent years many control characteristics were implemented to improve the performance of machines in the field of power electronics. Some of the controllers give very good performance to achieve the premeditated value; out of these controllers the model predictive controller (MPC) gives good results in power electronics drive control. This paper presents application of model predictive controller for switched reluctance motor is done and performance characteristics are compared with the PID controller.

Objective: to identify the symptoms indicative of depression in nursing students at a public higher education institution. Methodology: This descriptive, exploratory study with a quantitative approach was conducted with 122 undergraduates, with data collected by means of applying the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and structured questionnaire with questions related to the study.

Ethnicism is seen as abusive use of alcohol, a chronic intoxication, which harms an individual's physiological and psychic system, used to provide relief from undesirable manifestations offered by abstinence. This is a quantitative research, observational and cross-sectional, in a municipality in the interior of Bahia (latitude: 14º 51 '58 "S; longitude: 40º 50' 22" W). The same is a fraction of a project titled "Epidemiological profile of obesity in the city of Vitória da Conquista / BA".
