Generalisations of Integral Inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type through Convexity

In this paper, we establish various inequalities for some differentiable mappings that are linked with the illustrious Hermite-Hadamard integral inequality for mappings whose derivatives are $s$-$(\alpha,m)$-convex.The generalised integral inequalities contribute some better estimates than some already presented. The inequalities are then applied to numerical integration and some special means.Comment: 11 Page

ETIOLOGY OF STUDENTS FAIL TO COMPLETE DOCTORATE DEGREE WITHIN STIPULATED TIME

Doctorate degree so-called doctor of philosophy (PhD) is amiably recognized as remarkable postgraduate qualification so far.  In the walk of technological advancement and globalization the demand of doctorate degree can’t be abandon and commonly, students with vivid academic background, desire to pursue challenging careers, auspicious personal traits with motivation are enrolled for this programme. When such distinctive students failed to complete the doctorate degree within stipulated time, have arise many questions for stakeholders. This study was conducted to articulate the etiology of student failure to complete doctorate degree programme within stipulated time. For this purpose, PhD students were considered population and data was collected through questionnaire. Total 268 questionnaires were distributed and 233 were received. Statistical tools such as EFA, CFA and SEM were applied. For this SPSS-20 and AMOS-24 software were used. Results of study found Institutional Support, Personality Trait and Supervisor Support have significant positive impact on PhD degree completion. It is recommended that all stakeholders need to play their role and there is dare need to develop a systematic formal organize research structure. Also establish National Research Monitoring Cell for centralization and streamline research activities. Supervisors engage students beyond odds hours also inculcate research / innovation habit. 

Impact of Human Capital Practices on the Performance of Small and Medium Enterprise’s in Pakistan: Examining the Mediating Role of Innovation

Small and Medium Industries play an important role in the development of the economy of any country. The current study aimed to examine the impact of human capital and social capital on the SMEs performance with the mediating role of innovation. SMEs were divided into various categories and then the respondents were reached out with convenience random sampling due to large size of the population. A sample of 307 SMEs was chosen and the data were analyzed through SMART PLS version 3.0.The findings of the study indicated that human capital has positive impact on the SMEs performance and when checked the mediating effects of innovation shows a partial between Human Capital and firm performance. It is recommended that SMEs in Pakistan must embark innovation to improve their performance and when planning human resource strategy they must concentrate on human capital carefully because it is positive linked with firm performance.

An Ecological Study of Red Junglefowl (Gallus Gallus Spadiceus) in Agriculture Areas

A two-year study on the ecology of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus spadiceus) was conducted in five selected agriculture areas in the state of Selangor. In the first year (from August 1995 to July 1996), the study was done in three areas viz. rubber plantation, 22-year old oil palm plantation and orchard area at Universiti Putra Malaysia. In the second year (from August 1996 to July 1997), another two areas viz. 4-year and 8-year old oil palm plantations at Sungai Sedu Estate, Selangor were selected. Red Junglefowl density was estimated by transect survey. The densities in 4-year, 8-year and 22-year old oil palm plantations, orchard area and rubber plantation were 84.221km2, 27.801km2, 21,431km2, 15.661km2 and 6.061km2 respectively. Male and female ratio was 1:1.25. The abundance of arthropods did not seem to affect the density of Red Junglefowl. Four Red Junglefowls were radio tagged in oil palm plantation to observe the home range size and movement. The Red Junglefowl tracking was made by triangulation technique. The daily and monthly home range of male was larger than that of female and also the total daily movement of male was larger than female. The maximum home range size of male and female were 312.50 ha and 49.07 ha respectively. The study on breeding ecology showed that generally, one male was observed with a single female and rarely with two to four females. A total of 95 nests were observed during the entire period of study. The Red Junglefowl breeds throughout the year with a peak in December 1996. The mean clutch size was 4.08 eggs. The incubation period in captivity was approximately 19.5 days. The hatching percentage of eggs in nature was 99% whereas, the rate of desertion of nests was 80%. The predators of eggs and chicks in the agriculture areas were stray dogs, snakes, monitor lizards and big carnivorous birds. Foraging ecology of Red Junglefowls shows that they fed in open areas early in the morning and evening and the rest of the day they fed under trees. They are opportunistic feeders and ate a variety of animal and plant components. The male Red Junglefowl consumed oil palm fruit more than the female whereas the female consumed more animal materials than the male. Roosting ecology shows that the Red Junglefowl preferred horizontal branch/frond for roosting at night and changed branches and trees from time to time. The roosting height varied between 5 to 9 m in orchard area and 4 to 12 m in oil palm plantations. Red Junglefowl departed about 3 minutes earlier before sunrise and roosted about 6 minutes before sunset. The male Red Junglefowl crowed for finding or attracting a mate and for announcing or protecting its territory. The crowing frequency was high when a nonterritorial male entered the territory of a territorial male. Alarm calls were given by both sexes when there was a danger especially when predators were nearby

Prediction of Waterflooding Performance in Non-Communicating Layered Reservoir

The lack of sufficient natural drive in most reservoirs has led to the practice of supplementing the natural reservoir energy by introducing some form of artificial drive, the most basic method being the injection of gas or water. One of the objectives of waterflooding is to displace oil from reservoir. The purpose of the project is to study the performance of the waterflooding on noncommunicating layered reservoir. Analytical works based on Buckley-Leverett Method has been used and an enhance method for predicting waterflooding performance has been implemented. With different cases on mobility ratio, waterflooding performance such as oil and water production is varied as the viscosity of the displacing fluid helps in recovering the oil

Frequency of intraventricular extension in intracerebral hemorrhage and its outcome at day 30.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10 to 15% of all strokes, and is found to have a disproportionately high morbidity and mortality.1 Extension of the hemorrhage intothe ventricles (40% occurrence) can happen early or late in the course of events.2 OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of Intraventricular extension in patients with intracerebralhaemorrhage and its outcome at day 30 by measuring disability using Modified Rankin Scale.STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive case series.PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Study was carried out from 1st December 2010 to 31st May, 2011 in the department of Neurology, PIMS, Islamabad, Pakistan SUBJECT AND METHODS:93 patients of intracerebralhaemorrhage were enrolled in the study and the site of bleeding and its intraventricular extension noted on CT scan and outcome was measured by using mRS at discharge and at day 30. RESULTS:Total numbers of patients were 93. Mean age was 61.31±16.37 years. Mean duration of hospital stay was 4.06±2.08 days. Mean mRS at Admission was 4.55±0.69.Intraventricular extension of the intracerebral hemorrhage was seen in about half of the cases (50.5%). A higher number of patients were seen in mRS 5 in patients withintraventricular extension at admission. At Discharge 17 patients were dead in intraventricular extension group compared to 5 with no intraventricular extension group. The outcome was poor at day 30 as about half of patients (23 out of 47) with intraventricular extension of hemorrhage were dependent.CONCLUSION:Intraventricular extension of the intracerebral hemorrhage was seen in about half of the cases andits outcome at day 30 was poor
