Opportunities and Inplementation (A Case Study: Economic Development of Kyaukta Village, Sagaing Township)

The study on economic opportunities is a crucial one not only for economic development but also for all round development of the respective area. In this study, economic opportunities of a village are assessed by means of qualitative method. Due to good location and the given economic opportunities of the study area, people in Kyaukta village know well about different economic opportunities in addition to their traditional farming. By taking an interview to the local residents, the past, present and future economic development pattern could be portrayed systematically. Due to the great efforts of local people in their implementation processes, the different types of economic activities were found within one family. The results show that the economic activities for the individual household could be extracted from the minimum of one in one economic activity to the maximum of five in one household. This situation highlights the greater potentiality of the study area to be developed during the time frame of near future

Design Consideration of Electrical Earthing System for High-rise Building

Electricity is dangerous and required proper grounding to prevent unwanted voltage from passing through personnel, critical equipment and other nearby metallic objects. Soil resistivity directly affects the design of a grounding system. When designing an extensive grounding system it is advisable to locate the area of lowest soil resistivity in order to achieve the economical grounding installation. Neither very low resistivity nor very high resistivity is safe for human safety under power system fault conditions. The earthing or grounding is mainly affected by soil resistivity. This study will briefly explain the earthing of Lightning Protection System for 11th storeyed building. The soil type of this building is loam and soil resitivity is 150 Ωm

A Comparative Study of Image Noise Reduction

There are several ways that noise can be introduced into an image, depending on how the image is created. Today, there are varieties of image noise reduction techniques. Several approaches have been introduced each has its own assumptions, advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we study and compare three types of image noise reduction techniques: Inverse filter, Wiener filter and Lucy-Richardson filter. These filters are deconvolution types of filters. This paper attempts to undertake the study of three types of noise such as Salt and Pepper Noise (SPN), Gaussian Noise (GN) and Speckle Noise (SPKN). Different noise densities have been removed by using three types of filters as Inverse Filter (IF), Wiener Filter (WF) and Lucy-Richardson Filter (LF). These filters are applied to the car license plate image. The comparative study is conducted with the help of Mean Square Errors (MSE) and Peak-Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).

Plant Growth and Yield Response to Salinity Stress of Rice Grown under the Application of Different Nitrogen Levels and Bacillus pumilus Strain TUAT-1

Rice is an important food crop, and its production is significantly affected by salt stress under the changing climate. Soil-inhabiting microbial inoculants as well as efficient nitrogen (N) nutrition may have ameliorative effects on rice growth and yield under salt stress. However, the effects of the interaction between N application and microbial inoculants on the growth and grain yield of rice under salt stress is not yet fully understood. This study aimed to clarify whether the use of the Bacillus pumilus strain TUAT-1 biofertilizer, along with the right amount of N fertilizer, would alleviate salt stress in lowland rice production. We applied the Bacillus pumilus strain TUAT-1 as a biofertilizer in combination with different rates of N fertilizer: control (0% N), 2.64 g (NH4)2SO4 per nursery tray (100% N: the farmer-recommended amount), and 3.96 g (NH4)2SO4 per nursery tray (150% N). Salinity (100 mM of NaCl) was applied at the heading stage of rice plants in pot culture in the greenhouse, and the growth and yield components were accessed at harvest. In the nursery phase, the application of the biofertilizer TUAT-1 significantly increased seedling vigor and the root development of 21-day-old seedlings. Salinity stress at the heading stage significantly reduced chlorophyll content, panicle number, straw biomass, and grain yield; however, either the application of N alone or in combination with TUAT-1 ameliorated the salinity-related reduction in grain yield and yield component parameters. Plants receiving a high amount of N fertilizer (150% N) showed similar straw biomass and grain yield with or without TUAT-1 inoculation, regardless of saline or non-saline conditions. In both saline and control conditions, straw biomass and grain yield were higher in the plants inoculated with TUAT-1 than in those without TUAT-1. Specifically, the combined application of TUAT-1 and the farmer-recommended N level (100% N) led to an increase of 8% in straw biomass and 15% in grain yield under saline stress when compared with their respective plants without TUAT-1. Straw biomass and grain yield were similar in the (un-inoculated) plants grown under normal conditions and TUAT-1 + 100% N under salinity treatments, because TUAT-1 enhanced root development, which may promote soil nutrient uptake. Our results indicated that combined nursery application of TUAT-1 biofertilizer and 100% N fertilizer rate has the potential to boost the capacity of this bacteria to increase seedling vigor, which subsequently ameliorated the salt-induced reduction in the grain and straw yield

The Study on Annual Effective Dose of Different Kinds of Soil in Yangon University of Education Using Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (LR115)

Samples of soil from different University hostels have been analyzed for radon concentrations and annual effective dose. For the measurement, alpha sensitive LR115 Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNDT) were used. In this research, the calculated value of radon concentration emanated from the soil samples varied from 28 ± 24.665 Bqm-3 to 314 ± 41.589Bqm-3 and the average annual effective dose is varied from 0.48 ± 0.424 m Svy-1 to 5.40 ± 0.715 m Svy-1 . According to these results, it was not found the higher level of radon concentration and the annual effective dose which are lower than 14m Svy-1 , the ICRP recommended level

Automatic Myanmar Text Summarization System

Automatic text summarization is used as atool to help people in reducing the time spentmanually extracting the main ideas from textdocuments. If the natural disaster news isprovided as the summary form includingimportant and relevant information, people inmanagement level can make comparisons andintelligent decisions quickly without exhaustingenergy by manually extracting the salient points.Moreover, for a normal user, automaticsummary report of the disaster news makes themclear perception and fully awareness of theeffects of the natural disaster by inspecting deathtoll and damage of the natural hazards.Therefore, this paper proposes AutomaticMyanmar Text Summarization framework that isbased on Information Extraction and practicalimplementation of this framework insummarizing natural disaster news which are inseven types: Earthquake, Flood, Landslide,Forest Fire, Tornado, Storm and VolcanicEruption described in Myanmar Language. Thetwo main components of the proposedframework, Myanmar Word Segmentation modelbased on Conditional Random Fields (CRFs)and Information Extraction Model using CRFs approach are also introduced

Assessment of Dyeing Properties of Natural Dye Extracted from the Fruit of Myrobalan (Phan-Kha)

In this study, natural colorant extracted from the fruit of Myrobalan (Phan-kha) was applied on cotton fabric using alum, copper sulphate and potassium dichromate as mordant. The effects of mordant, dyeing time and dyeing temperature on the color strength of dyed cotton fabrics were measured. The fastness properties of dyed cotton fabrics such as washing fastness, rubbing fastness and light fastness were also evaluated. It was found that using the metal mordants increased the color strength of the dyed cotton fabrics. It was shown that all mordants increased in rubbing fastness and washing fastness of dyed cotton fabrics, but the light fastness increased in the used of copper sulphate and potassium dichromate mordants
