. Exact solution for dynamic system with distributed mass in elastic state is commonly analyzed by Euler-Bernoulli theory, that is ‘plane cross sections perpendicular to the axis of the beam remains plane and perpendicular to the axis after deformation [Wang, 1995]. Due to effect of transverse shear deformation, the plane cross sections remain plane but not necessarily normal to the longitudinal axis after deformation. This effect may have significant influence on the natural frequency of the large and deep beam. Also, the inertial resistance to rotational acceleration of the beam could not be ignored for the large and deep beam. Investigation is made for these two conditions by the use of Timoshenko's beam theory. This paper presents exact solution of natural frequency, of which shear deformation and rotary inertia effects are included in the analysis. Numbers of mode-shapes become definite if which shear deformation and rotary inertia effects are included in the analysi

The aims of this experiment were to identify and characterize of sediment product from cattle rumen liquor as a source of amino acids, minerals and vitamins. The sediment were obtained as pellets upon centrifugation of rumen liquor at 10,000 g for 10 minutes for collection of supernatant. The sediment were evaluated for amino acids, minerals and vitamins composition and chararacterized for the pH, solubility of dry matter, specific density, bulk and compacted bulk densities and angle of response. Result of the experiment showed that sediment contained higher minerals: Na, K and Fe compared with the commercial premix, but lower in B-vitamins and amino acids. The composition of mineral Na, K, and Fe from rumen liquor of local cattle was 13.47%, 7.73 % and 14.52 %, while Na, K, and Fe from rumen liquor of imported cattle was 18.40%, 10.25%, and 14.52% respectively. The sediment had pH range from 10.01-10.03, the dry matter solubility was 35.5% up to 39.1%. The sediment from imported cattle had higher specific density, bulk and compacted bulk densities and angle of response than that of local cattle. It is concluded that sediment from cattle rumen liquor contained high Na, K and Fe, low amino acids and B-vitamin, high pH and low solubility
GRB 030329: 3 years of radio afterglow monitoring
Radio observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are essential for our
understanding of the physics of relativistic blast waves, as they enable us to
follow the evolution of GRB explosions much longer than the afterglows in any
other wave band. We have performed a three-year monitoring campaign of GRB
030329 with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescopes (WSRT) and the Giant
Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Our observations, combined with observations
at other wavelengths, have allowed us to determine the GRB blast wave physical
parameters, such as the total burst energy and the ambient medium density, as
well as investigate the jet nature of the relativistic outflow. Further, by
modeling the late-time radio light curve of GRB 030329, we predict that the
Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR, 30-240 MHz) will be able to observe afterglows of
similar GRBs, and constrain the physics of the blast wave during its
non-relativistic phase.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A, vol.365, p.1241,

Detailed study of the GRB 030329 radio afterglow deep into the non-relativistic phase
We explore the physics behind one of the brightest radio afterglows ever, GRB
030329, at late times when the jet is non-relativistic. We determine the
physical parameters of the blast wave and its surroundings, in particular the
index of the electron energy distribution, the energy of the blast wave, and
the density (structure) of the circumburst medium. We then compare our results
with those from image size measurements. We observed the GRB 030329 radio
afterglow with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope and the Giant Metrewave
Radio Telescope at frequencies from 325 MHz to 8.4 GHz, spanning a time range
of 268-1128 days after the burst. We modeled all the available radio data and
derived the physical parameters. The index of the electron energy distribution
is p=2.1, the circumburst medium is homogeneous, and the transition to the
non-relativistic phase happens at t_NR ~ 80 days. The energy of the blast wave
and density of the surrounding medium are comparable to previous findings. Our
findings indicate that the blast wave is roughly spherical at t_NR, and they
agree with the implications from the VLBI studies of image size evolution. It
is not clear from the presented dataset whether we have seen emission from the
counter jet or not. We predict that the Low Frequency Array will be able to
observe the afterglow of GRB 030329 and many other radio afterglows,
constraining the physics of the blast wave during its non-relativistic phase
even further.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures; accepted for publication in Astronomy &

Psychological Injuries at Work - What Every Manager Should Know
A psychological injury is a diagnosable illness that affects a person’s thinking, emotional state and behavior. It can disrupt their ability to work and carry out other daily activities, and to engage in satisfying personal relationships. Unlike a physical injury, a psychological injury cannot be easily recognized and understood. This research document is a conceptual work, which tries to define and isolate stress and stress related injuries, as well as psychological injuries at work. Such an understanding would help the top management to cater and prevent injuries of such extent. Based on literature, a model has been developed for the study and the research document has defined “Psychological injury as an employee’s explicit manifestation of distress in the form of affective behavioral and cognitive dysfunction in work context”. This research document can be considered a seminal work done in Indian context. This works gains importance in the light of increasing number of lawsuits in Indian courts on work- related stress and agony. India still does not have any laws that deal with emotional health and stress related injuries at work or psychological injuries as compared to other countries like Canada, U.K and the U.

Optical observations of the bright long duration peculiar GRB 021004 afterglow
The CCD magnitudes in Johnson and Cousins and photometric
passbands are determined for the bright long duration GRB 021004 afterglow from
2002 October 4 to 16 starting 3 hours after the ray burst.
Light curves of the afterglow emission in ,, and passbands are
obtained by combining these measurements with other published data. The
earliest optical emission appears to originate in a revese shock. Flux decay of
the afterglow shows a very uncommon variation relative to other well-observed
GRBs. Rapid light variations, especially during early times (
days) is superposed on an underlying broken power law decay typical of a jetted
afterglow. The flux decay constants at early and late times derived from least
square fits to the light curve are and respectively,
with a jet break at around 7 day. Comparison with a standard fireball model
indicates a total extinction of mag in the direction of the
burst. Our low-resolution spectra corrected for this extinction provide a
spectral slope . This value and the flux decay constants
agree well with the electron energy index used in the model. The
derived jet opening angle of about implies a total emitted
gamma-ray energy erg at a cosmological distance
of about 20 Gpc. Multiwavelength observations indicate association of this GRB
with a star forming region, supporting the case for collapsar origin of long
duration GRBs.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures, BASI, 31, 1
