1 Ethnic dimension in India-Myanmar Relations
T. Chongboi Haokip

Abstract: The study examines the changing dimensions of India-Myanmar Relations, the ethno-nationalist movement operating in northeast India and the peripheral region of Myanmar with special reference to the Kuki and Chin ethnic groups in relation to India-Myanmar relation. Both India and Myanmar are ethnically diverse nations which shared a porous international border with transnational nationalities on both the sides. The Kukis and Chins represents the transnational ethnic communities with shared historical past. Many studies on bilateral relations between India and Myanmar has been conducted, But the ethnic dimension has been ignored viz-a-viz the bilateral relations. The gist of this paper is to highlight the importance of understanding ethnic conflicts in the light of the study on India-Myanmar bilateral relations. In this paper the term Burma and Myanmar would be used interchangeably depending on the era. The term “Burma” would be used for the period before 1989 while “Myanmar” would referred to the period after 1989.

Theresa Ugonwa Okafor

Abstract: Physics has become the bedrock of many nations’ socio-economic development for sustainability. The study was a descriptive survey research design to investigate a way forward to enhance girl-child participation in Physics Education. The study was carried out in the forty-two public secondary schools in Aguata Education Zone of Anambra State. The population consisted of 232 Physics teachers in the education zone. Simple random sampling techniques were used to select 120 female Physics teachers and 80 male Physics teachers for the study. Two research questions and one null hypothesis guided the study. Data was collected using a-26 item structural questionnaire developed by the researcher. The reliability of instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha giving a reliability index of 0.84. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions while t-test was used to test the null hypothesis at P<0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that early marriage, poverty, cultural/traditional belief, sex bias etc were obstacles to girl-child participation in Physics education. Some strategies to enhance girl-child active participation in Physics education such as modification of Physics teacher’s behaviour, awareness of campaigning at the grass root and national levels to discourage parents from denying their girl-child access to proper education by subjecting them to early marriage, child labour etc were highlighted. Elimination of masculine images of textual materials which discriminate against girl-child was emphasized. Educational implications were discussed and recommendations were made.

Sandeep Kaur

Abstract: The mass attenuation coefficient (µ/ρ) and Half value layer (HVL) parameters of xBi2O3.(1-x)SiO2 (x=0.50 upto 0.75) glass system have been calculated theoretically by using XCOM computer software developed by National Institute of standards and technology (NIST) at 662 and 1173eV photon energies. The obtained results have been compared with standard radiation shielding concretes at same energies. The prepared glass samples have higher values of mass attenuation coefficients and lower values of HVL parameters. The density, molar volume and X-Ray diffraction measurements have been used to study the structural properties of the prepared samples. Reported glass samples can find applications in the areas of nuclear reactors and nuclear waste storage containers.

10 DESIGN OF ADAPTIVE FILTER THRESHOLDING & EMD BASED DE-NOISING METHOD FOR ECG SIGNALS OF MIT-BIH
Sujan Singh Thakur, Prof. Papiya Dutta

Abstract: An ECG signal is usually corrupted by various types of noises. Some of these noises are power line interface, baseline drift, muscle contraction, motion artifacts, electrosurgical noise, instrumentation noise & electromyography noises. It is highly required to develop a method which can filter ECG signal noises significantly. In this work, an EMD along with adaptive switching mean filter based new method for de-noising of ECG signal has been proposed. Unlike, conventional EMD based denoising approaches, where only lower orders IMFs are denoised in this work, along with EMD, ASMF operation has been employed for further signal quality improvement. lower order IMFs are filtered through wavelet de-noising technique to reduce high-frequency artifacts & retain QRS complexes. Then, considering effectiveness of ASMF, for further enhancement of signal quality adaptive switching mean filtering is performed. validity of performance of described technique is evaluated on standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Gaussian noise at different signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels are added to original signals

Ms. Poonam

Abstract: India is a vast country. Indian economy is classified in three sectors: Agriculture and allied services, Industrial sector and Services sector. India is the 2nd fastest growing economy after China. India is the 3rd largest economy on the basis of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and India is the 7th largest economy as per nominal GDP. Services sector has become important for many economies in the world and very important particularly in India. The services sector forms a backbone of social and economic development of a region. It is a large and most dynamic part of the Indian economy both in terms of employment potential and contribution to national income. Growth of the services sector is also an important aspect of economic development and is strongly associated with income and economic modernization. As an input to the production process, services are playing an increasing important role in manufacturing industries, world over. At world level, manufacturing sector as a whole has grown moderately in production and employment since last decade. This sector has added steam to its growth parameters and it is predicted that this growth rate will accelerate in the coming years, thus resulting in high demand of Indian professionals in both national as well as international markets.Services sector contributed around 60.20 per cent of employment in 1961-65 and 68.35 per cent of employment in 2006-12.The present paper shows components of GDP of various sectors at constant and current prices, GDP of sub-sectors of services sector at current and constant prices, annual compound growth rate at current and constant prices. The study takes time period of 62 years i.e. from 1951 to 2012. This paper aim to show that share of services sector has a favorable effect on the growth of Indian economy.

Yusriani Nasution1, Azwar Rasyidin , Yulnafatmawita and Amrizal Saidi

Abstract: Salak (Salacca sumatrana) is a profitable commodity with low and wide plant canopy that can retain rain and it roots could withstand the runoff. The purpose of this study was to determine the canopy interception of salak plant, tree canopy interception have a significant role in reducing the amount of rainfall that reaches the ground beneath the tree. The study has been tasted on the type of mineral soil in East Angkola District North Sumatera with an altitude of 350 - 880 m above sea level. The study period start from October 2016 to March 2017. The study was conducted by survey method with the calculation of interception based on the measurement of rainfall, stem flow and throughfall. Result showed that the maisured interception, throughfall and stemflow accounted was 71.96 mm (82.98 %), 15.19 mm (15.62%) and 0.78 mm (0.93%) of cumulative gross rainfall during 1 year. Simple and multiple linear regeresion was used to determine the interception relationship with rainfall, throughfall and stemflow factors. The multiple linear regression relationship between interception with rainfall, thrughfall and stemflow indicate a very strong regression relationship ie interception is strongly impact by three factors. The coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.938) indicate that there is a strong influence of the factors on interception. A very high number of interception of salak plants shows that salak plants can hold rainfall to fell the ground.

Neha Gupta, Ravi Kumar Gangwar, Sameer Chandra, Jaspal Singh

Abstract:Ground water samples were collected from different tehsil (Aonla Tehsil, Baheri Tehsil, Bareilly Tehsil, Faridpur Tehsil, Mirganj Tehsil) of the Bareilly regionand analyzed quantitatively for the concentration of trace elements like As, Mn, Al, Cr, Fe and Pb by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The concentration was found fluctuating due to the temperature variance in different season and observed mostly below the permissible limit and some time at various sites slightly high or equal to permissible limit of WHO and BIS. As and Mn observed about the maximum permissible level at Anolateshil in both the season respectively (0.01 mgL-1and0.50 mgL-1) and (0.013 mgL-1and0.54 mgL-1). Concentration of Mn was also observed highest at Faridpur in pre monsoon season (0.50mgL-1) whereas at Meerganj Al and Cr concentration observed nearby maximum permissible limit in both the season. Ground water of the study area in different tehsil’s of Bareilly can be used for drinking purpose after suitable treatment, constant monitoring of the trace elements concentrations in the surface water as well as comprehensive conservation efforts recommended should be taken by relevant organization.
