Arabic language is one of the international languages, because it has Teaching vocabulary involves far more than looking up words in a dictionary and using the words in a sentence. Vocabulary is acquired incidentally through indirect exposure to words and intentionally through explicit teaching in specific words and word-learning strategies. Teaching grammar plays an essential role in every classroom. We might think that teaching grammar is just a matter of explaining grammar rules to students. Indeed, teaching grammar effectively is a much more complicated matter. As far as the teaching reading is concerned, everyday materials such as bus/train schedules, newspaper articles, advertisements, etc. become appropriate classroom materials. Reading such materials will develop communicative competence among the students. Change has been taking place due to technological developments, from pen and paper, to typewriter, to word processor, to networked computer, to design software capable of composing words, images, and sounds. These developments not only expanded the types of texts that writers produce, they also expanded immediate access to a wider variety of readers. Hence writing is an increasingly multifaceted activity. It needs to be practiced consistently in order to become a good writer. Hence, this paper attempts at explaining some methods involving in teaching vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing as they are essential parts of language teaching at every level.Keywords

Twenty-four Pleistocene-Holocene deepwater benthic foramimferal species were identified based upon taxonomic criteria from a 26 m core sample collected during Academik Aleksandr Sidorenko cruise. The quantitative data of benthic foraminifera) taxa is treated statistically using multi vanate (both factor and cluster) techniques to understand the relationship between species assemblages and environmental parameters. The temporal distribution of samples in cluster II closely coincides with the distribution of higher loading values of factor 1 Similar associations were identified for cluster III with factor 2 and cluster IV with factor 3. However the faunal relative abundances along with %. Total Organic Content (TOC) values broadly divides the core into two environmentally significant zones viz, Zone 1 (between 1322 6m and 1321 6 m) which is characterised by high abundance of Cassiduhna cannata followed by Pullenia bulloides and Hoeglundina elegans having positive relationship with low TOC values ranging from 0 12 to 1 14 and Zone 2 (between 1321 6m and 1320 1 m), which is characterised by high percentages of TOC values ranging from 1 32 to 2 52, whereas Buhmina aculeata shows maximum abundance followed by Bohvina robusta, Cibiadoides kullenbergi and Osangulana culter, suggesting that these species prefer high nutrient environment.Keywords

Automatic modulation recognition for software defined radio (SDR) is a research focused on developing 3G and 4G wireless communications with adaptive modulation capability. The existing automatic modulation recognition technology does not satisfy the seamless demodulation requirement of the SDR. The design of automatic modulation recognition method with reduced computational complexity and fast processing speed is needed. The radio systems are increasingly incorporating dynamically configurable software into software defined radio (SDR) design. The ability to change software after manufacture makes SDR a perfect platform for designing Cognitive Radio (CR). The equipment must handle higher channel densities and must meet a high-availability standard to provide uninterrupted service. In addition, the equipment will be flexible to accommodate various air protocols. The statistical performance of the fast automatic modulation recognition associated with its implementation using the SDR is discussed in this work.Keywords

Thermo-mechanical finite element analysis has been performed to assess the residual stress in the butt weld joints of aluminium Alloy AA7075 plates by utilizing the commercial software package ABAQUS. This paper presents an efficient FE technique using equivalent load to precisely predict welding deformations and residual stresses in butt joints. The radial heat flux distribution is considered on the top surface of the weldment. Convective and radiative heat losses are taken into account through boundary conditions for the outward heat flux. Linear FE transient thermal analysis is performed using surface heat source model with Gaussian distribution to compute highest temperature in AA7075 plates. The objective of this project is to simulate the welding process by using the finite element method. After the model is built and verified, the main objective of this project is to study the effects of varying the welding process parameters on the thermo-mechanical responses. In addition to that, the aim of this research is also to find a relationship between welding parameters and the responses of single pass butt welding are evaluated through the finite element analysis. The study of this paper covers the effects of varying heat input, welding speed on the thermo-mechanical responses of the weldment after cooling down to room temperature.Keywords

Gliotoxin is a potent antibiotic showing antifungal activity against various phytopathogenic fungi. It is produced by Q strains of Trichoderma virens and gliotoxin non-producing strains of T. virens are designated as P strains. There is no detailed study on effect of gliotoxin on suppression of damping off of tomato caused by Pythium aphanidermatum and its phytotoxicity effect on tomato plants. Thus, the present study was carried out to assess the effect of gliotoxin on inhibition of mycelial growth of P. aphanidermatum, its phytotoxicity effect on tomato and its role on the suppression of damping off of tomato. Culture filtrates of Q strains of T. virens containing gliotoxin highly inhibited the mycelial growth of P. aphanidermatum compared to that of P strains of T. virens. Purified gliotoxin but not bis-thiomethyl gliotoxin effectively inhibited the mycelial growth of P. aphanidermatum. Tomato seeds treated with purified gliotoxin did not inhibit the germination of seeds, its ischolar_main and shoot length even at higher concentration that is at 1000 ppm (fivefold inhibitory concentration against P. aphanidermatum). Foliar spray of gliotoxin on tomato plants did not show any phytotoxic effect at lower concentration but showed scorching effect at higher concentration. Seed treatment with gliotoxin producing Q strains of T. virens showed greater suppression of damping-off tomato compared to P strains of T. virens. This study clearly showed that gliotoxin producing T. virens could be used in suppression of damping-off disease incidence in tomato.

Outlier detection based on region is a very useful safety strategy for wireless sensor networks with a high number of scattered nodes. Developing a more effective outlier detection system in WSNs can ensure that data packets are successfully transmitted without loss or corruption. The Evolutionary Game- based Secured Clustering Protocol (EGSCP) has been created for the existing system. Those research approaches, however, failed to discover outlier activities when area leaders behave as malevolent nodes or are compromised by hackers. This is addressed in this work by introducing a novel mechanism for the reliable detection of outlier behaviors, namely Region-Based Secured Data Transmission Protocol (RSDTP). The proposed research approach ensures private rule sharing by introducing the Privacy position-aware Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which use group public keys of intra-region leaders to create group signatures that are shared by all members of the region which also makes it impossible to know exact positions of area members. Thus, sharing private rules can be guaranteed while using group signatures. This study leverages Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgment, which checks for the existence of hostile nodes before rule sharing, to enable secure rule sharing. This would take place during intraregional leaders' rule-sharing sessions. To optimize memory storage and address bandwidths/memory concerns, the rule set aggregations are executed in this study following secure rule set transfers between intra and inter-region leaders. NS2 simulations have been used for evaluations of the proposed Region-Based Secured Data Transmission Protocol (RSDTP) approach for attaining effective non-hazardous, safe, and reliable data transport processes.Keywords

In Tamil Nadu state, Thoothukudi district ranked second in banana production and especially the Tamirabarani tract of Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli districts are known for the production of various banana cultivars like Rasthali, Andhra Kozhi, Karpooravalli, Neypoovan, Poovan, Peyan and Chakkai. Among these varieties, cultivation of Rasthali faces 50-60% yield loss due to the incidence of Fusarium wilt disease. As the farmers have been practising ratooning for 6-7 year continuously which enhances the inoculum load of the pathogen and make the plantains succumb to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc). Studies carried out on different treatments in the management of Fusarium wilt of banana, Trichoderma sp. Tsp1(ALG) showed a maximum reduction of mycelial growth of Foc (72.18%) over control which was on par with Pseudomonas fluorescence 1(Pf1). Under pot culture conditions the combination of three treatments, Tsp1(ALG)+Pf1+ neem cake excelled and showed an 80% reduction of wilt incidence. A multifaceted approach comprising the application of biocontrol agents (Trichoderma sp.) + Pseudomonas sp. 1 (TNAU) and organic amendments was found to be the best management practice in containing the wilt.Keywords
