Andropause is a clinical and biochemical syndrome associated with advancing age in males and mainly characterized by a deficiency in serum (blood) androgen, mostly testosterone, levels. The condition is sometimes referred to as Androgen Decline in the Aging Male (ADAM), Partial Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (PADAM) or Aging Associated Androgen Deficiency (AAAD). Although the term andropause is used most often in the scientific literature, it is actually something of a misnomer because androgen releases never fully stops or "pauses" in the majority of aging men. A growing body of research suggests that DHEA can prevent or reverse the diseases that anti-aging experts have identified as the most prominent markers of accelerated aging: atherosclerosis (hardening and clogging o f the arteries), cancer, diabetes, and reduced immunity.Keywords

This study examines the impact of Weather factors on return and volatility of the Indian stock market. The study uses the daily data of top four metros and tests its impact on the return and volatility of S&P CNX Nifty index from January 2008 to December 2013. This study applies GARCH (1, 1) model and find that the stock returns are influenced by temperature in Chennai and the stock return volatility influenced by the temperature in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.Keywords

Blooms Taxonomy is a framework for classifying statements of what faculty expect or intend students to learn as a result of instruction. Bloom's Taxonomy provides an important framework for faculty to focus on higher order thinking, by providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can assist faculty in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring with students, and providing feedback on student work. Achieving higher order of learning in some courses is challenging task for a faculty so an effort is made in this course to how a remembering level concept can be taken to analyzing level through an open ended activity.
In a process manufacturing the variation occurs because of part to part variation and measurement variation in turn the measurement variation is due to operator involving in measurement (Reproducibility) or the variation due to the gage(Repeatability) and it is popularly known as Gage R&R so this concept, students study in the metrology and quality engineering subject which will be addressing only remembering level of blooms taxonomy so in order to give an experiential learning and in order to achieve higher level of blooms level an open ended activity is designed for IV sem B. E. Industrial and Production Engineering students how these concepts used in the industry I. e. Studying the gage R&R in "Metrology and Quality Engineering" laboratory using Measurement System Analysis (MSA) tool, wherein the students need to design an experiment in order to analyze the gage R&R in terms of the part to be required to measure the data, instruments to be used and number of data to be collected etc. After the collection of data, gage R&R (Repeatability and Reproducibility) has been analyzed using MINITAB software and the capability of gage to be inspected was assessed by the students. Through this open ended activity, the ABET 3b program outcome was measured and analyzed.
