STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COBALT DOPED TIO2 PREPARED BY SOLID STATE REACTION METHOD

Cobalt doped Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) were synthesized by a standard solid-state reaction method. The formation of the single-phase compound and its structural parameters were investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) followed by refinement using Xpowder and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques. A better agreement between the observed and calculated XRD patterns was obtained by performing the refinement with a structural model using the space group I 41/amd. SEM image shows a spherical uniform shape of the particles.

PRECONCENTRATION OF HEAVY MINERALS FROM BEACH AND DUNE SANDS BY USING ADVANCED AIR CYCLONE

This paper deals with the results of pre concentration studies to recover total heavy minerals from beach and dune sand samples collected from marine drive of Konark –Puri by using an advanced air cyclone in combination of Dry High Intensity Magnetic Separator (DHIMS). The sample contains 16.7% Total Heavy Minerals (THM) and 83.3% of light minerals. Out of 16.7% THM, pyriboles are about 0.32%.

YASMINE GOONERATNE'S A CHANGE OF SKIES: A STUDY IN DIASPORIC EXPERIENCE

Etymologically, the term ‘diaspora’ is derived from the Greek term ‘diasperien’. ‘Dia’ means ‘across’ and ‘sperien’ means ‘to sow or scatter seeds’. Currently, the term, ‘diaspora’ is referred to those displaced communities which have been dislocated from their homeland through migration, immigration or exile. They are the hordes of displaced persons and communities moving across the globe. ‘Diaspora’, therefore, suggests dislocation from a geographical location of origin and relocation in another territory or country.

IN-SILICO PROTEIN STRUCTURE PREDICTION:HOMOLOGY MODELLING-A REVIEW

Proteins are chains of amino acid joined by hydrogen bond. The linear chain forms secondary structures through hydrogen bond between amino acid in the linear chain. Through further interactions among amino acid groups the secondary structures fold to form three dimensional structures. Thus the structure of protein is largely determined by amino acid sequence. So efforts are made to predict the structure of protein.

APPRAISAL OF WATER AND SOIL QUALITY OF TAPI WITH REFERENCE TO HEAVY METAL SURAT, GUJARAT

In the present study heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb) were detected in water and soil taken from Tapi. Samples were collected monthly from three different stations for the periods of six months (July 2008 to Oct 2008).The present study is included the period before and after Ganpati visarjan. Heavy metals were determined using AAS according to Standard methods (APHA 2005).Concentration of heavy metals in water and soil was fluctuating with respect to temperature and pH.

FACTORS INFLUENCING SELECTION OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES - A CASE STUDY OF SURAT CITY

The growth of mutual funds has been phenomenal. The mobilization of funds by mutual funds has been on the rise since 1964. When mutual fund market was thrown open to the private sector in 1993, the corpus of mutual fund in India has swelled tremendously.

THREAT OF STRESS - STUDY OF FINANCIAL SECTOR EMPLOYEES

Stress in the work place has become an inevitable part of life in recent times. Organizational stress originates in organizational demands experienced by the individual. Although, it does have galvanizing effects to some extent making the life more challenging and charming; beyond a certain level, it leads to disturbances in personal as well as professional life. Organizations interested in building high performing culture need to examine the Organization Role Stress (ORS) patterns among their live wires – the employees; and come out with the remedial measures.
