COLLECTIVE ANIMAL BEHAVIOR ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER DISPATCH PROBLEM

This paper presents a collective animal behavior (CAB) algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer setting are taken as the optimization variables A meta heuristic algorithm for global optimization called the collective animal behavior (CAB) is introduced.

THE PROBLEM OF DISABILITY IN INDIA: HOW TO BE TACKLED

There have been efforts internationally to include children with disabilities in the educational mainstream. Geoff Lindsay (2007:1) suggests that ‘inclusive education/mainstreaming is the key policy objective for education of children and young people with disabilities’.

ENGENDERING THE PROFESSIONS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN

Today, we find an increasing number of women in various professions, including the so-called male-dominated professions like Engineering, Management, Finance, Police, Defense and so on. However, very few reach the highest ranks in the professions. ‘Higher the fewer’ appropriately describes the position of women in professions. The graph of their professional development and advancement is far from satisfactory. This is due to socio-cultural, psychological and professional barriers which they face. Several studies have pointed out the under-achievement of professional women.

PROBLEMS OF GRAMMAR TEACHING-LEARNING AND EFFECTIVE PROCEDURES/WAYS FOR TEACHING GRAMMAR

Because of the globalization and privatization, rapid changes are taking place in the world. That is why, the need to acquire proficiency in English has been felt more than ever before. Communication-written as well as oral has become very necessary for the learners of English as a second language. In that case, the role of grammar instruction in an ESL/EFL context has been for decades a major issue for students and teachers alike.

CINEMATIC REPRESENTATION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST NRI WOMEN WITH REFERENCE TO PROVOKED

The prospect of getting their daughters settled abroad and thereby themselves getting opportunities to migrate to foreign lands, still holds fascination for many Indian Families. Nevertheless this has often turned the dreams of many young Indian brides, lured into marital traps, into nightmares.

EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION AND PROFESSION IN BANGLADESH

Social Work is the profession committed to the pursuit of social justice, to the enhancement of the quality of life, and to the development of the full potential of each individual, group and organizations and communities. Founded on humanitarian and egalitarian ideals Social Work has achieved profession status proving its skills by engaging in a broad range of activities within many types of settings and within many different people.

HEXAMINE AS CORROSION INHIBITOR FOR ZINC IN (HNO3 + HCL) BINARY ACID MIXTURE

The corrosion of zinc in binary acid mixture (HNO3 + HCl) containing Hexamine has been studied at different acid concentrations, inhibitor concentration and temperatures. As the concentration of acid increases corrosion loss and I.E. (Inhibition efficiency) increases. As the concentration of inhibitor increases I.E. also increases. As temperature  increases  corrosion loss increases while percentage of I.E. decreases.

CLIMATE AND LAND USE/ LAND COVER CHANGE STUDIES IN SURANGI DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI (U.T)

The climate and Land Use/Land Cover maps have the capacity to illustrate the interaction between humans and the surroundings and are also available to see different conditions in the same or similar environments. Surangi village of Dadra & Nagar Haveli (UT) study is used to produce Land Use/Land Cover maps, which show environmental and geological characteristics. The major objective of this research was to produce and compares climate and Land Use/Land Cover specific maps for the land around 5 km radial distance.

COASTAL DYNAMICS AND SHORELINE MAPPING: MULTI SOURCES SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS IN LE MORNE (MAURITIUS ISLAND)

The shoreline erosion is considered to be one of the major environmental problems in the south east and south west part of Mauritius coast. Shoreline mapping provides a means of monitoring shoreline-change, which is very essential for coastal planning and decision-making.

ESTIMATION OF CRYSTALLITE SIZE BY XRD ANALYSIS OF AS SYNTHESIZED BI2S3 BY CONVENTIONAL HIGH TEMPERATURE SOLID STATE SOLVOTHERMAL ROUTE

Bismuth sulfide chalcogenide was successfully synthesized inside the ampoule by conventional high temperature solid state solvothermal reaction of bismuth and sulfur. It was prepared by adjusting stoichiometric amount of the bismuth and sulfur heated in evacuated sealed quartz ampoule at 850 °C for 12h. Based on XRD principles, numerous approaches such as use of Scherrer equation, Hall – Williamson method for crystallite size estimation of  Bi2S3  powder.
