In this research, we investigated Calcium (Ca) and L-Histidine (His) interaction on Nickel-induced oxidative stress tolerance in two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars including Cal-J N3 and Petoearly CH. For this, we compared CaCl2 (0 and 300 µM) and L-Histidine (0 and 300 µM) effects on the oxidative responses in these cultivars cultured in the hydroponic media under Ni stress (NiSO4; 0,150 and 300 µM). Activities of antioxidative enzymes including Catalase (CAT), Guaiacol Peroxidase (GPX), Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and content of total Protein, Malondialdehyde (MDA), other Aldehydes, H2O2, Ca2+, Ni2+, Ascorbate (ASC), Dehydroascorbate (DHA) and electrolytes leakage (EL) were determined. Results showed that Ca and His reduced generally oxidative markers such as EL, H2O2, MDA and CAT activity, root and shoot Ni2+ content under Nickel toxicity while Ni alone increased these oxidative parameters and Ni2+ accumulation compared to the control. Ni-applications without Ca and His decreased GPX, APX, SOD activities, root and shoot Ca2+, ASC in the cultivars. Ca and His elevated Ca2+, ASC content, GPX, APX, SOD activities and inhibit Ni2+ accumulation differently in both cultivars. Ca and His also alleviated the adverse effects of Ni stress on all parameters especially in Petoearly CH cultivar. Thus, Ca and His interaction appeared to improve adaptive responses to Ni stress leading to decreasing Ni-induced oxidative stress in the tomato plants. Therefore, our results suggest that Ca and His alleviate Nickel-induced oxidative stress by Ni2+ uptake and translocation inhibition and also Ni chelating mechanism promoting in the tomato cultivars.

The feeding sequence and the initial concentration ratio of reactants were varied in order to investigate their influence on decreasing mean particle size and morphology of BaSO4 particles in a semi-batch stirred-tank reactor. The experiments were carried out via a simple precipitation reaction of sodium sulfate with barium chloride in a semi-batch reactor. Either BaCl2 or Na2SO4 as a limiting reactant of concentration 0.1 M was added to the tank containing the opposite component at a concentration from 0.1 to 1.6 M. The samples were characterized with particle size analyzer (PSA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that varying ionic ratios (Ba2+ to SO4 2- (R)) leads to a significant change in particle size. The impact of feeding sequence (BaCl2 or Na2SO4) was generally rather small.

Today’s modern world has numerous targets to be completed where the clock dial is shortened. People are having and different attitude and behaviour in the way they deal with the problem and providing the solutions. The culture place a major role in which the people are grown with different Ego and Super Ego stages that helps in molding the attitude which shapes the social Intelligence behaviour. The Conflict arises when one thought process is been rejected or unacknowledged in due acceptance. The arise of conflict reason when one needs is not fulfilled by the other. Conflict can be also termed as a personal or group orientation, such as interpersonal, intrapersonal, intergroup and intragroup conflict (Rahim, 2001)1. My study focus on the IT and ITES employees on Emotional Intelligence with the conflict management in Coimbatore Region. The present study evaluates the EI and conflict patterns among the employees. The questionnaire used in the study to measure the conflict style is “Conflict Resolution Questionnaire “(CRQ) presented by weeks (1994)2 and fisher and Ury (1991)3 and to measure the Emotional Intelligence (WLEIS scale) presented by Wong and Law (2002) [12]. The respondents were selected using convenient sampling. The respondents selected where the employees of IT and ITES people in Coimbatore region. The collected data is studied through the Statistical Tools using SPSS. Hypothesis where framed to test the conflict styles among the respondents. \nThe result has shown difference among the respondents on the Level of Emotional Intelligence and conflict Styles. The study shows the factors on demographic various in the conflict Resolution and few insights had been derived from the research work. The study recommends on experimental design which helps in to find methods to resolve the conflict in an innovative way.

A low profile, compact slotted patch antenna has been designed using finite element method based high frequency full-wave electromagnetic simulator. The proposed antenna fabricated using LPKF printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication machine on fiberglass reinforced epoxy polymer resin material substrate and the performance of the prototype has measured in a standard far field anechoic measurement chamber. The measured impedance bandwidths (Reflection coefficient <-10 dB) 1.9 GHz (14.3-16.2 GHZ), 1.5 GHz (17.4-18.9 GHz) and 0.6 GHz (19.2-19.8) have achieved from the proposed antenna prototype. Maximum gains of 9.4 dBi, 6.87 dBi and 6.82 dBi have measured and simulated radiation efficiencies 80.3%, 81.9% and 82.5% have achieved at three resonant frequencies 15.15 GHz, 18.2 GHz and 19.5 GHz respectively. Minimum gain variation, symmetric and almost steady measured radiation pattern shows the proposed antenna is suitable for Ku and K band satellite applications.

Although developing strategic and operational plans is a difficult and complicated process, their successful implementation is much more difficult. Many organizations fail in the full implementation of their strategies. This is not due to the partial definition of strategies and organization’s operational plan, but this is likely due to the lack of strong framework for creating alignment between employees and operational process and the organizational goals. To implement strategies effectively and to develop a comprehensive management system and to improve the performance, Robert Kaplan and David Norton introduced a modern management system which is Balanced ScoreCard. Likewise they introduced five main criteria: leadership, translation, alignment, every day process and ongoing process for a strategy oriented organization. This paper is intended to offer a systematic approach for measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the strategic plan performance. For this study the questionnaire was distributed in a project- orientated service organization and after collection, by the use of statistical.\nAnalysis especially factor analysis the grouping of sub-criteria under the five main criteria was confirmed. The statistical analysis showed that, two criteria of alignment and every day work had the lowest scores in terms of both implementation and effectiveness in the organization’s senior and executive manager’s point of view. With deep interview, studying of scorecards and meeting of the strategic committee of the studied organization, the two dimension of alignment and every day work were further examined and after identifying upgradeable areas, some suggestions for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the studied organization were presented.
