The peak age of onset is in the childbearing age-group i.e., 19-44 years. Females with RA face difficulties at the time of conception, during pregnancy, and in the lactation period. Certain drugs used for the management of RA have deleterious effects on pregnancy outcomes. Thus, it is increasingly becoming a topic of concern as well as discussion for healthcare providers and medical professionals to guide the affected females in planning for pregnancy, safer pharmacotherapies, and to overcome the phobia related with their disease effects.

However, many disagreements and conflicts are very often leaded between peoples whose involve in software development, when they implement to it in the real world. This has been highly notable in the case of customer's complaints about faults in the software products. It is well known that many organizations or individuals are relishing many challenges to preserve software product quality, whenever they develop any types of software product. Appearance of defects is the very much contributor to reduce the product quality and prominently increases in development costs and completion time due to amendment and rework time. The success and demand of a software system is not only pivot on cost and proceedings, but also on software quality. In between many software quality features, to identify the vestigial defects in the product has become the actual industry standard. This paper is a study about software quality, software defect and how both are relate to each other and also discuss defect prediction is batter approach in compare defect correction to assure software product quality. We also discuss some data mining methodologies in brief; they are used to build defect prediction models to ensure the level of defect density of target program modules of software product.

With this analysis, for the very first time of the Middle East, in order to supply regular RHA, a specific furnace was designed as well as constructed. Afterwards, Efforts were made to figure out the optimum temperature as well as time period of burning up. Results indicate that temperature of 6500 centigrade as well as sixty minutes burning period are actually the very best combination. Subsequently different experiments had been carried away to establish attributes of concretes integrating the best possible RHA. These tests include compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modules of elasticity, fast chloride as well as water permeability permeability check. Results indicate that concrete including RHA had greater compressive strength, splitting tensile strength as well as modulus of elasticity from different ages in contrast to that of t...

The data has revealed that a higher proportion of females are chronically energy deficient than of males in the rural areas. The prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) has been reported in both poor and non-poor households. The incidence of illiteracy and non-enrolment in schools have been found higher in the poor households, whereas the rate of completion of schooling has been observed comparatively high in the non-poor households. The study has further indicated low stake of poor households in the management of rural organizations. The analysis of determinants of poverty has suggested that level of poverty could be reduced through higher investments for the improvement of educational and nutritional status of the rural poor as well as launching of more rural development programmes. The study has observed that targeting of rural poor households in formulating strategies and implement...

The paper deals with checking the design of lathe tool dynamometer under the capacity of 500 kg and optimization of their cutting force measurement. In this, mechanical gauges were replaced by resistance strain gauges which are being utilized to sense the cutting forces during machining and give the necessary information of cutting forces in terms of resistances which is the measure of cutting and feed forces. The data is obtained using technique of force measurement in metal machining processes. In particular for turning process the results are analyzed, leading to an appraisal of the current status of the cutting force measurements w.r.t. Feed rate, depth of cut and feed/revolution.

We adopt the emerging branch of linguistics, called cognitive analysis, and we also develop a semantic map in order to uncover the great ocean of metaphors in the poem. He is one of the few Middle-Eastern poets who write primarily in Spanish and English, leading the poetical new wave in Iran. One of the goals of the present study is to expose some of the implied meanings and ideological stances the poet adopted concerning the peace and also the linguistic choices he used to twist meanings and create environment for mystic thoughts. The present analysis disposes of different cognitive tools which, after being applied, show clearly how the poet aesthetically used different macro-structural and micro-structures devices to deliver his sincere call for the inner peace in the modern life.

SCM originated from MRP, followed by MRP-II. For an industry to be competitive, it needs to be agile that is, produce new products adequately, condusively, quickly and more imperatively the product should be an innovative and improved one. SCM is quite n proficient process of doing things systematically. During its implementation, some risks are always involved. Some of the critical risk factors involved are: supply risks, operational risks, demand risks, security risks, competitive risks, resource risk. The present study concentrates on study of these critical factors that are involved in implementation of SCM in manufacturing industry.

Law and rules against the environmental issues play very important role in the protection of the all-natural establishment and thus ultimately protect the public health. The emergence of public interest litigation in India has provided an important tool for the enforcement of the fundamental right to environmental protection. This liberalization of the traditional rules ensures the access to justice to everyone by writ jurisdiction system and has empowered the citizens to seek enforcement of environmental rights. Most importantly Supreme Court has enhanced the dimensions of the environmental laws by interpreting provisions of the constitution. A remarkable judicial activism and innovations has been noticed in the Indian judiciary where the Supreme Court, has established the right to a clean environment as an integral part of the right to life by making...

This account is pretty novel as it analyzes the prepositional phrases in a unified way, since it does not restrict itself to some simple spatial prepositions. Rather, the chosen approach accounts for both simple and complex spatial prepositions. Furthermore, there is a clear difference in spatial prepositions between Persian and Norwegian. In this study, some of the nuanced differences between Persian and Norwegian, when it comes to spatial prepositions, are offered. Moreover, it goes further than this, by analyzing whquestions responses in the form of spatial prepositions and shows the ungrammaticality of some of the answers by adhering to the principles stated in this novel approach. In this work, some important features of Persian and Norwegian spatial prepositions are further detailed which shows the rich internal structure of spatial preposition and its flexibility of movem...

The various properties of fly ash bricks with different materials were tested. The properties studied water absorption, hardness, efflorescence, soundness, shape and size, crushing strength and basic compressive strength of the prism using different mortar mixes normally 1: 3, 1: 4 and 1: 5 cement-sand mortars. In general bricks are made by top fertile agricultural soil but by using fly ash, 28 percent of top fertile agricultural soil is saved. Use of fly ash in brick making also is beneficial in diverse ways. As compared to conventional clay bricks fly ash bricks are stronger, more durable and yet more economical. Also, the process of fly ash brick manufacturing results in lesser pollution. Being less permeable as compared to clay bricks dampness related issues are far lesser in case of fly ash bricks than their clayey coun...

As energy is the major constraint in wireless sensor network these nodes are mostly organized into clusters to save energy. In this paper a modified approach for Stability Election Protocol called K-SEP is proposed which aimed at improving the stability period by balancing the energy consumption of the nodes. The proposed protocol uses K-means algorithm for uniform clustering and select cluster heads based on current energy levels and distance. Also transmission from cluster members to cluster head is made probabilistic. Simulation result shows that proposed protocol have better stability period than SEP.

Lots of research is done which have led to many new protocols where energy efficiency is an essential consideration. Clustering is a significant technique to reduce energy consumption. In this sensors are organized into groups, so that sensors transfer information only to cluster-heads and then the cluster-heads transfer the aggregated information to the base station. In this paper we have modified SEP(Stability Election Protocol) by presenting efficient cluster head selection scheme based on current energy level of sensor nodes and applying second selection to modify the number of cluster heads to be near optimal and then using dual transmitting power levels for cluster members.

The standard approach would be to maintain probability distributions over the set of potential opponent force distributions. However, that approach is not computationally feasible. In this paper, we discuss an alternative estimator which requires only a small fraction of the computational power of a laptop computer when operating on realistically-sized problems. The algorithm is developed, error bounds are obtained, and an example of the estimator operating in conjunction with an urban combat C2 simulator is presented.

However, the Christian community in the Middle East does not enjoy the same diversity as Christians enjoy in the West. In this study, we approach the Christian faith in Iran from the socio-linguistic perspective which can be further applied to the wider region because we observe the same trend in the region. We look at the role of language and its influence on the development of the religion. By conducting a qualitative/quantitative experiment, we delve into the main issues to highlight the reasons behind the apparent features of Middle-Eastern Christianity. Language identity is further investigated as it has an important place in the heart of the Christian faith in Iran. Armenian development and changes in Iran is considered since it is the working language of the Armenian Church in Iran. On the other hand, our study shows that religions, such as the Sikhism, that maintains a rather balanced linguistic identity, have m...

In our study, we examine the situation for Persian learners of Hausa. The results showed both transfer and inter-lingual errors. After analyzing the inter-lingual errors, we encountered with a distinct type of error, tense compounding error. Therefore, we could build up further the cognitive processing to see where and how this error occurs. From the teaching perspective, we analyzed the areas where errors occur more frequently and we introduced some teaching strategies to facilitate students learning. Furthermore, we contrasted the phonological system between Persian and Hausa to interpret the phonological errors and to find ways to deal with these errors. Keywords: cognitive processing, teaching, inter-lingual errors, error analysis, phonology, Persian, Hausa, Afro-Asiatic language
