Household duck rearing, mostly owned and managed by women and children, is an important means of reducing poverty in resource-poor household farmers with low income and livelihood conditions (Akteruzzaman et al., 2012).

Local (21%), pure bred" Sahiwal"(12%) and cross bred (L×F1; L×F2; L×F3; SL×F2>)(67%) were the breed of studied cows (n= 62).

Along with broilers, 35.4 million spent birds (27.4 million layers and 8.0 million breeders) are also being used at the end of egg production cycle contributing more than 46,000 metric tones of poultry meat per annum in Pakistan (Anonymous, 2009).

A total of 400 dairy cows each are equal number of Friesian x indigenous (FI), Sahiwal x indigenous (SaI), Sindhi x indigenous (SiI) and indigenous (I) were selected from eight thanas in Jessore district. The study found that the daily milk yield from FI, SaI, SiI and I cows were 8.39±2.01, 4.63±0.96, 4.35±1.12 and 2.38±0.73 liters, respectively.

Household poultry production system in many developing counties is mainly based on the scavenging indigenous chickens (Gallus domesticus).

On haematolo-ical examination, total erythrocyte count, haemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume were recorded to be normal in dog irrespective of types of breed except anaemia.

Accretion procedure of crimes and security breaches against the privacy of individual's information and their maintenance information systems has cost huge amount of financial and other resources loose. Consequently governments take serious actions toward approving protective legislation against cyber crimes and it will be duty of software developers to adopt policies and measures to ensure that their designed systems are compatible with existing laws and their amendments.

This paper presents an approach for scaling the retrieval of semantic workflow cases. Similarity-based graph-matching approaches have been used in our previous work for the retrieval of semantic workflows. However, their high computational complexity makes it difficult to scale the approach to case bases with a size of more than a few hundred cases. However, many application areas of semantic workflows like scientific workflows or cookery workflows involve a large amount of semantic workflows to be reused.

Unlike traditional workflows, such personal workflows aim at supporting processes that contain personal tasks and data.

An important objective in mobile communication systems is secure speech communication. GSM suffers from various security weaknesses. The GSM voice traffic is secure outside the core network but it has no security over the core network. This system can be made thoroughly secure by encrypting the speech which is to be transmitted on the GSM voice channel.

Although GSM's architecture is designed in such a way to provide various security features like authentication, data/signaling confidentiality, and secrecy of a user yet the GSM channel is susceptible to replay, interleaving and man-in-the-middle attacks. The GSM speech service is secure up to the point where speech enters the core network.

The paper also relates to contributions of some of Harlan D. Mills award recipients for software engineering achievement, to address the needs to: i) improve the engineering education in an academic setting, and ii) develop real-life software and system projects. In particular we present the experience of using theory and practice of software engineering education focusing on model and Web based software and systems development from both academic and real life perspective. Hybrid educational methods are applied for student learning that combine class room approach of teaching fundamental theoretical concepts and practice via real world complex projects embedding intelligence in software and systems products. System thinking demanded by modern design philosophies is applied to interlink products, software, and people. Student groups are developing their projects in an interactive and collaborative manner.

Secure software is about mitigating risks from assets to achieve business goals. Security is highly depending on the context where software is deployed. But measuring software security even within a specific context is still not mature. This is because properties and metrics for measuring security are not properly defined and methods are lacking to provide a complete picture for measuring software security. Here we identify security requirements through asset based risk management process to describe soft ware security goal. Then based on the Goal-Question-Metric approach the identified security requirements are evaluated for measuring software security.

Analysing relevant laws and aligning them with the system requirements is necessary for attaining compliance issues. But analyzing laws within the context of software system requirements is a difficult task, mainly because the concepts used in legal texts are different compared to the concepts used in requirements engineering. This paper contributes to that direction. In particular it presents a process to model and analyse laws and regulations and to support the elicitation of security requirements based on the relevant legal and system context. Finally a case study is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.

For this reason, information systems must be trustworthy and should comply with relevant laws and regulations. Legal issues should be incorporated into the system development process and there should be a systematic and structured assessment of a system's trustworthiness to fulfil relevant legal obligations. This paper presents a novel meta-model, which combines legal and trust related concepts, to enable information systems developers to model and reason about the trustworthiness of a system in terms of its law compliance. A case study is used to demonstrate the applicability and benefits of the proposed meta-model.

Despite this reliance, these systems are often unreliable, prone to errors, and pose vulnerabilities for potential security attacks. We are often faced with a choice between using a valuable (or even an essential) system, which is not fully trustworthy, or else forgoing the services it provides. Developing a trustworthy software system is a challenging task. The system's overall trustworthiness depends on trust relationships that ...
