<#LINE#>Assessment of the Microbial Growth and Chemical Changes in Beef and Lamb Meat Collected from Supermarket and Shop during Summer and Winter Season<#LINE#>Al-Jasass@FahadMohammed<#LINE#>20-27<#LINE#>3.ISCA-RJRS-2012-410.pdf<#LINE#> King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology,  General Directorate of Research Grants, P.O. Box 6086, Riyadh11442, SAUDI ARABIA<#LINE#>5/11/2012<#LINE#>28/11/2012<#LINE#>  Spoilage of meat has remained a serious challenge in developing countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the beef and lamb meat quality from supermarkets and shops in summer and winter season.  Beef and lamb meat were stored at 4±1C during 5 days and test for microbiological properties, oxidation stability, and color properties, in beef and lamb meat.   Samples were collected from supermarkets and shops during the summer and winter seasons to determine variation in the microbial load, chemical, and color characteristics. On day zero the total viable cell counts, Pseudomonas, Streptococcus fecal, coliform fecal, Staphylococcus, and Staphylococcus aureus in beef and lamb meat samples collected from shops were higher than those found in the samples collected from supermarkets.  Viable cell count, Pseudomonas, Streptococcus fecal, coliform fecal Staphylococcus, and Staphylococcus aureus in beef and lamb meat collected in winter season at day 0 were significantly lower than in summer samples. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in beef and lamb meat samples collected from supermarket in winter season were lower than those of the samples collected in summer season.  TBARS in beef and lamb samples collected from small shop in winter season were lower than those of the samples collected in summer season.  Lightness, redness, and yellowness in beef and lamb meat collected in the winter and summer seasons from supermarkets and shop were decreased during storage time.  This study proved that the storage temperature, season, sources of meat affect significantly in meat quality. <#LINE#> @ @ Olaoye O.A. and Onilude A.A., Investigation on the potential use of biological agents in the extension of fresh beef in Nigeria., World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnol, 26, 1445–1454 (2010) @No $ @ @ Lorenzo J.M. and Gómez M., Effect of packaging conditions on shelf-life of fresh foal meat, Meat Sci., 91, 513-520 (2012) @No $ @ @ Gram L.,  Ravn L., Rasch M.,  Bruhn J.B., Christensen A.B., and Givskov M.,  Food spoilage- interaction between food spoilage bacteria,  International Journal of Food Microbiology, 78, 79-97 (2002) @No $ @ @ Anzai Y., Kim H., Park J. and Wakabayashi H., Phylogenetic affiliation of the Pseudomonads based on 16S rRNA sequence, International Journal of System Evolution Microbiology, 50, 1563–89 (2000) @No $ @ @ Vercellotti J.R., Angelo A.J.

As far as the first objective is concerned, CAMEL approach has been used over a period of twelve years (2000-2011), and it is established that private sector banks are at the top of the list, with their performances in terms of soundness being the best. Public sector banks like Union Bank and SBI have taken a backseat and display low economic soundness in comparison. On the other hand, the present study makes an attempt to measure the efficiency change of these selected banks operating in India during 2010-2012. By using frontier based non-parametric technique, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA),  provides significant insights on efficiency of different banks and places private sector ones at an advantage situation and thereby hints out the possibility of further improvisation of most of the public sector banks. DEA results exhibit that among the public sector banks, the performance of Bank of India, Canara Bank and Punjab National Bank got dampened in the last two years under study where as among the private sector banks, except the case for Axis Bank which was not found to be satisfactory at all, the remaining private sector banks shows marked consistency at their efficiency level during the period under study. <#LINE#> @ @ Prasad K.V., Ravinder N.G. and Maheshwari Reddy D., A CAMEL Model Analysis of Public and Private Sector Banks in India, Journal of Banking Financial Services and Insurance Research, 1(5) (2011) @No $ @ @ Chowdhury Subroto, An Inquiry Into The Financial Soundness of Commercial Banks in India Using the ‘CAMEL’ Approach, Journal of Banking Financial Services and Insurance Research, 1(7) (2011) @No $ @ @ Manoj P.K., Financial Soundness of Old Private Sector Banks (OPBs) in India and Benchmarking the Kerala Based OPBs: A ‘CAMEL’ Approach, American Journal of Scientific Research, 11 (2010) @No $ @ @ Reddy D., Maheshwara and K.V.N.

Daily increase of urban traffic and emission of various pollutants has confronted the human to severe environmental problems, so that, it’s effects are evident in the areas of physical health, psychological and economical losses. So, in order to reach to sustainable development and having clean air and transportations, we need a means to investigate the projects which are related to transportations with sufficient accuracy and numerically. In this study, the analysis and modeling of PM10, O and CO pollutants concentrations was investigated in Tehran. Parameters affecting the concentration of pollutants was specified according to weather and traffic statistics and the relation between various variables such as transportation, precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature and also relation between humidity and air pollution was investigated and finally, a model was presented according to regression method which will be capable to estimate the concentration of PM10, O and CO pollutants in city streets with appropriate accuracy for future years. one of applications of this model is assessment  and prediction of production factors of these pollutants for manage and control tools. <#LINE#> @ @ Chouhan A., Iqbal S., Maheshwari R.S. and Bafna A., Study of air pollution tolerance Index of plants growing in Pithampur Industrial area sector 1, 2 and 3, Res.J.Recent Sci., 1(ISC-2011) , 172-177 (2012) @No $ @ @ Kavuri N.C. and Paul K.K., Chemical Characterization of Ambient Pm10 Aerosol in a Steel City, Rourkela, India,Res.

This leads to the applications in electrochromic display devices, optical memories, gas sensors and lithium batteries. The substochiometric films MoO3-x with oxygen deficient contain excess metal atoms which act as doping centers; these centers control the electrical and optical film properties. The orthorhombic phase (-MoO) has a layered structure, which consists of double layers of MoO octahedra held together by covalent forces in the (100) and (001) directions but by Van der Waals forces in the (010) direction. There are several approaches to prepare MoO thin films including sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, electro-deposition and evaporation. In particular, chemical vapor deposition has been regarded as a suitable technique which could induce a homogeneous thin film using vaporized phases. Crystalline molybdenum oxide presents either an orthorhombic structure (-phase) or a monoclinic structure (-phase) of the perovskite-like type; both structures are essentially built up of corner-sharing MoO octahedra. A layered oxygen deficient orthorhombic MoO (-phase) and monoclinic MoO (-phase) are found to exhibit optical switching upon thermal, photo or electric excitations. This optical modulation (colouration/bleaching) is effectively used in many applications like smart windows, anti dazzling coatings and display devices. Thus the synthesis of large area Mo-oxide thin films by an economical route and the structure tailoring of deposited material for the end application seems to be of prime importance.  This paper deals with the detailed technological aspects of properties, different structures of MoOfor the fabrication of all solid state lithium ion batteries with wide applications of MoOfilms as electrochromic display devices and gas sensors.  <#LINE#> @ @ Mahajan S.S., Mujawar S.H., Shinde P.S., Inamdar A.I. and  Patil P.S., Concentration Dependent Structural, Optical and Electrochromic Properties of MoO Thin Films, Int.

Data by itself is meaningless unless it is transformed into information by putting it into a meaningful context. Images are also defined by data accumulated by quantification of color intensities of pixels. Either the values of the pixels form patterns or the arrangement of pixels form patterns. Various statistical and probabilistic models have been employed by the researchers to extract interesting information from data. Also the pattern recognition problems are divided into two levels termed as generic and specific. In this piece of work we identify problems from both these domains of pattern recognition. This comprehensive survey not only provides a tutorial on the probabilistic and neuro-cognitive techniques used for this purpose but it also explores monumental issues in the domain. <#LINE#> @ @ Hasti T., Tibshirani R. and Friedman J., The Elements of Statistical Learning, Springer-Verlag, (2000) @No $ @ @ Mohamadian Zahra, Image Duplication Forgery Detection using Two Robust Features, Res.

Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the problems of power quality in the power systems in order to improve it. For improving these parameters a Unified Power Flow Controller is designed and simulated in multi-machine power system. The on-line designed process is based on PWM method which all the power quality parameters can be improved. In the proposed control method, the harmonic distortion of the system is decreased and the voltage oscillations of the DC capacitor will be improved. Simulations that are done by the PSCAD/EMTDC software show the effectiveness and precision of this designing.Also the experimental results are compared with the simulation results. From the results, it observed that the experimental results closely agree with the simulation results.  <#LINE#> @ @ Ivedu Y., A UPFC–Based Voltage Compensator with Current and Voltage Balancing Function, IEEE Press 27, 425-443 (2012) @No $ @ @ Soto–sahchez D.E. and Green T.C., Voltage Balance and Controlling Multi Level–Unified Power Flow Controller, IEEE Trans. on Power Delivery, 16(4), 732-738 (2011) @No $ @ @ Song Y.H. and Xiao Y., Available Transfer Capability Enhancement using FACTS Devices, IEEE Trans. on Power System,18(1),  305-312 (2004) @No $ @ @ Hosseini S.H. and Ajami A., Voltage Regulation and Transient Stability Enhancement of a Radial AC Transmission System using UPFC, IEEE Annual conference Industrial Electronics Society, 2, 1150-1154 (2005) @No $ @ @ RTD Studies in Plug Flow Reactor and its Simulation with Comparing Non Ideal Reactors Kanse Nitin G. and Dawande S.D., Res.J.Recent Sci.,1(2), 42-48 (2012) @No $ @ @ Noroozian M., Angquist L., Ghandhari M. and Andersson G., Use of UPFC for Optimal Power Flow Control, IEEE Trans. on Power Delivery, 12(4),  1629-1634 (1997) @No $ @ @ On the Energy Estimation of Lightning Discharge Paras Manoj Kumar and Rai Jagdish, Res.J.Recent Sci.,1(9), 36-40 (2012) @No $ @ @ Gyugyi L., Schauder C.D., Williams S.L., Reitman T.R., Torgerson D.R. and Edris A., The Unified Power Flow Controller: A New Approach to Power Transmission Control, IEEE Trans. on Power Delivery, 10(2), 1085-1097 (1995) @No $ @ @ Nabavi-Niaki A. and Iravani M.R., Steady State and Dynamic Models of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) for Power System Studies, IEEE Trans. on Power Systems, 11(4), 1937-1943 (1996) @No $ @ @ A.

To create a correct construction and maintain environment, materials and technologies used in buildings play an important role. To select sustainable materials and to use appropriate technology in design and construction of hotels provide more health for environment. Since these materials lead to decrease in fuel consumption to heat buildings and decrease in infusion of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. As a result, using natural resources decreases and the society approaches to the criteria of sustainability. In the other hand, by permanent increase of the inflation over the energy price, hotel officials try to provide strategies to decrease energy expenses without guess satisfying, Such as to control extra heating and to use it for supplying the needed heat in the hotel. But modern methods actualize to optimize the energy consumption. Thus, identifying and examining new methods and patterns of optimizing energy consumption is the main subject of present study in the area of sustainable architecture; these methods include using nanotechnology in constructing materials to remove destructive effects on urban environment, green roof system and double skin facade to prevent energy loss in hotels, using new smart glasses to generate urban buildings consuming energy by sun light. <#LINE#> @ @ Davarinejad M. and Mabout M., Strategies to Optimize Energy Consumption in the Building by Sustainable Architecture Approach, The First Conference of Sustainable Architecture, Hamedan: Technical Training Institute, (2009) @No $ @ @ Bahreyni S.H., Sustainable Urban Development: from Thought to Action, Environmental Studies Monthly 1(27),41-60 (2001) @No $ @ @ Azizi M.M., Sustainable Residential District; a Case Study: Narmak, Fine Arts Journal, 1(27), 35-46 (2006) @No $ @ @ Barrow C.J., Sustainable development: concept, value and practice, Twpr, 370-375 (1995) @No $ @ @ Roseland M., dimension of eco-city, cities, 197 (2003) @No $ @ @ Saberifar R., Urban Sustainable Development.
