Abstract: The Kazakh language historical friend considered Turkic studies before turkic pore and nowadays Turkic language establishes a connection memorizes. The history of language on direction of question living on easy street scientists of Kazakh K. Zhubanov, S. Amanzholov, Y. Kenesbaev, Т. Kordabaev, Y. Zhubanov, R. Syzdykova, S. Isaev, G. Kaliev break a secret labors of scientists. Kazakh literary language is history lives on easy street touching opinion one side, and Kazakh language historical friend is deeply denies. History of language G. Kasymova offered program living on easy street scientist and published textbook. We have minded that the linguistics relooks and periodization linguistic problems in world Turkish monuments should be by control. We notice, that scientists, that was come into question by the articles, and any historically periodization. As monuments of Turkish was general so periodization linguistically of history language and believe that it is aim. The history of language through information on writing monuments has new periodization linguistic pore. Therefore, the periodization Kazakh literary languages could be optimized by the application of the developed simulation model.

The  Radiant Manager?...(A New theory on “ Scientific Management module”)

Abstract: This Scientific research article attempts to accommodate thousands of confused management theories and Principles within THREE-IN-ONE base frame called “Standard Scientific Management Module” or “J-CODE”.

Creativity needs management skill?... This article emphasize that creativity needs “Radiant Skill” rather than Managerial Skill which focus only on productivity. This article focus that the “Radiant Manager” shall be considered as referred to “CREATOR” who is distinguished from conventional “MANAGER”, “LEADER” and “RULER”. Further it is emphasized that standard scientific module shall mean identifying the characteristics and behavior of fundamental particles PHOTON, ELECTRON, PROTON emanated from J-Radiation. Further the whole process of management Philosophy shall be considered accommodated within fundamental “Three-in-one Domain”. The goal of creativity shall be considered as providing PEACE rather than productivity which aims to focus COMFORT. “ARTS, SCIENCE, INTUITION shall be considered as THREE-IN-ONE fundamental domain of Creativity”.

ABSTRACT: Pakistan is facing severe shortage of edible oil. Sunflower can be a good alternative for fulfilling oil requirement due to its ideal characteristics. Seed priming is a technique which is used to decrease the harmful effects of different abiotic factors and to increase the seed germination and crop production. It was indicated from emergence index that high value of SCA for a single cross A6.12124×A11.8 and lowest value for a single cross, A6.12124×A6.5 was reported under 1.50% seed priming level of calcium chloride. A2.2×A6.5 showed the highest specific combining ability while A2.2×A11.8 showed the poorest specific combining ability under normal condition while higher value for specific combining ability of a sing cross A2.2×A6.5 was recorded and poorest value of combining ability of A2.2×A6.5 was observed under 2.50% level of seed priming. It was suggested that A6.1238 among the parents while A6.12124×A6.5, C2.1818×A6.5, A2.2×A6.5 and B2.1×C2.21 among the hybrids may be used to select for development of drought and saline tolerant genotypes with better germination.

Abstract: In this project, the author will be particularly stressing upon education as a social institution. Education is the cornerstone in any human society which along with socialization marks the emergence of the young people into adulthood. In preliterate societies, the family and kin networks furnish the educational requirements of the people. In many tribes there were special clubs or societies where the adolescents receive training in the various aspects of life such as hunting, warfare, dance and music, polity and trade. In more complexes, large-scale agrarian societies of the past such as those of Greece, Rome and India, education became a more formal affair.

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of severe infections in both hospitals and community with high morbidity and mortality rates. Add to that, the extensive use of antimicrobial drugs has led to the widespread emergence of resistant bacterial strains and appearance of multidrug resistant bacteria like methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The shortage of antimicrobial strategy as a therapy necessitated to search for an alternative therapeutic tools. In the present study, we examined the antibiotic effect on 20 staphylococcal clinical isolates combined with Sub-Lethal Doses (SLD) of ozone. Ozone (O₃) was generated using Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) system. The discharge system was found to be efficient in ozone generation where ozone was generated in the discharge filaments via electron impact. Ozone concentrations from 0.5 to 45 gm/cm³ were detected at very low consumed electric power from 1 to 20 W. Almost no survival of bacterial cells were detected after being treated with O₃ concentration 4 g/m^3, flow rate 0.1 l/min at 37 °C for 2.5 min. we used O₃ SLD for MRSA and methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) treatment and investigated the interrelation for MSSA isolates and inconsequent for MRSA. We also studied the effect of SLD on bacterial biofilm formation by investigating ultra-structure with scanning electron microscope. Our study prove a synergistic effect between O₃ exposure and antibiotic treatment for MSSA infection as well as attenuation of biofilm formation and we speculate our primary investigation to be a core for new strategy for staphylococcal infection therapy.

Abstract: The main element of just-in-time production system is kanban and the number of kanban influences the product inventory level. This research studies the cellular manufacturing system (CMS) controlled by kanban mechanism which defective items are produced in any production run of each product and rework is carried out to transform them into serviceable items. In each cycle after the normal production of each product the machine is setup for the rework process. In this paper, an mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model in order to minimize total cost was developed to determine number of kanban, batch size, and number of batches. A simulated annealing (SA) algorithm as a meta-heuristic method to avoid the large computational time in optimal solution is developed for solving a large MINLP. Some problems are solved by SA and it is shown that the SA algorithm is an efficient method for solving the proposed model.

Abstract: Corncob residues are usually dumped and flared on the farms, where they constitute health risk to both human and ecology. Densification of corncobs would improve their bulk handling, transportation and storage properties. This work investigated densification characteristics of corncobs using an experimental briquetting machine. Raw corncobs were milled into particles by a hammer mill. The blends of ground corncob and cassava starch gel were compacted in a 4-compartment briquetting machine, which operates on hydraulic principle with a dwell time of 120 seconds. The ASAE standard methods were used to determine the moisture contents (dry basis) and densities of the milled residues and briquettes, while ASTM standard methods were used to determine the proximate and ultimate analyses of the residues. The compaction, density and relaxation ratios of the briquettes were also determined. The mechanical properties were determined using instron universal testing machine, while the heating value was determined with the aid of Gallen Kamp Ballistic Bomb calorimeter.  The mean moisture content of the corncob was 9.64 %, while the relaxed briquette was 7.46 %. The corresponding value of bulk density of the residue material was 95.33 kg/m³. The initial, maximum and relaxed densities of produced briquette were 193; 757 and 389 kg/m³ respectively, while the density, compaction and relaxation ratios of the briquette were 0.77, 4.38 and 1.71 respectively. The compressive strength of briquette was 2.34kN/m², while the higher heating value of briquettes was found to be 20,890kJ/kg. The study concluded that the densification and fuel parameters were good enough and that briquettes produced from corncob would make good biomass energy.

Abstract: Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has been used as a basic discipline in education to provide answers to questions about the relationships between language, society, power, identity, ideology, politics, and culture. Van Dijk (1997) being a leading figure of this field, has defined critical discourse studies as a new multidisciplinary discipline for the analysis of text and talk in the humanities and social sciences. CDA aims at examining the dominant culture in a society to discover the mechanisms that have made that culture dominant, and to criticize of those mechanisms. The utmost objective of any CDA study is to unravel the underlying hidden agenda which is left implicit in the discourse. This paper aims to provide a concise overview about CDA, its definition, and some CDA frameworks. In this regard, four basic CDA frameworks proposed by Van Leeuwen, Van Dijk, Hodge and Kress, and Faircalough have been presented.

Abstract: Organic manures can be a valuable and inexpensive source of soil amending materials to supply plant nutrients, and to improve soil properties that are important for crop performance. However, effects of broiler litter on soil chemical properties and maize performance in arid and semi-arid areas are not well-known. The main objective of this study was to explore the interactive influence of broiler litter and chemical NP fertilizers on maize yield and chemical properties of a calcareous soil. The experiment consisted of two methods of fertilizer placements and seven fertilizer treatments conducted for two successive years under field conditions. Results showed that furrower method improved soil chemical properties and subsequently increased maize grain yield and dry matter production compared with disk + furrower method. The N and P levels in soil increased with the application of NP fertilizers and broiler litter. Soils amended with broiler litter and NP fertilizers had greater maize grain yield and dry matter production than the control. In conclusion, furrower placement combined with the application of broiler litter and 20% of the optimum chemical NP fertilizers were the most efficient nutrient management practice for increasing maize performance in the studied area.
