Abstract: This research is done for investigation about the role of dust on road crash for Yazd province in the year of 2015. This research is quantitative and description which is done as documentary or description-analytic research. Statistical society of this research is total of documents and statistics about road car crashes on different pivots of Yazd province. In this research statistic of road crashes of Yazd province as the result of dust, concern about years of 2010 to 2014 are considered as statistic sample. Needed information are obtained from files and statistics which presented by meteorology organization, Police Department and toll-house bureau of the province. For analyzing data is used from inference statistic indexes like Ki2 test, Fridman statistic, Pierson correlation coefficient and regression. Also results showed that the most car crashes which happened by dust is in spring season and after that is happen in winter. So climate factor of dust has significant role in road car crashes and also it has more effective toward the other factors. This phenomenon is with increasing number of cars in ways of the province and also is with increasing traveling between towns.

Abstract The study was carried out with three purposes. The first objective included the socio-economic characteristics of rubber lump marketers, the second described the marketing channel; and the third analysed the structure and conduct of the rubber lump market. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for the study. 120 Rubber lump marketers were selected and structured questionnaires administered to them. Descriptive statistics, Gini coefficient model and Concentration ratio analysis were used for analyzing the objectives. Most of the Rubber marketers interviewed were males in their active age. Ten (10) marketing channels were identified. There were no barriers to entry and exit in and out of the markets. The value of the Gini coefficient (0.737) and a concentration ratio (C.R) of 8.07%, indicates some level of inequality suggesting the presence of market concentration among the respondents The results indicate that the market was characterized with many buyers and sellers reflecting a pure competitive structure, prices were determined mainly by factors such as the international (world market) price and the purchase price, supply and demand forces and cost of transportation. Market associations existed among the marketers but only 45% belonged to such associations. About 25 % of the marketers had insurance policy. No advertisement, no research and development among marketers to create differentiated products to enhance profit. Based on the findings, it is therefore recommended that marketers should form cooperatives for easy access to loan so as to boost their financial base.

Abstract: The present study scrutinizes the wheel animalcule community of the Wular lake in Kashmir Himalaya. Till date no published literature is available on the rotifer community of the largest freshwater lake of Indian subcontinent. Sampling was carried out during two years of study (Sep.2012- Aug.2014). Twenty six taxa of rotifers were recorded from the nine study sites belonging to by eleven families. Among the recorded families, Brachionidae was the dominant, followed by Lecanidae and Lepadellidae. Among the family Lecanidae majority of the species co- exists with each other suggesting that these species share same niche levels in a given ecosystem. Wheel animalcules had peak abundance in summer when there was high temperature and abundant growth of macrophytes. Bray- Curtis dendrogram showed close resemblance between sites I, II and VI. However, the site III, V and IX showed dissimilar nature as far as distribution of the species is concerned. Brachionus: Trichocerca ratio reflects that waterbody under investigation is racing towards eutrophication.

Logic of Pierce as discussed by your kind self: Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness

Abstract: From a semiotic understanding in Pierce’s philosophy, you have tried to explain a philosophy of evolution in this paper. You have specified that it is not an atomic materialism. As mentioned by you it is a process philosophy which goes beyond both material-deterministic mechanism as well as pure chance indeterminism and Cartesian dualism. You have explained that Peirce achieved this by creating a pragmaticist and semiotic framework of trans-disciplinary cognition, communication and knowledge development through the three new philosophical categories, viz., conceptions of First, Second and the Third. The First is the being or the conception of existing independent of everything else, the Second is the conception of being relative to or the reaction. And the Third is the conception of mediation where, by the First and the Second, it is brought into relation. About biology you quote Pierce, “In biology, the idea of arbitrary sporting is First, heredity is Second, the process whereby the accidental characters become fixed is Third. Chance is First, Law is Second, the tendency to take habits is Third.” And this is Peirce’s principle of Cosmogonic Philosophy, which is a model for the coming into being or existence of Universe and the sentient beings. However in highlighting these it might have been important to mention that Peirce had retrieved the final causation of Aristotle within his framework. It is the modern scientists who do not include telos or final causation in their mechanical framework because they think it is in conflict with the efficient causation as well as it brings the idea that somehow the future effects the present (i.e. reversing the temporal order). Peirce thinks that the modern neglect of final causation is due to nominalism.

Abstract: In the time and scale of the universe some things from astronomy to atom including living beings have been repeating once in every certain time or period. For example, the south and north magnetic poles have been shifting in every certain period. The sun spots have been repeating once in every eleven years. The lunar and solar eclipses have also been occurring once in every 18.6 years. The seasons such as winter, autumn etc. also have been repeating once in every year in the same month of the year. The periodical menses in the females repeating once in every month. On the basis of the said universal facts, I have prepared a time scale with 21 blocks, each block containing certain prescribed cycle of years in which similar calendar years repeating one after another that leads similar weather conditions of those previous years to future years likely repeating every year approximately. The rainfall of the years, have been entering in the scale in percentages or as it is pertaining to month, season, annual wise of the each and every year. If we managing the scale in this manner continuously, we may assuming the weather conditions of the anterior years on the basis of the posteriors years weather. On the basis of the principle, we can assume that a considerable, of course it may be little chance of predication for an ensuing years by study the data of earlier years.

Abstract: I have conducted many researches on the bio forecasting methods and invented the simple but peculiar Bio forecasting system in 1965. A research project was jointly conducted with Andhra Pradesh state council of science & Technology, Andhra Pradesh state remote sensing applications centre and Andhra Pradesh Science Centre in 1991. I have invented the bioforecast effect in 1965 by keen study and observations of the LIPOSCOPES biolumicells. Although weakened by forecasting property with less successive rate, it is a primary and natural forecasting method. This is my invention which can help to forecast the weather changes 18 days in advance. I first started the researches in 1963-65 @ 5 to 7 years age with little instruments such as papers and pencils, water drop etc. and invented the light spot scope (Liposcope). Liposcope is a simple but wonderful instrument which functions with a natural doctrine hidden secretly in the function of the eye which can help to find out some inventions and discoveries like biolumicells, bioforecast effect etc, Liposcope is my first invention.

Abstract: I have conducted many studies on the origin, nature structure and evolution of the universe during the 1970-77 and proposed a new Hypothetical model of cosmology with hundreds or postulations. In 1977, a book was published in the name of IRLAPATISM-IRLAPTATI THEORY OF UNIVERSE on the basis of the postulations of the hypothesis by the supporters. The postulations about the universe, existence of god, theory of evolution etc in the book were exposed to the anger of fanatic people and I got into a violent altercation about these postulations of the hypothesis. As a result I was subjected to the suppressions and persecutions. I reported these suppressions and torments to the revenue divisional officer. Amalapuram on 6-7-1977 the revenue divisional officer was conducted an enquiry about this matter on forenoon, July 21st, 1977 while returning from the enquiry, I was attacked by a mob and they had taken me to the village chavadi. Followed by an altercation with tortures about the theory, they beaten and f forced me to put signatures on some false documents, and an offence falsely framed and foisted against me. After that I was sent to the taluk magistrate, kothapeta for another trial with the investigation of the superstitions, the taluk magistrate was declared me as a dangerous boy and up to anything and issued sentence to punish me and handed over to the police station, ravulapalem. The police was arrested me on July 21, 1977 registered a case and sent to remand, I was kept imprisoned some months in subjail and remaining period interrogated periodically by panatics and officers. The trials were done between April 2, 1979 to November 20, 1979 after trials, the Honble Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate court was found me not guilty and acquitted on November 27, 1979.

Abstract: Experience shows that indigenous knowledge not only has no contradiction with formal knowledge but different indigenous knowledge features, put it as well complementary for formal knowledge. Indigenous knowledge is accessible, useful and cheap. These countries have learned that exporting produced goods is better than selling petroleum. enforcing indigenous productive system at villages and also encouraging youths and teens to learn indigenous knowledge at on hand, and preparing suitable research condition for applied-sciences scholars in order to identify better and increasing applied aptitude of indigenous knowledge at the other hand, is equal to protection and sustainable use of natural resources.
