Abstract With the increase of work demands and the wide-spread use of smartphones, people have to deal with more and more work demands in their family life, which breaks the boundary between work and family, impedes recovery and leads to more work-family conflict. In this paper, we summarize the research on psychological detachment in the work-family domain and find that psychological detachment from work is influenced by family-related policies in organizations and buffers the impact of work stress on family life. A crossover effect of psychological detachment has been found in couples. Thus, we can say psychological detachment is of great importance to illustrate the psychological process in the work-family interface. However, psychological detachment is not necessarily a prerequisite of a satisfactory family life, for work-family interpersonal capitalization can boost marital satisfaction. Besides, the effect of psychological detachment is moderated by role salience and segmentation preference. Further, we summarized the latest findings about psychological detachment in work-family enhancement and family-work conflict/enhancement, which may inform future studies.

Abstract: During the years of 1980-86, I have conducted many researches with an ideal to invent a device that should be used to study and solve the mysteries of the underground such as minerals, water resources, earthquakes etc and proposed an architecture named Geoscope. This is not what Buckminster had proposed in 1962. My Geoscope was designed to explore the underground studies just like mines minerals and geological hazards just like earthquakes etc by constantly studying the underground. Geoscope researches were completed in 1986 and the Geoscope was presented to the Hon’ble A.J.V.B.M. Rao, Member of Parliament (Lok.Sabha.), Amalapuram constituency for consideration. After consideration in 1987, Sri A.J.V.B.M. Rao met the Hon’ble Minister of State for Science and Technology, New Delhi (later President of India) personally presented the Geoscope invention for further research and development in the services of welfare of the people. Sri K.R.Narayanan was issued orders to the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. in the capacity of Vice-President of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research to develop the Geoscope in 1988. In 1989, the Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh was also issued orders to the Government of India, Ministry of Science & Technology, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research to provide research facilities to carry out experiments on the Geoscope at National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad for implementation in the service of the country. Many representations were submitted to the government and research organizations for providing research facilities to carry out for further researches on the Geoscope but the government and research organizations did not encourage and provide research opportunities to me. I was envied by research institutes, scientists and subjected to incessant verbal insults. I sacrificed my life for the past 46 years in inventing the Geoscope to serve the world people from the earthquakes. But I am an unfortunate scientist who could not get recognition as the inventor of Geoscope. I am now making my life’s last journey due to pains and poverty & disregard and despair. Under the aforesaid circumstance making this appeal to the world scientists to recognize me as the Father of Geoscope & its related geoscopic investigations. Let us study about the exploitation of earthquakes and the methods of studying earthquakes. I have conducted some studies on the earth quakes and especially designed the basics of the G.R.IRLAPATI’S GEOSCOPE which can helpful to study, predict and mitigate the earth quakes and its secondary consequent hazards if any.

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of silicon nanotubesis studied using molecular dynamics based on the tersoff potential. The variation of Young’s modulus versus temperature and diameter is obtained. The results show the diameter variation does not affect the Young’s modulus significantly. Then, the buckling behavior of Si nano-tube under uniaxial loading is simulated, and the critical buckling load and strain are computed. The effects of length, diameter and strain rate on critical buckling load and strain are studied. In addition, the effect of defect on buckling behavior is investigated.

Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the concentration of heavy metals present in the feed and faecal samples of layer birds from commercial poultry farms at Ikenne Local Government area of Ogun State, Nigeria. Feed and faecal samples were collected by random sampling from bags of feed and farm dumpsite respectively at seven commercial poultry farms with bird population of 2,000 and above. Collected samples were analysed for heavy metal concentration with atomic absorption spectrometer AAS model 210GP after wet digestion. Data analysed by descriptive statistics showed that both feed and faecal samples contained varying levels of Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr) and Arsenic (As). The mean concentration (ppm) values of heavy metals obtained in poultry feed from all the farms falls within the National Research Council and European Union reference values. However, the concentration of Cr in all feed samples was below the NRC recommended value. In all the faecal samples collected, the concentrations (ppm) of Cu and As were lower than the concentrations obtained in feed samples. This could either mean that birds absorbed some of the metals in their diets or some of the metals in the faeces had been eroded off because the faeces were dumped in the open. Adequate incorporation not exceeding the maximum required value of metals into poultry diet is therefore recommended so that birds will not be deficient in having access to minerals required for their optimum growth, development and productivity. Also, chickens are nourished by the feed they consume and if the feed is excessive in heavy metal concentration, there will be a deposition of the metals in their body tissues. This will pose a poisonous and detrimental effect to the health of the human population that consumes such birds. Furthermore, it is recommended that faecal wastes should be properly dumped or recycled to avoid accumulation of heavy metals in soils or run off.

Abstract: Research has shown that one of the main factors contributing to academic achievement is motivation. Moreover, many studies have confirmed that the indispensable role of relatively constant attitude or imagination of individuals toward themselves in enhancing motivation and academic achievement is undeniable. This issue is one of the most crucial concerns of our today’s education in Iran since recent researches has indicated an increasing trend of low performance among college students, given the hypothesis that their motivation would be contributed. The aim of this research is to find the correlation between achievement motive, self concept and academic performance and to propose some guidelines to education authorities to improve educational methodologies. The population of this study was 250 college students of one of the province of Tehran. Random sampling was conducted and through questionnaires, self concept and achievement motive of students measured and their academic performance was evaluated by means of their grade point average. The obtained data was analyzed by SPSS software and according to Pearson correlation statistical formula and multi variable regression. The results indicated that there is a strong positive correlation between achievement motivation, self concept and academic performance in those selected students.

Abstract: Of important elements for education is curriculum that has to suitable elements for its aims and its variations and play a vital role. As reasonably, in every programming, they have to consider in every manner and as required to respond in needs. Considering in curriculum especially programs not be exceptional. Curriculum is considered by scientists as important factor for growth and dynamism of society with different strategy and thinkers are aims for it. The aim of this research is to respond to this question that curriculum based on what aim is considered? And what are those bases? In fact we can say that for compiling it, its place is missed in academic places. Although, attention in role of emotions at life had significant theoretical background and different philosophers like, Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant, Diouvi, Bergsuon, Russell pointed to it. (Amini and et al, 2009, 59) but Peter Salouy and John Mayer pointed to emotional intelligence significantly at 1990 and this concept was appeared in well sale book of Daniel Kelman at 1995 (Amini in narration of Akbarzadeh, 2009, 67) and they interested in relation and role of emotional aim in education. The professors of education and training found the role of emotion in training and screamed that not only growth of students but also emotional intelligence is necessary. (Elyas, 2003)

Abstract: Stem cells are derived from embryonic and non-embryonic tissues. Most stem cell studies are for animal stem cells and plants have also stem cell. Stem cells were discovered in 1981 from early mouse embryos. Stem cells have the potential to develop into all different cell types in the living body. Stem cell is a body repair system. When a stem cell divides it can be still a stem cell or become adult cell, such as a brain cell. Stem cells are unspecialized cells and can renew themselves by cell division, and stem cells can also differentiate to adult cells with special functions. Stem cells replace the old cells and repair the damaged tissues. Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. This article introduces recent research reports as references in the related studies.
