Abstract:
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is extensively used to manufacture orthopedic total implant components. Wear debris of this polymer released at the periimplant region is responsible for osteolysis and implant failure. Cells around the implant where the metallic and polymeric components articulate, respond to these non-biodegradable particles (primarily UHMWPE) and release chemical mediators that eventually lead to aseptic loosening of the implant. In this short review we discuss the various cell lineages that respond to and are involved in the wear-mediated osteolytic process.

Abstract:
There are broadly two modes of education system one is conventional and the other is distance education system. For ages the conventional education system has remained the dominant way of spreading education where the construct of the school or the institute is very specific. But with time things change as well as the concepts. The latest trend in the education system is distance education where the students can enjoy utmost freedom in the process of learning. You can remain engaged in all other works including the course you want to pursue. This is the major difference between the distance education and conventional education systems. It would be better to state that the whole conception of online education holds a difference in the core that separates it from conventional education. You won't have concrete classrooms in distance education where you can find a bunch of students attending lectures of their respective teachers.

Abstract:
Since the introduction of Bt cotton in India there has been a serious debate going on its impact on cost, returns and productivity. Andhra Pradesh continue to be the largest cultivator of Bt cotton in India and it occupies third position among Indian cotton growing states both in terms of area as well as outturn. In this context, it would be appropriate to analyze the output and efficiency of inputs used in cotton cultivation in Andhra Pradesh state of India.. The Cobb-Douglas production and decomposition analysis techniques were used to estimate the influence of factors and Bt technology on output change. The results of the estimated production functions reveal that seeds and fertilizer is the most important input to which output is highly responsive in both Bt and Non-Bt cotton crop situations. The output elasticity of pesticide is higher in Non-Bt cotton cultivation than that of in Bt cotton cultivation. The decomposition revealed that the net impact of Bt technology alone is estimated to have increased the output by 10.88 %.

Abstract:
Simone De Beauvoir was born in Jan. 9, 1908 and died in April 14, 1986 in Paris, France. While studying at the Sorbonne, she met Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau- Ponty, beginning a lifelong association with them. With these two philosophers, she founded a literary and political journal. She belonged to a feminist collective and was politically active in feminist causes. She wrote several novels and a number of philosophical works, the most notable of which was The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947), Le Deuxieme Sexe (1949; translated as The Second Sex, 1952).In the present paper an attempt has been made to draw attention towards Beauvoir's observation on 'how women have been deliberately given secondary place'. De Beauvoir's text (The Second Sex, 1952) laid the foundations for much of the feminist theory and political activism that emerged during the 1960s in Western Europe and America. Since then, its impact, if anything, has broadened and deepened: its basic thesis and premises continue to underlie the broad spectrum of feminist concerns.

Abstract:
Travel behaviour analysis requires an understanding of the preferences of travellers, especially in case of leisure travel, which is characterised by heterogeneity and multiplicity of destinations. Factors associated with destination, travel and traveller's psychology influence the destination choice further. This paper identifies the latent constructs influencing destination choices of domestic tourists, categorised by their associative value of destination and income groups. The results indicate that aspects associated with 'safety and comfort', and 'pre-decision' influence the destination preferences of travellers at all destination types. Social restrictions and destination attributes are found to be value-specific. The level of importance associated with these factors are found to be distinctly different from one another. The income groups considered are also found to have distinct differences in their destination preferences. Economics and comfort related aspects, pre-decision as well destination-specific attributes are found to vary significantly across the income groups.

Abstract:
Mobile number portability has become the order of the day and it is all about keeping the same mobile phone number when moving from a existing service provider to a new provider. The report was prepared on the basis of a comparative study, done to know the pros and cons of Mobile Number Portability System (MNPS) from both customer'' as well as services provider's perspective. Data was obtained through personal interview method at Bangalore. Two questionnaires were prepared; one for cellular service providers and second for the customers. After the Study, it was found that, Customers are eagerly waiting for such a service, where customer can change service provider without changing mobile number. Introduction of MNPS will lead to number of advantages to the customers like low tariff, flexibility to change, good network and more VAS. Major drawback of MNPS for customer will be relatively less as compared to that of service provider.

Abstract:
Students studying in B-schools get varieties of inputs (academic and otherwise). This paper investigates whether this process has any effect on the students on their emotional intelligence (EI). The paper also investigates the relationship between EI and academic performance of these students in the B-school (institute). It also studies if EI is dependent on gender. To represent emotional intelligence, emotional quotient has been used as the measure. The sample for the study was from three batches of students from 2009-11(Junior), 2008-10 (Senior) and 2007-09 (Super Senior). The juniors were fresher in the institute. The seniors had spent about a year in the institute where as the super seniors had spent about two years. The sample comprised boys and girls from various states with different academic qualifications. The instrument for measuring emotional quotient through a questionnaire was developed by Chadha (2003) and Singh (2003).
