Abstract:
High school is a grade of education from Standards eight to ten. Standards nine and ten are also called Secondary School. Usually, students from ages fourteen to seventeen study in this section. These schools may be affiliated to national boards (like CBSE, ISC, and NIOS) or various state boards. Education is compulsory until age fourteen. When it comes to learning and performance at school, anxiety can be facilitative and disruptive. All students are anxious at times; some more than others; some pervasively and chronically. When anxiety is disruptive, it is associated with a host of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional problems. When the problems are pervasive and severe, they may be diagnosed as anxiety disorders. However, most students who have problems and appear or indicate that they are anxious are not disordered and should not be treated as having a psychopathological condition. (Liew & Michael 1981).

Abstract:
We shall discuss in this paper the yields of a diversity of strange hadronic particles produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions, and consider also theoretical models of strangeness production in QGP. In the analysis of (strange) hadron yields we use the statistical hadronization model (SHM) to connect properties of matter with yields of particles (or vice versa) by invoking the existence of a novel phase of matter i.e. QGP. We note that experiments detect reliably just a small fraction of all hadrons of interest. In order to have global and detailed information about the properties of the dense matter source of these hadrons, an extrapolation must be made to cover production yields of all particles.

Abstract:
Phenothiazine derivatives substituted in the 2 and 7 positions are classed as typical antipsychotics. They have wide applications to reduce hallucinations and delusions associated with psychosis. Due to their characteristic structure they exhibit many valuable analytical properties. They also react with some metal surfactants and form well defined metal complexes. The afore-said ligands of phenothiazines were synthesised by using p-nitroanilines through the Smiles rearrangement and reacts with metal surfactants to form solid complex compound. The synthesised complexes are found to be soluble in the organic solvents and characterized by IR and NMR spectral studies.

Abstract:
Ankle prosthesis provide functional performance for amputees. Conventional prosthesis like SACH foot are popular in low income countries. Other prosthesis like Flex-foot capable of storing energy during stance and assisting forward propulsion in dorsiflexion have single flexible carbon fiber shank instead of an ankle joint. Both SACH and flex foot provide limited range of motion up to 14 degree. We have developed a prosthetic ankle joint design which has range of motion, torque characteristics and ankle stiffness similar to that of natural ankle. Incorporating motion analysis, mechanical testing and computer analysis of ankle model, a passive energy returning ankle joint was validated experimentally using mechanical testing which showed 11.02% and 5.49% error in theoretical torque and average ankle stiffness values respectively with total range of motion of 20⁰ in dorsiflexion.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the grid integration of the photo voltage generator to provide active power by the use of renewable sources. The simulation is done in MATLAB to investigate the issues and solution for the grid integration. Photovoltaic cell is operated in maximum power point tracking mode (MPPT), to achieve maximum efficiency throughout the operation. PV generation is implemented to encourage the grid integration to support and provide active power management to the utility grid. To validate the use of MPPT techniques, the results are compared to prove that the MPPT controller increases the efficiency and performance of the PV system. By the use of MPPT controller, the power output of the PV cell can be controlled. PV cell generates DC power which can be converted into AC at desired level of voltage and frequency by the use of converters. The grid synchronization can be achieved by controlling the output of the converter with respect to the grid requirements i.e., the voltage and frequency level.

Abstract:
Electricity is the major ingredient in the development of modern society, which reflects the living standard of the people. However, everyone is not lucky to have the access of electricity. This is may be due to the remote location, non-availability of sufficient power and cost of electricity to make it available at that location. The most common way to supply electricity at such locations is by installing a diesel power plant. The main advantage of diesel engine that it can be located anywhere and can supply small/huge isolated Loads, such a system of its own will produce high cost electricity to the consumers. To reduce the cost of the electricity, renewable energy sources base generation can be used in coordination with the diesel generator. Most of the renewable sources are intermittent in nature and causes the imbalance between the demand and the generation. Absence of control mechanism even can damage the system especially in autonomous operation. The main parameters that are to be controlled are voltage and frequency which determines the stability and quality of the power supplied. By controlling the fuel input to the different generating units the frequency management of output power can be achieved easily while to control the voltage, the reactive power must be balanced. In this paper voltage and frequency of the hybrid wind Diesel system are controlled by static VAR compensator (SVC), which has excellent characteristics to control the terminal voltage of the system. The different type of SVC systems are designed and compared to show the performance of each type of compensator

Abstract:
Electricity has become the lifeline of the society. Consequently, power sector has come into the list of the most important sectors in todays’ industrial world. This paper demonstrates the structure of Indian power sector before independence and just after independence. After independence, Indian power sector was in hands of State Electricity Boards constituted by the respective State Governments. All these boards started losing the efficiency due to being run by State Governments and as a result, had to face a heft amount of financial losses. To deal with and balance the crippling power sector, Power sector reforms came to the fore. After Orissa, Haryana was the second State which adopted the power sector reforms. The structure of power sector in Haryana before and after the reforms has been described in this paper. Different companies handling the generation, transmission and distribution domain of power sector in Haryana have been presented here along with their functions and operating areas.

Abstract:
There is a sudden increase in public and media attention on the incidences of increasing ambient air pollution in India and its potential influence on infants and children. But, the fact that children spend as much as 80-90% of their time indoor, either at school or at home, must drive attention of researchers to also study indoor air pollution with the same vigour and concern. The present study discusses the current scenario of indoor air quality (IAQ) in learning institutions, mainly school environment in India and world over. Review of literature showed that there is a very limited research data available in India on IAQ of schools. However, scientific evidences around the world claim poor state of schools in terms of indoor environment and air quality which may trigger serious health concerns that directly or indirectly affect health and well-being of children.

This paper investigates the impact of Microfinance lending on economic growth in India over the period of 2002-03 to 2016-17. This study made use of quantitative secondary data from the Reserve bank of India, NABARD, CSO etc. to carry out this study. The empirical perspective of this study employed the Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Philip Perron Unit Root Test, ARDL model, error correction model (ECM). Besides those, Descriptive Statistics, Pearson’s bivariate Co relation, CUSUM Test, Bound Test, Wald Test, LM-Test, CUSUM Test, Normality test, Heteroscedacity Test etc. have been applied to examine the empirical results of the dataset. Empirical evidence from the study has shown that the activities of microfinance lending to SHGs does’t influence the entire economy either in short term as well as long term basis. There is also no relation exists among GDP and Investment. Inflation is positively negatively related with Growth. This study therefore recommends that Microfinance banks (MFBs) should be front-liners of ethical and professional conduct by ensuring that soft loans are given to credible and promising entrepreneurs

Abstract:
In this paper I tried to explain what is binomial distribution, when it can be used. In this paper properties of binomial distribution also have been discussed. In many events, happening in daily life, binomial distribution can be employed. e.g. if a coin is tossed, possible outcomes are head or tails, if a lady give birth to a child, it may be either male of female. If a person in suffering from a serious illness, and he is operated in a hospital, then either he will survive or die. If a fair dice is tossed, then all numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are likely events and if in an election if there are only two candidates ray A and B, then either A will win or B will win. So in all such events, it which there are only two outcomes named success and failure and number of trials in finite, binomial distribution can be employed.

Abstract:
Modelling a new language that allows us to model new technical properties in an easier and simpler way, implement or describe solutions, or to explain the problem requirements in a more concise way is one of the fundamental challenges of computer science. The designing of a new language is a time consuming task, requires experience and is thus usually conducted by specialized language engineers and specialists. Nowadays, the need for new languages for various growing domains is significantly increasing. Recently, Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) are becoming quite vital in software engineering. The significant question arising with this topic is why modelling important. In this paper an exploration example has been carried out to explain the main role of model driven aspects in facilitating the development process of a software product by implementing a navigational application model of student record domain as an example of graphical DSL.

Abstract:
The paper deals with the effects of ionization of air where people suffer various subjective sorts of discomfort such as headache, insomnia, fatigue, nervousness, joint aches, high blood pressure, which decrease work productivity. It has been recognised that these discomforts appear when there is a higher number of positive ions in the air .The positive ions prevail in industrial areas and densely populated places (housing estates, busy downtown sections, etc.) and enclosed rooms, which means in the places where we spend most of our lives. Various health effects are associated with or directly caused by respirable airborne particles and microbial agents. To reduce the human exposure to these indoor pollutants, numerous techniques have been developed over the years. One of the causes is presented especially by artificial materials which surround us (PVC flooring, synthetic carpets, and plastic windows), modern appliances (printers, copy machines, fluorescent lamps, TV sets, LD monitors, mobile phones , chemical cleaning agents, polluted air and cigarette smoke. The worst "enemy" of ionization is air conditioning which creates un-natural, artificial environment destroying natural microclimate by destroying all negative ions [4].

Abstract:
The effect of the addition of luffa sponge and Adani rice husk to Nkpologu clay has been investigated. The three samples were first sourced and characterized using XRD and XRF which showed that Nkpologu clay has about 20% Al2O3, 79% of SiO2 and little of FeO and CaO making it very good refractory clay. The rice husk and luffa sponge contains almost the same mineral contents. The samples were prepared and mixed in different ratios with clay being constant and the additives varied which led to the production of five different insulating bricks with which its micrographs were obtained after being fired in a heat treatment furnace. There was no colour change in the clay before and after the experiment.
