The present study was carried out by conducting vertical electrical sounding at 43 points (VES) in the northeastern part of the Jordan Valley, Jordan to evaluate the aquifer protective capacity (APC) and potential capacity of the aquifer. IPI2win software was used to accomplish the interpretation of VES data. The VES interpreted data was used to prepare spatial distribution maps of aquifer apparent resistivity (AR), layer thickness, longitudinal conductance (LC) and transverse resistance (TR) for the subsurface layers using Rockwork14 software. The results showed that the study area had four subsurface geoelectric layers. The results also indicated that the APC values increase with the increase in the depth of the geological column. The second layer characterised by high values of TR in the southern part of the study area indicate higher yield potential as compared to the northern and central parts. The third and fourth layers characterised by low values of TR in the northern and southern parts of the study area imply low yield potential owing to the occurrence of clay-rich deposits. The present investigator is in favour of creating recharge zone in the southern part of the study area by taking the gradient and geology of the area into consideration. Based on geological data, TR and LC values, the central part of the study area is relatively more permeable in the third and fourth layers thus, there is more scope for the loss of recharged water.

An amazing development of Sport Business has been present in the past decades. This trend started in mid-twentieth century. One of the basic reasons for this state is the Marketing, Media and PR conversion of major Sports Events into spectacles with properties of a short-term global phenomenon. Benefits from such a global expansion of sports mega-events are not purely financial, although financial benefit is the most obvious one. Positive effect of PR of sports mega-events is brothering the positive attitude of sport and sport practice. Trend of actively spending one’s leisure time is derived from a general interest in sport activities today (though this is not necessarily followed by practicing sport activities). Therefore, there is an emphasized need for further development of Public Relations and Communication strategies, knowledge and understanding of the Communication Management of the Sports Events. Coordinated implementation of PR activities and communication methods in Sports reduces potential negative social impacts and any financial losses on the one hand, but it more commonly increases the benefits of the aforementioned elements. Analyses and research in this field are rare and therefore this paper represents initial theoretical contribution. The paper analyzes the Special Event- Sporting Spectacle as an instrument of PR communication in the broader social context.

Automatic parallelization is necessary in all system. Every person want the program to execute as soon as possible. Now Day’s, programmer want to get run faster the sequential program. Automatic parallelization is greatest challenge in now day’s. Parallelization implies converting sequential code to parallel code to getting better utilization of multi core processor. In parallelization multicore use the memory in sharing mode or massage passing. Now day’s programmers don’t want to take extra overheads of parallelization because they want it from compiler that’s called automatic parallelization. Its main reason is to free the programmers from manual parallelization process. The conversion of program into parallelize form is very complex work due to program analysis and unknown value of variable during compile time. \nThe main reason of conversion is execution time of program due to loops, so the most challenging task is to parallelize the loops and run it on multi-core by breaking the loop iterations. In parallelization process the compiler must have to check the dependent between loop statements that they are independent to each other. If they are dependent or effect the other statement by run the statement in parallel, so it not converts it. After checking the dependency test convert it into parallelization by using OpenMP API. We add some line of OpenMP for enabling parallelization in loop.

La determinación de la actividad antioxidante es de suma importancia. El estrés oxidativo afecta de forma negativa la salud y aunque es parte normal del metabolismo, bajo situaciones de estrés se genera un desequilibrio entre la cantidad de especies reactivas de oxígeno o nitrógeno. Los antioxidantes que ayudan a combatir el estrés oxidativo, son generados de forma natural por el organismo o bien, se incorporan al mismo ya que son parte natural de muchos alimentos. Debido a esto, la capacidad antioxidante que presentan determinados alimentos es evaluada por medio de diversas técnicas. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de la presente revisión fue realizar una recopilacion de la metodología utilizada en las técnicas antioxidantes ABTS, DPPH y ORAC, así como discutir la variación en la expresión de los resultados que presentan estas. Para lo anterior, se revisaron artículos científicos donde se evaluara, en alimentos, capacidad antioxidante in vitro por medio de las metodologías ABTS, DPPH y ORAC. Se encontró que dentro de una misma metodología se presentaron variaciones en las condiciones empleadas, y de igual forma en la manera de presentar los resultados. Se concluye que no existe homogeneidad dentro de una misma técnica, y que la forma de reportar influye particularmente en la discusión de los resultados, la manera más común de reportar en las metodologías ABTS y ORAC es µM o mM equivalente trolox, mientras que en DPPH es en porcentaje de inhibición.

La riqueza de conocimientos que poseen las culturas indígenas sobre el uso de la flora es de suma importancia, no sólo por el aspecto económico, sino también para el aprovechamiento sustentable de los recursos naturales. Por tanto, el conocimiento y registro de las plantas útiles para una cultura indígena contribuyen a su conservación. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar las especies vegetales que presentan mayor importancia socioeconómica para la población Totonaca localizada en el municipio de Filomeno Mata, Veracruz, México. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a una muestra estadísticamente representativa de 30 personas de 55 a 70 años de edad. El listado de especies obtenido se procesó mediante la metodología del Índice de Significancia Cultural (ICS), junto con otros índices para medir la diversidad, riqueza específica y equitatividad. Se identificaron 110 plantas útiles, concentradas en 57 familias y 95 géneros. Las especies fueron agrupadas en 8 categorías antropogénicas en donde el 43.84% fueron comestibles, 15.75% medicinales, 16.44% para decoración, 12.33% para combustible, 4.79% maderable, 2.05% para embalaje, 2.05% para cercos vivos y 2.74% para forraje del ganado. Las especies cultivadas presentaron el mayor ICS para la población Totonaca con 110-82 puntos, seguido por las especies silvestres comestibles con 71-81 puntos. De acuerdo con los índices estimados se concluye que existe un lazo indisoluble entre la flora y la cultura de la población indígena totonaca.

Due to deregulation in energy market and rapid increment in the power demand, the power systems components are working closely to their permissible limits. Under this environment the systems\' stability and security are major concern of the system operator. Transient stability and security constrained optimal power flow (TSSCOPF) problem can be developed by employing OPF with incorporating the line loading and rotor angle trajectory constraints. \n This paper employs a newly developed variant of GWO named as Intelligent Grey Wolf Optimizer (IGWO) to solve the TSSCOPF problem. At first, we exhibit the results of IGWO on six standard benchmark functions then the application of IGWO has been investigated on TSSCOPF problem for IEEE-30 test bus system. After observing the results and rotor angle trajectories under different sever contingencies, it can be stated that the proposed method is suitable for TSSCOPF problem. Further, the comparison of this variant with some recently publish approaches is also presented. The promising results establish the efficacy of the IGWO.

The aim of the study is to describe Elementary School teachers’ difficulties in implementing the Curriculum 2013, which has been implemented since July 2013 in several Indonesian schools and which might have been in effect in all schools around 2014. The study was descriptive explorative research by means of qualitative data gathering. The data on elementary school teachers’ difficulties in implementing the Curriculum 2013 were gathered by means of interviews, observation and focus discussions. The data source was 602 elementary school teachers and 11 the vice principals of a curriculum in the Tangerang City Province of Banten of Indonesia. The data analysis was conducted by looking for the specific theme, then the researcher found the inter-theme relationship in order to attain the proper understanding of what difficulties that teachers have in implementing the Curriculum 2013. The results of the study showed that in the implementing the Curriculum 2013 the teachers had more difficulties and had not fully understood the content standards, the process standards and the assessment standard.

In this paper describes a novel intelligent Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) based Maximum Power Extracting (MPE) of photovoltaic standalone system is proposed, which can handle the uncertainties of the rules under high deviations in climate conditions. Traditional Perturbation and Observation (P&O), hill-climbing MPE structures are examined. The MPE employed boost converter controller. The novel MPPT controller develops enhanced P&O based possible power extractor search technique by rules fuzzifying of such method and eliminates the conventional drawback. A new FLC based improved P&O offers a precise and quick converging to MPE during changing climatic and steady state conditions compared to existing P&O and hill climbing method. The development of the suggested MPE is confirmed in simulation MATLAB at dissimilar operating circumstances.
