ABSTRACT: Silver oxide was introduced, by weight addition, to the chemical mixtures of some calcium bismuth niobium Borate glasses. The following formula was considered for preparation series of five samples (100-x) wt% [0.6 mol B2O3 – 0.2 mol CaO – 1.75 mol Bi2O3 – 0.25 mol Nb2O5] – x wt% Ag2O, where x = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 wt%. For characterization process some spectra like XRD, DSC and UV-Vis have been used. Where both X-ray and DSC measurements indicated the amorphous state formation, for all compositions. UV-vis spectra exhibited two indirect (γ=1/2) and direct (γ=2) electronic transitions, for each sample. For direct transitions, the optical band gap was perturbed by the addition of Ag+ cations.

ABSTRACT: Electric cars are a variety of electric vehicles. The term "electric vehicle" refers to any vehicle using electric propulsion motors. The maximum speed of travel on public roads and city streets varies by country. Electric cars need to charge their batteries every 300 km or 400 km, we propose to add wind turbines to an electric car for using wind energy neglected during the movement of the vehicle to produce electricity. In this paper, the usage of unused wind energy in vehicles was developed so that additional power for vehicles is made possible and that is via converting wind power into electric one. The wind turbine was assembled from a fan and transducer. The experiment was carried out so that the wind turbine was installed above the car; values of voltages and currents in various speeds of the car were recorded. When five fans were used with different specification, the consequence was a direct proportionality instead was recorded between voltages, currents and power car's speeds................

ABSTRACT: This short paper is to provide further proof, in addition to the below listed acknowledgements, using properties of a pendulum, with rather far reaching implications of toppling Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, yet again. It can be considered to be the final nail, in Einstein's General Theory Relativity's, coffin.

Title	:	Investigation of the Variability of Signal Strength of Wireless Services in Umuahia, Eastern Nigeria
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Emeruwa, C. || Ekah, U. J.
	:	10.9790/4861-1003021117

ABSTRACT: This work evaluated the path loss ad received signal strength level (RSSL) of a GSM (Globacom) Network at 900MHz in Umuahia- Eastern Nigeria using Drive test. Low Quality of signal (QOS) was discovered in Umuahia within the period of investigation. Results from simulation of the acquired data using Matlab reviewed a considerable decline in the Receive Signal Strength Level (RSSL) in all sectors under investigation due to increase in population, building heights and vegetations. It is recommended that the frequency band be increased from 900MHz to 1800MHz to help remedy the effect of path loss within Umuahia.

ABSTRACT: Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field, which covers a vast and diverse array of devices derived from engineering, biology, physics and chemistry. These devices include nanovectors for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs and imaging contrast agents. Nanowires, nanorobot, nanoeggs and nanocantilever arrays are among the leading approaches under development for the early detection of precancerous and malignant lesions from biological fluids. These and other nanodevices can provide essential breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. This paper mainly contains about Nanotechnology and its 'various' applications. And this tells about the history of Nanotechnology and its necessity. This also discusses how it will improve our lives and about the applications in wide range. Here in my study I use scientoos to make nanotechnology a easy and interesting one.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports the study of electronc and optical propertis of double perovskite oxide Pb2ScSbO6 by using the FP-LAPW method within density functional theory. Lattice constants are calculated by doing volume optimisation. The values of bulk modulii and pressure derivatives had been obtained. Results of density of states and energy bands are also presented. The indirect band gaps have been found for both the systems by using the GGA and mBJ approximations. Calculations of optical properties is also presented by considering the variations of optical parameters as a function of incident photon energy..

Title	:	Influence of Viscoelastic Rivlin-Ericksen Fluid On Free Convective Flow Past A Vertical Plate Filled In Porous Medium In Presence of Transverse Magnetic Field And Double Diffusion Effects
Country	:	India
Authors	:	D. Malleswari
	:	10.9790/4861-1003024562

ABSTRACT:The aim of this work is to study the combined effects of transverse magnetic field and double diffusion on unsteady boundary-layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting and twodimensional heat-absorbing viscoelastic fluid flow past a semi-infinite vertical permeable plate in presence of free convection. The Rivlin-Ericksen model is employed to simulate the rheological liquids encountered in cooling of electronic devices, polymer solutions, hydrocarbons and chemical engineering processes. The plate is
assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow while the free stream velocity is assumed to follow the exponentially increasing small perturbation law. Time-dependent wall suction is assumed to occur at the permeable surface. The transport equations...........
