   The desire of students to study when there is a good chance provided to them is called study habits. When students are not having good habits, they can’t use effective study skills. Good study habits make one individual learn more quickly and soundly than the other.       Good student is classified from the bad one according to good study habits. When especially there are video games to play, friends to gossip with and TV to watch, it's natural to not want to study.       In the university life, study is an important part of it and there is no universal method that fits every student or subject. Largely, it is a matter of figuring out what works best for the student, this is called developing practical and good study habits. However, there are some useful methods and guidelines the student can follow to help maximize his/her learning.     For this, a study habits questionnaire from (Virginia Gordon’s University Survey: 1997) was used to measure the study habits used by 58 B.A. of computer science students. Results show that most of the students don’t have good study habits and need help.

The activities reported in this paper are part of the project “PARSIFAL” (Prandtlplane ARchitecture for the Sustainable Improvement of Future AirpLanes), funded by the European Community under the Horizon 2020 program and coordinated by the University of Pisa (Italy); the other partners of the project are: Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands), ONERA (France), Arts et Métiers ParisTech-ENSAM (France), DLR (Germany) and SkyBox Engineering (Italy). The paper presents a summary of preliminary design activities, carried out with the project PARSIFAL in order to study the introduction of box-wing aircraft, known as “PrandtlPlane”, in the air transport system. PARSIFAL aims to investigate the adoption of the PrandtlPlane over short-to-medium routes, where aircraft compliant with the ICAO Aerodrome Reference Code “C” operate. According to such ICAO standard, the PrandtlPlane developed in PARSIFAL has a wingspan limited to 36m but, if compared to reference aircraft such as B737 and A320 families aircraft, it can improve the passenger capacity from about 200 to more than 300 units. This paper presents the design steps performed for the definition of a “baseline configuration” of the PrP, introducing the requirements and describing both the conceptual and preliminary design phases, including the high fidelity investigations CFD and FEM analyses.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) in the more extensive sense alludes to in excess of 277 distinct kinds of cancer sickness. Researchers have recognized distinctive phase of pancreatic cancers, showing that few quality transformations are engaged with cancer pathogenesis. These quality transformations lead to unusual cell multiplication. Therefore, in this study we propose a Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system using Synergic Inception ResNet-V2, Deep convoluted neural network architecture for the identification of PC cases from publically Usable CT images that could extract PC graphical functionality to include clinical diagnosis before the pathogenic examination, saving valuable time for disease prevention. Simulation results using MATLAB is shown to illustrate that quite promising results have been obtained in terms of accuracy in detecting patients infected with BC. Accuracy of 99.23 per cent is reached using the proposed deep learning method, which is better than all other state-of-the-art approaches available in the literature. The calculation time was found to be less than the other current 22 second process. The proximity of the suggested approach to the True Positive values in the ROC curve suggests a result that is greater than the other methods. The comparative study with Inception ResNet-V2 is based on separate test and training data at a rate of 90 percent-10 percent, 80 percent-20 percent and 70 percent-30% respectively, which shows the robustness of the proposed research work. Experimental findings show the proposed reliability of the device relative to other detection approaches. The proposed CAD device is fully automated and has thus proved to be a promising additional diagnostic tool for frontline clinical physicians.

Environmental Horticulture-undergraduate student enrollment at the University of Florida (UF) Gainesville campus decreased from 88 students in 1980/81 to 34 students in 1989/90. In 1983/84 a resident instruction program in Environmental Horticulture for placebound students was initiated by UF at the Ft. Lauderdale Research and Education Center. Enrollment rapidly increased from 6 students in 1984 to 67 students in 1989, with an average student credit load of 3.5 credits per semester. In 1990/91 increased student recruiting efforts were made with a common undergraduate handbook, recruiting brochure, and guides for academic program specializations developed to serve both locations. These efforts and others have increased enrollment at both sites. Currently there are 73 students in the Environmental Horticulture program at Gainesville and 87 students at Ft. Lauderdale. Students may begin their academic program at one location and transfer to the other site to complete their undergraduate requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree. A Bachelor of Science program in Environmental Horticulture will be initiated in the fall of 1994 in Milton, Florida, a small community in northwest Florida.

Folklorist Elmar Daniel Päss (1901–1970) was one of the first researchers who was educated in folklore at the University of Tartu: the Chair of Folklore started work in the autumn of 1919, and Elmar Päss entered university in the autumn of 1922. Already as a student, he attracted the attention of folklore professor Walter Anderson with his study about drinking in Estonian proverbs and folk songs, submitted for a students’ competition in 1924. There was no unified folklore archive in Tartu at the time (it was established in 1927). The study by Päss testified to his diligence (he examined collections of Estonian folklore both in Tartu and in Helsinki) as well as his ability to systematise and analyse voluminous material. He elaborated this study and defended it as his master’s degree in 1926. After a year in military service, he started work as a folklore assistant at the University of Tartu. In 1933 he became a scientific grantee, to work on a dissertation about Estonian and Ingrian Martinmas songs. Although the first version of the manuscript was completed in 1935, he did not defend the thesis. On the one hand, new material on Martinmas customs was constantly piling up, on the other hand, the defence seemed to be postponed due to economic difficulties. The establishment of the Soviet rule in 1940 and the following war further distanced Päss from research work. In 1947 the Institute of Estonian Language and Literature was founded at the Academy of Sciences, and for three years he worked there as a folklore researcher. However, his main occupation was a schoolteacher. So his most fertile scientific career remained in the 1920s–1930s. Three different intertwining directions can be distinguished in Päss’ scientific work: a comparative study of songs, customs related to calendar, wedding, and work, and the lore of border regions. Against the more general background of folkloristics, Päss’ research approaches are up to date: on the one hand, comparative and international research prevailing in the first decades of the century, on the other hand, considering the syncretic and functionalist viewpoint of lore that emerged in the late 1920s and in the 1930s. His studies of the customs and songs of Shrovetide and Martinmas could be part of classical Estonian folkloristics.

At the institute for waterpower and pumps at the University of Technology Vienna we do a lot of research work observing the flow in the casing and the buckets of Pelton turbines. One interest of our research is to find criteria to estimate the influence of the splash water distribution in the casing on the turbine efficiency. Knowing the splash water distribution it is further possible to develop methods to provide visual documentation of the flow in and around the buckets from the beginning to the end of interaction.Our measurements have been done on a single jet Pelton turbine with a runner pitch diameter of 420 mm. Our research shows that the casing has great influence to the operation of a Pelton turbine and so it is very important to include the casing as an important factor in all investigations. Aluminum honeycombs have been successful to bring the splashing water under control and to make good visual documentations of the flow.
