Despite the high number of people with disabilities, there are only a few job recommender systems that cater to their needs. This study analyses the implementation of an ontology based recommender system (JRDP) that offers suitable jobs to the disabled. The system considers whether or not an assistive technology exists to address certain disabilities in a specific application domain. If so, a list of available jobs from the application domain would be recommended to the disabled workforces. Two modules are considered as main components of the framework; knowledge-based and recommendation modules. 10 applicant with various disabilities participated in the testing session. The T-test evaluation demonstrates that JRDP requires less time for the recommendation process compared to ontology-less recommendation systems. The mean values for each construct of questionnaire can be calculated using the usability test, with the average mean reported to be 4.55. Cronbach's Alpha was used for testing the reliability of questionnaire, reporting a value of (0.759), which confirms its reliability.

Climatological aerosol optical depths (AOD) over Tropical coastal city Machilipatnam, India have been examined to bring out the temporal heterogeneity in columnar aerosol characteristics. AOD values at 388 nm derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) sensor EOS-AURA satellite, for the period of 2005–2013 have been analyzed for the purpose. AOD trends exhibited seasonal annual mean variations. Frequency distributions of the AOD values are examined to infer the monthly mean values. Monthly and seasonal variations of AOD are investigated in the light of regional synoptic meteorology. AODs>0.6 showed maximum occurrence in monsoon months. The mean AOD values increased towards summer reaching ~0.69 ± 0.34 and attained peak in monsoon season with a value of ~0.74 ± 0.33 and decreased during post-monsoon reaching as low as ~0.73 ± 0.3. Positive slope ~0.016 observed for inter annual distribution trend line. Factors like synoptic scale circulation patterns which are causing modulations of AOD apart from local sources were discussed.

Changes in natural ecosystems for the use and management of soil can have negative consequences, favoring the appearance of areas susceptible to physical degradation. This work aimed to evaluate changes on the soil properties in Archaeological Dark Earth environments preserved under pigeon pea cultivation and pasture, using multivariate geostatistics technique. Sampling meshes were delimited with regular spacings with 88 sample points per mesh and then georeferenced. Soil samples and volumetric rings were collected in the layers 0.0-0.05 m, 0.05-0.10 m and 0.10-0.20 m, for the determinations of the physical attributes and soil organic carbon. The main components main components 1 (MC1) and main components 2 (MC2) were characterized by attributes related to the stability of the aggregates (geometric average diameter (GAD), weighted average diameter (WAD) and aggregate classes) and the related soil structure taxes, respectively, with a variability of soil attributes under forest influenced by values above the mean for both main components. Land use under pigeon pea little influenced the variability of the main components, presenting values of the attributes related to these components near the mean values, while the soil under pasture promoted influence only to the attributes related to main components 2 (MC2).

AbstractUsing a miniature diamond-anvil pressure cell and by means of single-crystal four-circle diffractometry, the crystal structure of synthetic forsterite has been studied up to 149 kb. The results are: (1) the distortion of the oxygen lattice from that of an ideal hexagonal closest packing (hcp) decreases with an increase of pressure, the extrapolation of the variation mode showing that the oxygen lattice would be ideally of the hcp type at around 160 kb. (2) While the mean Mg(2) – O bond shows a linear decrease with an increase of pressure, the mean Mg(1) – O distance ceases decreasing at around 80 kb. The value at this pressure is kept constant up to the experimental limit of 149 kb. At this extreme pressure both mean values are 2.05 Å. (3) The bulk modulus for the mean Si – O bond shows a value of 1.9 Mb.

Study of Seven heavy metals namely, Zinc, Lead, Copper, Cadmium, Manganese, Chromium and Nickel was conducted in Mai-Allo pond, Gwale, Kano State in order to assess the concentration of the heavy metals in the pond. The results of the heavy metals showed that Zn has a value of 0.34±0.17 mg-l in the wet season and 0.49±0.37 mg-l in the dry season, Cu has a value of 1.42±0.14 mg-l in the wet season and 0.64±0.09 mg-l in the dry season, and Ni also has 0.12±0.02 mg-l in the wet season and 0.23±0.13 mg-l in the dry season, all these were within acceptable limits, while Pb with a value of 0.05±0.02 mg-l was within the limits during the wet season but during the dry season, the value 0.14±0.09mg-l exceeds the limits. Cd has a value of 0.06±0.01 in the wet season and 0.17±0.12 in the dry season, Cr has 0.36±0.12 in the wet season and 0.04±0.07 in the dry season, and Mn also has values of 0.46±0.12 and 0.22±0.03 in the wet and dry seasons respectively. Hence there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the mean values of the sampling stations of the heavy metals during the wet and dry seasons. The study showed that the pond water was polluted with some heavy metals and hence measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the aquatic ecosystem, humans and the environment.

High speed cinefluorography was used to track articulatory movements preceding and following full-mouth tooth extraction and alveoloplasty in two subjects. Films also were made of a control subject on two separate days. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of dramatically altering the structural dimensions of the oral cavity on the kinematic parameters of speech. The results showed that the experimental subjects performed differently pre and postoperatively though the changes were in different directions for the two subjects. Differences in both means and variabilities of kinematic parameters were larger between days for the experimental (operated) subjects than for the control subject. The results for the Control subject also showed significant differences in the mean values of kinematic variables between days though these day-to-day differences could not account for the effects found pre- and postoperatively. The results of the kinematic analysis, particularly the finding that transition time was most stable over the experimental conditions for the operated subjects, are used to speculate about the coordination of normal speech.
