The present study is aimed at studying the various strategies used by engineering students attempting a cloze test. A narrative text with 100 blanks was administered to a group of 52 prefinal engineering students. The students were given one-hour time to complete the task. Following the test, a group of students was selected at random and interviewed, and all the interviews were recorded. Select strategies used by the high scorers and low scorers have been identified, classified as appropriate and inappropriate and presented.Keywords

Computing shortest path from one node to another node in a directed graph is a more general job. This problem was originally sorted by Dijkstra’s algorithm. Many heuristic algorithms were proposed to speedup the standard Dijkstra’s algorithm. The focus of this work is combination of two speed-up techniques called Arc Flag Method and Landmark Approach for Dijkstra’s algorithm. In the arc-flag approach, the entire network is preprocessed to generate additional information is allowed and stored, which is then used to speedup shortest-path queries. In Landmark approach, the identified landmarks are fixed at different intervals, which possess the distance between landmark node and other nodes present in the graph. This paper combines the above two approaches and stores landmark information on arc flags which in turn would generate greater speedup factor. The main objective of this paper is to increase the speedup factor of shortest path algorithm by performing combination of two reach based heuristic techniques such as arc flag and landmark that suits good for practical approach and to reduce down the space consumed by the algorithm by introducing start pointers.Keywords

Broadcasting is the high data transmission by a single destination address in wired medium. Data transmission with RMM (Reliable Multimedia Multicast) protocol provides reliable audio, video and data application. It increases the quality of video streams which is transmitted over the PON (Passive Optical Network) network. While comparing with other protocol, RMM protocol gives better performance with aid of Qos (Quality of Service) and it can improve bandwidth of audio, video used in multimedia application.

Nowadays, ICT performs a leading role in any kind of business for marketing. While radio, television and print media were primarily used to perform thesetasks earlier, with the advent of the new ICTs, these have now been considered as traditionalICTs.The new ICTs are commonly referred to evolving applications that relyon the Internet, telecommunication networks, mobile phones, personal computers and databases.These new ICTs have the potential of getting vast amounts of information to rural population ina more timely, comprehensive, cost effective and interactive manner. The study mainly focused as how the rural women farmers use ICT for their farming practices and agribusiness. Based on the findings, researcher concluded from the study, the women farmers perceived from their experience, the infrastructure is a main constraint to use the ICT for e-commerce in agricultural business. Some important implications for future research are also derived from the study.Keywords

The Dijkstra's algorithm is applied in many real world problems like mobile routing, road maps, railway networks, etc,. There are many techniques available to speedup the algorithm while guaranteeing the optimality of the solution. Almost all of the speedup techniques have a substantial amount of parallelism that can be exploited to decrease its running time. By suitably modifying portions of the existing system various degrees of parallelism can be achieved. The rapidly growing field of multiprocessing systems and multi-core processors provide many opportunities for such improvements. In these techniques there's always a demand for the running time and the time required for pre-processing. Space requirements for the pre-processing also have a major influence on the running time of the algorithm.
The main focus of the work is to implement landmark technique and to identify the segment of the code in landmark pre-processing which can be parallelized to obtain better speedup. The results are applied to the combined speedup technique which is based on landmarks and containers. The experimental results were compared and analysed for determining better performance improvements in random graphs and planar graphs.

Graded texts in course books generally contain different reading comprehension passages. An intelligent improvisation on the part of the teacher would help him/her go a long way in exploiting the text book for teaching different items of language, reading skills, grammar and other academic skills. This article is an attempt to formulate more creative ways of using a simple reading passage for teaching different skills, subskills of reading, vocabulary and grammatical items through activities. Instead of frantically hunting down new materials, the teacher can save a huge amount of time and energy. Further, it is also time for the teachers to explore ways of making learning more activity based. These activities would not only cater to different learning styles of learners, but would also make classrooms more interactive, learner-centred and fun-filled. This paper explicates how to build interesting activities around a reading passage with a specific skill/skills focus and also give a step by step description of how these activities can be executed in the classroom.Keywords

Self-access, autonomous learning, self-direction and individualised instruction are some of the closely related terms that are found in abundance in the literature of learner autonomy and self access. As an extension of our earlier work on selfdirected learning and autonomous learning which attempted to establish the differences between these terms, this article aims at extracting the essence of self-access as a model of instruction, which can be used a framework for instructional materials.Keywords

Food contamination is a critical problem that necessitates ongoing food pathogen control at every stage of the manufacturing process. In the food industry, it is critical to maintain product quality and safety. They can be accomplished in a variety of ways, some of which are more technologically advanced than others. The role, contribution, importance, and influence of ozone as a disinfectant used to regulate and eliminate the presence of unfavourable bacteria in food products, as well as to extend their shelf life and remove unwanted odours, are discussed in the study. Several researchers have studied the qualities and applications of ozone, demonstrating that ozone treatment technology may be used on a wide range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, spices, meat and seafood, and beverages. Besides food industry, ozone is also used in agriculture crop production in the way of soil application, foliar spraying and irrigation. A combination of such papers, as described in this review, can be helpful in determining acceptable ozone treatment parameters as well as factors affecting improved food quality and safety. It also includes a critical assessment of the benefits and drawbacks of ozone’s use in the food industry.Keywords
