Language is not only a system of rules but also a dynamic resource for the creation of meaning. Thus, it becomes imperative to distinguish between knowing various grammatical rules and being able to use these rules effectively when communicating. This view has underpinned one of the most popular approaches to language teaching: Communicative Language Teaching (CLL). Accordingly, the shift in the teaching of English and the role of English Language Teaching (ELT) in higher education stand as evidence to it. There is a growing stress on the processes and means rather than the products of a language. In recent years, communication has become the main focus of second language curriculum. Consequently, Content-Based Language Learning (COBALL) assumes one of the leading positions in the language teaching-learning process. Given this background, the present study aims at examining the positive effects of COBALL on the learning of a second language for Technology and Management Students. The results of the study indicate that COBALL provides students with the necessary social and academic skills, promoting productivity and achievement. The study also focuses on the integration of COBALL and communicative approach to language teaching and draws implications for the creation of SL curriculum for technology and management studies. © 2017 IUP.

In traditional DBMS system handled well structured and no two elements occur twice. But more than one occurrence is quite natural in big data processing. Moreover last decades many characteristics (like volume, variety, value) coupled with the data, makes the searching complex for the traditional database system. Effective way of storing the data makes it easier way to processes the data. The main objective of this paper is to find similarity over large data that needs effective and efficient processing of raw data within a satisfactory response time. © RJPT All right reserved.

The aim of this work was to study the accumulation of phytoene in Dunaliella salina V-101 by down-regulating its phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene expression using RNA interference and Antisense technology. RNAi and antisense constructs were introduced into the Dunaliella cells by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Among thirty-two transformants, six showed positive down-regulation of PDS expression with RNAi construct and five positive transformants were obtained using antisense construct. Characterization of PDS suppression was carried out using semi-quantitative RT-PCR and quantitative determination of phytoene as well as other carotenoids by HPLC. Both the RNAi and antisense lines showed a significant decrease in the expression levels of phytoene desaturase and carotenoid content compared to wild type cells. The RNAi line #5 showed maximum Phytoene content (108.34 ± 22.34 µg/100 mg DCW) compared to other transgenic lines. These phytoene-accumulating phenotypes exhibited slower growth rates and were found to be sensitive to high light conditions. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

Recently, cloud computing has become an important part of Information Technology. Cloud computing is a network based environment which provides platform for sharing and processing data and services over internet. Cloud computing is one of the greatest trendy vocabulary in the PC world nowadays. It permits asset sharing that incorporates programming, stage and framework by means of virtualization. Virtualization is the center innovation behind cloud asset sharing. This condition endeavors to be alterable, dependable, and adjustable with an ensured nature of administration. It gives the capacity to use versatile, circulated processing conditions through the Internet. Throughout the years, cloud computing has developed from being a capable business idea to a quickly developing part in IT associations. It has developed as a capable facilitating stage that permits a wise utilization of a gathering of uses, data and framework included pools of PC, system and capacity assets. In any case, undertaking clients are as yet cautious to send their business in the cloud. Security is one of the key component which hamper development of cloud computing. It is as quite a bit of an issue in the cloud as it is anyplace else. Distinctive individuals share diverse point of view on distributed computing. Some trust it is dangerous to utilize cloud. Cloud merchants make a special effort to guarantee security.Cloud computing has ability to solve various problems but it cannot address certain issues like reliability, performance and security, among which security is the most common issue seen in cloud computing. This paper proposes some solutions to some security issues. © 2017, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc. All rights reserved.

The discourse and practice of science are deeply connected to explicit and implicit narratives of nature. However, nature has been understood in diverse ways by cultures across the world. Could these different views of nature generate the possibility of alternate views on science? Part of the innovative series Science and Technology Studies, this volume looks at different conceptualizations of nature and the manner in which they structure the practice of the sciences. The essays draw upon philosophy, history, sociology, religion, feminism, mathematics and cultural studies, and establish a dialogue between cultures through a multi-disciplinary exploration of science. With contributions from major scholars in the field, this volume will deeply interest scholars and students of science and technology studies; sociology, history and philosophy of science; as also environmental studies. © 2015 Jobin M.

Abstract The article offers a cognitive subject-oriented perspective on language and its acquisition with a focus on grammar. By sketching out the cognitive mechanisms of languaging ‘conceptual complexes' or mental categories through grammar means, the authors endeavour to define and formulate their semantic representations which are supposed to meet three prime objectives, namely to 1) reflect the orientation effect of grammar forms and constructions used in the process of speech production as coordination of his/her own interactions; 2) interpret the meaningful content and mental imaging associated in the subject's mind with this or that grammar form; 3) serve as an auxiliary technique in understanding and explaining English grammar for various teaching and learning purposes. The proposed approach and delineated technique are showcased by the verbs forms of present simple and present progressive whose cognitive essence and interpretative models are described and analysed in minute detail. Keywords: Cognitive grammar; cognition, English tense forms, simple and progressive tenses

Social, political, and historical event continue to be a significant theme adopted by various writers throughout the world to reveal the situations that occurred in the past and continue till date. Contemporary Indian writers use these themes to reflect the impact of events and its effect on the ordinary people. They mainly focus on socio-political issues like war, violence, displaced communities, and marginalization. Rohinton Mistry is one among these writers whose works reflect the contemporary social and political life of the parsi community. Nostalgia, alienation, diaspora, politics and marginalization form the basic tenet of Rohinton Mistry's novels. Such a Long Journey is one of the important works by Mistry which explore the various aspects of India like culture, community, administration, society, life, and faith of the Parsi community. Mistry, re-portrays the historical backdrop of this group and nation as it has been in the post-independence period. This paper attempts to analyze the experience, anguish, and the nostalgic feeling of the Parsi community in India even after the independence. © Serials Publications.
