This paper introduces Amharic text chunker using conditional random fields. To get the optimal feature set of the chunker; the researchers’ conduct different experiments using different scenarios until a promising result obtained. In this study different sentences are collected from Amharic grammar books, new articles, magazines and news of Walta Information Center (WIC) for the training and testing datasets. Thus, these datasets were analyzed and tagged manually and used as a corpus for our model training and testing. The entire datasets were chunk tagged manually for the training dataset and approved by linguistic professionals. For the identification of the boundary of the phrases IOB2 chunk specification is selected and used in this study. The result of all experiments is reported with the maximum overall accuracy off 97.26%, with a window size of two on both sides, with their corresponding POS tag of each token and the worst performance achieved is 84.57%, with only the window size of one word on both the left and right sides.

Background: The health care practitioner face challenges brought by technology. This include introduction of latest technology; it uses and the way to operate certain machines or devices. The nurse can lose their confidence in performing their duty if they are uncertain to some devices. There is no proper flow of work. The nurse must ensure that the patient must understand the effect of technology and its changes in care

Purpose: This study aims to know the lived experiences of nurses in caring patient with the use of latest technology and to know the lived experiences of nurses but aim to present to the patient technology and new devices that have to improve the quality of life for patients and healthcare professionals.

Methods: This study will use van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological approach to generate and analyze data to describe the experience of five nurses in relation to caring the patient. Van Manen’s approach is useful in having knowledge in a reflective situation and promote skill in certain relationship and situations that applied in nursing practice

Results: Technologies have been increasingly used to save and sustain human lives. Significance to knowing the person – a continuous process in which the nurse and the nursed four thematic categories structured the meaning of the experience: Technology in health, technology in caring, technological competency in caring and technological knowing formed thematic categories.

Conclusion: Technological competency as caring in nursing is the harmonious coexistence between technologies and caring in nursing. The illumination of nurses in caring with the use of technological competency is important in harmonization of concepts that places the practice of nursing within the context of modern healthcare and acknowledges that these concepts can co-exist. Understanding the nurses’ experiences in rendering the best care to the patient with the use of latest technology.

A laboratory experimental study was carried out to explore the possibility of using sewage sludge ash (SSA) and fly-ash (FA) with soil for improving the soil engineering properties that can be used in engineering applications. Primarily, four engineering properties tests: grain size distribution, proctor compaction, Atterberg limits, and unconfined compressive strengths (UCS) for several arbitrarily selected curing periods were conducted for soil samples mixed with SSA and FA together. The test results revealed that the mixing of soil with SSA-FA together improved the soil type and the soil engineering properties. The UCS increased substantially for both the soil samples mixed with 7.5%SSA-50%FA and 10%SSA-40%FA for a curing period of 28 days. Potentially 7.5 – 10% of SSA and 40 – 50% of FA can be utilized as a beneficial use when mixed with appropriate soil in combination of SSA-FA that would otherwise go to landfill. Overall, the application of SSA-FA mixing with appropriate soil type could be a viable alternative management route for both the wastes and provide a potential sustainable engineering construction material.

Social and political worries in his works abundantly show that he has been an incredible admirer and supporter of Mahatma Gandhi. He upholds Gandhi’s rule of peacefulness however he has an inside and out various methodology towards abstinence. Chastity is an issue Gandhiji followed for the duration of his life while Khushwant Singh is in conflict with Gandhi’s refutation of sex however he leaves it on close to home wish of an individual and he, when all is said and done, has commended sex in his books. Being a popular writer and a columnist Khushwant Singh shows extraordinary worry towards the utilization of language in correspondence. He remarks upon lavishness and use of English, Hindi, Urdu and other local dialects of India. Khushwant Singh understands the language issue justifies a genuine consideration, since an age has developed which is debilitated by absence of capability in any language.

In this paper a modified fractal microstrip patch antenna is designed and simulated. The three iterative forms of the designed antennas is considered. The designed antennas have the multiband wireless applications such as IEEE 802.11 a (5 GHz), b (2.4 GHz) g (2.4GHz) and n (2.4/5 GHz). The designed antennas also show the wide band behavior at different resonating frequencies. The radiation pattern of the designed antennas is omnidirectional in all the fractal geometries. The band width at the resonating frequency of 2.4 GHz is nearly   one GHz with a return loss of – 11 dB. The return loss achieved at 3.6 GHz is 13.5 dB and at 5 GHz is 16 dB. The antenna also shows the wide band behavior between 5 GHz and 6 GHz. The simulation of these antennas is done using HFSS.

Complex formation tendencies of Pb(II) with [Bz (2-NO₂)-Gly-OH], also known as o-Nitro Benzoyl Glycine, and Succinte ions have been studied Polarographically and the stability constants were calculated. The analytical studies of subsequent formation of simple and mixed complexes show that [Pb(Succ)₂(o-NBG)]^3- and [Pb(Succ)(o-NBG)]^2- are strongly favored over the simple complexes. Further the complex species [Pb(Succ)(o-NBG)]^2- is more stable than the species [Pb(Succ)₂(o-NBG)J^3-.

After the discovery of wavelets, wavelets have great variety of applications but negative point of wavelets is no clean time-frequency density concept but the existence of orthonormal wavelets has good time-frequency localization. The orthonormal wavelets are set up to play a major role in wavelet theory and have a big variety of applications. Historically, the HAAR basis is the first orthonormal wavelet basis which was given long before the term “wavelet” was invented. In this paper, we discuss orthonormality condition of wavelets with Riesz basis.

The use of bituminous schist is imposed by a significant increase in the price of bituminous binders, simultaneously with the gradual degradation of the road network in Romania, as well as with the increase of motorization and, therefore, the limitation of rehabilitation possibilities due to high costs. By incorporating bituminous schist into the asphalt mixture, a significant reduction in the amount of bitumen conventionally used is achieved, a binder that is currently only imported.

Also, given the progressive increase in demand for asphalt mixtures, and consequently for road bitumen, correlated with the quantitative and qualitative deficit of this essential material in road works, highlighted the importance of use in the preparation of bituminous mixtures of unconventional components, such as bituminous schist.

Considering that the only norm based on which the technological recipes for asphalt mixtures with bituminous sand are made underwent the last modifications in 1985, one of the specific objectives of the doctoral thesis was to update the technical specifications contained in the norm in order to streamline the process. associated with these mixtures and for a better national implementation of these practices. Without this long-awaited review, the use of this unconventional material would become more difficult, although it has both technical, economic and environmental benefits.

This report presents studies performed on experimental and theoretical activities, undertaken in order to acquire new knowledge on the specified materials, respectively the crushing sand used in the preparation of asphalt mixtures, based on observations, tests and interpretation of laboratory results, which, based on some already existing knowledge will lead to a significant improvement of the knowledge of applicability of these materials in a specific field, respectively that of construction materials.

Regarding the studies on bituminous schist, it is proposed to continue the research by preparing different types of technological recipes for asphalt mixtures where the classic sand is replaced with bituminous shale crushing sand and determining the physical-mechanical characteristics by laboratory tests.
