Two Sex model for Horizontal Transmission of STD in a constant homogeneous mixing population
Umar Malllam Abdulkarim
Abstract :In this paper, we examined the two sex model of Hsieh4 and Kimbir et al.,5, and extended these models to study transmission dynamics of socially transmitted disease,( STD ) in a proportional mixing population with vital dynamics, and no disease induced death. Our major focus is to reduce the cost of disease intervention towards eradication of curable STD, like gonorrhea and others, which is better achieved through preventive measure rather than treatment, a concept that is cheaper and affordable, in developing economies like ours. We have proposed a variant of the Kimbir et al.,5 model of prevention of HIV / AIDS in a varying population to study the transmission dynamics of STD. Stability of the equilibriums states are discussed via the reproductive ratio of the infection and the Routh - Hurwitz conditions on the model parameters. Threshold conditions for eradication and persistent of the disease are derived and interpretation are discussed.
Key words: Equilibrium states, reproductive ratio, Epidemics threshold, STD, stability.

Optimal reserve inventory between two machines under scbz property of interarrival times between breakdowns
S. Srinivasan*, A. Sulaiman** and R. Sathiyamoorthi***
Abstract : A system in which there are two machines in series is considered. The output of the first machine M1 is the input for the second machine M2. When machine M1 undergoes breakdown, the repair time of the same is taken to be a random variable. The machine M2 will be forced to be idle if there is no supply from M1. A reserve inventory between M1 and M2 is suggested so as to avoid the idle time of M2. So the determination of optimal reserve inventory between M1 and M2 has been attempted by several authors, taking the different associated costs. In this paper the optimal size of reserve inventory is derived under the assumption that the random variable which denotes interarrival times between successive breakdowns of M1 satisfies the so called "Setting the Clock Back to Zero" (SCBZ) property.

Effect of Vaccination and Population Area Size on the Transmission Dynamics of Bird- Flu Epidemics in a Proportionate Mixing Population
Umar M. A.
Abstract : We have examined the effect of vaccination, and population area size on the transmission dynamics of bird flu epidemics in a poultry farm, using two class of models, an age -structured epidemic model and a homogeneous epidemics model in which the transmission rate in the case of homogeneous model, is assumed not age-depended, while it is assumed age-dependent in the age-structured model. The per capital contact rate and the vital rates are assumed not age depended. It is observed in both cases, that the area size occupied by the population influences the rate of transmission of the virus. Wild birds, which are normally on free range, are observed to be responsible for the spread of the virus to poultry farms; however the transmission rate may be less than in poultry birds, due to their free range nature. This is not investigated this work. This is assumed to has helped to control the concentration of the wild birds population density in a particular location, where they are found, and less per capital contact rate. Thus, the disease spread is minimal. Threshold parameters for both models are examined to determine the stability of the non -trivial steady states.

MHD Free Convection Flow of a Viscous Fluid with Heat Source in Rotating System
AJAY KUMAR SINGH*, Y. K. SHARMA, M. K. YADAV and N. P. SINGH
Abstract : Free convection effects in unsteady flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, viscous liquid in a porous medium past an infinite isothermal, porous vertical plate with constant suction velocity in the presence of a heat source and transverse uniform magnetic field in a rotating system is studied. It is observed that an increase in heat source parameter or rotation parameter decreases primary velocity but increases secondary velocity. The effects of magnetic parameter or Grashof number on these velocities are noted in reverse order.

A cryptographic model with intrusion detection capability
Abayomi Joshua Jegede* and Salami Hamza Onoruoiza**
Abstract :The goal of this study is to develop a hybrid security model which combines the strengths of encryption with the capabilities of intrusion detection. The research conducts an exploratory study of the subject of encryption and intrusion detection. The model proposed here is a program model which is implemented as a totally decentralized distributed application consisting of three main systems (or modules): the encryption system, decryption system and intrusion detection system). These subsystems work together to achieve the overall objectives of the hybrid cryptosystem. The system flowchart is used to illustrate how each of the program module functions as well as their interactions in an overall system. Visual Basic is used as the language of implementation because it is highly interactive and has extensive support for modularity. The strength of this model is in its flexibility which provides the means for the security administrator to change the cryptographic keys as frequently as necessary.

Trie-like Structure for Implementation of Porter Stemming Algorithm
K. Thammi Reddy¹, M. Shashi2 and L. Prathap Reddy³
Abstract : Modern information retrieval is focused on the extraction of key terms from documents to aid in the accessing and navigation of web pages and electronic information. These key terms are used to represent a document in the search space. Relevance of a document for a query is determined in terms of presence or absence of common key terms. The obvious solution is to test for absolute matching of the key terms present in the query and the terms in the documents. However, the key terms may have many morphological variants that share similar semantic interpretations and it may be beneficial for the information retrieval system to consider these terms equivalent. The process of Stemming transforms morphological variants of a word into the root by removing the suffix and re-coding the remaining, if required. The transformation required for stemming a specific word will be decided based on the suffix of the word. Hence it is appropriate to accommodate all possible suffices/ending list in a structure that supports efficient matching of suffices with the ending of a word to be stemmed. We devised a Trie-like data structure for accommodating the ending list and appropriately suggesting the transformation procedures. We have implemented the most widely used stemmer algorithm known as Porter stemmer using the Trie-like structure and proved its efficiency compared to the standard implementation of Porter stemmer available for public on www. This paper presents the details of implementation and comparative analysis.

*Moses E. EKPENYONG and Udoma J. BASSEY
Abstract : In this paper we predict the meantime between deadlocks by developing a probabilistic model. With the model, we simulate using Visual Basic, three sets of meantime inputs: (1,5,10,...,50), (100,150,200,...,500) and (1000,150,...,5000) secs, days, weeks, months, etc, and obtain results under a 100% deadlock likelihood. Simulated results show that on the average and at any given time interval, for resources to perform a number of tasks concurrently, at least a deadlock is likely to occur at every sixteenth time.

R. Kannan, K.A. Venkatachalam, R. Sathiyamoorthi and *G. Malarvizhi
Abstract : In the study of HIV infection and its consequences the seroconversion of the infected is a vital event. The estimation of the expected time to cross the antigenic diversity threshold of the HIV infected over the time interval (0,t] is an important aspect which helps medical intervention. The interarrival times between successive sexual contacts of a non-infected with an infected is important factor that determines the expected time to seroconversion of the infected. Sathiyamoorthi and Kannan6 have obtained the expected time to seroconversion and its variance when interarrival times are i.i.d random variables and also the case where they are correlated, assuming the threshold distribution as exponential. In this paper it is assumed that the intercontact times between successive contacts are correlated random variables and the threshold distribution is gamma which does not satisfy the LMP property. Shock model with correlated intercontact time has been studied by Sathiyamoorthi5. In developing this model the results of Gurland2 has been used. The mean time to cross the antigenic diversity threshold and its variance are derived and numerical illustrations are provided.

Modelling of aerosol mass-size distributions at semi-arid environment based on markov model & pareto analysis
K. Sreenivasa Rao1 T.V. Ramakrishna Rao* R. Rama Krishna Reddy* and K. Sudhakar Babu1
Abstract : The measurements of total concentration and mass-size distribution of near-surface aerosols noted using a ten-channel Quartz Crystal Micro balance (QCM). QCM is operated at hourly intervals for 4-5 days in every month and the data for the years 2000 & 2001 at dry subhumid and semi-arid zone, Anantapur (14.62°N;77.65°E) is considered. The data is generally used to study the response of aerosol characteristics to regional mesoscale and synoptic processes. In this paper, we attempt to introduce dynamic stochasticity through Markov model and employ a well-known technique of ABC - Analysis generally known as Pareto Analysis to aerosol mass size distribution data and predict future state probabilities of aerosol mass size distribution through steady state. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such a methodology is developed synthesizing techniques in the theories of Operations Research and Stochastic Processes to probe into the random phenomenon of aerosol mass-size distributions. The theoretical results are well supported by empirical work on the aerosol mass sizes.

A Study of an Integral Transform and Fractional Integral Operator involving Generalized Mellin-Barnes Type Contour Integral
KANTESH GUPTA and VANDANA AGRAWAL
Abstract : In the present paper, we first define an integral transform whose kernel is generalized Mellin Barnes type contour integral which is popularly known in the literature as -function. Further, we define a fractional integral operator of general arguments and having -function as its kernel. Next, we establish an interesting theorem involving the image of our earlier defined integral transform in the fractional integral operator of our study. Then, we establish three new corollaries of our main theorem involving functions that are of interest by themselves. The importance of the present study lies in the fact that all our findings are unified and general in nature. Several new results can be obtained from our main theorem and corollaries as their special cases. We give here exact reference to two known results.

Planning and Selection of Field Operations through Decision Support System
P.K. Butey and Karan Singh*
Abstract  : The power and machinery is the single largest cost component constituting about 60% of the total investment cost on mechanized farm. Thus, the profit of a farm depends, to a great extent, on the appropriate mechanization and planning of the farm. The main constraint in the planning of farm mechanization has been due to the complexity of available machinery systems and their diversity with respect to type, size, number and operational characteristics. The complexity and importance of agricultural operations management has also increased as agriculture have adapted capital-intensive production systems stimulating the development of more formal planning and monitoring techniques. Planning being adapted include decision support systems aimed at achieving better production control. Specifically, this project addresses operational planning or scheduling of field operations. The planning procedure involves the allocation of time and resources to activities considering inherent uncertainty and risks. The method used is applied decision analysis together with the principles of Bayesian networks.

P. Rajkhowa and Shaikh Fokor Uddin Ali Ahmed*
Abstract  : In this paper, we derive some new identities of the Rogers - Ramanujan type related to modulo 17,19,51 and 57 using multiple summations.
Historical development : The following two identities, for |q|<l, namely

and 

are the celebrated Rogers- Ramanujan identities. These two identities have motivated extensive research over the past 100 years. These identities were first discovered and proved by L.J. Rogers in 1894. In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan, unaware of Rogers' work, obtained the results independently. In 1917, I.J. Schur of Germany, again discovered these identities independently.
In the ensuing decades, Ramanujan, Rogeres, G.N. Watson, W.N. Bailey, L.J. Slater and others discovered several other identities of different moduli. More recently the work of G.E. Andrews needs special mention. A. Verma and V.K. Jain have done some good work.
There are two aspects of these identities : the analytical aspect and the combinatorial aspect. In these paper we study only the analytical aspect.

Abstract : In recent years, advances in molecular genetics technologies such as DNA microarrays allow for the first time to obtain a "global" view of the cell. Researchers can now routinely investigate the biological molecular state of a cell measuring the simultaneous expression of tens of thousands of genes using DNA microarrays. In the present work, the datamining for such a DNA microarray data has been focused in greater details. To fulfill this need datamining technique has been developed based on the analysis of literature profiles generated by extracting the frequencies of certain terms from thousands of abstracts stored in the Medline literature database. The 'cell slide images' have been processed to calculate different gene values in the particular slide which in turn maintain the database for cluster analysis and visualization which helps to compare database of DNA sample images for disease diagnosis . The diseases taken into consideration in the present work are cancer, hepatatis and diabetis.

Flow in a rotating porous annulus of variable permeability due to suction and injection
K. Jayarami Reddy1, G. Venkata Ramana Reddy2 and N. BhaskaR Reddy

Abstract : We consider a highly porous material occupying the annular region between two coaxial infinitely long cylinders. A viscous incompressible fluid fills the porous medium and is initially in a state of rigid rotation together with the medium. The porous annulus is partly of constant permeability (up to some radius) and the rest is of variable permeability, in such a way that the permeability is a continuous function of radius in the entire annulus. The flow has been disturbed by imposing suction/ injection at the outer/ inner cylindrical boundary respectively. The rate of injection at the inner cylinder is equal to the rate of suction at the outer cylinder. The Brinkman's law has been used to represent the motion in the porous medium. We consider the steady flow corresponding to this problem. An exact analytical solution is obtained in terms of Bessel functions. The manner in which the steady boundary layer gets modified by the presence of a variable permeability has been examined. It has been established that by a careful choice of variable permeability of the medium, the flow can be regulated so as to make the velocity nearly constant in the entire channel except in the boundary layer on the source and the sink. The results are compared with the already existing theories in the case of constant permeability.
