Abstract: Outcome Based Education (OBE) is an approach in the field of engineering education, accepted recent years all over world. Output terms Cumulative Grade Points Average (CGPA), pass percentage, etc. has been traditional measurement education whereas outcome focuses on level transformation and achievement student. Every institution endeavours to fulfil its mission through programs which ...

Features of cyanobacteria are introduced for non-specialists by highlighting topics in the various chapters. Aspects where much more is known now than a decade ago are pointed out, such as the importance of cyanobacterial nitrogen fi xation in the oceans. This is followed by an account of the recent molecular studies most relevant for ecologists, especially topics not mentioned elsewhere in the...

This paper introduces an initial effort towards developing a framework for writing an effective literature review. The target audience for the framework are novice IS researchers or other researchers who are constantly struggling with the development of an effective literature-based foundation for the proposed research. The proposed framework follows the systematic data processing approach comp...

Plant taxonomy is the science of identifying, describing, classifying, and naming plants. The different classifications have fundamental differences in phylogenetic, ecological, molecular, or morphological data each taxon. morphology algae influenced by environmental conditions. Algal cells can modulate their physiology metabolism changing morphology, including shape size, response to stresses ...

Assessing anatomy in a way that tests higher cognitive domains and clinical application is not always straightforward. The old "spotter" examination has been criticized for only testing low level "identify" knowledge, whereas other assessment modalities such as multiple choice questions do not reflect the three dimensional and application nature of clinical anatomy. Medical curricula are freque...

Question classification module of a Question Answering System plays a very important role in identifying and providing results according to the user expectations. There are different types of methods involved during classification that can be applied to all kinds of domain like machine learning or using lexical database with its own advantages and disadvantages. Identifying the relevant approac...

There is growing evidence that the spatial and temporal incidence of harmful algal blooms is increasing, posing potential risks to human health and ecosystem sustainability. Currently there are no US Federal guidelines, Water Quality Criteria and Standards, or regulations concerning the management of harmful algal blooms. Algal blooms in freshwater are predominantly cyanobacteria, some of which...

We propose a new operational definition for summer phytoplankton blooms based on station-specific chlorophyll a distributions. This definition has been applied to a large monitoring data set from the Kattegat, a shallow marginal sea affected by man-induced eutrophication, in order to describe spatial and temporal variations of summer blooms as well as their underlying cause. Blooms were associa...

introduction one of the important events that usually occur in seas and large water bodies’ concurrent with the change of season is the growth and species increase of phytoplankton. in the natural environment, this event does not result in imbalances of water ecosystems. however, pollution caused by human activities results in excessive growth and reproduction of phytoplankton and other opportu...

Periodic blooms of algae, including true algae, dinoflagellates, and cyanobacteria or blue-green algae have been reported in marine and freshwater bodies throughout the world. Although many blooms are merely an aesthetic nuisance, some species of algae produce toxins that kill fish, shellfish, humans, livestock and wildlife. Pigmented blooms of toxinproducing marine algae are often referred to ...
