Face is one among the foremost important human's biometrics which is used frequently in every day human communication and due to some of its unique characteristics plays a major role in conveying identity and emotion. So far numerous methods have been proposed for face recognition, but it's still remained very challenging in real world applications and up to date; there is no technique which equals human ability to recognize faces despite many variations in appearance that the face can have in a scene and provides a strong solution to all situations.

It is obvious that, for any country that is anticipating to be successful in today's end-users' community, that country's sectors' managers need to apply some sufficient efforts in order to render assistance to the indigenous mining companies to outcompete the other firms in the region. Among many possible activities, cost reduction in mineral beneficiation is regarded as one of the core areas presenting enormous opportunities for the West country, Liberia. The country like Liberia who is endowed with an impressive stock of mineral reserves and has traditionally relied on mining, namely iron ore, gold, and diamonds, as a major source of income is not exempted.

Review on using DLC in making tyres. DLC films have been used as protective coatings for various applications. We can use DLC to improve the tyre’s life especially for sports cars and supercars like Lamborghini and Bugatti Chiron. And also in military vehicles for making the tyres bulletproof. DLC is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. DLC is usually applied as coatings to other materials that could benefit from some of those properties but we can use DLC in the synthesis of tyre’s rubber (for making threads) and ply thus improving the overall quality of the tyres.

This paper tries to see the association among reserve, aggregate consumption expenditure, and economic growth by employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. Both the explanatory variables such as consumption and reserve are statistically significant. The consumption expenditure is strongly affecting the economic growth both in the short and long-term. Performing the ADF and PP test the variables are integrated order of one I(1). The bound test confirmed that the long-term association exists between the variables. There ¬is a unidirectional association found among the variables.

Fruits like apricot have high water activity and they are highly heat sensitive and easily degradable. About 50% of the apricot fruit produced in a year getting wasted due to the short harvest season and the sensitivity to storage even at refrigerated conditions. For that drying methods are used and dehydration must not only be efficient and economic but also yield high-quality products based on flavour, nutrients, colour, rehydration, uniformity, appearance, and texture.

Geotechnical problems such as problematic soils (expansive soil, organic soil, natural collapsible soils, etc.), problematic rock (shale, weathered limestone), soil slope instability and rock slope instability or rock fall (landslide) which damaged civil engineering structures, such as roads, buildings, dams, railway, and other related structures in Ethiopia. The research was conducted by identifying the geotechnical problems and its effects on road segments in the north west part of Ethiopia, specifically along Gilgel Belles – Bahir Dar road segments. Gilgel Beles – Bahirdar road segment which passes on the hilly and mountainous terrain are characterized by variable topographical, geological, hydrological and land-use condition.

In an attempt to find an alternative binding material for construction industry, this study considered the use of wood ash from two different hardwoods namely: Melina wood ash and Cashew wood ash as a pozzolan in cement production. The study investigates the chemical composition (silica (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), ferric oxide (Fe2O3), calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), sulphur trioxide (SO3), sodium oxide (Na2O) and potassium Oxide (K2O)) of the ashes and the clinker.

Supersaturated design is essentially a fractional factorial design in which the number of potential effects is greater than the number of runs. In this paper, a super-saturated design is constructed using half fraction of Hadamard matrix of order N. A Hadamard matrix of order N, can investigate up to N 2 factors in N/2 runs. Result is shown in N = 16. The extension to larger N is adaptable.
