The following research project has been produced in order to analyse the UK Tropical Freshwater Fish Market and the most prominent Importers, Distributors, Wholesalers & Retailers within the country. This project will also look further into the pricing, popularity and varieties of fish that are purchased by consumers in the UK. Finally we will look at a new innovative strategy, which has never previously been combined to such strict measures, for the transportation of tropical fish. This model ensures tropical fish experience less stress during their journey, with increased survival rates and extended life spans, whilst abiding by any regulations from authorities. After analysing all of these different areas, it will allow any new Importer & Distributor to make a well-informed decision as to whether or not the UK is a promising market to enter. Along with an extremely detailed specifications to adhere to, when transporting tropical fish across the world. The findings for this research are that the UK has a vast market for Ornamental Tropical freshwater fish, which continues to grow every year and has great potential. This however comes with lots of fierce competition in every stage of the supply chain. There have been a few key steps determined, which would need to be implemented in order to allow for the successful start of a new Importer & Distributor within the country. These steps have been displayed within the conclusion below. Lastly the innovative model to transport tropical fish further across the globe, has been demonstrated by combining and streamlining ten influential areas with newer technologies to create a revolutionary system. Strict regulations and time frames that are to be maintained and adhered to at all times in order for the success of this model.

Stationarity analysis is a must for various studies in many fields that employ time series analysis. adfcs function in causfinder package in R performs Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test that takes into account the usage of same (i.e., common) sub-sample for all of the lag orders for the autoregressive process when stationarity is investigated. As is known, in all of the lag selection procedures in econometrics, same sub-sample must be used to determine the correct optimal minimum lag. We bouqoueted adfcs functions in adfcstable function whose functional value is a table that reveals all of the needed stationarity analysis of all the variables in a given system in a couple of seconds. In the returned ADF table, the results of all of the three standard cases (“both drift and time trend”, “drift without time trend” and “no drift, no time trend”) are presented for all of the variables in question. Whether the drift and time trend coefficients in the ADF regressions is significant is specified. adfcstable reveals the inconclusivities of ADF tests (the coefficient of the 1st lag of the dependent variable in the right of ADF regression is not “<0”; in the left, the dependent variable appear with the differenced form) whenever there appears such cases. It also presents optimal minimum lag order for the ADF regressions. We used three datasets from various fields: a dataset of functional integration of brain, a dataset for the determinants of foreign direct investment in Turkey, and a dataset for the determinants of current account deficit of Turkey.

We give the exact analytical description for the dynamics of an atom coupled to field mode in dissipative cavity by using the master equation. The effects of thermal photon (n≠0) on entanglement and coherence loss are achievement. It is found that the field is inhibited from going into a pure state and coherence is lost faster than in the case of zero temperature (n=0).

Abstract.The Armenian allegations related to the relocation of Armenians during the beginning of First World War, mainly built on the book titled "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story" written by so-called Mr. Henry Morgenthau Sr. .Actually the book was written by the Pulitzer Prize winner of the era Mr. Burton J. Hendrick. He is the ghost writer of this doubtful book and received a very huge lump sum of money from Mr. Morgenthau for his very professional, devoted and rapacious services.The fact is that Ambassador Morgenthau officiated as an US Ambassador in Istanbul from late 1913 to early 1916 but never travelled eastwards on the overland. His book is totally based on hearings and makeup stories created by the two Armenian US Embassy employees. No information in this book is based on any official document released by any neighboring country to the Ottoman Empire or even the US Senate or Congress.When this book is checked against Mr. Morgenthau's Diary, it can be clearly observed by anybody that it includes made up stories rather than reflecting the true life memories.This paper, based on information excerpted from the non Turkish or non Ottoman formal documents and/or official releases, tries the bring into life what happened actually during this era.Keywords: Morgenthau, Armenian, Relocation, 1915, Deportation1 INTRODUCTIONThe Armenian allegations on the matters related to relocation of Armenians in the year 1915, mainly based on two books.One of these two books is titled "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story".

The paper examined the thermal radiation effect on unsteady megnetohydrodynamic flow past a vertical porous plate with variable suction is analyzed. The non dimensional governing equations are formed with the help of suitable dimensionless governing parameter. The resultant coupled non dimensional governing equations are solved by a finite element method. The velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are derived, discussed numerically and their profiles for various values of physical parameters are shown through graphs. The coefficient of skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number at the plate are derived, discussed numerically and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are presented through Tables. It is observed that, when the radiation parameter increases the velocity and temperature increase in the boundary layer. Also, it is found that as increase in the magnetic field leads to decrease in the velocity field and rise in the thermal boundary thickness.

Mobile learning is the next step in the development of distance learning. Widespread access to mobile devices and the opportunity to learn regardless of time and place make the mobile learning an important tool for lifelong learning. The research objectives are to examine the possibility of acceptance in mobile learning (m-Learning) and study main factors that affect using m- Learning that focus on higher education students in Saudi Arabia. The researcher used a quantitative approach survey of 80 students. The modified acceptance framework that based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model is adopted to determine the factors that influence the students’ intention to use m-Learning. The results from statistical analysis show that the acceptance level of students on m-Learning is in the high level.

This study empirically examine the impact of international trade on economic growth in Nigeria from 1970-2010. Being a time series data, to avoid spurious regression result, the first step was to test for stationary of the data by using Phillips Peron unit root test. Then Johansen (1988) technique was used to establish if the non-stationary variable are cointegrated. The result of stationary and normality test reveals that the model is fairly well specified and could be used for policy analysis. Empirical investigations reveal that three variables are statistically significant at 5% and these variables are export, foreign direct investment and exchange rate and they are positively related to real GDP while other variables such as import, inflation rate, openness exert a negative influence on real GDP. The study demonstrates that increase participation in global trade helps Nigeria to reap static and dynamic benefit of international trade despite non conformity of the coefficient of the openness. Both international trade volume and trade structure towards high technology export result in positively effect on Nigeria economy. We therefore recommend that the government should design appropriate strategy by diversifying the economy through export promotion, stimulating foreign direct investment and exchange rate stability in order to boost productivity of Nigeria economy by raising the standard of living of the citizens.

The problem of non-uniqueness arising in the integral formulation of an exterior boundary value problem for the elastic two-dimensional case can be faced using the fundamental solution technique. In this work a criterion based on the minimization of the norm of the modified integral operator is established using simple multipole coefficients. As an example of the proposed procedure the case of the circle and perturbations of circle are examined.
