'Teaching is an imp'ortant art. Because it is important, it must be measured through appropriate means, respectful to that art." Michael Krueger, psychology mayor and summa cum laude, designed the present course evaluation. The above remarks r eflect Krueger's opinions concerning the validity of course evaluation. The present evaluation has been c ir culated among 94 courses and is expected to ...

Using double sampling technique, a generalized difference-cum-ratio type estimator has been proposed for estimating the population mean. The expressions for bias and mean square error of proposed estimator have been obtained. The conditions under which proposed estimator is better than the regression estimator and mean per unit estimator have also been obtained. The gain in efficiency over the ...

The members of the committee were Prof. Dr. Martin Volk (University of Zurich, Institute of Computational Linguistics), Prof. Dr. Balthasar Bickel (University of Zurich, Departm...

Maze-cum-activity cage is devised in order to record the activity shift patterns of incentive drive of rats. The main features of this instrument are its low cost, simplicity or recording system and evaluation of time shift patterns of the activity when animal is moving for preferential cues such as food, water socio-sexual environment provided in the cage during a 24 hour period.

The rat is a frequently used experimental model in studies involving human disease. We review several methods of inducing hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis in rats. These include induction by hepatotoxins and hepatocarcinogens such as carbon tetrachloride, dimethylnitrosamine, thioacetamide and furan; the hepatoxin-cum-nutrient, alcohol; a high fat-low choline-low protein diet; immunologic agents ...

In this paper, we address the end-to-end rate optimization problem in a wired-cum-wireless network, where CSMA/CA based wireless LANs extend a wired backbone and provide access to mobile users. The objective is to achieve proportional fairness amongst the end-to-end sessions in the network. Since the network contains wireless links whose attainable throughput is ‘elastic’ and is a non-convex an...

Industrial automation is a sector having vast possibilities for major improvements. The system described in this paper consists of a console master computer (CMC) which will monitor various physical nodes usually found in a large industry. The proposed work analyzes the capability of CAN networking which includes data traffic management. The CMC is designed using MATLAB 7.12; the CAN networking...
