The microwave imaging is explored as an imaging modality for early detection of breast cancer. When exposed to electromagnetic waves, the breast tumor has electrical properties that are substantially different from those of healthy breast tissue. This article describes a study for the detection of breast cancer. We examine the ability to detect tumors by a microstrip patch antenna operating at a frequency of 2.45GHz. Using a simple model in the form of a cone. This model consists of the breast skin and fat and the tumor tissues. The study is done according to several distances between the patch antenna and the model of the breast. Simulation results are presented, namely, reflection coefficient, VSWR and radiation pattern of the antenna patch and the current density in the breast skin, fatty tissue and the tumor and also the distribution of magnetic field to give us a clear insight into the concept studied.
The present paper aims at identifying SMEs' export marketing strategy (EMS) and export performance (EP). A consistent interest in international marketing has been to study factors influencing SMEs' export performance. To this end, a survey of 216 Tunisian SMEs was conducted. The results indicate that technological benefits have a positive effect on SMEs adaptation, which positively affects EP. They also indicate that firm size positively relates to export growth.
The research problem is summarized in the shortage of the teaching methods used in the teaching of grammatical rules that led to a decline in the level of achievement and failure in the development of skills beyond the knowledge of students in the first grade secondary illustrated by numerous students.
This study aimed at examining root causes leading to persistence of land conflicts between Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) and Maasai community in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Specifically, the study examine causes for land conflicts between Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority and Maasai community and examines efforts made by the government and other stakeholders to resolve land conflicts between Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority and Maasai community. Both primary and secondary data were collected. Primary data were collected through interview, questionnaires and observation. Secondary data were collected from various reports. A total of 109 respondents were drawn from Oloirobi and Moklari /Misigyo villages out of 13,940 populations. The findings concluded that Maasai have little awareness on laws/by-laws on environmental conservation that led to the persistence of land conflicts between Maasai community and Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority. Moreover, the study find that, the number of livestock increase yearly compared to the area located for pastoralists to graze their livestock as a result pastoralists graze in areas which is not allowed.
The study investigates environmental impact of indiscriminate waste disposal on river channel in part of Akoko-Region, Ondo State, Nigeria. The study further identified; method of waste disposal within the study area, influence of waste disposal method on open space and streams, reaction of water to waste disposal method, environmental problems associated with waste deposited on river channel. Primary data for the study were generated through questionnaire administration and water sample analysis. Sixty questionnaires were systematically distributed in each of the selected sampled locations that included Ise, Akunu, Ikakumo, Ugbe and Ikare settlements based on interval of fourth house from another house. Twenty-two water samples were randomly collected from the selected sampled settlement in order to identify their physical properties using in-situ method. Simple percentages were employed for data analysis while tables and figures presented findings of study. It was observed that wastes are being flushed into streams and thereby affects the odor, taste and coloration of water quality. Flooding activities identified in this area is majorly caused by indiscriminate waste disposal that blocks water drainages. The study therefore recommends provision of waste management strategy that will ensure neatness of environment and avoid pollution of water with effective refuse collection and disposal system within the study area and the related environments.

Indian Mobile Network Operators (MNO) are in preparation to launch a major scale up of the mobile money services (MMS) following the policy recommendations by the Mobile Money Association of India (MMAI) through the leadership of Dr. Nachiket Mor. This has led to drastic changes in mobile money service regulations, setting a level playing ground for the MNOs. Enabling regulations, well-developed mobile network, and a huge customer base is an opportunity for the Indian MMS to grow to the level of Mpesa in Kenya. However, research indicates that many mobile money launches rarely meet the set targets. They project their growth based on the existing mobile phone subscribers and on the Mpesa's strategy in Kenya. This leads to dismal performance in the first twelve months. To mitigate the potential investment losses, management team of the MNOs need to understand the factors that may hinder rapid uptake of mobile money services. This paper presents the findings of a survey on behavior influence on usage and acceptance of mobile money services both in India and in Kenya.
