THERMAL ANALYSIS OF MANGANESE (II) BAKELITE COMPOSITES IAEME Publication
Manganese (II) Bakelite composites with variable salt concentration of MnCl2.4H2O were prepared. The composite samples were characterized by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). From the TGA and DSC, it was seen that there was beneficial effect of increasing salt concentration on thermal stability of the composite in comparison to pure Bakelite resin.
Segmentation of Brain MR Images for Tumor Extraction by Combining Kmeans Clus...CSCJournals
Segmentation of images holds an important position in the area of image processing. It becomes more important while typically dealing with medical images where pre-surgery and post surgery decisions are required for the purpose of initiating and speeding up the recovery process [5] Computer aided detection of abnormal growth of tissues is primarily motivated by the necessity of achieving maximum possible accuracy. Manual segmentation of these abnormal tissues cannot be compared with modern day’s high speed computing machines which enable us to visually observe the volume and location of unwanted tissues. A well known segmentation problem within MRI is the task of labeling voxels according to their tissue type which include White Matter (WM), Grey Matter (GM) , Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and sometimes pathological tissues like tumor etc. This paper describes an efficient method for automatic brain tumor segmentation for the extraction of tumor tissues from MR images. It combines Perona and Malik anisotropic diffusion model for image enhancement and Kmeans clustering technique for grouping tissues belonging to a specific group. The proposed method uses T1, T2 and PD weighted gray level intensity images. The proposed technique produced appreciative results

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Data Suggests Modest Economic Expansion through Early 2016
The Conference Board Leading Economic Index declined 0.2% for the month of January. The 0.2% decline was in-line with esti-
mates. This is the second consecutive month of decline, with December’s decline revised to 0.3% from an original 0.2% decline.
The press release stated revised to 0.3% from an original 0.2% decline. The press release stated “Despite back-to-back monthly
declines, the index doesn’t signal a significant increase in the risk of recession, and its six-month growth rate remains consiste-
nt with a modest economic expansion through early 2016.”
Industrial Production Strong;
Capacity Utilization Rises U.S. industrial production was strong in January, increasing 0.9% for the month. This waswell above
consensus estimates. Industrial production had declined for the previous three consecutive months. Weather is an attributable
factor in the strong January number as the index for utilities rose 5.4% for the month as January was much colder than Decemb-
er. Capacity utilization increased during the month, rising to 77.1 in January from 76.4 in December.
