N/A
Abstract: The total population of Pangkor Island in 2013 is about 17,162 and is made up of two major groups, Chinese residents (48.46%) followed by Malay residents (41.98%). The main economic activities of the residents here are fishing and tourism-related services. In 2010, more than 700000 visitors came to Pangkor Island. Although Pangkor managed to attract many tourists to the island, its infrastructure facilities require urgent upgrading. Despite a huge budget had been allocated for the constituency of Pangkor, the bulk goes to the Royal Malaysian Navy for upgrading the military facility such as the TLDM navy patrol boats. The main problem facing development on Pangkor Island is the lack of space for development. This is due to limited suitable land for development. Due to topographical constraints, only 10.3% of the total land space are suitable for development. Incidence of poverty is still high among the residents. Shortage of low-cost housing to meet the increasing demand of low-income groups has led to a proposal for the redevelopment of the southeastern portion of the island. These issues of social well-being are also linked to the political aspirations of the islanders.

N/A
Abstract: The contributions of pension board schemes to the Nigerian Capital Market have contributed a lot to the economic growth and development such as alleviation of poverty , buying of securities and social belongings to the retire civil servant among others. Pension is all about contract for fixed sum of money deducted from civil servant salary for future usage after retirement. A pension plan is a legally binding contract having an explicit retirement objectives. The Pension Reform Act 2014 was made to meet the challenges and provide effective and effective services. Secondary data was used to provide the theoretical framework for the study. At the end, conclusion and recommendation are provided.

N/A
Abstract: The internet has become a basic requirement in the management of organizations today. If an organization wants to remain relevant at this time and age and retain its competitive edge it has to adopt the usage of the internet. One can hardly imagine a successful enterprise operating without an effective website, for its production, marketing, communication and other business operations. In as much as the internet is a good thing to the management of organizations operations, it has its own challenges affecting employees’ productivity as it is prone to abuse by the employees who may be engaging much of their time in social networks like the facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Whats’ App and browsing different sites during work hours. As much as the internet has assisted in improvements in learning and research; measures need to be put in place in order to ensure that there is control of its usage and that there is a balance between employees’ social needs and organizational needs. The internet can be an incredible business tool as well as a potential threat to the achievement of organizational goals. This paper analyzes recent internet developments and specifically investigates the effect of the internet on employee performance and what some of the consequences would be if employees were allowed unrestricted access to these networks.

The recent development of non-monotone trust region methods
Baowei Liu
Page no 2015, 1(11): 303-309 |
N/A
Abstract: Trust region methods are a class of numerical methods for optimization. They compute a trial step by solving a trust region sub-problem where a model function is minimized within a trust region. In this paper, we review recent results on non-monotone trust region methods for unconstrained optimization problems. Generally, non-monotone trust region algorithms with non-monotone technique are more effective than the traditional ones, especially when coping with some extreme nonlinear optimization problems. Results on trust region sub-problems and regularization methods are also discussed.

N/A
Abstract: The binary quadratic equation represented by the negative pellian y2=60x2-15 is analyzed for its distinct integer solutions. A few interesting relations among the solutions are also given. Further, employing the solutions of the above hyperbola, we have obtained solutions of other choices of hyperbolas, parabolas and special Pythagorean triangle.

PU XI Oilfield, Putao Hua oil layer fluid Identification standard
Zhang Ruida
Page no 2015, 1(11): 317-320 |
N/A
Abstract: This paper based on crossplot and core data, analysis the Pu Xi oilfield, Putao Hua oil layer ‘s conventional logging response characteristic. Based on the describe of the three cored wells, Putao Hua oil layer is mainly made up with oil-water zone, and judging the Partial oil or water is very difficult. First normalized the well logging curves, elimination the influence of the nongeological factors to the well logging curves.After that, establishe the logging data intersection, and identify the lithology. The lithology crossplot are mainly depand on △SP, GR, HAC, RLLD, RLLS.ILD, ILM At last ensure the fluid standard.
