Adaptive approach for sorting the list: Top hill method
The reason behind finding this method is to decrease the time of insertion. Sort by using pivot method of quick sort , binary searching and doubly linked list. By using all these methods in a combination this method can sort real-time data and increase the size of the list with the worst case of O(n).

Cost-Aware Secure Routing (CASER) protocol for wireless sensor networks
Lifetime optimization and security are two conflicting design issues for multi-hop wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with non-replenishable energy resources. In this paper, we first propose a novel secure and efficient Cost-Aware Secure Routing (CASER) protocol to address these two conflicting issues through two adjustable parameters: energy balance control (EBC) and probabilistic-based random walking. We then discover that the energy consumption is severely disproportional to the uniform energy deployment for the given network topology, which greatly reduces the lifetime of the sensor networks. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient non-uniform energy deployment strategy to optimize the lifetime and message delivery ratio under the same energy resource and security requirement. We also provide a quantitative security analysis on the proposed routing protocol. For the non-uniform energy deployment, our analysis shows that we can increase the lifetime and the total number of messages that can be delivered by more than four times under the same assumption. We also demonstrate that the proposed CASER protocol can achieve a high message delivery ratio while preventing routing traceback attacks.

Evaluation strength and durability characteristic of concrete use steel slag
In the present experimental study, the various strength properties like the compressive strength of concrete and also durability properties like Acid attack and capillary suction test on both ordinary concrete and steel slag Concrete, best steel slag concrete mix is carried out and compared with an ordinary concrete mix for economic and ecological study. In this study different percentage of steel, slag is used. steel slag as a replacement of fine aggregate in concrete and replaced in the range of 0%, 10%, 20 %, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight of fine aggregate in concrete. Mix design has been carried out for M25 grade using relevant Indian Standard IS- 10262: 2009. It was found that with an increase in the amount of steel slag in concrete up to 30% with increasing compressive strength as well as the split tensile strength of concrete. It was also found that durability like acid resistance and alkalinity test conducted for long durability show that addition of steel slag up to 30% certain limit replacement to fine aggregate with less effect compare to control mix

Air monitoring system
Air is one of the essential pillars that sustain life and existence of organisms itself. The air that we breathe in today is nowhere as clean as it used to be hundreds of years ago. Advancement of civilization and technology has led to the birth of numerous new methods that pollute and contaminate the air. Polluted air such as smog can cause various problems and slowly disrupt the normal working of the human body and begin a slow impending end. Hence, the air we breathe in is important to be analyzed and made sure we do not end up breathing in toxic substances or radioactive particles that affect the human body terribly ending in painful deaths. This project is to establish a multipurpose air monitoring system that can be used at homes, roads, nuclear facilities, and hospitals and it is implemented with the help of MQ135 sensor which is used to monitor the quality of air around us. A wifi module is attached the Arduino Uno through which the output is displayed. The architectural design is extendable to add on other devices. The scope and applications of this system are adaptable as per the needs arise over time. One of the major advantages of this system is, with the implementation of the Internet of Things they can be used on a larger scale.

Effects of sociodemographic and institutional factors on utilization of immunization services in Damaturu LGA Yobe State, Nigeria
Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of the vaccine (WHO 2013). It is a process of inducing or conferring immunity by artificial means. A vaccine is all kinds of immunogenic that are capable of inducing specific protection against communicable disease agents by stimulating the immune system in the body through initiating the immune response, without producing any disease (Dhaar and Robbani, 2006). The main purpose of this research was to find ways of improving immunization utilization in Damaturu. This can be achieved with the following objectives; to determine the level of immunization utilization among children below one year of age in Damaturu, to establish the relationship between institutional factors and immunization utilization in Damaturu, and finally to examine the relationship between socio-demographic and immunization utilization. Cross-sectional descriptive research study was carried out among 272 mothers within the reproductive age in Damaturu using cluster and simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and was analyzed using SPSS to establish the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The results showed that 77.4% of the respondents were utilizing immunization services. Majority of the respondents were between the ages of 18-34, married and had non-formal education. In correlation analysis using chi-square test; age (p=0.001), educational level (p=0.001), attitude (p=<0.001), income(p=<0.001), occupation(p=<0.001), information(p=0.001), equipment(p=<0.001), building (p=<0.001), time spent(p=<0.001), availability of vaccines(p=<0.001) and adequate staffs (p=<0.001) were found to have significant relationship with utilization of immunization services in this study. The result of this study has clearly indicated that the level of immunization utilization is good in Damaturu. All the socio-demographic in this study were found to be significantly related to utilization of immunization services except religion. There is still a need to sustain and strengthen regular health education and mobilization. There is a need to educate health workers to improve the manners in which they handle their client.

The role of training philosophy in the training of quality technical teachers and instructors in Uganda
Competent Technical and Vocational Education Teachers are critical in the training of a skilled workforce that is globally competitive and can effectively contribute to sustainable economic growth and development. For technical teachers to be globally competitive, their training has to be based on a comprehensive training philosophy. This paper explores the current technical teacher training philosophy in Uganda and its implication to the quality of technical teachers. Data was collected from technical teachers, instructors (24) and administrators (12) from 6 Technical teacher training institutions in Uganda. A total of 36 respondents participated in the study and were selected using purposive and convenience sampling. A structured interview guide was used. Findings show technical teacher and instructor training in Uganda still lacks a specific training philosophy. Policy, curricula, and practices do not clearly show the type of trainee needed and how to produce that person. Training activities still remain in their infancy and relatively little has been done to develop a modern, effective and specific training philosophy based on relevant learning theories. The mode of training does not promote specific values and beliefs among trainees. Learning theories that are known to promote relevant values have had little application because are not perceived as very relevant to technical teacher education. Adopting relevant values from cognitivism and behaviorism can ensure the development of the needed values among trainees. We need a training philosophy that will produce active participants who can explore, manipulate, experiment, question, and search for answers by themselves. The MOES and NCDC should develop a pedagogical philosophy for technical teacher and instructor training in Uganda that will create a sphere which stimulates curiosity for exploration and change in actions through an explorative process.
