The tube is subjected to pure buckling. In theanalysis, one end is fixed and the force is applied to theother end and by application of different angles of inclinations ranging from 0˚ to 20˚ with different thicknessof the range of 0.5 to 2.0. Linear buckling code was used forfinding the critical buckling load. This research paper is about the effects of buckling under oblique loading. It is the process in which the tube is subjected to compressive oblique loading and the tube fails by the first increase in crossectional area and then bulging on any of the sides but in the case, oblique loading in hollow tube shell bulges internally or inside the perimeter of the tube. http://ijaems.com/detail/buckling-behavior-of-straight-slot-tubesunder-oblique-loading-a-comparative-study/ Belal Ahamad, Anand Singh, Masihullah, Afaque Umer, Mohd.

These energy sources interact with each other and with the existing grid. Due to the complementary nature of most renewable energy and the mixed dynamics associated with them coupled with the bi directional power flow, transient stability based on single source will not give the overall assessment of the network. This paper presents the impact of hybrid Solar PV-Wind and Small Hydro distributed generation on transient stability of power system so as to take advantages of their complementary roles. To investigate this impact, a detail modeling of grid connected wind / solar PV and small hydropower system with single machine infinite system is carried out. The configuration of the proposed typical grid connected hybrid distributed generation (HDG) consists of hybrid Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), solar PV and small hydropower system. DFIG is integrated through PWM converter into the existing grid while the solar PV consisting of DC sources is integrated through PWM inverter and the hydro power is directly connected through a synchronous generator. The simulation was done in DIgSILENT power factory software http://ijaems.com/detail/transient-stability-assessment-of-hybrid-distributed-generation-and-its-impact-on-critical-clearing-time-and-oscillation-duration-considering-its-complementary-nature/ P. K Olulope http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/12-IJAEMS-JUN-2018-2-TransientStability.pdf Due to the natural intermittent properties of some renewable energies, the grid is subjected to instability, insufficient power delivery and fluctuation. When these renewable energies are combined together to address the challenge of power shortage, increasing energy demand, and voltage drop, the grid is subject to different stabilities issues compare to the single energy source. This paper compares the dynamic behavior of single energy with mixed energy sources. The paper compares the impact of DFIG alone, Solar PV alone and Small Hydro power alone with hybrid type under distributed generation concept on transient stability of power system. To investigate this investigation, a DIgSILENT power factory library models was used as a component model for wind Turbine / Solar PV and small hydropower system. The simulation was carried out on single machine infinite system. http://ijaems.com/detail/comparing-the-dynamic-impact-of-hybrid-distributed-generation-with-single-source-dg/ P.

This study assessed the speaking skills, listening communication skills, writing communication skills and reading communication skills of employees of direct selling companies in Nueva Ecija. This study employed the descriptive research. This study surveyed 60 direct selling employee respondents ranging in age from 18 to 53 years of both sexes (16 male and 44 female). Communication skills are particularly crucial to employees nowadays, especially in direct selling organizations, because they provide the foundation for attracting consumers and so maximizing the company's earnings. This study was conducted at direct selling company in Cabanatuan City. Among the four communication skills, employees of direct selling company showed high ability on writing, followed by listening, reading, and speaking respectively. Their strengths in communication skills are they are able to note down their daily activities, they can avoid unnecessary movements while listening to their customers, they can review customer’s order slip to avoid any problem while transacting, and they maintain eye-to-eye contact to show respect when talking to their customers. The researcher recommends that employees of direct selling company should maintain their strengths in communication skills especially in dealing with their customers and coworkers. Likewise, oral communication skill should be developed further since it was very important to communicate effectively. Finally, there must be a long-term program that develops employees' communication abilities, as well as the other soft and hard talents required of a direct selling employee. http://ijaems.com/detail/assessment-of-direct-selling-employees-communication-skills/ Mary Chris Austria http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/14-IJAEMS-10120224-Assessment.pdf
