distribution is mainly in the coralline patches of the coasts and
the two Oceanic Islands of India. Gross productivity was correlated
with the season and salinity. Seasonal and depth wise pattern and
shade also had an effect on the settlement of barnacles and
mortality of pearl oysters .The treatment mixed algae with raw rice
flour given maturing oysters 62 percentage in lab conditions on day
29 itself . Matured stage III 43 percentage pearl oysters fed with
mixed algae and without feeding changed to stage V. The larval life
cycle was 20 to 25 days in Phase I. In the Phase II 23 to 60 day
old spat, Phase III 60 to 2 years, and the growth rates were
observed as 120 um and 64 um per day. The graft tissue deposited
nacreous coating on the nucleus within 18 days on a 4 mm wax
nucleus .The nacreous pearl sac formed on the shell bead nucleus
which had produced good and lustrous pearls. The inner epithelial

Job Satisfaction is the Psychological disposition of people toward
their work and this involves a collection of numerous attitudes or
feelings. It involves a delineation of those factors that an
employee perceives to either foster a positive attitude towards
work or a negative attitude to work. Research devoted solely to the
study of medical professionals and their job satisfaction is very
scarce and the study of job satisfaction in relation to emotional
competency, personality, organizational health, spousal support,
job characteristics and daily hassles of medical professionals
namely Doctors, Social Workers, Nurses and Physiotherapists are
very scarce. Highest levels of Job Security were experienced by
Doctors and high levels of Self Awareness have been reported
amongst Nurses and Physiotherapists. Social Workers had the highest
levels of Self Management. These professionals have the highest
service orientation and their jobs aim towards helping the
challenged lot of the society. Hence, they tend to be duty
conscious when compared to all other group of professionals.

A systematic approach of seismic microzonation is explained in this
book. A case study conducted is described with results and
discussion. In the present study, seismic hazard analysis of
political capital city of Kerala, south India is carried out using
deterministic approach. Using the vulnerable source ground motion
is simulated by stochastic finite fault simulation method. The
ground motion is simulated at rock level for 100 sites within the
study area. Using the Geographic Information System (GIS) software
the rock level acceleration is mapped for study area. The influence
of local soil condition on ground motion is studied by one-
dimensional ground response analysis. The results obtained from
seismic hazard analysis and ground response analysis at 100
locations of the study area is used to prepare the microzonation
maps of the city in GIS environment.
