This paper aims to describe a passive approach to reduce the energy demand for an existing building and can be made through an improvement of the design of the thermal envelope. The essential article goal is to simulate thermal construction responses in dependence on changing different materials of the construction of the building and also with less energy usage to design a more effective cooling system. In this approach, we simulate the building with different materials: three local materials (compressed earth, lateritic, and raw material) and one modern (Hollow cement) used in Burkina Faso and an energy analysis of the building has been carried out. The numerical optimization of the building design has been performed dynamically for these four materials using the COMSOL multiphysics simulation tool. The model treated is determining the internal temperature and cooling demand concerning a tertiary building in Burkina Faso like a classroom, which is located in a hot and dry climate to improve the indoor quality of the classroom knowing the importance of the thermal comfort in the room for socio-economic performance efficiency and well-being. The analysis result of these four materials shows that energy can be saved if we use local materials instead of the modern one because around 4KW of energy can be saving with local materials. The use of local materials in the building design can be an option for reducing the heat transfer into the room and at the same time the energy consumption.

Aim: To construct an express a mouse-human chimeric antibody against IL-23p19 using a
synthetic peptide as immunogen.
Methods: Immunization of mice with a synthetic peptide derived from the IL-23p19 sequence and generation of hybridoma secreting specific antibodies. The chimeric antibody was created using two eukaryotic plasmid constructions; one of them carrying the light mouse-human chain and the other the heavy mouse-human chain. CHO-K1 cells were cotransfected with both plasmids and stable transfectants were grown in selective culture medium.
Results: A chimeric version of anti-IL-23p19 was successfully constructed and expressed in eukaryotic cells. The expressed chimeric antibody showed specific recognition not only of the peptide used as immunogen but also the subunit p19 and the complete interleukin Il-23.
Conclusion: A Chimeric antibody that was developed against a synthetic peptide, which is able to recognize the parent protein IL23 biologically active, could be developed into a targeted therapy in diseases with chronic inflammation.

Peripheral Intravenous (I.V.) cannulation is an invasive procedure which predisposes the patient to an increased risk of local and systemic infection from micro-organisms introduced either at the time of insertion or when in situ. Peripheral I.V. cannulae related infections are associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and increased costs. Therefore, a study to assess and compare the effectiveness of moist heat versus ice packs application in reducing the signs and symptoms of intravenous cannulation induced thrombophlebitis among patients. A pre experimental research approach using one group pre-test post-test repeated measure design was used to assess and compare the effectiveness of moist heat versus ice packs application in reducing the signs and symptoms of intravenous cannulation induced thrombophlebitis. The study was conducted in medical and surgical wards of the Civil Hospital, Dausa district and a sample of 60 (30 patients in each group) was selected using purposive sampling technique. Treatment with moist heat and ice packs application for 20 minutes every two hourly were given to both the group. Modified visual infusion phlebitis was used to assess the prevalence of sign and symptoms of I.V. cannulation thrombophlebitis and Numerical Rating Scale was used for pain assessment. The obtained data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequencies, percentages and chi square association. The moist heat and ice packs were equally effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of I.V. cannulation induced thrombophlebitis i.e. pain, Erythema, induration and warmth. The moist heat was sustained, but ice packs had immediate effects in reducing the signs and symptoms of I.V. cannulation induced thrombophlebitis. There were no association between the level of pain, Erythema, induration and warmth with selected personal variables.

The study demonstrated the beneficial effect of a multidisciplinary dietary-behavioral-physical intervention on childhood obesity among totally selected 618 school children. Children were classified as Group-I who received both education program and fitness exercise (N=228- Long-term behavioral intervention) and Group-II who were exposed only to education program (N=390 Short-term behavioral intervention). It was found that 28.3 per cent were overweight and 7.9 per cent were obese as per International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) standards at the beginning of study. The initial mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 21.6+3.9 in Group-I and 21.9+3.4 in Group-II. The BMI reduced to 21.4+3.8 in Group-I and 21.8+3.5 in Group-II after six months at the first phase. After one year, the mean BMI of Group-I reduced significantly to 20.8+ 3.5 (P = 0.0001) due to long-term interventions, whereas the mean BMI of Group-II increased after one year. There was significant reduction in Waist Hip Ratio from initial to final among Group-I alone. There was no significant change in the Pulse Rate among both groups at the end of the study. After one year, among Group-I children, 6.6 per cent with high Blood Pressure and 4.4 per cent who had low BP shifted to normal BP showing a significant change whereas there was no significant change in Group-II. Peak expiratory flow rate improved significantly only in Group-I. There was significant influence of fitness exercise intervention on the fitness level test scores among Group-I after one year but there was no significant changes in Group-II. Thus the study revealed that only long-term combined multidisciplinary interventions can have positive influence in combating childhood obesity than short-term interventions.

In response to widespread land degradation remarkable Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions were carried out in Eritrea. Nonetheless, such interventions were not adopted by farmers and the problem still persists, hence this research was carried out from June 2015 to June 2016 to identify the factors affecting the SWC practices in Eritrea. Seventy two farm household heads were selected through quota simple random sampling and data was collected through group discussions, pair-wise problem ranking, participatory transect walks and semi-structured household questionnaire surveys. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression model were used for data analysis. The results indicated that only 23.61% of the respondents practice proper SWC in their farms. Moreover, the logistic regression analysis revealed that off-farm activities, land tenure insecurity, educational level of household head and household head being female had significant negative effects on SWC efforts, whereas slope of the farm showed significant positive effect. Land tenure insecurity, weak extension service and low agricultural production were also ranked by farmers as the first three constraints in SWC practices. As the legacy of the past food for work and cash for work programs, SWC is considered as a paid-work by local communities. Hence, appropriate agricultural extension, land tenure security and introduction of agroforestry farming systems are recommended in the study area.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis that was first described by Kawasaki et.al in 1974. [1]. KD is regarded as an autoimmune disorder rather than an infectious disease. [2]. in the USA, where community acquired methicilline resistant staph (CA-MRSA) is now the most common pathogen (>50%) causing skin and soft tissue infections (particularly abscesses) acquired by outpatients, the number of these infections has nearly doubled in six years, and the main burden of MRSA infections, measured as the incidence per 100 000 inhabitants, now falls on the general population [3]. We present here a case report of a girl came with fever and rash and it had criteria of both diseases KD and CA-MRSA.

A Study on dust in the interstellar wind

Infinite dust is not just something to clear under the floor covering and disregard. Rather, National Science Foundation (NSF)- financed space experts are concentrating on and notwithstanding mapping it to take in more about what it may be escaping us, where it originates from and what it's transforming into. A few scientists are diving where it counts to perceive how clean meets up at the nuclear level, while others are taking a gander at the comprehensive view to see where stars and planets may be framing in dusty stellar nurseries. Late disclosures, for example, that of an extremely youthful cosmic system containing significantly more tidy than anticipated, have demonstrated to us that despite everything we have much to find out about where precisely this dust originates from.

Some complexes of Ni(II) have been prepared with 2-thio-3-acetyl hydantoin (TAHN) and 2-formyl pyridine thiosemicarbazone (FPTS). On the basis of elemental analysis and molar conductivity, the complexes have been formulated as NiL2X2, where L = TAHN or FPTS and X = Cl–, Br–, NCS–, ClO4–. The infrared spectra of complexes and free ligand reveal that the ligand TAHN is co-ordinated through sulphur and acetyl oxygen, while FPTS ligand co-ordinates through heterocyclic nitrogen and sulphur to Ni(II) metal ion. The magnetic moment of these complexes are found to be 3.20-3.25 B.M. The values are greater than value (2.828 B.M) corresponding to two unpaired electrons of a d8-system. The appearance of four absorption bands in their electronic spectra reveal, the tetragonal distortion in the octahedral symmetry of complexes. The zero field splitting parameter(D) and the other crystal field parameters like Dq(xy), Dq(z), Dt have been calculated. The results show that, the tetragonal distortion parameter (Dt) increases in the order of NCS– < Cl– < Br– while the zero field splitting parameter (D) also increases in the same order for both the planer ligands.

This paper presents an evaluation and analysis of the energy performance of a 33.7 MWp solar photovoltaic plant. Monitoring data for 36 months (January 2019-December 2021) have been used to evaluate the performance of the power plant according to the IEC 61724 standard. Normalized parameters that are (i) performance ratio, (ii) reference yield, (iii) array yield, (iv) final yield, (v) array capture losses, (vi) system losses, (vii) system efficiency, and (viii) capacity factor were quantified. During the study period, monthly averages of the normalized yields Yr, Ya, and Yf obtained are respectively 5.81 h/d, 4.59 h/d, and 4.52 h/d with average total losses (TL) estimated at 1.29 h/d and an average performance ratio (PR) of 78%. In light of this study, more than 80% of array capture losses are related to miscellaneous capture losses. Thus, periods of low production due to a drop in performance are compounded by other external climatic factors. The performance ratio becomes increasingly sensitive to the effect of temperature over time. This study could constitute a decision support tool for solar power plant projects underway at the national level and in the Sudan-Sahelian zone.

The aim of this study was to identify the tabanid flies in the Gedaref State, Eastern Sudan and to estimate their seasonal abundance. A number of 374 flies sample were collected by the trapping method in the period October 2014 to October 2015 and were sorted out using certain morphological features that include; size, head, thorax, wings, legs, antennae and abdomen. The observed features of 47 randomly selected samples were recorded and were used to create an identification key that can be used for future characterization and identification of any member of the Tabanidae family. More tabanids flies were collected during the wet (52.29%) than the dry season (47.71%). A number of 5 species of Tabanidae namely; Tabanus autumnalis (Szilády 1914); Tabanus leleani (Austen 1920); Atylotus pulchellus (Loew 1858); Hybomitra mendica (Villeneuve 1912) and Philoliche sp. were reported for the first time in the state of Gedaref. The method described here has advantages over the other methods of identification; that it is simple, costless, and requires no skillful person to perform. The collection procedure is very crucial, for the specimen must be of high-quality. This key will facilitate the recognition of the vector species and its possible role in the transmission of the parasitic and/or viral animals’ diseases in the area.

We propose, in this article, the study of the phenomena of energy storage in a wall in frequency dynamic mode. The optimal heat exchange coefficient and the maximum pulsation were determined from the temperature and flux density curves, respectively. An electric-thermal analogy made it possible to determine the phenomena of energy storage from Bode diagrams of thermal capacity and thermal inductance.

Momordica balsamina is considered as a miracle herb used in African traditional medicine due to its tremendous medicinal and nutritional properties. In this present study we evaluated the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the methanol extract of Momordica balsamina (MEMB). Phytochemical screening followed by thin layer chromatography and spectrophotometrydone to measure the radical scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity of MEMB was determined. Zones of inhibition, minimum inhibitory (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were measured by agar diffusion and liquid broth dilution assays to assess the antimicrobial activities of MEMB. Phytochemicals isolated were flavonoids, tannins, coumarins, terpenoids and phenols. The antioxidant potential and antimicrobial activity of MEMB can be attributed to the total phenolic content and other bioactive phytochemicals.MEMB showed antimicrobicidal activity more against Gram positive than Gram negative organisms. S.agalactiae,S.aureus (ATCC 25923) and L.monocytogenes were more susceptible than Proteus mirabilis, E.coli, K.pneumoniae, P.aeruginosa or S. typhimurium. MEMB also showed antifungal activity against C.albicans species though at a higher concentration[MIC - 0.938mg/ml and MBC-1.875mg/ml]. MEMB can therefore be considered as a potential medication in the management of infectious diseases.

Present study was conducted to investigate the effect of gamma radiations on the quality and shelf life of strawberries. The aim of this study was to evaluate gamma radiation doses in range of 0.3- 1.5 kGy. The irradiated strawberries were stored in ambient (temperature 25 +- 2oC, RH 70 %) and refrigerated (3 +-1oC, RH 80%) conditions. In samples treated with dose 1.2-1.5 kGy no decay was recorded up to 9 days of ambient conditions. Under refrigerated conditions, strawberry samples of unirradiated and irradiated in the range of 0.3-0.9 kGy started decaying after 14 days of storage. No decay was observed in the samples treated with 1.2-1.5 kGy up to 28 days of refrigerated storage. Dose of 1.2 kGy was significantly effective in reducing the weight loss and in maintaining the higher overall acceptability under both the storage conditions compared to the other treatments. This dose also proved effective in retention of significantly higher levels of total sugars compared to the other treatments. Thus, it was established that irradiating strawberries with dose of 1.2 kGy can prove beneficial in facilitating the marketing of the fruit to distant places other than the local markets, thereby benefiting the growers.

The effect of temporal variation on activity of the echolocating bat community was determined in four habitat types in and around Amurum Forest Reserve: (i) gallery forest, (ii) savannah, (iii) rocky outcrop, and (iv) farmland. Using transect-based acoustic surveys in the various habitats, bat activity was estimated based on the recorded number of bat passes per minute of echolocation recordings from the field survey grouped into hours after dusk (19:00-23:00) and hours before dawn (02:00-06:00). Bat activity was significantly higher in hours after sunset than hours before sunrise. Activities did not vary significantly in the farmland between hours after sunset and hours before sunrise. In the gallery forest both times of the night had significant impact on bat activity, while in savannah and rocky outcrop habitats only hours after sunset did have significant effect on bat activity. The farmland showed a different trend by hours before sunset having a significant impact on bat activity. Echolocating bat communities in Amurum Reserve are more active during the hours after sunset than hours before sunrise. We recommend hours after sunset as more suitable period for surveying echolocating bat species through acoustic methods. The managements of reserves may do well in avoiding human activities in the protected areas during hours after sunset for maximum performance of the echolocating bat communities in the reserves.

Nearly one–third of the working populations in most developed countries report high or extreme levels of negative stress. Over the last decade, the escalating costs associated with workplace stress indicate an international trend among industrialized nations. Stress is considered as one of the root causes for many psychological disorders. Anxiety is one of the common disorders that can rise due to negative stress. Consulting health professionals to overcome mental health problem is time-consuming, expensive, and may affect the privacy for many people. To overcome these limitations, we are presenting a model for a self-help mobile app program that can be a powerful, cost–effective, personalized, and convenient tool to overcome mild to moderate stress and anxiety. Mindfulness Meditation is a scientifically proven and standardized technique for many mental health problems. Many professionals have developed Mindfulness-based mobile applications. However, they do not address the core root causes of the mental health problem as the conventional psychological therapy does. Therefore, the proposed self-help mobile app merges mainstream psychological process and mindfulness in reducing minor to moderate stress, and anxiety.

Deep Learning is a growing field of artificial intelligence that has become an operative research topic in a wide range of disciplines. Today we are witnessing the tangible successes of Deep Learning in our daily lives in various applications, including education, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, military, and automotive, etc. Deep Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning that stems from Artificial Neural Networks, where a cascade of layers is employed to progressively extract higher-level features from the raw input and make predictive guesses about new data. This paper will discuss the effect of attribute extraction profoundly inherent in training approaches such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Furthermore, the paper aims to offer a study on Deep Learning techniques and attribute extraction methods that have appeared in the last few years. As the demand increases, considerable research in the attribute extraction assignment has become even more instrumental. Brain tumor characterization and detection will be used as a case study to demonstrate Deep Learning CNN's ability to achieve effective representational learning and tumor characterization.

The present work is a contribution to the energy efficiency in the habitats by the valorization of the local building materials in Burkina Faso. A comparative numerical study on the thermal behavior and energy consumption of some habitats in local and modern building materials is carried out. The simulations were carried out using computer code written in FORTRAN language over a period of one year. Analysis of the results shows that habitats in local construction materials (BTC, BLT, adobe) have a better thermal response compared to modern building materials (hollow cinder block). Generally speaking, the temperature and humidity profiles obtained do not make it possible to ensure the summer comfort in these buildings throughout the year. The evaluation of air-conditioning loads to ensure thermal comfort in these habitats shows that they are higher respectively in the blocks, BLT, BTC, adobe constructions. We therefore consider that local building materials represent a good alternative for the search for energy efficiency in buildings.

Background: A risk of miscarriage increases with increase in parental age. However many studies investigate only the effect of maternal age. This study focused on both the maternal age and paternal age effect on miscarriage.
Method: Couples with the pregnancy loss issue were studied with the age range 19 to 50 years. Maternal age and paternal age were analyzed together. The couples composed of a women and man both aged 20-29 years were used as reference group.
Results: Universally the risk of miscarriage was found to be higher if the women age was 35 years or more and man with age was 40 years or more. But due to small sample size this has not been proved in this study.
Conclusions: The risk of pregnancy loss increases if male and female partners are having advanced age.

N-hexane (D4) < Dichloromethane (D5) < Ethyl acetate (D3) < Butanol (D2) < Aqeous (D6) fractions, all obtained via solvent partitioning in their order of increasing polarity were administered at varied concentrations (50, 75,100, 125, 150 and 200 μg/mL) for 24 h.
Cell viability was detected using the MTT assay. Cells treated with the Butanol and Aqueos fractions respectively showed survival rates as high as 96.11% and 85.75% for MDA-MB 231; 93.59% and 88.28% for MDA-MB 436; 101.62% and 96.76% for HeLa and 89.55% and 81.40% for A549 even at 200μg/mL, the highest considered concentration.
Whereas, at tested concentrations, cells treated with the N-hexane, Dichloromethane and Ethyl acetate fractions showed marked cytotoxic effects with the Inhibitory concentration (IC50) ranging between 100μg/mL and 125μg/mL. We also observed that the ethylacetate fraction displayed the highest cytotoxicity having its approximate IC50 at 100μg/mL, especially for MDA-MB 231 (~51%), HeLa (~54%) and A549 (~43%). The percentage viability for MDA-MB 436 at 100μg/mL is about 64.2%, albeit at 125μg/mL percentage viability dropped to 34.7%
This paper may provide cytological evidence for the inhibitory effect of Momordica charantia on certain cancer cell proliferation.

Refrigeration and air conditioning are often incriminated for their contributions to the greenhouse effect. An alternative solution to curb this problem is the use of refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP). To meet this goal, most hydrocarbons are potential candidates. Thus, the objective of this work is to compare the energy performance of propane (R290) and isobutane (R600a), which are low GWP fluids used as refrigerants in a residential split air conditioner under tropical climatic conditions (typical case of Benin). The investigation aimed to analyse the thermodynamic performance of these two fluids from their refrigeration cycles. The studies were conducted on a residential split air conditioner in Benin converted respectively to R290 and R600a refrigerants. The air conditioner was charged in increments of 50g of refrigerant until reaching the maximum load of 400g. Series of measurements (of temperature, hygrometry, air velocity, and mass of fluid, pressure, current intensity and voltage) were performed to calculate the cooling capacity and the coefficient of performance for each load of refrigerant. The so-named Engineering Equation Solver and MATLAB software were also used to simulate the performance of the studied fluids. The results of the study showed that the best operation conditions are guaranteed for a charge of refrigerant comprises within 150g and 300g for both fluids. The equipment showed better performances with R600a.

Down’s syndrome is a disease entity in which the defect in mental development is associated in a unique way with a large number of physical defects. It is a condition resulting from an extra chromosome 21 and thus the condition is also known as Trisomy 21. It is considered one of the most frequent genetic causes of mental retardation.
The incidence of Down’s syndrome is estimated to be between 1.6 to 2.5 per 1000 live births and increases with increase in maternal age.4,59,10 Mongoloids usually exhibit retarded motor and language skills, with an IQ range from extremely low to 45-55.
Cephalometry has now been firmly established as the most essential procedure for gaining knowledge of the complexities of dentofacial skeletal pattern. By utilizing cephalometric radiography, whereby description, morphologic outline, measurement and change in growth of the skull can be fairly accurately ascertained, it might be possible to observe some of the subtle
The present study is an attempt to determine cephalometrically whether the group of individuals with Down’s syndrome have a distinctive craniofacial phenotype. The growth of the craniofacial area in the presence of the extra chromosome is also examined.

A study of Acid-Base Titrations: Vitals and conclusions
Adele, Annalisa
University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
The test that measures the pH of an answer is known as a titration. Titrations include the expansion of a known measure of a corrosive or base to kill an obscure measure of corrosive or base. From the measure of corrosive expected to kill the base, or base to kill the corrosive, one can figure the pH of the first arrangement. To identify the endpoint of a titration, a pointer is utilized. A marker is a corrosive or base whose conjugate corrosive or conjugate base has an alternate shading from that of the introductory structure. As the pH of the arrangement comes to break even with the pK an of the pointer, a sharp shading change is watched. We will look at how the movement of the marker to its conjugate structure is identified with the Henderson-Hasselbalch comparison. A fascinating property of titration is the titration bend - a plot of arrangement pH versus titrant volume. We can remove valuable data from the titration bend of an answer.

Development of an accurate, simple and cost effective UV spectrophotometric method for estimation of Lovastatin was the aim of present study. This work was based upon an area under curve method i.e. “concentration of the component of interest is directly proportional to the area under two points on the mixture spectra”. The UV spectrum between 238-258 nm was selected and the validation was carried out as per ICH guideline, Q2 (R1). This method obeyed Beer’s Lamberts Law over the concentration range of 5-25μg /ml. The value of correlation coefficient was 0.9988. The method was precise due to the satisfactory value of percent relative standard deviation for the intraday and inter-day precision. Result of the recovery studies (99.8) showed accuracy of method. Hence, developed method can be used for routine estimation of Lovastatin in bulk and dosage form.

A study of the illumination wavelength effect on the series and shunt resistances of a serial vertical junction silicon solar cell in frequency modulation is done. From the continuity equation of the minority carriers’ density, the expressions of the minority carriers’ density, the photocurrent density, and the photovoltage, are determined. The curves of the I-V characteristic permit us to deduce the series and shunt resistances, which depend on the wavelength and frequency modulation. A few values of series and shunt resistances in short and long wavelengths are determined respectively at the open circuit and the short circuit situation.

Asmari formation in Maroon Oilfield is made up of fossil-bearing limestone, dolomitic limestone, argillaceous limestone, sandstone and shale. It is the main reservoir rock for multiple oil wells of Zagros. The formation in Maroon Oilfield dates back to Oligocene(Rupelian – Burdigalian). In the present study, sequence stratigraphy and depositional environment of Asmari Reservoir Formation located in Maroon Oilfield are studied through well-logging data. The lower limit of Asmari Formation in the studied area is Pabede Formation and its upper limit is Gachsaran Formation. The lower limit between Asmari and Pabede formations and upper limit between Asmari and Gachsaran formations are not continuous and signs of discontinuity are observed in them. The field, macroscopic and microscopic studied and determination of percentage and type of allochem and orthochem elements led to identification of 17 carbonate and clastic facies in Asmari Formation. In the section, 6 depositional sequences were identified and labeled as sequence 1-6. The sequence limits are all of SB2 type with exception of Sequence 6 which is SB1.

Electricity is an indispensable part of civilization. It is often taken for granted, and can sometimes take away limbs, and at times, life. When a human being comes in contact with electricity, burns can ensue. These electrical burns are the most devastating of all thermal injuries on a size for size basis5 and involve skin and deeper tissues. 90% of electrical injuries are accidental and nearly two-thirds occur at the work spot. Young, working males are commonly affected with frequent amputation of dominant limbs. This paper analyses the different uses of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap in the reconstruction of electrical burn raw areas and in the salvage of the amputation stumps.

The population of Jamshedpur unban agglomeration is increasing continuously due to industrialization and urbanization. The needs of water can't be fulfill only through supply. In present, 48.11% of water-needs are depends on groundwater. Due to pressure on groundwater is decreasing rapidly. In 1960 water was available on average depth of 32.80 ft, but now their availability is doubtful also at the average depth of 360 ft. High capacity machinery are being used by the rich people for water, while hand-pumps and wells are drying up which is used by the common people. This issue also proved that:- (1) Groundwater budget is not satisfactory; because water recharge and consumption ratio is so differs, and (2) Citizens are spending lots of money and working hard for avail water. Therefore it is observed that, environment and land structure is decreasing through downfall of water table. Now it’s time to take an effective action to saving water, if not we are responsible to a big mistake possibly. The presented research paper is try to show the problems, which are arise to excess use of groundwater from 1960 to 2015.

Waste management and recycling is major problem in our developing countries for several reasons, including population growth. In Burkina Faso, various techniques for treating this garbage exist and among them, we can cite incineration. Incineration is a heat treatment of garbage that reduces the volume of the latter. This work relates to the experimental study of the incineration of paper waste from the incinerator of the University Press of Ouagadougou. The results of this study show that this device is very useful in that it allows the incineration of paper garbage produced by the printing press. It, therefore, has an environmental advantage because its use promotes better management of paper waste.

Soil moisture is the key factor that controls plant biological processes and indicates the environmental status. Recently, the application of remote sensing techniques in soil moisture monitoring has been widely used. In this study soil moisture was monitored during pre-autumn in March, autumn in September and post-autumn in December (2002), in order to identify the signature of different types of moist soils, which can be useful to interpret images. Supervised classification technique was adopted to determine the dominant land use/land cover classes in the area so that they can be vital indicators for the area and its suitability for many life styles. Monitoring moisture statuses can be used for general evaluation of land suitability for agriculture. The assessment of moisture statuses was performed in landsat ETM+ images using band 5 (MIR) as it is known as a sensitive band for moisture status and band 6 (Thermal) as a sensitive band to temperature variation as indicator of moisture status. The study revealed that band 5 and band 6 can be used to monitor soil moisture status during the different seasons in semi-arid areas, however, band 6 is less sensitive to variations in moisture. Therefore, this study recommends the use of Band 5 for monitoring soil moisture in semi-arid regions, and does not recommend the use of band 6 alone but with some supporting bands.

Field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Utukur,Kadapa of Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University to study the performance of rainfed castor hybrid PCH 111 under varied levels of nitrogen with different planting patterns during kharif seasons of 2012 and 2013.The study was laid out in a split plot design with three replications comprising of three planting patterns, viz., 90 cm x 30 cm (P1), 90 cm x 45 cm (P2), 90 cm x 60 cm (P3) and three nitrogen levels viz., 60 kg ha-1 (N1), 90 kg ha-1 (N2) , and 120 kg ha-1 (N3). Number of spikes per plant and number of capsules per spike (58.84, 69.07 in 2012 and 2013 respectively) were more when castor was planted at 90 cm x 45 cm. Hundred seed weight and seed yield were not significantly influenced by planting geometry. Application of 120 kg N ha-1 recorded higher number of spikes per plant and capsules per spike but it was on par with 90 kg N ha-1. Seed yield was higher with application of 120 kg N ha-1 in both the years but it was on par with 90 kg N ha-1.Comparatively higher seed yield was recorded during 2013 due to the receipt of high rainfall.

Sample size estimation is very crucial in any research design. A research design with less sample size may give a biased result or inconclusive result. A research design with very large sample size than required results is waste of resources, time and energy. So, it is very essential to determine ‘ideal’ or ‘optimum’ sample size. This article gives formulae and R code for determining sample size for single mean, two means, single proportion, two proportions, proportion in survey type data, case control studies, cohort studies, correlation coefficient and difference between correlation coefficients.

Phase transfer catalysed oxidation of benzaldehyde and substituted benzaldehydes by permanganate ion have been studied in non polar solvents like ethyl acetate and toluene. The obtained products were charecterised by melting point determination and infra red spectral analysis. Benzoic acid and corresponding substituted benzoic acids were formed as the product with very high yield. The oxidation reactions were carried out by using various quaternary ammonium and phosphonium salts as phase transfer catalyst. The effect of non polar solvents and various phase transfer catalysts on yield of product was also carried out.

This paper deals with the exponential synchronization problem of inertial Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays under periodically intermittent control. In light of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method and inequality techniques, some sufficient conditions are attained to ensure the exponential synchronization of the master-slave system on the basis of p-norm. Meanwhile, the periodically intermittent control schemes are designed. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of theoretical results, some numerical simulations are provided.

The adsorption of Cu2+ions on activated carbon based canarium schweinfurthii impregnated with ZnCl2 was studied. The shells of canarium schweinfurthii were impregnated with ZnCl2 at varying ZnCl2 concentrations, temperature, residence time while keeping the heating rate fixed at 10 °C / min and the ratio of impregnation of 1:1. The activated carbon with the highest surface area in term of iodine number of 860,817 mg/g, the highest methylene blue of 741,6 mg/g and 74,66 % of yield of carbon was obtained at 650 °C, 60 % ZnCl 2 and 30min. From the batch adsorption studies, the equilibrium time was found to be 40 min. Analysis of equilibrium isotherm models revealed a good correlation of the experimental data with the Tempkin (R 2 = 0.909) model. This confirms a high affinity of the activated carbon for Cu 2+ ions on the heterogeneous surface. The value of energy obtained from the Tempkin model was 60,606 J/mol and the presence of pics between 487 cm-1 to 871 cm-1 indicating that physisorption and chemisorption were taking place during this sorption. The pseudo-second order kinetics(R 2 = 0.999) governs the adsorption of Cu2+ions on this activated carbon.

A number of phytochemicals have been established as potent inducers of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition (MMPT) pore, a transient structure formed in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). There is however no information on the effect of Ficus exasperata (F. exasperata) a popular medicinal plant, on this pore, necessitating this investigation. The in vitro effects of varying concentrations (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000µg/ml) of the methanol, n-hexane and ethylacetate fractions of leaf and stem of F. exasperata on MMPT pore opening in experimental rat liver were assessed. Opening of MMPT pore was spectrophotometrically assayed under succinate-energized condition using a modified method of Lapidus and Sokolove, 1993[34]. The results obtained for the Stem Methanol Fraction (SMF) and Leaf Methanol Fraction (LMF) show significant (P< 0.05) increases in the extents to which MMPT pore opening was induced at all concentrations compared with the control group, with the highest induction observed at 400µg/ml and the least seen at 1000µg/ml. The inductive effects of Leaf n-hexane Fraction (LHF) and Stem n-hexane Fraction (SHF) increased as concentration increased such that the highest induction observed in LHF and SHF were 2.80 and 2.28 fold increases respectively. Leaf Ethylacetate Fraction (LEF) and Stem Ethylacetate Fraction (SEF) of F. exasperata also show a concentration-dependent effect such that the inductive effect decreased as concentration increased i.e. at 200µg/ml of LEF and SEF, 3.97 and 4.25-fold increases were achieved respectively while the least folds in induction were observed at 1000µg/ml for both at 2.0-fold and 1.97-fold respectively. Taken together, all tested fractions of F. exasperata have significant P < 0.05 inductive effect on the MMPT pore opening at all tested concentrations, the most potent fraction being the SEF. We thus conclude that F. exasperata is an effective inducer of the MMPT pore, albeit, different fractions derived from different parts vary in their potency. Also, F. exasperata could find a great use in the treatment of ailments dependent on the induction of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore opening.

The Mysuru is a unique city and was the capital city of former princely state of Karnataka, and its groundwater resources are developed for water supply and irrigation purposes. In order to evaluate the quality of groundwater in study area, 07 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for various Secondary parameters. Including Physical and chemical parameters of groundwater such as Sodium Absorption Ratio, Residual Sodium Carbonate, Permeability Index, Corrosivity Ratio, Indices of Base exchange, CaCO3 Saturation Indices, Gibb’s plot of determining the Mechanisms controlling ground water Chemistry, Handa’s Classifications, USSL Clasifications , CaCO3 Saturation Indices and Stuyzfzand’s were determined and the indices were calculated. Based on the analytical results, groundwater in the area is generally fresh and hard to very hard. The abundance of the major ions is as follows: HCO3 > SO4 > Cl and Ca > Mg > Na > K. The dominant hydrochemical facieses of groundwater is Ca-HCO3 and Ca-Mg-HCO3 type. The results of calculation saturation index by basic computer program HYCY shows that the nearly all of the water samples were saturated to under saturated with respect to carbonate minerals and under saturated with respect to sulfate minerals. Assessment of water samples from various methods indicated that groundwater in study area is chemically not suitable for drinking and agricultural uses.

Besides pesticides contamination from agricultural field, the agricultural industries are also contributing by relatively high quantities of toxic pesticides into the environment. Considering the high pollution potential of the Pesticide formulation industry which is one of the main point sources of water pollution, toxicity study was conducted. In this study, the toxicity of the wastewater before and after preliminary treatment is checked using fish bioassay on Lebistus reticulate, with the analysis of physicochemical parameters and OCPs concentration. The results indicated exceeding values of the physicochemical parameters than the guideline values (CPCB). Wastewater exerted more toxicity due to the presence of high OCPs i.e. 1.719 mg/l; equally sulphide concentration was 17.60 mg/l which is also higher compared to stipulated standard of 2.0 mg/l, which causes odor to the surrounding environment. It also contained oil/grease up to 80 mg/l. Treated wastewater was also detected with the concentration (0.587 mg/l) of OCPs higher than the standard values prescribed by CPCB for the pesticide industry effluent discharge. The study inferred that raw wastewater was very toxic to the fish Lebistus reticulate whereas, preliminary treatment to the effluent had reduced toxicity to certain extent, but it doesn’t solve a purpose and hence needs correction in the pretreatment method.

Future electricity production systems will be able to harness the power of supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) as it moves through thermal cycles. It serves the same goal as sources of energy such as fossil fuels, nuclear power, solar power, and the recovery of waste heat (or surplus heat from industrial processes). When the heat source temperature is between 350°C and 800°C, CO2 as a working fluid exhibits excellent thermal efficiency. Its novel technological benefits over conventional steam Rankine cycles, such as the use of small turbo gear and compact heat exchangers, have captured the attention of scientists. It has excellent operational flexibility and may induce significantly cheaper energy costs. Aligned with these goals, this paper presents a panoramic work, exploring the current state of the art of S-CO2 power generation, with a particular emphasis on the technical and operational perplexities. After providing a comprehensive overview of the thermodynamic principles that underpin this study, the foundation is established for an engaging discourse on the continuous research and development of supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) cycles in power generation. Upon delving into the thermodynamic facets of CO2 that propel this investigation, the spotlight is cast upon dissecting the existing state of research and development of S-CO2 cycles in power generation before transitioning into encapsulating the principal domains of application and noteworthy thermodynamic modelling inquiries of S-CO2 cycles. The present advancements and hurdles within the primary application areas are succinctly summarized, while future research trends are identified.

Pulp and paper industry is one of the major contributors to environmental pollution due to its toxic and carcinogenic discharges during its various processes e.g., chlorinated bleaching of the pulp. Use of alternative bleaching chemicals e.g., enzyme and/or elemental chlorine free (ECF) or total chlorine free (TCF) agents are the best option to reduce the load of carcinogenic chlorinated compounds on our environment. Present study was carried out to highlight the application of enzyme during bleaching of wheat straw anthraquinon (AQ)-soda pulp to considerably reduce the toxic load on the environment. Wheat straw AQ-soda pulp was treated with acid (A) to reduce its metal contents followed by oxygen (O) delignification. Delignified pulp was then subjected to enzymatic (X) treatment with xylanase prior to bleaching to increase the effectiveness of successive bleaching with hydrogen peroxide (P). Handsheets were prepared from the treated pulp after each experimental trial to study its various optical, physical and chemical properties. Brightness of bleached pulp was improved up to ISO 73% with AOXP1P2 bleaching sequence. The improved brightness up to ISO 76% was achieved when alkali extraction stage was incorporated before bleaching with hydrogen peroxide (AOXEP1P2). TDS, COD and BOD5 of effluent samples during different experimental stages was monitored and compared with NEQS. It was evident from the results that enzymatic treatment not only helped to reduce the effluent load but also reduced the consumption of bleaching chemicals to achieve good brightness values.

The Thermally Stimulated Polarization Current (TSPC) is used to study the dielectric behavior of Vectra A, liquid crystal copolyester. The TSPC spectra of samples of Vectra A for various polarizing fields (3.8 kV/cm- 19.2 kV/cm) have been investigated. A dipolar relaxation is observed in the low temperature region ~ 30 oC due to orientation of naphthalene groups present in Vectra A which is termed as peak-P1. In the higher temperature region above 110 oC, the dipolar and space charge peaks are in composite form. TSPC cycle is performed to distinguish the dipolar and space charge peaks. Also, the TSPC spectra of annealed and doped samples of Vectra A are studied. The results obtained from TSPC spectra are compared with TSDC spectra of samples of Vectra A.

Viral hepatitis, especially those caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV), represents a worldwide significant cause of morbidity and mortality affecting about 2 billion people worldwide. Prevention against hepatitis B (HB) is proportional to the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the people. This study seeks to assess the KAP towards HB in two rural areas of the Anglophone regions in Cameroon from the May 2014 of January 2015 using pre-designed and pre-tested, semi- structured questionnaire. Any correct or positive answers was given one point and zero for a no or negative answer. The response rate was 612 (87.4%). This study revealed that mean (SD) KAP was 14.4(3.7%), 4.7(1.1%) and 3.8(1.2%) respectively. Thus majority of the respondents had low knowledge 354(57.9%), high positive attitude 334(54.6%) and low poor practice 149(24.3%) regarding HB. Excellent knowledge was expressed only by 38(6.2%) respondents. A univariate analysis of Knowledge, showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in place, sex, age group, occupation, level of education and monthly income while for attitude a significant difference (p<0.05) was seen only in place and for practices a significant difference (p<0.05) was seen in the place, marital status, occupation, level of education and monthly income. A linear correlation revealed a non significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (r=-0.003, p = 0.12), a significantly positive correlation between knowledge and practice (r =0.28, p = 0.00) and a significantly positive correlation in attitude and Practice (r =0.27, p = 0.00).

Jatropha curcas seed oil can be used for numerous purposes including fuel, soap and cosmetics. Better quality oil is obtained by cold pressing, the effectiveness of which is unfortunately limited by a low extraction rate. The objective of this study was to optimize cold hydraulic extraction parameters of Jatropha curcas seed oil by increasing the oil recovery and characterising the extracted oil. The key extraction parameters (dwell time, pressure, compression speed, and press cage charge) were determined using a laboratory hydraulic press. The results show that the unhulled and dehulled seeds contained 5.1 and 2.9% moisture, as well as 33.6 and 51.7% fat, respectively. Under the optimal operating conditions and at ambient temperature (25 °C), the oil recovery from whole (crushed) material was 38.2 (42.5)% unhulled seeds and 71.3 (69.5)% dehulled seeds. The physicochemical characteristics of cold-extracted Jatropha oil were 10ppm phosphorus, 1.9 ppm iron, 0.0 ppm copper, 0.15% water-volatile matter, 0.918 (15 °C) density, and 37.72 cSt (37.8 °C) kinematic viscosity, respectively. In conclusion, the optimized cold hydraulic extraction of jatropha seed oil leads to high oil recovery and good oil quality suitable for industrial applications.

The present review gives a brief application of environmentally – safe corrosion inhibitors for various metals like aluminum, copper, mild steel, and zinc. Due to the enormous increase of industrial activities, a large amount of mineral acids are consumed. Therefore more number of metals gets corroded. These problems can be solved by using corrosion deterence. Although many chemical deterence are available most of them are highly virulent. So there is a need to explore a new class of corrosion inhibitors with good inhibition efficiency and that are environmentally - safe. Consequently, it can be achieved by using plant materials as corrosion inhibitors which are non-toxic, easily available and biodegradable.

One hundred contract (Buy Back) broiler producers in Kurunegala, Puttalam, Kalutara districts were randomly selected.The cost and return analysis of different sizes of out grower broiler producers were analyzed using the profit function approach Quantitative variables such as feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality (% per flock), input quantity and average body weight (kg/bird), involvement in broiler farming (hours/month) were used in the analysis.
The investigated farmers were receiving a profit of 73.73 ± 3.54 Rs./bird. The other parameters were; average body weight of 1.9982 ± 0.035 kg/bird, flock mortality of 3.564 ± 0.324 %, and the FCR of 1.8038 ± 0.017. Regression analysis revealed that most important factors significantly (p-0.05) affecting profit in this study were the feed conversion ratio, input quantity, body weight and flock mortality. The contracting company provided inputs such as day old chicks (DOC), Transport, and incentives such as transport incentives, bird return incentives to improve the productivity, extension services to improve quality of production. FCR and Body weight are depending on the quality of feed and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the input quantity to get optimum profits and to reduce the operational costs.

Fingerlings of freshwater fish Gonoproktopterus kolus (Sykes) were exposed to Ferric Chloride (FeCl3) in acute toxicity (96 hr.) experiment. The LC0 and LC50concentrations were 1.370 ppm and 1.928 ppm respectively. After acute exposure, various tissues viz. gill, liver, muscle, kidney and intestine were obtained separately from control, LC0 and LC50 groups. These tissues were subjected for estimations of glycogen, protein and lipid using standard methods. As compared to control group, the glycogen content in all the tissues decreased considerably. The total protein content decreased in all tissues except, kidney in LC0 group. Total lipid content decreased in all tissues after acute exposure, as compared to control group. It was observed that, the fish Gonoproktopterus kolus exposed to Ferric Chloride in acute toxicity experiment caused depletion in biochemical composition in various tissues.

In order to make up its energy deficit and reduce its energy imports from neighbouring countries, Benin is opting for the construction of photovoltaic solar micro-power plants in the sunniest regions and to consider injecting it into the existing electricity grid if this locally produced energy is not entirely consumed. With this in mind, a decentralised electricity production project has been initiated. In particular, the project, which is the subject of this presentation, aims to simulate and analyse the impacts of injecting 25 MW of photovoltaic energy production into the existing national electricity grid of the Société Béninoise d'Energie Electrique (SBEE). For this purpose, the dimensioning of the 25MW power plant has been carried out and injected at a specific point of the 20kVA line of the existing electricity network in the NEPLAN software environment, while respecting the requirements for injecting photovoltaic energy into an existing electricity network. Only extreme operating configurations have been studied: the synchronous hollow and synchronous point configuration. Simulation results showed overloads on certain transformer stations in the network, which indicates that adjustments must be made before the actual injection of the electricity produced. Besides, the power grid did not experience any disturbance in the voltage plan and power flows. Finally, the simulations carried out led to the conclusion that the integration of solar PV plants will make it possible to limit the import of energy from Ghana and Nigeria.

Response surface methodology was used to optimize the fermentation conditions for the total phenolics content and antioxidant activity of black tea (Camellia sinensis). Fresh tea leaves were fermented following a rotatable central composite design of eleven experiments replicated thrice. The minimum and maximum fermentation time and temperature were respectively of 1 - 3 h and 30 - 40 °C. The results demonstrated that fermentation time and temperature significantly affect the total phenolics content and antioxidant activity of black tea. The optimum fermentation conditions for the present study were at 36 °C for 35 min which the values for total phenolics content and total antioxidant activity were 38.99 g GAE/100 g dw and 19.74 mg VitC Eq/100 g dw, respectively. Antioxidant activity was strongly correlated with total phenolics content of black tea.

Cellular composition of the Corpus luteum of Indian fruit bat, Rousettus leschenaulti (Desmarest) during early embryonic development
V.H, Badiye
Institute of Science, Nagpur
The fine structure of luteal cell of the corpus luteum of Indian fruit bat, Rousettus leschenaulti was studied at three stages unilaminar blastocyst stage, Implanted bilaminar blastocyst stage and limb bud stage of early pregnancy. At unilaminar blastocyst stage luteal cells had small nuclei euchromatin. Mitochondria were small, round shaped with tubular cristae. Numerous less osmiophilic lipid droplets were observed in cytoplasmic field of the luteal cells. After implantation at implanted bilaminar blastocyst stage nuclear heterochromatin were reduced and nucleoli were larger and complex. Mitochondria were enlarged and often bizarre shaped with tubular cristae. Golgi complex and agranular endoplasmic reticulum were more conspicuous. Lipid droplets were less osmiophilic. At the stage of limb bud formation the luteal cells suggests different morphological picture, the nuclear size is reduced with clumps of heterochromatin. The agranular endoplasmic reticulum assumes the form of bundles of parallel tubules dispersed in several planes. Mitochondrial size was reduced then the previous stage and they posses vesicular cristae. These observations suggest that the steroidogenic activity of the luteal cells is highest during implantation and comparatively regresses during limb bud formation. It is suggested that the luteal cells is an important ovarian source of pregnancy hormones.

Flowering calendar of a particular area will give the information of the period and duration of flowering among plants. The purpose of the study is to investigate the presence of the habitat of some dominant macrophytes in Keibul Lamjao National Park (a Ramsar site) which have ethnobotanical relationships with human beings (the lake dwellers in particular and tourist in general) and wild animals. Flowering calendar of six study sites viz., Keibul, Nongmaikhong, Kumbi, Khordak, Sargam and Toyaching were studied and monthly flowering calendars were taken for two year period (2010 to 2011). Flowering calendars of the macrophytes were surveyed by following standard methodologies and comparison of the stages of flowering period of 6 study sites was incorporated. Maximum number of flowering plants (44) was recorded in Sargam, Khordak (32), Kumbi (30), Nongmaikhong (29) during the period September to November. Whereas, Toyaching reached 35, Keibul recorded lowest plant numbers (14) during the period June to August. Four plant species viz., Ageratum conyzoides, Alternanthera philoxeroides, Leersia hexandra and Hedychium coronarium were found throughout the year in all the 6 sites. From the findings, it can be concluded that flowering calendar will give the information of plants which are used as fodder for the wild animals like Sangai (Rucervus eldii eldii McClelland), an endangered deer species in this globe and ethnobotanically important plants of the lake dwellers as food, medicinal plants and allergens, thereby maintaining health status of man and animals. Conservation is required by controlling the human anthropogenic harassments, thereby maintaining the luxuriant growth of the seasonal and perennial, macrophytes observed during the study of flowering calendar, so as to maintain and conserve the natural flora and fauna of the park.

Over the past few decades, fast-growth has occurred in the area of medical image acquisition devices, and physicians now rely on the utilization of medical images for the diagnosis, treatment plans, and surgical guidance. Researchers have classified medical images according to two structures: anatomical and functional structures. Due to this classification, the data obtained from two or more images of the same object frequently provide complementary and more abundant information through a process known as multimodal medical model registration. Image registration is spatially mapping the coordinate system of the two images obtained from a different viewpoint and utilizing various sensors. Several automatic multimodal medical image registration algorithms have been introduced based on types of medical images and their applications to increase the reliability, robustness, and accuracy. Due to the diversity in imaging and the different demands for applications, there is no single registration algorithm that can do that. This paper introduces a novel method for developing a multimodal medical image registration system that can select the most accepted registration algorithm from a group of registration algorithms for a variety of input datasets. The method described here is based on a machine learning technique that selects the most promising candidate. Several experiments have been conducted, and the results reveal that the novel approach leads to considerably faster reliability, accuracy, and more robustness registration algorithm selection.

Array
Blast injuries result from explosions that have the capability to cause multisystem, life-threatening injuries in single or multiple victims simultaneously. The injury patterns following such events are a product of the composition and amount of the materials involved, the surrounding environment, delivery method (if a bomb), the distance between the victim and the blast, and any intervening protective barriers or environmental hazards. These types of events present complex triage, diagnostic, and management challenges for the health care provider.

Methods for elucidating microbial biomass
Saxena, Nidhi
Barkatullah University, Bhopal (M.P.)
Array
The microbial biomass of soil is defined as the part of the organic matter in the soil that constitutes living organisms smaller than the 5-10 mm3. It is generally expressed in the milligrams of carbon per kilogram of soil or micrograms of carbons per gram of dry weight of soil. Typical biomass carbon ranges from 1 to 5% of soil organic matter. Biomass literally means “mass of living material” and can be expressed in units of weight (grams) or units of energy (calories or joules). Biomass is an important ecological parameter as it represents the quantity of energy being stored in a particular segment of biological community.
Measurement of biomass is used to determine standing crop of a population and transfer of energy between trophic levels within an ecosystem. A measure of the total microbial biomass in soil is often required when studying productivity or fertility of soils. Sometimes the biomass of specific parts of the microbiota is required-for example fungal biomass versus bacterial biomass.

Inquire about emphatically proposes that rest, which constitutes around 33% of our lives, is essential for learning and shaping long haul recollections. Yet, precisely how such memory is framed is not surely knew and stays, regardless of extensive exploration, a focal inquiry of request in neuroscience. Neuroscientists at the University of California, Riverside report this week in the Journal of Neuroscience that they now may have a response to this inquiry. Their study accommodates the first run through a robotic clarification for how profound rest (likewise called moderate wave rest) might be advancing the solidification of late recollections.

This study presents new spectrophotometric method for the determination of Irbesartan. So far, no Area under Curve Spectrophotometric method has been reported for the estimation of Irbesartan from pharmaceutical dosage form. This paper deals with validation and development of a method by Area Under Curve for the assay of Irbesartan from pharmaceutical dosage forms. The principle for AUC curve method is “the area under two points on the mixture spectra is directly proportional to the concentration of the component of interest”. The area selected between 203 to 211 nm for determination of Irbesartan. The drug follows Beer-Lambert’s law over the concentration range of 5-25 μg/ml for Irbesartan. In accuracy study the % recovery of Irbesartan in bulk drug samples was ranged 96.45-93.84%, which indicates that the method was accurate. Validation of the proposed method was carried out for its accuracy, precision, and specificity according to ICH guidelines. The proposed methods can be successfully applied in routine work for the determination of Tigecycline in its pharmaceutical dosage form.

Ujjain Engineering College, Ujjain
Array
This Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland (VFCW) system was evaluated for removal efficiency of Ammonium Nitrogen and Nitrate Nitrogen from Gomutra collected from cowsheds of Ujjain. The VFCW of mesocosm scale had a rectangular size and covered an effective area of 1.88 m2 with a water retention capacity of 0.206 m3. Two such units were combined together in series for better treatment performance. The VFCW was fabricated in a Reinforced Concrete Cement (RCC) tank below the ground level. The filter media was composed of coarse river sand supported below by coarse Gravel. Three sets were fabricated out of which –
• The first set was initially planted with locally available grass Phragmites;
• Second set was planted with Calamus at the rate of 10-12 plants per sq. m.
• Third set no plantation was there and considered as control.
In all the three sets, inlet and outlet arrangements were placed at top and bottom of the RCC tank respectively. The diluted Gomutra (1:4) was kept in dosing tank and allowed to pass through the VFCW; treated effluent was collected from each outlet. Phragmites bed NH4 –N and NO3 -N gets reduced by 71.6% and 51.96% respectively from inlet to outlet. Calamus bed causes a maximum reduction of 75.58% of NH4 –N from inlet to outlet and for NO3 –N it shows a reduction of 80.35% from inlet to outlet. The control reduces NH4 –N by 13.94% and NO3 –N by 14.28% from inlet to outlet.
The VFCW results established that
• This system is highly efficient for Gomutra treatment.
• Calamus bed system is most efficient in treatment of Gomutra in comparison to all three systems.

The role of climate cycles in sea level fluctuations
Bisogno, Nicholas
Università Degli Studi di Bergamo, Bergamo BG
The tropical Pacific Ocean isn't level like a lake. Rather, it frequently has a high side and a low side. Regular cycles, for example, El Niño and La Niña occasions cause this ocean level teeter-totter to tip forward and backward, with the sea close Asia toward one side and the sea close to the Americas on the other. Be that as it may, in the course of the most recent 30 years, the teeter-totter's wobbles have been more compelling, bringing on varieties in ocean levels up to three times higher than those saw in the past 30 years.

A Comparative Electrochemical Behaviour Study of p-nitrophenol Using GC and Pt Electrode
Gupta, Sangita
Department of Chemistry, GTC Jaipur, Rajasthan, Rajasthan
Array
The work reports a comparative electrochemical behavior study of p-nitrophenol using GC and Pt electrode. For this purpose, Cyclic Voltammetry was employed, where the redox mechanisms could be compared for reduction processes of p-nitrophenol by analysis of the voltammetric responses. Voltammetric curves of p-nitrophenol in aqueous-methanol medium on different pH using B.R. buffer for various concentrations (0.05mM, 0.1 mM, 0.15mM, 0.2mM) and scan rates at GC and Pt electrode was obtained. The very complicated reduction of p-nitrophenol revealed three reduction peaks out of which two peaks are irreversible and one peak is reversible.
Equation 1
HOC6H4NO2 + e- HOC6H4NO2∙-
Equation 2
HOC6H4NO2∙- + HOC6H4NO2 HOC6H4NO2H. + -OC6H4NO2
Equation 3
HOC6H4NO2H. + HOC6H4NO2∙- HOC6H4NO2H- + HOC6H4NO2
Equation4
HOC6H4NO2H- + HOC6H4NO2 HOC6H4NO + -OC6H4NO2 +H2O
The result obtained from GC electrode proved to be better than Pt electrode. Hence the GC electrode can be considered a suitable tool for determination of redox mechanism of p-nitrophenol.

Heavy metals are among the most important sorts of pollutant in the environment. Numerous methods already used to clean up the environment from these kinds of contaminants, but most of them are costly and difficult to get optimum results. Factors influencing heavy metal uptake by Crops were studied by pot and field experiments in Mysuru City, India. Results concern with soils is contaminated with Urban Wastewater. In this paper demonstrated effects on the heavy metal content of eight cultivated crop species, in three wastewater contaminated sites of Mysuru City. Interaction between ecological factors and crop characters was demonstrated, as well as results of pot and field studies were compared. Tested plant species were grouped on the basis of their accumulation capability and susceptibility of heavy metals.

The cook stove is usually constructed from black-painted sheet metal, to better absorb energy. To enhance thermal performance, a theoretical cylindrical design is proposed in this article. This article aims to study this design and compare its performance with the conical design. Theoretical modeling of the cook stove was carried out considering heat transfer by radiation, convection, and conduction based on a steady-state thermal network, and solved using the Matlab R2021b® platform under license (License No. 595687). The result of the theoretical analysis predicts a theoretical efficiency of 65%, a pot air temperature Tf=220°C and a flame temperature Ta=900°C. Similarly, a validation with Sagouong's model on combustion chamber temperature and Kaushik's model on thermal efficiency. A maximum threshold (RMSE) of 4% is observed between the two studies. The Tc temperature stagnates rapidly within 5 minutes at 600°C and the comparison showed that the firing temperatures of the cylindrical shape are higher than those of the conical-shaped cook stove. Consequently, the performance of the cylindrical-shaped cooking stove can be improved by further experimentation and flue gas analysis.

The present study was performed to assess the effect of foliar application of water soluble fertilizers on growth and seed yield of cabbage cv. Golden Acre. Four WSF (Multi-K, NP2O5K2O, NP2O5K2O and NP2O5K2O) were tested against control (water). Plant height, no. of branches, pods as well as seed yield was found to increase with the applications of WSFs. Data also revealed that maximum plant height (162.13cm), no. of branches (27.21/plant), no. of pods (1460.49/plant) and seed yield (10.37q/h) were recorded with the foliar application of NP2O5K2O (15-15-30) against the minimum plant height (146.03cm), no. of branches (21.73/plant), no. of pods (915.46/plant) and seed yield (5.50q/h) in untreated plots. The same treatment i.e. NP2O5K2O (15-15-30) also recorded highest net return (Rs. 3.1lakh/h) as well as cost benefit ratio (1:4.78), and therefore may be recommended for seed production of cabbage.

The problem of salinization of water resources associated with the drying of the Aral sea is one of the urgent problems of Kazakhstan. Annual salt storms cover hundreds of kilometers around the sea with a salt layer. Salinization of water resources leads to changes in the population structure of aquatic organisms. On the other hand, the influence of brine on aquatic organisms is not well understood. As a result of the work it was found that the introduction of the surface brine of lake Zhaksy-Klych, located near the Aral sea, into the aquatic environment in a ratio of 1:1 causes the death of all protozoal organisms, and in the cells of filamentous algae there was a convex plasmolysis. The most resistant diatoms in which the introduction of brine into the water causes a gradual plasmolysis of convex and convulsive form.

The total magnetic intensity data has been collected in and around Ramadugu Village in Eastern DharwarCraton to understand the magnetic evidence over the known Lamproites zones in conjunction with geology and geomorphology. Based on the magnetic, geological and geomorphological signatures observed from the known lamproites potential zones, new probable locations are identified in the study area. Nine magnetic lows and fourteen magnetic highs are traced, lows are representing the presence of Lamproites within the granite gneiss, and highs are observed over the presence of banded iron formations. The generated analytical (Horizontal, Vertical, Tilt, Analytical signal) maps from the total magnetic anomaly show the trends of the magnetic lineaments and trending in NW-SE, NE-SW &E-W direction. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the magnetic data clearly identified four tectonic disturbed (A.B,C,D) zones, various faults and other lineaments/dykes and the intersection of lineaments, geological, morpho structural, tectonic aspects of reported occurrence of lamproites near Ramadugu and Vattikodu areas were found to be localized at surrounding of the domal peripherals. Using this criterion eight potential lamproites zones were delineated(2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11 and 13) in the study region. The long normalized radial averaged power spectrum of the study area indicated that the depth to the granite gneiss basement is around 2 Km.The dyke configurations in the region was obtained via the inversion of magnetic profiles.

From N,N'-bis(phenylmethylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, substitution of a nitro group on each aromatic ring and its systematic displacement in the positions ortho, meta and para positions allowed to synthesize a homogeneous series of positional isomers. These four symmetric α-diimine Schiff bases derived from cis and trans racemic mixture of cyclohexanediamine have been characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR and MS). Antimicrobial screening showed that, unlike N, N'-bis (phenylmethylene) cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, the bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus CIP is sensitive to the other three compounds with MIC values of 93.75μg/ml, 187.5μg/ml and 375μg/ml. The Candida albicans fungal strain shows resistance to all synthesized compounds, but Candida glabrata is sensitive to the non-substituted N, N'-bis(phenylmethylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and ortho substituted compound with a MIC value of 1500μg/ml.

In this work, the following materials have been chosen as anti-reflection layer, namely hafnium (HfO2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), silicon oxynitrides (SiOxNy), silicon oxides (SiOx), silicon nitride (Si3N4) and hydrogenated silicon nitride (SiNx:H). The calculations were made on the basis of values of layer thicknesses and refractive indices that allow the phase and amplitude conditions to be respected and amplitude conditions. Numerical simulations have shown that low reflectivities at the surface of the surface of the plane cell coated with a simple layer, can be obtained. For example, for simple coatings materials based on Si3N4 and HfO2, we obtain a value of reflectivity around 3 and 2 % respectively. The structures with multilayer coatings such as MgF2/SiNx:H/Si, give a reflectivity of around 1 %. Thus, the refraction index of the coating is an important parameter that plays a major parameter that plays a major role in the optical properties of materials. The closer the refractive index is close to the index of the substrate or the layer above the substrate, the higher the reflectivity.

Palm wine is the commonest name of the beverage obtained from fermented palm sap, the exudate from tapped unopened spathe of oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). This refreshing wine of West and Central Africa is very sweet but within 24 hours the concentration of sucrose falls to less than 50% the initial amounts due to a rapid sugar fermentation by microorganisms. In Cameroon, Central Africa, traditional attempts to preserve palm wine imply the introduction of natural preservatives mostly barks and leaves from edible or medicinal plants. The leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, Pimenta racemosa, Vernonia amygdalina, Ocimum basilicum and the barks and the leaves of Garcinia lucida and of Adansonia digitata commonly used in palm wine preservation were analyzed for their chemical composition. The results showed that lipid, protein, ash, crude fiber, total sugars and vitamin C contents were respectively from 15.70 ± 1.13 to 23.57 ± 1.80%, from 8.38 ± 0.38 to 43.81 ± 3.69%, from 1.14 ± 0.17 to 10.06 ± 0.39%, from 11.74 ± 1.11 to 48.42 ± 0.55%, and from 1.49 ± 0.02 to 22.56 ± 0.59% and from 55.76 ± 3.15 to 175.71 ± 2.09 μg /100 g dw. The phyto-chemicals levels were respectively from 1.37 ± 0.22 to 3.61 ± 0.6 % for total alkaloids, 2.66 ± 0.12 to 4.80 ± 0.24 % for total phenolics and 0.57 ± 0.09 to 1.88 ± 0.09 mg /100 g dw for total saponins. Concerning anti-nutrients, the oxalates levels were higher than the threshold value (250 mg/100 g) reported as safety limit. Despise the proven antimicrobial benefits of alkaloids, saponins and phenolics found in those leaves and barks, caution shall be paid during their use due to their high oxalates levels.

Fireworks related burns are one of the causes of recurring incidences of burn injuries every year during festivals. Sporadic events are reported in family and communal celebrations / temple festivals and in funerals. These burns are different from other burns as the burn percentage is not the major burden, but the increasing number of patients with cracker burn injuries with loss of hand function, loss of vision and at times blast injury of the face with major tissue loss and multiple fractures (shattered tissues), which are challenging for the reconstructive surgeon, are major concern. The vulnerable groups are innocent children who sustain injuries due to ignorance, negligence and lack of supervision. These fire cracker burn wounds are to be classified separately as the wounds are more like traumatic wounds than burn wounds. They are also associated with more morbidity than mortality.(1,2,3)
The management of these wound is multidisciplinary, with involvement of various specialists like paediatricians, ophthalmologists, psychiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons and specialists in rehabilitative medicine along with plastic and reconstructive surgeons.Reconstruction of blast hand and face needs multiple surgeries and prolonged period of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The effective and appropriate decision made in the acute phase is important to reduce their morbidity.(4)

The rhizosphere region is rich with the plenty of microorganisms. It may be either pathogenic or non-pathogenic to the plants and animals. Fungi were the ubiquitous organisms present in all types of habitats (Ainsworth et al., 1995).They play a vital role in conversion of waste and degradation (Diana 1994).. There were the previous researchers so far explained more than million fungal species on earth (Barnett et al., 1972). The physcio-chemical parameter was also analyzed. The soil samples were serially diluted and inocualted on the SDA plates. The different species belongs to various groups of fungi such as Ascomycotina, Zygomycotina and Deuteromycotina were identified with the help of relevant literatures. A total of -- taxa belonging to -- genera were isolated, these include one species of Acomycetes, one species of Coelomycetes five species of Zygomycetes and remaining species were Deuteromycetes. Penicillium and species of Aspergillus were also recorded from samples. Basidiomycetes were also identified. The macro nutrients such as N, P and K content were not rich in the samples. There is no proper record so far regarding the fungal in these soil areas along with the soil nutrients. The present study is mainly focused on the mycoflora present in the rhizosphere regions of three different soil of puducherry region based on the macro and micronutrients present in the soil.

The military actions in Iraq most challenge influenced to each life types especially on sustainable development which representing by environment such as (biosphere ;soil, water resources & air) ,social and economic, spawned the negatively traces for all sectors of sustainable development , in particular including: murder ,destruction of infrastructure, agricultural production, biodiversity, industrial production, education, health, and others. Where occurred three wars; 1980, 1991 and 2003. Until now Iraq suffers from their impacts, where protection of sustainable development could be strategic necessity today's. Human who lives above the Earth is main reason in impact on the environment whether by the reason war or Irrationally use of natural resources which produce; pollution, smoke, waste, and epidemics .There is no doubt that the environment is a natural habitat for all human activities so events current on the earth surface, therefore unaffected and affect them, just the human living in healthy lives atmosphere where causes of varying degrees from effects on the environment. Our research is trying to find out how the in fact that environmental pollution by the reason of war hampering sustainable development and threatening the lives of Population, in order to reach this goal, included this research ;sociological , environmental,ecnomic security for the people of Iraq. caused unrest killed more than 85,000 civilians in 2007, estimated the number of refugees 4.7 million (about 16% of Iraq's population) in April 2008, and two million Iraqis have fled to neighboring countries, they are now according to the International Red Cross and the statements in the humanitarian situation bad, as the number of people killed during the war were 1.3 million people and in the month of August 2008 Iraq took fifth in unstable countries index.

The early and accurate detection of brain tumors is important in providing effective and efficient therapy and thus can result in increased survival rates. Current image-based tumor detection and diagnosis methods depend heavily on the interpretation of the neuro specialists and/or radiologists. Therefore, it is quite possible for the interpretation process to be time-consuming, and prone to human error and subjectivity. Automatic detection and classification of brain tumors have the potential to achieve efficiency and higher degree of predictable accuracy. However, it is well established that the accuracy performance of automatic detection and classification techniques varies from technique to technique, and tends to be image modality dependent. Thus, it is prudent to explore the variability in the performance of these techniques as a means to achieve consistent high accuracy performance. This paper presents a framework for fusing multiple tumor classifiers. The fusion process is based on the Dempster Shafer evidence fusion theory. Several tumor classifiers are employed. Experimental results will be presented to validate the efficiency of the proposed framework. It is concluded that fusing the classification decisions made by the various classifiers it is conceivable that efficient and consistent high accuracy classification performance can be attained.

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate buccal cortical bone thickness in the maxilla and mandible so as to provide guidelines for mini-implant placement. Cone beam computed tomographic scans of thirty patients (Age 16-30 years) were collected from preorthodontic records. Each measurement area was coded with a number beginning in the maxillary right quadrant distal to the second molar with number 1 and ending in the mandibular right quadrant distal to the second molar with number 30. For analysis these measurement areas were also grouped as sextants. Three measurement points were then defined at 2 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm from the alveolar crest in each measurement. The measuring locations were recorded on the four quadrants, resulting in 90 locations in the buccal cortical plate of maxillary and mandibular arch. The region of interest was explored at each measuring location of the 30 sites using Galileos software. The optimal site for miniimplant placement in the anterior region is between the central and lateral incisors in the maxilla and between the lateral incisor and the canine in the mandible at the 6-mm level from the alveolar crest. At the buccal aspect of the posterior region of both jaws, the optimal sites are between between the first and second molars i.e. in the Maxillary arch at 4 mm level on the right side and left side and in the Mandibular arch at 6 mm level on the right side and left side.
