Industrialization and urbanization is considered as, one of major threat to pollution of air, soil and water systems. Among these, water pollution is considered as important one. The addition of various pollutants to water resources is considered as major threat for deterioration of water quality and makes it unsuitable for domestic purposes. Out of many water pollutants, dyes are considered as most hazardous for the plants, animals and human beings. So, it is very important to conserve water due to limited availability. In the present study, almond husk was neutraceutical spent used as adsorbent for the removal of dyes from aqueous solutions in batch mode experiments. Parameters like contact time, pH, adsorbent concentration, adsorbent dose were studied. The results show that, almond husk is a very good adsorbent for the removal of dyes from the aqueous medium. The adsorption isotherms like Freudlich and Langmuir model were calculated and found to be favorable.

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.

Momordica charantia, cancer cell lines, cytotoxicity, MTT assay and crude water-soluble extract (CWSE)
Bio Sciences
en
The in vitro cytotoxicity of five fractions derived from the crude water-soluble extract (CWSE) of Momordica charantia, a known medicinal herb was tested on four cancer cell models; MDA-MB 436 and 231 (breast cancer cell lines), HeLa (Cervical cancer cell lines) and A549 (Lung cancer cell lines). 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.

Soil Moisture, Remote Sensing, MIR and Thermal Bands
Earth Sciences
en
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.

Elephant dung, cellulosic fibers, sodium percarbonate, oxone, hydrogen peroxide, TCF bleaching
Environmental Sciences
en
Elephant dung is an excellent source of cellulosic fibers that is a basic requirement for paper making. In this study, bleaching was carried out by using eco-friendly bleaching agents such as sodium percarbonate, oxone and hydrogen peroxide. Soda-anthraquinone (soda-AQ) semi-chemical and chemical elephant dung pulps were bleached at varying doses of bleaching agents, bleaching aids and reaction time. Presence of residual lignin after pulping stage was imparting brown color to the pulp and hence was removed by subsequent bleaching stages. Soda-AQ chemical pulps was treated with different multistage bleaching sequences. The results of this study showed that sodium percarbonate and oxone could not achieve targeted brightness for elephant dung pulp samples. Whereas, using three stage hydrogen peroxide bleaching sequence [AP5P3P2] helped to achieve the targeted brightness ~ 60.0 % G.E without much sacrificing the other optical and physical properties of the pulp. Eco-friendly bleaching helped to increase the beauty of the final product. Being rich in fiber, elephant dung pulp has a potential to be blended with other raw materials to make hybrid exotic papers of high market value.

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 subtleThe 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.

Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP), Loktak lake Manipur, north-east India which is one of the 25 Ramsar sites of international importance and the biggest fresh water Lake in India. Macrophytes of the floating Phumdi mat environment of KLNP play an important role in the aquatic environment. An investigation was planned during the period of about three years from March, 2010 to December 2012, to study the diversity pattern of habitats of macrophytes available in six study sites of KLNP viz., 1.Kumbi, 2.Khordak, 3.Keibul, 4.Toya, 5. Nongmaikhong and 6. Sargam. All total 85 dominant plant species were recorded. Maximum plant species (49) was observed in Site-1 Kumbi (Altitude-780m) and minimum (27) in Site-3 Keibul (Altitude-772). The variation of plant species may be because of the slight variation of altitude. As the six study sites are distributed as floating aquatic environment in KLNP Loktak Lake, there is favourable place of the plants in higher altitude and altitude represents a complex gradient along which many environmental variables change concomitantly. In all the six study sites, common distribution of ten dominant plant macrophytes viz., Ageratum conizoides, Hedychium coronarium, Leersia hexandra, Oenanthe javanica, Phragmites karka, Polygonum sagittatum, Saccharum munja, Thelypteris interrupta and Zizania latifolia was noticed. Individual dominant plant was recorded in other sites also viz., Azola piñata in site-6; Xanthium atrumarium, Polygonum orientale, Dichrocephala latifolia and Cymbopogon citratus in site-2; Arundo plinii, Cuscuta reflexa, Gnaphalium luteo-album, Hydrilla verticillata, Marsilia minuta, Saccolepis interrupta, Selvenia cuculata and Utricularia spp. in site-1. Variation of IVI value of dominant plant species was observed in this study. Even though 85 dominant plants were selected for all the 6 sites, however, maximum plant richness expressed in IVI was recorded in case of Zizania latifolia (Site-5, IVI-87.5) and minimum IVI in case of Xanthium strumarium (Site-2, IVI-1.13). The diversity pattern and habitats of macrophytes in KLNP Phumdi environment might be due to water availability along the altitudinal gradient and other environmental factors suited in the study sites and expected to be an important factor affecting the survival and fecundity of plant population. We need to conserve the natural habitat of KLNP thereby maintaining the luxuriant growth of the seasonal and perennial, macrophytes, so as to maintain the natural flora and fauna of the park. These plants are the food of man and animal therefore, it needs a proper care and attention to protect them from over exploitation. Considering the diversity pattern of habitats of Macrophytes in KLNP, a floating mat Phumdi environment with high floral diversity and unique vegetation assemblage, it has been suggested that this track and adjoining sites should be declared as ecologically sensitive area not only the World Heritage Site.

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.

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.

Allelopathic, alien invader, Cassia uniflora L., Vitex negundo L., and Ricinus communis L
Botany
en
Vitex negundo L. [Verbenaceae] and Ricinus communis L. [Euphorbiaceae], are especially well known for their industrial, pharmacological, and toxicological properties, but to date very little is known about their allelopathic potential. Hence the present study was conducted to evaluate their allelopathic perspectives on morphological characters of invasive alien weed Cassia uniflora Mill. Various concentrations [5%, 10%, 15% and 20%] of leaf leachates of selected plants were used as spray to test their effect on pot culture of test species. Results of present study indicated that the growth of plant was significantly inhibited in Cassia at all concentration of aqueous leaf leachates of selected plants when compared to control. Length of root and shoot, number of flowers, fruits and seeds of the weed was reduced with the increase in leaf leachates concentration. Dry weight and fresh weight of the weed were also negatively affected by aqueous leaf leachates of both the plants. The effect of Vitex leaf leachates was more pronounced than that of Ricinus. Since Vitex leaf leachates had greater activity than Ricinus against the invader, this plant could be best candidate for isolation and identification of allelochemicals, this might promote the discovery of new biocontrol for invasive weeds.

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.

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.

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found that a lipid (fat atom) in mind cells might go about as a "change" to increment or diminish the inspiration to expend nicotine. The group's discoveries in creature models point to a way that a medication may some time or another return this lipid to typical levels, maybe making it less demanding for smokers to stop. "We knew these lipids were embroiled in nicotine dependence, however up to this point controlling their union was not pharmacologically practical," said TSRI Professor Loren ("Larry") Parsons, senior creator of the new study, which included a nearby joint effort with the TSRI labs of Professor Marisa Roberto and Benjamin F. Cravatt, seat of the Department of Chemical Physiology and individual from the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology at TSRI. The study was distributed for the current week in the diary Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

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.

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.

MMPT Pore, Ficus exasperata, Methanol, N-Hexane and Ethylacetate
Bio Chemistry
en
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.

Vincristine is major player in front line combination chemotherapy for treatment of cancer and shows decrease in testosterone after treatment contributing to reproductive toxicity. Hence, the present research was aimed to study the effect of vincristine on steroidogenic pathway which is responsible for testosterone production in males. Vincristine was intraperitoneally injected to adult male Wistar rats of proven fertility with a dose of 40μg/kg/day dissolved in 0.5 ml of physiological saline for 30 days. Animals were sacrificed at the end of treatment period; their testes were removed and used for further studies. No significant changes were observed in body weight, testis weight and mean relative testis weight. Expression studies of enzymes involved in steroidogenic pathway showed that there was decrease in expression of Steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein which might be responsible for altered testosterone production.

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.

Molecular orbital theory lays on the thought that nuclear orbitals are consolidated to frame sub-atomic orbitals. Since electron thickness from every iota is spread out over the compass of the whole particle, the electrons are brought down in vitality. This records for the adjustment that happens amid holding. The measure of the adjustment relies on upon the measure of cover between nuclear orbitals and the distinction in vitality between them. In this paper, we have reviewed Nuclear orbitals that cover viably create stable sub-atomic orbitals.

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.

In this paper, the study is focused on the anti-reflection coatings on silicon solar cells and monocrystalline solar cells. The impact of optical parameters such as refractive index on the reflectivity as well as the impact of the as well as the impact of the diffusion length of the carriers was studied. The calculations performed according to the transfer matrices on the stacking of layers through the diopters have allowed establishing simulations for antireflective multilayer coatings. In our study, the reference wavelength was chosen equal to l= 700 nm, which gives us an optimal refractive index of silicon (n = 3.7838) corresponding to a reflectivity at the surface of 33%. To reduce this high reflectivity, the coating of the surface is a technique used to improve the transmission of the incident luminous flux in the active material and light flux in the active material which is silicon.

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.

A general overview has been proposed for biomass composition, characteristics and property. Biomass is the combination of all organic materials that simplify referring to amount of animal and plant. Biomass materials are diverse, ranging from wood, bark, straw and other agricultural residues, grasses and off-spec grains. Despite of diversity the composition of most biomass materials is relatively uniform, when moisture has been excluded. Biomass burning emission is an important part of carbon and nitrogen cycle. The pollutants released by biomass burning varies depends upon the constituents of nitrogen sulphur and carbon. In this paper basic knowledge of biomass and comparative data regarding composition and characterization has been studied.

Plant tissue culture technique is a powerful tool for rapid and large scale multiplication of virus free seed material. Clonal fidelity of the in vitro raised plants was carried out using RAPD. A total of fifteen primers were used for detecting polymorphism by RAPD analysis and the results revealed that all the tissue culture plants were grouped into one cluster and indicated that all the tissue culture developed plantlets are true-to-type. There are no somaclonal variations and are genetically identical with the mother plant. Virus indexing through ELISA indicated that the tissue culture developed seedlings does not contain the protein particles of ScMV and are free from the viral disease. The wells coated with leaf samples with suspected ScMV infection (97 A 85, C3) gave visual confirmation by yellow colour change, with OD 405 values of 0.526. As the reading is 2 times more than the negative control (OD 0.215) we can presume mild infection of mosaic in the test sample with lower titre of ScMV. All the ScMV +ve controls showed significant higher OD values of more than 2.515 confirming the earlier observations. Thus, viral detection using DAS-ELISA method can be used for detection and indexation in large scale sugarcane crop especially for in vitro regenerated plants with relatively cheaper cost and faster for supplying virus free seedlings to farming community in a large scale.

This study was designed to screen the thirty eight genotypes for their quality characteristics which can be exploited as feed for ruminant animals. The genotypes which posses high content of protein, oil and but low content of gossypol content will utilized for nutrient purpose. The protein and oil content were estimated by AOAC method, whereas, the gossypol content was estimated spectrophotomertically. The protein, oil and gossypol content ranged from 15.76 to 23.49, 11.37 to 16.23 and .011 to 0.29 percent respectively. The least gossypol content was observed in the ARBH 1501 (0.11%) genotype but also has low quantity of protein (19.80%) and oil (12.93%). Genotypes H 1478 and F2522 were best in terms of seed quality as seed of these genotypes contained more than 20% and 15% protein and oil content respectively, with less gossypol (0.19%) content. Such genotypes can be exploited further as a good nutrient source for the ruminants.

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.

Hepatitis B, Knowledge, Attitude and Practice
Healthcare
en
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).

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.

Root (wilt) disease (RWD), caused by phytoplasma, is a major problem causing decreased coconut productivity in southern districts of Kerala and its bordering districts of Tamil Nadu in India. The disease is non-curable but its incidence can be reduced by propagating seedlings from nuts of disease free palms. The disease free palms are selected by ELISA test which uses antiserum obtained from rabbits against purified phytoplasma extract containing 29, 28 and 18.5 K Da proteins. With an objective of developing a simpler and easier biochemical test than ELISA for RWD detection in coconut , direct SDS PAGE profiles of soluble proteins from crude leaf extracts of healthy and diseased palms of West Coast Tall (susceptible) , Chowghat Green Dwarf and Malayan Green Dwarf (high degree resistant) cultivars were evaluated for differences in intensities of protein bands with molecular masses corresponding closest to the purified phytoplasma extract proteins. It was found that the 31.2, 37.3, 16.9 and 13.8 KDa bands in WCT cultivar, 31 and 40.6 KDa in CGD cultivar and 29.9 and 37.1 KDa bands in the MGD cultivar showed consistent differences in intensities and/or presence or absence of certain bands between healthy and diseased palms. Correlations and path analysis relationship between intensity of different protein bands and ELISA value also showed significant association of one or two of these marker bands with ELISA values in each cultivar. The SDS PAGE profiles of crude leaf extracts could be used to effectively distinguish healthy and diseased RWD palms in these three cultivars.

This study investigated the factors affecting the profitability of contract broiler chicken farmers in the poultry belt in Sri Lanka. 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.

In the U.S., only a small portion of the chemicals utilized as a part of buyer items have been tried for human wellbeing impacts. What's more, with the present atmosphere in Congress, it feels improbable that we'll see any genuine change of the country's horribly obsolete synthetic security rules at any point in the near future. Meanwhile, researcher Thomas Hartung might have made the following best thing. In the least difficult terms, Hartung and associates took what is the world's biggest and wealthiest database of substance danger examination — a database created as per the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations — and composed a PC program that uses that information to foresee the poisonous quality of chemicals for which there is practically no security information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anti-reflective coating, single layer, multi-layer, reflection, refractive index
Physical Sciences

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.

Keibul Lamjao National Park, Macrophytes, Flowering Calendar
Life Sciences
en
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.

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.

The estuaine environment are dynamic and they are the intermediate zone between the marine and fresh water regions. This makes the estuarine region more dynamic in physical and chemical characteristic. These regions serves as a passage for the continental materials reach the marine environment. Because of the influence of fresh water and marine water this regions the depositional systems are dynamic and complex in nature. Despite the complexity of the of the environment, the textural analsysis and interpretation of the same provides insight into the prevailing deposition environment. The present study are carried out in the Uppar Estuary which joins with Bay of Bengal on the east coast of India. The Sedimentological analysis indicates that sediments most of the locations the sediments are very poorly to well sorted with mean size ranging from 1.03 to 5.97φ. The skewness value ranged from -0.09 to 0.48. The kurtosis varies form 0.94 to 1.54 The seasonal variations within the station are conspicuous. This indicates the sediment distribution pattern in controlled by the marine as well monsoon rainfall in this region.

Irbesatran, UV Method, Area under curve
Pharmaceutical Sciences
en
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.

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 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.

Herbicide resistant (HR) rice improves efficiency of weed management and HR varieties can develop through induced mutagenesis. The present investigation was focused on mutagenic response of seed-derived rice calli to different EMS concentrations and evaluation for HR. Seed-derived calli were obtained from glyphosate-susceptible rice variety (Bg250) and exposed to varying concentrations of EMS (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%). EMS treated calli were exposed to glyphosate (0.2%) and Tetrazolium test (1% TTC) was applied to identify cell viability in calli. Fluorescent AFLP analysis was performed on EMS treated calli. Results indicated that mutation of calli was higher at EMS concentration range of 0.1 – 0.2%. Bg250 calli demonstrated resistance to glyphosate at 0.2%. FAFLP analysis revealed E11M32 marker was found to be a specific marker to identify the induced HR in rice. The results of the study revealed that in vitro application of EMS on callus has ability to develop HR rice calli.

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 1HOC6H4NO2 + e- HOC6H4NO2∙-Equation 2HOC6H4NO2∙- + HOC6H4NO2 HOC6H4NO2H. + -OC6H4NO2Equation 3HOC6H4NO2H. + HOC6H4NO2∙- HOC6H4NO2H- + HOC6H4NO2Equation4HOC6H4NO2H- + 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.

Diversity analysis in reference to current methodology offers advantage over existing methodology such as biochemical characterization etc. Present study is carried out in order to establish diversity pattern using metagenomic procedure. The water body situated in Bhopal has its own recreation and water supply potential. Any water body is entertained by biological activity preferably predominant in sediment, as sediment represent site of various biological and geochemical activity. The protocols combine the application of mechanical (Beads and Sonicator ) and soft lysis (SDS and enzyme) method for the isolation of total DNA from sediment of Upper lake of Bhopal followed by its quantification and purity assessment. The quality and purity of metagenomic DNA was quite consistent and reliable, although it contained residual concentration of humic acid. The methods have wide applicability in investigating molecular diversity and exploring functional genes.The methodology used showed supportive observation of sediment habitat as use of extracted DNA when amplified using 16s rDNA region. Phylogenetic relationship was established. Dendogram was prepared using NTSYS ( software for clustering of the data) which is based on unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Averaging (UPGMA). The dendogram showed deviation of initial two groups at 27% as well as 42% similarity. Sample B1 and B13 from Boat club site falls with absolute similarity, B4 and B10 also shows absolute resemblance in relation to pattern of amplification.

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.

Mycorrhizal association is known to be important to orchid species and a complete understanding of the fungi that form mycorrhizas is required for orchid ecology and conservation. Vanda is a widespread orchid in Eastern and Western Ghats of India. Previously, we found the genetic diversity of this species has been reduced recent years due to habitat destruction and fragmentation, but little was known about the relationship between this orchid species and the mycorrhizal fungi. The Rhizoctonia-like fungi are the commonly accepted mycorrhizal fungi associated with orchids. In this study, morphotypes of the Rhizoctonia-like fungi associated with Vanda species were investigated. Among the endophytic fungal isolates obtained, Rhizoctonia-like fungi were identified based on morphological characters and further conformations can be done through molecular methods.

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.

One of the best difficulties connected with the developing quantities of matured grown-ups is the way to keep up a sound maturing mind. Responding to another mental call, for example, computerized photography or sewing might keep up subjective imperativeness, say scientists reporting in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience. Late confirmation proposes that taking part in agreeable and advancing way of life exercises might be connected with keeping up subjective essentialness. On the other hand, the basic component representing intellectual improvement impacts have been ineffectively caught on.

The production of electricity from the sun mainly consists of transforming the light emitted by the sun into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells. This production varies proportionally with the light that illuminates the solar photovoltaic module. According to the literature, we noted that during the period of cloudy passage, the production of the solar modules could see a fall going from 5 to 60% according to the size of the photovoltaic fields. The present work consisted of studying the impact of cloudy passages on the electrical production of PV fields at four sites (Loumbila, Sandogo, Ouaga 2000 and IRSAT). To achieve this, a theoretical and experimental study was conducted. The simulation results were compared to the experimental results of two daily sunshine profiles (sunny and cloudy). The results show significant differences between the experimental and simulated data for the two sunshine profiles considered. The losses of electrical production generated by these cloudy passages vary from 27 to 32% and from 35 to 52%, respectively, for the simulated and experimental results. These differences were explained by the probabilistic character of the cloudy passages and by the fact that other major parameters (aerosols, dust deposits and ageing of the solar modules) were not considered. As perspectives, we recommend a continuation of the work by studying, in addition to the cloudy passages, the influence of aerosols and dust deposits on the PV fields realized by us.

The study focused on quantifying the extent and sources of the deterioration of the vegetation cover of the study area at the Sudanese Blue Nile watershed in relation to agriculture extension policy, inefficient management and Lack of governmental policy. The Research was based on forest and vegetation inventory and soil analysis to determine the current situation using ground survey, forest inventory and remote sensing data as well as secondary information from other sources to cover historical records from 1990 to 2015.The results showed a significant change in natural ecosystems during the study period due to the change in the land use patterns. The Closed forests, open forests, and rural settlement areas were found to decrease by -90%, -43% and -32% respectively during the period (1990-2000). This negative trend was reflected in a positive trend showed by expansion in agriculture (+267%), horticulture (+73%), bare land (144%), and urban areas (12%). During the period (2010-2015), which was the civil war period, the area of closed forests, open forests and urban areas were increased, in comparison to that of 1990-2000) by 201,10, and 247% respectively, while that of agriculture, Rural areas, and bare lands is negative (-51, -54 and -68% respectively).The major factor for the change is mainly attributed to the migration of rural people towards urban areas due to civil war and economic crises. In addition, it is expected that there are other factors such as the absence of clear plans and coordination between concerned government authorities, at local and national levels, which may need further investigations and studies to clear the whole picture.

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.

Consider a three dimensional vector field characterized by F = (P, Q, R) , where P , Q and R are all elements of x , y and z . A run of the mill vector field, for instance, would be F = (2x, xy, z 2 x) . Accordingly the disparity is the total of the incomplete differentials of the three capacities that constitute the field. The difference is a capacity, not a field, and is characterized exceptionally at every point by a scalar. Talking physically, the disparity of a vector field at a given point measures whether there is a net stream toward or away the point. It is frequently helpful to make the relationship contrasting a vector field with a moving waterway. A nonzero difference demonstrates that sooner or later water is presented or detracted from the framework (a spring or a sinkhole). Review from electric strengths and fields that the disparity of an electric field at a given point is nonzero just if there is some charge thickness by then. Point charges cause dissimilarity, as they are a "source" of field lines.

The main aim of this study was to assess and mapping of land cover (LC) / land use (LU), using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques in Elnor natural forest reserve, Blue Nile state, Sudan. The study also attempted to update some information in the study area such as LC and contour map by using different methods of data transformation and analysis such as Normalized Different Vegetation Index (NDVI), interpolation and supervised classification. Thematic Mapper (TM), Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) and Landsat8 images were used in LCLU changes and supported by field observation. The study area was affected by cutting the mother trees and overgrazing. Closed forests during 2000, 2010 and 2019 decreased from 36.9%, 28.5% and 18.7% respectively. Moreover, the total area of bare soil increased by about 14.4%, 47.2% and 39.7% in 2000, 2010 and 2019 respectively. The open forest (grassland) decreased from 48.7% in (2000) to 41.7% in (2019). A Digital land cover map was produced using LCCS software; depending on the fieldwork data, they were found in four Classes. Mixed Woodland Single Layer, Semi-Deciduous Shrub land with Open Herbaceous, Open Grassland, Single XII Layer and Hardpans. The study revealed that there are some indicators of land degradation during the last 20 years (2000, 2010 and 2019) and is expected to continue increasing unless serious measures are carried out to reduce it.

This paper presents an optimization study of an adsorption solar refrigerator through dynamic modeling and simulation of the system behavior using the zeolite/water couple. Thus, a mathematical model representing the evolution of heat and mass transfer at each component of the adsorption solar refrigerator has been developed. The results of this study showed that increasing the angle of inclination of the collector from 0° to 13° with respect to the horizontal causes an increase in the temperature of the zeolite. The result is an increase in the mass of water vapor cycled, but also an improvement in the performance of the solar refrigerator. When the value of the angle of inclination exceeds 13°, the mass of water vapor cycled decreases and subsequently leads to a decrease in the performance of the refrigeration system.

Image segmentation plays a crucial role in recognizing image signification for checking and mining medical image records. Brain tumor segmentation is a complicated assignment in medical image analysis. It is challenging to identify precisely and extract that a portion of the image has abnormal tissues for further diagnosis and analysis. The method of segmenting a tumor from a brain MRI image is a highly concentrated medical science community field, as MRI is non-invasive. In this survey, brain MRI images' latest brain tumor segmentation techniques are addressed a thoroughgoing literature review. Besides, surveys the several approved techniques regularly applied for brain tumor MRI segmentation. Also, highlighting variances among them and reviews their abilities, pros, and weaknesses. Various approaches to image segmentation are described and explicated with the modern participation of several investigators.

AIMS and OBJECTIVES:Morphine, a government controlled drug, is not readily available in India. The myths of morphine, especially respiratory distress at high doses has restricted the use to low suboptimal doses in both hospitals and in domiciliary set ups. The present study was done to determine the demographic profiles for patients treated with morphine on domiciliary care under the supervision of medical college palliative care centre.MATERIAL and METHODS:A prospective longitudinal study was performed among patients attending palliative clinic at tertiary care hospital. Raised intracranial tension, severe respiratory distress with history of uncontrolled COPD, bronchial asthma with severe lung impairment and renal and hepatic impairments were contraindications to morphine prescriptions.RESULTS:During October, 2013 to March, 2016, 523 patients were started on oral morphine after fulfilling the requirements of pain treatment protocol. In 48.2% of male patients head and neck (32.1%) and lung (27.8%) and in females patients cervical cancer(36.2%) and breast cancer at 33.2% were most common malignancies. 31.7% of patients had evidence of metastases. Palliative radiation was used in 37.3% patients. 19.3% patients had no use of opioids at the time of recruitment which meant that they were started at level WHO ladder step3 on oral morphine directly for control of severe pain. Codeine and tramadol were commonly used opioids either in single drug formulations or in combinations with NSAIDS. Commonly used NSAIDS were ibuprofen (400 -600 mg, QDS) , diclofenac (60mg, QDS) and paracetamol (500mg-1gm, QDS). 15.1% of patients had morphine threshold below 75 mg /day while 26.27% patients had dose in excess of 150 mg/day. None of the patients received dose > 300mg OME according to AQA. Adverse events were not significantly different among the 3 groups of patients.CONCLUSION:Morphine availability still remains a problem and training of health personals pertaining to cancer pain treatment and domiciliary morphine use should be mandatory.

The kinetics of oxidation of benzyl alcohol and a few substituted benzyl alcohols with 1-chlorobenzimidazole (CBI) were studied in aqueous acetic acid medium. The order of the reactions with respect to each oxidant and substrate was found to be unity. The added HClO4 increases the rate and the order in [HClO4] was found to be fractional. The reactions were catalyzed by NaCl and a fractional order dependence was observed for [NaCl]. The ionic strength had negligible influence on the rate. Increase in the percentage of acetic acid increases the rate. Addition of benzimidazole, one of the products does not affect the rate. Effect of temperature on the reaction rates was studied at different temperatures and the various activation and thermodynamic parameters were computed. The Hammett plot shows an excellent correlation with negative ρ value (- 0.37) for benzyl alcohols. Product analysis shows the formation of aldehydes as major products of oxidation of benzyl alcohols. CBIH+ has been postulated as the reactive oxidizing species. Suitable mechanism and the rate law in consistent with the experimental results have been proposed.

Water is essential for agriculture. Most of the farmers depending upon the ground water for irrigation purpose, but now a days the underground water is going to towards very deep down level. Because our environment affected by water drought, pollution and lack of rain falls. It will be creating negative effects to cultivation .In this present study is to assess the underground water quality in Mayiladuthurai Taluk of Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu. Totally 30 underground water samples were collected, which covers 10 Revenue villages in Mayiladuthurai Taluk, 3 samples from each Revenue village and analyzed all the physico - chemical parameters such as pH, EC, Ca, Na, K, SO4, Cl, Mg , CO3, and HCO3 and the water quality index SAR, RSC, Geo-chemical types, classification were determined by standard methods, standard calculation and by using standard instruments. Then the irrigation water quality results were compared with standard values Recommended by World Health Organization (WHO), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The proposed work is very essential not only for crop production but also to maintain soil fertility, to maintain hazardous free environment and to enhance the living standard and in turn to uplift our Agriculturist.

In this work we have presented an analogy between the coupled vibrations of two classical oscillators and the oscillations that take place in a laser cavity. Our aim is to understand classically the causes that lead to the phase diffusion in a system of coupled classical oscillators and to explore possibilities of any relationship between phase fluctuation and the frequency difference. The equations of motion for the classical oscillators have been derived and solved, for different values of coupling coefficients, to obtain the expressions for the mode frequencies1.The solutions, while plotted graphically have led us to the conclusion that in classical oscillators the mode frequencies of the oscillators are far apart if their oscillation is heavily coupling dependent and consequently the phase relationship of the oscillators fluctuate vigorously and frequently, which is the converse of what happens in a laser cavity consisting atomic oscillators.

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.

Pulp and paper are manufactured from raw materials containing cellulose fibers, generally wood, recycled paper, and agricultural residues. In developing countries, about 60% of cellulose fibers originate from nonwood raw materials such as bagasse (sugar cane fibers), cereal straw, bamboo, reeds, esparto grass, jute, flax, and sisal. Large amount of toxic effluent is released during process of paper production. Pulp and paper mill spent wash (raw effluent) is highly acidic in nature with high BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, phenol, sulphate, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and metals viz. Mn Zn Cu Ni Fe and Na . Effluent was treated with chemicals FeCl3 and KMnO4. pH was found to increase from 7.8 to 8.4 on increasing concentration (1 gl-1 to 5 gl-1) of KMnO4. Similarly colour, COD and BOD were decreasing with increasing concentration of KMnO4. Maximum colour, COD and BOD reduction were recorded 21.25%, 93.79% and 81.48% respectively at 5g l-1 concentration of KMnO4. Decrease in pH was recorded from 3.3 to 2.0 on increasing concentration (1 gl-1 to 5 gl-1) of FeCl3 (Ferric chloride). Decrease in colour, COD and BOD were also observed with increasing concentration of FeCl3. Maximum colour, COD and BOD reduction were recorded 99.10%, 54.16% and 85.92% respectively at 5g l-1 conc. of FeCl3.

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.

Water security is emerging as an important and imperative issue for India. Many Indian cities are experiencing moderate to severe water shortages due to understood effects of industrialization and urbanization. These shortages would be further provoked by population stress and irrigation requirements that are major factors related to water insecurity. Around 1.2 billion people, or almost one-fifth of the world's population, live in areas of physical scarcity and 500 million people are approaching this situation. Another 1.6 billion people or almost one quarter of the world's population, are facing economic water shortage. Water use is growing at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. The water bodies, rivers, lakes, dams and estuaries are continuously subject to dynamic state of change with respect to the geological age and geochemical characteristics. The dynamic balance in the aquatic ecosystem is upset by human activities, resulting in pollution which is manifested dramatically as fish kill, offensive taste, odor, color, and unchecked aquatic weeds. Consequences of such human activities and discharge of sewage water makes the existence of the lakes more vulnerable. It is the prime necessary to take immediate remedial action to prevent all anthropogenic activities in the studied lakes or else the lakes will become biologically barren and will be lost forever. In the present study an attempt was made to know the physical, chemical, characteristic of lake water of selected lakes of Mysuru city.

Children with moderate malnutrition have a high risk of mortality and MAM is associated with a high number of nutrition-related deaths. If some of these children suffering from MAM do not receive adequate support, they may progress towards severe acute malnutrition (SAM), which is a life-threatening condition. Therefore, the management of MAM should be a public health priorityA well-balanced diet was prepared based on the recommendation of WHO for the treatment of moderate acute malnourished children aged 6 -59 months. According to the formulae, nine products of RUSF were prepared using cereals, legumes, seeds, oil, sugar, and vitamin and mineral premix. Three products of RUSF MSPe, PBPe, and ISPe were found to be better among the nine products by the mothers after sensory evaluation.Based on sensory evaluation in children, RUSF MSPe was found to be the best among the three products. The product was analyzed for proximate composition, mineral, vitamin, digestibility of protein. The protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, total ash, vitamin C, Vitamin A, iron, calcium and zinc of 100 g of the product were found to be 15.9g, 33.7g, 44.3g, 6.6g, 2.2g, 54.6 mg, 855 µg, 14.1 mg, 66.6 g and 12.4 µg respectively. The diet can supply 544.5 Kcal/100 g. The energy contributed by the protein, fat, and carbohydrate was found to be 11.68%, 55.7%, and 32.62% of total Kcals respectively. The protein digestibility adjusted to the chemical index PDCASS was 0.95.Hence, the prepared RUSF is in accordance with the specification given by WHO which could be effective in the treatment of moderate acute malnourished children after the clinical trial.

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.

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.

Solar cookers are devices that allow cooking by using free solar energy. However, they can’t operate during cloudy periods or at night. A hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) is an alternative that uses an endogenous and renewable energy source for ecological and economical cooking. In this work, the performances of a hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) are evaluated. The experimental results obtained indicate that the absorber plate reached a maximum temperature of 121.60 °C. Moreover, the maximum power of the cooker was 78.47 W with an efficiency of 29% in solar mode and 28.4% in biomass mode. The first and second figures of merit parameters performed are 0.1043 and 0.2732 respectively. The results obtained are conclusive in both solar and biomass mode.

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of three levels each of nitrogen (0, 60 and 120 kg/ha) and phosphorus (0, 40 & 80 Kg/ha) on Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.emend Fiori & Paol) cultivar ‘VL 907’ during Rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Regional Agricultural Research Station Rajouri, SKUAST-Jammu under rainfed conditions of Jammu and Kashmir. Application of graded levels of nitrogen and phosphorus progressively improved growth and yield attributes but in a decreasing order. There was a progressive increase in grain yield of wheat with each increment from 60 to 120 kg N ha-1 from the crop fertilized being maximum from 120 kg P ha-1. Similarly, application of 80 kg/ha resulted higher grain yield than the yield obtained in control. Lowest plant height, number of effective tillers per plant, panicle length, dry matter per plant, number of grains per panicle, weight of grains per panicle, grain yield, straw yield and biological yield was observed in 0 and 50 per cent nitrogen and phosphours. Various crop traits such as number of fertile tillers, 1000-grain weight and number of grains per spike were significantly influenced by nitrogen and phosphorus application. Similarly, fertilization with at 120 kg N ha-1 and 80 kg P ha-1 maximally improved all these traits in both the years.

This study focused on the assessment of land degradation on a transect of 20 km along the Blue Nile River (10 km at each side of the river) within the Blue Nile state, Blue Nile State, Sudan. Through mapping and monitoring the changes that occurred in the soil properties, due to Water Erosion, Vegetations degradation, mismanagement in addition to the Human activities and Climatic change The study attempted also to update some information in the study area such as chemical properties using different methods of data transformation and analysis such as: Soil analysis technique, GIS and remote sensing analysis. The research was based on the data and information deduced and extracted from soil survey data, soil analysis, and remote sensed data, in addition to fieldwork verification and other sources. The study covered an area about 346483.43 ha. Soil analysis and data compilation from other sources showed that the soil of the study area witnessed remarkable changes during the study Period (1990 – 2015). The degradations affected the Soil and Vegetations covers of the study area in both side around the Blue Nile River. The analysis indicated that soil degradation was taken place in the study area specially the top west and south east parts of the area which was affected by some buckets of salinity, northern part shown moderate level of acidity while the Part from the south East and South west area shown moderate level of Alkalinity. Assessment and evaluation of the soil of the study area in respect to soil texture revealed that 15% of the total area received some Sand deposits in the study area which it considered the beginning or indicator of soil degradation in the south west and northern part of the study area, while the SAR analysis indicated that all the soils of the study area fell within none sodic class. According to framework of the land suitability (FAO, 1976) revealed that the soil of the study area is moderately suitable (S2) for agriculture.

Groundwater samples were collected for physico-chemical analysis during pre-monsoon period (May, 2015) from fluoride affected Bhopalpatnam block, District-Bijapur. The major objective of this study was to locate the vulnerable areas of fluoride contamination. The results reveal that the fluoride concentration in the existing groundwater in Bijapur-District is ranging from 0.1 to 3.58 mg/l. It is found that the study area is affected mostly by high Fluoride concentration and is evident from the 59% of total samples collected showing >1.5 mg/l of Fluoride concentration, which is a maximum permissible limit suggested by Bureau of Indian Standard [9].The evaluation of physico-chemical parameters reflects that weathering of granitic rocks are responsible for major ion chemistry of groundwater in Bhopalpatnam area. This study will be helpful in solving problem related to drinking water in the study area.

Hydrogen sulphide is a toxic gas, it can cause a range of physiological responses from simple annoyance to permanent injury and death. There are a number of approaches to deal with the impacts of toxic gases. This study focused on minimizing the hazard exposure for hydrogen sulfide in the different operational zones for activated sludge process in sewage waterplant. Research tools/ approaches conducted were interviews, toxic gas testers, analysis report interpretation & quantitative risk assessment method. The study was conducted on Arabian Peninsula during the period (September 2019- September 2021). The (13) operational locations tested for toxic gas concentrations were inlet chamber, outlet channel, coarse /fine screens, primary sedimentation tank, activated sludge tanks, secondary sedimentation tanks, gas desulfurization unit, disc filters, chlorine dosing unit, sludge dewatering, sludge silos and digester tanks. The study found that the highest concentration for H2S in the inlet chamber/ outlet channel. The severity hazards in the sewage treatment plant using activated sludge process are the asphyxiation by H2S was extremely high can cause harm to public health, followed by the radiation hazard followed by electrical hazard, then (working at height, mechanical, traffic, health, chemical, physical, ergonomic, environmental, microbial and natural). The frequency of hazards occurrence is asphyxiation by H2S was extremely high followed by the radiation hazard and health hazard including the infection with Covid 19 virus followed by mechanical hazard then (electrical, traffic, ergonomic, natural, chemical, physical and natural). Control measures were recommended to minimize the risk of asphyxiation by H2S in the working environment at the STP.

A ferromagnetic material in the absence of an external magnetic field shows the peak of its specific heat in low temperature, called the Schottky anomaly, which is vital in understanding the low-energy structure of a given material. A general formula for the low-temperature behavior of the specific heat of an N-spin ferromagnetic material in an external magnetic field (the generalized Schottky anomaly) is obtained for the first time. Also, as a representative example of ferromagnetic materials in an external magnetic field, the low-temperature behavior of the specific heat for the Ising ferromagnet is studied.
