This study determines the Effect of different Phosphorus levels on growth and yield of three varieties of cowpea (VignaUnguiculata (L) Walp) in 2016 rain fed cropping season. Phosphorus is very important for cowpea production in many tropical African soils with inherent low phosphorus fertilizer. Most farmers in this locality do not have access to phosphorus fertilizer. Selection of cowpea lines that produce good yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus use efficiency can be a low input approach to solving this problem.

An outbreak of brucellosis occurred in the municipality of Victoria, in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. On 25 April 2010, in a stable with 16 riding horses, a mare presented weakness, progressive emaciation, difficult movements and suppurative fistulous withers. Serum samples of these horses and other 27 horses in close contact with animals of the affected stable were subjected to the Rose Bengal test with 8% cell concentration and Rivanol test for identifying the presence of antibodies against Brucella abortus strain 1119-3, and microbiological culture.

Background: The beneficial effect of regular exercise on physical fitness is well documented. There is also evidence that acute and chronic exercise affect platelet activation in different ways. Few studies are available on effect of exercise on platelets function. Therefore, present work has been undertaken to study the effect of exercise on platelets. Objective: Effect of exercise on peripheral platelet count. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 40 healthy female subjects in the age group of 22-29. Samples for platelet counts were obtained prior to training and after 12 wk.

With the world becoming more and more of a global village, countries involved in trade do not strife only for the quantity of goods but also for a certain quality standard. The paper aims at identifying and evaluating some of the variables determining import demand in Cameroon. A descriptive and analytical approach using multiple regressions is exploited using World Bank data from 1980 to 2011 to estimate the parameters of a parsimonious import demand function.

It is now well accepted that e-NOs is one of target genes of HIF-1 and it plays an important role as a vasodilator or angiogenesis. We found in our series of immune his to chemical study that anti- RBM3 and CIRP antibodies were able to stain the nucleuses of neurons, myocardial cells and cells in the blood vessels existing in the newly infarction area of the brain and myocardium, although moderate or feeble reactivity with those antibodies were observed in sub-acute and/or chronic infarction area.

Baja California Sur findsits economic activity par excellence in having one of the most important tourist destinations nationally and internationally, however, given the geographical conditions of the state it is difficult for most of the territory, Benefit from this activity.

Introduction: The mothers experience various physical discomforts after child birth out of which pain is a major factor that contributes to maternal morbidity. For broadening the scope of care directed towards postpartum well-being, the present study aimed to assess the features of pain on the first three postpartum days among mothers after vaginal delivery and caesarean section.

Fifteen prepared field samples of Delta Steel Company (DSC) direct reduction (DR) steelmaking slag were studied with an energy dispersive electron microprobe including photo microscopy. Belite, melilte, merwinite (silicates), periclase, perovskite and wustite were the mineral phases present in the slag. Slag composition elements were very highly differentially concentrated in the mineral phases.

The purpose of this research was to design ecological jewelry through alternative materials such as bamboo otate, to generate environmental responsibility. Nowadays, products with low environmental impact are realized, in this sense the bamboo otate was an ideal alternative, because it is the plant with greater growth in the world, being able to be used since the two years of growth for artisanal purposes, it is a renewable resource and totally sustainable, in six months reaches a height of 60 meters, it has a high durability giving it a permanent finish.

Dalits are the most neglected, marginalized, exploited and the most disadvantaged socio-economic group in India. The continuing atrocities on the Dalits, its nature and the response (or the lack of it) of the law and order machinery represents deep-rooted fault lines in our society and demands multi-faceted action as a nation. The scourge of untouchability was a blot on the Indian civilization.
