The aim of the research was to determine the effects of different intra-row spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm) and nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1) on yield and yield components of confectionery sunflower genotype (Alaca). The experiment was laid on “Randomized Complete Block Design” as split plots with three replications.  The highest seed yield obtained from 20 cm intra-row spacing and 120 kg ha-1 nitrogen and the score were 243.3 kg da-1 and 315.3 kg da-1 in 2007 and 2008.

Nanoparticles are the perfect materials for wastewater treatment and efficient in removal of pathogens, dye decolourization and organic compound removal and the biological synthesis of nanoparticles is an ecofriendly process. Hence the present study trends in about the biosynthesis of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles and evaluation of its ability in waste water treatment. The biologically synthesized Titanium-dioxide nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis, SEM-EDAX, TEM, XRD and FTIR.

Governments are generally responsible for providing Public facilities and infrastructures and use of eminent domain to dispossess individuals, families and communities of their rights/ interests in land/landed Properties and pay compensation to the dispossessed owners. The determination of compensable value for interest in land/landed properties is provided by the Acts, Decrees and other relevant statutory enactments guiding the process.

A semi-analytical solution for the three-dimensional Langevin equation is presented and used to study the contaminant dispersion in the Stable Boundary-Layer (SBL). The method leads to a stochastic integral equation whose solution is based on the iterative solution of Langevin equation by the Picard’s Iterative Method. The novelty in this work relies on the consideration of the Eulerian autocorrelation function suggested by Frenkiel (1953) and Murgatroyd (1969).

Women play a vital role in today’s society. They have a dynamic social life. They actively participate in a range of social and cultural functions. A woman today no longer clutch to the man in nearly all occupations. She plays the games such as football, cricket, and hockey.  She even draws the attention of the world as a successful athlete. The women can no more be kept behind the curtains doing only familial duties. Our society is compliant to the wider contribution of women. They are operational as pilots, and they are even holding the rudder of a country’s administration.

Insect make up the largest and most diverse group of organisms on earth, contributing to as much as 80 – 90 %   of the world’s biodiversity. Approximately 950,000 species of insects have been described, some estimate there are 4,000 000 species in total. Over 70 % of drugs on the market are derived from natural compounds, however, insect are one of the least explored groups in drug discovery. A large portion of animals on earth, particularly insects, utilize chemicals as their primary tools of warfare and defense.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the phytochemical investigation of bio-active compounds by using GC-MS and anthelmintic activity of whole plant of chloroform extract of Lantana camara L. GC-MS analysis of chloroform extract of Lantana camara L. was performed on a GC–MS equipment (Thermo Scientific Co. Thermo GC-TRACE ultra ver.: 5.0, Thermo MS DSQ II). The chloroform extract of Lantana camara L. was screened for anthelmintic activity on Pheritima posthuma. The preliminary phytochemical study revealed that chloroform extract of Lantana camara L.

The maintenance of optimal cardiac output is mandatory to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. Despite the advantages of cardiac output monitoring, most of the modalities to measure cardiac output had been invasive thereby preventing their liberal use. However, nowadays, cardiac output can be measured noninvasively using a thoracic bioimpedance technique.

Caries dentalis one of the most common human disease. One of the bacteria considered thata very important role in the mechanism of plaque formation and increased colonization of bacteria that cause caries is Streptococcus mutans. S. mutans is considered as bacteria that causes caries dentaldue to their ability to form biofilm on the tooth surface. Searching of bioactive compounds from natural materials is still the alternative, one of the plants that has potential is Myrmecodia pendans. In previous studies, the ethyl acetate extract of M. pendans reported can inhibit the growth of S.

Background: An organized physical exercise program is a physiotherapeutic tool in promoting functional efficacy in old age.
Aim: To determine the quality of knowledge possessed by older adults on organized physical exercise programme as a physiotherapeutic tool in promoting functional efficacy in old age and to verify the null hypotheses of no significant difference on demographic characteristics of the subjects.
