The present study was carried out in the district of Zunheboto, Nagaland which lies at 94.52° East Longitude and 25.97° North Latitude  covering a total area of 1255 square kilometres. The study was conducted during January 2013 to December 2013. The distribution and abundance of these indigenous medicinal plants were recorded through consultation of the villagers and local traditional healers of Sumi tribe of Zunheboto District.

The experiment was conducted at animal production farm, faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Gadarif to investigate the effect of Safari (Crotalaria senegalensis) huskand Sorghum husk (Sorghum bicolor) on the performance of desert lambs. Twelve desert lamb males were selected (6-9 month of age) from animal production farm flock with average weight 26.7 kg.

The Cyanide compounds have been listed as one of the toxic pollutants that are usually released into environment. A study on cyanide analysis has been devised to determine the total cyanide concentration in wastewater. This work determines the concentration of total cyanide in water and wastewater collected in some metal plating factories in Hanoi. The determination of cyanide (simple CN-) is based on the chlorination of cyanide and the subsequent reaction of the product with a mixed solution of pyridine – pyrazolone to form a stable color complex.

Farmers at Umguza Irrigation Lots practise unrestricted crop production using undertreated wastewater. This presents potential public health risk to producers, vendors and consumers of the produce. The aim of the study was to establish the level of public health risk of wastewater use in unrestricted crop production at Umguza Irrigation Lots. Water samples from the dam, canal and overnight reservoir and vegetables: Lactuca sativa, Brassica oleracea and Solanumlycopersicum were obtained and analysed for physiochemical and microbial characteristics.

Testing has always remained at the core of the language learning because it helps decide the level of the learners. Language Testing has witnessed very significant developments in recent years. This has, in turn, led to a major reconsideration of the way language tests are designed, written, analyzed, administered, scored, and used. World testing bodies, therefore, constantly strive to keep up with such developments so that they can offer more reliable and effective examinations. Wilson Taylor’s cloze test is one such work on the testing of reading ability of the target group.

Agribusiness plays a very significant role in the economy of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul because it generates jobs and income in rural and urban areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between factors of production and gross output value in farms. Such analysis can underpin policies for maximization of the economic result of agricultural output. Thus, data from the Brazilian Agricultural Census (2006) were used for an estimation of the Cobb-Douglas production function.

We report a case of 25 yr old female who came to our Pulmonary OPD with insidious left sided chest pain and was proved to have Agensis left lung associated and left kidney, a rare association. On further investigations there is absence of left pulmonary artery and hypoplastic left radius with bowing of ulna.

Background: Preoperative pain management is an important aspect for anesthetists. Using analgesics before the surgery can delay pain feeling and analgesic request by patients. We compared the effectiveness and priority of single dose 400 mg celecoxib, over two doses of 200 mg celecoxib in patients undergoing leg surgery.

The edible forage resources were studied with Ruminants behaviour in the High Bassin zone of Mandrare in Southern Madagascar. Analysing the floristic components and goat foraging behaviour allowed determination of nutritive value, bite rate and preference ratio in rangelands. Sampled areas were monitored to record the floristic formation within calculated parameters such as species quality index, pastoral value and preference ratio.

During the last two decades, social sustainability in communities has become an interested topic among urban scholars and researchers. Unfortunately, there is no pervasive study that has been carried out to evaluate the impacts of social sustainability on the livability of public spaces in urban settlements. Especially, pedestrian streets are an important part of open spaces that have significant contributions to creating a better quality of life, lowering atmospheric emissions and increasing rates of walking in urban settlements.
