Obesity is considered a multifactorial pathology that causes several metabolic changes. The objective is to evaluate the effects of the consumption of AIN-93 and high-fat (HF) diets on Wistar rats. We performed clinical, biochemical, histopathological, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) -based metabolomic analyses. Among the diets studied, the visceral fat and adiposity index of animals fed with the HF diet were higher than those of animals fed with the AIN diet, but there were no differences in body weight between groups.

Tung Kula Rong Hai is mostly sandy soil, lack of plant nutrients, flooding in some areas, water shortage of the growing season, flooding end of season and rainless in dry season, soil is spreading salinity, farmers lack motivation to improve the soil and the use of technology to increase crop yields. As a result, some areas of Tung Kula Rong Hai used to grow rice have reduced yield problems and low quality rice makes the aroma decrease. This problem is due to the fact that available of soil nutrients have decreased, especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Bioremediation of oil spills requires the identification of microbes which have the ability to degrade hydrocarbons present in the soil or water, so that in case of a large spill these can be stimulated further in order to clean-up the area. The world today is very much dependent on crude oil, either to fuel the vast majority of its mechanized transportation equipment or as the primary feedstock for many of the petrochemical industries.

An appraisal of the knowledge, attitude and practices of meat handlers on their personal hygiene was undertaken in Gwagwalada municipal abattoir, Abuja, Nigeria. The slaughter practices in the abattoir contribute significantly to the keeping quality of meat both in the abattoir and in the retail outlets. Disease pathogens may be introduced in meat through careless handling by butchers and other meat handlers or operators, thereby constituting grave danger to public health if such contaminated meat or meat product is consumed.

Polycrystalline semiconducting chalcogenide thin films of CdZnSeTe are prepared on large area of glass substrate by spray pyrolysis technique. Thin films of CdZnSeTe deposited at different substrate temperatures 250°C, 275°C, 300°C and 325°C were investigated. Absorption coefficients for the films were evaluated from optical transmission spectra in the wavelength range 350nm-1100nm.Composition was confirmed from EDAX while SEM pictures shows the presence of nanotubes.
