This paper discusses the problems that the interest rates of shadow banks under the current Chinese financial system are too high, which is unhealthy to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and that the magnitude of the amount of total debts released by shadow banks cannot be measured accurately. In order to support that, this paper collects information of financial data of nine SMEs from one bank and of their connections with shadow banks. The result shows that eight out of nine (88.9%) SMEs have connections with shadow banks.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of composted coirpith, composted pressmud, farmyard manure and NPK on soil enzyme activities and nutrient status of post harvested soil of clusterbean.

Thymus Capitatus is a shrub, which is native of the Mediterranean basin. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition and inhibitory effect of essential oil of Thymus Capitatus on the corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid (1M).The essential oil of Thymus Capitatus has been studied using gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

This paper reports the influence of annealing temperature on optical and dispersion energy parameters of sol-gel routed spin – coated Molybdenum tri Oxide (MoO3) thin films. The higher annealing temperatures increase the values of dispersion energy parameters.XRD study reveals the formation of α- orthorhombic phase at higher annealing temperature and amorphous nature at lower annealing temperature. The optical band gap of MoO3 film is found to be 3.3 -3.8eV, and the refractive index of the film is found to be 2.2 -2.9.

Aim: To assess the knowledge and practices regarding antenatal assessment among nurses working in obstetric units. Method: A descriptive research was done and data was collected from 60 nurses working in obstetric units of selected hospitals. Structured questionnaire and checklist was used to assess the knowledge and practices regarding antenatal assessment of nurses.

The present study was carried out to optimize cheese whey media composition for maximum lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei using Response Surface Methodology. Four media components i.e. CSL, K2HPO4, MgSO4, and Sodium acetate were subjected for optimization Response surface methodology (RSM) a central composite design to determine the optimal concentration of these components for lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei. A satisfactory fit of the model was realized. Lactic acid production was significantly affected by interaction of CSL, K2HPO4, MgSO4, and Sodium acetate.

This paper aims to wards a review of the history of determining and debating about the term equivalence in the translation studies and by giving examples from German, French and Macedonian, it tries to apply the theoretical statements into practicing translation. The notation equivalence has caused heated controversy in the translation theory as well as many different analyzes of its concept, especially of its definition, relevance and applicability with in the field of translation studies.

Effect of 10 and 30 % sublethal concentration (12.4 ppm; 96 h LC50) of nickel on the haematology of Liza parsia after the exposure period of 30 days was studied. The RBC count (-35.82%) and Hb content (-63.28%) decreased significantly with an increase in WBC count (+28.95%). The light microscopic studies revealed many morphological changes in the RBC of fish such as wrinkling of cell membrane, vacuolization and rupture of erythrocytic membrane.

Effect of 10 % sublethal concentration (12.4 ppm; 96 h LC50) of nickel on the gill ultra structure of Liza parsia after the exposure period of 30 days was studied. The SEM studies revealed many morphological changes in the gill of Liza parsia such as epithelial hypertrophy, fusion of secondary lamellae, necrosis and degenerating microridges with mucous opening due to chronic exposure of the nickel.

Enzymes produced from microorganisms that can survive under extreme pH could be particularly useful for commercial applications under high alkaline conditions. In this research project comparative analysis of solid state fermentation and submerged fermentation is carried out, in order to find out which is better of the two. Fungal isolates were screened for alkaline protease production on Skim milk containing agar plates and identified by clear zones of protein hydrolysis around colonies.
