The artisanal productions of the maritime fishing resources were studied in three landing-stageof Abidjan (Cote d’Ivoire) from May to October 2014. Artisanal maritime fishing in Cote d’Ivoire is exclusively practiced by the Ghanaians Fanti, Ewé and Ningo ethnics groups. The most dominant age class is 25 - 40 years old, which accounts for 62% of total fishermen, followed by those of 17- 25 years old (33%). The fishermen over 40 years old represent 5% of the total number of fishers. The unloaded resources are distributed between 16 families and 26 fish species and one species of Mollusc.

Acid-mine drainage (AMD) contains high concentrations of heavy metals these contaminants were generally avoided by lime neutralization. However, this method is expensive and generates large amounts of residual sludge. The selective precipitation of metals using H2S produced biologically by sulfate reducing bacteria has been proposed as an alternative process. in this study, acid mine drainage was treated in a laboratory scale. Bioreactor fed with an H2 and Methanol was used to treat acid mine drainage. The maximum rate of H2 transfer suggests that this step should not be a limiting factor.

Cadmium ranks close to lead and mercury in toxicological importance due to its increasing levels in the environment, as a result of industrial practices of past and present. Chromosomal responses to cadmium chloride shocks were studied in the pupal footpad polytene chromosomes of Sarcophaga ruficornis. Cadmium chloride induces a single puff on chromosome arm IIL at the region 12A by in vitro treatment. Heat shock and other chemical stresses is also induced similar puff in several sarcophagids.

The research aimed at analyzing relationship pattern of vehicles volume and noise level, especially on arterial and collector roads in Kendari City. Analytical approach with descriptive statistic method is using scatter plots. The results show that vehicles volume has significant relationships with noise. Noise level variability could be explained by vehicles volume of 75.2% at arterial and 77% collector road. In these case, heavy vehicles with a composition 4% has a significant role in influencing to noise on arterial road.

Molecular biology, with its applications,has ominously made thefield of human cancer researchinnovative.With the advent of nanotechnology united with Nanomaterials, Biotechnology and Nanorobotics, it is one of the change and development in the field of dentistry. The Dietary supplements comprising of valuable bacteria or yeasts is called as Probiotics. Tissue engineering exhibits a novel field, aiming to re-create the efficient, fit tissues and organs as a substitute to unhealthy, dying, or deceased tissues.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is defined as persistent or intermittent infected discharge through a non-intact tympanic membrane having duration of three months or more. CSOM has direct impact on the hearing of patient causing conductive and sensorineural hearing loss and also on child development. Antibiotics are used to treat the infections but most of the organisms are acquiring resistance. The bacterial isolated vary in various geographical areas with different antibiotic sensitivity patterns.

Objective: To analyse and assess the incidence of Obstetric Hysterectomy (OH), its indications, risk factors and the complications associated.
Method: All cases of OH that were performed in our hospital from June 2010 to May 2015 were reviewed and evaluated in terms of the incidence, indications,and the associated complications.

The language policy of Turkey regarding the evaluation phase of English language education issue was investigated following the comments on the issue from a diverse point of view. Nowadays, Turkey’s language policy seems to have been much more improved since the education reform in 1997 bringing a rise in the curriculum development, course book design and teacher development programs. In conclusion, the advancement practices in EFL education have been initiated in Turkey or even in Ottoman Empire formerly, however these improvement attempts are still unfulfilled. 

Intelligence is the general capacity of an individual or a mental energy of an individual, which enables him to adjust effectively in the environment and deal with novel situations of life. It is an organization comprising of the abilities of readiness, correctness and of understanding complicated and abstract things. It is an inborn natural power that makes a man capable of overcoming difficulties and problems of life. The present study investigated the intelligence of secondary school students in Lakhimpur district of Assam.

The present study investigated whether obsessive–compulsive children show a distinguishable profile in tasks considered sensitive to frontallobe functioning, i.e. executive functions (EF). The evaluated sample comprises 20 children, both genders, mean age 10,33±1, 83 years, diagnosed as OCD using DMS-IV. Psychological evaluation was performed with Child Behavior Check List, Kohs cubes, Beck Depression Inventory, The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children, Stroop Color Word Test and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.
