Mycotoxins play a global role in human and animal health. Molds in poultry feed are a source of significant economic loss to poultry producers. Molds adversely influence performance of animals by altering the nutrient composition of feed ingredients, decreasing the efficiency of nutrient utilization, and by producing toxic secondary metabolites.
Since the advancement of information technology and the development of computers in the 1960s, students’ approaches to design education have been affected greatly in recent years. The current situation of using Computer Aided Design (CAD) in architectural practices through the aid of computer systems for visualisation presentation, communication, and information processing purposes define the future of architectural education in universities and graduates employment opportunities into small to mid-sized companies.

Qualitative phytochemical analysis of the methanol and ethanol extracts prepared from Tiliacora acuminata seed revealed the presence of alkaloid, catechin, coumarin, flavonoid, phenol, quinone, saponin, steroid, tannin, terpenoid, sugar, glycoside, xanthoprotein and fixed oil.
Fishery Cooperatives; are organizations that provides and serves about production, processing, storage and marketing issues of all kinds of aquatic products’ partners and established to provide their needs of common fishing gears, supplies and equipment. Therefore, cooperative system is seen one of the most appropriate tool for eliminating the problems that aquatic products sector currently within, besides, to sustain aquatic products stocks and the fishermen communities (mostly fisheries are cooperative partners).
This study was conducted to assess demography and dynamics of mountain nyala (Tragelaphus buxtoni) in relation to habitats/vegetation, slope, seasons, altitude. The data were collected in 1984 eight years before population crash of T. buxtoni in 1991 in Bale Mountains National Park. Sample total count method was used to survey the population in three sites where the species known to be abundant in the northern part of the Park.
It is important to identify the genetic diversity amongst sugarcane genetic resources for cultivar development and evaluation of sugarcane varieties. The genetic diversities of 125 sugarcane varieties including 117 varieties (lines) developed in Guangxi (China) and 8 others were studied using 10 SSR markers. The results showed amplification of total 110 bands ranged from 90 to 350 bp in size. The number of bands per locus ranged from 7-14, when scoring was restricted to strongly amplified fragments, and averaged 10.5 polymorphic bands per locus.
Mining in the Asutifi district began in 2003 when Newmont Gold mining (GH) Limited started mining gold. Since then, the company’s operations have continued to expand covering large areas of land that falls in their concessions. This study analyses the mining operations of Newmont in the Asutifi district and how their operations are affecting the livelihood of the residents of the district.

A total of 5000 samples were included in this study. Among this, 2500 samples belongs to coastal areas 2500 samples belongs to non coastal areas.
The primary objective of this study was to determine the anti-diabetic activity of Strobilanthes ciliatus in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic rats In the present study the antidiabetic effects produced by the aqueous and alcoholic extract of whole plant of Strobilanthes ciliatus were investigated in the Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide induced experimental diabetic model. The alcoholic extract showed significant reduction in blood sugar level when compared with normal rats (p<0.05). This investigation demonstrates significant antidiabetic activity of Strobilanthes ciliates.
In the 1st century, the use of the Latin word plagiarius (literally kidnapper), to denote someone stealing someone else's work, was pioneered by Roman poet Martial, who complained that another poet had "kidnapped his verses." This use of the word was introduced into English in 1601 by dramatist Ben Jonson, to describe as a plagiary someone guilty of literary theft. Plagirism means taking the words and thoughts of others (their ideas, concepts, images, sentences) and using them as if they were own, without crediting the author or citing the source.
