The present study provides the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index of the study area. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the vegetation index using Lands at image. NDVI map prepared by using ENVI Image processing software. The study area NDVI map gives the Maximum value of 0.7 and Minimum Value of-0.06. The result depicts following types of vegetation index like Water bodies, Barren and Rocks, Shrub and Grass land, Moderate Green, Very green area, dense forests, Temperature and Tropical Rainforests.

Nanomaterials are well suited for water purification, disinfection and wastewater treatment applications. Antimicrobial nanoparticles can disinfect polluted water without formation of harmful disinfection by-products. Hence the present study is focused on the comparison of Zeolite loaded Copper oxide and Iron oxide nanoparticles and its effect on antibacterial and antifungal activity against bacteria and fungi isolated from secondary effluent.

Developing or producing of a new product would be an easy task but finding sustainable market would be the major problem for small producers or budding entrepreneurs, failing which lead to defunct or closure of industrial unit. In order to avoid much market dependency of industrial units an innovative attempt has been made in this paper based on a field based work. This paper mainly based on the regional resource based planning for employment generation for local unemployed simultaneously trying to fulfill the local consumer needs.

Plantain (Musa Paradisiaca AAB var. Corne 1), okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus var. Tomi) and bell pepper (Capsicum Annuum var. PM17/04A) contribute to food security in developing countries such as Côte d'Ivoire. These foods, which have high moisture content, can be kept only within a few days after harvest. Processing these products by drying and changing into flour is one solution for easy handling and long-term storage. Moisture adsorption isotherm information is clearly needed for processing of plantain, okra and bell pepper flour.

Use of microorganisms in synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is coast effective and eco-friendly and easily scaled up for large scale synthesis. The present investigation reports a simple and environmental friendly method for biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNps) by Lysinibacillus fusiformis strain AUMC b-160 which was isolated from soil sample treated with manure and showed ability to utilize wheat and rice straws as a sole carbon source.

Nanorobots are future in-vivo surgeons that will locomote in human vascular system manoeuvring their specific medical task such as identifying and destroying cancer cells, repairing tissues, clinical trials and so on. Since, they are expected to carry out complex tasks with their simple designs; they need a swarm intelligence system, that will ensure their collaboration, biocompatibility of these nanorobots as well as ability to adapt in dynamic environment in human body. Many Swarm Algorithms have been suggested so far for nanorobot functioning invivo.

Abyssinian long-claw (Macronyx flavicollis Rüppell, 1840) is a near-threatened bird species endemic to the highlands of Ethiopia. Little is known of the species demography, biology and ecology. This study was conducted in the northern montane grasslands of the Bale Mountains, southeast in Ethiopia, to determine abundance, habitat preferences and potential threats to Abyssinian long-claws.

The community has become increasingly aware of child abuse in society. Child abuse is the non accidental physical injuries which are within the scope of dentistry or easily observed by dental professional in the course of routine dental treatment. This paper will discuss the importance of an early recognition by dental practioners because a high proportion of abused children suffer injuries to the face and head, including the oral and perioral region which could have an impact to dento-craniofacial growth and development in children.

Objective: To study the effect of pre- intervention stress scores and self-reported habitual dietary intake with the success in achieving weight reduction measured as change in anthropometric indices and body composition variables in women on a comprehensive weight reduction program. Methods: Women in the age group of 20-30 years, visiting a nutrition consultation clinic in Jaipur city with the aim of weight loss and willing to participate in the study were included. Fifty six women enrolled in the study. Each participant was assessed for anthropometric indices and dietary intake.

The study was carried out in the Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nigeria Nsukka, to determine the influence of poultry manure application on the vitamin content, proximate and chemical properties of leaves of Moringa oleifera plants. The levels of poultry manure used were 0 tonne/ha, 5 tonnes/ha and 10 tonnes/ha respectively. The moringa seeds used were collected from three locations of Nigeria i.e Nsukka (Enugu State), Dutse (Jigawa State) and Jos (Plateau State).
