Research aims to assess the vulnerability (V) to saltwater intrusion (SI) in the context of climate change (CC) by index method based on integrated calculating exposure (E), sensitive (S), and adaptive capacity (AC) indices. Accordingly, 40 indicators for assessing V to SI were established by the expert adjustment method, and then applied to a case study in DongNai province (Vietnam). Calculation results for the period of 2014 - 2030 showed the decrease in V over the years mainly due to the increase in AC and the decrease in S.

Dietary influence of Sargassum powder (250mg, 500mg, 750mg and 1000mg) on the growth and reproductive capabilities of Artemia parthenogenetica fed with rice bran has been described in this paper. At the end of 5th week, the survival percentage was increased from 51.6±2.46% to 59.0±1.51%. The maximum life span of Artemia was extended from 90.6±2.09 (control) to 94.3±2.93 days. The length of Artemia increased from 83.2±1.61mm (control) to 85.3±2.41mm. The biomass of Artemia increased from 76.3±1.62 mg (control) to 84.9±1.17mg. The FCR increased from 69.2±1.68% (control) to 71.4±1.74%.

During past few years, continuous detection of khapra beetle was reported in rice consignments shipped from Pakistan to USA and Mexico. It triggered partner countries to enforce export restrictions on Pakistani processed rice causing millions of dollars loss to the country. Finally, it accelerated exporters to streamline this problem and to find the source of interception in rice supply chain of the country.

The microbiological and physico-chemical qualities of five solid waste dumpsites and a control site without dumpsite in Port Harcourt and its environs were determined during wet and dry seasons. The microbiological parameters examined in each sample included, total heterotrophic bacterial count (THB), counts of Salmonella and Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, total and faecal coliform bacteria. Pb, Cu, Mn, NO3-, SO42-, pH and temperature were the physicochemical parameters analyzed. Sieve analysis was carried out to verify the permeability of the soil.

In The utilization of cementing material such as silica fume, flyash, granulated blast furnace slag, rice-husk ash and metakaolin are new trend in concrete studies. Ordinary Portland cement utilizes significant amount of natural resources and pollutes the atmosphere by emitting large amount of carbondioxide.so to reduce this ill effect, a new research field is developed in concrete called geopolymer concrete.

The objective of the study is to compare the composition of nutrients on two cultivars of voandzou seeds. The seeds of voandzou we studied come from the locality of Nkamba South of the DR Congo and in the town of Djambala precisely in the North of Congo Brazzaville. Biochemical and physicochemical seeds characteristics were evaluated to determine the nutritional value of the seeds of this legume and its conservation.

Using legumes as a green manure is a well-established practice because it adds nitrogen-rich plant material to the soil. This study evaluates successive crops of lettuce fertilized with different doses of bovine manure in the presence and absence of mung bean. Experiments were carried out at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm, Mossoró, Brazil, from August 2015 to January 2016. We applied a complete randomized block design with treatments arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme, with four replications.

Objetivo: Descrever a experiência de intervenção em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Coronariana a partir passagem de plantão. Método: Estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência realizado a partir da observação participativa das passagens de plantão da equipe de enfermagem, sistematizado as etapas da metodologia problematizadora. Resultados: A observação da realidade norteada pela metodologia problematizadora permitiu mudanças nos hábitos do ambiente, construído por meio da reflexão, potencializandoa aprendizagem, responsabilidade e autonomia profissional.

In the present pharmaceutical are the science which treat in detail medicinal, pharmacognosy and related product of drug obtained from plant, animal and mineral origins. In short, it is an study crude drugs from natural sources treated scientifically and it encompasses the knowledge of the history, distribution, cultivation, collection, processing for market and preservation, the study of sensory, physical, chemical, and structural characters and the uses of crud drugs. The aim to study of some crude drug in Chhattisgarh region like Ginger, Ajwain, and Black paper.

Ecological indicators have pervasive appeal to scientists, environmental managers and general public at large. They have long been used to detect changes in nature, but scientific maturation in indicator development has occurred mainly in the past twenty years. Currently, indicators are primarily used to assess condition of the environment, as early-warning signals of ecological problems. The present survey reveals the presence of diverse diatom communities in three lakes consisting of 9 different genera and 15 species.
