The experiment was conducted on 12 buffaloes between 6 +1 years of age, weighing between 500 + 50 kg kept at dairy farm, Tandojam. Four Kundhi Buffaloes were randomly allocated to each group A, B and C. Buffaloes in group A was fed on conventional ration, buffaloes in group B were fed on scientifically balanced ration prepared by researcher at department of Animal Nutrition, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam and buffaloes in group C were given commercial dairy ration purchased from Hyderabad market.

This study investigated the capability of a biosurfactant produced by a novel strain of Bacillus subtilis to enhance the biodegradation rates and bioavailability of organic contaminants isolated from soil sample. 10 isolates of Bacillus subtilis were isolated from three different oil contaminated soil samples. All isolates showed α – haemolysis in haemolytic test. In oil displacement test, isolates BS1, BS2, BS3, BS4, BS5, BS7 and BS8 showed zone of diameter 25mm, 13mm, 18mm, 16mm, 9mm, 11mm and 18mm respectively.

This is an explanation of how life might have originated. It is written for non-specialists. The cooling by seawater of rocks under the floor of the ocean, played an important role in the origin of life. Such a process might seem remote from our everyday knowledge of life but it has now been known for more than twenty years that genetically primitive micro-organisms are to be found living at warm springs on the ocean floor.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the correlation of soil properties towards metal loss of API 5L X42 carbon steel coupons, with emphasis on soil pH and resistivity. A total of four pieces of X42 coupons was placed in four different soil samples gotten from four different villages within the Nagapattinam Delta region for 2400 hours, to study the influence of soil properties towards metal loss via weight loss method. The soil coupons were buried in the soil samples placed in a plastic container, allowed to corrode naturally and then retrieved every 240 hours.

Background: Uterine fibroids, or leiomyoma, are tumors or growths made of smooth muscle cells and other tissue in the uterus wall. They are the most common non-cancerous tumors in women of childbearing age. It can cause painful symptoms and abnormal bleeding from the uterus. Fibroids are located in certain parts of the uterus, such as the uterine cavity, can also make it difficult for a woman to get pregnant or maintain a pregnancy.Antibiotics are the more widely used drugs to prevent surgical site infections in gynaecology surgeries even though there was evidence of complication.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the physical and chosen basic motoric characteristics of students aged from 6 to 12 doing regular exercises. The population of the study consists of Tuncay Artun Primary School, Kıraç Primary School, Ümraniye Birlik Primary School, Süleyman Çelebi Primary School and Ragıp Kutmangil Primary School which are all active in İstanbul, and the sample of the study consists of 379 students chosen from these schools.

Sandalwood is a kind of semi-parasitic plant (semi-obligate or hemi-parasitic). This plant is associated with other plants (host) through haustoria to obtain nutrients. Some elements are obtained from the soil such as calcium (Ca) and potassium (K). Minerals in solution form are obtained from host plants such as nitrogen (N), phospor (P), sodium (Na) and amino acids. Thus it can be concluded that the cultivation of sandalwood absolutely requires the host plant. Various host plants will improve the quality of its oil content.

Retail pharmacy business practice is very different and noble form of business practice not only in India but across the globe. Retail pharmacy not only contributes business but also to the welfare of humanity and provides significant socio- economic benefits to the society through creation of jobs, supply chains and community development. Today around 90 million unorganized retail pharmacy present at every corner of India is supporting Indian domestic pharmaceutical market .All these is not possible without t the strong base of unorganized retail pharmacy.

This paper attempts to highlight the agricultural information needs of farmers covering total population of 884 farmers. Result discussed on the different type of information required by farmers in their farming activates and their dependent on formal and informal agencies.

Candida species are part of the normal microbiota of most people, but can also be responsible for infections, acting mainly as opportunistic microorganisms. The typing of Candida isolates is important for hospital epidemiology studies. The aim of this study was to analyze the molecular profile of Candida albicans isolates from the oral cavity of individuals with and without HIV and verify genetic relationships between them using the RAPD-PCR methodology. Two different groups, containing a total of 116 C. albicans isolates, were analyzed.
