This manuscript presents an economic model for the adoption of resource conserving technologies by farmers. It discusses the theoretical model development relevant for studying technology adoption decisions based on established economic theories. The economic models demonstrate that farmers will select conserving technology without policy intervention; however the social optimum level of conservation will not be achieved. Therefore, government policy in the form of incentives will achieve the social optimal level of conservation.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases which if not controlled can cause serious complications. Aim: To predict the risk factors of hypoglycemia in type II diabetic subjects. Methodology: Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglyceride (TG), serum urea, creatinine and microalbuminuria levels were evaluated.

Browse tree leaves from Acacia nilotica, Balanites aegyptiaca, Combretum adenogonium, Sclerocrya birrea and Ziziphus spina-christi were evaluated for in vitro gas production andpotential degradability. Browse species were selected from a field survey. All the parameters studied varied significantly (P < 0.05). Means for in vitro gas production incubation time intervals ranged from 30.6 to 45 ml/kg DM for 3 and 96 hrs, respectively. Balanites aegyptiaca, C. adenogonium and Z. spina-christi at 48hr had high gas production potential compared to A. nilotica and S. birrea.

This study investigated the synergy between the residential indoor spatial configuration and the perception of use of the space by the occupants. This was done with the intention of fostering a better design for satisfaction having understood human condition and specific definition with their fundamental philosophy of communication with space. The primary data was sourced through the use of a questionnaire administered to the residents in the study area and further study utilised relevant text and publications on the subject matter.

Pigmented bacterial isolates was isolated from various environmental samples. Vitek identification analysis and PCR analysis of 16SrRNA amplifying gene showed that this bacteria was related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pigments was extracted with 1N HCl and ethanol.After extraction, pigment was subjected to various chemical analysis including thin layer chromatography, spectrophotometric analysis and gas chromatography –Mass spectrophotometric analysis.

Productivity improvement is inevitable to any firm in order to remain competitive in market place. It enables the firm to meet its obligations to workers and share holders. Various techniques have been proposed for productivity improvement which focus at the core level on the improvement of the process by research and development and physical means of productivity. However, such techniques demand substantial investment in highly trained technical staff and need infrastructures such as plant and equipment.

Snuhi (E. neriifolia Linn.) is an herb extensively used in the Indian system of medicine, is a small deciduous tree of the family Euphorbiaceae.
