Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield Parameters of Maize (zea mays l.) As well as Soil Physico-chemical Properties

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crop in the world agriculture as food, feed and industrial raw material which ranked third largest cereals following rice and wheat respectively [1,2]. In India, it is grown in more than 8.33 m. ha, having a production of 16.68 mt and average productivity of 2002Kg ha−1 [3]. It is grown across a wide range of agro ecological zones, due to its wider adaptability. In India, Andhra Pradesh was reported to be the largest producer of maize among the producing state contributing 21 per cent (%) of total production, followed by Karnataka 16%, Rajasthan 10%, Bihar and Maharashtra 9% each as well as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh each contribute 6% [4].
Ultrasonography (USG) and multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT) evaluation of thyroid swellings

Background: Thyroid ultrasound has undergone a dramatic transformation from the cryptic deflections on an oscilloscope produced in A-mode scanning, to barely recognizable B-mode images, followed by initial low resolution gray scale, and now modern high resolution images. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of ultrasonography (USG) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in thyroid swellings, compare the ultrasonographic findings with multi-detector computed tomographic findings and to correlate the radiological findings with histopathological examination (HPE). Materials and methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Radiology, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally. In this study, 50 patients with thyroid gland swellings diagnosed clinically, referred to Radiology Department were selected during the period from October 2008 to September 2010. Histopathological examination was acquired in 35 cases. The study was carried out to observe the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of USG and MDCT in thyroid gland swellings. Results: Maximum number of patients belonged to the age group of 21-40 years that was 27 cases (54.00%) and maximum number of patients were females – 41 cases (82.00%). Most common diagnosis was multi-nodular goitre on USG-16 cases (32.00%) and MDCT14 cases (28.00%), solitary thyroid nodule is common in the right lobe of thyroid by USG -5 cases (62.50%) and MDCT5 cases (62.50%). Most common malignancy was papillary carcinoma of thyroid -5 cases (62.50%) and most common inflammatory disorder was hashimoto’s thyroiditis -5 cases (10.00%). Naveen Kumar S, Vidyadhara Rani P. Ultrasonography (USG) and multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT) evaluation of thyroid swellings. IAIM, 2017; 4(9): 145-155. Page 146 Conclusion: The present study has concluded that USG is the fast and cost-effective modality of imaging investigation of choice in thyroid diseases and for differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. MDCT is superior to ultrasound in evaluating retrosternal extension, relations and infiltrations in large lesions. It is also very helpful in evaluating extra-capsular, mediastinal, vascular invasion, lymph nodal involvement and metastasis. MDCT is very crucial in preoperative planning in malignancies of thyroid and large benign lesions.

Evaluation of Wound healing activity of Ethanolic extract of Aristolochia bracteata and Cassia tora on Wistar Albino rats

The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Aristolochia bracteata and Cassia tora were studied for its effect on wound healing in rats excision wound model. Simple ointment (ointment base) was used as a control and nitrofurazone ointment as a reference standard. Ethanolic extracts of both the plants have been shown to possess good therapeutic potential as anti-inflammatory agent and promoter of wound healing due to the presence of active terpenes, alkaloids and flavonoids. It was observed that the wound contracting ability of the extracts were significantly greater than that of the control, which was comparable to that of the reference standard Nitrofurazone ointment.
Kinetics of direct reduction of El-Baharia Iron ore (El-Gedida) Oasis Egypt, briquette via Hydrogen

El-Baharia iron ore is a source of iron in iron and steel Co. in Egypt. This iron ore will be used for producing iron by direct reduction using hydrogen as a reducing agent. Briquettes were the form to be reduced under several conditions of changing hydrogen flow rate, and temperature. Keyword: Iron ore, Reduction by hydrogen, Kinetic reduction model, briquette of iron ore ——————————  —————————— . Introduction Roohollah et all (2011) [1],indicated that in the nature, it is infeasible to find pure iron itself because it has a high tendency to react with oxygen. In general, it can find iron as iron oxide with other materials like: silicon, sulfur, phosphor, and manganese. Iron oxide with all other materials which exists in the nature calls iron ore or iron stone and is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), goethite (FeO(OH)), limonite (FeO(OH). n(H2O)) or siderite (FeCO3). Damien et al (2006)[2], indicated that the reduction of iron ores by hydrogen is a gas-solid reaction which occurs in two or three stages. For temperatures higher than 570°C, hematite (Fe2O3) is first transformed into magnetite (Fe3O4), then into wustite (Fe O), and finally into metallic iron whereas at temperatures below 570°C, magnetite is directly transformed into iron since wustite is not thermodynamically stable. Pineau et all (2006) [3], studied the reduction of Fe2O3 by H2 in the temperature range of 220– 680 °C to examine the rate controlling processes of this reaction in the widest and lowest possible temperature range. This is to be related with efforts to decrease the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere thus decreasing its green house effect. Reduction of hematite to magnetite with H2 is characterized by an apparent activation energy ‘Ea’ of 76 kJ/mol. Ea of the reduction of magnetite to iron is 88 and 39 kJ/mol for temperatures lower and higher than 420 °C, respectively. They found that the mathematical modeling of experimental data suggests that the reaction rate is controlled by twoand three-dimensional growth of nuclei and by phase boundary reaction at temperatures lower and higher than 420 °C, respectively. Morphological study confirms the formation of compact iron layer generated during the reduction of Fe2O3 by H2 at temperatures higher than 420 °C. Pineau et all, (2007)[4] studied the reduction of Fe3O4 by H2 in the temperature range of 210–950 °C. In this work two samples of Fe3O4 produced at 600 and 1200 °C, designated as Fe3O4(600) and Fe3O4(1200), have been used as starting material. Reduction of Fe3O4(600) by H2 is characterized by an apparent activation energy ‘Ea’ of 200, 71 and 44 kJ/mol at T < 250 °C, 250 °C < T < 390 °C and T > 390 °C, respectively. The important change of Ea at 250 °C could be attributed to the removal of hydroxyl group and/or point defects of magnetite. This is confirmed during the reduction of Fe3O4 (1200), While transition at T ≈ 390 °C is probably IJSER International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 6, Issue 7, July-2015 1019
Inpainting using Multiresolution Gaussian Pyramid

— Image inpainting is the technique of filling-in damaged regions by the surrounding information without affecting the contents and quality of the image i.e. restoration of an image using computers. Bertalmio proposed the first digital inpainting technique and coined the word ‘inpainting’ to the restoration work of digital images. Digital image inpainting is an interesting research topic and gathered the much needed momentum since 2000. In the present paper, we generate multiresolution Gaussian pyramid of an image to be inpainted by filtering and down sampling. We substitute the damaged region of an image at a next lowest resolution level by expanding image at the lowest resolution level. The expansion and substitution process is carried out from the lowest resolution to the highest resolution to fill-in the damaged region. The downsampling reduces the damaged regions along the Gaussian pyramid and the expansion (upsampling) and substitution fills-in the damaged region.
Review on antimicrobial treatments for textile

Antimicrobials are used on textile substrate to control bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew and algae and the problem of deterioration, staining odors and health concerns that they cause. The term antimicrobial refers to broad range of technologies that can provide varying degree of protection for textile products against microorganisms. In this review paper covers the optimum discussion about the antimicrobial finish on textile substrate. WHAT ARE MICROBES OR MICROORGANISMS? Microbes are the tiniest creatures not seen by the naked eye. They include a variety of microorganisms like Bacteria, Fungi, Algae and viruses. Bacteria are uni-cellular organisms, which grow very rapidly under warmth and moisture. Further, sub divisions in the bacteria family are Gram positive(Staphylococcus aureus), Gram negative (E-Coli), spore bearing or nonspore bearing type. Some specific types of bacteria are pathogenic and cause cross infection. Fungi, molds or mildew are complex organisms with slow growth rate. They stain the fabric and deteriorate the performance properties of the fabrics. Fungi are active at a pH level of 6.5. Algae are typical microorganisms, which are either fungal or bacterial. Algae require continuous sources of water and sunlight to grow and develop darker stains on the fabrics. Algae are active in the PH range of 7.0-8.0. Dust mites are eight legged creatures and occupy the household textiles such as blankets bed linen, pillows, mattresses and carpets. The dust mites feed on human skin cells and liberated waste products can cause allergic reactions and respiratory disorders. [1-4]
EFFECT OF ADANSONIA DIGITATA L. ON PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN RATS

The improvement of physical performance remain important for the sportsmen but controls related to the doping substances are intensifying.To improve this physical performance without doping it would be indicated to have resolt to the natural substances from food or medicinal plants. Adansonia digitata is widely used as vegetable in Togo and traditional healers advise currently young wrestlers in Kabyè land to eat diet from this plant many days before the competitions. This study aims to investigate the effects of fruit pulp and leaves of A. digitata. on swimming performance and hematological parameters in rats. Male Wistar rats were orally administrated with A. digitata. Leaves or fruit pulp (1000 mg/kg/day) and submitted to swimming for two weeks (6 days of exercise a week without any load). On the 16th day, rats were made to swim till exhaustion with a load of 5% body weight attached to their tails. At the exhaustion point the duration of the effort is recorded. Hematological parameters before and after effort, serum biochemical parameters and serum TNF-α were measured. Antioxidant capacities of A. digitata were also investigated. The results showed that A. digitata leaf and fruit pulp significantly improve swimming time in treated rats (1000 mg/kg/day) compare to untreated rats. This performance could be related to the ameliorative effects of A. Digitata on hematological parameters and its capacity to enhance serum antioxidant potential. A. digitata leaf and fruit pulp could use as food complement to improve physical performance.
Utilization of ECDLP for Constructing a New Certificate Based Digital Signature

Digital signatures that are used to achieve the integrity along with the authentication could be classified into various types. PKI based, ID based, certificate based and certificateless digital signatures are the most important types. Regarding advantages of certificate-based signatures (CBS), we want to propose a CBS scheme by means of employing elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP). The proposed scheme’s security is proven under the elliptic curve discrete logarithm assumption in the random oracle model. Results of comparing our scheme with existing pairing-free certificate-based signature schemes, shows that ours has much lower computational cost.
Effects of Whole-Body Heating on Chronic Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a condition that may originate from an injury, disease, or stresses on different parts of the body that transfer as a feeling of pain in the bones, nerves, or muscles of the lower back. The prevalence of LBP at some point in one’s lifespan is estimated at 85%, and 2-10% of these individuals will live with chronic LBP (CLBP). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 7 consecutive days of whole body heating on chronic low back pain in individuals between 30-65 years of age. A water-perfused suit, through which 50°C water was passed, was utilized to increase core body temperature (Tc) by 0.8°C for 7 consecutive days. Pain questionnaires were used to assess changes in CLBP during the 7 days of heating, and at 2-days and 2-week post-heating. The average McGill Pain Scores from heating day 1 (H1) to day 7 (H7) decreased 20.2%. The functional limitation scale decreased 12.5% from H1 to H7 and the symptom scale of frequency and intensity of pain symptoms both decreased 2.8% from baseline to 2-weeks post-heating. Varied results acutely following heating were observed between subjects, suggesting heating may provide relief for acute pain in some subjects. All three pain scales utilized in the present study (McGill Pain Questionnaire, the functional limitation scale, and the symptom scales) suggested improvements in CLBP with repeated whole body heating to a 0.8°C increase in Tc. Additionally, these therapeutic effects were still evident 2 weeks following the last day of heat therapy. These results suggest promising potential for whole body heating as a non-invasive, non-pharmacologic method of treating chronic low back with benefits lasting for days or weeks post-therapy.
Prevalence of ovine fasciolosis in selected Kebeles of Wogera District, North Gondar zone, Ethiopia

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November, 2016 to April, 2017 to determine the Prevalence and risk factors associated with ovine fasciolosis in eight randomly selected kebele’s inWogera woreda, North Gondar Zone of Amhara Region. A total of 384 fecal samples were collected from randomly selected sheep and examined coprologically to detect Fasciola eggs. Out of which, 139 (36.2 %) were positive for fasciolosis.statistical analysis showed that there was not statistically significant association between sex (P>0.05). with prevalence of (35.9%) and (37.2%) in female andmale sheep, respectively. A statistical insignificant variation (P> 0.05) in prevalence was also observed among age groups where higher prevalence was recorded in adults (37.8%) than young animals (32.8%). unlike, there was statistically significant difference (P<0.0;5) in infection rate among different body condition scores was observed in which higher prevalence was recorded in poor (54.3%) than in good(26.2%) and medium (31.4 %) body conditioned animals.Different prevalence of ovine fasciolosis were recorded in eight kebele’s withDebraso(42.0%),Sankatikem(43.6%),Dengordeba(36.7%),Ambageorgis(40.0%),Birra(35.0%)and Sankdeber(45.0%)andwas found statistically significant(P<0.05) in study area where higher prevalence was recorded insankdeber(45.0%) and Sankatikem(43.6%) than others.In conclusion the finding reported here showed that the prevalence of fasciolosis in sheep was high, which could be attributed to the presence of favorable environment for the abundance of intermediate host and the parasite. Considering the huge negative effect of the parasite on health and productivity of the livestock sector, strategic parasite control method with an integrated approach should be implemented to improve the health and productivity of sheep in the area.
Could we Depend on HBV DNA Level to Predict Significant Liver Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients with Persistently Normal Alanine Aminotransferase PNALT

Background and Aim: One of the challenging issues facing hepatologist worldwide is the management of chronic hepatitis B patients with persistent normal enzymes, according international guidelines only patients with elevated enzymes were considered for therapy. Liver biopsy remains an integral part in determining disease severity in this group of patients; however it is an invasive procedure. So here we trail to evaluate the relationship between serum hepatitis B virus DNA and liver histopathology, which may guide clinicians for the beginning treatment depending on HBV DNA level in this particular subset of patients. Methods: A total of 93 chronic hepatitis B patients with PNALT were enrolled in the cross sectional study. Serum viral load were determined using real time polymerase chain reaction method (RT-PCR) and liver biopsy with histopathological evaluation for activity and fibrosis according to (METAVIR score) were recorded. All patients were divided into two groups according to the HBe Ag status. The relationship between serum HBV DNA levels and liver histopathology was explored. Results: A total of 93 CHB patients with PNALT were included in the study, 77 patients (82.8%) were HBe Ag negative and 16 patients (17.2%) were HBe Ag positive. HBV DNA levels ranged between 27 – 64× 106 IU/ML. Thirty three patients (35.5%) were presented with moderate-to-severe Inflammation (A2 – A3) and 41 (44.1%) had significant fibrosis (F2 – F4). The serum HBV DNA levels were not correlated to the histological stage of liver disease in either HBe Ag negative or HBe Ag positive patients (p value 0.077 and 0.625) respectively. HBe Ag negative patients with high viral load (> 20.000 iu/ml) had higher percentage of significant fibrosis when compared to those with low or moderate viraemia but the difference did not reach the statistical significance Conclusion: No significant relationship between serum HBV DNA level and severity of liver fibrosis in CHB with persistent normal ALT.
Strain improvement of Aspergillus terreus for increased lovastatin production

Strain improvement of Aspergillus terreus was carried out by physical and chemical mutagenesis for increased lovastatin production. The spore survival of Aspergillus terreus strain JPM3 after different periods of exposure to UV light and Ethyl Methane Sulphonate was assessed. Four mutant clones were obtained by the mutagenesis programme. In which two mutants were derived by UV irradiation and another two mutants derived by EMS treatment. The yield of lovastatin varied from mutant to mutant and the mutant strain JPM3-UV1 produced the maximum lovastatin yield (1553.02 mg l) followed by strain JPM3-EMS2 (948.5 mg l).
