An Economic Analysis of Paddy Fodder and Livestock Management in Tunga Bhadra Project (TBP) Command Area in Karnataka

Livestock plays an important role in the rural economy of the country. Livestock is a key source of supplementary income and livelihood, especially for small land holdings and landless rural poor households. India generates approximately 507.8 million tons of on-field crop residues, of which 43 per cent is rice and 23 per cent is wheat, remaining 16 per cent of crop residue is burnt on the field. In Thungabhadra project (TBP) command area 54 per cent were large farmers followed by medium farmers (21 %). Four methods of residue management practices were identified in TBP command area out of which removal of straw and burning of stubble method were found to be the highest (42.45%) and the major one. The main reason behind burning of residues are low cost and labour scarcity. Total cost of cultivation of paddy per acre was found to be marginally lower in case of burning of straw and stubbles method when compared (` 37577) to incorporating straw and stubbles (` 38838) method in case of high livestock density area. Among the different residue management practices the livestock possession per respondent was found to be the highest in case of the removal of straw and burning of stubbles (1.69) followed by removal of straw and incorporation of stubbles (1.52). The least was found in case of burning of straw and stubbles (1.09). Major constraints found during paddy fodder management practices were lack of technical knowledge about residue management and non-availability of custom hire service, especially reaping binder in TBP command area.
Accuracy of Treadmill Test in Diagnosis of Ischemic Heart Disease in Correlation with Coronary Angiography

Background: Treadmill test is an important non-invasive investigation in diagnosis of suspected cases of ischemic heart diseases. In this test, we try to examine the heart under increasing load especially if the resting electrocardiography is normal or non-diagnostic. Objectives: To find the specificity and sensitivity of Treadmill test in diagnosis of ischemic heart diseases. Patients and Methods: Fifty patients who had chest pain underwent exercise tolerance test and advised to do coronary angiography. They were divided into four groups according to the results of treadmill test and coronary angiography. Results: During this study (50) patients (31 males and 19 females) presented with chest pain underwent treadmill test and coronary angiography all the patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 57.30 years, true positive group included 46 patients while the other groups false positive groups, true negative, and false negative included two, one and one patient respectively. The sensitivity of treadmill test was 97.7% and specificity was 33.3%. Conclusion: Treadmill test is useful test for diagnosis of chest pain because it’s sensitive, non-invasive and cost effective.
A Study of Soil Based Microbial Fuel Cells

The performance of microbial fuel cells can be enhanced by several factors including its resistance to impact. This resistance is determined from both the proton mass and the weak cathode caused by the oxygen reduction reaction. This is due to the protons in the aqueous phase of the transport rate being very slow and remaining in the hollow fiber reactor. This helps to improve the proton transfer as well as minimize the resistance. Cathodic oxygen also assists in the reduction reaction and the concentration of dissolved oxygen works toward a unipolar response relationship. This means that when placed along with a cathode, they can improve the aerobic performance of microbial fuel cells. It also matters which additives are placed within the MFC. Adding fertilizer and molasses increased MFC performance by an average of 45 and 38% respectively while table salt decreased electric production by 23% over a period of several weeks.
NP1600 EFFECT ON CHANGE IN BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN BROILERS

This study examines the effect of NP1600 on the variation in biochemical parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, creatinine, total protein and uric acid) in broiler chickens. A total of 15 chickens was divided into 5 batches of 3 animals, four batches receiving NP1600 (80ppm, 120ppm, 150ppm, and 300ppm) and a control batch did not receive this product. The serum concentrations of the parameters studied were generally found to be high in the control group, but these concentrations were decreased in batches supplemented with NP1600 in high doses (above 120 ppm). In conclusion, in broiler chickens, the addition of NP1600 to their diet has an impressive effect, especially on total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, and uric acid. Objective: Study the effects of NP1600 on the variation of the following serum biochemical parameters: total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, urea, total proteins 15 broilers were divided into five batches of three animals, four batches of treatment and one control batch; The addition of NP1600 (80ppm, 120ppm, 150ppm, and 300ppm) to the treated batches decreased the rate of biochemical parameters studied by increasing the doses of NP1600.and uric acid. Methods and Results: 15 broilers were divided into five batches of three animals, four batches of treatment and one control batch; The addition of NP1600 (80ppm, 120ppm, 150ppm, and 300ppm) to the treated batches decreased the rate of biochemical parameters studied by increasing the doses of NP1600. Conclusion: In broiler chickens, the addition of NP1600 to their diet had impressive effects on total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine and uric acid.
THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES SCIENCES Biomass Production in the Rangelands of Gambella, Ethiopia

The study was conducted in the rangelands of Gambella, southwestern Ethiopia with the objectives of investigating biomass production of the grazing areas. For the vegetation survey the rangeland was stratified by districts namely: Itang and Jikawo and each district further divided into major grazing types (less, seasonal, communal grazed and river basins). Data were collected on grass species composition and estimation of the biomass was made on the dry matter basis. Biomass of standing grass and total biomass in the districts were significantly (p<0.05) affected by grazing. Accordingly, with the highest in less grazed areas (2,044 and 2,216 kg/ha) followed by moderately grazed areas (1,006 and 1,137 kg/ha) the least in river basins (467 and 563 kg/ha). In Jikawo district, total biomass of less grazed, moderately grazed and heavily grazed communal lands and river banks were 1678; 1032;652 and 457 kg/ha, respectively. The standing grasses biomass of these major grazing areas was with the order of 1513; 897; 573 and 369 kg/ha, respectively. The annual DMY of the herbaceous vegetation layer in the study districts under the grazing land use category may be estimated as 243,950.0 t DM/annum for Itang and 173,470.0 t DM/annum for that of Jikawo. According to the estimated biomass production of the grazing lands, the carrying capacity of the rangeland in Itang and Jikawo would be 0.16 and 0.13 TLU/ha, respectively. However, rangelands in Jikawo district support large number of livestock beyond their maximum capacity (0.85 TLU/ha) compared to the estimated CC. On the other hand, in Itang there was underutilization of the grassland due to lower livestock population depended on the available grassland feed resources (i.e., 0.05 TLU/ha). An attempt to employ appropriate management systems along with monitoring of the rangeland condition might be needed to promote the productivity of the study areas to the level of the carrying capacity to ensure its sustainable utilization.
Molecular mechanism of transcriptional activation by oestrogen receptor alpha.

Oestrogens regulate the transcription of target genes by binding to the oestrogen receptors (ERa and ERp) which function as ligand inducible transcription factors. Both E R a and ER(3 are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily which is characterised by a highly conserved DNA-binding domain. There are two distinct transcriptional activation domains: the ligand independent A Fl at the N-terminus and the ligand dependent AF2 at the C-terminus which is encompassed by the ligand binding domain (LED). Following sequence specific binding of oestrogen receptors to the promoter of target genes, additional co-factors are recruited in order to remodel the chromatin structure or to aid the docking of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme. The AF2 activity of E R a is mediated through interaction between the LED and coactivator proteins upon ligand binding. In order to define the ERa-coactivator interface at a molecular level, systematic mutagenesis was carried out. This led to the identification of a group of conserved hydrophobic residues in the LED that are required for binding the p i 60 family of coactivators. Together with helix 12 and lysine 366 at the C-terminal end of helix 3, they form a hydrophobic groove that accommodates an LXXLL motif, which is essential for coactivator binding to the receptor. The presence of endogenous coactivators is a major impediment for studying designated receptor-coactivator pairs in mammalian cells. To circumvent this problem, a yeast genetic screen was conducted to identify suppressor mutant coactivators for a transcriptionally defective ER a. The V380H mutant receptor fails to interact with wild-type p i60 coactivators such as SRC le. However, an altered specificity mutant SRCIe recovered from the screen is able to interact with the mutant receptor, and fully rescues its transcriptional activity in transfected mammalian cells. Remarkably, introduction of the analogous mutation into other p l60 coactivator family members confers the ability to suppress the V380H mutation. This suggests that at least in the assays employed, recruitment of a p 160 coactivator by E R a is sufficient to activate transcription.

RECENT TREND OF SEROPREVALENCE OF DENGUE IN HARYANA

Introduction: Dengue is a common arthropod borne viral infection caused by any of the four serotypes of dengue virus. It can lead to life threatening complications such as dengue hemorrhagic fever. An increase in the number of cases of dengue has been noticed in India during recent years. Aims and Objectives: The present retrospective study was undertaken to know the trend of seroprevalence of dengue from 2007 to 2012 in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: A total of 2,405 blood samples from clinically suspected dengue patients were received in Microbiology laboratory during the study period of six years. Serum was separated from all blood samples and was further tested for the presence of IgM and IgG anti- dengue antibody by dengue IgM capture ELISA( MAC-ELISA, Pan Bio, Australia) and dengue Duo Cassette rapid strip test (Pan Bio diagnostics, Australia). Results: Out of 2405 serum samples, 720 (29.9%) were positive for IgM and IgG antibodies. Out of 720 positive samples, IgG antibodies were detected in 289/720 (40.1%), followed by IgM+ IgG antibodies 238 (33%),193/720 (26.8%) and IgM antibodies 193/720 (26.8%). Conclusion: In this study, we conclude that dengue cases are on an increase in Delhi, Haryana and adjoining region in the last five years (2007-2012). Therefore, health authorities and people of this region should make efforts to prevent further increase in dengue cases.
Glyphosate resistance trait into soybean Cuban varieties: agronomical assessment of transgenic lines until F6 generation

Glyphosate-resistant (GR) soybean was one of the first major applications of genetic engineering in field crops and offered farmers a vital tool in fighting weeds. Weeds are a problem for soybean production in Cuba, so our work aim was the GTS 40-3-2 event introgression into Cuban varieties. Two local cultivars were crossed with transgenic genotypes that carry the event. From F1 to F3 generations, individual plants that produced more than 60 g of seeds per plant were chosen to obtain next generation. Individual lines were selected from F4 generation. F5 and F6 generations of five selected transgenic lines and their relatives were chosen to evaluate seven agronomic traits throughout the summers of 2012 and 2013. A Random Block experimental design was done. First flowering (R1) and maturity (R8) stages of all genotypes were affected by planting date. Plant height of I1B23, I1B4, I36B4 and RP5 lines ranged from 80 to 111 cm. I1B2-2 and I1B2-3 lines would be suitable for mechanized harvesting because they had the insertion of the first pod at 14.63 cm and 13.93 cm respectively. I36B4 line produced the greatest number of pods per plant (127). Transgenic lines produced more than 180 seeds per plant and 100-seed weight ranged from 13.75 g to 17.46 g. Seed yield per plant of transgenic lines and their parents IncaSoy36, CEB2 and CEB4 weren’t statistically different. These results could be a start point for other studies involving larger areas, different planting dates and localities. * Corresponding Author: Celia Delgado Abad  celia.delgado@cigb.edu. cu International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2223-7054 (Print) 2225-3610 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 7, No. 4, p. 75-85, 2015 International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2223-7054 (Print) 2225-3610 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 5, No. 1, p. 14-22, 2014

Significant effect of Gender, Locality and Socio-Economic Status was not found on the development of Study habits when students learnt through Computer Assisted instruction.
Board Size and Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Kenya

Board of directors are individuals appointed to oversee the operations of the firm by shareholders. They ensure that operations of the firm are carried out in a more effective manner. Board size as part of board characteristics contributes positively to the firm’s financial performance. Due to agency problems, board size had been expanded to incorporate a variety of expertise and interest groups. However, there is no one board size fit all, the size is determined by the industry and the country of operation. Begging the need for examination of the influence of board size on return on equity of commercial banks operating in Kenya. The target population was 43 commercial banks in operation in Kenya as at 31st December 2017. Secondary data on board size as independent variable and return on equity as a dependent variable for 34 commercial banks for the years 2008 to 2017 was obtained from the internet and perusal of the annual accounts of the individual commercial banks. The study adopted causal research design. Using STATA Version 13 to analyse data, the study used2W both descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the analysis, the study concluded that overall, board size had a negative but significant influence on return on equity on commercial banks in Kenya. The study also found that board size had a positive and significant influence on return on equity across time. However, in regard to time, board size had a negative but significant variability on return on equity across time. In the case of across banks, board size had a negative but significant influence on return on equity across banks. In consideration of the individual banks, board size had a positive and significant variability on return on equity across banks. The third aspect of groupings, board size had insignificant influence on return on equity across peer. While on individual groups, board size had a positive and significant variability on return on equity across peer. The study recommended a board size of between 6 and 10 board members to embrace a mixture which caters for various interests to facilitate better financial performance.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes Experience of the Laboratory of the Military Hospital Avicenna Marrakech

MDS are clonal disorders of multipotent or myeloid stem cells. The disease is characterized by inefficient hematopoiesis responsible for peripheral cytopenias and contrasting with a rich marrow. The natural course of this disease is acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This is a retrospective study on the files of patients who had a haematological assessment at the laboratory of the military hospital Avicenna Marrakech between July 2014 and July 2018 for a duration of 4 years. Included in our study were all patients with documented myelodysplasia. The average age of patients is 63.63 years with extremes of 19 years and 89 years; the sex ratio was 1.3 (17 men and 13 women). NFS was abnormal in all patients, 96.66% of whom had anemia. The myelogram was performed in all patients and allowed the diagnosis of MDS in 90% of cases. Our study shows that management needs to be further improved by selecting high-risk MDS patients, potentially candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Effect of mineral and biofertilization of phosphorus and foliar spraying with potassium on yield, its attributes and seed quality of new sesame variety

Three field experiments were conducted during 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University at Ismailia to study the effect of mineral and biofertilization of phosphorus and foliar with potassium on yield, its attributes and seed quality of new sesame variety (Taka 2 cv.) in newly reclaimed sandy soils of Ismailia, Egypt. The experimental design was split plots with five replications. Four levels of mineral and bio phosphorus fertilizer (57, 76, 95 and 76 kg P2O5/ha plus Phosphorin biofertilizer containing phosphate dissolving bacteria) were arranged randomly in the main plots and three concentrations of potassium sulphate as foliar spraying namely water (control), 1% and 2% were distributed at random in the sub plots. Increasing phosphorus fertilizer rate up to 95 kg P2O5/ha significantly increased plant height, fruiting zone length, number of branches and capsules/plant, 1000-seed weight, seed yield/plant, seed oil content (%) and seed and oil yields/ha of sesame. Appling biofertilizer (Phosphorin) plus 76 kg P2O5/ha exceeded significantly all mineral phosphorus levels (57, 76 and 95 kg P2O5/ha) in the aforementioned characters except number of branches/plant. Increasing potassium concentration as foliar spraying up to 2% induced significant increases in all the studied characters.
