Gastrointestinal Helminth Parasites, Stomach Contents and Condition Factor of Bostrychus africanus (Sleeper gobies) and Periophthalmus papilio (Mudskipper) found in Ikpukulu-Ama Creek, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Ezenwaka, C.O.  , Harry, I.A.  , Amuzie, C.C.
Published: February 2024

Aim: Bostrychus africanus and Periophthalmus papilio are important fisheries in parts of southern Nigeria. However, there is a dearth of information on the gastrointestinal helminths of these gobiids, especially from the Ikpukulu-Ama Creek, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. This research was, therefore, necessary to provide information on the parasites as well as stomach content analysis and condition factor of both fish species.

Study Design: A total of 62 Bostrychus africanus and thirty-six (36) Periophthalmus papilio were caught for analysis using basket traps on the mudflats of the creek.

Place and Duration of Study: Sampling was done at the Ikpukulu-Ama Creek, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria in September, 2023.

Methodology: In the laboratory, samples were identified using morphometric characteristics and identification keys and examined for parasites using standard diagnostic techniques.

Results: Nematodes, Raphidascaroides africanus (16.1%), were examined from B. africanus, whereas   acanthocephalans, Neoechinorhynchus sp. (2.8%), were observed from P. papilio. The result of this study suggests a parasite preference of B. africanus over P. papilio. Stomach content analysis showed the presence of crab parts and muddy sediments in B. africanus. Condition factor was better in B. africanus (1.1 to 1.8) than in P. papilio (0.7 to 1.1).

Conclusion: There is a dearth of information on the stomach content of P. papilio and therefore, is suggested for future studies, and scientific reasons for the parasite preference of B. africanus over P. papilio should be elucidated.

Published: February 2024

Okra is a staple vegetable in Indian cuisine which is extensively cultivated year-round due to its rich composition of essential minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and dietary fiber. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the impact of mulching and protective structures on okra cultivation during the winter period (off-season). Consequently, okra seeds were planted in three distinct environments: a Net-cum-poly house equipped with a ridge vent, Net-cum-poly house lacking a ridge vent and an open field. These environments were combined with three different mulch conditions: silver-black plastic mulch, black plastic mulch, and no-mulch. The experiment employed a two-factor large-plot design with four replications. The findings of this study revealed the substantial influence of mulching and protective structures on off-season okra cultivation. Key agronomic parameters, including stem diameter (17.20 mm), plant height (164 cm), internode length (18 cm), the number of fruits per plant (35), fruit weight per plant  (367.31gm) and overall fruit yield (19755 kg/ha) exhibited statistically significant improvements in the combination of a Net-cum-poly house without a ridge vent and silver-black plastic mulch. In terms of water management, irrigation volumes delivered under mulched and non-mulched conditions were 387 mm and 446 mm respectively for the open field, while the corresponding figures for the protected environment were 319 mm and 366 mm. The highest water use efficiency was observed 61.97 kg/ha-mm in treatment combination with silver black plastic mulch and Net-cum-poly house without ridge vent. Notably, mulching resulted in a 13.34% reduction in water consumption compared to the non-mulched open field. In the protected environment, water savings reached 28.43% under mulch and 17.76% under no-mulch conditions relative to the non-mulched open field.

Authors: Neethu Roy D  , Uma Maheswari T  , Sridevi G  , Raghavender B
Published: February 2024

The polymorphism of color and pattern variations on the elytra and pronotum of three ladybird beetle species, Cheilomenes sexmaculata Fabricius, Hippodamia variegata Goeze, and Propylea dissecta Mulsant, from the Coccinellidae family in the Hyderabad region of Telangana, India, was investigated during 2019-2020. Through net sweeping and hand picking, adult beetles were collected and identified based on morphological characteristics. A total of four morphs of C. sexmaculata, seven of H. variegata and eight of P. dissecta were observed, indicating significant polymorphic diversity. Interestingly, these morphs were found to intermate freely, posing challenges in species identification, especially with similar-looking species like Micraspis discolor Fabricius and Chilocorus nigrita Fabricius. The abundance of distinct morphs within these populations suggests the influence of selection pressures from both continuous and discontinuous environmental variations.

Aim: To study the selected characteristics of the input dealers.

Study Design:  Ex-post facto research design.

Place and Duration of Study: The present investigation was undertaken in Junagadh district of Gujarat state.

Methodology: Junagadh district comprises of nine talukas out of which five talukas viz, Junagadh, Keshod, Mendarda, Vanthali and Maliya-hatina were randomly selected for the study. From each taluka thirty input dealers were selected randomly for the study. Thus, total 150 input dealers were selected randomly from five talukas.

Results: With regard to characteristics, approximately half (49.34%) of input dealers were in the middle age group, while nearly half (46.00%) had attained a graduation/post-graduation level of education. Around half (48.67 %) of input dealers had moderate social participation, and a majority (69.34 %) reported a high to very high annual income. Approximately 60.00%% of input dealers utilized sources of information at a moderate level, while 51.34%% had a medium level of mass media exposure. Only 16.64%% of input dealers had received training, and a majority (61.34 %%) had moderate extension contact. Additionally, 58.67 % of input dealers exhibited a moderate level of risk orientation, while 62.00%% displayed a medium level of management orientation. Approximately 75.34%% of agro-input dealers had a medium level of economic motivation, and slightly over half (58.67 %) demonstrated a medium level of progressivism.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that the majority of the respondents were from the middle age group with a graduation/post-graduation level of education. Additionally, more than half of the input dealers had medium social participation and belonged to the high to very high annual income bracket. Similarly, over half of the input dealers utilized sources of information and had mass media exposure at a moderate level. However, the data indicates that only a few input dealers received training from various institutes, while most had moderate extension contact and exhibited a medium level of risk and management orientation. Moreover, a significant proportion of agro-input dealers demonstrated a medium level of economic motivation and progressivism.

Published: February 2024

In present context, there is a demand for combination spray of insecticides and fungicides to manage both insect pests and diseases simultaneously in a crop season. However, tank mixing of incompatible combinations can reduce the effectiveness of the chemicals, cause phytotoxicity or development of insecticide resistance in pests. Hence, a laboratory experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station (UAS, Dharwad), Sankeshwar, Karnataka to study the physical, chemical and phytotoxic compatibility of selective insecticides, fungicides and water-soluble fertilizer mixtures at their recommended dose in soybean by jar compatibility method. Out of eighteen different combinations tested emamectin benzoate 5 SG (0.3 g l-1) in combination with propiconazole 25 EC (1 ml l-1) and 19:19:19 (N:P:K @ 5 g l-1), as well as lambda cyhalothrin 4.6 + chlorantraniliprole 9.3 ZC (0.4 ml l-1) in combination with propiconazole 25 EC (1 ml l-1) and 19:19:19 (5 g l-1) exhibited sedimentation levels of 1 ml l-1 which was less than the limits of 2 ml 100 ml-1 as specified in 1973 by Indian Standard Institute. The pH of agrochemicals both alone and combinations in all solutions test ranged from 6.02 to 8.39 and none of the solutions found extremely acidic nor alkaline. No phytotoxic symptoms were observed in combination treatments at 5 and 10 days after spraying. All test combinations were physically, chemically and biologically compatible hence, tank mixing of these chemicals can be recommended in soybean for managing of insect pest and diseases.

Study of The Influence of Storage Media on the Thermo-mechanical Behavior of Concrete and Cement Blocks
Authors: Kiema Benjamin , Coulibaly Ousmane , Ouedraogo Emmanuel
Published: February 2024

Once all construction materials have been formulated, it is necessary to find a suitable environment in which to store them before using them in the building. Generally speaking, in developing countries, materials are not preserved under the real conditions of temperature and humidity and are exposed to often severe climatic conditions. This has an impact on the behaviour of these materials. With this in mind, we conducted our study on concrete and cement bricks, the two materials most commonly used in building construction in Africa. The overall objective of our study is to analyse the effect of storage environments, particularly ambient conditions of temperature and hygrometry, on the thermal and mechanical properties of concrete and cement bricks in a dry tropical climate. To achieve this objective, we first analysed the quality of the materials used to formulate the concrete and cinder block samples. Next, we chose a formulation method that would enable us to obtain the optimum proportions of aggregates. Finally, the thermal and mechanical parameters were measured using the KD2-Pro device and a mechanical press, respectively. The concrete and cinder block samples were stored for 28 days and 10 days respectively in the open air under ambient climatic conditions (35°C on average),in a water tank (29°C on average) and in a climatic chamber (20°C and 53% relative humidity). Results ranged from 1.126 (± 0.003) to 1.289 (± 0.023) W.m-1. K-1 for thermal conductivity. Mechanical test results ranged from 3.93 (±0.45) to 4.13 (±0.27) MPa for flexural strength and 16.42 (±0.17) to 17.95 (±0.21) MPa for compressive strength. The lowest thermal conductivity was obtained in the climatic chamber, with a value of 1.126(±0.0032)W.m-1.K-1.The best compressive strength of concrete and the best flexural strength of cement blocks were obtained for samples stored in the climatic chamber. For the best mechanical and thermal behaviour of these two materials, we recommend a temperature not exceeding 20°C as the storage environment in a dry tropical climate.

In this study, we looked at how various pressure levels affected the plasma produced by the krypton gas blazing electric discharge. Various pressure readings between 0.6 and 1.4 Torr were employed. At 300 K in temperature a three-dimensional computer simulation based on the krypton plasma finite element approach was executed. By acquiring the plasma parameters (electron density, electric potential, and electron temperature), we were able to obtain a higher density plasma based on our findings.
Low‐temperature dynamic light scattering. I. Structural reorganization and physical gel formation in cellulose triacetate/methyl acetate dilute solution at −99 – 45°C
Authors: Tsunashima Yoshisuke , Ikuno Masaya , Onodera Gen , Horii Fumitaka
Published: February 2006

Curious low‐temperature solubility of cellulose triacetates (CTA; here we use nominally “CTA,” but the sample still contains 7% of C‐6 position hydroxyls) in an organic solvent, methyl acetate (MA), was studied by a newly designed low‐temperature type of DLS apparatus, which enabled for the first time to investigate the structural change of CTA in solution from 45°C down to −100°C. A molecularly dissolved CTA was found to coexist with three types of self‐assemblies over all the temperature ranges except for the three specific temperatures T* of 30, −10, and −75°C. However, these multiple self‐assemblies are not in real thermodynamic equilibrium but in a metastable state, which could be stabilized effectively by the intermolecular hydrogen bonding (HB) with the help of the dipole interaction at low temperatures. In more detail, with decreasing temperature, these assemblies performed the structural reorganization drastically at three T*'s and would finally be frozen in a physical gel structure at −99°C; around the freezing temperature of MA, CTA molecules could be trapped homogeneously in the frozen MA. The crucial role in such structural reorganizations is played by the balance between the intermolecular HB and the dipole interaction worked in the highly electronegative solvent. Because these interactions, which are mediated by the solvent electronegativity, change drastically with temperature, they result in the control of not only the single CTA chain conformation (= the intramolecular HB) but also the binding ways of the intermolecular HBs between CTA molecules and they induce multitudinous metastable structures in solution. Here it is noted that HB could work mainly between the C‐6 position hydroxyls in the anhydroglucose units of CTA and are essentially effective at low temperatures. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cyclodextrins micrometric powders obtained by supercritical fluid processing
Authors: Reverchon E. , Antonacci A.
Published: February 2006

Supercritical fluid technology offers the possibility to produce dry powder formulations of biocompatible materials, overcoming the drawbacks of classical micronization processes. In this work, Supercritical Assisted Atomization (SAA) has been used to micronize α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) and hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HP‐β‐CD). Some process parameters, such as precipitation temperature and solute concentration in the liquid solution, have been studied to evaluate their influence on morphology and size of precipitated particles. Cyclodextrins (CDs) micronization has been successful: well‐defined spherical microparticles of α‐CD and HP‐β‐CD have been produced. Particle size analysis revealed that sharp distributions have been obtained: 95% of particles have diameters ranging between 0.1 and 5 µm for both CDs. X‐ray and DSC analyses have been also performed to investigate CDs modifications induced by SAA processing: amorphous particles have been obtained in both cases, whereas raw α‐CD was crystalline and raw HP‐β‐CD was amorphous. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
On carcinomas and other pathological entities
Authors: Smith Barry , Kumar Anand , Ceusters Werner , Rosse Cornelius
Published: February 2006

Tumours, abscesses, cysts, scars and fractures are familiar types of what we shall call pathological continuant entities. The instances of such types exist always in or on anatomical structures, which thereby become transformed into pathological anatomical structures of corresponding types: a fractured tibia, a blistered thumb, a carcinomatous colon. In previous work on biomedical ontologies we showed how the provision of formal definitions for relations such as is_ a, part_ of and transformation_ of can facilitate the integration of such ontologies in ways which have the potential to support new kinds of automated reasoning. We here extend this approach to the treatment of pathologies, focusing especially on those pathological continuant entities which arise when organs become affected by carcinomas.

Published: February 2006

The strength of the rat as a model organism lies in its utility in pharmacology, biochemistry and physiology research. Data resulting from such studies is difficult to represent in databases and the creation of user‐friendly data mining tools has proved difficult. The Rat Genome Database has developed a comprehensive ontology‐based data structure and annotation system to integrate physiological data along with environmental and experimental factors, as well as genetic and genomic information. RGD uses multiple ontologies to integrate complex biological information from the molecular level to the whole organism, and to develop data mining and presentation tools. This approach allows RGD to indicate not only the phenotypes seen in a strain but also the specific values under each diet and atmospheric condition, as well as gender differences. Harnessing the power of ontologies in this way allows the user to gather and filter data in a customized fashion, so that a researcher can retrieve all phenotype readings for which a high hypoxia is a factor. Utilizing the same data structure for expression data, pathways and biological processes, RGD will provide a comprehensive research platform which allows users to investigate the conditions under which biological processes are altered and to elucidate the mechanisms of disease.
