This study discussed the importance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to an economy. It examined the issues regarding financial opportunities availability and their influence on capital structure. The purpose was to find out whether financial opportunities existed in the study areas and to identify the extent to which these finances affect the MSMEs capital structure decisions. This research employed both quantitative and qualitative methods.

A case study using the WH FAEDA Flowers Farm as a producer and marketer of roses to the two markets.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of manual toothbrushes of the same type with different bristle stiffness concerning plaque removal, gingivitis development and soft tissue trauma.

Gastrinoma is also commonly called as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It accounts for about 15- 20% of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors. In These tumors There is excessive and overproduction of the hormone gastrin, leading to excessive secretion of gastric acid. The patients suffer from multiple and recurrent peptic ulcers that are in most cases resistant to medical treatment or that are in uncommon locations.

Tuberculosis of sacroilic joints is a very rare cause of low back ache radiating to the thigh and requires a high index of suspicion for its diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging   is key to early diagnosis of this condition which may prevent further complications associated with it .It is  difficult to diagnose due to the vague and non-specific presentations.

Thus, the production of SMEs has been identified as one coping strategy. This descriptive survey study’s main thrust was to determine challenges faced by Consumer Sciences (COS) graduates of UNISWA both during training, and after graduation.

Enormous sequence information is available in public databases as a result of sequencing of diverse crop genomes. It is important to use this genomic information for the identification and isolation of novel and superior alleles of seed quality. These important genes from different gene pools to suitably deploy for the development of improved seeds with better quality attribute. Allele mining is a promising approach to dissect naturally occurring allelic variation at candidate genes controlling key traits which has potential applications in seed improvement programs.

experiment was conducted to characterize Jalali pigeon phenotypically. Fifteen pairs of Jalali pigeons were reared in scavenging condition. Mean body length, wing span, shank length, bill length and head length of mature Jalali pigeon were 33.28±0.18, 64.37±0.20, 3.08±0.02, 2.04±0.01 and 3.66±0.02 cm, respectively. Mean body weight of Jalali pigeon at 3-day, 15-day, 1-month and 5-month of age were 31.68±1.08, 225.53±3.89, 275.59±1.48 and 324.79±3.41 gm, respectively.
