This paper aims to compare the motor development of Indian and Iranian boy′s student between the age of 13 and 18 years in speed case. The focus is on the relationship between age and motor behavior which makes the study of motor development unique from other viewpoints. Motor development includes age related changes in both posture and movement, the two basic ingredient of motor behavior. The results portrayed by means of statistical tests and standard method of sampling.

Present study was conducted for a period of 156 days (February - July, 2010) in three earthen ponds of each 10000m2 area in different salinities. P. monodon seeds were stocked at a density of 15 nos /m2 in all the ponds. The water quality parameters such as temperature, salinity, hydrogen ion concentration (pH), dissolved oxygen and alkalinity were monitored. The alkalinity at pond I,II and III showed a significantly value (60-130ppm,180 to 230ppm and 220-260ppm) at 86 DOC. The Pond II showed higher survival rate than that of pond I and III.

The antiproliferative effect of the lipid lowering agent, simvastatin, has recently grabbed the attention of the pharmaceutical industries. The apoptotic effect of simvastatin, encapsulated in a microemulsion formula composed of Cremophor EL, Transcutol, Captex 355 and water, was assessed in the A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Cadmium is a nonessential trace element with no biological function. It accumulates rapidly by most living organisms and exerts its toxicity at different molecular levels. The present study was undertaken to study the tissue accumulation of cadmium and changes in oxidative stress indices due to this ubiquitous environmental pollutant following experimental daily oral administration and to examine the ameliorative property of thiamine, methionine and garlic extract on cadmium-induced oxidative damage.

An experiment was conducted in the Department of Poultry Science, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University to evaluate the effect of various sanitizing agents on the microbial and duckling qualities of hatching eggs of Kuttand duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) eggs. A total of 2400 hatching eggs over a period of six weeks was collected for the study. Each treatment consisted of 600 eggs with 100 eggs per replicate.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L. syn. S. orientale Linn.) genotypes TTVS 51 and TTVS 19 was exposed to variable doses of gamma rays to study their consequence on several characters like plant height, number of branches, days to 50% flowering, Number of capsule per plant, thousand seed weight and single plant yield. In M1 generation the results disclosed that there was more reduction at higher doses compared to lower doses for all the characters.

A model which describes the interaction of one predator with two prey species is considered. Due to large size, prey species have the ability of group defense. Therefore, the predator will be attracting toward that habitats where prey are less in number due to change in seasonal conditions. The stability analysis is carried out for a critical point of the system where all species co-exist. Using rate of conversion of the prey to predator as bifurcation parameter, conditions for a Hopf bifurcation to occur are derived.

A study was taken up with the main objective of identifying and analyzing the adoption of package of practices by the Bt cotton farmers as recommended by the scientists of ANGRAU. It was conducted in 2013 with a sample of Fifty (50) farmers in the Ranga Reddy district of Andhra Pradesh. Cent per cent of the respondents fell in the category of fully adopted with respect to seed treatment. 96.00 per cent of the respondents fully adopted recommended time of sowing, pest management practices & time of harvest; while the remaining 4.00 per cent fell in the category of partially adopted.

This commentary attempts to analyze the status of the two contradictory security issues of regime verse human security in the Horn of Africa. In this sub region, regime security is about the survival of the ruling elite and keeping of power in the hands of a specific clique of people and their cronies. Human security is about the welfare of the individuals rather than the defense of ruling elites.
