Experimental determination of the behavior of black cotton soil using different admixtures

Improving the engineering property of soils by the addition of admixtures is called the soil stabilization. Stabilization was carried by different methods. In the present study different admixtures were used with black cotton soil with varying percentages and carried out the proctor test. Here black cotton soil was mixed with 10%, 20% and 30% of admixtures such as cement, FA, GGBFS, SF Metakaolin and RHA. Proctor test was carried out to find the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.

Influence of different proportions of organic manures on growth and yield of okra (abelmoschus esculentus L.)

A field experiment was conducted at research and demonstration block of Research Institute on Organic Farming, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru during 2016 and 2017 to study the effect of different proportions of organic manures viz., compost, vermicompost and poultry manure on growth and yield of okra. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Completely Block Design. There were twelve treatments consisted with different proportions of organic manures and these were replicated thrice.

Microscopic study on some of the parasites that affect rock pigeon (columba livia gmelin, 1789) (aves: columbidae) in Qena, Egypt

The study was conducted to identify some different helminth parasites infecting Rock pigeons in Qena province. The gastro-intestinal tracts of 32 specimens of pigeon (Columba livia) were dissected parasitologically for detect helminthes infection. Of these, 11 (34.3%) were infected by 3 species of helminths, comprising 2 species of cestodes and one species of common nematodes Ascaridia columbae 8 (25%), The infection with cestode species was 5(15%) in the two families Dilepididae Dilepis undula Schrank,1788; and Anoplocephalidae Atriotaenia minuta n. spp.

Differential response of rice to organics and mineral nitrogen on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield in an ustifluvents soil

Introduction: Field experiments were conducted for two years in sandy clay loam soil to study the effect of organic sources and mineral nitrogen on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of rice. The treatments consisted of addition of different organics viz., composted coir pith (CCP), green manures (GM), sugarcane trash compost (STC), vermicompost (VC), poultry manure (PM) and FYM applied at 100% RDN and combination of above organics @50% N and urea@50%N besides 100% RDN as urea and control.

Effects of instructional strategies on high school students in mathematics: West-Gojam zone, Ethiopia

This study was designed to examine the possible effects of instructional strategies on mathematical discourse. The effectiveness, retention, application and the usefulness of teacher-centered instruction were in question. To obtain data, questionnaire, classroom observation, and semi-structured interviews were used. A total of one hundred fifty-six teachers and five hundred sixteen students from the entire sample schools were selected using simple random sampling technique for the questionnaire and classroom observation. Twenty teachers and thirty-five students were interviewed.

Nutritional habits, comorbidities, quality of life and acceptance to hemodialysis treatment

Objective: To analyze the perception of patients with Chronic Renal Disease related to hemodialytic treatment. Method: This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study developed with nine patients on hemodialysis treatment followed in a renal clinic. The data collection took place in March and April of 2017 through a characterization questionnaire and focused interview. The data were submitted to thematic analysis. Results: There were three categories: the sodium and Chronic Renal Disease; Diabetes Mellitus in chronic renal patients and patient acceptance of hemodialysis.

Morphological changes of extensor digitorum longus muscle in the offspring of obese rats

Objective: To evaluate the morphology and morphometry of muscle fibers and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) in the offspring of obese ratsinduced by a cafeteria diet. Methods: Three-week-old female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: a control (CTL) group that received a standard diet and an obese (OB) group that received a cafeteria diet. The animals were mated at 23 weeks of age. After birth, only males were used for the experiment.

Comparartive study of physical and index properties of clay- sand liners

Liners are constructed from naturally occurring earthen material. Soil Liners are needed to prevent the penetration of landfill leachate in to the soil. One of the requirements of modern sanitary landfill is that a soil liner be placed on the top of the existing soil, since it will minimize or eliminate water percolation. Of the different liner materials presently in use, the local availability of suitable clayey soils in many regions makes use of the soil liner as an economically attractive design alternative.

The Kenya national police service burnout intervention strategies

The purpose of the paper is to determine the burnout intervention strategies among Police officers in Matungulu Sub County, Kenya. The target population for the study was the police officers (N=250) stationed in various stations within Matungulu Sub- County. Out of the total population of 250, 100 (40%) police officers were from Kenya Police Service (KPS), 125 (50%) police officers from Administration Police Service (APS) and 25 (10%) police officers from Directorate of Criminal Investigation Department (DCI).
