The term biomass describes all organic matter that, when burned, decomposed or recycled, can directly and/or indirectly generate some form of mechanical, thermal or electrical energy. Brazil is one of the largest producers of agricultural products in the world, making it also one of the largest producers of residual biomass. Due to its importance in the cashew crop, there is a concern to find alternatives for an environmentally safe disposal for the residual biomass of the cashew nut processing, cashew nut shell (CNS).

The aim of the study was to evaluate the sensory acceptability of cereal bars with the addition of several levels of genipapo flour (GF) among children. Additionally, we wanted to determine the physicochemical composition of the control product and of the one with a higher GF level, and which formulation would have an acceptability level similar to the control product. Five cereal bars formulations were developed with the addition of different levels of GF: F1 (0%), F2 (1%), F3 (2%), F4 (3%) and F5 (4%).

Water is an essential part of our everyday life, yet for most of us especially those living in urban areas, we probably do not think about water very often. We have come to expect that water will be there when we turn on our faucet. Only if we turn on our tap and nothing comes out, or if the water tastes bad or smells strange, or if we find our home flooded by a nearby creek during a heavy rain, do we give much thought to water. Our relative lack of attention to water is rapidly becoming a luxury that we in Texas cannot afford.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has featured as a priority on the European Economic Community (EEC), now the European Union (EU), agenda ever since its founding by the Treaty of Rome in 1957.

Paradigm and analysis of the security paradigm change in regard to the recognition of hyper-connected society characteristics of information technology development. As a result, in hyper-connected society each part constitutes one device, and the combination of each device constitutes one individual, equipment, or infrastructure, and the network to which they are connected consists of a country, and such countries have a connection structure that forms a global network .

In the present investigations was designed to explore the survival ability of benomyl resistant Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.capsici causing chilli wilt (Capsicum annum) in mixed population. On the untreated chilli plants, resistant population in the mixture was reduced from passage to passage. But on the benomyl treated chilli plants, resistant population was increased from passage to passage.

The water quality of rivers and water bodies are not as per the norms and the main reason for this, is poor sewage, domestic waste and industrial effluents in the city. Physico-Chemical and Biological characteristics of the water of river Ramganga were studied and tested by collecting five different samples from five different sites in winter season and to observe the change in the quality of water in winter season by discharged through untreated sewage, domestic waste and industrial wastes etc. which increases the water pollution in river.

The fish haematology is a vital source to know the health status of the fish. Now until much literature on several sides of haematopatho physio-biology is achievable on most of the vital freshwater fishes in India. The goal of this study to calibrate haematological study of Clarius batrachus. In this perusal, the calculated values were compared between male and female Clarias batrachus as well as a comparison between winter, summer and rainy seasons.

This research work is non-experimental quantitative, cross-sectional description aims to determine the prevalence of mobbing in the nursing staff of a private health institution of the City of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. As well as determine the main aggressor agent of mobbing. The sample is composed of 44 nurses obtained under a non-probabilistic design for convenience, who agreed to participate in the application of the 60-item Heinz Leymann (mobbing) questionnaire. Respecting the code of ethics, under informed consent. Analyzing the results with the statistical program SPSS version 22.

A cross-sectional study of the descriptive type carried out in a Long Stay Institution for the Elderly located in the south of. Aiming to evaluate the nutritional status of institutionalized elderly and to correlate the anthropometric variables with the Mini Nutritional Assessment. The mean age of the sample was 79.5 years, with a predominance of females, with more than 1 year of institutionalization and singles. Greater values of Body Mass Index, arm girth, triceps skin fold thickness, and waist circumference were found among men and women in the younger age group.
