Currently, about 40 species of amphibians is reported from Bhutan (Wangyel, 2013), but the study determining its species diversity and the habitat use. This paper presents the state-of-the-knowledge on the species richness and distribution pattern of the amphibians of Bhutan. However, the study about amphibian is scanty in the country. Only 40 species of amphibians are so far reported from Bhutan of which of which 38 species are anurans, one caecilian and a Salamander.

This paper aims to compare the motor development of Indian and Iranian boy′s student between the age of 13 and 18 years in explosive leg power 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.

Environmental Monitoring program (EMP) is one of important means used in safety assessment studies for place planed to construct new storage facility for solid conditioned short lived low-Intermediate short level radioactive waste on it .The (EMP) includes radiological measurements of environmental samples such as ( soil , water ,plants and air dust) selected from the storage facility area and surrounding zones reach reached to (4) Km distance from the store location where public villages are occupied .The results show background levels of radiation exposure and others are below the risk im

This research aims to examine the decision-making process and implementation of local content subject learning material sat Madrasah Aliyah Mataram (the State Islamic Senior High School).

The objective of this study is to develop and analyze the sensorial acceptability of cereal bars using bacuri pulp targeting the sports public. Formulations using different concentrations of bacuri flour were prepared: F1 (0%), F2 (10%) and F3 (20%). The formulations were submitted to microbiological analysis, centesimal composition and vitamin C. In the sensorial analysis, the attributes were evaluated with 107 athletes from Campo Grande - MS. Statistical analyses using the SPSS software were performed, considering p<0.05.

The purpose hereof was to systematically evaluate the organic food intake effects in human health through controlled clinical studies.

Ice creams are globally accepted because of their palatability. However, the number of lactose intolerants is increasing. Therefore, the demand for products in this segment also increases. Guavira is a native fruit from Brazilian Cerrado rich in antioxidants and with potential for inclusion in various food products. Thus, the aim of this study was to elaborate guavira-frozen yogurt lactose-free, expanding products for individuals with lactose intolerance. The product was developed through a factorial design, centesimal composition, and microbiological and sensorial analysis.

The present investigations were carried out to understand the phytochemical screening, antioxidant, anti inflammatory and biochemical properties of Aloe ferox leaf extract by using various organic solvents. The powdered leaf material was subjected to extraction of phytochemicals by soxhlet method with chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol. The phytochemical result shows that the active compounds presence in high concentration, such as phytosterols, lactones, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins and glycosides.
