Livelihood outcomes among sugarcane outgrowers are substantially determined by their participation in contract farming. However, there is a debate among authors on whether there is a correlation between farmers’ household characteristics and their livelihood outcomes or not. Responding to the debate; this paper measured the correlation between livelihood outcomes attained by farmers and their household characteristics. The paper employed a cross-sectional study design and 300 sugarcane outgrowers were interviewed.

Contract farming (CF) has much potential for improving household livelihood outcomes among sugarcane outgrowers for sugarcane outgrowers. However, studies debate on whether sugarcane outgrowers gain abilities (livelihood outcomes) or not from contract farming relations. As a response to the debates, this paper determines the levels of livelihood outcomes among smallholder sugarcane outgrowers in the study area, and specifically sought to measure levels of livelihood outcomes available among sugarcane smallholder farmers.

Antheraea mylitta D wild tasar silkworm is not food specific like mulberry silkworm but it preferred three primary food plant like T. tomentosa (Asaan), T.arjuna (Arjun) & Shorea robusta (Sal). Other than these food plants Tasar Cocoons has been found in Lagerstroemia parviflora trees (Sidha) in Similipal Biospheres. Experiments has been taken to ascertain economic of crop performance in said plant compare to primary Asan Plants.

One of the most popular concepts in the context of language teaching is motivation. In Uganda, the teaching of Ateso as a subject in secondary school curriculum is a relatively new concept, spanning from 2013.Accordingly, this study was carried out between 2014-2015 to establish Iteso students’ attitude and motivation towards learning mother tongue in Kumi district (Uganda). It had been realised that Ateso was not widely taught as it should have been; only eight schools out of 76 had embraced the teaching of Ateso.

This study evaluated the post-supply drinking-water quality in eight rural communities in department of Tiassalé, Côte d’Ivoire, using either a protected hand-dug wells or boreholes supply. Water management practices were documented as a basis for further research to improve household drinking-water quality. The methods used were administration of a questionnaire, observation and by assessing the stored drinking water quality and the water quality of supply point. Escherichia coli were used as the indicator of potential health risks.

In engineering field,in order to detect the abnormal change of data series in a multidimensional and non-stationary process, an anomaly detection algorithm based on Q-filtering is proposed. Firstly, the Q-filtering algorithm is used to process the multidimensional and non-stationary data series. At the same time, the outlier-tolerant covariance matrix is estimated. Finally, the detection index is used to detect abnormal changes. The algorithm is verified by simulation data and the results show that the algorithm is proved to be have high accuracy and validity.

Introduction: In the world, it has grown increasingly researched for dental professionals, 20.0% of dentists located in Brazil. According to the Federal Council of Dentistry, the specialties most searches today, were 70.0% in the rehabilitation of the smile and aesthetic.
