In present study, the in-vitro antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of leaves and flowers of Ipomoea cairica were determined by spectrophotometric method. Antioxidant activities of extract were expressed as percentage of DPPH radicals inhibition. The methanolic extract of Ipomoea cairica leaves showed maximum antioxidant activity of 83.52% and methanolic extract of Ipomoea cairica flowers showed maximum antioxidant activity 81.85 % at 500 μg/ml concentrations. This study reveals that leaves and flowers of I. cairica can be used as natural sources of antioxidants.

The purpose of the study is to measure the parental satisfaction on vocational rehabilitation services for adults’ with intellectual disability. A survey was carried out on a sample of 60 parents’ (42 mothers’ and 18 fathers’) of adults’ with mild, moderate and severe intellectual disability, between the age ranges of 18 to 40 years. The sample was drawn from residential and non- residential Vocational rehabilitation centers situated in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

The study aims to describe the differences in quality, yield and composition of ω-3 fatty acids in fish oil, and quality microencapsule as functional materials on brownies. The research was conducted in three stages, namely extraction, testing the quality, yield and composition of ω-3 fatty acids and proximate of brownies. Analysis of quality concist of the composition of ω-3 fatty acids, yield, peroxide, anisidin, and total oxidation. Proximate data were analyzed with ANOVA and continued with HSD  at level α of 5%. The results showed that yield of the method BD is 4.05% and SP is 3.70%.

Objectives: International food safety standards having a great interest in public health and setting legislative Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) of the host country with respect to applied agrochemicals. India is the leading country known for its highest tonnage per hector grape yield due to the favorable microclimatic conditions. Present investigation aimed to determine pesticidal residues in International and Indian wine samples using various sophisticated biophysical instrumentation.

The study was cross sectional with the aim of assessing the quality of water from non piped sources based on community views at Miyuji ward in Dodoma municipality. The study findings revealed that according to community-based water quality, water in the study area from non-piped sources has high salinity/ hardness, containing colour and smell. It is also rated by majority of dwellers that the quality is very poor. Number of water related diseases incidences and frequencies were also assessed.

This study was conducted to assess the diversity and relative abundance of bird species in Sheko district, Bench Maji Zone, southwest Ethiopia. The study covered thee habitat types: forest, human settlement and farmland. Sampling sites were assigned based on the area cover of the habitat types. Point count method in the forest and line transects method in human settlement and farmlands were used to collect data. A total of 118 avian species belonging to 41 families and 13 orders were identified throughout the study period.

Purpose:
The purpose of this article is to propose a model designed to achieve successful Quality and Supply Chain Integration.
Design/methodology/approach:
The research design, guided by a Qualitative philosophy, was inductive in nature. Based on extensive literature review methodology on existing body of knowledge regarding Quality management and Supply chain management, the researcher deduced four main critical points to achieve quality supply chain integration.
Findings:

The relationship between diabetes and cancer development is not clear. But the risk to develop cancer is increased if the person is diabetic. In the present study we induced type 1 and type 2 diabetes in rats by streptozotocin and high fat diet, respectively. Many cell growth and apoptosis related antigens were studied including tumour suppressor antigen; P53, anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2, pro-apoptotic protein bax, cyp1a2 and cyp2e1 and caspase 3.

The electronic resources in AHU library is formulating more than 60% of the library collections. This study aims at Identify electronic resources and services in AHU library presented to students and Specifying problems and obstacles which imitating the use of these resources. The study used the descriptive research method through describing the reality of electronic services and electronic information sources presented by AHU library.

Citric acid is widely used as a flavouring agent in a long list of preparations. It is one of the few organic acids found in limes and lemons in particularly high concentrations. It can be produced by biotechnological fermentation with the help of fungal species like Aspergillus niger. There have been various attempts to produce citric acid efficiently from inexpensive raw materials. This review is an attempt to describe the various organisms and substrates utilized for the production of citric acid over a period of past 10 years.
