Abstract   Blends of polyethylene terphalet (PET) with polylactic acid (PLA) were investigated to study the influence of the additive of PET on (tear,  impact strength)  and (transparency , color ). The compositions were prepared in wt (20/80), (50/50), (80/20) . Mechanical properties like tear strength and Impact Izod, and optical properties like colors and transparency were also reported. Polyethylene terphaletee decrease the tear strength when additive  PET and Impact Izod strength of PLA was increased when additive PET when tested in the machine directions. Optical property such as colors was increased and the value of transparency was decreased as the loading of PET increased.

Abstract: A 5 × 5 diallel cross using five wheat varieties/lines namely Saher-2006, Imdad-2006, 6500, 9242 and 9780 was carried out to examine the genetics of yield and yield related traits. All the traits studied have shown high level of significance after analysis of variance. The graphic representation demonstrated that grain yield per plant, plant height, peduncle length and number of spikelets per spike were governed by partial dominance suggesting selection in early segregating generations for good improvement in these characters while presence of over-dominance for the traits like spike length, number of tillers per plant, number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike and 1000-grain weight made selection difficult in early generation. All the traits studied have shown absence of epistasis except number of tillers per plant, number of grains per spike and 1000-grain weight.

SUMMARY: Aflatoxins are toxic compounds that are produced by certain strains of molds, namely, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. These molds may invade stressed crops in the field or proliferate in improperly stored feed..Animals are exposed to aflatoxin by consumption of feeds that are contaminated by aflatoxin-producing fungal strains during growth, harvest or storage. Dairy cows are one of the many species of animals that may suffer both long-term and short-term adverse effects from consuming aflatoxin contaminated feed. When cows are fed contaminated feed, aflatoxin B1 is converted by hydroxylation to aflatoxin M1, which is subsequently secreted in the milk of lactating cows. Aflatoxin M1 is quite stable towards the normal milk processing methods such as pasteurization and if present in raw milk, it may persist into final products for human consumption. AFM1analysis was conducted by various methods including thin layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and enzyme-linked immunoassays; but the ELISA method is mostly used  because of its rapidity, simplicity and cheapness. Aflatoxins have been implicated in human health disorders including hepatocellular carcinoma, aflatoxicosis, Reye’s syndrome and chronic hepatitis. Most controlling government agencies worldwide have regulations regarding the amount of aflatoxins allowable in human and animal foodstuffs. Many countries have declared limits for the presence of aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk products. The European Community and Codex Alimentarius Commission prescribed that the maximum level of aflatoxin M1 in milk and milk products should not exceed 50 ng/kg.Application of Good Agricultural Practices and Good Veterinary Practices by agriculture and also the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system as a draft code of practice for pre harvest and post-harvest control of dairy cow’s feed. In milk and dairy products processing is effective.

Abstract: The study was carried out by artificially polluting an agricultural soil in Calabar with varying concentrations (0ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml and 2000ml) of rubber effluent, in which 0ml served as a control, with the aim of assessing their effect on soil microflora and fertility .The polluted soil was analysed in terms of the following parameters; microbial population, soil PH organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, effective cation exchange capacity, exchangeable acidity and  base saturation. In the polluted soils, the total heterotrophic bacteria, total heterotrophic fungi and total heterotrophic actinomycetes increased significantly (p<0.05) with a decrease in the concentration of pollutants. The total heterotrophic bacteria and total heterotrophic actinomycetes showed significant reduction with an increase in the length of pollution while total heterotrophic fungi did not show difference (p>0.05) over the duration of pollution. Microorganisms isolated from the polluted soil were Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Micrococcus sp. Flavobacterium sp., Mucor sp., Fusarium sp., Penicillum sp., Aspergillus sp., Rhizopus sp., and Streptomyces sp. In the polluted soil, pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, potassium, available phosphorus, magnesium and sodium, showed significant differences (p<0.05) in their values with the control, while calcium , electrical conductivity, base saturation, effective cation exchange capacity, and exchangeable acidity did not show significant difference (p>0.05) with that of the control. The results of this study revealed that light application rubber effluent could enhance microbial proliferation and thus, increases soil fertility, while a heavy application inhibits the same.

Abstract: This study was done to evaluate the possible protective effects of royal jelly and ginger on cyclophosphamide -induced testicular damage in adult male albino rats. Twenty adult male albino rats of an average body weight (250-300 g.) were randomly divided into two groups. One group (five rats) was served as the control group (group1) and other group 2 (fifteen rats) was served as treated group, which was subdivided into 3 equal subgroups (a, b and c). Subgroup (a): consisted of five rats that were treated with cyclophosphamide. Subgroup (b): consisted of five rats that were given royal jelly orally and cyclophosphamide. Subgroup (c): consisted of five rats that were given ginger and cyclophosphamide. The testes were excised and histologicaly prepared for a light and an electron microscopic examination. Light microscopic examination of cyclophosphamide treated adult male albino rat showed that the seminiferous tubules were markedly distorted. Most of the tubules showed many vacuoles. The lumina of the seminiferous tubules were devoid of spermatozoa. There was an increase in the amount of interstitial areas that contained some thick walled congested blood vessels. By electron microscopic examination there were marked affection of the cytoplasm of the germinal epithelial cells in the form of degenerated mitochondria, multiple lipid droplets and many empty spaces. Sertoli cells were rested on an irregular thickened basement membrane and its nucleus had an irregular nuclear membrane without nucleolus.   Royal jelly had a potent protective effect against the testicular toxicity of the cyclophosphamide and showed a notable effect compared to the effect of ginger.

Abstract. The article examines the issues of changes in the amount of water flowing from the Amu Darya to its lower part under the influence of large hydraulic structures built on the river. For this purpose, multi-year fluctuations of the river flow were analyzed based on the data of the Tuyamuyun hydrological station. Analyzes were performed for three accounting periods. It is shown that in the first accounting period (1930-1955), the amount of water flowing into the Lower Amudarya was stable, and in the second (1956-1990) and third (1991-1920) accounting periods, it gradually decreased.
