Abstract: Urinary traction infection frequently occurs in the obstructed kidney. The ureters are the long narrow tubes in animals that carry urine from each kidney to the bladder. For human, the ureters are approximately 30 centimeters long. It exits the kidney at the hilum, comes into close contact with common iliac arteries from the aorta. The ureters pass on the lateral abdominal wall and then enters the pelvis where it joins the urinary bladder, passing a short distance into it. Obstructive nephropathy is a serious problem for many patients in the chronic kidney disease. The kidney function declined in obstructive nephropathy is associated with structural derangements, which is reparative in an attempt to overcome the kidney injury caused by the obstruction of urine flow. With sustained obstruction, a permanent loss of renal function may occur. In this problem, renal fibrosis becomes a reactive process. Partial ureteral obstruction (PUO) and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) produce well documented triphasic responses in the renal hemodynamics and renal damage. This is characterized by an early increase in renal blood flow, followed by a decrease toward baseline, and later progressive profound renal ischemia. A lot studies have been performed in rodent models of unilateral urinary tract obstruction.

Abstract: This study evaluates the resultant effect of weather and climate change on tourist inflow and hotel services using a case study of Lagos-Island. Tourists are sensitive to weather and climate changes which can impact on their decision to travel. Data for this study were collected from primary sources, through personal observation and the stratified random administration of two hundred (200) copies of questionnaires on categories of respondents in Lagos Island. Data where analysed using chi-square statistical method. Result from the study showed that there is higher patronage of visitors and tourist to the hotel during dry season, than wet season. This study recommends that as the hospitality services in Lagos-Island improve, there is need to understand the weather and climate of the area to better improve their services and also to destination choice of the tourist. Thus all tourism and hospitality service planners have a critical role to play in terms of proper management of the tourist destination facilities and services to aid overall quality.

Abstract: Effects of climate change on growth and yield of cowpea were investigated in this study using three varieties of cowpea IT960-610, AGRIBVI and IT98K205-8 during the late and early rains of the years 2009 and 2010 respectively. Three planting dates at two weeks interval between July 8 and August 15 2009 for late rain planting and April 7 and May 5, 2010 for early rain planting were followed. At the vegetative stage, cowpea planted during early rains had more leaves and higher plant height than those planted during the late rains. The yield characteristics of cowpea planted during the late season were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher than those planted during the early rains. It was generally observed that the yield characteristics decreased with delayed planting during the two seasons. The relatively lower yield observed during the early rains could be attributed to higher rainfall received during flowering stage, which led to absorption of flowers. The timing of planting cowpea in the study area should be done such that flowering stage and pod filling stage do not coincide with the period of high rainfall.

VALENTINE BISHOP” refers Human Heart as “SYMBOL OF LOVE”… “SCHOLARS” distinguish Human Love from DIVINE LOVE?...This scientific research article focus that “LOVE” shall be considered like pre-existence “Supernature” (or) Mega Star which consider created all matters of Universe including “Human Ancestor”. This research further focus that Human Ancestors shall be considered lived in WHITE PLANET (white mars) in the early universe (5,00,000 years ago). The Human Ancestors shall be considered belong to ANGEL FAMILY with distinguished genetic characteristic compared to so called modern human. Further the origin of Angel populations shall be considered of “INCARNATION” rather than “CREATION” (or) “EVOLUTION”.  It is further focused that during “DARK AGE” of universe the Angel populations shall be considered descended to EARTH  PLANET  and started living on earth planet (say 3,00,000 years ago) and adopted to Earth environment and further “EVOLVED” into different races and diversed all over Earth with variant genetic traits for sustainability of life in three nuclear age. This research focus that the populations of Earth planet shall be considered belong to family of “REBORN” populations deriving original genetic Traits from the “Incarnated populations” of the white planet (White mars).[M.Arulmani, B.E.; V.R.Hema Latha, M.A., M.Sc., M.Phil.

Abstract: A series of experiments were conducted on scour depth around a L-shape spur dike with model L-shape spur dike was measured in a laboratory flume with 180 degree bend under clear-water. L-shape spur dike models were angled for different locations and lengths of L-shape spur dikes at the bend with various Froude number. The main goals of the experiments were to evaluate the effect of the four length on the depth of scour and potential aquatic habitat and on minimizing erosion adjacent to the streambanks. The experiments showed that of the four length tested, the least local scour the near bank region was associated with the L-shape spur dikes with 30 degree angles, while the greatest depth of the scour hole was associated with the 75 degree spur dike. By increasing the length of the spur dike, the maximum depth of scour increases. With increasing Froude number the maximum scour depth increases. Measuring depth of scouring based on experimental observation, an empirical relation is developed with high regression coefficient 95%.

Abstract: Analytical solutions play a very important role in nonlinear boundry value problem. In this paper, He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been applied to solve a nonlinear fifth-order boundary value problem. The concept of He's homotopy perturbation method are introduced briefly for applying this method for solving problem. The results of HPM as analytical solution are then compared with those derived from the exact solution in order to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. Just one iteration results in highly accurate solution. The results reveal that the HPM is very effective and convenient in predicting the solution of such problems, and it is predicted that HPM can have a found wide application in new engineering problems.

Abstract: Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del., commonly known as hingota or desert date is an evergreen xerophyte. This plant can survive in a wide range of climatic conditions. It can withstand high temperature, high light intensity, high wind velocity and severe drought. The fruits and roots of this plant contain diosgenin, which can be used in pharmaceutical industry in production of oral contraceptive and steroids. The seeds of this plant contain 30-60% oil, which is edible and used as cooking oil. The seed oil can also be used as biofuel as combustion energy of oil is comparable to that of diesel. Fruits are also being used in detergent industry. This plant also has been reported to have Bristol and larvicidal activity against some mosquitoes. The stem of the tree contains steroidal saponins, which have been shown to have an insect anti-feedant and molluscicidal properties. Beside this the leaves of this plant is a one of the favorite fodder among goats, so it can play an important role of fodder tree in the desert in severe drought. This plant can be listed among the plants, which are used as famine foods. The yield of this marvelous tree is about 125 Kg/tree/annum. So looking at the importance and nature of the plant, this plant species must be promoted as planting material in combating desertification programme and in stabilization of sand dunes. This plant can play significant role especially against soil erosion as it produces root sucker in nearby area, the clump of the root sucker can hold the soil for a long.

Abstract: In this paper, a simplifying approach for calculating the radiant energy is achieved using the concept of net radiation heat transfer and provides an easy way for solving a variety of situations. This method has been applied to calculate the net radiation heat transfer between two concentric hemispheres. Then this method used to calculate reduction heat transfer when radiation shields with temperature-dependent emissivity applied between these objects. Moreover, using this method the percentage reduction in heat transfer between two surfaces was calculated. The findings reveal that, one radiation shield with lower emissivity can reduce the net heat transfer even better than two radiation shields with higher emissivity.

Abstract: The sheet metal bending is an important form of sheet metal forming process, widely used in various industrial applications. Furthermore, the spring back of sheet metal, which is defined as elastic recovery of the part during unloading, should be taken into consideration so as to produce bent sheet metal parts within acceptable tolerance limits. Spring back is affected by the factors such as sheet thickness, specimen orientation and depth of die. This study predicts and minimizes the responses of the sheet metal bending process using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm. Artificial neural network is getting wide popularity in recent years due to their ease, quickness and economy.

Abstract: A total 106 seropositive samples from sheep, cattle and goats were collected from May 2009 to May 2010. Species of Brucella were isolated from, 9 (28.13%) of 32 in cattle, 30 (40.5%) of 74 in sheep and goats, from lymph nodes and spleen tissues. the south province of Egypt. The species examined by biochemical characteristics and had identical reactions with the standard strain. Oxidative metabolic tests performed, by substrate specific tetrazolium reduction (SSTR) test on the species, confirmed them as B. melitensis. Based on the biochemical, oxidative metabolic, and biotyping tests (CO2 requirement, H2S production, growth in the presence of thionin and basic fuchsin dyes, and agglutination test with monospecific A and M anti-sera) the strains were determined as B. melitensis biotype 3.
