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.

National Institute of Freshwater Fisheries Research, Department
of Natural Resources (Climatology)
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.

The Doctrine Of Love
(678) ?... (A New
Theory On “Incarnation (123)”)

Abstract:
“LOVE” is ACT OF GOD?...
“UNIVERSE” is made up of LOVE?... “MANY
RELIGIONS” claim that “GOD IS LOVE”… “UNO”
observes February 14 as LOVERS DAY?... ”ST.
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.

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.
