Abstract: Ruminant
animals and rumen microbiota are in a constant symbiotic
relationship that enhances fiber degradation and digestion. In
developed countries, ruminant animals are now being placed on an
abundance of grain with little fiber. When fed fiber-deficient
rations, the physiological and biological mechanisms are
disrupted, ruminal pH declines, microbial ecology is altered,
and the animal is prone to metabolic and nutritional disorders
and, in some cases, infectious diseases. In order to manage this
condition, certain processes must be either inhibited or
promoted in a bid to manipulate the ruminal biological and
physiological mechanisms for improved productivity and
performance. This review therefore provides insight into some
specific additives that can be used to successfully manipulate
ruminal processes. Specifically, it should also provide some
guidance as to the effects of using of saponins, ionophores and
organic acids in ruminant nutrition.

Abstract:
Lawrence brought out Lady
Chatterley’s Lover in a private edition in July 1928. Though
it was a novel that he felt “the world would call very
improper,”1 he was certainly not just out to shock
the sensibilities, to drop “a little bomb in the world’s
crinoline of hypocrisy.”2 A man of strong
convictions, Lawrence knew the tremendous worth of his work not
only for his day, but for the times to come: “And in spite of
all antagonism, I put forth this novel as an honest, healthy
book, necessary for us today.”3 The “turbulent
consequences”4 his novel as well as the paintings
were soon to have are all part of critical history. A book
“famously, even notoriously” about sex,5 Lady
Chatterley’s Lover came under attack in particular for the
use of taboo words, for its cult of phallic dominance, the
impractical nature of its social doctrine, and its ignoring the
dynamics of class consciousness and history. While F.R. Leavis
speaks of “the offences against taste entailed in the hygienic
enterprise,”6 Keith Sagar charges the novel with
obsessive sexuality: “Copulation looms out of all proportion to
other activities in a fully human relationship.”7 The
language of obscenity has been seen as being put to use
“deliberately and self-consciously.”8 It is a
sentiment which is voiced again by Alastair Niven: “the tone of
affectionate banter between Mellors and Connie cannot overcome
the sense of self-conscious daring in the choice of words.”9
Millett reads the central thrust of the novel as the
establishment of masculine dominance in the famous lines thus: “Lady
Chatterley’s Lover is a quasi-religious tract recounting the
salvation of one modern woman… through the offices of the
author’s personal cult, ‘the mystery of the phallus.’”10
The practicability of Lawrence’s doctrine has also been
questioned: “The extending of consciousness, the getting into
touch with one another, are things impossible in the created
world of the book”11; and: “Yet in the sphere of
labour, it is far from clear how these transformations can
possibly be brought about.”12 The novel has been
accused of denying class consciousness and the historical
truths: “Such a denial of history is the necessary precondition
for the relationship between Connie and Mellors.”13
Nevertheless, though some of the limitations are fairly obvious,
it needs to be acknowledged and emphasized that the book’s
central concern, as always in Lawrence, is with the question how
to live fully, wholly, with the greatest measure of
satisfaction. The dimension of physical love has also been
described in recent philosophical and psychological theories in
terms of phallic consciousness.

Abstract:
The resulted complexes produced
between Fe (III) and biological molecules like amino acids play
an important role in human life. Fe (III) complexes are
synthesized with l-Leucine and l-Methionine. The complexes were
characterized by elemental analysis (AAS), molar conductance,
melting point, infrared and UV-visible spectrophotometry
analyses. The elemental analyses were used to determine the
chelation ratio, 1:3(metal: ligands). The molar conductivity of
the complexes show that the complexes are not electrolytic in
nature. Moreover, the melting point of the tris (l-Leucine) iron
(III) and tris (l-Methionine) iron (III) are 2390C
and 210oC respectively.

Abstract:
Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by apicomplexan
protozoa of the genus
Eimeria,
and today it may be difficult to appreciate the devastating
effects that these parasites once had on poultry flocks. Indeed,
without adequate means of control, both by chemotherapy and
vaccination. The main problem with Eimeria
infections is that they are caused by more than one species that
attack different regions of the intestine. The use of several
drugs, alone or in combination, has proven to be an effective
alternative in the struggle against avian coccidiosis. However,
the emergence of drug resistant strains, especially after a
prolonged use of a drug, is a real problem. Thus, vaccines are
the only preventative methods. Due to this, new alternatives
have emerged, most of which are natural compounds extracted from
plants or produced by microorganisms. Some of these compounds
are antioxidants that damage the parasite, thus preventing the
infection. Others, such as essential oils, disrupt the structure
of oocysts preventing the dispersion of the parasite. From this
perspective, Eimeria
parasites should be controlled by several ways, implying the use
of a toolkit yet to be available Many of these natural compounds
are used as diet supplements with varying effects that include
immune stimulation, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
activities, and cytoplasmic damage.

Abstract:
The problem of locating roots of
nonlinear equations (or zeros of functions) occurs frequently in
scientific work. In this paper, we have introduced some
techniques for solving nonlinear equations. The techniques were
based on the central-difference and forward-difference
approximations to derivatives. We have shown that that three of
the four methods have cubic convergence and another method has
quadratic convergence. The introduced methods can be used for
solving nonlinear equations without computing derivatives.
Meanwhile, the methods introduced in this paper can be used to
more class of nonlinear equations. The numerical examples shown
in this paper illustrated the efficiency of the new methods. We
used the well known software MATLAB 7 to calculate the numerical
results obtained from the proposed techniques.

Abstract:
Investigations were
conducted on gill parasites of the silver catfish (Chrysichthys
nigrodigitatus) from the Cross River Estuary, Nigeria
between April and June, 2018. Results revealed the infestation
of the gills of the silver catfish by 7 parasitic fauna namely
Nemathobothrium
sp, Gryrodactylus sp, Dactylogyrus sp, cysts of
Myxobolusfunduli, cysts of Henneguyachrysichthyi
and cysts of Myxosporea sp. Total of 133 parasitic
individuals were isolated with 17 (12.78%) Nemathobothriumsp,
16(12.03%) each of Gyrodactylus sp and cysts of
Metacarceriae,13 (9.77%) Dactylogyrus sp, 25(8.80%) cysts of
Myxobolus funduli, 25 (18.80%) of Henneguya
chrysichthyii cysts and 21 (15.79%) of Myxosporea sp
cysts. Overall monthly prevalence of the parasitic infection
ranged between 22. 22 – 55.56%, with a monthly incidence of
between 1-4 parasites which by these results, some of the hosts
had incidence above the international standards. Based on the
results of the present study, it is strongly recommended that
table size of the fish meant for consumption has to be properly
processed to prevent the transfer of the parasite to the
consumer as fish parasites are zoonotic and have strong health
implications.

Abstract:
In order to improve the road handling and
passenger comfort of a vehicle, suspension system is provided.
An active suspension system is considered to be better than
passive suspension system. In this paper, a linear quarter car
active suspension system is designed, which subjected to
different road disturbances. Since parametric uncertainty in the
spring, damper and actuator has been considered, therefore
robust control is used. H∞ and µ−synthesis controllers
are used to improve the ride comfort and road handling ability
of the car as well as to check the robust stability and
performance of the system. In H∞ design, we design a controller
for passenger comfort purpose and to keep the suspension
deflection small and to reduce the road disturbance to
suspension deflection. For the µ−synthesis design, we
design a controller with hydraulic actuator and uncertainty
model. We design a MATLAB/SIMULINK model for the active
suspension system with the H∞ and µ−synthesis controllers
and we made test using four road disturbance inputs (bump,
random, sine pavement and slope) for suspension deflection, body
acceleration and body travel for passive, active suspension with
controller and active suspension without controller. Finally we
compare the H∞ and µ−synthesis controllers with a
Simulink model for suspension deflection, body acceleration and
body travel simulation and the result shows that both designs
give good performance but H∞ controller has superior performance
as compared to µ−synthesis controller.

Abstract:
In this
paper, a Magnetic Levitation (MAGLEV) train is designed with a
single degree of freedom electromagnet-based system that allows
the train to levitate vertically up and down. Fuzzy logic, PID
and Mras controllers are used to improve the Magnetic Levitation
train passenger comfort and road handling. A matlab Simulink
model is used to compare the performance of the three
controllers using step input signals. The stability of the
Magnetic Levitation train is analyzed using root locus
technique. Controller output response for different time period
and change of air gap with different time period is analyzed for
the three controllers. Finally the comparative simulation and
experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the
presented fuzzy logic controller.

Abstract:
Background: Diets of adolescents is very critical particularly
the beverages which assist in maintaining of hydration, in
addition to their roles as essential nutrients. During the
previous decades the habits of in taking beverages has greatly
elevated extremely. With excessive consumption of beverages with
added sugar. Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are associated
with weight gain and obesity. Obesity is a major concern and
representing a severe healthcare problem that faced the
developing countries that having high percentage of youth.
Objectives. This study aims to assess the pattern of
beverage consumption among sample of adolescents in Egypt.
Subjects and Methods: across sectional study of 566 subjects
Egyptian adolescents of both sex between the ages of 10 and 19
years were randomly selected from preparatory and secondary
schools in different governorates of Egypt: Data collection and
study tools: Anthropometric Assessment, Dietary assessment and
beverage intake assessments carried through specific
questionnaire (dietary pattern questionnaire for beverage
consumption among adolescents).Results and Conclusion:
Total beverage consumption were strongly related to gender,
higher beverage consumption by Females of both healthy and
unhealthy beverage especially (SSBs, and caffeinated
beverage)compared to male. Normal weight group consume higher
amount of healthy beverage while the obese group consume higher
amount of unhealthy beverage, Underweight subjects consumed
lesser amount of drinks, compared to normal weight and obese
subjects. Three was, inadequate intake of milk and natural fruit
juice. ,water was taken adequately in both gender.
