Abstract: The study was undertaken to study the academic achievement of hearing impaired, visually impaired and crippled secondary school students of district Baramullah, J&K. The sample for the study was 150 physically school students identified from 90 secondary schools by using purposive sampling technique. Aggregate marks obtained by the subjects in 8^th & 9^th classes were taken as their academic achievement. The analysis of the data shows that the different categories viz hearing impaired, visually impaired and crippled secondary school students do not differ in their academic achievement. It indicates that all the categories have some level of achievement.

Abstract: In this study a screening survey was undertaken to determine the presence and levels of aflatoxin M1 ( AFM1) in locally produced dairy products. For this propose, a total of 141 dairy samples ( raw milk, pasteursed milk, milk powder, yogurt and feta cheese)were analyzed to determined the level of AFM1 in these products.results obtained showed that AFM1 was found in 54.6% of milk and milk products samples. Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus) used for removal of AFM1in yogurt during manufacturing. It was found that Lactobacillus bulgaricus was of more binding ability than streptococcus thermophilus in reduction of AFM1, the results were discussed in details.

Abstract: E-governance deals with the various businesses, governments and citizens. Now a days e-governance have every information related to business, government and citizens that’s information is private information if any thief or hacker stolen or hack the data then he misuses the data because e-governance have various important information related to bank account , income tax, business transactions etc. Digital securities are a great technology that is using us for saving our data. Through this technology no one can hack, fetch or showing our data without the permission. At that time many citizens of Uttarakhand use the e-governance for banking, income tax, business purpose, in medical etc they don’t know that any hacker hacks or stolen their data. They nothing knows about the digital security. So in this paper we discussing about the digital securities by RSA algorithm for stopping the hacking. In this e-governance helps the citizens in using the digital securities for saving the any conversation like money transaction, account number etc .In this in RSA algorithm we use the private and public key that gives by the e-governance for high security because if citizens forget their key then e-governance gives them again .

Abstract: The verification of density of rocks in some part of Gwagwalada Area Council of FCT-Abuja, was carried out to asses the effects of geographical variations on geophysical parameters which include density of rocks. This research paper describes a methodological approach using a direct measurement on rock samples in the laboratory. The volume of the rocks and the resulting density is then calculated from the computational approach. The results of the experiments and field studies that examined the rock density are then compared with the available lithological data (reviewed result). The data presented in this research work were gathered from the experiments conducted in the university of Abuja Physics laboratory and from the field studies observed from about eight locations within the research areas, which include Zuba, Yimi, Giri, Gwako, Paiko, Dobi, Anagada and Gwagwalada. In this investigation we have examined a suite of samples (20 specimens) with density ranging from 2.20g/cm³ to 3.06g/cm³.

Abstract: This work was carried out in the course of a screening program for specifying the bioactive substances that demonstrated inhibitory affects against microbial pathogenic. Twenty-eight actinomycete strains were isolated from soil sample collected from Al-Khurmah governorate, KSA. One of the actinomycete culture, symbol KH-1223-55 from six cultures was found to produce a wide spectrum antimicrobial agent against (bacterial Gram positive and Bacteria Gram negative and unicellular and filamentous Fungi). The nucleotide sequence of the 16s RNA gene (1.5 Kb) of the most potent strain evidenced an 98% similarity with Streptomyces rimosus. From the taxonomic features, the actinomycetes isolate KH-1223-55 matched with Streptomyces rimosus in the morphological, physiological and biochemical characters. Thus, it was given the suggested name Streptomyces rimosus. The parameters controlling the biosynthetic process of antimicrobial agent formation including: different inoculum size, pH values, temperatures, incubation period, and different carbon and nitrogen sources were fully investigates.

ABSTRACT: This study examines the fungal species composition and density, taxonomic composition as well as functional feeding groups of benthic molluscan community in a tropical mangrove swamp at six study stations (1 – 6). The study area was predominantly muddy (70.7 – 83.6 %) with high organic content (34 – 62 %). In the fungal community Aspergillus recorded the highest frequency of occurrence, followed by Penicillium and Fusarium, these three genera were isolated in the six study stations while Trichoderma and yeast cells were recorded in low frequencies and restricted to few study stations. The molluscan community recorded a total of 2 classes (Gastropoda and Bivalvia), 5 families, 5 genera and 5 species from a total density of 3240 ind/m². Gastropod species; Pachymelania aurita and Typanotonus fuscatus var radula were widely distributed, while bivalve species; Aloidis trigona and Anadara senilis were recorded only in three stations, except Gryphae gasar which occurred in four stations. There was no molluscan species found in stations 5 and 6. Analysis of the functional feeding composition of the molluscan community revealed that, of the two functional groups recorded, deposit feeding represented by T. fuscatus var radula was the most abundant FFG, it accounted for 51.54% of the total molluscan population, while the filter feeders constituted 48.46 %. Grain size and organic content of sediment had strong effects on community indices and population densities of molluscs. The low diversity of fungal and molluscan species observed in this study may be attributed to the sedimentary condition of the mangrove swamp.

Abstract: This research project investigated the effect of heat treatment on phosphate sorption by soil collected from different ecologies in Nigeria. Selected physicochemical properties of the soil were analyzed while the soils were heat to 40⁰C and 100⁰C respectively in the oven. Known phosphorus concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25mg/kg using Sokoto Rock minerals were prepared and used for the sorption experiment including the soils at ambient temperature of 25⁰C. The results of the physicochemical analysis showed that the soils were generally acidic (pH = 4.3 – 6.5) while organic carbon varied between 0.74 and 1.93%. The soils had clay content of 5.30 – 16.68%, while the cat ion exchange capacity was between 5.07 and 6.26cmol/kg. The sorption result shows that at 25⁰C soil from Kaduna 1 in Kaduna State had the lowest Langmuir sorption maximum(Xm), at 40⁰C, the lowest Xm value was obtained from Ubiaja in Edo State and also at 100⁰C, soils from Kaduna 1 in Kaduna State had the lowest Xm value. This implies that the lower the Xm value and increase in temperature, the higher the concentration of phosphorus adsorbed. The result from this study can be used in planning for the application of phosphorus to soils from the different locations especially for improved soil fertility.
