Abstract: Rauvolfia vomitoria (L.) is a species of tree in the family Apocynaceae. It is a shrub or a small tree that undergo exploitation in some West African countries. More concentration has been on the species of Rauvolfia, that is, Rauvolfia serpentine which makes Rauvolfia vomitoria lesser known species. Fruits of Rauvolfia vomitoria were purposively collected from UI (Oyo state) and FUTA (Ondo state) to determine Physical characteristics (colour). The fruits were depulped, leaving the seeds washed. The length (cm), width (cm) and weight (g) of 100 samples per location were measured to determine the influence of imbibitions and seed index and analyzed. A t-Test was used to analyze and compare the imbibition rate and seed index of the locations. The ripe fruits in Akure (red) while the fruits in Ibadan (orange). The unripe fruits in Futa (bottled green) while in U.I (pure green) colour. Mean Seed indices 0.51 (Akure), 0.63 (Ibadan). Imbibitions show a higher percentage of mean 0.013 at Akure than Ibadan (0.010). The mature fruits of Rauvolfia vomitoria are red and orange colour. Imbibitions show a higher mean 0.013 at Akure had the best imbibitions rate unlike Ibadan and might make the seeds to germinate faster than Ibadan.

Abstract: Greenhouse agriculture technology is considered one of the most important applications of modern technologies that contribute to increasing agricultural production, The research problem is summarized in the imbalance between the supply and demand sides of agricultural crops, especially with the limited land resources and the increase in irrigation and water needs, in addition to the worsening of the population problem, which aimed to identify the feasibility of producing cherry tomatoes for the purpose of export or local marketing under greenhouses. and studying the development of greenhouse numbers in Egypt, it is seen that it has taken an increasing trend with an annual growth rate of about 5.14% of the average number of greenhouses during the period (2004-2017). It is concerned with the development of greenhouse production during the period referred to, as production has taken an increasing trend with an annual growth rate estimated at 3.96% of the average greenhouse production for the study period. With an estimate of some indicators of the economic evaluation of the production of cherry tomatoes under the greenhouse, it was found that: the break-even point for the production destined for the domestic market is estimated at 6.1 tons / greenhouse, and with an estimate of the price safety limit for the production destined for export amounted to about 71.1%, which means that each product will still achieve profits even if the export prices decrease by 71.1%, but in the case of production Directed to the local market, the price safety limit reached 27.2%. Which indicates that the cherry tomato product under the greenhouse will still achieve profits until the local market prices decrease by 27.1%, and it becomes clear that the most important import markets for cherry tomatoes are the markets of Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kuwait, followed by the markets of the Emirates, the Netherlands, then Qatar, where they represent These markets collectively account for 97.4% of the total Egyptian exports of cherry tomatoes during the year 2017-2018, which indicates a concentration in the Egyptian export markets among a limited number of countries.

Abstract: In late 2019, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei province of China. COVID-19 rapidly spread and led to an outbreak in China and then became a global health emergency. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19), showed high transmission capacity and morbidity. In this way, WHO suggests that the most efficient method for controlling transmission is social isolation/quarantine to the population. Human and Swiss Webster Outbred stock, in both species we can define a distress intersection point: abrupt break in routine and compromise in social relationships. For this reason, we can observe in the Swiss Webster ethology various behavioral disturbances, such as family violence and aggression exacerbated. In this review, we hope, through comparative behavioral analysis, to avoid, mitigate and alleviate social stress in humans, mainly through procedures for raising animal welfare. In conclusion, we believed that our knowledge of Mouse Lab ethology can be useful, since, by minimizing stress, the most rudimentary emotions, similar between humans and mice, but concient-rationalized in the human and promote the improvement of the human being's elevated quality of life, even in social isolation/quarantine.

Abstract: Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the progressive deficiency of renal function for months and years and frequently present with elevation in markers of inflammation especially serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP may have a clinical prediction for risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD. Aim of the Study: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks intradialytic aerobic exercise on (CRP) for patients with chronic kidney disease. Subjects and Methods: Forty hemodialysis patients of both sexes with chronic renal failure participated in the study, their age ranged from 55 to 65 years old recruited randomly from hemodialysis unit of October 6 university hospital, Giza, Egypt. They were randomly divided into two groups (A & B). Study group (A) (30 patients) received 3 sessions per week for 2 months of intradialytic aerobic exercise while Control group (B) (10 patients) received only their medical treatment. All patients in both groups were assessed through serum CRP, Blood urea, creatinine lab tests and Borg rating of perceived exertion scale was used to assess functional activity before and after treatment. Results: The results showed that there was significant decrease in CRP, urea levels and significant positive decrease in Borg RPE scales scores in the study group pre and post treatment as compared to control group. Conclusion: Intradialytic aerobic exercise plays an important role in decreasing CRP, Urea and Borg RPE scores for patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract: This study determined some physical properties of two varieties of melon (Bara and Sewere) using standard methods of evaluation. Properties determined include dimensional, gravimetric and frictional properties. These properties were investigated at 9.83 and 6.73% moisture content wet basis. Sewere had the highest axial dimension (14.50, 9, 1.36 mm) for length, width and thickness respectively while Bara had 14.08, 8.34 and 1.17 mm respectively. Bara has the highest Geometric mean diameter (4.35-6.75mm), while Sewere has 4.15-6.62mm. Sewere has the highest arithmetic mean diameter which ranged from 6.77-9.47mm while Sewere ranged from 6.77-9.07mm. The sphericity of Bara and Sewere ranged from 0.31-0.49 and 0.29-0.46 respectively while bulk density ranged from 296.65 to 312.81 kg/m3 and 309.16 to 406.94 kg/m3 respectively. The true density and porosity of Bara is higher than that of Sewere and it ranged from 1414.08 to 1580.32 kg/m3 and 79.02 to 80.42% respectively, while the true density and porosity of Sewere ranged from 759.15 kg/m3 to 119.72 kg/m3 and 47.18 to 65.88% respectively. The highest coefficient of static friction of 0.62 was obtained on plywood followed by glass with a value of 0.42 while stainless steel has the least coefficient of static friction with a value of 0.34 for Bara. Similarly, Sewere has the highest value of 0.55 on plywood followed by stainless steel with a value of 0.45 while glass has the least coefficient of static friction with a value of 0.40. The angle of repose of Bara ranged from 23.02 to 29.090 while Sewere ranged from 29.280 to 37.370. The knowledge of physical properties is essential as guide in design and development of various post harvest handling equipment.

Abstract: New (E)-4-((1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methylene)-2-(4-nitrophenyl) oxazol-5(4H)-one (3) has been prepared by reaction of p-nitrohippuric acid (1) with 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-carbaldehyde (2). Treatment of 3 with hydrazine hydrate gave the hydrazide derivative 4. Refluxing 4 with 6N HCl afforded the imidazolone derivative 5. Reaction of the hydrazide derivative 4 with benzoyl chloride yielded N-benzoyl derivative 6. Refluxing 6 with 6N HCl gave triazinone derivative 7. However, reaction of 6 with POCl3 yielded the oxadiazole derivative 8. Aminolysis of 3 with primary and /or secondary aliphatic amines gave the corresponding (E)-N-(1-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-substitueted-3-oxoprp-1-en-2-yl)-4-nitrobenzamide (9a-d). On the other hand, refluxing 3 with aniline led to the formation of (E)-N-(1-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-oxo-3-(phenylamino) pro-1-en-2-yl)-4-nitrobenzamide (10). Treatment of 3 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in boiling pyridine yielded oxadiazinone derivative 11. The structures of synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, MS data and elemental analysis. The prepared compounds were tested for antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activity. The antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds have been studied against gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria and fungi by using agar well diffusion method which showed that compounds 3, 7 were the most effective gram positive. Compounds 3, 7 and 8 were effective against gram negative but less than gram positive. However, compounds 3, 4, 5, 6 were more effective against fungi. Furthermore, anticancer activities of some selected compounds were tested against human hepatocellular (HepG2) cancer cell line. Compound 6 showed moderate cancer cell growth inhibition. Also, the anticancer activities against Ascitic Carcinoma showed that compounds 6 showed the highest antitumor effects.
