Abstract:
The present study is mainly based
on the determination of the effect of pile length on load
sharing between piles and soil and distribution of stress under
soil before and after redistributed of load from soil to pile
under six piles their diameters are fixed (D = 0.6 m) and the
spacing between piles is fixed (Sp = 3D) and they have various
length (Lp = 34D, 36D, 38D and 40D). The piles subjected to
eccentric load (0%,5%,10%,15% and 20%) from centroid in
X-direction. Raft on piles the thickness of raft is (t = 1.0D).
Finite element package
of a PLAXIS 3D version 2013. (a finite element code for soil and
rock analysis) has been used to determine the stress under pile
and soil before and after redistribution
of load on pile from soil, percentage load carried by pile
and soil, settlement under piles and distribution of load among
pile length. It was found that Pile Length have a great effect
on load sharing as increasing pile length increase load carries
by pile.

Abstract:
The present study was conducted at a private orchard at
Regwa region, Giza governorate, Egypt
during 2017 and 2018 seasons to examine the role of the
pre-harvest application of Salicylic acid (SA), Potassium
Silicate (P.S), Set and their combinations
on apricot fruit quality after harvest in 2017 and 2018 seasons.
The results indicated that all treatments significantly
increased all fruit parameters in both seasons compared to the
control. The data indicated that spraying apricot trees during
pit hardening stage and 15 days before harvesting with 4.5 mmol/L
SA + 4000 ppm PS gave the highest fruit weight, fruit diameters
and flesh thickness in both seasons while Set at 2000 ppm had
the highest fruit firmness in both seasons. Apricot trees
treated with 4.5 mmol/L SA+4000 ppm PS gave the highest fruit
TSS% and the lowest fruit acidity so the previous treatment
increased fruit maturity index and this may be decrease fruit
shelf life and accelerate maturity. While the lowest TSS/Acidity
ratio (maturity index) was obtained by 1 mmol/L SA in both
seasons. SA 1 mmol/L could be recommended to delay fruit
ripening and extend fruit shelf life. Apricot trees treated with
salicylic acid and potassium silicate as a single application or
in combinations with others treatments significantly increased
the mineral contents of apricot leaves.

Abstract:
Enterococci are part of the normal flora in human and animals,
as well as occurring naturally in both treated and untreated
water as an emerging pathogen of the urinary tract. A total of
300 urine samples were collected aseptically from outpatients in
Ojo, Lagos, which were investigated using standard
microbiological methods. Out of the 300 samples examined,
195(65%) had bacterial isolates. Of these, 165 (84.6%) were
positive for Enterococci, 18 (9.2%) were Streptococcus
pyogenes and 12 (6.2%) were Staphylococcus aureus.
Enterococcus faecalis was the most prevalent with 117
(70.9%), followed by Enterococcus faecium 33 (20%) while
E. dispar 9(5.5%) and E. durans (3.6%) were the
least recovered. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern was
determined by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Seventy two
(70.5%) E. faecalis were resistant to Erythromycin, 63
(61.7%) to Tetracycline, 18 (17.6%) to Ampicilin, 10 (9.8%) to
Vancomycin, 8 (7.8%) to Ciprofloxacin and 3 (2.9%) to
Norfloxacin respectively. A generally higher susceptibility was
shown by the E. faecium as against E. faecalis
in this study. Ten of the E. faecalis isolates were
Vancomycin resistant Enterococci (VRE). Eighteen of the 135
Enterococi tested produced biofilm, 12 of which E. faecalis
and 6 were E. faecium. Both VRE and biofilm producers
showed high multiple resistance to most of the antibiotics
tested. This study reveals that multiple antibiotic resistance
among Enterocococci appears to be emerging in the study area,
thus antimicrobial susceptibility testing of enterococcal
isolates should be available before prescription of antibiotics
in order to promote rational drug use.

Abstract:
The study of the mechanical properties of biomaterials gives the
significant knowledge in quality evaluations and control of
mechanical damage in size reduction, this study aimed at
determining the mechanical properties of two selected varieties
(Bara and Sewere) of melon. The strength
properties of the two varieties were determined using a
Universal Testing Machine (Testometric Machine)
with a 25 KN compression load cell and Integrator.
The properties determined include deformation, force, strain,
stress, time to failure, time to peak and young modulus, they
were determined in two loading orientations (laterally and
longitudinally). The data obtained
were statistically analysed and
difference of means were tested at 95% level of confidence. the
deformation, compressive force, strain and stress at the limit
of proportionality ranges between 0.74-0.90mm, 9.13-11.13N,
4.63-5.65% and 0.06-0.07N/mm2 respectively for
longitudinal orientation of Bara and 1.48-2.51mm,
8.22-14.15N, 9.24-15.6%, 0.05-0.09N/mm2 respectively
for transverse orientation of Bara while for Sewere,
the deformation, compressive force, strain and stress ranges
between 1.28-1.69mm, 5.40-6.57N, 8.03-10.55% and 0.03-0.04N/mm2
respectively for longitudinal orientation and 1.20-1.58mm,
5.47-8.37N, 7.51-9.85%, 0,03-0.05N/mm2 respectively
for transverse orientation. There exists a significant
difference in the force required to attain the yield point
between the longitudinal and transverse orientation for Bara
while there is no significant difference between longitudinal
and transverse orientation in Sewere but Bara in
transverse orientation is significantly higher that of Sewere
and Bara in longitudinal orientation is significantly
higher than that of Sewere. The deformation, compressive
force, strain and stress at peak point ranges between
1.57-.65mm, 35.43-44.91N, 9.81-10.29% and 0.22-0.28N/mm2
respectively for longitudinal orientation of Bara and
2.20-3.02mm, 22.68-30.35N, 13.77-18.89%, 0.14-0.19N/mm2
respectively for transverse orientation of Bara
while for Sewere the deformation, compressive force,
strain and stress ranges between 3.90-5.79mm, 13.22-23.50N,
24.39-36.25% and 0.08-0.15N/mm2 respectively for
longitudinal orientation and 2.42-3.08mm, 18.17-22.72N,
15.11-19.22%, 0.11-0.14N/mm2 respectively for
transverse orientation.

Abstract:
Poor sanitation, water scarcity, inferior water quality and
inappropriate hygiene behaviour are detrimental to the health of
children and are a major cause of mortality for children under
five. These conditions put school children at high risk for
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) related morbidities. An
estimated 400 children old in developing countries are affected
by worm due to open defecation. The general objective of this
study was to assess water supply and sanitation facilities in
primary schools in Calabar South Local Government Area, Cross
River State, Nigeria. It was a cross sectional descriptive study
with a sample size of 430. A multistage sampling technique was
employed in choosing respondents using a semi-structured,
interviewer administered questionnaire and an observation
checklist. The outcome of the study showed that 268 (62.4%)
respondents had water, 33(7.6%), sometimes had water and 129
(30.0%) did not have water available in their school. The tap
water was the only identified source of water. Respondents
without water in their school looked for alternative means like
45(34.9%) from the staff quarters, 41(31.8%) from the school
canteen and 43(31.3%) from outside the school. The availability
of sanitation facilities in primary schools was 427(99.5%) and
water system at 412(95.9%) was the most identified type of
sanitation facility while the other was the pour flush at
15(4.1%). About 215(30.3%) respondents had 3-4 toilets in their
schools and 387(90.2%) respondents had water source close to
their toilets. From direct observation, it was noted that all
the school’s water systems were not functional as pupils
improvised by getting water outside for flushing. However, at
the time of observations, no cleaning materials were seen and
toilets were seen in poor sanitary conditions and unhygienic.
Water supply and toilets facilities in primary schools were
grossly inadequate in quality and quantity. This requires urgent
attention by all relevant stakeholders, to prevent health
hazards or outbreak of disease to school children, staff and
even the general public.

Abstract:
In the article discussed the
mechanism of the process of commercialization of media products
and the information model of the internet media as the main
element of commercialization is very complex by nature of the
news segment of the Internet Media: article technical, form
legal, purpose socio-economic. Each of its components is
considered to develop a serious supply of information
(information-technological, information-analytical), which is
the basis of the process of commercialization of media systems.

Abstract:
India is always being a rich
country by its spirituality and cultural aspects, but the thing;
that is yet to explore fully is the scientific temperament
behind the spirituality. The transformation of wild
plants into bountiful, reliable crops profoundly altered the
trajectory of modern humans. In India there are many blessed
plants are prehistorically used through the linage of
anthropological and ethnobotanical significance. Navapatriaka
pants are one of that blessed plants which are mainly associated
with the eastern part of India, specifically in the land of
Bengal provinces. Food, Medicine & Shelter these are the primary
necessitates of each nation, these nine plants are fulfilling
all such dictum of colloquial livelihood of Bengal peoples.
Through the Ayurveda to the modern pharmacological qualification
and both quantification of these plants are already tested, but
in this review we tried to spot out the antimicrobial efficiency
of these holy plants for their future application of
immunoglobulin associated study.
