Abstract: With stone columns credibility as a soil improvement technique being validated through time, it has been used in many sites in Egypt. This paper presents a 3D finite element analysis using the finite element code PLAXIS 3D of a load test conducted on stone columns as a part of a project in Egypt. The present study aims to investigate the soil properties in the present area in conjunction with the suitable constitutive models for the composite system that can be later used for further investigations and parametric studies. Three constitutive models (MC-HS-HSS) were studied besides the thickness change of the cushion layer placed on top of the stone columns. Results show that the cushion presence reduced settlement and that increasing its thickness helps in the lateral deformation of stone columns.

Abstract: Vegetables have a great importance in agriculture sector. These crops share a great contribution to agriculture in national economy. There are many vegetables which can be grown in Pakistani climate and soil. Tunnel farming is a new technology for growing vegetables due to increase in population and small land for agricultural use. Government of Punjab is doing its effort to disseminate this technology among the farmers to enhance their vegetable production. Fruit and Vegetable Development Project (F&VDP) was also started by the Punjab government in 20 districts of the Punjab. The study was done in Faisalabad district of Punjab, Pakistan. In Faisalabad, there were 12 Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) under F&VDP, out of which six FFSs were randomly selected for the collection of data through interview schedule. From each selected FFS, 20 respondents were selected randomly making sample of 120 respondents. The data were analyzed through the computer software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the findings of the present study, it was assessed that respondents got benefits from the project in term of increase in their income and their area under vegetable cultivation also increases. Similarly, farmers knowledge about plants growth also enhanced, quality of produce increased. It is suggested that the time period of the project should be extended and there should be facility of small credit schemes for poor farmers to ensure the timely availability of quality seeds, pesticides and fertilizers. It is proven that project has enhanced livelihood assets to sustain the family lives of farming community.

Abstract: The fusion of China, I like to move the arrow of the dynamic field on the Taiji chart to the heart of one of the following laws of motion, the creation of yin and yang, the movement of metal, wood, water, fire and the earth to give rise to all evolutionary philosophical thoughts. The Taoist inaction WTO emphasizes the unity and contradiction of opposites. Confucius is indeed another gossip about the centrifugal movement, such as arrows, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and belief in the birth of Confucianism. They are born to promise the highest degree of ethical adaptation. Unfortunately, they are usually viewed from a macro and micro perspective. Analysis of the problem. I don’t really understand the picture of the voltmeter of Taiji Bagua, and there is no way to find the source below, nor does it explain all the real meanings of Taiji Bagua. It cannot play a huge role in science and technology.

Abstract: The development of visual art has an irreplaceable role for people to record their lives, recognize the world, and express emotions. Time has passed. With the development of the new media era, the impact of digital technology on visual art is obvious, and the audience's key to the aesthetics of visual art is also From the initial "static aesthetic" to the "dynamic aesthetic" level, static loss is more obvious in the expression of advertising art, and the defects of static images also restrict the expression of "mirrorized" media advertising. The evolution of contemporary media advertising from static art to dynamic communication, the change from visual qualitative to artistic quantification, the subtle change from traditional single to multimedia communication, these can all prove to us. In the era of visual art communication, there is a big gap between the universality of media advertising and the practice of media advertising in new formats. Media advertising needs to be "defined", and after the emergence of the new landscape of media advertising, there are many topics worthy of our in-depth Thinking. But in fact, in the era of visual art dissemination, the new landscape of media advertising that is guided by the situation can still show the original charm of advertising.

Abstract: The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a key strategic initiative designed to promote economic ties between Pakistan and China. We appraise the impact of CPEC-concerned economic development on electricity usage and the forecast indications for Pakistan by 2030. The Johansen cointegration technique helps to classify the long-run correlation between energy usage and its sources at the aggregation and sectoral levels and anticipated future power needs using scenario analysis. According to the predictions of the baseline scenario, energy usage in 2030 would be almost 41% higher than in 2013. Below the baseline scenario, power usage in the industrial and commercial sectors will rise by 136 and 414 percent appropriately, in 2030. The scenario interpretation results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations that account for future uncertainty. For each sector of the economy, the government should operate diligent accounting and correlated planning to account for the conceivable growth of energy consumption due to CPEC-linked economic projects.

ABSTRACT: this study determined the effect of oven drying on some quality attributes of chicken. The properties determined include sensory properties (including colour, flavor, taste, texture, tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability) and physical properties (including cooking loss, pH and water holding capacity). The data collected was statistically analysed using the general linear model procedure available in SAS and Duncan’s Multiple Range (DMRT) was used to determine the difference among means. Drying time had significant effect on the properties measured. It was obtained that the longer the drying duration of the sausage, the longer rate at which the sausage attain the degree of acceptance. The oven drying of sausage raised its shelf life and sensory attributes.

Abstract: If Persian Gulf is considered as the entrance to Indian Ocean and hence, entrance for energy and oil into the industry world, Hormoz Strait is absolutely itsmaster key. The importance of this strait can be revealed by huge, undeniable and un-replaceable transmission of energy and oil. HormozStrait is one of the most important international straits associates as the most essential and main transmission straits all over the world. One of the particular juridical and legal in respect of HormozStrait is Iran's claim to blockage the strait based on his decision which is political oriented. Yet, since this strategic strait is located between Iran (in North) and Oman (in South) and both the countries claims about 12 miles ground sea in HormozStrait, also, considering to small width equal to 21 miles in least width of strait, so there is a Land interference. Now, considering above points, and evaluating conventions and International regulations as well as the dominant legal system for international straits specially, HormozStrait, this paper attempts to answer this question that has Iran the right to blockage Hormoz Strait due to any risk against his profits or based on his own decision?

ABSTRACT: Malaria which is endemic in Nigeria is caused by Plasmodium species that are transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. A longitudinal study (January-December, 2017) was on molecular characterization, seasonality, gonotrophic stages, and parity status of malaria vectors in rural Oraifite, south-eastern Nigeria. Indoor anthropophagous mosquitoes were sampled by pyrethrum knockdown collection method, and identified morphologically based on appearance of head, thorax, wing colours, and tarsal segments of hind legs of the mosquitoes. The PCR amplification of DNA from legs and wings was used to identify sibling species of mosquito species. Indoor resting density (IRD) was determined as ‘number of female mosquitoes collected per room per night’ while man-biting rate (MBR) was taken as ‘total number of engorged females divided by number of room-occupants the night before collection’. Gonotrophic stages were categorized according to abdominal conditions of mosquitoes as engorged, not-engorged, gravid, and half-gravid while parity was based on presence or absence of ovary-trachea in dissected mosquitoes. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics. Standard error bars on excel bar charts indicated significant differences (p<0.05) among variables studied. Both IRD and MBR were computed from derived formulae. Out of 541 Anopheles mosquitoes collected, An. gambiae comprised 294 (54.35%), An. funestus 228 (42.14%), and An. moucheti 19 (3.51%), (p<0.05). Dry season contributed 11.5% of all collections while rainy season accounted for 88.5% with a peak in September (24.6%). Of 160 An. gambiae complex ran on PCR, 125 (78.1%) were amplified as An. gambiae sensu stricto. Both IRD (mosquitoes/room/night) and MBR (bites/man/night) for An. gambiae s.l, An. funestus, and An. moucheti were (0.42; 0.2), (0.3; 0.14), and (0.02; 0.01) respectively. Of all 541 Anopheles species, 429 (79.3%) were engorged were, 41 (7.6%) not- engorged, 39 (7.2%) half-gravid, and 32 (5.9%) gravid. Monthly variation in parity rates of Anopheles gambiae complex was significant (p<0.05) but all An. gambiae, An. funestus, and An. moucheti collected in August were parous, with respective parity rates of 83, 69, and 57%. High percentages of engorged and parous Anopheles species in this study indicated intense activity of the malaria vector An. gambiae s. s in Oraifite.
