Abstract: Across-sectional study was conducted with the aim of determining the prevalence, and the predominant species of ovine lungworms and to evaluate the major host related risk factors on the occurrence of these parasites in sheep from July,2015 to August,2015 in Munesa district /Arsi, south east, Ethiopia. Samples were randomly collected from 384 Sheep from each selected household of peasant associations purposively selected  viz . Choba 106, Kersa Ano 86, Doba Ashe 104 and Guri Dangago 88. The raw data was collected on the Specimen Submission Format and examined by using a modified Baermann technique. On overall basis the prevalence was 66.67%. Dictyocaulus filarial was predominant species identified. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the infection among age group and body condition of sheep. Odds of sheep with poor body conditions and medium body conditions to be infected with lungworms as compared to sheep with good body conditions is 44.92% (95%CI:4.0033-14.26), 33.20% (95%CI:1.53-4.26 ) and 21.88%  respectively. In conclusion, the study revealed that lungworms belong to the major parasites that effect the health and productivity of sheep in the area, hence, due attention should be given to the sector to mitigate the set back.

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is a survey of present and future visions of Internet of Things (IoT). The internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. The vision of the internet of things has evolved due to a convergence of multiple technologies, ranging from wireless communication to the Internet and from embedded systems to micro-electromechanical systems. The proliferation of these devices in a communicating–actuating network creates the Internet of Things (IoT), wherein sensors and actuators blend seamlessly with the environment around us, and the information is shared across platforms in order to develop a common operating picture. To realize the broad vision of pervasive computing, underpinned by the “Internet of Things” (IoT), it is essential to break down application and technology-based silos and support broad connectivity and data sharing; the cloud being a natural enabler. The key enabling technologies and application domains that are likely to drive IoT research in the near future are discussed. Our contribution is to analyze the current state of cloud-supported IoT to make explicit the security considerations that require further work.

Abstract: This review, gives the current understanding of complement in the immunology of kidney transplantation and describe studies demonstrating that blockade of terminal complement activation can prevent in antibody mediated rejection sensitized renal transplant recipients. It provides a broad understanding of the pathogenesis of antibody mediated rejection, recent advances in its therapy, and future directions. It also discusses about complement pathway and mechanisms of activation in kidney transplantation, biological effects of complement, the role of complement in kidney transplantation and treatment of antibody mediated rejection in kidney transplantation and complement inhibitors. More detailed studies with existing agents, such as eculizumab, will likely improve our understanding of the role of terminal complement activation in acute and chronic antibody mediated rejection. General the role of complement in antibody mediated rejection of organ allografts has progressed steadily over the past decade. There for the following recommendation are forwarded: during kidney transplantation, antibodies and blood group antigen of donor and receiver should be diagnosed, kidney transplanted should be done between healthy kidney individuals and the elimination of circulating antibodies and suppression of antibody production by B lymphocytes or plasma cells.

Abstract: Across-sectional study was carried out in Bambasi woredas of Asossa zone of Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Western Ethiopia from October to Febuarary, 2016 to determine trypanosomosis prevalence, anemia association with Trypanosomosis, prevailing trypanosomes species, associated risks and vector density. Blood samples collected from (n= 514) randomly sampled cattle (Bos indicus) was examined using buffy coat technique and hematological procedures. An overall, 47 (9.14%) trypanosomosis prevalence was recorded. The infection was caused by Trypanosoma congolense 37/47 (78.72%). Trypanosoma vivax 6/47(12.76%), Trypanosoma brucei 1/47 (2.13%) and mixed infection 2/47(4.25%). The infection rate difference between trypanosomes was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Mean packed cell volume (PCV) value of the infected animals was lower (23.63% + 2.42) than uninfected animals (26.24% + 1.38) and the variation was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Overall, anemia prevalence of 40.07% (206/514) was recorded and it was significantly higher (63.82%) in infected cattle than in non-infected (37.68%). Significant association was not recorded among study sites, sex groups, age categories and body conditions (p>0.05). Glossina moristans submorsitans was the only tsetse fly caught and its mean apparent density measured as fly/trap/day was 3.92. In addition, other mechanical transmitters of trypanosomosis such as stomoxys (1.76 f/t/d), tabanid (0.2 f/t/d) and haematopota (0.35 f/t/d) were recorded. Taken as a whole, the present work evidenced that tsetse and trypanosomosis has continued to pose a considerable threat to cattle of the study area warranting an integrated control to safeguard cattle production and productivity.

Abstract: Tut Field is located at Khalda concession in the northwestern part of the Western Desert, Egypt. It lies between Latitudes 30° 44' 40" and 30° 46' N and Longitudes 26° 57' 20" and 26° 59' 20" E. This work aims to study the subsurface and reservoir characteristics to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of Kharita Formation based on subsurface data available from open-hole well log records of nine wells distributed in the area of study. The subsurface geologic setting, in terms of determining the stratigraphic and structural settings, is gained through the construction of different aligned stratigraphic and structural cross sections, isopach and lithofacies maps. The petrophysical evaluation, in terms of determining the petrophysical characteristics; net pay thickness, effective porosity ( QUOTE  ), shale content ( QUOTE  ), water saturation ( QUOTE  ) and hydrocarbon saturation ( QUOTE  ), is acquired through quantitative computer processed interpretation. The petrophysical characteristics are illustrated laterally in the form of iso-parametric maps and vertically in the form of litho-saturation cross-plots. According to subsurface study and petrophysical evaluation the most productive area is located in some areas of northern and central parts of Tut field. So it is recommended to focus the exploration activities on these areas.

Abstract: Wheat is a major crop sown all over the world on large area. Almost whole world depend upon it for daily requirements. The purpose of this review is to see the wide range of effects of different factors on the yield and quality of wheat in both positive and negative aspects and to know that how we can cope with these situations. Fertilizer had an effect on the grain yield directly or indirectly. In different rainfed conditions fertilizer and FYM affected the yield. Nitrogen utilization and use efficiency under different environmental conditions increased the yield by effected the protein contents. Temperature, drought, heat all effected the wheat during grain filling stages, at different levels of anthesis and maturity. Different cultivars showed different behavior at different temperatures. So much increased temperature decreased the yield such as above 35⁰C after anthesis. Location also affected the grain quality of wheat. At grain development and grain filling different stresses affected the quality and yield. . Irrigation techniques and water stress affected the grain quality. CO₂ level at different irrigation and fertilizer levels increased the grain yield. Weeds decreased the grain quality and grain yield. Diseases such as Leaf Rust, black point infection and powdery mildew decreased the grain yield by lowered their quality. Late frost also decreased the grain quality.

Abstract: Removal of Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) by oxidation of landfill leachate and sewage using K₂FeO₄.The kinetic studies were investigated at different temperatures. Ferrate oxidized the landfill leachate and sewage and was effective within 30minutes for all the temperature investigated. The results obtained for COD reduction during treatment ranged from 24.25 to 80.15 % LFLA, 16.52 to 81.72 %, LFLB; 40.57 to 93.85 %, LFLC; 27.36 to 78.75 %, SWA; 25.58 to 78.26 %, SWB and 22.26 to 81.43 % SWC. The oxidation of the samples by the removal of BOD ranged from 24.95 to 65.82%, LFLA; 31.95 to 76.10%, LFLB; 21.19 to 69.99%, LFLC; 29.27 to 71.18% SWA; 15.04 to 65.39 SWB and 54.10 to 74.05%, SWC. In this investigation, the percentage removal increases as the temperature increases. Results revealed that COD and BOD removal efficiency, affected by temperature. Increasing operating temperature had a favorable effect on the COD and BOD removal. The temperature dependence of the kinetic parameters for the process was calculated using the Arrhenius equation. The Arrhenius plot gives a better R² values for all the samples with range from 0.8279 to 0.9893 for COD and 0.8575 to 0.9803 for BOD. Positive E_a indicate that higher solution temperatures favor the oxidation, and the process is endothermic.

Abstract: A distinguishing characteristic of adult education programs is that program content and language must be suitable and respectful of adult clients. For example, instead of using the word “student” which may imply a traditional teacher/student relationship where a student is subservient to the teacher, all state program materials use the word “learner” or “customer.” Using this type of language acknowledges the adults’ existing knowledge and real-world experience and makes them the focus of the program. The Pennsylvania Adult Basic and Literacy Education Indicators of Program. Quality emphasize the importance of customer satisfaction and learner progress on individualized goals One quality area explicitly states that “program staff and learners jointly develop, regularly evaluate, and update an instructional plan that incorporates the individual’s learning styles and preferences” . This is just one example of how learners and staff are equals and collaborate on the learners’ participation in the program.
