Deep pelvic endometriosis is a complex female pathology, of which it is necessary to understand the mechanisms in order to optimize their management. It is characterized by 3 types of lesion among which the deep lesions. These are defined by infiltration of the retroperitoneal space and / or pelvic organ wall [1]. Bladder lesions belong to this last category.Endometriosis can cause abdominopelvic pain and inconstant functional signs, the nature of which is often related to the localization of lesions [2].To optimize and progress in the care of patients, it is absolutely necessary to attempt to understand the physiopathogenic hypotheses aimed at explaining the birth and development of the disease.The first part of the assessment is based on the interrogation which must be targeted and on a thorough clinical examination.Then comes the prescription of complimentary exams, essential to exhaustive assessment of the lesions before developing a therapeutic strategy. The medical treatment has a suspensive purpose by an anti-gonadotropic effect. It is of little use in isolated bladder endometriosis. In case of failure of medical treatment, the surgical management of symptomatic deep endometriosis remains the reference treatment.

This study examined the relationships between fringe benefits, job enrichment, and colleagues’ relationship to employees’ job satisfaction in hospitality industry. We predicted and found that all the variables were positively associated with job satisfaction. Even though the findings were consistent with prediction, fringe benefits and job enrichment however showed only a low degree of impact on job satisfaction. This may be due to the contribution of other factors such as job autonomy, working environment, financial rewards to job satisfaction.

Among the fundamental questions in the field of legal theory is that, if a set of codified rules of civil and criminal law, the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on the principles of the law of Muhammad (PBUH), developed and provided for, how emergent phenomena, after nearly fourteen centuries, can be effective ?, this research tries to study the mechanism of evolution and dynamics based on diligence in Shiite jurisprudence, methodical and comprehensive response to these questions. The meaning of "Modernization " The wide range of realistic approaches that, with dedication to understanding change and the emergence of issues rulings, and with an emphasis on how jurists predecessor, in the process of legal reasoning and reach closer to the "judgment of God", Can play a role. Consistent with the requirements of rational understanding, practice of intellectuals, of physical, sensory and significant natural and common requirements, and demands of modern life, and historical realities, with a modern and innovative approach to verbal tradition, the current version of the Infallible (AS) is one of them which, following secondary titles, may help to understand the criterion of jurisprudence, and fundamental change as a result of the passage of the law, news, and changes in the new legislation, will bring. In this paper, examples of this mechanism, with emphasis on codified rules, will be examined.

In the present study morphologic and morphometric analysis in the three pairs of otoliths: sagittae, asterisci and lapilli of the swordfish Xiphias gladius is carried out for the first time. X. gladius data were obtained from 2000 to 2002 in nine fishing cruises in two commercial vessels that arrived in Manzanillo, México. As with other billfishes, sagittae are characterized by having four bodies: a rostrum and antirostrum separated by the excisura major and a postrostrum and pararostrum separated by an excisura minor; being this a peculiar character observed in these species and in the dolphinfish. The growth of the three pairs of otoliths is eccentric to the core; a larger quantity of material is deposited in the dorsal areas and borders, in relation to the ventral areas. No statistically significant morphometric differences were observed between the right and left otolith and between sexes of X. gladius. Seasonal growth rings could not be observed in the sagittae, but were present in some asterisci. Results are discussed with those reported by other authors. It is recommended that studies of daily growth increases in one-year organisms or less be carried out. We suggest that a capture quota of this fishery is given to the commercial fishermen.

Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) also known as bottle squash is a delicious vegetable. Many fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and green and black tea have been found to contain natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, flavonoids, phenolic compounds like ferulic acid and catechins and can contribute significantly in scavenging free radicals if taken regularly in the diet. The present study aimed at assessing the effect of different processing methods and parts of the bottle gourd on antioxidant activities as well as determining the antioxidants present in different cultivars (organic and conventional) and developing value added products (tutte- fruity) from bottle gourd. Organic and conventional bottle gourds were used for the current study. The samples were collected from two different places of Coimbatore District. Organic bottle gourd was obtained from a certified organic farm located in Udumalpet. Conventional bottle gourd was purchased from a local market. Nutrient composition was determined in both the varieties with respect to fibre, vitamin- C, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Antioxidant activity was estimated using DPPH, FRAP and total phenols method. Shelf- life study was carried out for both the varieties and value addition of bottle gourd was done by preparing tutte- fruity and organoleptic evaluation was carried out. There was no significant difference between the fibre content of organic pulp and skin when compared to conventional pulp and skin. Organic whole bottle gourd showed slightly high values in fibre content than conventional sample. Calcium content of raw, boiled and steamed bottle gourd skin was high (12.50mg). This may be due to accumulation of calcium in skin portion. In all the three assays organic bottle gourd showed highest radical scavenging activity (331.4µM TE/g) when compared to conventional one (305.83µM TE/g). The difference between the values may be because of utilization of pesticides and fertilizers in conventional practice. Tutte- fruity prepared from the conventional bottle gourd was found to be similar to the commercially available ones. Thus inclusion of bottle gourd in our daily diet will promote health and well being through its micronutrients.

Copper is one of the essential trace nutrients in all high plants and animals. But it can be toxic in high concentration. In this study a Copper resistant bacteria, Bacillus pumilus was isolated from Marine water. A multi-step response surface methodology was successfully applied for the maximum removal of Cu(II) from the aqueous solutions using the live bacteria to optimize the following factors : pH of the solution(3.50-5.50), concentration of the copper solution(15-50mg l^-1), incubation time (14-46 hours) and to evaluate the effects and interactions of process variables. Based on the statistics analysis the optimum conditions were obtained from pH=6.18, copper concentration=32.50mg l^-1 of the media, contact time=30 hours and the copper removal was 60.264%. The higher value coefficient of determination (R²=0.9991) justified an excellent correlation between the process parameters. Finally the difference between the theoretical value and statistical value was very low.

In this paper Taguchi method is applied for determining the effect of process parameters on vortex tube made of Delrin material. An Experimental work is carried out to analyze the performance of vortex tube with five controllable input parameters namely diameter of the orifices, diameter of the nozzles, length of hot tube, tube diameter and inlet pressure. Cold temperature is considered as output parameter. The various parameters like S/N analysis, ANOVA and Optimal Cold Temperature were carried out in order to determine the effects of process parameters and optimal factor settings.

Present study deal with the investigation on parametric study on self supporting chimney considering in three different cities of India . The 65 m height and 80 m height of chimneys were selected and analyzed for wind force and seismic loadings for seismic zone III , IV and V, as per Indian standards (IS: 6533 -1989 ) and IS 1893(part 1) 2002. The wind loads were determined as per IS 875-1987 for the basic wind speed 47m/s, 50m/s and 55m/s. The thicknesses of the chimney were kept constant for this study. Significant increments were observed in displacement, bending moment and shear force for different seismic and wind zones. The results of self supporting steel chimney were obtained out with the above said parameters.
