Probiotics are live microorganisms which are mainly strains of Lactobacillus species (spp.), and others. These microorganisms offer a health benefit for the host when administered in adequate amounts. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) samples were obtained from 42 patients who had been admitted to hospitals in Al-Karameh hospital during July 2016. These samples were inoculated onto enriched and differential culture media. Susceptibility of isolated pathogens to standard isolates lactobacilli spp. (107 CFU / ml) and twelve commonly used UT antibiotics was tested using standard susceptibility testing. Thirty one variance bacterial species were isolated. Escherichia coli (E coli) 9 (92.03%) were the most commonly isolated microorganisms, followed by Proteus mirabilis (P mirabilis) 6 (19.35%), Staphylococcus aureus (S aureus) 5 (16.13%), Klebsiella pneumonia (K pneumonia) 5 (16.13%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P aeruginosa) 4 (12.9%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S epidermidis) 2 (6.45%). In susceptibility testing, Lactobacillus spp. had coverage against 31 (100%). The coverage of the remaining twelve antibacterial agents used was different in their activity, which ranged between 50-100%. The results of the current study concluded that probiotics had a high effectiveness to inhibit the growth (in vitro) of all pathogens compared with antibiotics. This indicated the therapeutic efficacy of probiotics.

Proximate, amino acids and fatty acids compositions of the leaves, stem and root were determined in Moringa oleifera. The proximate composition was determined in fresh samples while other parameters were determined on dry weight basis. Both crude protein and total ash followed the trend of (g/100 g): leaves > root > stem but the soluble carbohydrate had a trend of root > stem > leaves. Leaves had the highest level of total amino acids (76.4 g/100 g) and followed by the root (70.9 g/100 g) while stem had 65.4 g/100 g. For the EAA, it was 35.4 g/100 g (leaves) > 28.4 g/100 g (root) > 26.3 g/100 g (stem). The total sulphur amino acid was generally low at 2.81-3.06 g/100 g but the % Cys in TSAA was slightly high at 48.5-51.6 %. In the amino acids scores, the following amino acids had scores greater than 1.0 in comparison with whole hen’s egg: Gly (1.56-1.97), Glu (1.15-1.28), and Cys (1.14-1.16) whereas Met was the limiting amino acid in each of the three samples with values of 0.31 (leaves), 0.23 (stem) and 0.30 (root); in the pre-school children requirements, these amino acids had scores greater than 1.0: Met + Cys (1.12-1.22), Phe + Tyr (1.04-1.11) and His (1.02-1.08) whereas Lys was the limiting amino acid with values of 0.57 (leaves), 0.64 (stem) and 0.63 (root); on the provisional amino acid scoring pattern, only Phe + Tyr had scores greater than 1.0: Phe + Tyr (1.17, leaves), 1.09 (stem) and 1.10 (root), Val was the limiting amino acid here: 0.63 (leaves), 0.62 (stem) and 0.69 (root). P-PER had values of 1.60-1.72 and EAAI had values of 0.86-0.93. The samples were basically acidic with pI values of 5.4 to 5.8. The most concentrated fatty acid was SFA with values of (%): 97.5 (stem) > 58.0 (leaves) > 53.8 (root). Predominant MUFA was in root with a trend of (%): 38.7 (root) > 4.61 (leaves) > 1.00 (stem) and in PUFA, trend was 37.4 (leaves) > 7.54 (root) > 1.20 (stem). Under the fatty acid parameters, leaves were best in 4/6 (66.7 %) in EPSI, PUFA, PUFA/SFA and MUFA + PUFA whereas root was best in 2/6 (33.3 %) in LA/ALA and MUFA/SFA.

XML makes data flexible in representation and easily portable on the Web but it also substantially inflates data size as a consequence of using tags to describe data. Although many effective XML compressors, such as XMill, have been recently proposed to solve this data inflation problem, they do not address the problem of running queries on compressed XML data. More recently, some compressors have been proposed to query compressed XML data. However, the compression ratio of these compressors is usually worse than that of XMill and that of the generic compressor gzip, while their query performance and the expressive power of the query language they support are inadequate. In this paper we propose our approach a XML compressor which support querring compress XML data with partial de-compressor. Our approach address the compressor time and adaptive compression ratio of existing XML compressor.

Design of proportional integral and derivative (PID) controllers for unstable SOPTDZ (Second Order Plus Time Delay with a Zero) system with a negative/positive zero is difficult. If zero is positive, it shows an inverse response. A simple method is proposed to design proportional integral and derivative controllers for such systems. The proposed controller is applied to the various unstable transfer function models of exothermic CSTR, an isothermal CSTR carrying out an autocatalytic reaction and crystallizer. Simulation results on linear model equations of exothermic CSTR, an isothermal CSTR carrying out an autocatalytic reaction and crystallizer are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed PID controller. The performance of proposed controller in terms of integral square error (ISE), integral absolute error (IAE) and integral time weighted absolute error (ITAE) is compared with the literature reported data.

For CP73-21 sugarcane regeneration at salinity stress an experiment was conducted in 2014-2015 year, in tissue culture laboratory of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz. According to past results, 3 mg/l of 2-4D treatment was applied as callus induction treatment. Then calluses were transferred to regeneration medium. The effect of treatments was significant at 1% on indirect regeneration. In between treatments the highest of mean was related to 1 BAP + 0.2 NAA treatments, also the effect of salinity on regeneration was significant at 1%. The highest regeneration value was obtained in control and 33 mM treatments. Effect of Salinity on proline was significant at 1% and to increase the level of stress, increased proline content. In both laboratory and greenhouse conditions the investigated of traits were decreased with increasing salinity levels.

It is an attempt to present expectations of the customers towards the advertisements for televisions. And this paper concludes that there is no relationship between gender of the respondents and willingness to consider advertisements before buying a new television.

The main aim of our project is to avoid conflicts at intersections and cross sections by proposing a Safe and efficient design of Four Phase Traffic Signal. At intersections where there are large number of crossings and right turns, there will be a possibility of several accidents or traffic jams due to the in order movement of traffic especially at cross sections. The earlier practice of controlling the traffic by a traffic police using stop signs alternately at the cross roads so that one stream of traffic is allowed while the traffic flow from the other stream is stopped was quite effective. But now a days, due to the increase of traffic as well as pollution, a lot of difficulties are being faced with the employment of a traffic police. In this aspect, the same problem is been faced at Sreenivas Centre in Nandyal which is a four legged intersection. The heavy traffic flowing from bus-stand towards Atmakur and Srisailam causes a lot of conflicts in the traffic flow from Nunepally towards Gandhi Chowk and Byrmal Street . So in this connection, in order to have a pleasant and safe travel, there should be an orderly movement of traffic which is possible through signal control. So there is a strong requirement of signal regulated traffic flow for the four legged intersection at Sreenivas Centre. This project deals with the design of cycle length for the four phases by Webster method.

Human T-cell leukemia Virus (HTLV) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity rate in adults. In India the incidence of HTLV infection are 100 in 100,000. The transmission of HTLV is through unprotected sex, HTLV donor and from infected mother to baby by means of breast feeding. Transcription of HTLV provirus leads to T-cell multiplication. A study was done to determine the presence of HTLV-I infections in pregnant women during third trimester. 57 maternal samples of three trimesters were collected. The serum was separated by centrifugation and aliquot. The presence of HTLV infection was assayed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).  Seropositivity for HTLV -1 infection among the third trimester of pregnant women was found to be 2.44 %.
