In this study the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon subjected to lead nitrate toxicity under three sublethal concentrations (1.66,3.33 and 6.60 mg/L )for 24 hrs, 48 hrs 72 hrs and 96 hrs . The vital organs Muscle and Hepatopancreas were dissected from tiger shrimp and processed for biochemical assay .The results of Lead nitrate treated Shrimp shows a decrease in the level of Protein, Carbohydrate and Lipid comparing to the control Shrimp. The depletion results of Protein in Muscle from 65.22 to 60.45 percent ,Carbohydrate from 15.10 to12.10 percent and Lipid from 09.00 to 06.60 percent, similarly the hapatopancreas shows depletion of protein from57.48 to50.50 percent ,Carbohydrate from 18.57 to 14.42 percent and Lipid shows from 19.20 to 15.86 percent This shows depletion of three biochemical components due to the impact of Lead nitrate toxicity . Impact of Lead nitrate leads to active depletion of biochemical components of protein carbohydrate and Lipid resulting in accelerated metabolism.

There are many changes occurring in higher education in Kenya and the world over. These changes range from a rapid expansion in student enrolments to a proliferation of programmes and institutions offering higher education. Moi University introduced such a programme in 1998. As a result of these developments, there has arisen concern amongst the stakeholders on the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of higher education offered. The paper reports the findings of an investigation carried out in the year 2003 to determine the internal efficiency of the Privately Sponsored Students Programme at Moi University. The target population for the study was all the students enrolled in the privately Sponsored Students Programme at Moi University in the 2002/2003 academic year. Data for this study was collected by use of a questionnaire from a random sample of 300 respondents. The significant finding was Privately Sponsored Programmes operated below optimal efficiency levels. Although enrolment growth rates had been steady in the immediate past three academic years, dropping out, temporary withdrawal and other indicators of inefficiency were on the increase and therefore a source of concern. Different degree programmes demonstrated different levels of efficiently in the way they translated their inputs (students) into outputs (graduands). Students with outstanding fees balances were barred from graduating. Also, it was established that many critical performance inputs were lacking or in short supply, such as library books and journals, computers, furniture in lecture rooms and chemicals in laboratories. To reduce these inefficiencies, there is need to enhance provision of critical inputs like books and journals, computers and science equipment as well as various consumables items. There is also need to assist students to identify suitable accommodation places. In order to break barriers of suspicion between regular and self-sponsored students (PSSP) the University should work towards integrating the two groups of student as far as possible.

matching of Surah Anam, between interpretation Lahiji and Meybodi, from their verses, sayings and quotations, grammatical problems, syntax and vocabulary, and in general, similarities and differences between these two interpretations, the subject of this investigation. Language of thought story, and his thought is language. Therefore, he expressed that the effects of language, reveal the speaker's ideational system. Meybodi is, Ashari Muslim, a follower of followers of hadith. This, in his interpretation, especially in the second innings, color and smell interpretation is clear. Lahiji, Shiite scholars is that, in place of interpretation and translation bottlenecks, and perfect knowledge of the sayings of the Imams (as) rivals, so his speech is authentic. Language is both simple interpretation, although Meybodi language because of aging, language preference, enjoying the literary spirit, and speak the language heravi Lahiji complicated. Meybodi id noted Scholar that sometimes, in the second innings, his speech is adorned with the ornament of rhyme, but Lahiji of less verbal arrangements, benefited.

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of the Oracle VirtualBox and VMWare virtualization technologies. The study focuses on the performance of disk I/O, memory and CPU operations under virtualization infrastructures. This performance is measured by benchmarking tools like Iozone for disk I/O performance, RAMspeed for memory performance and UnixBench for CPU performance. Results of benchmarking tools will identify which technology is better than other and in what respect.

Obesity is now a common childhood disease and is widely acknowledged as having become a global epidemic. There are well-recognized health consequences of childhood obesity, both during childhood and adulthood, affecting health and psychological welfare. Childhood obesity is a risk factor for adult morbidity and mortality, independent of body mass index (BMI) in adulthood, family history of cardiovascular disease or cancer, and smoking. The present study was designed with the objectives to study contributing factors of childhood obesity like genetic, environmental, behavioral, metabolic, biochemical and social factors and its relationship. Hence, this research investigates the most contributing / impactful factor of childhood obesity using Induced Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (IFCMs). IFCMs are a fuzzy-graph modeling approach based on expert’s opinion. This is the non-statistical approach to study the problems with imprecise information.

Information on social media platforms suffers from a relative lack of professional gatekeepers to monitor content. Therefore, credibility and privacy on social media platform has become important issues for today information consumers. This study aims at exploring Saudi Youths' trends toward some social networking issues which are credibility, and privacy and how their awareness of these controversial issues affect their use of social media. The study is based on a survey with a sample size of 300 young people from Saudi university. The findings indicate that Saudi students reported that the information found on social network sites are not credible, and they are worried about their privacy when using any social network sites.

Lesson interpretation is an effective teaching and research activity performed by teachers. Physics teachers’ lesson interpretation aims to represent, explain or translate content and knowledge of physic by their own strategies and methods. Lesson interpretation has played a leading role in educating normal students in physics. In order to cultivate excellent physics teachers, normal universities should strengthen the teaching and practice of lesson interpretation.

In the digital age, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is benefiting billions across the world by bridging certain gaps and multiplying human potential in every walk of life. Digital services provision that is being developed for our society has enormous positive potential. The internet has revolutionized the way businesses approach and conduct work. For consumers, the idea of purchasing online is appealing for several reasons. A well designed and implemented e-commerce system can lower transaction costs, reduce inefficiencies, promote better information flow, and encourage better co-operation between buyers and sellers. With little more than a click of a mouse, business can communicate, engage in commerce, and expand their business opportunities. At the same time, there are certain social, political, and economic implications being observed globally either in the form of ‘spying websites’ like ‘wikileaks’ hacking activities or cybercrimes against women. Along with promoting the use of Information and Communication technologies since their inception, countries have been looking at ways to counteract the negatives simultaneously.

The study is on the determinants of factors affecting net return of tomato in Owerri metropolis of Imo State, Nigeria, A sample size of 60 tomato traders of 30 wholesalers and 30 Retailers were randomly selected .Simple descriptive statistics, marketing margin tool and net return model were used to analyze the data. The study showed that traders were faced with several constraints and the major one in the study area was hourly fluctuation in market prices, Based on the findings, marketers were advised to belong to cooperative were they can together build adequate storage facility for their produce.

Investigation was carried out to study the effect of the forward speed and tire inflation pressure of the farm tractor on gross power losses, and tractive efficiency. The studied variables are the equipment (moldboard plough, disk plough and disk harrow), tire inflation pressure (80, 140 and 160 kPa) and five different forward speeds (3.86, 4.18, 4.76, 5.82 and 7.21 km/h). The ploughing depths were (15-20 cm) and average soil moisture content (14.56 %). the soil texture was found to be a (Clay). The study was focus on the rate of drawbar pull, drawbar specific fuel consumption, travel redaction (slip), tractive efficiency and gross power losses. The experiment was carried out by using split-split plot with complete randomized block design in three replicates. The obtained results, for the range of tests, showed that the use of 80 kPa tire inflation pressure superposed the (140 and 160 kPa), in recording lowest rate of slip (6.31 %), and higher rate of drawbar pull (16.097 kN). The forward speed (3.86 km/h) superposed in recording lowest rate of gross power losses (5.29 kW), and higher rate of tractive efficiency (74.017 %) and drawbar specific fuel consumption (0.98 l/kW.h). While the fifth forward speed (7.21 km/h) was superior on other forward speed in recording higher rate of drawbar pull (17.12 kN), in the meantime the moldboard plough recorded higher rate of tractive efficiency (75.37 %) and drawbar pull (20.69 kN), While the use of disk harrow recording lowest rate of slip (4.898 %) and power losses (7.40 kW). The relationship fits the experimental data on studying the effect of tire inflation pressure (I.P) and forward speed (FS) on reduce of gross power losses (Lpower) by prediction regression equations.
