Levels of proximate and amino acid compositions were determined in Maggot meal (MM), Earthworm meal (EM) and Soybean meal (SM). Maggot meal was best in Ile, Leu, Lys, Try, Asp, Cys and Pro whereas Earth worm meal was best in Arg, His, Met, Phe, Val, Glu, Ser and Tyr while Soybean meal was only best in Gly,  when compared on pair-wise basis. The total amino acid contents were: Maggot meal (58.4g/100g crude protein), Earthworm meal (56.3g/100g crude protein) and Soybean meal (34.9g/100g crude protein) and an average of 49.9g/100g crude protein with respective essential amino acids of 34.5g/100g crude protein, 31.4g/100g crude protein and 18.3g/100gcrude protein. The Predicted Protein Efficiency Ratio (P-PER) levels were: 2.16 (Maggot meal), 1.45 (Earthworm meal) and 1.14 (Soybean meal). On average basis, the limiting amino acid based on whole hen’s egg amino acid scoring pattern and Provisional amino acids scoring pattern was threonine. However, significant differences occurred between Maggot meal/Earthworm meal (MM/EM), Maggot meal/Soybean meal (MM/SM), Quality of amino acid (QAA) of Maggot meal/ Earthworm meal (MM/EM) and Maggot meal/ Soybean meal (MM/SM) at r = 0.05 and n-2 degree of freedom. When comparing the quality of amino acids of feedstuffs on pair wise basis, the coefficients of alienation (C_A) were fairly low (24.0 - 40.7%), meaning that there is a better relationship between them while on the other hand the Index of Forecasting Efficiency (IFE) values were very high (59.4 – 76.0%) indicating that the error of prediction was very low. The three feedstuffs could then be compounded in other to employ them in feed formulation for fish, poultry and other animals.

This study is aimed at investigating the differential amount of importance which materials developers should attach to semi-technical, technical, and core vocabulary in ESP books. To do so, two major authentic introductory books prepared for the students of political science have been examined carefully in terms of their proportion of semi-technical, technical and core vocabulary. In order to examine the utility of books currently taught in the Iranian universities, two preparatory ESP books developed for the Persian students of political science were, also, scrutinized in terms of their proportion of semi-technical, technical, and core vocabulary. Put in another way, an attempt was made to investigate the degree of representativeness of ESP books in terms of the abovementioned types of vocabulary. After the word counts the authentic and ESP books were compared with each other. Results showed that the 40,000 words counted in the two authentic books were comprised of: 63% core vocabulary, 22% semi-technical vocabulary, and 15% technical vocabulary. The 40,000 words counted in the two preparatory ESP books were comprised of 56% core vocabulary, 33% semi-technical vocabulary, and 11% technical vocabulary. Results obtained from the frequency counts in this study lend support to the idea that technical vocabulary by virtue of its small proportion should not assume much import— if not ignored in its entirety. Notwithstanding, materials developers are suggested to place a higher priority on semi-technical, as this type of vocabulary is more frequent and variable.

Title: Model for reform Consumption Drug in chemical veteran Background: Drug is one of strategic goods and strategic goods are often deal with nutrition, defend & health of community and it consist of basic needs of community. Drug need in chemical ventures may undeniable but not having comprehensive knowledge about drug consumption in high risk patients may harm injuries hardly during time that one of its affects is living with intensive cares because of this reason this survey is aimed to study this rate of chemical ventures’ awareness about drug consumption and designing a model for reforming consumption. Objective: This research was aimed to study knowledge of drug consumption in chemical ventures in Nesar Direh village in the first half of 2009 solar year. Methods: This research is a case comparison study that has done with longitudinal method in the first half of 1388 in 80 chemical ventures of Nesar Direh village in Gillan-e-gharb area in Kermanshah province that separated this sample in 2 groups: 40 persons as intervened group and 40 as comparison one regarding with the same condition. Data was collected by research team with using conversation, observation, survey on documents such as medical descriptions, drugs, inpatient documents, drug basket and etc with using questionnaire and checklist that are designed by researcher (consist of 10 aspects) that is used after measuring it’s validity and reliability by professionals idea during 3 stages in 2 weeks and finally acceptance of university teachers. Finally data was analyzed with SPSS12 software and using descriptive statistics methods. Findings: findings are shown that the sex of comparison group is 18 men and 22 women and also the same in intervened group. Other details of both groups are shown in table 1. The rates of knowledge are the same in 10 aspects in both intervened and comparison group before intervention but after that this rate increased in 8 aspects but not increased in 2. Will fully drug consumption and using emergency drugs such as calming and conforming drugs are the uncontrolled factors during the research. Also the findings showed that there is significant meaning between the sex and consuming emergency drugs. Discussion & Conclusion: The results are shown that consuming drugs are critical now and guide to using maintenance system beside increasing knowledge of high risk injuries such as chemical ventures and designing a model for reforming consumption. Spending time leads Iran’s pharmaceutical system to critical path compare with other countries, in addition lead to exit money and increasing health expenses from GNP and this issue cause disability for inventing and making new drugs in Iran that are already made in the other countries.

This paper examines the process of how the local universities in Malaysia are and were trying to change their roles in the Malaysian economy in order to respond to this current development as well as the globalization of the knowledge economy. This study intends to explore the dimensions of entrepreneurial university in Malaysia and develop questionnaire to test the entrepreneurial intensity of local universities in Malaysia. In aspiring to achieve the status of a fully developed nation by 2020, tertiary education in Malaysia has been targeted to grow on its own by becoming more entrepreneurial and self-reliant. There is an urgent need for the shift from the traditional model of the universities to the new “entrepreneurial” model. The new entrepreneurial model for public universities in Malaysia is expected to be different from the universities in the advanced economies due to several reasons. The reasons include more rigid bureaucratic control by the government, emphasis on homegrown innovation and lack of commercialization demand and ability. Six main theoretical models of entrepreneurial universities were identified and in each one, there are elements or characteristics associated with the inputs as can be found in Morris’s Input-Output Perspective theoretical framework. This model will be use to measure the entrepreneurial intensity in the context of education institutions as an organization. Dimensions of entrepreneurial university in Malaysia will be explored through expert survey employing Delphi Method. Instruments to measure the entrepreneurial intensity of public universities will then be developed. This will be used to appraise the entrepreneurial intensity of the public universities in Malaysia.

Heavy metal (Cd, Sn, Hg and Pb) concentrations of canned fish sold on markets in Accra were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopic (AAS) procedures. Levels of cadmium (Cd), tin (Sn) and lead (Pb) were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS). Mercury (Hg) content was analysed by the cold vapour atomic absorption spectroscopic technique after Hg ions reduction with SnCl₂ (CV-AAS). The accuracy of the method was determined by use of a certified reference material (DORM-2 (Dogfish muscle).The average contents of heavy metals in canned fish brands were found as 10.03 mg/kg for tin, 0.11 mg/ kg for cadmium, 0.203 mg/kg for lead, and 0.04 mg/kg for mercury. Although these products pose no risk with respect to the concentrations of tin and mercury, some of the samples had contents of lead and cadmium higher than the acceptable limits. Comprehensive and intermittent monitoring of heavy metals in canned fish is needed to assess the safety of these products with respect to human health.

The method of teaching students is very important for the students’ academic achievement and general performance. This study investigated the effects of mastery learning approach on the academic achievement of Senior Secondary two students in Physics. The study was a pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental study on Physics Achievement in Ogidi Education zone of Anambra State, Nigeria. Physics Achievement Test (PAT) was used to collect data and data was analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Z-test. The result obtained revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly (P<0.05) better than the control group. The female students achieved slightly better than their male counterparts but the difference was not significant at P=0.05. Implication of the findings is that mastery learning is seen to enhance learning greatly and recommendation is that mastery learning should be encouraged for use by teachers in place of the lecture method.

The results of the study revealed that there were significant differences in perception, participation and empowerment between ethnic groups, age and education level of the participants. The study suggests a guidance for community development professionals with a strategy for assessing the community and developing a principle based approach outreach, perception and participation.

Water scarcity and drought are the main constraints of crop production. Many technologies have been developed to cope with this environmental problem. So improve crop production under limited amount of available water is a measure issue to maximize the return by unit of water (water productivity). To achieve the aforementioned objectives, two field experiments were carried out in the Experimental Farm of National Research Centre Shalkan Kalubia during the winter seasons of 2006/ 2007 and 2007/2008 to study the effect of seed inoculation with (phosphorine and cerealine) on the yield and yield components of some barley cultivars (Giza 126, Giza 130 and Giza 2000) subjected to water stress at different stages of growth (at tillering or milk- ripe stage), Data indicate that, water stress at any stage of growth (tillering or milk- ripe stage) depress most of the studied yield and yield attributes .Such effect was pronounced when barley plants were subjected to water deficit at milk- ripe stage. Dual application of biofertilizer (phosphorine and cerealine) improved yield and yield attributes of barley plants as compared with un-inoculated plants. The data also show that biofertilizers inoculation alleviate the adverse effect of water stress on barley yield. The results indicated that Giza 126 produced the highest grain yield and seed index
