Shortened Telomere Length in White Blood Cells of Patients with Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM)
Type 2 diabetes(TIIDM) aging-related disorder, is caused by a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and ?-cell dysfunction .Recent evidence, however, suggests that TIIDM is additionally characterized by impaired ?-cell regeneration and reduced ?-cell mass .Shortened telomeres have been previously associated with diabetes in several small-scale studies(Zhu et al.,2011). Measurement of telomere length in diabetic patients in different age and different duration of disease and compared with control. Also included the comparison telomere length between male and female for both control and diabetic groups and between patients from genetic origin (mother origin or father origin) and patients from non genetic origin. Genomic DNA was prepared from whole blood extraction using genaid kit and was quantified by Nanodrop .Terminal restriction fragment (TRF) lengths were measured using the Southern-blotting technique .This study was conducted between November 2010- November 2012 and, it was carried out at the diabetic Centre / Merjan Teaching Hospital in Babel Province by taking 54 diabetic patients(Type II DM) with disease duration (0-5),(>5-10 )and (>10 )years ,with age average (35-65 year)and most of them were on oral hypoglycemic drugs. While the study included 18 people apparently healthy that included 9 male and 9 female with age average (35-65 year). The study revealed that telomere length(TL) were differences between males and females of control group. Age- adjusted telomere length were shorter in males than in females of control subjects (13,200 bp ) vs. (11,600 bp), (14,200 bp) vs. (13,000 bp) and (15,100 bp) vs. (13,800 bp),and this differences in TL between males and females decreased as aging increased, while this gender differences in TL was not observed among the diabetic patients .In both the controls group and diabetic subjects, the telomere length were shorter in older subjects than younger for both males and females.

Efficiency of Using Smart-Mobile Phones in Accessing Agricultural Information by Smallholder Farmers in North Kordofan – Sudan
The access to agricultural information in Sudan continues to be challenging to farmers due to use of inadequate sources and traditional extension approaches. The rapid growth of smart-mobile phones usage in developing countries resulted in several advantages compared to other alternatives in term of costs, geographic coverage and ease of use. This research was conducted in North Kordofan Sate to explore the role of smart-mobile phone in accessing agricultural information. Primary data were obtained by structured questionnaires and focus group discussion through participatory rural appraisal and observation while secondary data were collected from scientific journals, books and authenticated web sources. A number of 230 respondents (10% from total farmers) were interviewed and five focus group discussions were done. Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 22 was used to analyze the data with aid of descriptive statistics and Chi-squire Test. The result indicated that most of the respondents fall in age group between 21-40 years, and they depend on farm activity. There was 90% of farmers processed mobile phone since more than three years ago, 90.8%continuedto use smart mobile phone to access agricultural information and showed positive contribution towards income generation. The results also revealed that there was positive perception towards using mobile phones which showed more efficient in use than radio and TVs. The results showed great advantages of using smart mobile phone where 75.2 % of respondents preferred to get agricultural information, logistics and other needs through successful communication in the mid of agricultural season. Results of Chi-squire test showed significant differences between the parameters tested. The study recommended that farmers should be connected with mobile phones to admit ease communication with agricultural extension offices and quick access to their needs and logistics.

Unsteady MHD free convective flow along a vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium with heat generation, variable suction and chemical reaction effects
A two-dimensional laminar unsteady MHD free convective heat and mass transfer flow past a vertical porous plate immersed in a porous medium has been studied numerically in presence of chemical reaction, heat generation and variable suction. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of self-similar equations using the similarity transformations. The resultant equations are then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The effects of governing physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration as well as skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are computed and presented in graphical and tabular forms. Comparisons with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement.

An Experimental Study on Compressive Strength of Sustainable Concrete using Ceramic Waste as Partial Replacement of Cement
The transformation from a conventional consumption based society to a sustainable society is urgently required due to the pollution of the natural environment, the exhaustion of the natural resources and the decreasing capacity of the final waste disposal facilities. One of the ways to solve this problem is to use ceramic waste (CW) concrete as partial replacement with cement in structural concrete. Also to develop a sustainable concrete using new supplementary cementitious material (SCM) like ceramic waste powder which is produced from ceramic tiles at the manufacturing process and dismantled tiles, broken pieces of tiles and it was partially replaced with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC).Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compressive strength to the conventional concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for 7 and 28 days. As a result, the compressive strength achieved up to 30% replacing cement with ceramic waste. This research work is concerned with the experimental investigation on strength of concrete and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of ceramic waste. Keeping all this view, the aim of the investigation is to study the behavior of concrete while replacing the ceramic waste with different proportions in concrete.

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell renal cell carcinoma : Case report and Literature review
Mucinous tubular and spindle cell renal cell carcinoma is a rare tumor described in the 2004 WHO classification as a new entity with an indolent clinical course. In this study, we report the case of a 60-year-old man with a large mass involving the upper pole of the left kidney. The patient underwent left radical nephrectomy. The histological findings showed it to be a mucinous tubular and spindle cell renal cell carcinoma of grade 1 of Fuhrman’s classification with hilar infiltration. Because of the favorable outcome of this histological entity, mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma must be differentiated from papillary renal cell carcinoma, especially from the variant with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation. The aim of this work is to draw the attention of pathologists and clinicians to this new entity, and the importance of its diagnosis for the patient’s prognosis.

Quantization of Friction for NANO Isolated Systems
A wide variety of materials have mechanical friction. This friction plays an important role in determine the mechanical properties and the electrical properties of the matter. The most popular physical theory that is used to describe the physical properties of matter is quantum mechanics. Recently quantum laws found to be incapable of describing the behavior of some new materials like super conductors and Nano materials. This may be attributed to the fact that quantum laws have no terms sensitive to friction. This work aims to derive Schrodinger quantum equation having frictional term. This equation is used to solve the problem of particle in a box. The solution shows quantized frictional energy.
