Prevalence And Knowledge Of Brucellosis In Dairy Cattle In Makuyu Division, Murang’A County, Kenya, Dr. Michael N. Gicheru, Dr. Eric Mwangi, Mwangi Rachel Mbaire Dec 2015

Prevalence And Knowledge Of Brucellosis In Dairy Cattle In Makuyu Division, Murang’A County, Kenya, Dr. Michael N. Gicheru, Dr. Eric Mwangi, Mwangi Rachel Mbaire

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

Brucellosis is a cosmopolitan zoonotic disease that affects man, domestic animals and wildlife. The bacteria Brucella abortus is the principle cause of brucellosis in cattle. The incidence of the disease in humans, and which directly relates to that in other animals, is highly dependent on animal husbandry practices, the interaction between humans and animals, living standards, hygiene, food customs, and animal and human population density. Makuyu Division where the study was undertaken experiences hot and dry climate, the area has no permanent rivers and domestic water is obtained from boreholes. Most families live in congested homes and are provided with …


Transforming Growth Factor Betas Induce Mmp-2 And Mmp-9 Secretion Via Smad-Dependent Signaling In Human Endometrial And Endometriotic Cells, Ezekiel O. Mecha, Cong Sui, Charles O.A . Omwandho, Hans-Rudolf Tinneberg, Lutz Konrad Dec 2015

Transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-βs) are elevated during menstruation and are involved in endometriosis. Similarly, matrix metalloproteinases like MMP-2 are also highly expressed in patients with endometriosis. Expression of gelatinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, is increased by TGF-βs. TGF- βs bind and activate receptor-mediated Smad proteins to mediate gene expression, however, also non-Smad signaling pathways participate in signal transduction of the TGF-βs. In this study, we found that of MMP-2 and MMP-9 is higher in stromal cells especially in endometriotic cells compared to epithelial cells. Treatment of endometrial and endometriotic stromal and epithelial cells with TGF-β1 or TGF-β2 decreased cell numbers, induced …


A Study On Garments Dyeing With Direct Dyes And Pigments In Bangladesh, Tanushree Saha, Rasheda Begum Dina Aug 2015

Garment dyeing has been practiced for many years, both commercially and as a home procedure. Recently, interest in this technique has increased since it makes possible to give rapidest response to consumer demand, reduces lead times and inventory. To establish a profitable garment dyeing plant, all manufacturing steps must be carefully controlled. In this paper, we have tried to give an idea about the process of using different types of dyes in garments dyeing and their fastness properties.


Effect Of Fibre Blend Ratios On Yarn Properties, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, A. Ghosh, M. Raihan Apr 2015

Effect Of Fibre Blend Ratios On Yarn Properties, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, A. Ghosh, M. Raihan

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

Yarn properties can be altered through blending fibres. According to the requirement different properties can be achieved by different blending ratios. Among the different blends cotton and polyester, cotton and wool, wool and acrylic, cotton and nylon, jute and acrylic, cotton and rayon etc are common. Flax and polyester has been a popular blend now-adays and depicts excellent properties than their individual yarn properties. Different proportion of flax and polyester has been tested to observe the yarn properties and it is found that polyester was perfectly fits with low proportion of flax. Their blends with specific ratios exhibit excellent properties …


Production And Purification Of Tannase From Aspergillus Aculeatus Using Plant Derived Raw Tannin, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, Jasbir Bagga, Soumya Kanti Pramanik, Vibha Pandey Feb 2015

Production And Purification Of Tannase From Aspergillus Aculeatus Using Plant Derived Raw Tannin, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, Jasbir Bagga, Soumya Kanti Pramanik, Vibha Pandey

Tannase, an enzyme with immense potential has lot of applications in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. During the present study, tannin content of different plant materials was determined. Tannase has been produced from Aspergillus aculeatus through fermentation of tannin rich plant materials. Among the plant materials used, Cassia ciamia gives better result. Maximum oxygen is utilized by the organism after 24 h of growth. pH of the fermented broth falls to 4.1 after 28 h of growth. Organism utilizes wheat bran as a solid substrate to produce maximum tannase. Maximum enzyme production through solid state fermentation was achieved after …

The “Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals” (GHS) not only provides a unified system for dealing with the labeling of intrinsic materials and compound chemicals but also furnishes hazard information to the contingency personnel, work site workforce, transportation workforce and consumers for the prevention of acute and chronic health impairments as well as ecological hazards. Since 2008, the GHS has gradually been observed internationally to substitute the classification and labeling of hazardous substances, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and relevant regulations on hazardous chemicals which are currently used by many countries; substantial influences have been seen …

The dynamic responses of finite element model do not match with those of the experimental results due to modeling and measurement errors. It is impractical to collect the data for the full set of DOFs of a dynamic system. And there are some cases to have difficulty in measuring the response such as slope. This work presents an analytical method to estimate the frequency response function (FRF) at the unmeasured nodes of the actual system. The method is derived by minimizing the discrepancy between the analytical and actual FRF data sets dividing into the real and imaginary parts. The validity …
