Graphite was intercalated with potassium to produce C8K intercalate which was subsequently exposed to suspension of fullerene C60 in toluene. The resulting product stabilized potassium against effects of the atmosphere. The prepared product was exposed to tests of thermal stability and other analyses, such as FT-IR, SEM and Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX) with the objective to describe arrangement of potassium in the carbon matrix. The product with stabilized potassium in a carbon skeleton (graphite – fullerite) is partly able to resist the atmosphere, it is relatively thermally stable (up to 150oC) and the energy effects of its decomposition are low up to 600oC. The product may be used in numerous applications – catalysis, hydrogen storage and as an admixture component in aerosol fire suppression systems.

Theoretical study have been done to calculated the Range for protons in ten organic compounds which is: [ polypropylene(C3H6) ,Polycarbonate (C16H14O3), Mylar (C10H8O4), Polyvinylalcohol (C2H4O), Polyoxymethylene (CH2O), by using SRIM2013 program written by Mathlab language. the range calculated to protons for energy (1000-100000) keV , by using fitting equations and the semi empirical equation (Devise two equation), and we calculated the rate error and correlation coefficient betweenRange(SRIM) and Range(semi-emp) as seen in tables by using Excel program. The results are agreed with the SRIM 2013 program, so our results showed to be good.

The potential advantages of sperm cryopreservation have not been fully accomplished due to the limiting detrimental effects the freezing process has on sperm structure and composition. Previous studies have suggested that cells suffer lipid peroxidation damage during the cryopreservation process, specifically indicating the damage results from mechanical stress during the preparatory and freezing processes. In this present study, sperm samples were analyzed for lipid stability throughout sample processing through evaluations for lipid peroxidation and lipid free radical concentration. Our analysis was completed in three experiments. In Exp. #1, lipid stability levels were evaluated from five separate boar ejaculates frozen using three different freezing methods to compare cryopreservation techniques. In Exp. #2, lipid peroxidation amounts for fresh post-ejaculate and albumin extended boar samples were compared. Experiment #3 involved evaluations of the semen processing to examine sample and seminal fluid alterations. Samples tested from the freezing protocol included fresh, extended, addition of a wash buffer, cooling to 17 ºC, centrifugation, addition of two egg-yolk extenders, cooling to 5 ºC and postthaw values. Though there was no difference between the three freezing treatments, significant differences were noted between the fresh and extended samples (P < 0.001). These findings were exemplified by the step by step analysis of the processing and freezing protocol. The lipid peroxidation amounts accumulated after each the procedural step (P < 0.001). Significant differences were also observed in the lipid radical levels (P < 0.001). The results of the pre-freezing protocol, alterations in lipid stability do not appear to be due to thermal or mechanical stress. The largest gains of both lipid parameters developed after the addition of an egg-yolk freezing extender. The results suggest further studies in alterative extenders are needed.

The health of a family of six residing in a water-damaged home is presented. The family consisted of the parents (age 29) two boys (ages 8 and 12) and new born fraternal twins (male and female. The parents and two boys developed RADS/asthma and had multiple symptoms including nose bleeds.The fraternal twins experienced respiratory illness that required hospital treatments. The infant girl survived while her brother was found face down, blue in color, lifeless with oral and nasal blood discharge. Pathology demonstrated areasof peribronchial inflammation, intra-alveolar, and numerous hemosiderin laden macrophage (hemosiderosis). Environmental evaluation of the home revealed Stachybotrys, Aspergillus/Penicillium, Cladosporium and Chaetomium in various rooms of the home. Mycotoxins detected in the home included Sterigmatocystin, 5 methoxy-sterigmatocystin Roquefortine C, Satratoxin G and H, Roridin E and L-2, isosatratoxin Fas well as other Stachybotrys secondary metabolites. Aspergillus versicolor was identified by PCR-DNA analysis in the lungs and brain of the deceased child. Aflatoxin was detected in his lungs, while monocyclic trichothecenes were identified in the lungs, liver and brain. The literature is briefly reviewed on the subject of fungi and their secondary metabolites present in water-damaged homes and buildings.

In this study, using differential transform method second order complex differential equation system was solved. Firstly we seperated real and imaginer parts these equations system. Thus from two unknown equation system four equality was obtained. Later using two dimensional differential transform we obtained real and imaginer parts of solutions.

The study intends to investigate the determinants of gross domestic investments in Pakistan from the period of 1973 to 2010. All the annual time series of data have been extracted from the valid sources like; Business Recorder and State Bank of Pakistan. In order to assess their behavior over the time, and to evaluate how these variables have either hindered or encouraged the growth of investment in Pakistan’s economy. Domestic investment in Pakistan is stimulated by real GDP growth as well as with the expansion of exports of goods and services. Moreover, the flow of FDI in Pakistan is “crowd in” domestic investment. The development of financial sector and human capital is vital for economic escalation in country. However, the stimulation in formal credit and formation of industrial capital may lead towards promulgation in domestic investments. The Pakistan’s economic environment demands massive level of domestic investments which lead towards capital formation and economic progression.

Background: Despite recent declines in global HIV/AIDS mortality, HIV/AIDS was still the fifth leading cause of global DALYs in 2010. The distribution of HIV/AIDS burden is not equal across regions and different population segments. Sub Saharan countries are disproportionately affected from the disease despite. In 2012; roughly 25 million people were living with HIV in the region, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the global total.People in the military are part of a social group with particular risk factors of isolation, often being far from home, working in extremely stressful environments, so that are at higher risk of sexual transmitted diseases including the non curable disease, AIDS. Objectives: To assess consistent condom use and associated factors among military personnel in Western Command in Bahir Dar City, in 2013. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2013 among 898 military personnel in Western command in Bahir Dar City, North west Ethiopia. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses with SPSS version 16 software package.Results: This study revealed that the prevalence of consistent condom use among Western command force in Ethiopia was 59.4%. Consistent condom use among armed force of western command was significantly associated with sex of the respondents (AOR = 2.05, 95%, CI = (1.16, 3.63), educational status of the armed force (AOR = 0.63, 95%, CI = (0.45, 0.89) and (AOR= 0.55, 95%, CI = (0.34, 0.91) and Marital status of the respondents (AOR=1.51, 95%CI= (1.07, 2.15).Conclusion: The overall prevalence of consistent condom use among Western command in Ethiopia was very low and the main predictors of consistent condom use were found to be sex, educational level, and marital status. Therefore, interventions targeting sex, educational status and marital status are recommended.

The traditional administrative and social model of the Nordic countries, called “the Nordic model”, arrived politically after the Second World War in the wake of the brake-through of Keynesian economic theory. Typically for this model was that it favored extensive state intervention to achieve full employment and social redistribution. It aimed at maintaining effective demand not only by economic intervention but also by regulation for social equality and fairness. Strong employee and trade unions were part of this model. Political stability was the outcome of this policy. The Nordic welfare model is often called the «the Keynesian welfare state». The universal welfare arrangement and social security scheme of the model continued flourish until the brake through of neo liberalism. Over the last twenty years the Anglo-Saxon neo-liberalism has penetrated the Nordic countries step by step with the consequence of threatening the model itself. First and foremost, this penetration is found as policies for the breakdown of public service monopolies, privatization, the exposure of public sector activities to market competition, and lastly the liberalization of the labor market. As political rhetoric the Nordic universal welfare state and social security scheme continues; but what about the institutional reality? The discussion in this paper is about how long the Nordic model could be said to be a survivor. For the time being it is the ideology of neo liberalism which guides social and administrative model arrangements in Europe, including the Nordic countries, led to a large extent by the EU.

Aim: A comparative study of immunohistochemical, hematoxylin & eosin staining and its diagnostic importance in Hirschsprung’s disease.Material and Methods: The study of 510 patients comprised colorectal, appendicectomy biopsies and myectomy specimens at various levels. The study included both ganglionic and aganglionic segments of intestine. The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin solution. In the laboratory, the sections of paraffin embedded tissues were stained H & E and compared with Cathepsin D; repeated sections were taken from these cases for the demonstration of H & E and Cathepsin D.Results: In our study of 357 cases, 223 are male children and 74 are female children (Male: Female ratio-3:1). Short segment was the most commonly occurring type constituting 229 cases (64%), while long segment was 77 cases (21.5%). The less common is the total colonic aganglionosis constituting 21 cases (5.8%).Conclusions: Cathepsin D is equally good like Acetyl cholinesterase and can be used as a reliable immune-histo chemical stain in detecting immature ganglion cells..

Today, because of the vulnerability of standard authentication system, law-breaking has accumulated within the past few years. Identity authentication that relies on biometric feature like face, iris, voice, hand pure mathematics, handwriting, retina, fingerprints will considerably decrease the fraud, so that they square measure being replaced by identity verification mechanisms. Among bioscience, fingerprint systems are one amongst most generally researched and used. it's fashionable due to their easy accessibility. Moreover in this work the system modified to an adaptive system i.e intelligent by using neural networks.
