The set of original, highly lipophilic ultrashort acting beta-adrenoceptor antagonists containing N-phenylpiperazine fragment, labelled as 1–4, was in vitro screened for the activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, respectively. Following the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay by the microdilution method, all the tested molecules were practically inactive against both selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains showing the MICs>1.00 mg·mL-1. From structural point of view, the presence of ester group and the position of carbamoyloxy moiety within the compounds 1–4 have appeared to be the most notable factors which have decisively influenced the effectiveness against S. aureus and E. coli compared to the importance of electronic or hydrophobic interactions, which have probably been involved by the presence of N-phenylpiperazine, with different membrane components of the bacteria. The current research has also pointed out that the increase in the lipophilicity has been regarded as favourable aspect for the potency of these compounds against C. albicans. From entire evaluated set, the molecule 4 has been considered the most active against mentioned yeast with MIC=0.78 mg·mL-1.

Websites are playing a very important role in field of information Technology. Usability is also of much importance in exploring the websites. The objective of this paper is assessing the usability of the websites of the Pakistani Universities and giving the idea of developing the websites of the universities/institutions fulfilling the user needs. Different parameters were analyzed in light of usability in the websites of different universities in Pakistan. It was evaluated that these universities websites have the errors in the parameters not following the rules of usability. The usability of websites of different universities/institutions of Pakistan can be improved applying the one rule for every factor so that the user can encounter every task easily with no tedious effort and confusion. These rules of usability should be announced by the government and the universities should be limited in these rules to facilitate the fresh and experienced users.

Handloom industry in Bangladesh is having glorious past, questionable present and blurry future due to a lot of internal and external factors that are acting behind the scene. In this paper we tried to identify the prospects of Handloom industry in Pabna, Bangladesh. In this case study we identify all the internal & external factors that are great contribution to realize the true present conditions of the Handloom industry in Pabna, Bangladesh.

An analytic function is quasi-subordinate to an analytic function , in the open unit disk if there exist analytic function and , with (0) = 0 and 1 such that Certain subclasses of analytic univalent functions associated with quasi-subordination are defined and the bounds for the Fekete-Szego coefficient functional for functions belonging to these subclasses are derived.

The centrality of lexis has been a prominent issue in lexical studies in second language learning (Richards, 1976; Ard and Gass, 1987; Willis, 1990; Clark, 1993, Coady and Huckin, 1997). This research article aims to shed light on understanding vocabulary in a different perspective by examining the nature of vocabulary through the observation of the verb pour in corpus citations. The results indicate that a large part of the grammatical aspect is lexically related. The corpus citations display the properties of the verb pour that include its various senses of meaning, syntactic structures it can fill in, typical subjects and objects they co-occur with, and argument structures. These properties generally determine the verb meaning and how it should appear in sentences and collocate with other words, and at the same time distinguish from other verbs’ behaviour.This corpus-based study confirms the unique complexity of the verb lexicon. The acquisition of lexicon is then the competence that includes the knowledge of the lexical properties. For a learner, it would imply that the encoded structural aspects should be learned as an integral part of learning vocabulary. Hence, it would render the teaching of grammar to some extent redundant.

A study was conducted to determine the interaction of roughage quality and urea-ammonization on the luminal degradation properties of low quality roughage diets. Four rumen fistulae Jersey cows were fed on a basal diet of either urea-treated or untreated Eragrostis uvula hay. These basal diets were supplemented with concentrate composed of maize meal (78%) and cotton seed cake (22%). The concentrates contributed 0, 25, 50 and 75% of the total ration and hay the rest. The experiment consisted of 6 periods. Each period lasted 19 days, comprising 12 days of adaptation to the experimental diet followed by 6 days degradability measurements and 1-day collection of rumen fluid. During each period the 4 cows were randomly allocated to 4 of the 8 dietary treatments, ensuring that each diet was fed to 3 animals during the entire experimental period. The pH of the rumen fluid ranged between 6.5 and 6.8 for all diets. Rumen ammonia (NH3) concentration was higher (P<0.002) when the basal diet consisted of urea-treated hay. Increasing the concentrate proportion in the diet had the desired effect of increasing rumen NH3 concentration without severely affecting the pH. Urea-ammonization increased (P<0.0001) the slowly degradable fraction (B), potential degradability (PD), effective degradability (ED) of dry matter (DM), decreased (P>0.05) lag time (LT) but had no effect on the rate of degradation (c) of DM. Maximum and minimum degradability values of the B-fraction, PD and ED of DM were obtained at the 25 and 75% concentrate levels, respectively for both urea-treated and untreated diets. Within urea-ammonization, roughage type increased (P<0.001) the B-fraction, PD and ED of DM. Ryegrass degraded almost three to four times faster than urea-treated oat or untreated wheat straw. Urea-ammonization was less effective in increasing DM degradation rate of ryegrass compared to wheat straw. Results show that low quality roughages such as wheat straw benefited relatively the most from urea-

“When we consider corporate morality we must conclude that no price is too high, for in the long run we have no alternative to ethical business behaviour” Fred. T. Aller. “If I were to name the deadliest subversive force within capitalism, the single greatest source of its waning morality …. I would without hesitation name “Advertising and Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC)”. How else should one identify a force that debases language, drains thought and undoes dignity. (Heilbroner .R. (1981). are prone to scrutiny by those who are concerned about the methods marketers use to sell their products and services.
