Abstract: This research involves the examination of how changes occurred on land use and land cover of Kafanchan within the period of two decades (1986 – 2014). The satellite imagery used was Landsat TM for the year 1986, 2000 and Landsat ETM+ for the year 2014. These imageries were separately classified in to various land uses. The result shows a rapid growth in built-up areas from 1986 to 2007. During these years , Vegetation cover has decreased seriously from 2641.85ha in 1986 to 1182.51ha in 2014 and bare surfaces also decreased from 1837.08ha in 2000 to 913.68ha in 2014..........

Abstract: Toxicological, biochemical, histological and ultrastructural studies of the impact of the entomopathogenic fungus, Trichoderma hamatum spore suspension on the adult cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) were investigated in this study. The toxicological bioassay showed that the LC50 and LC90 against the adult aphid were 35.778 and 361.799 spores/ml of T. hamatum, respectively after 5 days post-treatment and the mortality percentages were 20.88; 26.39; 31.28 and 65.15% at 102; 103; 104 and 108spores/ml of T........

Abstract: The plantations sector holds a very vital role in economic development in Indonesia. One of them is the oil palm plantations.These commodities have a very good opportunity to be developed in the future.Various issues related to oil palm plantations of non-governmentalin the district of Seruyan include productivity bunches (fresh palm fruit) are relatively low when compared to the big companies, limited capital and skills,the bargaining position of farmers is still low in terms of determining the price of oil palm fruit, many land still do not have legal title, lack of role of cooperatives and farmer groups and the lack of attention to environmental sustainability........

Abstract: It is evident natural products, specifically dairy fats contain different CLA(conjugated linoleic acid) isomers and among them (cis9,trans11 conjugated linoleic acid )is dominant. Conjugated fatty acids ,specially octadecadienoic acid (18:2) is difficult from analysis point of view due to the mixture of positional and geometrical isomers of linoleic acid(9cis,12cis 18:2) known as CLA.CLA is formed when reaction shift one or both of the double bonds of linoleic acid..........

Abstract: The present study deals with production of cellulase enzymes from filamentous soil fungus Trichoderma atroviride by using vegetable waste as substrate through the process of solid state fermentation. The enzyme production was further improved by optimizing a number of physical parameters such as incubation time, temperature, pH, inoculums size and nutritional factors (carbon source, nitrogen source and detergents).........
