Abstract: Maritime terrorism is here to stay and rather ironically, the jurisprudential regimeii at the International Level is effete to state the least. The causative factors, vis a vis, maritime terrorism, are relatable to political and/or ideological moorings that are geared to cause destruction at sea. Since 9/11 there has been a plethora of terror attacks that are land-based, and Europe, Asia and India in particular has been at the receiving end. From London to Kashmir, and from Mumbai to Manila, terror acts have been eventuated on by rabid ideological outfits and as a matter of detail, in matters to do with the Mumbai attacks, the sea was used to carry the bombs et al, from Pakistan, and thereafter prime targets in Mumbai were attacked. Nonetheless, insightful research points to.........

Keywords: This Article, quintessentially, aims tohighlight various extant lacunae, in terms of security lapses and the effete jurisprudence in all things to do with deep-sea rigging and whilst doing so, the vulnerabilities are showcased

[2]. As an indicative reference point, the glaring lacuna in the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea is that nowhere in the convention documents is there a delineation on the kind of safeguarding measures that a coastal state can get to effectuate inside the zones of safety, and as a natural corollary, given that numerous deep-sea rigs dot the exclusive economic zones, handling security matters astutely would be directly proportional to the level of safety provided by the respective coastal states.
[3]. Challenges can be faced only by an understanding of international law, external (foreign\) affairs law and national security law. Unison of effort is required by all the stakeholders responsible for addressing international legal challenges. There is a dire necessity at the present time to promote a much greater understanding of the legal issues that pose global challenges – as an example, the civil liabilities in the aftermath of Maritime.......

Abstract: The hand and foot dimensions are important in forensics and ergonomics as they can be used to identify victims of mass disasters, estimate height of individuals and also to produce good fitting hand gloves and foot wears. The aim of this study was to correlate and compare the hand and foot dimensions of Obudu people of Cross River State. A total of 500 subjects (300 males and 200 males), aged 20-40 years were used for this study. Hand length was measured from the wrist to the tip of the longest finger, with hand extended. Hand breadth was measured from the head of the first metacarpal to the head of the fifth metacarpal. Foot length was measured in centimeters using a meter rule from the traced foot outline of the subject, which was traced with the subjects standing erect and their foot placed on a flat surface; the foot breadth was measured using a sliding calipers with the foot placed on a flat surface......

Abstract: Background: Agriculture is one of the most important sources of national income for Egypt. But it is one of the most important human activities contaminated watercourses. Egypt suffers from a severe shortage, that reflected on the water quality and the amount of pollution in the watercourses. Several studies have shown the contamination of many watercourses in Egypt with different nitrogen forms. The advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) one of the most competent methods in the disposal of pollutants. The effect of AOPs using UV, UV/H2O2, Fenton and photo-Fenton treatment on disposal NH3 were investigated at laboratory scale. Experiments were conducted to optimize the operating variables like pH, H2O2 conc. and H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio. Results: The........

Abstract: Leganariabreviflora and Leganariasiceraria fruits have been found to be alternative remedies in medicinebut there is little documentation of the oil from their seeds. This research was carried out to determine the composition of oils extracted from the two seeds, compare and ascertain the oils are edibile . Oils were extracted from dehusked seeds of the two samples,washed , sun dried, the dried seeds were blended into powdery forms and oil extraction was done using sohxlet extractor. The result showed that acid , Iodine,peroxide and free fatty acid values were slightly higher in Leganariabreviflora compared to L.siceraria which had higher content of unsaponifiable matter,peroxide and free fatty acids. It was also observed that L. breviflora seed oil had higher values of........

Abstract: Groundwater is vulnerable to contamination by anthropological activities. Vulnerability mapping is considered as a fundamental aspect of groundwater management. The aim of this study was to estimate aquifer vulnerability by applying the DRASTIC and GOD models in F'kirina agricultural plain northern Algeria. The DRASTIC model uses seven environmental parameters (depth to water, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of vadose zone, and hydraulic conductivity) to characterize the hydrogeological setting and evaluate aquifer vulnerability. GOD is an overlay and index method designed to map groundwater vulnerability over large regions based on three........

Abstract: Barua Sagar is a historical place located about 25km from Jhansi in UttarPradesh, India. It is situated on the bank of the betwa river , the place is named after the Barua Sagar Lake, the largest century old lake created by Raja Udit Singh of Orchha. In present investigation the physico-chemical characteristics, pollution studies of lake have been studied. Water samples have been collected from five different point of lake from January 2013 to June 2013. Monthly changes in physico- chemical parameters such as water , temperature, pH, turbidity, transparency, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, fluorides, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand were analyzed. The results indicated that physico-chemical parameters of the water were effected by the anthropogenic activities and can be used for domestic, irrigation, agriculture and pisciculture after proper management.

Abstract: In this research, an attempt has been made to evaluate the influence of short term rainfall on the embankment stability with Seep/W & Slope/W numerical finite element software to see the development of seepage pattern and stability condition due to infiltration of rainwater on the embankment slope. Pore water pressure (P.W.P.) development and their influence on the embankment stability are also evaluated by using 2011 monsoonal rainfall data. It is clearly established from these analyses that short term antecedent rainfall event due to recent climate change play an important role on the embankment failure mechanism. It is also observed that there is an influence of suction on the stability &suction value gradually reduced during raining. A variation of thefactor of safety (Fs) value from.......

Abstract: The nutrient composition and organoleptic properties of porridges produced from millet, pigeon pea and crayfish flours were investigated. The millet flour was combined with pigeon pea and crayfish flours in the ratios of 90:5:5, 80:15:5, 70:20:10, 60:25:15, and 50:30:20 and used in the preparation of porridges. The proximate, mineral, vitamin and sensory properties of the porridges were evaluated using standard analytical methods. The protein, fat, ash and energy contents of the samples increased significantly (p<0.05) from 9.09±0.18−17.14 ±0.40%, 1.30±0.03−3.19±0.10%, 3.10±0.074.14±0.03% and 346.78±1.14362.07±2.64 KJ/100g, respectively.......

Abstract: Dhaka has emerged as a fast-growing megacity in recent times, which eventually results in urban heat island (UHI) formation. This study showed that during the period 1985-2015 population has increased dramatically and reached to around 18 million in 2014 that increased the temperature of the city. In 2014, the maximum temperature has increased by 3.6°C compared to 1985 when the total population was around 5 million. Rapid infrastructural development (building) under the real estate authorities from 1990 to 2014 occupied the blue-green resources (wetlands and green spaces) in and around the city and results in increased temperature. The total number.......

Abstract: 'Wesafu', a cichlid fish found in Epe lagoon, Lagos has the attribute of deep body and grows to 1,500g in the wild. Some studies have been carried out on the protein profiling, breeding and molecular characterization of this cichlid by many workers. The present study evaluates the weight variation of the eggs, fry and post fry of the cichlid.The experiment involved single pair mating of gravid broodstock (143.1-310.6g) in triplicate batches in 1m x1m x1m installed in 0.1ha earthen fish pond. Female broodstock were divided into 4 groups based on weight: less.......
