Abstract: The aims of the research is to describes the main chemical aspect of Asam-Asam River in South Kalimantan. Water sampled from five zone along Asam-Asam River, and chemical compound of sampled water was analyzed descriptively. Result of the study shows that The sediment texture of Asam- Asam River were dominated by sands, followed by clay and dust. This research found the water sample from zone 2 has the highest organic level (3.64%), followed by zone 3 (2.31%), zone 4 (2.24%), zone 1 (1.70%), and zone 5 (1.28%). The high level of C-organic in zone 2........

Abstract: This study is to find out how difficult it is to combat modern desertification of Iraqi soil. In an experiment conducted in the field of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, using sand soil brought from Najaf province, Simple tools were used to replace the coccon container, used in different parts of the world but not in Iraq. The form of cake industry has been modified for use in the experiment after it has been wrapped in nylon so that the aluminium does not react with the water, it is equipped with a thick thread with high absorption capacity. Three parameters.....

Abstract: Large amount of feather waste is generated every year by poultry processing plant. A small portion of feather waste is steamed, incinerated or chemically treated. Keratin from feathers can be biodegraded by some keratinolytic bacteria which serves as an alternate method. In this study keratin degrading bacteria were isolated from mangrove soil near Thane creek, Mumbai, (India). The production of feather Hydrolysate was investigated for its protein content, Nitrogen content, antioxidant activity, invitro digestibility and phosphorus content. Isolate was identified to be Bacillus cereus CC-1 which degraded 90% of feather in 4 days. The crude enzyme showed good protease........

Abstract: This paper examined the association of youths' harassment of developers (locally tagged land grabbing) with housing development and delivery in the major urban towns of Anambra State, namely: Awka, Nnewi, and Onitsha within the period 2007 - 2017 with a view to proffering measures that can reduce the menace to the barest minimum. This will go a long way to enhance achievement of the much needed increase in the supply of housing accommodation in Anambra State to meet demand following uncontrollable urbanization and population growth of the major urban towns in the state. A sample of 334 professionals made up of 292 Legal Practitioners and 42.......

Abstract: The presentstudy investigatesthe utilization of rice husk for removal of nickel from metal injection molding industry effluent. Batch adsorption process was carried out with initial concentration of nickel by varying amount of adsorbent, pH, reaction time under constant shaking of 100 ml sample in heavy rotatory shaking apparatus for 2 hours. Analysis of physicochemical parameters was also carried out. The result revealed that adsorbent was found to be efficient in removal of Nickel. About 92.32% of nickel was eliminated by8gm of Rice husk per 100ml of 50% concentrated effluent in 2hours treatment period at pH9. Characterization of rice husk was performed by powder X- Ray diffraction and to know the size, compositions, and crystal structure SEM and BET analysis has been conducted.......

Abstract: In order to realize PT PJB UP Gresik commitment as a green and clean power company, the management perform water conservation program. On the other hand, PT. PJB UP Gresik has a commitment to maintain the reliability of the unit. During plant operation, the quality of water at outlet WTP depend on the WTP process it self and also incoming water to WTP. The incoming water may be contaminated by water impurities such as oil, corrosion material, foulant, etc. and enter to 500 KL make up water tank. The contaminated make up water tanks will be disposed to maintain the reliability of the power plant production process. To prevent this occurrence, additional measurement as protection system to prevent water pollution enter the make-up water tank is necessary. This paper will describe the success story about implementation IoT based measurement of water......

Abstract: This research was carried out by PT PJB UP Gresik Power Plant, Gresik, Indonesia to support Indonesian sustainable development goals (SDGs), The goal of this program is to provide sustainability of coral reef by changing the conventional anchor to floating anchor.The benefit of utilization of floating anchors for fishermen as a form of coral reef conservation on the coast of the Bawean island can be seen that the utilization of floating anchors on Bawean island has the huge potential benefit to protect coral reefs. Up to June 2018, coral reefs have been protected increase up to 0.69 Ha. The utilization of floating anchors through the biodiversity program by PT PJB Gresik contributes to Indonesia's SDGs program on coral reef conservation activities about 0.0000018% of the total national target..

Abstract: Fishes of the family cichlidae are known for spectacular adaptive radiation and therefore serve as a model for evolutionary and ecological studies. They are highly speciated due to hybridization that frequently occur in the wild. The existence of an ecotype cichlid, 'wesafu' in Epe lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria appears to be the result of such hybridization. This paper reviews the profile of wesafu and compare the species with other cichlids, evaluate the probable causes of speciation which includes diversity in feeding morphology,mate choice, adaptation to changes in habitat arising from water level dynamics , eco-phenotypic variation,restricted migration to predation and introgressive hybridization. The implication of such speciation and hybridization were also highlighted..

Abstract: A research work was carried out to determine the prevalence of human Taeniasis in Jos South Local government Area of Plateau State. Humans were randomly sampled in 3 communities namely; Du, Kuru and Vwang. A total of 217 human stool samples were collected and processed via formol-ether sedimentation technique and examined for eggs/ova of Taenia solium. The overall prevalence of human taeniasis in the study area was 1.38% (P>0.05). Prevalence of human taeniasis in relation to sex and communities showed that in Du, males recorded 5% prevalence and females 0%. In Kuru females recorded 2.5% and males 0% (p>0.05). while Vwang recorded 0% prevalence of human taeniasis.........

Abstract: Gymnosperm is a small but vital group of plant kingdom represented by 44 genera and 82 species in India. Most of its species occur in Himalayan region, some desert regions and southern hills in India. Gymnosperms are also grown as an ornamental plant in all parts of India. The present study deals with the distribution of Gymnosperms in Kanpur Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. In this study, 11 genera of 15 species belonging to 9 families are reported. Some plant species of gymnosperms are reported the first time in this area.
