Abstract: Centipedes are predatory, terrestrial arthropods and are found primarily in tropics, they are relatives of the insects. The name "centipede" literally means 100 legs, and without a doubt some species of centipedes have almost 100 legs. Centipedes can be identified by their long, segmented body with each segment bearing one pair of legs. Centipedes are predators; they feed on any small crawling organisms they can catch. Centipedes are seen in a range of habitats but typically they can be found in moist, secluded places such as under stones, under logs, leaves or bark. There are few genus among them Scolopendra is the giant centipede, may also be common in parts of northern Western Ghats of India. Among all the centipedes, Scolopendra is considered to be the most dangerous because of its venomous fangs and aggressive behavior. Centipedes of the genus Scolopendra are active predators.......

Abstract: Background: Sesame is grown in almost all tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa for its seeds and oil from the seeds. Hence, Nigeria seeks to expand its production and explore other markets including making inroads into the European Union (EU) and Mediterranean markets. However, the stringency of the food safety standards of the developed countries has posed a stiff challenge to the participation in the world trade in agricultural produce. In Nigeria, sesame export has dwindled due to the detection of aflatoxin contamination levels above the United States and European......

Abstract: Color is the foremost attraction of any textile material like fiber, yarn, fabric or garments. No matter how outstanding its structure, if unsuitably colored it is bound to be a letdown as a commercial fabric. Manufacture and use of synthetic dyes for fabric dyeing has therefore become an enormous industry today. Synthetic dyes have provided a wide range of color fastness, bright hues. However, their toxic nature has become a cause of grave concern to environmentalists. Use of synthetic dyes has an adverse effect on all forms of life. Presence of Sulphur, naphthol, vat dyes, nitrates, acetic acid, soaps, enzymes chromium compounds, caustic soda and heavy metals like copper, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury.......

Abstract: Comfortable conditions are essential for the proper functioning of residential buildings long hours are spent in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen, conveniences and other support rooms. Rooms should be liveable and inviting, but unfortunately many residential buildings lack such disposition, often mechanical devices as fans, chillers and air conditioners have to be employed to improveconditions within. These devices are energy driven and dependent, from time to time these devices and electric generators that run them need repairs, thereby piling costs of maintenance. With energy efficient/sustainable building design, these devices may not be necessary, or if used, it is minimal. This is the background in which the study is conceived and is set to find out how residential buildings in.....

Abstract: "Nyumbang Tradition" (gift giving tradition) is an important reciprocity institution in the country side which have a strict job division based on the gender. The study will examine how the reciprocity institutions take place in tradition as one of the local wisdom of rural communities in Java and how women took part in this institution. This research used qualitative methods. The subjects of the research were women. The results showed differences typology of nyumbang (donate) based on the scope of the obligation, namely the village scope (mbarang gawe / big celebration) and the tapis wiring scope (a close neighbor: a small celebration / slametan). Differences in typology of nyumbang is accompanied by difference of job division based on the gender which puts.....

Abstract: Sustainable development can be defined as sustainability involving physical, social, political and economic aspects by taking into account the management of natural resources which include forests, land and water, environmental impact management, and human resource development. The tourism sector is one of the sources of foreign exchange earnings that can encourage economic transformation from a traditional agricultural country character to a modern industrial society. Besides that, it contributes positively to the creation of job opportunities for the surrounding community and at the same time brings in foreign exchange that supports the achievement.........

Abstract: Background: To treat cancer, micronutrients obtained from certain fruits appear to offer an alternative to the frequently toxic chemotherapy methods. We therefore focused on Lycopene and Apigenin, the main components in pink guava Psidiumguajava L, and Resveratrol, a reference biomolecule with recognized anti-oxydant, neuroprotective and anticancer properties. Our aim was to assess and compare their antiproliferative action on LNCaP cells (prostate cancer) and UACC257 cells (melanoma). Materials and Methods: Micronutrients were studied separately first and then in combination, using MTT assays. Confocal microscopy using anti-PCNA and anti-5-α-reductase primary antibodies enabled to evaluate the antitumoral pathway of Lycopen alone or in combination with Apigenin or Resveratrol, on prostate cancer cell......

Abstract: This study is aimed at establishing the link between El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Zimbabwe droughts. The influence of ENSO on Zimbabwe droughts is investigated by looking at the relationship between ENSO and rainfall. Results suggest that during the rainy season following the beginning of an El Niño event, Zimbabwe usually experience dry conditions. Likewise, most of the negative Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) values over the country correspond with El Niño events. Atmospheric anomalies which include westerly wind in the upper atmosphere, anomalously warm temperatures in the troposphere, weak vertical motion and high tropospheric pressure that occur during Zimbabwe droughts are also identified. Anomalously warm SSTs in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (El Niño events) have been related to changes in the upper –level wind and warm tropospheric temperatures which are associated with drought across Zimbabwe and southern Africa.

Key Words: Zimbabwe; El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO); drought; Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI); correlation
