The study was conducted to study the effect of age viz., young (6-9 months) and adult (2 years) on physico-chemical characteristics, proximate composition, amino acid, fatty acid and cholesterol content of Kodiadu goat meat. The Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected from these animals and the physico-chemical characteristics viz., pH, water holding capacity, instrumental colour, muscle fi bre ...

Apocynaceae is a botanical family distributed mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In Brazil, they comprise about 90 genera and 850 species, inhabiting various types of vegetation. Within this large botanical family, the genus Hancornia is considered monotypic, with its only species Hancornia speciosa Gomes. Antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and antiviral activities are descri...

The effects of incentive and preparation on performance and classification accuracy of standard and malingering-specific tests were investigated in a simulation study using a 2 (no incentive vs. a $20 incentive) x 2 (immediate vs. delayed preparation) factorial design. Eighty undergraduate students and 15 individuals with traumatic brain injury were administered standard (viz., Digit Span and V...

In this paper a new type of fuzzy regularity, viz. fuzzy p∗regularity has been introduced and studied by a newly defined closure operator, viz., fuzzy p∗-closure operator. Also we have found the mutual relationship of this closure operator among other closure operators defined earlier. In p∗-regular space, p∗-closure operator is an idempotent operator. In the last section, p∗-closure operator h...

Component-based software development enables the construction of software artefacts by assembling prefabricated, configurable and independently evolving building blocks, called software components. This paper presents an approach for the development of component-based software artefacts. This approach consists of splitting the software development process according to four abstraction levels, v...

Generally, encountering conflicts/disputes in Supply Chain (value chain/network) Management (SCM) are unavoidable/inevitable owing to the contractual complexities and empirical eventualities (including incidental contingencies) their efficient resolution through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism (viz, Arbitration, Mediation, Conciliation, Negotiation) India is ubiquitous across all...

The sequence of three mitochondrial genes viz., 16S rRNA, Cyt b, COI and one nuclear gene, 28S rRNA of Coranus Curtis species downloaded from the GenBank were subjected to phylogenetic analyses to understand the intrageneric and intraspecific variations and the role of geographical isolation on speciation using CLUSTAL W in MEGA version 5.6. This analysis includes thirteen species of Coranus Cu...

The influence of operating variables [viz: temperature 55-85°C, process time 30-120 min, pH 9-11,peraceticacid concentration 0.5-3.5% oven dried pulp (o.d.p.)., and sodium perborate concentration 1-5% o.d.p.] on the bleached pulp characteristics [viz: viscosity (VI), brightness (BR), kappa number (KN)], and resulting paper sheets properties [viz: breaking length (BL), stretch (ST), tear (TI), a...

Five fungal strains of each of the two filamentous fungi viz., Aspergillus niger Van Tieghem and A. flavus Link ex Gray, indigenous to Pakistan, were screened for their alpha-amylase activity. Different selected strains were grown on two growth media viz., Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and Enzyme Production Medium (EPM), at three pH levels viz., 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5, in all the possible combinations. ...
