the influence of leachate from open solid waste dumping near salhad stream (abbottabad, pakistan) was investigated to quantify the variations of water quality during august 2007 to april 2008. samples were collected from five different sites located along the salhad stream. two sites were located before the mixing of solid waste leachate with the surface water. one sampling site was of leach...

excretory/secretory antigen was prepared by culturing live adult worms of haemonchus contortus in rpmi 1640 medium at a concentration of 50 worms per ml in a culture-flask at 37 ˚c for 24 hr and the culture supernatant was used as antigen. the e/s antigen was purified by thiol-sepharose affinity chromatography. on western blot analysis, it was demonstrated that thiol-purified antigen showed a s...

various physico chemical characteristics of the river ganga in varanasi were studied in the oct 2005 to nov 2006. ecological parameters like dissolved oxygen(do), ph, nitrate(no3-), po43- and bacterial population were analyzed and compared with standard permissible limits to assess the best designated use of the river water for various purposes. study revealed that the water quality at varanasi...

Keeping data safe in the presence of crashes is a fundamental problem storage systems. Although high-level ideas for crash consistency are relatively well understood, realizing them practice surprisingly complex and full challenges. The systems research community actively working on solving this challenge, papers examined here offer three solutions.
