the oil and protein content of three varieties of water melon seeds namely, chillian black, dixy queen and charlston gray were determined. the soluble proteins were studied and measured by paper chromatography and amino acid analyzer. the results indicated that oil content of the seeds was 43, 53 and 45% and protein content was 27, 23, and 34% respectively. the soluble proteins contained all th...

Aqueous-phase diffusion in geologic media is very important in agricultural production, contaminant transport and remediation, risk assessment, and waste disposal. This review was undertaken to investigate (1) the components of effective diffusion coefficients, (2) diffusion as a function of water content and diffusion models, as well as the effects of temperature, compactness, and sorption on ...

The dominant policy decision emphasis on urbanisation problem in developing countries is itsrate of growth, ignoring the level of provision of resources, including the infrastructure, to match this growth. It isagainst this background that the paper undertook a broad analysis of the state of infrastructure in developing countriesusing such indices as access and quality of water supply, sanitati...

according to the reports, industrial livestock activities have most pernicious and harmful impacts on water resources quality. livestock activities include cattle breeding, animals feeding, cleaning animals resting sites, the storage of livestock manure and even abandoned places for livestock keeping impose large negative effects on water quality. such impacts stems from high density or livesto...
