Multimedia streaming over heterogeneous wireless networks has attracted significant interest in recent years from both telecom network operators and end users. However, the heterogeneity of the wireless network makes it very difficult to synchronize real-time multimedia streaming across different types of end-user devices across different wireless networks. In addition, with different delay and...

Cashew is an important economic tree crop cultivated for its wood, apple and most especially the nut. The large plant spacing involved in cultivation encourages intercropping. Intercropping cashew during early phase of establishment with arable sometimes crops usually practiced which serves as food security, cultural weed control means additional income to farmers. aim this study look into some...

Forests play a vital role in terrestrial carbon cycling; therefore, monitoring forest biomass at local to global scales has become a challenging issue in the context of climate change. In this study, we investigated the backscattering properties of Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) data in cashew and rubber plantation areas of Cambodi...

Three hundred and ninety-three samples of dairy products (124 samples of white cheese, 61 samples of cream cheese, 76 samples of Kashar cheese, and 132 samples of butter), 91 samples of cashew nut and 97 macademia nut marketed in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia during September 2010-September 2011, were analyzed for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), total aflatoxin and AFB1 by microtitre plate enzyme linked ...

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) has high demand in the world market due to wide range of applications. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) has various range of biological properties. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify the phytochemicals present in the CNSL using solvent extract method. Antifungal activity of acetone, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts on A. flavus, A. fumigatus...

The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) represents one of the major cheapest sources of non-isoprenoid phenolic lipids, which have a variety of biological properties: they can act as molluscicides, insecticides, fungicides, have anti-termite properties, have medicinal applications, and demonstrate antioxidant activity in vitro. Immature cashew nut-shell liquid (iCNSL) is a unique natural sourc...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of fixed 'drug' eruption is not difficult for dermatologists, but it is difficult to identify the causative agent when the patient denies ingestion of any drugs. There have been some reported cases of fixed 'food' eruption. CASE SUMMARY A 71-year-old woman experienced repeated erythema and tense bulla with a burning sensation and pruritus on the right ankle.

The partitioning of two proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and trypsin was studied in an aqueous poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)Cashew-nut tree gum system. The phase diagram was provided for Cashew-nut tree gum and PEG molecular weight of 1500 at two different temperatures. The influence of several parameters including concentrations of polymers, pH, salt addition and temperature on the partitioni...

In Africa, the number of undernourished people is increasing at an alarming rate. However, fruits play important role in humans, especially as a source vitamins and minerals. Senegal, there research on nut, but no attention given to cashew apple. The present study contributes evaluation physicochemical biochemical properties apple juice from eco-geographical area Casamance, southern Senegal. pl...
