El 50% de la población de la parroquia Imantag tiene como principal actividad económica la agricultura distribuida en 920 unidades productivas agropecuarias; con un 10% de la superficie total dividido en cultivos de ciclo perenne y ciclo corto. Esta actividad es imperativa ya que genera los principales ingresos y utiliza la mayor cantidad de mano de obra. Al no contar con información sobre el comportamiento socioeconómico de los agricultores no se pueden establecer estrategias para mantener esta condición sostenible. La investigación tuvo como objetivo principal determinar el comportamiento económico y social de los agricultores, para así sentar una línea base de futuros estudios acerca de la conducta socioeconómica. Esta investigación se desarrolló en tres fases; la primera determinó las áreas productivas y los principales cultivos del sector; en la segunda se identificó la muestra de la población, se estableció variables e indicadores socioeconómicos y se aplicó la entrevista; la tercera fase analizó y tabuló los datos obtenidos en la fase II mediante el método cuali-cuantitativo, el método sintético y observación. Se identificaron los principales cultivos de la parroquia que tienen su incidencia económica, niveles de ingresos y estratos sociales. Además se identificaron las particularidades en cuanto a inversiones, lo que permitió ver las preferencias y establecer el comportamiento socioeconómico. En conclusión el agricultor persigue un status dentro de la comunidad que está valorado por su posesión de bienes más que por su educación, su acceso a salud y servicios básicos.

Storm water drainage is meant to carry storm water (rain water) and any other clean surface water. It is fundamentally not suitable or designed for carrying sewage or industrial waste water or even septic tank effluent. Even the effluent from the sewage treatment plant cannot be discharged into it. Therefore, one of the urgent tasks should be to make plans for diversion of all waste water (both domestic and industrial) from surface drains.

Properly generating robust, high-quality libraries for ChIP-Seq will prepare your for Illumina sequencing and an overall successful ChIP-Seq experiment. It is often challenging to prepare DNA for a next-gen ChIP-Seq library because it’s difficult to obtain a large amount of DNA after ChIP. In this paper, the library construction method is suitable for low concentration DNA in woody samples.

A continuous pulsed fluidized bed (CPFB) dryer with relocated gas stream was employed to conduct the drying of refined sugar. The experiments were carried out according to the 2-level orthogonal experimental plan, combined with multiple response optimization according to Response Surface Method (RSM) to determine the appropriate parameters (hot air temperature, hot air velocity, pulse frequency, particle mean diameter) in the refined sugar drying process. The appropriate conditions of drying process were identified at 71.5C of hot air temperature, 2.1 m/s of hot air velocity, 0.55 Hz of pulse frequency and 467m of particle mean diameter. At these conditions the dried refined sugar reached final moisture content of 0.035% (wet basis), the specific electrical energy and the specific heat value consumption reached 187 Wh/kg product and 1024 kJ/kg product, respectively.

Flood is one of the natural disasters that is affecting urban households world over however, countries’ response to floods disaster risk vary in methods and magnitudes both at national or household levels. This study assesses flood disaster risk response of urban households in Makurdi town-Nigeria, with the aim of ascertaining their level of preparedness and responses before, during and after flood disaster events. Data was collected from 295 household heads of flood prone areas of the town using questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result of the study reveals that 83% of the respondents were aware of the annual flood occurrence in their area and, 56% had received prior information of the 2012 flood occurrence through different means however, only 35% of the respondents took the early warning information very seriously. The level of preparedness taken by the respondents before the flood shows that 25% constructed embankments/drainage around their houses, 23% relocated to safer places, 12% raised the foundation of their houses among others. The study also reveals that during the actual flood disaster events, 56% of the respondents struggled to evacuate household items only, 19% focused on evacuating their family members while 2% waited for the government to rescue them. The study shows that 39% of the flood victims took refuge at the houses of their family relations. Based on the findings, the study recommends for more sensitization of the public on flood disaster risk and greater involvement by NGOs and government in disaster management in the study area.

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of ginger and garlic on the productive performance, carcass characteristics and hematological parameters of broilers. Ginger and garlic were provided alone and combination of both through the diet and drinking water in the form of powder and infusion respectively. A total of 200 one-day-old Cobb-500 straight-run broiler chicks were randomly allocated to five experimental treatments with four replications of 10 chicks per replicate (n=40). Treatments were: T0 (control group without test ingredients), T1 and T2 : (birds received 15 g kg-1 of ginger and garlic in powder form in feed) T3 and T4 : (birds received 15 g kg-1 of ginger and garlic combination in powder form in feed and in water based infusion at 50 ml L-1 of drinking water respectively). Blood samples were collected on 21 and 35th day post feeding from 5 birds per replication for hematological parameters analysis. At the end of trial, 20 birds from each treatment (5 birds per replicate) were slaughtered for the determination of carcass characteristics. Ginger and garlic had significantly improved (p<0.05) on body weight (BW), feed intake (FI), body weight gain (BWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) on 14, 21, 28, 35th d of experiment respectively. The usage of the test ingredients had a significant effect (p<0.05) on carcass weight, abdominal fat and dressing percentage except proximate components of breast and thigh muscle. A better performance was observed when chicks were fed in powder form than those fed the water based infusion. Significant variations (p<0.05) existed among the treatments in mean hematological parameters total erythrocyte count (TEC), hemoglobin (Hb), total leukocyte count (TLC), packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) respectively. However, there was no significant effect of ginger and garlic on MCV at 21 d and heterophil, basophil at 35 d. Substantial positive affect was observed on broilers performance when ginger and garlic were fed in powder form without any adverse effect and boosted their traits monitored as well as general well-being.
本试验旨在研究生姜和大蒜对肉鸡生产性能、胴体特性和血液学参数的影响。生姜和大蒜分别以粉剂和冲剂的形式通过饮食和饮用水单独和组合提供。选取200只1日龄科布-500直排肉鸡，随机分为5个试验处理，每处理4个重复，每个重复10只鸡(n=40)。处理为:T0(对照组，不含试验成分)、T1、T2:(在饲料中添加15 g kg-1粉末状姜蒜)、T3、T4:在饲料中添加15 g kg-1粉末状姜蒜组合，在饮水中以50 ml L-1的水滴注。在饲养后第21天和第35天，每个重复采集5只禽鸟的血液样本进行血液参数分析。试验结束时，每个处理屠宰20只(每个重复5只)，测定胴体特性。生姜和大蒜分别在试验第14、21、28、35 d显著提高了体重(BW)、采食量(FI)、增重(BWG)和饲料系数(FCR) (p<0.05)。除胸肌和大腿肌外，各试验成分的使用对胴体重、腹脂和屠宰率均有显著影响(p<0.05)。饲喂粉末状的雏鸡生产性能优于饲喂水基灌注的雏鸡。平均血液学参数(TEC)、血红蛋白(Hb)、白细胞总计数(TLC)、堆积细胞体积(PCV)、红细胞沉降速率(ESR)、平均红细胞体积(MCV)、平均红细胞血红蛋白(MCH)、平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度(MCHC)在不同治疗组间差异均有统计学意义(p<0.05)。然而，生姜和大蒜对21 d时的MCV和35 d时的嗜异碱性粒细胞无显著影响。生姜和大蒜以粉末形式饲喂对肉鸡的生产性能有显著的积极影响，没有任何不利影响，并提高了肉鸡的各项指标和总体健康状况。

The study was conducted in Dawro Zone of Tocha and Essera Woreda and Konta Special Woreda. The objective of the study was to demonstrate, recommend and transfer the best performing bread wheat varieties based on grain yield performance and farmers’ preference. In each kebele, one FTC and twelve farmers (8 male and four female farmers) were involved during ‘’meher’’ season of the year 2016. Training was given for the selected farmers and other stakeholders. Providing full packages of bread wheat technology- variety Ogolicho, Shorima and local were demonstrated in Konta Special Woreda but variety Shorima, Kakaba and Local were demonstrated in Dawro Zone of Tocha and Essera Woreda. Plot size of 10m X 10m was used and seeds were planted at a rate of 100kg/ha in all fields. The recommended rate of DAP (100kg/ha) and UREA (50 kg/ha) were used. The spacing between plots and row was 1m and 30cm by drilling respectively. Field days were organized; farmers evaluated and selected the best performed varieties depending on their criteria's set. The criteria were earliness, tillering capacity, seed size, spike length, resistance to diseases and grain yield. During farmers’ selection process both female and male farmers had been incorporated so as to avoid gender bias. The result showed that variety Ogolicho was the best yielder with grain yield of 39.7 qt/ha and 36 qt/ha at Buba-damota Kebele and Chaka-bocha Kebele respectively followed by the variety Shorima (37.8 qt/ha at Buba Damota and 29 qt/ha at Chaka-bocha) in Konta Special Woreda. In Tocha and Essera Woreda, variety Shorima was with better grain yield performance at Edget kebele of Tocha Woreda (34.5 qt/ha) and Arsi-bale Kebele of Essera Woreda (34.4 qt/ha) respectively. Therefore, based on the farmers’ criteria and grain yield performance, variety Ogolicho selected as first followed by Shorima in Konta Special Woreda, and variety Shorma in Tocha and Essera Woreda, were recommended with its full packages for further pre-scaling.
