The protein content of the ingredients Rice bran (RB), Mustard oil cake (MOC), Floating feed (FF) and Fish meal (FM) was recorded as 14%, 30%, 32%, and 45%, respectively. These all feed stuffs are formulated as EFI (RB+MOC), EFII (RB+FF) and EFIII (RB+FM). Three experimental ponds uniform sizes of rectangular earthen ponds 20×10×1.5 m with triplicate replication were conducted. Tor tor fingerlings were collected from Narmada River at Dongarwara ghat in the Hoshangabad. Tor tor experiment was started with few old days’ fingerling having an average length P1 (EF1) 7.01 cm, (EF2) 6.23 cm, (EF3), Pond 2 (EF1) 6.64 cm, (EF2) 7.00 cm, (EF3) 6.62 cm and Pond 3 (EF1) 6.50 cm, (EF2) 6.96 cm, (EF3) 6.85 cm, respectively and average weight Pond 1 (EF1) 3.93, (EF2) 3.55, (EF3) 4.06, Pond 2 (EF1) 3.53, (EF2) 3.88, (EF3) 3.72 and Pond 3 (EF1) 3.24, (EF2) 4.00, (EF3) 4.09 gm, respectively. 70 fishes were initially stocked. During the experiment utilization of feed was recorded lowest during initial 03 days. Average Utilization of feed was recorded at starting 3 days with EF1 (10–12.5%), EF2 (14–15%) and EF3 (17–20%). Utilization of feed increased during the last 15 days it was highest with maximum acceptability of EF3 (96–97%). The utilization of fish meal was found to be highest as compared to others.</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: 4.5pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 31.5pt; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Tor tor, Experimental fish feed, Utilization, Food conversion ratio</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Rishabh Singh, Paramveer Singh, Sunil Kumar Nayak, <em>et al.</em> Comparitive Utilization and Food Conversion Ratio Study of Different Feed Ingredients Like; Rice Bran, Fish Meal, Mustard Oil Cake and Floating Feed Mixture in Earthen Pond Fed via Tor Tor (Hamilton, 1822) Fingerlings. <em>Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Sciences</em>. 2017; 7(2): 35–41p.</span></p>Rishabh SinghParamveer SinghSunil Kumar NayakDhalongsaih ReangGirish Tripathi

The failure may be due to worn-out joint or breakage because<br />of accident etc. The failed hip joint may be replaced with artificial implant. The life of implant<br />depends on different factors like the loads born by the joint, properties of material used etc.<br />The present investigation is an attempt to simulate the artificial hip joint of human being by<br />MATLAB and to analyze the results obtained, by using different materials like titanium and<br />ceramics. The results reveal that the life of implant improves when the coefficient of friction is<br />reduced between contact surfaces by the usage of ceramic and titanium materials. Maximum<br />life of implant was obtained when the implant was made with titanium in combination with<br />Al2O3.<br />Keywords: Hip joint, MATLAB, coefficient of friction, stresses, ceramic, titanium<br />Nagaraju J, Kumar PVSM, Kedar Mallik<br />M et al.

During this experiment pabda treated with four types of different feed ingredients Rice bran (RB), Mustard oil cake (MOC), Floating feed (FF) and Fish meal (FM) with 14, 30, 32 and 45% protein, respectively. These ingredients are formulated as experimental feed EF-I (RB+MOC), EF-II (RB+FF) and EF-III (RB+FM). Ompok pabda experiment was started with few old days’ fingerling having an average weight and length of 1.609 g and 6.85 cm, respectively. 70 fishes were initially stocked. The maximum consumption of EF<strong>-</strong>III feed in pond P1(C) 65, P2(C) 96, and P3 section (C) 97.5%, respectively. Besides this, there was very minute fluctuations of feeding rate occurred in EF-I than other feeds during 45 days experiment. Very contrary in every pond pabda accepted EF-III with average 78.16% in 45 days experiment. On the other side, EF-II and EF-I feed acceptability average percentage was 66.91% and 76.63% during 45 days experiment. Ompok pabda preferred high protein diet like Fish meal (EF-III) of 50% crude protein as compared to low protein diet used during experiment. Acceptability of feed of pond P3C, P2C and P1C was 97.5, 96 and 65.5%, respectively; survivability of fishes of pond P1C, P3B and P3A was 97, 82 and 97%, respectively and lowest food conversion rate after experiment was 0.488, 0.692 and 1.378 of pond P3B, P1C and P2C, respectively. The result implies that fish has better survivavility with EF-III firstly and secondly in EF-I as compared to EF-II, respectively. </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: 97%;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 97%; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: 97%;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 97%; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 97%; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Ompok pabda, experimental feed (EF), protein diet, acceptability, survivability</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: HI;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: 97%;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Paramveer Singh, Sunil Kumar Nayak, Dhalongsaih Reang, <em>et al. </em>To Study the Acceptability of Different Feeds Under Earthen Ponds via <em>Ompok pabda </em>Fingerlings viz, Rice Bran, Mustard Oil Cake, Fish Meal and Floating Feed. <em>Research & Reviews: A Journal of Life Sciences</em>. 2017; 7(2): 10–16p.</span></p>Paramveer SinghSunil Kumar NayakDhalongsaih ReangRishabh Singh

To obtain the adequate information, a total numbers of 90 child labours were interviewed from this mentioned city. The study indicates that about 15.6% of child labours were illiterate and 17.7% of child labours can sing their name only and major %age (46%) are in primary level of education. Although nearly 50% of children are already detached from education, but still now 23% of them are continuing their learning besides their regular works. Of course it is a positive sign that 76% of the respondents still have willingness to go school. When-ever they get time, most them watch movies in cinema hall and also do a lot of activities including taking drugs. Facing torture is common phenomena in workstation and 63% reported that they face torture, and among tortures, beating was most common, mostly done by the managers of the workshops. That is why they did not find interest in their works.

Naturopathic practitioners uses of borage for regulation of metabolism and the hormonal system, and consider it to be a good remedy for PMS and menopause symptoms such as the hot flash. Borage is sometimes indicated to alleviate and heal colds, bronchitis, and respiratory infections in general for its anti-inflammatory and balsamic properties. The flowers can be prepared in infusion to take advantage of its medicinal properties. The oleic and palmitic acid of borage may also confer a hypocholesterolemic effect.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The interest in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene has increased during the last few years. FASN is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acid, and alteration of this enzyme may affect economic traits including fatty acid composition. FASN is involved in fat metabolism and is an important candidate gene affecting fat composition of milk because of its central role in de-novo lipogenesis in mammals. This cytosolic enzyme catalyses palmitic acid synthesis from acetyl coenzyme-A and malonyl coenzyme-A in the presence of NADPH. Thioesterase (TE) domain of FASN gene regulates the termination of fatty acid synthesis and thus determines the quality of fat synthesized in milk through early termination of fatty acid chains.

They have a vital role in promoting hematopoietic cell growth, differentiation, and prevent apoptosis of progenitor cells. Each growth factor has a specific cell surface receptor, which activates both unique and shared signal transduction pathways. This interaction promotes signal transmission across the cell membrane and activates intercellular signaling cascades that are integrated at the gene expression level. Cell–cell and cell–ECM interactions through adhesion receptors play a major role in the hematopoietic process. Hematopoietic signaling is activated by growth factors and cellular interactions with the ECM. ECM functions as a part of the cell-controlled machinery to store and activate growth factors during development.

Further, it is a key enzyme in the last two steps of purine metabolism. Thus, the need for an understanding and developing unified reaction mechanism to minimize the amount of accumulated uric acid inside human body has led us to the present detailed study of the reaction of XO with purine derivatives. In addition to its obscure mechanism of action that has been studied experimentally with purines and related analogues substrates, it is not also yet investigated computationally with these substrates. During catalytic transformation of substrates to their products, many factors are simulated to affect the mechanism of action that pass through different intermediates in the catalytic cycle. Accordingly, the study was particularly intended to identify the factors affecting the binding stage of catalysis and look forward to the role of active binding pocket amino acids in providing proper orientation to the substrates for nucleophilic reaction to take place. Gaussian 03W (version 6.0) program software package using density functional theory (DFT) method of the B3LYP correlation functional formalism was used. The calculated results of Mulliken atomic charge and total energy has been provided link to the factors regarding the orientation of substrates, role of binding pocket amino acid residues, polarity effect and selectivity of the interaction sites. In light of this, there was no clear cut relation between the charge distribution and reactivity of substrates. On top of this, the role of amino acids on proper orientation of substrates is deduced as the primary factor on selectivity and reactivity of heterocyclic substrates in XO enzyme family. On the other side, energy barrier was related to the reactivity of the substrates. This research is applicable in analysis of substrate specificities which is aimed at providing the role of bringing pocket amino acid residues in recognition of heterocyclic substrate for proper orientation in a nucleophilic hydroxylation reaction that simulated to give insights into the potential physiological roles of these enzymes.<strong></strong></span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; padding: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 1.0pt 0in;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">purine derivatives, xanthine oxidase (XO), xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR)</span></em></p><p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><strong></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Gereziher G, Gebremeskel G, Berhane A.

Household area is occupied with 34.09% timber species followed by fruit trees other than citrus 31.09%, agar 18.14%, citrus 12.63%, medicinal 3.0% and aesthetic species 1.05%. People cultivate citrus in their homestead by realizing that economic returns from citrus is possible and citrus can meet their family needs successfully. Less interest in citrus cultivation due to poor market price is predominantly responsible for the continuous declining of citrus tree.<span style="color: red;"> </span>It also explored the relationships between the selected characteristics (independent variables) with number of citrus trees in homestead (dependent variable).
