This study was conducted to determine the optimum maturity indices and storage life for selected avocado cultivars grown in Wendo-Genet: South Ethiopia. Maturity has a pronounced effect on the physical, nutritional and chemical compositions, and post-harvesting quality attributes of avocado fruit....

Diversity, relative abundance and biology of fish species of Beles and Gilgel BelesrnRivers were studied during November 2005 to May 2006. Physical and chemicalrnparameters were also measured during this study. Fishes were sampled using gillrnnets of various stretched mesh sizes, and hooks and...
This study was undertaken in parts of Ethiopia where the crop wild relatives are available. Croprnwild relatives of the dicotyledonous plant families in Ethiopia were studied to highlight theirrnpresent status, as compared to the findings of earlier studies. This study has two parts: firstlyrndata...
In this thesis, using the properties of convergence of Fourier series and some other properties of trigonometric polynomials, in particular that they are sums of holomorphic and anti-holomorphic functions, we are able to solve the Dirichlet problem on the Disc. Then, applying the result for the...
Non-governmental organizations are one of the development actors. In developingrncountries like ours, where poverty affected the lives of many people, their contribution isrntremendous. The collaboration and networking of actors and common understanding on legalrnand policy issues between...
The study aims develop the efficient system of goods distribution from the gates to a city centers of Addis Ababa. The Night Delivery System enables the distribution of goods from freight doors (gates) to the city centers efficiently without compromising the living conditions of the city dwellers,...
The effect of boiling and natural fermentation on Qulle and Kello cassava varieties collected from southern Ethiopia were studied for their physicochemical composition and antinutritional factors. The moisture content of the samples was 9.47±0.47% for Qulle variety and 8.48±0.02% for Kello...
Direct segregated systems of boundary-domain integral equations are formulated from the mixedrn(Dirichlet-Neumann) boundary value problems for a scalar second order divergent elliptic partialrndifferential equation with a variable coefficient in an exterior three-dimensional domain.rnThe...
Results from this study present an assessment for the possible elephant (Loxodonta africana) andrnanthropogenic impacts on woody plant species to evaluate natural resource management scheme.rnResearch was carried out for seven months, from September to December 2006, and from Marchrnto May 2007 in...
Soils are indispensable resources that afford production of agricultural and industrial crops asrnwell as furnish manifold ecological services (as a filter, buffer, geochemical sink, andrntransformation system) and thus, safeguard the global ecosystem from the effect of pollution.rnHowever, being...
An expanded food product was obtained from lentil -corn flour mixtures by extrusion cooking.rnEffects of cooking temperature; blend ratio and moisture contents of the feed mixture wererninvestigated. Effects of these functional properties on expansion ratio, WAI, WSI, WHC, sensoryrnproperties and...
Drought is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. Croprngrowth models predict that this issue will be more severe in the future. Droughtrnimpairs normal growth, disturbs water relations, reduces water use efficiency andrnaffects yield. Plants, however, have a variety of...
Despite various environmental problems in our country, this study focused on the industrialrnwaste/ pollution of Akaki Kality industrial zone. The AIZ is characterised by its large number ofrnmanufacturing industries. The community in the area are living side by side with thesernindustries. This...
This project paper is divided into four sections. we discuss the origin of Motzkin numbers using the division of finite number of points on a circle by non-intersecting chords. The idea of division of finite number of points on a circle which leads us to the origin of Motzkin numbers after getting...
The study was conducted with the aim of development of legume based complimentary foodrnproducts between age group of 6 to 18 months using drum dryer. The products can be used as arnprotein and energy complimented combining legumes and cereals. Accordingly, chickpea, maizernand millet were selected...
Three Lepus species are currently considered to occur in Ethiopia: Lepus habessinicus Hemprich and Ehrenberg 1832 (Abyssinian Hare), L. fagani Thomas 1903 (Ethiopian Hare) and L. starcki Petter 1963 (Ethiopian Highland Hare) based on limited morphologic and cytogenetic data. Analyses of...
Deforestation has taken place, and is still taking place, in proportions that are beyond anyrnexpectations. The existing production capacity of the remaining forest is small while the demandrnfor forest output is tremendous and growing by the day. The present demand is many times overrnthe present...
The study was undertaken to investigate the utilization of wild plants by local communitiesrnalong the Kwakuchinja wildlife corridor in Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem, Tanzania. Tornaccomplish this, an ethno-botanical survey was carried out in the two villages found within therncorridor, Minjingu and...
Penalty and augmented Lagrangian methods are procedures for approximating constrainedrnoptimization problems by unconstrained optimization problems to and the approximate so-rnlution of the given constrained problem. The idea of replacing a constrained optimizationrnproblem by a sequence of...
