Chromium is an important industrial metal used in various production processes. Remediation ofrnChromium contaminated sites present both technological and economic challenges, asrnconventional methods are often too expensive and difficult to operate. Green synthesis providesrnadvancement over...
Fatliquor is one of the most important chemical used in leather processing industry. It isrncurrently imported with foreign currency. This research showed the potential of locallyrnavailable raw material vernonia galamensis seed oil for production of sulphited fatliquor, whichrnwill potentially...
Fruits and fruit products are the enigma of food in modern society. Fresh fruits are perishablernand have limited shelf life. To prolong shelf life, various processing and preservation methodsrnsuch as drying, chemical treatments and various packaging methods are used. Spray drying ofrnmango and...
Due to the high cost of surfactant production caused by petrochemical feedrnstocks, considerable attention has been given to non-edible vegetable oils as anrnalternative source of feedstock. In this paper, a new non-edible oil derivedrnsurfactant based on Jatropha plant is synthesized. In this...
A steady state simulation of syngas production from municipal solid waste gasification process using fixed bed gasification technology was performed using Aspen Plus. For the simulation, the average proximate and ultimate compositions of municipal solid waste obtained from the koshe open dump site...
To date, information regarding densities and identification of dominant coffee shade trees andrnexplanation of their interaction with physical parameters in southwestern part of Ethiopia isrnextremely very scanty. Moreover, mycorrhizal fungi spore densities, colonization rate, diversityrnand...
In this study, M. catarrhalis was isolated from 68 of 200 (34.0%) sputum samples of patientsrnwith community-acquired pneumonia. It was also found in 56 (28.0%) of the nasopharynx ofrnthese patients. There were 42 (61.8%) males. and 26 (38.2%) females with pneumonia causedrnby M. catarrhalis. Fifty...

The discharge of tannery effluents to different water bodies increase pollution because of heavyrnaccumulation of toxic compounds such as sulfur and nitrogen containing organic wastes, chromium,rnarsenic etc. Thitty-six strains of Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria (SOB) belonging to sixteen genera...
The aim of the study was to investigate the abundance, diversity and community structurernof macrobenthos in relation to some environmental variables. Benthic macroinvertebratesrnof Lake Kuriftu were sampled on a monthly basis from September 2009 to February 2010.rnEkman grab (0.0225m2) samples...
The methods that we describe presently, attempt to approximate a constrained optimiza-rntion problem with an unconstrained one and then apply standard search techniques suchrnas exterior penalty function method and interior penalty method to obtain solutions. Thernapproximation is accomplished in...
Ecological investigation of species diversity and abundance of birds was conducted fromrnAugust 2010 to March 2011 in Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. Transect count andrnpoint count methods were used to investigate the abundance of birds. Observation wasrnconducted by periodically walking...
Some times there may be many di®erent ways to model a particular problem,rnchoosing the best one minimizes the complexity of the problem and time to solve.rnSince, as we have said earlier, any programming problem with constraint matrixrnstructure the same as the transportation problem is...
The association between HIVand Tuberculosis (I'B) is complex and bi- directional. Recentrnstudies demonstrated that TB accelerates the course of AIDS. In the present study lI'ernsought for virological and immunological features of HIV in TB co-ilifected individuals.rnThe study subjects are selected...
The purpose of this study is an attempt to explore sufficient condition for the convergence of Riemann integrable functions on any positive linear functional. The Arzela dominated convergence theorem holds for the Riemann integral provided it is assumed that the limit function is Riemann...
Infonnation pertaining to the etiologic agents responsible for ear infection are absent inrnEthiopia. Therefore, this study was initiated to identify the causative agents together withrntheir sensitivities to antimicrobials. Microbiological samples were collected from 389 earsrnof 355 patients...
