Moringaoleifera, commonly called the horseradish tree, drumstick tree, ben oil tree, miracle tree, and Mother’s Best Friend, known for its multi-purpose attributes, wide adaptability, and ease of establishment. Its leaves, pods and flowers packed with nutrients important to both humans and animals. This review gives information regarding cultivation, nutrients and uses potentials of Moringaolei...

Caesalpinia is the name of a genus of enormous size and of ancient origin. It is named after the Italian naturalist, Andreas Caesalpino, of Arezzo (1519-1603). He was also a botanical collector, systematist and philosopher, chief physician to Pope Clement VIII, and a professor of medicine and botany in Pisa and Rome.[1] Caesalpinia consists of about 200 species, consisting of shrubs, tall climb...

In October of 2015, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of SOSP as part of SOSP 25. Peter Denning formed a “history day” steering committee, and invited me to give a short talk on the topic of fault tolerance (and also asked if I could help organize the remainder of the day). This essay is intended as an accompaniment to the video and slides of my talk. My topic here is dominated by two fairly s...

Hot peppers (Capsicum annuum.) belong to the Solanaceae and grow widely in various parts of the world especially in the temperate regions. Among hot pepper producing countries, China is the leading producer followed by Mexico and Turkey with above 1,745,000 tons of produce per year (Firatligil-Durmus & Evranuz, 2010). Hot pepper is widely used as a flavoring and for nutritional purposes. Hot pe...

A field experiment was conducted during the seasons of 2010/2011 in a semiarid savannah zone, at the faculty of agriculture demonstration farm University of Zalingei two kilometers east of Zalingei town Western Darfur State. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of weed control on growth and seed production of (Clitoria ternatea) under rainfed conditions. Four treatments viz.; No wee...

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was re-isolated from surface sterilized pieces of the cocoa pod outer section and peduncle, two and three months after flowers of greenhouse cocoa plants were hand-pollinated and sprayed with a 1x107 mL-1 suspension of B. bassiana conidia. The colonization frequency of B. bassiana on cocoa pods was 0.8% and 1.3% two and three months post-spraying o...

To study the influence of rhizobium inoculation on growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) cultivars, an experiment was conducted at Kurram Agency, Pakistan during 2007. The rhizobium inoculation significantly enhanced the growth and yield parameters of groundnut cultivars. However, the maximum plant height (88.43 cm), number of shoots (19.9 plant), number of leaves (173.27 plant), num...

This paper deals with a new type of warehousing system, Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems (RMFS). In such systems, robots are sent to carry storage units, so-called “pods,” from the inventory and bring them to human operators working at stations. At the stations, the items are picked according to customers’ orders. There exist new decision problems in such systems, for example, the reallocatio...

A Sensor Web is a system of intra-communicating spatially distributed sensor pods that can be deployed to monitor and explore new environments. By its very nature, the Sensor Web provides spatio-temporal data in a form consistent with that needed for environment modeling and represents a new paradigm for in situ monitoring and exploration. For example, a wireless web of scattered sensor pods on...

In this note we complement recent results on the exchange r-matrices appearing in the chiral WZNW model by providing a direct, purely finite-dimensional description of the relationship between the monodromy dependent 2-form that enters the chiral WZNW symplectic form and the exchange r-matrix that governs the corresponding Poisson brackets. We also develop the special case in which the exchange...
