The use of corticosteroids in combination with other hormonal substances has long been known to result in increased mass gain with bovines. Practice has demonstrated, however, that even the single use of a glucocorticoid may result in growth promoting effects. In addition to the popular dexamethasone, more recently other corticosteroids have also been misused for fattening purposes. The first p...

Aflatoxins are food contaminants usually associated with hepatitis, immunodepression, impairment of fertility and cancer. The present work was to determine the presence of aflatoxins in eggs, milk, urine, and blood samples that were collected from various sources and periods; and hepatitis B virus antigen in blood samples. Aflatoxin was found in eggs (45.2%), cow raw milk (15.9%), breast milk (...

A recent survey of the urinary amino-acids of various animals (Datta & Harris, 1951, 1953) has shown taurine to be present in the urine of some species, e.g. the mouse, rat and dog, but absent from others, e.g. the guinea-pig, cow and rabbit; the occurrence of taurine in cat's urine is irregular. Some time ago an enzyme was described that liberates carbon dioxide from L-cysteic acid under anaer...

Let the edges of a graph G be coloured so that no colour is used more than k times. We refer to this as a k-bounded colouring. We say that a subset of the edges of G is multicoloured if each edge is of a different colour. We say that the colouring is H-good, if a multicoloured Hamilton cycle exists i.e., one with a multicoloured edge-set. Let ARk = {G : every k-bounded colouring of G is H-good}...

Lack of understanding regarding the choice chemical fungicides or botanicals with their optimal doze and spraying schedule is one major problems concerning mid-hill farmers to control finger millet diseases in Nepal. In order assess effectiveness four fungicides, namely Bavistin 50 WP (Carbendazim 50%), SAAF 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP), RIDOMIL-MZ 72 (Metalyxl 8% 64% BAAN 75 (Tricyclazole 75%), two ...
