Cellulase production was carried out by solid state bioconversion (SSB) method using rice straw, a lignocellulosic material and agricultural waste, as the substrate of three Trichoderma spp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium in lab-scale experiments. The results were compared to select the best fungi among them for the production of cellulase. Phaner

Rhazya stricta is a small glabrous shrub, widely distributed throughout Western Asia from Yemen to Arabia, to the North West Province of India and abundantly found in various regions of Pakistan. Larvicidal and antifungal studies of polar and non polar aerial parts extracts of Rhazya stricta were performed using brine shrimps larvae for larvicidal

The evolution, from 1 to 10 days after germination, of flavonoid content in sprouts of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.), grown in a greenhouse under low light conditions (16 mmol m�2 s�1), was investigated. Chlorogenic acid and flavonoids including C-glycosylflavones (orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isovitexin), rutin and quercet

Iso-α-acids are known to contribute to the characteristic bitter taste of beer. Six iso-α-acids were isolated from a carbon dioxide extract of the cones of Humulus lupulus L. by centrifugal partition chromatography followed by separation through β- cyclodextrin binding. This method overcame the low yield issue of most isolation procedures that r

This paper presents a study of the development of a surface roughness model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAIN coated carbide cutting tool. The hardness of AISI D2 tool lies within the range of 56-58 HRe. The independent variables or the primary machining parameters selected for this experiment were the cutting speed, feed, an

This paper presents a study of the development of a tool life model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAlN coated carbide cutting tool. The hardness of AISI D2 tool lies within the range of 56-58 HRC. The independent variables or the primary machining parameters selected for this experiment were the cutting speed, feed, and depth

Objective: This study was conducted in the District Abbottabad, North West Frontier Province (NWFP)-Pakistan. The objective of this study was to study the association of the risk factors with the hypertension in this part of the world. Methods: Two hundred respondents of both sexes (100 Male & 100 Female) with an age range of 40-60 years were i

Infancy and preschool age is an important stage of life where the nutrition plays an important role and long lasting effects in the later years of life. This study was conducted in the two Tehsils namely Lahore and Swabi of the District Swabi, North West Frontier Province (NWFP)-Pakistan. The aim of the study was to identify the extent of malnutrit

Methodology : Twenty female students were registered from the female hostel of the NWFP, Agricultural University, Peshawar-Pakistan for the assessment of energy and macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate & fats) intakes by duplicate food samples. The age, weight and height of the students were recorded on the day of the registration. The student

This essay investigates the implementation of istihsan (juristic preference) in the early history of Islam by identifying the concept of ijtihad (independent effort) and ra’y (juristic opinion),both of which played an enormous role in the development of Islamic law. Ijtihad by ra’y (personal judgment in juridical judgment)has been practiced fro
