Despite the fact that Moringaoleifera extracts can enhance plant growth, improve yield, and increase resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses its effects on tomato plant growth have not been extensively researched. Hence, this study sought to investigate the potential of Moringaoleiferaextracts as aherbal growth agent of tomato plants. The study was conducted in Cape Coast. Three concentrations of Moringa leaf, bark and root were used as experimental set up whereas water was used as control. Plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and number of stem branches were determined.

Las estrategias de aprendizaje desempeñaron un rol fundamental en el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora, particularmente en el ámbito universitario, lo que motivó la investigación de su influencia en estudiantes ingresantes. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre las estrategias de aprendizaje y la comprensión lectora en estudiantes que recién iniciaban su formación en la Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga de Ica. Se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño descriptivo correlacional de alcance transeccional.

Azolla, a protein-rich aquatic fern, plays a vital role in goat nutrition due to its high digestibility and nutritional value and were utilized as a dietary protein source on the digestibility, milk yield, and milk quality of lactating upgraded goats. A 20 weeks (140 days) feeding trial with a 2 weeks acclimatization period was conducted using 16, first parity lactating 50% Anglo-Nubian x 50% Native goats in a Randomized Completely Block Design.

Wild mushrooms are vitally important non-timber forest products. However, changes in biodiversity and the effects of climate change are influencing their seasonal availability. Different types of substrate were formulated for this study, including three based on sawdust and one based on banana leaves. Before spawning, the culture bags were sterilised and then divided into three groups according to the type of oyster mushroom species (Pleurotus cornucopiae, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus citrinopileatus).

Mineral coal bottom ash, a residue from power plants, is an under-exploited industrial waste in Niger despite its interesting properties, notably its low density. This study aims to add value to this material by developing an economical, high-performance composite combining bottom ash powder (≤80 microns) and construction plaster, intended for interior applications such as false ceilings, wall coverings and decorations. Mortars with different proportions of clinker (0-70%) were formulated to assess their mechanical strength and thermal conductivity.

Loquat seed starch (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) was isolated, characterized, and subjected to physical modifications using ultrasound techniques at amplitudes of 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%. Proximate analysis of the native starch revealed the following composition: moisture content (5.48%), lipid content (0.19%), protein content (3.56%), dietary fiber content (4.51%), crude fiber content (1.37%), and carbohydrate content by difference (84.77%). Thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) identified three main mass loss events for all samples.

Environmental perturbation such as pollution is one of the most disturbing aspects of environmental degradation. The Gulf of Gabes is presently facing severe environmental issues due mainly to intense fishing activity and improper industrialization (metal pollution). We have proposed in the present study, to assess the impact of environmental pollution on two fish species: Sardinella (S.) aurita and Mugil (M.) cephalus. To attend our objective, an exploration of morphological and asymmetry parameters was undertaken. The comparative analysis of the obtained data showed for S. aurita and M.
