Effect of Energy/Protein Ratio and Strain on Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Serum Biochemical Indices of Exotic and Locally Adapted Turkey
Abstract: This study investigated the response of locally adapted and exotic turkeys raised under the same environmental conditions to diets with varying energy/protein ratio. One hundred and fourty-four (144) four-week old poults of each strain of turkey were randomly selected and assigned to six different diets in a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Each treatment diet were replicated twice with twelve (12) birds per replicate. Diets formulated with 28 …

Challenges of Upgrading Local Cattle with Exotic Breeds: Genetic, Environmental, Economic, and Sustainability Trade-offs
Abstract: The practice of upgrading local cattle with exotic breeds has gained popularity as a strategy to enhance milk and meat production. While this approach holds potential for improving productivity, it also presents a range of challenges that need careful consideration. This study examines the genetic, environmental, economic, and sustainability trade-offs associated with upgrading local cattle with exotic breeds. From a genetic perspective, upgrading can result in the dilution of traits …

Review on Advances in Production of Hybrids in Orchids
Abstract: Orchids are highly valued due to its exotic beauty, fragrant and long-lasting qualities. The orchid with its 20,000 to 30,000 species in some 700 to 800 genera is known to belong to one of the largest family “Orchidaceae” among flowering plants, and exhibits almost innumerable hybrid and limitless varieties. A hybrid is biologically defined as the offspring of two different organisms. In orchids, hybridization plays a vital role in development …

Risk Assessment of Batch Sulfonation Process using Fault Tree and Bowtie
Abstract: The current study looks into the batch reactor's sulfonation reaction's safety features. Acetanilide, thionyl chloride, and chlorosulphonic acid are used in the sulfonation reaction under consideration to generate acetyl sulphonyl chloride as well as by-products such HCl and SOx. Steam starts the process, which is exothermic in nature. Water is then chilled to maintain a temperature of 50°C and a pressure of one atmosphere. The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis …

Investigating the Dynamics of Quantum Plasmas: Current Advancements and Prospective Trajectories
Abstract: Plasma is regarded as quantum if its macroscopic properties are significantly affected by the quantum nature of its constituent particles. A proper description is necessary to comprehend the importance of collective quantum plasma effects. In this entry, the field of quantum plasmas, a generic exotic state of highly ionized matter where quantum effects are relevant, is discussed, for example, by dense plasmas arising from strong laser irradiation of solid targets …

Evaluating the Influence of Temperature on the Efficacy of Capparis Decidua Extract as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Aluminium in Acidic Media
Abstract: The study investigates the anti-corrosive properties of the ethanolic extract of Capparis decidua fruit on aluminum corrosion in a 2N HCl acid solution, using a weight loss technique at temperatures ranging from 303 to 343 K. At a concentration of 0.45%, the inhibition efficiency (η%) is notably high, reaching 63.15% at 303 K. The inhibitor's adsorption behavior on the aluminum surface is consistent with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, suggesting that …

Risk Assessment of Nitration Process Using HAZOP and Fault Tree
Abstract: The present study addresses the safety issues associated with the nitration reactions. Since the nitration reaction is highly exothermic in nature exhibiting intense heat during the operation and may explode if wrongly handled, the risk assessment of nitration reaction is absolutely necessary. In the present work, the production of Ortho Nitro Chloro Benzene (ONCB) and Para Nitro Chloro Benzene (PNCB) is considered to perform the risk assessment of the nitration …

Comparative Thermal Stability of Structural Acrylic and Polyurethane Adhesives under High Heating Rate Conditions
Abstract: This study examines the thermal stability and degradation characteristics of structural acrylic and polyurethane adhesives through Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) at an elevated heating rate of 15 °C/min. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of rapid thermal excitation on the volatile loss of adhesives, their curing behaviour, and thermal decomposition profiles elements that are essential in high-speed manufacturing and thermally challenging settings. The findings indicated that …

Assessment of the Post-Harvest Chicken Egg Handling Practices in Gamo and Konso Zones of South Ethiopia
Abstract: The study was conducted starting from September to December 2024 in two districts of South Ethiopia with the objective of assessing the prevailing post-harvest chicken egg handling practices, storage materials, duration of storage, and marketing in the rural household. An aggregate of 120 family units were selected randomly from selected peasant area and interviewed by pre-tested questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, 2010) …

AR Coatings in Solar Efficiency: A Study
Abstract: In the global race toward renewable energy dominance, the focus often fixes upon the exotic materials within the photovoltaic cell: silicon type, junction structure, or emergent perovskites. Yet, the most immediate and profound efficiency gains are often secured by a layer so thin it is invisible, a film of optimized material applied directly to the glass interface: the Anti-Reflective (AR) coating. These coatings are not merely an expensive aesthetic choice; …
