Synodontis punctifer is an endemic species in Ivory Coast. Its breeding strategies have been determined in Taabo Lake for sustainable management of stocks. In January and December 2016, 848 specimens were harvested, of which 367 downstream against 481 upstream. The s*x ratio was 1: 1.1 downstream and 1: 1.4 upstream in favor of females. The upstream landed fish consisting of all stages of development were large (13.82 ± 2 cm LF) compared to those downstream (12.31 ± 1.49 cm LF) where no mature individual was captured. There is a migration of juveniles from downstream to upstream for spawning. The first maturity size of males 16.5 cm (LF) is greater than females (16.1 cm LF). The evolution of the g***do-somatic ratio (RGS) and frequency of g***d maturation stages showed that S. punctifer breeds between August and September and is believed to be due to flooding in the lake. The absolute fecundity (Fa) of S. punctifer at Taabo lake was estimated at between 2735 to 20218 oocytes, an average of 6757 ± 4094.67 oocytes for females between 13 cm and 20.5 cm (LF) in size. These oocytes have diameters ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 mm, an average of 0.97 mm ± 0.09 at the time of egg-laying. As for relative fertility (Fr), it varied from 28,000 oocytes to 35,000 oocytes, an average of 123,000 ± 58,75 oocytes per kg of body weight. S. punctifer is a less prolific fish producing large size oocytes.
Keywords: First maturity - spawning period - fecundity - S. punctifer - Taabo hydroelectric dam (Ivory Coast).

Title: Backward Difference and Ratio Operations: Representation of Numerical Data on a Pair of Variables by a Polynomial Curve

Authors: Dhritikesh Chakrabarty

Abstract: One method has been constructed for representing a given set of numerical data on a pair of variables by a polynomial curve due to the necessity of such method/formula in interpolation by the approach which consists of the representation of numerical data by a suitable polynomial first and then to compute the value of the dependent variable from the polynomial corresponding to any given value of the independent variable. The method is based on two numerical operations namely backward difference operation and ratio operation. This paper describes the theoretical derivation of the method with numerical example in order to show the application of the method developed to numerical data.

Title: Development of Beans Dehulling Machine

Authors: Olutayo L.A, Mogaji K.O, Fawohunre A.J and Akinfiresoye W.A

Abstract: Beans are dehulled from its coat locally, which has been in existence for long i.e. use of mortar and pestle to pound soaked beans. Improvement on this technology has been the focuses of study in dehulled beans seed. It is worthwhile, to note that the production and consumption of bean seeds have a great influence on the nutrition. In Nigeria the mechanized method of dehulling is required to boost dehulled beans production. Therefore, a beans dehulling machine that is easy to operate, maintain and at low -cost was designed and fabricated. The major components of the machine are; frame, hopper, dehulling chamber (abrasive material) and the discharged unit. The working principle of the machine is by feeding a soaked beans into the machine through the hopper, as the shaft rotate, it also carries it until the beans travel radially along the roller; the abrasive surface of the insulator dehulls it from its coat. The dehulled beans and its coat come out through the machine outlet in the lower half of the dehulling chamber. The bean dehulled is a function of the clearance between the hopper and the Dehulling chamber. The machine had a throughput of 45 kg/hr. and functional efficiency of 70 %. The total production cost of the machine was N65, 200 as at time of fabrication.it is recommended for small and medium producers of processed beans

Title: The Form of Introducing the Blended Learning Using the A'WOT Method

Authors: Dr .Nevzudin Buzadjija, Edin Tabak and Fatima Buzađija

Abstract: High school education has many problems due to lack of development strategy, lack of market needs analysis, adequate ways of monitoring student achievements and its evaluation, lack of innovative teaching methods and inadequate environment in terms of the location of the education system. It is therefore necessary to develop a strategy for the introduction of blended learning along with the reform of the classical educational process. The goal of the SWOT analysis is to present a method that will help in the evaluation of the school strategies. The usage of integrated SWOT method and AHP hierarchical structure is modified, because the aim is to determine weighted values of criterion factors using the AHP method SWOT analysis. This method will establish the best alternatives for the introduction of blended learning and its integration in the development strategy of the 21st century school system.

Title: E-learning Challenges and Strategies: How to get
Implementation right: A discussion paper

Authors: Farai Choga

Abstract: E-learning is a new phenomenon for students in developing countries.
Many authors have cited benefits offered by this new learning system. Okkoyunlu and
Soyluin (2008) pointed out that it presents the course content for long periods, allows
learning process anytime and every day of the week throughout the year, reaches more
people and suitable for working adults. However there are many challenges for
institutions to get e-learning implementation process right. Such challenges as lack of
confidence in sharing ideas online, frustration and fatigue due to large amount of work
uploaded, large class sizes and lack of appropriate online pedagogy are experienced.
Many strategies can be used and among them are: catering for individual learner
needs, use of mobile phones, suitable and well-designed learning materials, staff
incentives and learning from others that have done it successfully.

Title: The Relevance of Information and Communication
Technology to Urban and Regional Planning

Authors: Akindele O. Akin and Olatoke Wole

Abstract: The paper discusses the relevance of information and communications
technology, (ICT) and the need for Urban and Regional Planning (URP) practices to
incorporate its use as a necessary change in the techniques of the profession. This is
in the light of the potential improvements that the use of ICT may bring Urban and
Regional Planning practices. The paper relied on the literature that existed on the
subject of information and usage of computer in general, to sieve out the relevance of
the same to the teaching and practice of Urban and Regional Planning. Changes in the
traditional prerequisites governing the teaching and learning of Urban and Regional
Planning was advocated and ICT which is seen as the main driving force in the
development of the information society, should be taken into account in urban and
regional planning as an important new aspect in this process. This is believed to be
helping planning into a better precision and integrity. Improved curriculum in
planning schools to necessarily embrace ICT as well as the inclusion of ICT in the
planning processes and plan preparations are some of the major recommendations of
the study

Title: Secured Palmprint Recognition Using Radon Transform for Biometric Authentication

Authors: Ms.D.Binu, Dr.P.Malathi, Ms.R.Gayathri, Mr.K.VijayAnand

Abstract: Multi biometrics provides more identification accuracy than single biometrics,
because they are more suitable for real time personal identification applications as they
need high-standard security. Though various biometrics technologies are available palm
print identification has received better attention because of its better performance.
Combination of the right and right palm print images obtains better results. Multi
biometrics is done by comprehensively combining the right and right palm images.
Matching score-level fusion is performed by three kinds of scores which is generated
from the right and right palmprint images. Initially the two kinds of scores are generated
from the right and right palmprint images and the same one can be obtained by a few
palmprint recognition methods, whereas the third kind of score was obtained using a
particular algorithm which was proposed in this manuscript. As the planned algorithm
carefully takes the nature of the right and right palmprint descriptions into account, it can
accurately exploit the similarity of the right and right palmprints of the same matter. The
proposed weighted combination method allowed better identification compared with
previous palmprint identification methods.

Title: Ecofriendly polymers: Influence of Organically Modified Montmorillonite Clay on Thermo-Mechanical and Crystalline Kinetics of Polyurethane-Clay Hybrid Composites

Authors: V. Swapna , Kishore K Jena , M. Lakshmi Kantam, Ramanuj Narayan and S. Gangadhar Rao

Abstract: The present work describes development of eco-friendly high performance PU-Urea / Clay hybrid composites based on organically modified MMT clay, using PCL and CTAB as surfactant. Originally modified clay was synthesized by using CTAB modified montmorillonite. Organically MMT clay was synthesized and blended with PCL, which is biodegradable in different weight % (2%, 3% and 5%). The resulting blend was treated with MDI (diisocyanate) in order to prepare biodegradable PU-Urea clay hybrids composites. In order to get fine clay deposition, CTAB modified montmorillonite (MMT) clay was introduced into the diol matrix by ultrasonication method before the reaction with diisocyanate (MDI). The NCO/OH ratio in the coatings was 1.4:1. The excess isocyanates of the NCO terminated prepolymers were reacted with moisture. The synthesized hybrids were well characterized by FTIR, TGA, DSC, XRD and UTM techniques. The effect of clay content on the thermal and mechanical properties of the hybrid composites was described.

Title: Molecular Analysis of Anti-salinity Compounds on Date Palm offshoots (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars using RAPD techniques

Authors: Hussein J. Shareef , Abbas M. Jasim; Muayed F. Abbas

Abstract: Date Palm, as one of the important fruit crops, has grown worldwide. The aim of the present study was to analyze the overall growth of the two cultivar growth under salinity after anti- salinity treatments. Both the cultivars analyzed for the growth contributing parameters as compared with their respective control. To study the genetic variability in both cultivars offshoots after anti-salinity treatment, DNA fingerprinting was performed using RAPD technology. The results showed that the application of anti- salinity treatments significantly increased the leaf area and the number of new leaves compared to control. Also, the anti-salinity treatments significantly increased total soluble carbohydrates and proline compared to control. Some of the anti-salinity treatments effect on DNA molecular markers, especially the treatment of Salicylic acid at 1000 ppm offshoot-1 gave the highest percentage of Polymorphism using OPH-6, OPH-12 and OPA-10 primers in Sayer cultivar. Whereas the treatment of Salicylic acid at 1000 ppm offshoot-1 gave the Polymorphism percentage with Berhi cultivar when using an OPA-10 primer only. Overall, the data suggest that anti-salinity treatment has the ability to alter the percentage of offshoots growth, and can be used to improved tolerance of date palm offshoots adaptation to salinity tolerance using RAPD techniques.

Title: Energetics of Wind Driven Surface Waves in Front of Port Said, Egypt

Authors: M.S. Elsharkawy, T.M. El-Geziry and S.H. Sharaf El-Din

Abstract: This paper is a preliminary study of the parameters of wind driven surface waves propagating in front of Port Said, Egypt, particularly wave frequency and wave energy. The temporal distribution and inter-relations of nine wave parameters: significant wave height (Hs); maximum wave height (Hmax); peak wave period (Tp); zero crossing wave period (Tz); maximum wave period (Tmax); significant wave period (Ts); wave frequency (f); wave energy (E); and wave displacement angle (Θ) have been studied. The investigation revealed that wave frequency in front of Port Said was concentrated between 0.22 - 0.35 Hz, and the bulk of wave energy existed in the interval 100 - 9000 J, which could be considered as a moderate wave energy resource.
