Study of Clinico-Mycologic Profile and Antifungal Susceptibility Pattern of Dermatophytic Infection in the North-Western Zone of Rajasthan

Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the regeneration status and importance of Hypahene thebaica L. and associated species in Tekeze riparian vegetation of the North western zone of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. Study Design: Systematic sampling technique. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out along Tekeze riverine vegetation, northern Ethiopia between January 2015 and March 2015. Methodology: Three transects (one and two transects on the right and left side of the Tekeze River, respectively) were laid. The distance between the two transects on the left side of the river was 200 m. Along the transects, 30 plots were established systematically at intervals of 100 m to collect vegetation data. Results: Eighteen plant species belonging to 12 families were recorded. Fabaceae was found to be the dominant family in the study area and were represented by five species, which contributed to 27.7% of the total species documented, whereas nine families were represented by one species each. The overall density of the study area was 70.97 individuals/ha. Hyphaene thebaica was the second abundant species with 16.13 individuals/ha, and contributed 22.7% to the total density of the riparian vegetation. The total basal area of plants was 1.03 m2 ha-1. Hyphaene thebaica was ranked third and accounts for 12.6% of the total basal area with 0.13 m2 ha-1. The species was the most frequent with 17.02%, followed by Ricinus communis and Balanites aegyptiaca. Balanites aegyptiaca (53.52%), H. thebaica (52.37%) and Ricinus communis (51.76%) were the three most important species. Conclusion: More mature trees were documented than saplings and seedlings, indicating “poor’’ regeneration status for the riparian vegetation. Hyphaene thebaica has shown “fair’’, while most species were found to have “poorly’’ or “no’’ regenerating. Hence a sound management plan is urgently required to sustainably utilize and conserve the riverine vegetation.

Методом капиллярного электрофореза изучен качественный состав и количественное содержание органических кислот в соках и виноматериалах из винограда сортов Ркацители и Молдова, выращенных в экологических условиях равнины и предгорья северо-западной зоны Дагестана. Идентифицировано восемь компонентов: винная, лимонная, молочная, муравьиная, уксусная, щавелевая, яблочная и янтарная кислоты. Превалировали винная и яблочная кислоты, которые, как и уксусная, содержались во всех опытных образцах. Количество обнаруженных органических кислот составляло от 0,01 (молочная и янтарная) до 3,31 г/дм3 (винная). Их наибольшая общая массовая концентрация определена в соке из винограда сорта Ркацители – 5,3 г/дм3. Отмечено, что суммарное содержание этих компонентов в образцах соков и виноматериалов из винограда сортов Ркацители и Молдова незначительно зависит от высоты места произрастания винограда над уровнем моря. Этот природный фактор обусловливает различия в соотношениях кислот, особенно при формировании их пулов в виноматериалах. Органические кислоты, обнаруженные в исследованных образцах продуктов переработки винограда, способны влиять на появление неординарных нюансов цвета, вкуса и аромата, повышающих качество шампанских вин и коньяков. The qualitative composition and quantitative content of organic acids in juices and wine materials from grapes of Rkatsiteli and Moldova grown under the ecological conditions of the plains and foothills of the North West zone of Dagestan were studied by the method of capillary electrophoresis. Eight components are identified: wine, lemon, dairy, ant, acetic, oxalic, apple and amber acids. The amount of the found organic acids was 0,01 (dairy and amber acids) – 3,31 g/dm3 (wine acid). Their highest general mass concentration is defined in juice from Rkatsiteli – 5,3 g/dm3. It is noted that the total content of these components in the samples of juice and wine materials from grapes of Rkatsiteli and Moldova slightly depends on the height of your growing grapes above the sea level. This natural factor causes differences in ratios of acids, especially when forming their pools in wine materials. The organic acids found in the studied products of processing made from Rkatsiteli and Moldova grapes are capable to influence emergence of the extraordinary nuances of color, taste and aroma increasing quality of sparkling wines and cognacs.

The study was conducted to compare the rate of change of selective climatic variables such as annual maximum and minimum temperature, annual total rainfall and annual average humidity among the three different climatic sub-regions (Western zone, northwestern zone and north-eastern zone) of Bangladesh. Annual averages of climatic parameters were calculated to analyze the trend lines, variation and change rate of climatic parameter during the study period. Five years moving average rainfall and humidity were also determined. It was observed that change rate of annual maximum temperature and annual average maximum temperature both were highest in north-eastern zone at the rate of 0.048 and 0.046°C per year, respectively. Highest annual minimum temperature change rate (0.003°C per year) was also found in the north-eastern zone but highest annual average minimum temperature change rate (0.034°C per year) was found in the north-western zone. Average annual rainfall was decreasing insignificantly in all the three climatic sub-regions whereas the highest change rate (21.50 mm per year) was observed in the north-eastern zone of Bangladesh. Highest annual average humidity change rate (0.113% per year) was found in the north-western zone of Bangladesh and five years moving average of annual average humidity was increasing at the highest rate of 0.132% per year in the north-western zone of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J.

Agriculture is most important part for living people. Crop prediction analysis is more useful analysis to choose the particular crop for cultivation in particular season. In this paper, a hybridization technique that is Artificial Bee Colony with weighted based Fuzzy Clustering algorithm was proposed to predict a district which produces a most high yield in the north western zone of Tamilnadu in that particular district. North western zone of Tamilnadu consist four districts such as Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Namakkal and Salem. In this research work the proposed algorithm shows that the district in the north western zone of Tamilnadu which yields high production of particular crop for that particular season. In north western zone of Tamilnadu, Crop prediction analysis consider as high yield area, moderate yield area and low yield area as district wise. The Experimental result shows that hybridized artificial bee colony with weighted based fuzzy clustering algorithm yields better performance than other clustering algorithm like k-means and kmedoids with high accuracy.
