This research was carried out to investigate the physicochemical parameters of livestock drinking water samples collected from Falfal, Degehabur and Bulale areas in Somali regional state of Ethiopia. The objective of this research was to analyze the physicochemical parameters of water ponds used for livestock drink. The result was recorded that, the pH, Temperature, Total Dissolved Solid and Total hardness was 7.17°C ± 0.03°C, 22.51°C ± 0.18°C, 17.50 ± 2.60 mg/L and 825.22 ± 92.18 mg/L, respectively. The mean concentration of Chloride ion, Magnesium ion and calcium ion was 422.09 ± 64.05 mg/L, 61.37 ± 6.56 mg/L, and 200.70 13.23 mg/L, respectively. The mean Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biological Oxygen Demand were also recorded which was 12.67 0.54 mg/L and 7.47 0.67 mg/L, respectively.
The obtained results were also compared to the national and international standards to determine the quality of livestock drinking water. Accordingly, the measured pH was in agreement with World health organization and Ethiopian standards agency standards, which was 6.5 to 8.5. The Temperature, Total hardness and chloride ion concentration was above the standard limit set by World health organization and Ethiopian standards agency. The concentration of Total Dissolved Solid, Mg2+ and Ca2+ was in agreement with World health organization and Ethiopian standards agency standards. The standards for Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biological Oxygen Demand were not available both from World health organization and Ethiopian standards agency.
A study on electrochemical deposition in a triple-component CoNiFe system from a chloride electrolyte solution with equal concentrations of Co, Ni, and Fe was performed. The concentrations used were 0.48; 0.083; 0.00625 mol/l, and the temperature was 70°Ð¡. The relative content of the components in the film approached the composition of the electrolyte, though the concentration of each component was slightly decreased. The dependence of the composition of films on the current density is explained by concentration polarization.

In this paper the influence of solvent dielectric constant on the rate of oxidation of p-methoxybenzaldehyde and pmethylbenzaldehyde with t-BuOCl has been studied in various solvent mixtures of acetic acid and water. The results indicate that in the oxidation of p-methoxybenzaldehyde with t-BuOCl the rate increases with increase in the percentage of acetic acid (from 10% to 40%), but the rate decreases with further increace in acetic acid content (50-80% HOAc). In the oxidation of p-methylbenzaldehyde with t- BuOCl the rate is maximum at 50% HOAc and decreases on either side of this percentage.

A highly efficient, solvent-free and versatile greener protocol was developed for the synthesis of coumarins from resorcinol an ethyl acetoacetate via Pechmann condensation using heterogeneous recyclable FeCl3/MCM41 catalyst. This method is simple, cost effective, and benefits from the elimination of waste streams generated with conventional acid catalysts. The influence of catalyst calcination temperature as well as various solvent on conversion and product selectivity has also been studied in this work. The developed FeCl3/ MCM41 catalysts showed excellent catalytic performance with 60%-75% yields for coumarins, depending on the catalyst pretreatment and reaction conditions used. Moreover, FeCl3/MCM41 catalyst treated at 400°C can be reused efficiently for five times without a significant loss of its activity, which was attributed to synergistic effects of metal-support interactions, especially unique acid-redox properties of FeCl3.

Aflatoxin producing substances are extremely dangerous to humans and can result in cancer when taken in foods contaminated with aflatoxin. In this study, the levels of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2) in samples of maize collected from several Shebelle Zone districts were quantified. It was examined using a fluorescence detector and UHPLC. The extraction solvents (80:20 v/v percent) were methanol and water. Standard solutions of aflatoxins between 0.5 and 7 g/kg (ppb) demonstrated strong linearity from the calibration curve with regression coefficient (R2) values of >0.9989. The spiked sample average percentage recoveries ranged from 89.78 to 97.87 percent. The average total aflatoxin values in the maize samples from K1, K2, and K3 were 0.14, 356.19, and 174.05 g/kg, respectively. Except for K1, all of the investigated maize samples had aflatoxin levels that above the upper tolerance limits established by international agencies like WHO, and the EU.
Effect of metallic deposited nanoparticles on screen printed carbon with tetrathiafulvalene incorporated ink, was tested by three electrochemical procedures. First one electrodeposition at constant potential and two cyclic voltammetry procedures that applied changes in step potential, scan rate and delay time. X-rays Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electronic and Atomic Force Microscopy (SEM) and (AFM) respectively were performed and metallic nanoparticles deposits were characterized through their SEM images. XRF provide metal percentage deposited by electrochemical procedures. AFM parameters let to know electrodes modi ied surface characteristics. Nanoparticles electrochemically deposited electrodes were modi ied with superoxide dismutase enzyme and tested on epinephrine biosensor amperometric calibration curves. Platinum Nanoparticles (PtNPs) modi ied electrodes nature surpasses AFM surface parameters. There is correlation between low AFM parameters and high slope epinephrine calibration curve excepting PtNPs case. Nanoparticles of platinum deposited by cyclic voltammetry procedure 1 showed higher epinephrine slope calibration curve than the others nanoparticles deposited by constant potential and cyclic voltammetry procedure. Higher linearity and stability was showed for PtNPs performed cyclic voltametry procedure; this one was selected to validation of biosensor. Developed biosensor showed reproducibility of 2.9% and detection limit of 22.8 μm. Biosensor analysis of epinephrine pharmaceutical injection was 103.1% with RSD 5.4%.

Rice is a staple food for more than 50% of the global population and there is close relationship between rice eaters and the prevalence of diabetes. Among the landraces, ‘Kavuni’ is considered as a traditional brownish black variety which is extensively cultivated in the southern part of India, Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University is among the first State Agricultural University to release therapeutic rice in 2023 as Co.57. This study aimed to identify and quantify the major anti-diabetic compounds present in Kavuni rice grain extracted using various solvents. Metabolite profiling using LC-QTOF-MS analysis has revealed that 31 phytochemicals detected among them anthocyanins and flavonoids are predominant. Ethanolic extract of Kavuni rice grain had the highest concentration of anthocyanins, cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (61.31 ± 0.04 mg/g). The highest antioxidant activities in the ethanolic extract of Kavuni rice were detected as 89.51 ± 0.1% and 82.97 ± 0.09% measured using anti-oxidant assays. Further, Kavuni rice had the highest inhibition of carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) 82.30% and 70.21%, respectively. The data clearly demonstrated that land race “Kavuni” carries phytochemicals that are known to regular postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting anti-diabetic enzyme could lower the risk of developing Type-2 diabetes.
