- words: 2666
- flesch: 45
- summary: Microalgae (2-200 µm) are organisms highly capable of utilizing solar energy and CO2 to create biomass and they are the primary producer for majority life on the planet (Wilkie et al., 2011). In addition, the estimated number of unknown species of algae is projected to be two orders of magnitude more than currently known species (Anderson, 1992; Norton et al., 1996).

- summary: Mechanism of iron oxide and SiO2 supported iron oxide NPs formations The reaction of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions under alkaline conditions has been the subject of extensive investigation (Bandhu et al., 2009; Valenzuela et al., 2009; Gnanaprakash et al., 2007; Vereda et al., 2007). The aim of the present work was to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles (iron oxide NPs and iron oxide NPs with the incorporation of silica gel (SiO2) particles (iron oxide NPs - SiO2), and evaluate their performance for the adsorption of Cr (VI) ions in aqueous solutions.

- summary: Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived factors that hinder mobile banking adoption by using a survey data and forecast its adoption rate using a secondary data from the National Bank of Ethiopia. Some of the policy implications are that; banks (both public plus private) has to promote and create awareness via explaining relative advantage of mobile banking adoption compared to other banking channels, create trust building campaign on mobile banking providers, improves analog complement such as mobile phone service language, and other regulations.

- summary: Several studies conducted on screening cellulolytic bacteria from different environments, such as rumen of Korean native goat (Min et al., 1994), rumen of cow, sheep, and goat (Oyeleke and Okusanmi, 2008), gut of the Ctenopharyngodon idellus (Jiang et al., 2011), paper mill sludges (Maki et al., 2011), rumen fluid of goat (Begum et al., 2013), soil (Sethi et al., 2013), rumen of inner Mongolia sheep (Liu et al., 2014), cecum part of intestine of Tibetan pig (Yang et al., 2014), rumen fluid waste of bovine abbatoir (Lokapirnasari et al., 2015), rumen of Labeo rohita (Majeed et al., 2016), molasses (Islam and Roy, 2018) and dumping sites (Chakraborty et al., 2019). Using CMC-Na as the sole carbon source in selective media, followed by the Congo red staining method for preliminary isolation of cellulolytic bacterium, is widely considered to be the best method for preliminary screening of cellulolytic bacteria because it is simple and fast (Yang et al., 2014).

- summary: 2. Ways in which Climate Change Aggravates Insect pests The increase in temperature associated with climatic change, would impact crop pest insect populations in several complex ways like expansion of geographic ranges of insect pests, increased over-wintering survival, increase in number of generations and rapid population growth, risk of introducing invasive alien species, increased risk of invasion by migrant pests, impact on pest population dynamics and outbreaks, breakdown of host-plant resistance, changes in insect- host plant interactions, increased incidence of insect- vectored plant diseases, reduced effectiveness of biological control agents, disruption of plant-pollinator interactions, and reduced effectiveness of crop protection technologies (Diffenbaugh1 et al., 2008; Sharma, 2010; Fand et al., 2012; Pareek et al., 2017). Prediction of changes in geographical distribution and population dynamics of insect pests will be useful for adapting pest management strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on crop production.

- summary: The findings of this test are in good agreement with the type of secondary metabolites reported earlier from the genus (Narihiko et al., 1986; Blech and Budzikiewicz, 1994; Ouyang et al., 1994) and these compounds might be responsible for the traditional medicinal use of the genus. Thus, based on the above spectral data and comparison with literature (Ouyang et al., 1994), compound 2 was suggested to be identical with canthin-6-one (Figure 3) previously isolated from roots of Brucea mollis (Ouyang et al., 1994).

- summary: Natural products have proven to be an important source of anticancer drugs (Cragg and Newman, 2005), identification of phytochemical cytotoxic entities that are effective against a range of cancer cell lines, less active or non-toxic against the normal cell population is an effective method for selection of fractions. For example, β-amyrin has been shown to exhibit various pharmacological activities in vitro and in vivo against inflammation, microbial, fungal, viral infections and cancer cells (Vázquez et al., 2012).

- summary: Split fuel injection involves reducing splitting the injection as two or more events which can lead to a reduction in the ignition delay in the initial fuel pulse. A novel scheme of experiments is adopted in the work to understand the influence of multiple injections by varying different parameters on the emissions from the engine.

- summary: Songfa et al. (2020) synthesized mesoporous silica supported CuZnO and they showed that antibacterial activities of mesoporous silica supported CuZnO were much better compared to mesoporous silica supported CuO and ZnO (Songfa et al., 2020) because of Cu doped ZnO have smaller band gap than ZnO, which result in reducing recombination rate of electron-holes that were formed during irradiation of visible light. Here, the combination of the CuO-ZnO doping, or Cu substitute Zn in ZnO or vice versa process may happen in CuO, which leads to reduced recombination rate.

Despite the fact that there are disparities on the available data for the mortality caused by waterborne and water related diseases in different years, still 3.4 million deaths were recorded every year by water related diseases (Ashbolt, 2004; WHO, 2013).

- summary: When comparing Gadaa indigenous governance system with modern democratic governance, it is possible to argue that Gadaa governance system is a better option of governance. Consequently, this study clearly point out the need to amalgamate the ideology of Gadaa governance system in the constitution of the state.

- summary: Biogas production The effect of calabash waste mixed with the donkey and sheep dung in the ratios 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 for biogas production was investigated in a 45L plastic container, using a 20-day retention period. Recommendation This study recommends mixing sheep and donkey dungs with calabash waste in the ratio of 1:1 by mass intended for biogas production from methane-generating systems., Calabash waste mixed with donkey dung in a ratio of 1:1 by mass is found to be a better alternative for the enhancement of biogas yield.

- summary: In worst case this segment of the local community was even forced to make coffee beverage from the husk (skin) of coffee cherry as an alternative to coffee beans (Abu, 2015) Coffee bean defects are described as foreign materials of non-coffee (e.g., stones/sticks) and non- bean origin (e.g., husks/hulls), abnormal beans regarding shape and visual appearance, such as black beans or any defect that impairs brewed coffee taste and flavor (Leroy et al., 2006). Dev., Vol. 6 (1), 2019 72 Correlation analysis of coffee bean defect point and OTA concentration in coffee bean samples indicated significant correlation between bean defect point and OTA concentration (r = 0.56, p < 0.00).

- summary: Other sources of conflict in coffee forest management include the absence of community participation during demarcation, prohibition of access to forest and non- timber forest products, how to manage coffee forest, increasing coffee price, increasing population pressure, lack of grazing area, and confiscation of people’s land during demarcation (Zewdie, 2010). Issues of natural resource management including coffee forest management are monitored at kebele level.

- summary: It was found that the maximum stress of Ara timber is higher than that of Apado, since ultimate stress of the material depends on its strength; hence Ara timber is of higher strength compared to Apado timber. The continuous equation for Ara timber was 𝜎 = 47.882−0.009𝜆 and that of Apado timber was 𝜎 = 17.211−0.007𝜆.
