This paper involves the impacts of buoyancy forces, thermal conductivity, chemically diffusion, and Arrhenius activation energy. Moreover, the influence of the suspension of gyrotactic microorganisms in the nanofluids is also a part of this study. It is assumed that the behavior of viscosity varies as a function of time and the suspension of microorganisms remain consistent throughout the study. A system of PDEs is reduced to a solvable system of ODEs by applying a suitable similarity transformation. For the sake of numerical solutions, the shooting method has been employed. Wolfram Mathematica has been used to deal with the BVP. In addition, the behaviors of different emerging parameters comprising velocity outline, temperature outline, concentration distribution, the density outline of gyrot...

The lack of knowledge about dietary practices of autistic caregivers is perceived as the triggering factor of 'Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this particular 'Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) Survey' the knowledge (K) of nutrition, attitude (A) of children towards such nutrition and dietary practices (P) among the caregivers of autistic children. The pre-testing and post-testing for knowledge has been observed. The knowledge questionnaire was designed to facilitate the caregivers to determine their knowledge regarding the dietary patterns of autistic children. Methods: This quasi-experimental study comprised of 50 caregivers (particularly mothers, and fathers in a few instances) of autistic children enrolled at Amin Maktab Center for Special Education Lahore. The nutrition education program was developed and participants were enrolled. Analysis of the change in knowledge, attitude and practice of autistic caregivers through pre-testing and post-testing at a gap of four months was carried out using statistical tests. Results: The pre-testing and post-testing phase of the study revealed significant improvement in (a) basic knowledge about nutritional needs of autistic children (22% vs. 100%), (b) practicing patient-tailored special diet (34% vs. 92%) and (c) resolution of food allergies (62% vs. 16%) in autistic children. The most important benchmark in this regard was Body Mass Index (BMI) of children where deranged BMI improved significantly (p = 0.000) to normal BMI in pre-and post-testing phases. Conclusions: Lack of knowledge is higher among aforementioned caregivers of concerned autistic children. Adoption of nutrition education programs by anutistic caregivers helps in creating optimal knowledge, attitude and practices regarding nutritional needs of autistic children for effective targeted behavior and management.

In this paper we also study that which type of factors effect organizational behavior and employee satisfaction in an organization, either in a positive or a negative way. The total number of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents was selected from different organizations which are working on the development sector. The respondents or the employees who were considered are managers, staff members, professionals and senior managers. SPSS 20.0 version was used for analysis. This study shows the extensive impact of job satisfaction on organizational performance in different organizations. The findings of this study show that the factors like reward system, promotions, bonuses and increase in salary are playing an important role to satisfy, attract and retain the employees. We also find that the senior employees are more satisfied than the employees who are less experienced. The research lim...

Wilczek] lines, 97001 and 97012. The plants of both lines were grown in equal weight plastic pots for 30 days under normal natural conditions, after which time two drought regimes [control (wellwatering and 60 % field capacity)] were applied. Data for various attributes were recorded after 30 days of drought application while at maturity, yield attributes were recorded. Water deficit conditions caused a considerable reduction in growth attributes, net CO 2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, electron transport ratio, total phenolics, leaf Ca 2+ and yield attributes. Imposition of water deficit conditions significantly increased leaf tocopherol contents and activity of catalase in both mungbean lines. Both lines showed a considerable variation in growth attributes, the line 97001 being better in performance compared with 97012 under water deficit conditions.

The present study was designed to check the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of MSSA from three different animal origins (bovine, caprine and pet). A total of n= 450 samples (150 each source) were collected from bovine, caprine and pets. Collected samples were subjected to S. aurues identification by microbiological examination and confirmed S. aurues isolates were put to oxacillin disk diffusion test to declare them MSSA. The MSSA confirmed isolates were subjected to various antibiotics for susceptibility profiling using Kirby Baur Disk Diffusion test. The present study found higher prevalence of MSSA from caprine origin (goat 83.33%) as compared to pet (cat 69.33%; dog 65.33%) and bovine origin (buffalo 26.66%; cattle 31.66%). The in-vitro findings of current study revealed oxytetracycline and gentamicin presented 100% efficacy against MSSA...
