There is hardly any forum pertaining to India-Japan relations without a reference to India’s Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing? (1983), portraying a retired soldier after WWII who makes his living by collecting empty wine bottles, caused an immediate sensation and was nominated for 11 Golden Horse Awards.

It soon symbolizes Mei’s pain, humiliation (her schoolmates sing it to tease her), and desire to escape from poverty. It also represents.....

Background: a composite nanoparticles containing Titanium Dioxide are synthesized bypulsed laser ablation. oxide nanoparticles NPs have wide ranges of physical, chemical and biological properties. The main advantages In the present work, studying the characterization of colloid TiO2 NPs were synthesis by PLAL and investigated the antibacterial activity of colloidal TiO2NPs compared to the antibacterial activity of synthesized composite nanoparticles was tested against four different pathogen bacteria two-gram negative (Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae )), institute of bioscience UPM university kindly supplied these bacteria. The bacterial suspension was made and adjusted by comparison against 0.5 Mc-Farland turbidity typical (5x 107cell ml-1) tubes. It was further diluted to obtain a final of 5 x 106cell ml-1. All bacteria strains were culture in agar media. The media was inoculated by the 0.2 ml/5ml with either the bacteria strains, then added 0.5 ml of.....

Soil erosion is among of the most acute issues facing in the world, from the loss of soil to natural resources and crop farmers. The main objectives of this study were to analyze and Land use Changes from year 2000 to 2015 and possible soil erosion rate in the future. All spatial analysis work has been carried out in GIS Environment using ArcGIS version 10.3 all data that use in this study were obtained from Department of Agriculture in Malaysia. The total area was 1227.80 Km2. Results showed that the proportion of agriculture land in the study area increased significantly from 2000 to 2015 (30% to 34.35% of the total study area, The forest area in the study area has been decreased from 45.1% in 2000 to 42.5% in 2015 because exploited and transformed into u urban area, where the urban area was recorded from 14.34% in 2000 to 17.93% in 2015 with values of 183.1 km2 to 216.16 km2 of study area.
