Abstract: Centipedes are predatory, terrestrial arthropods and are found primarily in tropics, they are relatives of the insects. The name "centipede" literally means 100 legs, and without a doubt some species of centipedes have almost 100 legs. Centipedes can be identified by their long, segmented body with each segment bearing one pair of legs. Centipedes are predators; they feed on any small crawling organisms they can catch. Centipedes are seen in a range of habitats but typically they can be found in moist, secluded places such as under stones, under logs, leaves or bark. There are few genus among them Scolopendra is the giant centipede, may also be common in parts of northern Western Ghats of India. Among all the centipedes, Scolopendra is considered to be the most dangerous because of its venomous fangs and aggressive behavior. Centipedes of the genus Scolopendra are active predators.......

Abstract: Background:Benghazi Lake is one of important Landmarks in the center of Benghazi city. It suffers a huge contamination because of sewage discourages.so the presentstudyaims to monitor and recodralgaespeciesfrom the surface water of benghazialgaethatcanbeindicators for Lake pollution. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six samples were collected bi-monthly from 3 stations from Benghazi lake between march and august 2021 from the surface layer. All samples were fixed by 4% formalin and stored in the laboratory for microscopic analysis. Species cell density was determined by Utermöhl method, and Shannon-Weaver index and Simpson's index were calculated. Results: The present phytoplankton listcomprised......

Abstract: Background: Sesame is grown in almost all tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa for its seeds and oil from the seeds. Hence, Nigeria seeks to expand its production and explore other markets including making inroads into the European Union (EU) and Mediterranean markets. However, the stringency of the food safety standards of the developed countries has posed a stiff challenge to the participation in the world trade in agricultural produce. In Nigeria, sesame export has dwindled due to the detection of aflatoxin contamination levels above the United States and European......

Abstract: Color is the foremost attraction of any textile material like fiber, yarn, fabric or garments. No matter how outstanding its structure, if unsuitably colored it is bound to be a letdown as a commercial fabric. Manufacture and use of synthetic dyes for fabric dyeing has therefore become an enormous industry today. Synthetic dyes have provided a wide range of color fastness, bright hues. However, their toxic nature has become a cause of grave concern to environmentalists. Use of synthetic dyes has an adverse effect on all forms of life. Presence of Sulphur, naphthol, vat dyes, nitrates, acetic acid, soaps, enzymes chromium compounds, caustic soda and heavy metals like copper, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury.......
