    The basic of this project was installation of new CSD (carbonated soft drink) RGB (returnable glass bottle) line with comply food safety and final validation of line. New manufacturing line installation deals with installation of all equipment and machine require for smooth running and producing CSD for COCA-COLA company (Coca-Cola, Thums UP, Limca) such as conveyer belt, uncasing machine, light inspection station, bottle washer EBI (electronic bottle inspection ) machine, Paramix, Filler, Sealer, Date coding machine, caser etc. During installation of machine we have fulfill requirement related to machine, work space, hygienic condition so that machine can work smoothly and deliver safe food product The main concern of doing this project was deliver a safe product to the consumer by applying HACCP and ISO22K. I have done hazard analysis and validation of this new installed line and identify CCP and OPRP which need to control by applying control measure

    An understanding of how volatilities of and correlations between commodity returns change over time including their directions (positive or negative) and size (stronger or weaker) is of crucial importance for both the domestic and international investors with a view to diversifying their portfolios for hedging against unforeseen risks. This paper is an humble attempt to add value to the existing literature by empirically testing the ‘timevarying’ and ‘scale dependent’ volatilities of and correlations of the sample commodities. Particularly, by incorporating scale dependence, it is able to identify unique portfolio diversification opportunities for different set of investors bearing different investment horizons or holding periods. In order to address the research objectives, we have applied the vector error-correction test and several recently introduced econometric techniques such as the Maximum Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT), Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Multivariate GARCH – Dynamic Conditional Correlation. The data used in this paper is the daily data of seven commodities (crude oil, gas, gold, silver, copper, soybean and corn) prices from 1 January 2007 until 31 December 2013

    Introduction: Haplophyllum tuberculatum, belonging to the Rutaceae family, is distributed in south-eastern regions of Iran, particularly in Baloochestan. This study was aimed to investigate and collect scientific reports such as morphological characteristics, phytochemical compounds, ecology, biotechnology and evaluation of the therapeutic properties of this valuable medicinal plant.Methods: In order to gather the information the keywords Haplophyllum tuberculatum, botany, genetic, biotechnology, therapeutic, and pharmacology were searched until 2016 from journals accessible in databases such as Scopus, EBSCO, Science Direct, Medline, PubMed, Embase, SID and Iran Medex.Results: The results in this study revealed various pharmacological properties including anti-cancer, antioxidantant, uterus-relaxing, anti-bacterial and anti-HIV activities for this plant which are probably due to the presence of aromatic compounds such as two alkaloids named haplophytin-a and B, and essential oils.Conclusion: Haplophyllum tuberculatum possesses various pharmacological properties and the bioactive molecules of this plant play an important role in human health, hence, it might be used for different drug productions.</p

    Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries need adequate energy to achieve socio-economic growth and development. According to recent statistics, only 30 per cent of the entire population have access to power, making the region the highest in the world with people without access to electricity. This is in sharp contrast with the abundant energy resources available, which could be harnessed to provide the needed energy. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the determinants of aggregate energy demand in SSA. Reliable secondary macroeconomic and energy data were collected from publicly available and widely used databases. The study uses a panel cointegration technique to examine the determinants of energy demand in SSA, over the period from 1980 to 2014, for selected countries in the region. Our results reveal that income is the predominant factor behind the increase in energy demand in SSA, with the highest elasticity. Furthermore, energy demand in SSA conforms to a priori expectations of a negative price elasticity. The results are in line with the theory of demand. Significantly, we also find that urbanisation an important role for energy demand. Stringent energy conservation policy and other recommendations flow from the findings

    Genotyping of Hepatitis B Virus in HBsAg Positive Individuals Referred to the Health Centers of Shahrekord, Iran

    Background & aim: Hepatitis B Virus is one of the most important viral hepatitis which includes eight genotypes based on genetic variations in the gene encoding virus RNA polymerase. Clinical picture, treatment response and prognosis of HBV infection is genotype dependent. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the HBV genotypes in HBsAg-positive individuals. . Methods: This experimental study was conducted on one hundred and sixteen HBsAgpositiveindividuals referred to the health centers of Shahrekord, Iran, in 2011. Firstly, the viral nucleic acid was extracted from serum samples and subsequently, the samples were subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Finally, genotyping was carried out on the positive samples, using Real-time PCR with type specific primers and probes. The data were analyzed using the chisquare test. Results: 23 out of 116 (19.8%) of the HBsAg-positive individuals were positive for HBV DNA. 17 out of 23 (73.9%) and 6 out of 23 (26.1%) of the patients were found to be infected with HBV genotypes of D and C, respectively. Conclusion: Same as other regions of Iran, genotype D, , is the dominate genotype of HBV in Shahrekord, Iran. However, genotype C may be one of the other common genotypes in this region
