The quality and assessment of a reservoir can be documented in details by the application of Work. This research aims to calculate fractal dimension from the relationship among Work, maximum Work and wetting phase saturation and to approve it by the fractal dimension derived from the relationship among capillary pressure and wetting phase saturation.

The spread of new fungal diseases forms one of the major challenges in a changing planet. The rise of the Sudden Oak Death Pathogen Phytophthora ramorum has caused severe economic damage to large forested areas in the Northern hemisphere. In this paper, we present a review on the available data on this relatively new disease in the framework of global biodiversity impairment. PDF

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) being an important vegetable crop is widely grown in tropical, temprate and subtropical regions of the world. Begomoviruses, such as okra yellow vein mosaic virus causing okra yellow vein mosaic viral disease (OYVMVD) and transmitted by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) in persistent non-propagative circulative is major threat for okra production in Baltistan PDF
Sea-ranching of salmonid fishes are common on the northen hemisphere as a way to counteract declining populations due to dam constructions or other anthropogenic factors that negatively affects the fishes. However, many studies have revealed that the wild form is superior under natural condition. Anti-predator responses, social behavior, and growth have so far mostly been investigated PDF
