The object of this communication is to give an account of an experiment, carried through in the autumn and winter season of 1934–5, designed to determine the changes in composition involved in making silage by the ordinary, molasses and A.I.V. processes. The changes in composition included those of both crude as well as digestible nutrients.

We aim to examine how season and temperature levels affect physical activity using a wearable device among patients scheduled to undergo surgical resection of lung cancer. Physical activity (PA) data from the wearable device were analyzed by seasons for 555 preoperative lung cancer patients from the CATCH-LUNG cohort study. The seasons were divided into spring, summer, autumn, and winter using the study enrollment date before surgery. The overall mean (SD) age was 61.1 (8.9) years, and the mean (SD) daily steps at each season were 11,438 (5922), 11,147 (5065), 10,404 (4403), and 8548 (4293), respectively. In the fully-adjusted models, patients in the winter season had 27.04% fewer daily steps (95% CI = −36.68%, −15.93%) and 35.22% less time spent performing moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) compared to patients in the spring. The proportion of participants with over 8000 steps and duration of MVPA were significantly lower in the winter than the spring. In particular, daily steps had a negative linear association with wind chill temperature in patients who lived in Seoul. In conclusion, PA was significantly lower in the winter and it was more robust in patients who had a low cardiorespiratory function.

The Alaknanda River is one of the main rivers of Alaknanda sub- system which bubbles out from Alkapuri Glacier. Water quality of the sacred river Alaknanda was evaluated by microbiological and physico- chemical methods. The sampling was undertaken from various sites of lower stretches, including Rudraprayag (530 m a.s.l.), Srinagar (560 m a.s.l.) and Deoprayag upstream (457 m a.s.l.) on the river Alaknanda. A perusal of the data revealed that total viable count (CFU.ml-1) was recorded minimum (25,850 CFU.ml-1) in winter season and then it increased during summer (45,730 CFU.ml-1) and attained peak (56,110 CFU.ml-1) during monsoon season, when the maximum degradation in the water quality was observed. Due to the onset of autumn and winter seasons, the quality of water improved substantially and the density of the bacteria decreased (32,120 CFU.ml-1) significantly during autumn from the monsoon season. It is revealed that the myriad of physico- chemical environmental variables and nutrient load from various sources in the habitat environment are responsible for density and diversity in the sacred river Alakanda.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of modified housing system on physiological parameters like rectal temperature, skin temperature, plasma cortisol level, respiration rate and pulse rate (counts/min) of Murrah buffaloes during autumn and winter seasons. A total of 14 lactating Murrah buffaloes were randomly selected and divided into two groups, on the basis of age, body weight (BW) and parity (P). T1=First group (n=7; BW=544.86kg; P=2.14) of buffaloes was housed under existing loose housing system and T2=Second group (n=7; BW=547.71kg; P=2.28) of buffaloes was housed under modified shed. In the present study, in autumn and winter season the mean rectal temperature were (T1=101.56±0.06 vs. T2=100.94±0.12ºF and T1=100.71±0.10 vs. T2=100.22±0.08ºF), skin temperature were (T1=95.19±0.61 vs. T2=93.01±0.57 ºF and T1=90.27±0.23 vs. T2=89.06±0.27 ºF) and plasma cortisol level (T1=4.04±0.23 vs. T2=3.31±0.21 and T1=3.19±0.12 vs. T2=2.70±0.14 ng/ml) respectively. These parameters were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in buffaloes housed under T2 as compared to T1 in autumn season, respiration rate (T1=37.39±1.02 vs. T2=30.99±1.21 and T1=26.56±0.84 vs. T2=23.81±0.66 counts/min.) was significantly lower in autumn (P less than 0.01) and winter season (P less than 0.0) and pulse rate (T1=60.91±1.17 vs. T2=52.52±1.44 and T1=55.01±0.52 vs. T2=51.27±0.53 counts/min) was significantly (P less than 0.01) lower in buffaloes housed under T2 as compared to T1 in both seasons. The Murrah buffaloes housed under modified shed were improved physiological reactions during the autumn and winter seasons.

The influence of frost hardening conditions on the frost-resistance of three winter wheat cultivars ('Mironowska 808', 'Grana' and 'Maris Huntsman') was studied. Frost resistance was measured periodically during the autumn and winter season by the delayed luminescence method. Parallelly an electrical conductivity test was performed for comparison. It was found that the temperature which delayed luminescence reaches its maximum (t<sub>N</sub>) correlates with (t<sub>50</sub>) obtained by the conductometric method. The differences in response of particular cultivars to frost and hardening conditions are described.

Persistence of the residue of organo chlorine pesticides (OCPs) became a great task due to long lasting effectin environment. Subsequently the monitoring of these residue is a very important issue. The present study detect the persistence of OCP sin Benisuef and Al Qalyubia governorates ecosystem in Egypt during 2018 and 2019. Six different studied sites in two governorates Benisuef and AlQalyubia (three sites of each governorate) were investigated. The residues were determined in sediment and fish samples. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detector (ECD). Generally, total levels of OCPs residues (ppm) in sediments were found to be higher in Benisuef governorate comparing with AlQalyubia governorate in autumn and winter seasons, in spring season the residue detected only in Benisuef governorate, whereas in summer season were found to be only in AlQalyubia governorate. OCPs in fish muscles showed high levels in Benisuef governorate comparing with Al Qalyubia governorate in autumn season, in winter season it was higher in AlQalyubia governorate comparing with Benisuef governorate. While, in spring and summer seasons were found to be only in Benisuef governorate. The current study reveal higher level of OCPs in both sediment layer and fish muscles.Which necessitates presence of intensive plan for monitoring water quality of River Nile regionally and seasonally

Milk price tendency is essential for the national economy and protection of milk producers. The constant need to align with European standards motivate this study to assess the interaction of milk prices in our country compared to the European Union. The objective of the study was to statistically compare the prices from Romania and UE. For a deep overview we took into consideration the quantity from Romania and most important qualitative milk parameters namely protein and fat content. The data was from 6 years from 2013 until 2018 and from all four seasons. Analysis of variance was performed together with mean comparisons between different years and seasons. Milk medium prices were higher with at least 20% in UE compared to Romania. Prices were higher in autumn and winter rather than in spring and summer proportionally with the quantity of milk. Protein and fat content was significantly higher in autumn and winter season.
