Newcastle disease is caused by Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) leads to severe morbidity and mortality in poultry throughout the world and considered as lentogenic, mesogenic or velogenic based on the mean death of the chicken embryo. The NDV velogenic strain is deadly endemic in Pakistan. Poultry is considered as the second major industry in Pakistan having annual growth of 8-10%. Unfortunately, the increase of NDV cases leads to severe cost impact, loss of production and livelihood. This review highlights the current status and epidemiology of NDV in Pakistan. Various genotypes and sub-genotypes have been identified in Pakistan. Various ND cases have been reported in Pakistan which has very bad consequences on the economy and dealing of poultry products.

Petrochemistry is one of the major industry fields in Azerbaijan, the production of which is exported to a number of countries. Competetive performence of exported goods creates conditions for the segmentation of certain markets and enhancement of sales geography. In this context, the paper reviews such issues as economic estimation of investment projects and expansion of potential of petrochemical enterprise with the purpose of increasing its production capacity, as well as the possibility of using internationally approved method of economic estimation for the specification of the efficiency of capital investments.

Abstract With the collapse of the Eastern block, once Egypt’s major industry supplier for machinery and spare parts, and the lack of skilled manpower, the Egyptian industry is finding it difficult to maintain its machinery and industrial base and to compete with the much more sophisticated and coordinated industries abroad. The cutoff of supply of maintenance parts from the Eastern Block, prompt the use of modern reverse engineering (RE) methods in the capturing the geometrical configuration and fabrication of rare maintenance parts, in support of the Egyptian Industry. This paper demonstrates, as a proof of concept, the use of the technology of RE in the fabrication of parts. The success of the experiment initiated a much wider application to the technology, that of patterns making in support of the casting industry. This will provide an accurate and expeditious means to properly maintain industrial plants and produce compatible spare pails urgently needed.

The Oxford Handbook of Political Consumerism addresses the study of political consumerism. It discusses how production and consumption affect broader societal affairs at home and abroad, and how the phenomenon of political consumerism has developed in different directions—geographically, conceptually, and methodologically—and in multiple sectors, at multiple levels, and involving multiple disciplines. Its varieties create challenges for scholars to make sense of the phenomenon. Critical questions arise about its appropriate conceptual framing and methodologies. This introductory chapter defines and elaborates upon political consumerism and its four forms (boycotts, buycotts, discursive actions, and lifestyle endeavors). It offers an overview of the Handbook’s six thematic parts: political consumerism’s history, its theory and research design, its presence in major industry sectors, its global geographic spread and practice, its democratic paradoxes and challenges, and its problem-solving potential. This chapter also provides summaries and reviews of the Handbook’s thirty-nine chapters.

The geographical field in which most of the Discovery Committee’s work has been carried out during the past 25 years is the Southern Ocean. This zone of continuous deep water, very rich in marine fife, supports one major industry—the whaling industry—but is otherwise little developed as yet, and seldom visited. It is not easy to find a short descriptive label for the work itself, but nearly all of it comes under the headings of deep-sea oceanography, whales and whaling, or Antarctic geography, and much of it is concerned with the interrelations of these subjects. Since the beginning in 1924 the Discovery Committee has worked under the Colonial Office, but in 1949 the Committee’s functions, together with the scientific staff, the ships, and other assets, were taken over by the Admiralty, and now form part of the new National Institute of Oceanography. The Discovery Committee, in its original form, has been dissolved, but it is encouraging to know that the continuation of its work is assured.

The commoditization and manufacture of rum has been a major industry in the Caribbean since the inception of the plantation as a means of amplified production to fill consumer needs. Still houses can be analysed to reflect the major economic processes active in the wider Atlantic theater. Betty’s Hope is a perfect example of the British microcosm of production, displaying themes which become archetypal within the socio-economic model of the British Caribbean and wider Atlantic world, during the historic period. These themes, exampled by the impact of that technology in the form of industrial steam manufacture, are dramatically displayed within the documentary survey and archaeology of the still house.

<em>Abstract.</em>—The Mackenzie River is the second longest river in North America and drains 1.8 × 10<sup>6</sup> km<sup>2</sup>. of Arctic and sub-Arctic Canada. Thirty-eight fish species have been recorded in the lower Mackenzie River. These species represent a unique mixture of fishes from the Beringian and Agassisian refugia. Many of the species important for subsistence and commercial fisheries in the lower Mackenzie River have complex life cycles and undertake long migrations to spawn, rear, and overwinter. The lower Mackenzie River is a relatively pristine environment with no dams or major industry, a low human population, and species only lightly harvested. This explains why the species composition is relatively stable. However, recently, the effects of climate change may be starting to influence the species composition in terms of greater frequency of rare species such as Pacific salmon. Moreover, a major gas pipeline proposed for the lower Mackenzie River region will probably disturb the fish assemblage structure.

Over Time

Selling and delivering newspapers was one of the first and most formative experiences of America’s youth throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, yet its history has been obscured by myth and mired in cliché. Crying the News takes the job of newspaper peddling seriously as work and not just as an object of romance or reform. It shows how child street labor changed over time in practice and in perception, while remaining integral to the survival of working-class families, the socialization of their children, and the fortunes of a major industry. Boys and girls found both opportunity and exploitation in the news trade, and they came to personify the spirit of capitalism and its discontents. This book aims not simply to distinguish history from myth but to explore the relationship between the two—to dissect how newsboys’ dual careers as workers and symbols shaped each other, creating wealth for some and meaning for many.
