The document describes the nesting behaviors of several bird species. Pigeons build flimsy nests of straw and sticks on ledges, often of buildings. Eagles build large nests called eyries in tall trees or cliffs and often the older chick will kill the younger. Parrots nest in tree hollows and lay white eggs. Ducks nest on the ground near wetlands using dried grass and feathers. Sparrows make coarse nests often next to each other and sometimes sharing walls. Hummingbirds weave compact nests out of twigs, fibers and leaves anchored with spider silk and lay eggs the size of navy beans.

Birds features
The document discusses several features of pigeons. Pigeons have a spindle-shaped body that varies in size from 20-25 cm. They have a round head with a strong, pointed beak covered in horn. They have large eyes protected by eyelids and a transparent inner eyelid. They have a long, mobile neck. Their trunk is compact and heavy, bearing wings and legs. Their tail projects behind the cloacal aperture.
LIFE PROCESSES IN A BUTTERFLY
Butterflies have a complete metamorphosis life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult. Caterpillars consume plant leaves as they grow and develop various defenses like camouflage and stinging hairs. During pupation, the caterpillar undergoes transformation within its hardened case. As an adult, a butterfly has two pairs of colorful, scaled wings and a coiled proboscis for drinking nectar from flowers. Butterflies play important ecological roles through pollination and as both a food source and pest.
Aves Project
Aves refers to the classification of birds. Birds come in a variety of sizes and colors from two inches to ten feet. A bird's internal transport system includes a gizzard for grinding food and intestines for absorbing nutrients. Birds are endothermic and regulate their temperature through metabolism. They reproduce sexually, with fertilization occurring internally. While some birds like penguins cannot fly and swim instead, birds generally fly through powered flight. Their diet consists of various plants and small animals. Birds are important to ecosystems and some species are endangered or extinct.
Rotation life of butterfly
The document summarizes the life cycle of a butterfly in 4 stages: 1) Egg stage where eggs hatch in 3-5 days. 2) Larvae stage where caterpillars eat leaves until ready to pupate. 3) Pupa stage which is a resting period lasting 7-20 days where the insect transforms. 4) Adult butterfly stage where new butterflies emerge with wings, dry them, and fly to lay new eggs continuing the cycle.

Butterfly by asad aslam
A butterfly is an insect with six legs, three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), two antennae with knobs, and four scaly wings. Butterflies go through four life stages: egg, larvae/caterpillar, pupa, and adult. As adults, butterflies eat nectar from flowers. They are found worldwide but most common in tropical areas like rainforests. Many species migrate to avoid poor conditions. Butterflies can be affected by diseases, parasites, and insecticides. Some species found in Pakistan include the monarch, common Mormon, common blue Apollo, and Baltia butleri.

Butterflies
The document summarizes the four life cycle phases of a butterfly:
1. Eggs are laid on leaves and hatch into caterpillars.
2. Caterpillars molt several times as they eat voraciously.
3. When fully grown, the caterpillar attaches itself and forms a chrysalis where it undergoes metamorphosis.
4. An adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis with wet wings that soon harden and allow it to fly while feeding on nectar and searching for mates.
Birds
Birds have feathers that help them fly and stay warm. They preen and molt feathers regularly. Birds have fast digestion and eat high protein foods like seeds and insects since they lack teeth. Their light skeletons and powerful muscles allow flight through lift generated by air moving over wings. Birds build nests and care for young through brooding or by having precocial or altricial chicks. There are many kinds of birds including flightless, water, perching, and birds of prey.
Feathers types
There are seven categories of feathers on birds: wing feathers which are specialized for flight; tail feathers which support precision steering; contour feathers which cover the body and streamline its shape; semi-plumes which have a fluffy insulating structure; down feathers which are short and trap body heat; filoplumes which function like whiskers to sense other feathers; and bristles which may protect the face. Each feather type serves an important role such as allowing birds to fly, show off, blend in, stay warm and dry. Feathers have evolved into specialized structures for efficient flight or extreme ornamental displays.
Birds
Birds are animals that have feathers, two legs, and two wings. They are born from eggs and eat worms and insects. Most birds can fly, and examples of birds include owls, hens, eagles, and penguins.
Butterflies of Costa Rica
1,251 species of butterfly can be found in Costa Rica, which is about 10% of the world's butterfly species. One reason for this biodiversity is that millions of years ago, Costa Rica and Panama formed a land bridge between North and South America, allowing plant and animal species to spread between the continents. Costa Rica has an abundance of butterflies, with some species thriving at certain elevations, and they help pollinate Costa Rica's many plants.
Phylum Chordata - Class Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia
Amniotes such as reptiles, birds, and mammals have three key characteristics that decrease their dependence on water: 1) Amniotic eggs that are waterproof and contain fluid for embryo development, 2) Internal fertilization, and 3) Water-tight skin made of keratin that prevents dehydration. Reptiles have scales as their water-tight skin while birds evolved from small dinosaurs and have feathers that function in flight, insulation, and as modified scales. Birds are endothermic like mammals and have specialized adaptations for flight including wing shape, feathers, air sacs for respiration, lightweight honeycombed bones, and lack of teeth replaced by a muscular gizzard.
Bird project
This document summarizes a science project about birds conducted by Avni Chaturvedi. It discusses the key parts and features of birds, including feathers, beaks, feet and claws.

Course The FACTS ABOUT FABRIC PESTS .pptx
Carpet beetles and clothes moths are fabric pests that can cause damage to materials containing animal proteins like wool and fur. Carpet beetles lay eggs near food sources and the larvae then feed on materials like wool carpeting or pet hair. The adult carpet beetles fly and feed on pollen. Clothes moths also lay eggs on fabrics and the larvae then feed, with the webbing clothes moth creating temporary tunnels and the casemaking moth encasing itself. Both go through molting stages before pupating. Treatment involves vacuuming, applying residual pesticides, and freezing or heating infested items to kill all life stages of the pests.

Squirrels have long bushy tails, powerful legs that enable jumping between trees, and teeth that continuously grow to compensate for wear from eating. The document provides information on squirrel biology and least toxic methods for preventing and controlling squirrels, including sealing entry points, removing food sources, and using live traps.
Nests
Birds build nests out of materials like twigs, leaves, mud and grass to lay and hatch eggs, with some like woodpeckers and barbets making nests inside tree trunk holes and others like tailorbirds sewing leaves together into pockets for soft grass nests, while koels lay eggs in other birds' nests and male weaver birds build nests for females to choose from.

Dancing birds narrative
Many birds perform dances, especially in the spring, to attract mates. Ostriches are the only birds that dance for fun rather than mating. Their early morning dances involve twirling in circles on their tiptoes with wings outstretched, and soon the whole group joins in the joyful display. Parrots are a diverse order of over 350 bird species found worldwide in warm climates. Though varied, they share curved beaks and four-toed feet. Pigeons are familiar city birds that have been bred in many colors over centuries. Ostriches are the world's largest birds and strong runners, able to sprint over 40 mph, that live in herds on the African savanna and deserts.
Course FABRIC PESTS (2).doc (1).pptx
Carpet beetles and clothes moths are fabric pests that can cause damage to clothing, carpets, and other materials containing animal fibers like wool or fur. Carpet beetles lay eggs near food sources and the larvae feed on materials like wool carpeting or pet hair. The larvae molt several times before pupating. Clothes moths also lay eggs on fabrics and the larvae feed, sometimes spinning silk tunnels or cases. Both go through egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages, with the larvae doing the most damage through feeding. Treatment involves vacuuming, applying residual insecticides, and freezing or heating infested items to kill all life stages.
Solitary and communal bees, and plants for bees
Solitary bees typically nest alone in holes in wood or in the ground, constructing individual compartments to lay eggs and provide food for their offspring. While solitary, some species such as mason bees prefer nesting near others of the same species in aggregations. A few species engage in communal nesting where multiple females independently provision their own cells within a shared nest entrance. These bees are important pollinators that provision their nests with pollen and nectar mixtures. Their development progresses from egg to larva to pupa and finally to winged adult.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Pigeon
- 1. Pigeon Pigeons build a flimsy platform nest of straw and sticks, put on ledge, under cover, often located on the window ledges of buildings. The nest is saucer-like in shape and made of stems, and leaves. The female may sit on the nest a day or two before the first egg is laid. Eagle Eagles normally build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. Parrot Almost all parrots nest in tree hollows (or nest boxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which hatch altricial (helpless) young. Duck Most Ducks nest on the ground in grass uplands near wetlands. Nests typically consist of dried grass and feathers that the females pluck
- 2. from her breast. They use the down feathers to line the nest and help insulate the eggs. Sparrow House Sparrow nests are made of coarse dried vegetation, often stuffed into the hole until it's nearly filled. The birds then use finer material, including feathers, string, and paper, for the lining. House Sparrows sometimes build nests next to each other, and these neighboring nests can share walls. Hamming bird Hummingbirds build velvety, compact cups with spongy floors and elastic sides that stretch as the young grow. They weave together twigs, plant fibers, and bits of leaves, and use spider silk as threads to bind their nests together and anchor them to the foundation. Hummingbird eggs are about the size of navy beans.
