   I have a BA degree in English, I have another BA degree in Management, and I have a master’s degree in curriculum, all from Addis Ababa University of Ethiopia. If I get full scholarship I want to study your offer.

   Title: PROXIMATE ANALYSIS OF BANANA STALK AND CORN COBS
   ABSTRACT

   The proximate analysis is the approximate estimation of different nutrients of food which includes moisture, ash, lipid, protein, and carbohydrate contents. The present study was designed to find out close relationship between the different components and objectives of study of the both samples. The moisture, dry, ash, oil, crude fibre, protein, carbohydrate, starch and vitamin C content will be estimated by analytical processes Association of official Analytical Chemists (A.O.A.C). The data obtained will be analyzed by statistical methods like complete randomized design (C.R.D) and F test. The analytical procedures will be carried in the Department of Biochemistry labs of Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (Pakistan). The importance and relationship of both samples will be analyzed by comparing the components of banana stock and corn cobs. All the waste samples considered as a great values even greater than some well-known biomass-fuels fall within the limits for the production of steam in electricity generation. These wastes were also used in production of different industrial enzymes which is a matter of great importance for national interest. These waste materials are also used as fertilizer for different crops.

   this is my research abstract during my M.Sc.
   now i am in M.Phi in biochemistry from PMAS UUAR and my reseach topic is
   Hyperproducion, isolation, purification and characterization og glucomylase by various fungi
   Abstract
   Glucoamylases are used mainly in the production glucose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and in whole grain and starch hydrolysis for alcohol production. This paper reviews the status of glucoamylases with respect to microbial sources, biochemical and physical properties. Methods used to assay glucoamylase activity are also compared, with reference being made to the specificity of spectrophotometric methods in detecting end products of the enzyme action. Commercial glucoamylases and development of immobilization techniques are discussed. Also, structural analysis of glucoamylase and the main amino acids involved in catalysis and starch binding are emphasized. The cloning of the glucoamylase gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the brewing of low calorie beer is presented. This review highlights the use of glucoamylase in the food industry. Several types of enzymes are involved in the degradation of starch. Glucoamylase, which attacks both a (1 – 4) and a (1- 6) linkages of starch are the most important and accordingly have received the most attention. The catalytic domain of glucoamylases G1 and G2 from Aspergillus niger is produced in vitro in high yield by limited proteolysis using either subtilisin Novo or subtilisin Carlsberg. Glucoamylase will be purified from Neurospora sitophila, cultured on wheat bran, through solid-state fermentation. Maximum enzyme activity obtained will be in IU/ml/min, under pre-optimized media conditions. At 10% (NH4)2SO4 saturation maximum activity will be obtained in filtrate i.e. after gel filtration (Sephadex G-200) protein contents will be calculated. Molecular weight of enzyme will be determined with SDS-PAGE. Optimum temperature and pH will be 50 °C and 5, respectively. Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Calcium (Ca) activity will be determined. Different kinds of chemicals will be used to create mutation in particular strain. The mutant produced an appreciable yield of glucoamylase in the culture medium. The enzyme will be purified and will be shown to be homogeneous to desire one. It will hydrolysed successive glucose residues from the non-reducing end of starch molecules. The purified enzyme will have an optimum pH will be seen. It will be determined that at which temperature, it is highly active and its optimal activity. At the end, molecular characterization of the genome of the strain will be determined which shows maximum activity.

   Dear sir/madam,
   I am Trieu Anh Trung, I am a lecturer in department of Genetics, faculty of Biology, Hanoi National University of Education, Hanoi, Vietnam.
   I had finished the Master course in field of Animal Genetics. Now, I want to find a scholarship study PhD course in the same field study. So, I want to ask a question: Does NCCR Frontiers in Genetics have got a scholarship for doctoral students?
   I am hearing from you!
   Best regards,

   Dear sir?madam
   Iam a sudanese living in exile here in Cairo (Egypt) and have lost my education due to the continious war and fighting in my country , so iam very interested in continuing my education but since iam a refugee i am financially stuck
   So that is why after getting into your website i take this opportunity of asking you if there is a sponsership for people with conditions like mine, as i only completed my intermediate year two some time back.
   But i am willing to continue my education if there is a chance.

   Thanks and regards

   I am willing to apply for Ph D studentship of Frontiers in Genetics 2009. My background been an agriculture and Environmental & Forestry, and presently working as a Research Officer in Sri Lanka. I have developed knowledge on below mention areas during my profession.Bio diversity and aquatic pollution indicators,
   Stream ecology and nutrient fluxes,Study of wetland ecology
   River basins studies,gricultural land-use and land degradation etc. I believe that undertaking the higher studies on biology/genetics will immensely beneficial to myself and my country at large

   Therefore I would like to make a request to get PhD studentship from Frontiers in Genetics and please be kind enough to send the details of above studentships and how to apply.

    I am an MPhil holder in Entomology from the University of Ghana, Legona. I have been working for 7 years now at a research Department of Ghana Cocoa Board as a stored product Entomologist.
    I am interested in helping solve infestation problems of dry cocoa bean; the main stay of Ghana’s economy.
    I therefore want to pursue my PhD programme in an area that will help reduce insect infestation and pesticide residue problems which are major concerns of late to Ghana’s cocoa commodity trade. I therefore want to work on “Integrated Pest Management in cocoa storage systems in Ghana, options and implications”
