A field experiment was carried out in the educational farm of Nasser’s Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Aden (Delta Tuban) Lahej Governorate, Republic of Yemen, during two seasons 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, to study the effect of three sowing dates (6/11, 6/12 and 6/1) and three plant densities (56, 67 and 83 thousand plant/Ha) on the yield and its components of maize. The experiment was performed in split-plot design with three replications.The results could be summarized as that the first sowing date (6 November) significantly surpassed was higher in all yield characteristics and components, compared to the late sowing date (6 January) in both seasons.
The low density gave the highest values of the yield components studied, except shelling percentage in grain. High density gave the highest values in cereal yield. The interaction between sowing dates and density significantly affected all the studied traits. The low density gave the highest values with the first date in the length and diameter of the ear, number of rows/ear, number of grain/ear and 100 grain weight for the two seasons. The high density with the first date achieved the highest values in the shelling percentage and grain yield in both seasons.

Construction with clay and mud bricks is still the traditional building system that exists in Hadhramout valley since hundreds of years until today. and due to the development and change of people's needs over time, building systems have changed to keep pace with these desires. The aim of this research is also to comparing the development of building structural systems of mud construction and to study the changes in its safety factors.
Building surveys were done and all structural building components were studied, and the safety factors were studied in two different methods for each part of the mud bearing walls. The results confirmed that the increasing stress on the walls of mud buildings, and a huge reduction in the safety factor in the modern architectural designs of mud buildings is due to the large area of rooms and the cancellation of the interior columns.
This means that the mud material in building has become tremendously stressed, causing the phenomenon of rapid onset of cracks and collapse of modern mud buildings. Therefore, we recommend to develop a local mud-hay building code in Arabic language; which will maintain the sustainability of the outstanding local mud construction system.

The Effect of Ash of Palm Fronds powder on the Mechanical properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) was studied as a function of the percentages of Ash of Palm Fronds (1%,2%,3%,4%,5%,7.5%,10%). At particular size (75 µm) were investigated through several variables such as stress at yield, young's modules, strength, elongation and proportional limit . The obtained results showed that the added Ash of Palm Fronds reduces the spaces between the polymer chains, which reflects the high ability of the polymer against the applied stress. The increase of added Ash of palm will give further property that increase the hardness of the prepared specimens. The results have lead to the strength at break which will be affected by little of the percentage (1%), and lowered after that with increasing the percentage also indicate an lowered in young's modules at the percentage (3%). The maximum value of the proportional limit was (192.5 N) for percentage (1%), while the minimum value of the proportional limit was (130.2 N) for percentage (7.5%).

Preoperative scoring system to predict difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be regarded as an instrument in the hand of the surgeon, which could help him to prepare for difficult operation, make better preoperative counseling of the patient, and in general, it is a further step towards the safe, modern, surgical practice. The study aimed developing a simple scoring system to predict difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy preoperatively, which can be used in the daily clinical practice.
This is a retrospective study carried out in the 22 May Hospital, Aden, from 1st March 2018 to 29th February 2020. It included 405 patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and among them, 137 had difficult operation. 10 variables were subjected for multivariate study (binary logistic regression) which had shown association with difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy on previous univariate analysis. Statistical software SPSS version 17 was used for this purpose and significance level was set to p< 0.05. The necessary predictors (independent factors) which were able to explain the outcome (difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy) were identified with statistical significance. The effect size of these predictors was rounded and the new values were adopted as scores for each factor. A scoring system was constructed from these factors and their scores. The accuracy of the new score system was tested by the ROC analysis against the same sample.
7 predictors were identified. Depending on these variables, the prediction for easy laparoscopic cholecystectomy came true in 87% of cases and the prediction for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy came true in 85% of the cases. The returned area under the curve was 0.913, with 95% confidence interval. A score above 2.25 was considered difficult with sensitivity and specificity of 82.25% and 85.8% respectively. There were no cases with score above 9.
From the findings of the current study, it could be concluded that the new scoring system had good predictive capability to difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and it incorporates simple, few determinants, which could help surgeon and improve patient curative care.

To allow healing of the anastomotic site, nil-by-mouth is widely practiced for several days after resection and anastomosis of gastrointestinal. This study determines the feasibility and safety of early oral feeding following gastrointestinal resections and anastomoses.
This prospective study included consecutive patients who underwent gastrointestinal resection from June 2016 to June 2021. These patients divided into two groups, according to their postoperative feeding protocol. The early oral feeding group received oral diet on the first postoperative day, while the late oral feeding group were started on oral feeding after the passage of flatus.
No significant differences were found in tolerance to oral feeding (p = 0.230) and the postoperative complications (p = 0.253) between the two groups. Compared with the late oral feeding group, time to first flatus, bowel movement and length of postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter in the early oral feeding group (for all p = 0.002).
Early oral feeding after gastrointestinal anastomosis is feasible and safe.
