I would ask parents and carers to talk to the school if you are concerned about something at school. I always believe that it is best to talk about these concerns at an early stage so that they can be resolved. There are several ways to get in touch. You can send an email, telephone the office or call into school. Most concerns can be resolved by your child's class teacher and therefore should be raised with them in the first instance. Assistant Head teachers, Mrs Hetherington (Infants) or Mrs Barton (Juniors), or Mr Morrissey, the Head teacher are happy to help if the concern cannot be resolved. Rosemary Chapman, our Family Support Worker can also offer help about parenting related concerns.
Whilst we strive to provide an outstanding education for all the children we do have procedures in place in case there are complaints by parents or carers. These obligations date from 1 st September 2003 under section 29 of the Education Act 2002, which requires all schools to have in place a procedure to deal with complaints relating to their school and to any community facilities or services that the school provides. A copy of the complaints procedure is available on our school website. A copy is also available upon request from the school office.
Respect - In my assemblies this week I have spoken to the children about respect. I have emphasised the importance of speaking to others, especially adults, respectfully at all times. I reminded the children that however upset or angry they may feel this is not an excuse to be rude to others. I hope this is something parents and carers can support the school with.
Thrilling Football - Well done to the football team who drew 2:2 in a thrilling match against Cawston during the week. The team played really well and were a credit to the school. A big thank you to Mr Sutcliffe for giving of his time to prepare and organise the team. The team have another match this Monday, 14th March (at school) against Bilton Junior School.
School surveys - It is really useful to hear parent/carer views on school matters. Such feedback helps us in our work to continually improve the education and outcomes for children at the school. We have two current surveys in the surveys section of our school app.
School dates - A reminder that the school will close next Friday, 18th March 2016 (at the usual time) for the Easter holidays. School will reopen on Monday, 4th April 2016 (at the usual time). Please note that the school will also be closed on 27th May 2016 for teacher training. The school will not be closed for polling on May 5th or June 23rd 2016. Thank you.
Non Uniform - Next Thursday, 17th March 2016 is a non uniform day. Children are asked to bring in a chocolate egg for the FOLLs Easter Bingo, which is on later that day.

Abstract:
Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) was the 38th President of the United States. A former resident of Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ford served as a member of the House of Representatives for the 5th District of Michigan from 1949 to 1973. This collection contains reference material for general use related to Ford. Included are letters, photographs, speeches and memorabilia. The library does not widely collect original Gerald R. Ford documents, as these are primarily held by other institutions, such as the Ford Museum, the Gerald R. Ford Library at the University of Michigan or the Library of Congress and the National Archives.
Biographical / Historical
Born Leslie Lynch King, Jr., Ford was renamed for his stepfather after the remarriage of his mother, Dorothy Ayer Gardner, to Gerald R. Ford, Sr., a businessman from Grand Rapids. Gerald R. Ford, Jr. noted his step father as a guiding influence in his life.
Gerald R. Ford (July 14, 1913 to Dec. 26, 2006), 38th President of the United States from Aug. 9, 1974 to Jan. 20, 1977, was a former resident of Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids, Michigan. Ford served as a member of the House of Representatives for the 5th District of Michigan from 1949 to 1973, participating on numerous committees and obtaining the position of Minority Leader of the House. Perhaps Grand Rapids most famous former resident, his life and history is well documented in resources found in many libraries and archives throughout the country.
Fortieth Vice President (1973-1974), Thirty Eighth President (1974-1977)
The only Vice President or President of the United States to serve without being elected, he occupied the Vice Presidency after Spiro Agnew left office and the Presidency after Richard Nixon left office, both under troubling circumstances. It is generally considered that Ford lost his own bid for the Presidency during the 1976 election largely due to his pardoning of Nixon following on the Watergate scandal.
^
Included in Ford's many projects in support of Grand Rapids was his key role in the Vanderberg Center Sculpture Project. This started with a handwritten letter to Ford from Nancy Mulnix (See Coll. 001), and resulted in the placement of the Alexander Calder monumental sculpture, La Grande Vitesse, in downtown Grand Rapids. Ford assisted in getting National Endowment for the Arts funding for this project for Grand Rapids, the first such use of these funds for a public sculpture project. Ford had originally been politically opposed to the creation of the Endowment. Later, returning to Grand Rapids as President, Ford was presented with a replica of La Grande Vitesse by then Mayor Lyman Parks. The image of Ford with this miniature was captured by the national news, a symbol of Grand Rapids and Ford's support for Grand Rapids. (See Pictorial History of Grand Rapids, pg. 62) The Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids was named for Ford in December 1999.

Scope and Contents
The focus of the collecting of Gerald R. Ford related materials at the Grand Rapids Public Library is to provide information on his life here in Grand Rapids and to provide basic access to general historical information on Ford to our public library users. Thus, items in this collection, as well as other materials, such as the South High school yearbook during Ford's attendance there, are valued for the Ford association. Also, several books and periodicals in the Grand Rapids History & Special Collections department, as well as the library's circulating collections, document Ford's life.
^
As a U.S. President, Gerald R. Ford is well documented in libraries and museums throughout the country. In particular, in Grand Rapids the Ford Museum provides access to information on Ford's life and presidency. Other libraries which provide in-depth information on Ford are the Gerald R. Ford Library at the University of Michigan and the Library of Congress.
This small collection collocates various small accessions of Ford related materials, which have been mostly been solicited to provide basic historical information on Ford, and his relationship to Grand Rapids. Several of these items have come from the Ford Museum.

Building Materials in Civil Engineering - Haimei Zhang
2011-05-09
The construction of buildings and structures relies on having a thorough understanding of building materials. Without this knowledge it would not be possible to build safe, efficient and long-lasting buildings, structures and dwellings. Building materials in civil engineering provides an overview of the complete range of building materials available to civil engineers and all those involved in the building and construction industries. The book begins with an introductory chapter describing the basic properties of building materials. Further chapters cover the basic properties of building materials, air hardening cement materials, cement, concrete, building mortar, wall and roof materials, construction steel, wood, waterproof materials, building plastics, heat-insulating materials and sound-absorbing
materials and finishing materials. Each chapter includes a series of questions, allowing readers to test the knowledge they have gained. A detailed appendix gives information on the testing of building materials. With its distinguished editor and eminent editorial committee, Building materials in civil engineering is a standard introductory reference book on the complete range of building materials. It is aimed at students of civil engineering, construction engineering and allied courses including water supply and drainage engineering. It also serves as a source of essential background information for engineers and professionals in the civil engineering and construction sector. Provides an overview of the complete range of building materials available to civil engineers and all those involved in the building and construction industries Explores the basic properties of building materials featuring air hardening cement materials, wall and roof

Statistics and Probability for Engineering Applications -
William DeCoursey 2003-05-14 Statistics and Probability for Engineering Applications provides a complete discussion of all the major topics typically covered in a college engineering statistics course. This textbook minimizes the derivations and mathematical theory, focusing instead on the information and techniques most needed and used in engineering applications. It is filled with practical techniques directly applicable on the job. Written by an experienced industry engineer and statistics professor, this book makes learning statistical methods easier for today's student. This book can be read sequentially like a normal textbook, but it is designed to be used as a
handbook, pointing the reader to the topics and sections pertinent to a particular type of statistical problem. Each new concept is clearly and briefly described, whenever possible by relating it to previous topics. Then the student is given carefully chosen examples to deepen understanding of the basic ideas and how they are applied in engineering. The examples and case studies are taken from real-world engineering problems and use real data. A number of practice problems are provided for each section, with answers in the back for selected problems. This book will appeal to engineers in the entire engineering spectrum (electronics/electrical, mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering); engineering students and students taking computer science/computer engineering graduate courses; scientists needing to use applied statistical methods; and engineering technicians and technologists. * Filled with practical techniques directly applicable on the job *
Contains hundreds of solved problems and case studies, using real data sets * Avoids unnecessary theory

Basic Coastal Engineering -
Robert Sorensen 2013-03-14 In the 20 years since publication of the first edition of this book there have been a number of significant changes in the practice of coastal engineering. This new edition has been completely rewritten to reflect these changes as well as to make other improvements to the material presented in the original text. _ Basic Coastal
Engineering is an introductory text on wave mechanics and coastal processes along with the fundamentals of the practice of coa~tal engi neering. This book was written for a senior or first postgraduate course in coastal engineering. It is also suitable for self study by anyone having a basic engineering or physical science background. The level of coverage does not require a math or fluid mechanics background beyond that presented in a typical undergraduate civil or mechanical engineering curriculum. The material presented in this text is based on the author's lecture notes from a one-semester course at Virginia Pol ytechnic Institute, Texas A&M University, and George Washington University, and a senior elective course at Lehigh University. The text contains examples to demonstrate the various analysis techniques that are presented and each chapter (except the first and last) has a collection of problems for the
reader to solve that further demonstrate and expand upon the text material. Chapter 1 briefly describes the coastal environment and introduces the rela tively new field of coastal engineering. The Kansas Engineer - 1920

Basics of Civil Engineering
-
Dr. Mukul Burghate Engineering has been an aspect of life since the beginnings of human existence. The earliest practice of civil engineering may have commenced between 4000 and 2000 BC in ancient Egypt, the Indus Valley civilization, and Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq) when humans started to abandon a nomadic existence, creating a need for the construction of shelter. During this time, transportation became increasingly important leading to the development of the wheel and sailing. Civil engineering is the application of physical and scientific principles for solving the problems of society, and its history is intricately linked to advances in the understanding of physics and mathematics throughout history. Because civil engineering is a broad profession, including several specialized sub-disciplines, its history is linked to knowledge of structures, materials science, geography, geology, soils, hydrology, environmental
science, mechanics, project management, and other fields. Throughout ancient and medieval history most architectural design and construction was carried out by artisans, such as stonemasons and carpenters, rising to the role of master builder. Knowledge was retained in guilds and seldom supplanted by advances. Structures, roads, and infrastructure that existed were repetitive, and increases in scale were incremental. The purpose of this textbook is to present an introduction to the subject of Basics of Civil Engineering of Bachelor of Engineering ( BE) Semester - I. The book contains the syllabus from basics of the subjects going into the intricacies of the subjects. Students are now required to solve minimum Four ( 4 ) Assignments based on the Syllabus. Each topic is followed by Assignment Questions which now forms the compulsory part of internal assessment. All the concepts have been explained with relevant examples and diagrams to make i t
interesting for the readers. An attempt is made here by the experts of TMC to assist the students by way of providing Study text as per the curriculum with non commercial considerations. We owe to many websites and their free contents; we would like to specially acknowledge contents of website www. wikipedia. com and various authors whose writings formed the basis for this book. We acknowledge our thanks to them. At the end we would l ike to say that there is always a room for improvement in whatever we do. We would appreciate any suggestions regarding this study material f rom the readers so that the contents can be made more interesting and meaningful. Readers can email their queries and doubts to [email protected]. We shall be glad to help you immediately.

Viscoelasticity — Basic Theory and Applications to Concrete Structures -
Guillermo J. Creus 2012-12-06 This book contains notes for a one-semester graduate course which is an introduction to the study of viscoelasticity and creep of concrete. Emphasis was set on the conceptual aspects rather than on the mathematical or computational refinements. The mathematical structure of viscoelasticity is discussed with some care because it clarifies the basic concepts and has important consequences in computa tional applications. Basic ideas are exemplified using the simplest problems and constitutive models in order to be able to show complete
solutions. In the computational applications we have also chosen to present the sim plest situations with the greatest possible detail. It has been the author's experience that once the basic concepts are well understood the students are able to follow the rest of the course more easily and to accede to more advanced literature and applications. Chapters I to III furnish the foundations for the course, that may be expanded in diverse ways. If we are interested in finite elements applications we should look at Chapter IV and then go direct ly to Chapter VII. If we are interested in the simplified analysis of frame structures we should study Chapter VI in detail. Chapter V re views the viscoelastic behavior of concrete and Chapter VIII studies the problem of creep buckling. At the end of each chapter we give se lected references to works that complete and extend the subject matter. Secretarial Notes - National Association of Student

III. NON-CLINICAL ASPECTS
III.1 Introduction
This application for a marketing authorisation was submitted in accordance with Article 10a of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended, a well-established use application. Chlorhexidine and lidocaine have well-established use within the European Union for more than ten years, demonstrating a recognised efficacy and safety profile. A non-clinical overview has been provided, it is based on relevant published literature and written by an appropriately qualified person. Overview based on literature review is, thus, appropriate. A brief summary of the literature submitted is provided below:
III.2 Pharmacology
Chlorhexidine
Chlorhexidine is a commonly used disinfectant and topical antiseptic agent. In vitro tests confirmed the value of chlorhexidine in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections such as sore throat. It has bactericidal activity on bacteria considered to be pathogenic in the upper respiratory tract.
Chlorhexidine shows also some antiviral activity in relation to the influenza A virus (H1N1).
Lidocaine
Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic of the amide type. Lidocaine i.v. is used as an antiarrhythmic. Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, blocks conduction of nerve endings impulses in a reversible way by interfering with processes fundamental to generation of nerve action potential, namely, large transient increase in permeability of membrane to sodium ions that is produced by slight depolarisation of membrane
III.3 Pharmacokinetics
Chlorhexidine
Chlorhexidine is virtually not absorbed when administered topically. Minute amounts are detected in the urine of laboratory animals. LD50 varies from 21 mg/kg (rat i.v.) to 5000 mg/kg (rat oral). Subchronic toxicity showed minimal dermal irritation (erythema, oedema, desquamation and/or fissuring) at the lowest dose tested.
Lidocaine
From observations in rabbits administered lidocaine HCl i.v. and portally, a first pass hepatic elimination of approximately 30% could be calculated. The fraction of rectal venous drainage bypassing the portal circulation and thus hepatic metabolism is about 40%. In the rabbit, the hepatic first pass effect for lidocaine can be avoided by administering the compound via the rectum. Intrinsic clearance of lidocaine was consistently reduced in the dog after repeated administration.
III.4 Toxicology
Chlorhexidine
No observable malformations or developmental toxicity were found at any dose level tested. Mutagenic effects were not observed in two mammalian in vivo mutagenesis studies evaluating chlorhexidine gluconate. No carcinogenicity has been reported with chlorhexidine during long-term toxicity studies in rats.
Lidocaine
LD50 varies from 19.5 mg/kg (mouse i.v.) to 317 mg/kg (rat oral). Lidocaine showed neurotoxicity to sensory neurons, resulting from a direct action on sensory neurons, and that a lidocaine-induced increase in intracellular Ca 2+ is a mechanism of lidocaine-induced neuronal toxicity. Lidocaine is less cardiotoxic than bupivacaine. The neurotoxic effects observed after a continuous intrathecal infusion were dose related. No significant effects were observed in offspring of SD rats administered lidocaine. Lidocaine did not show any mutagenicity. Lidocaine effectively inhibited the invasive ability of human cancer cells at concentrations used in surgical operations.
III.5 Ecotoxicity/environmental risk assessment
The active substances, chlorhexidine and lidocaine hydrochloride are not PBT substances.
Chlorhexidine and lidocaine are not expected to pose a risk to the environment.
III.6 Discussion on the non-clinical aspects
Chlorhexidine digluconate and lidocaine hydrochloride have been in well-established use within the European Union for more than 10 years, demonstrating a recognised efficacy and safety profile. An abridged dossier was submitted in accordance with Article 10a of Council Directive 2001/83/EEC as amended. No new nonclinical studies were submitted. The non-clinical evidence in support of this application is based on relevant published scientific literature which is appropriate. An environmental risk assessment was submitted and no environmental concerns are apparent.
IV. CLINICAL ASPECTS
IV.1 Introduction
This application for marketing authorization is presented in bibliographical format under Article 10 a of Directive 2001/83/CE, the applicant does not have to provide the results of further toxicological or pharmacological tests, as it has been clearly demonstrated from the existing literature that the medicinal product in question has an established and extensively medical use for more than a 10-year period.
The HPRA has been assured that GCP standards were followed in an appropriate manner in the studies conducted.
IV.2 Pharmacokinetics
Small amounts may enter the digestive system if some of the Medispray solution or saliva is swallowed.
Chlorhexidine
Absorption
In oral or topical use, absorption of chlorhexidine is insignificant. In topical use on intact skin, chlorhexidine is adsorbed on the outside layers of the skin, providing long-term antimicrobial effect. After rinsing the oral cavity, approximately 30% of chlorhexidine is retained, which is then slowly released into the saliva. In view of the insignicicant bioavailability of chlorhexidine after oral or topical administration, the following elements are just for information.
Distribution
Chlorhexidine tightly binds to saliva proteins. It was shown that chlorhexidine is stable in the oral cavity for at least 9 h and high concentrations of the drug (2 μg/ml total) are still present in saliva even after 8 h from mouth rinsing.
Biotransformation
Chlorhexidine is not accumulated in the body and is only minimally metabolised.
Elimination
In a case of ingestion of a massive dose (300 mg) of chlorhexidine gluconate, approximately 90 % was excreted in faeces via biliary routes and less than 1 % was eliminated into urine.
Lidocaine
Absorption
Lidocaine absorption varies, depending on the site and the method of use. It is quickly resorbed from the digestive organs, mucous membranes and through damaged skin. In healty adults, no detectable plasma lidocaine levels were noted after use of a 2 % mouth rinse. Children and immune impaired adults do resorb lidocaine from the oral mucosa into the plasma. The levels were approximately 0,2 micrograms/ml but the toxic plasma concentration is 5 micrograms/ml. The anaesthetic effect is limited to the surface and does not extend to the submucosal structures.
Distribution
Lidocaine is distributed well in the tissues (kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue).
Lidocaine passes through the blood-brain barrier and placenta and into mother's milk.
Biotransformation
It is metabolised during the first pass through the liver and the bioavailability is about 35 % after oral administration. 90 % isdeethylated in the liver to monoethylglycinexylide and glycinexylide. Both primary metabolites are pharmacologically active. Further cleavage of the amide bonds forms the metabolites xylidine and 4-hydroxyxylidine.
Elimination
Lidocaine is eliminated in the form of metabolites through the kidneys. Approximately 10% is eliminated unchanged. The biological half life of lidocaine is one and a half to two hours in adults. The biological half life of the primary metabolites is two to ten hours.
IV.3 Pharmacodynamics
No new data on primary and secondary pharmacodynamics are included in the present application.
Lidocaine hydrochlorideis a local peripheral anesthetic of the amide group, which has a superficial analgesic effect. Lidocaine as a local anaesthetic has the same mechanism of action as other medicines from this group in that it prevents generation and
conduction of nerve impulses in sensoric, motoric and autonomous nerves. It primarily affects the cell membrane where it blocks the ion channels and thereby reduces the permeability of sodium ions. Due to the progressive propagation of the anaesthetic effect in the nerve, the electric stimulation threshold is increased, impulse conduction is slowed down and the propagation of the action potential is contracted. Finally, the conductivity is interrupted completely. In principle, local anaesthetics block autonomous nerve fibres, small non-myelinated (sensation of pain) and small myelinated (sensation of pain and temperature), more quickly than large myelinated fibres (sensation of touch and pressure). On a molecular level, lidocaine specifically blocks sodium ion channels in the inactive state, thereby preventing the formation of an action potential. This mechanism prevents the conduction of stimuli when lidocaine is used locally in the vicinity of nerves.
Chlorhexidine is a bisbiguanide cationic antiseptic. It is effective against Gram-positive (e.g. Micrococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Bacillus sp.) and to a lesser extent against Gram-negative bacteria, especially in the vegetative form (it is not effective against spores at normal temperature). It also has an antimycotic effect on dermatophytes and fungi. It quickly inactivates the infectiousness of certain lipophilic viruses (influenza virus, herpes virus, HIV). In smaller concentrations, it has a bacteriostatic effect, while in larger concentrations, it functions as a bactericide. The chlorhexidine molecule has a strong positive charge, and therefore adsorbs to the negatively charged areas on the cell surface. The adsorption is specific and takes place in special parts of the bacterial cell wall containing phosphates. This damages the cell membrane, increasing permeability. It is also adsorbed onto the surfaces of the teeth, plaque or the oral mucosa, thereby persisting in the oral cavity. The effectiveness of antiseptics and disinfectants depends on the concentration, temperature and exposure time.
IV.4 Clinical Efficacy
This is a well-established application, as per Article 10a of Directive 2001/83/EC which is based on a systematic review of the literature. The applicant did not have to provide the results of further toxicological or pharmacological tests, as it has been clearly demonstrated from the existing literature that the medicinal product in question has an established and extensively medical use for more than a 10-year period.
The applicant provided a detailed clinical overview outlining that the active substances and the formula have a very well established medical use with recognized efficacy in adults, adolescents and children over 12y. The data related to the clinical properties are chlorhexidine digluconate and lidocaine hydrochloride are collected from and based upon a careful and extensive literature search.This product is comparable to several analogous products combining a local anaesthetic and an antiseptic currently marketed in the European Community for more than 10 years.
Medispray oromucosal spray is indicated for : the symptomatic relief of painful, irritated sore throats. It is a sugar free preparation and can be used by patients with diabetes. Additional therapy is required in the event of bacterial infection accompanied by fever. Medispray is indicated for use in adults, adolescents and children over 12y.
The claimed therapeutic indications for Medispray Oromucosal Spray, Solution containing chlorhexidine digluconate 2 mg/ml, lidocaine hydrochloride 0.5 mg/ml are consistent with the spectrum of activity reported in standard references and published literature and also with the currently established clinical use of the drug.
The proposed dosing regimen is based on the posology of the products long-time present on European markets and are considered effective and safe.
IV.5 Clinical Safety
The applicant provided a detailed clinical overview demonstrating that the active substances have a very well established safety profile. No new safety concerns were found in the safety data submitted in support of the present application.
Please see the product information for the full prescribing safety information.
Risk Management Plan
Risk Management Plan version 0.3, with date of final sign off of 17/01/2018 is considered acceptable. The approved summary of safety concerns is outlined below:
Routine pharmacovigilance and routine risk minimisation measures are proposed and this is considered acceptable.

INTRODUCTION
Livestock plays a pivotal role in the social and economic development of Pakistan. Livestock is the most important sector of agriculture. It contributes up to 60.1 % in the agricultural value added and about 11.7 % to the gross domestic product (GDP) of Pakistan during 2020-21, Moreover total livestock population in Pakistan
is 213.1 million heads including cattle 51.5 million (GOP, 2020-21). Cattle belong to the family Bovidae. Cattle were originated from Bostaurus or humpless cattle (Europe) and Bosindicus or humped cattle (Indo-Pakistan), The cattle breeds of Pakistan are Red Sindhi, Bhagnari, Sahiwal, Dhanni, Kankrej, Rojhan, Lohani, Cholistani, Dajal and Tharparkar (Farooq et al., 2013).Tharparkar is a lyrehorned breed that originated from the Thar Desert (Chand, 2011; Memon et al., 2022). It is one of the main breeds which is found in the Thar Desert mainly located in the India-Pakistan border,It is considered a dual purpose breed utilized as a draught and milking animal (Godara et al., 2015). Meanwhile, it has been blessed with the capabilities of heat tolerant, tick resistant, disease-resistant and a stable aboriginal indigenous breed.Tharparkar breed is producing approximately 5-10 L of milk per day and round about 1135-2000 L of milk per lactation (Choudhary et al., 2018).
BIOXcell TM is a commercial lecithin based extender. However, it has been used in many studies on exotic breeds but in Tharparkar cattle it's merely not used. Moreover, it has positive effects on the cryopreservation of semen so there was a dire need to study the effect of BIOXcell TM extender in Tharparkar cattle bull semen. BIOXcell TM has merits in case of lower sanitary risks, its chemically defined and ready to use meanwhile its commercially available (Akhter et al., 2010). The process of cryopreservations also leads to various intracellular changes which results in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are indirect cause of reduced reproductive capacity, DNA damage, increased membrane permeability. ROS damages plasma membranes and DNA molecules in the
Extenders are used for conservation, preservation and extension of semen. Moreover, extenders are also used to prevent different types of damages while processing, storage and shipping of semen. During the last 40 years, different extenders have been used for the evaluation of spermatozoa during cooling and post-thawing. Egg yolk-based semen diluents are readily used for the cryopreservation of semen (Apu et al., 2012; Emamverdi et al., 2014). Different components are combined for the preparation of semen extenders, such that they own all properties which have capabilities to protect the life of spermatozoa during extension at ambient environment and cryopreservation. It must be isotonic (maintain osmotic pressure) (280-310 mOsm/kg), maintain pH, cold shock defense, act as a source of energy (spermatozoa metabolism), antimicrobial, protect during cooled and post thawing and able to preserve sperm fertility for the long time duration (Raheja et al., 2018). Tris-based egg yolk extender is used for the extension of semen though it is a mixture of a substance having cryoprotectant properties. With long time storage, it shows qualities of a great stabilizing agent with constant results (Apu et al., 2012; Emamverdi et al., 2014).
sperm and other cells. High levels of superoxide ions, peroxynitrates hydrogen peroxide, harm the components of cells such as membrane lipids, organelles, proteins and DNA. To overcome ROS antioxidants are added, Vitamin E is the main antioxidant sited within the biological membranes that perform a key role in defending from lipid peroxidation. α-tocopherol breaks the chain reactions of lipid peroxidation but the mechanism of donation of a hydrogen atom from its phenolic hydroxyl group to lipid peroxyl radical resulting in the creation of stable lipid hydroperoxide and unreactive tocopheroxyl radicals. The antioxidant property of vitamin E can improve the postthawed traits of spermatozoa and could improve male fertility. Vitamin E has the antioxidant property that supports sperm against ROS damage (Almbro et al., 2011). The addition of antioxidant agents in semen extenders improves sperm longevity, individual motility, progressive motility and viability (Aminipour et al., 2013). Though cattle bull semen has a natural defense system against the ROS but that is not enough to prevent sperm against changes in decrease and increase in the temperature during the process of cryopreservation (Nichi et al., 2006; Khan et al., 2021). Artificial insemination and estrus synchronization are the techniques that provide opportunities to control the estrus cycle and reproductive management in bovines (Senger, 2005; Lijalem et al., 2015). For estrus synchronization, it is necessary to have cyclic cows with proper nutrition, good body condition scores (BCS) and high-quality semen (Lamb, 2012; Gizaw and Dima, 2016). There were several studies available on crypreservation but few were reported on indigenous Tharparkar cattle bull semen. Therefore, this study was designed with a hypothesis that supplementation of vitamin E (α-tocopherol) into BIOXcell TM and Trisbased egg yolk extender would enhance the post-thawed quality of Tharparkar cattle bull semen.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was carried out at Department of Animal Reproduction, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agricultural University Tandojam. In this study four fertile Tharparkar bulls (A, B, C and D) having age of 4-5 years were used. A total of 52 (n=13) ejaculates were collected with the help of artificial vagina, After the collection macroscopic (color, volume and pH) and microscopic (motility, morphology, viability, concentration and membrane integrity) parameters were observed. The samples having motility, morphology, viability and membrane integrity ≥ 70% were pooled and processed. Pooled semen samples were divided into four groups and diluted with Tris, Tris +Vitamin E(αtocopherol) 0.02 Mm/ml and BIOXcell TM , BIOXcell TM + Vitamin E(α-tocopherol) 0.02 Mm/ml.

The volume of semen was observed through visual examination with the help of a graduated tube. Visual examination was done for judgment of colour however semen was categorized as milky, creamy white and translucent (Kaka et al., 2012). pH of semen was determined by using a digital pH meter (Hanna Company, Instrument number #HI98107, software version v1.01, serial number # HA02122313, Made in Romania).
For the assessment of motility, the semen sample was diluted in normal saline at 1:100. After one drop of diluted sample was taken and put on a pre-warmed slide by applying a cover slip on it. While using (20 xs) underlow magnification Motility was observed. Motility percentage was taken by selecting 100 spermatozoa moving randomly in a straight forward direction. Spermatozoa that were stirring in a backward direction or circle were not counted moreover results were expressed in motility percentage. The sample with 70% motility was processed for further assessment.
The wave motion was assessed on a clean warm dry slide by putting a drop of undiluted semen under low power magnification (10X) with a phase-contrast microscope (Nikon, Germany). The wave sample was recorded and classified as described by Rehman (2012).
The diluted semen were packed into straws (0.25 ml). Moreover, straws were classified as red for BIOXcell TM (control group), white for BIOXcell TM (vitamin 0.2mM), yellow for tris-based egg yolk extender (control group) and blue for tris-based egg yolk extender (vitamin 0.2mM). Semen straws were filled with a manual suction machine. The semen straws were sealed with polyvinyl pyrrolidone powder (PVP). The process of filling and sealing were performed in the cold cabinet to maintain a similar temperature and prevent shock. The equilibration period was completed within 2 h at 5 o C.
The concentration of sperm was assessed with the help of haemocytometer as described by Kaka et al. (2012). As per the standard staining procedure of sperm, morphology was determined as described by (Kaka et al., 2012) and The viability of sperms was recorded as described by Kaka et al. (2012). Hypo osmotic swelling (HOST) test method was used to determine the membrane integrity of fresh semen samples as described by (Kaka et al., 2012).
Glycine 0.2 g, Anhydrous glucose 0.5 g, Taurine 0.005 g, Gentamicin sulphate 0.24 g, Tylosin tartrate 0.33 g, Lincospectin 100 0.383 g, Glycerol 40.2 g, Hydrate of calcium lactate 0.7 g, Soy lecithin 1.5 g, Monohydrate citric acid 2.5 g, Ultrapure water 1000 g (Penitente-Filho et al., 2014).
Freezing was carried out by holding the straws in liquid nitrogen vapors 5 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen for 6 min as described by Kaka et al. (2012). Then the straws were plunged into liquid nitrogen (-196 o C). The frozen semen were stored in liquid nitrogen at least for 24 h and then assessed for post-thaw qualities parameters i.e. motility, morphology, viability and membrane integrity were followed (Rasul et al., 2000; Kaka et al., 2012).
The collected data were subsequently subjected to a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Statistics (2006) and LSD was used to determine the difference among means of different groups.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Each semen sample was diluted with Tris-based egg yolk extender Tris 3.81g, Citric acid 1.97g, D (-) fructose 1.25g, egg yolk 20ml, Glycerol 7ml, Pencillin 1000 IU, Streptomycin 1.00 g, Distilled water 100, and BIOXcell TM (IMV technologies, L' Agile, France) as described by Kaka (2015), Tris 2.3 g, Sodium citrate 6.2 g, Potassium chloride 0.8 g, Fructose 1.2 g, Monohydrate lactose 0.8 g,
The results of macroscopic parameters i.e. volume, color, pH and microscopic parameters i.e. wave motion, motility, concentration, morphology, viability and membrane integrity of freshly collected semen from bulls A, B, C and D are depicted in Table I. Results showed a slightly highest (Mean % ± SEM) values of semen from bull D. However, no significant difference (P>0.05) were recorded amongst bulls.

Table II represent the (Mean±SEM) post-thaw assessment of semen quality parameters i.e. motility, morphology, viability and membrane integrity in BIOXcell TM and tris based egg yolk extender supplemented with and without vitamin E (α-tocopherol). Improved quality parameters were observed in BIOXcell TM supplemented with vitamin E (α-tocopherol). Moreover, significant difference (P<0.05) was observed among all groups.
48.94±0.83 and 48±1.0. The fluctuation in results might be due to the use of antioxidants at various concentrations and processing techniques. However, Towhidi and Parks (2012); Kaka (2015), Kaka et al. (2015b, 2016) and Yadav et al. (2019) studied motility in BIOXcell TM extender at various concentrations of vitamin E (α-tocopherol).

Table III. Conception rate of cows inseminated with Tharparkar bull semen diluted with BIOXcell TM (supplemented with 0.02mm of vitamin E (α-tocopherol).
Post-thaw morphology of Tharparkar bull semen was also greater in the group of BIOXcell TM supplemented with vitamin E (α-tocopherol) 0.02 Mm/ml. Which obtained results ranging from 76.22±1.04. Current findings agreed with Ansari et al. (2012) and Motemani et al. (2017), 75±3.1 and 75±1.7. However, the value means the value of the present study is higher than the results carried out by Kaka (2015), and Kaka et al. (2015a, b, 2016). Their results were 71.00±1.7, 72±1.2, 70.63±0.54 and 66.25±3.4. The difference in results may be due to processing techniques, the use of extenders with different compositions, or it depends on the use of antioxidants. Meanwhile, the use of various concentrations of antioxidants presents variations in results. Meanwhile, Ansari et al. (2012) and Motemani et al. (2017) studied morphology in BIOXcell TM extender at various concentrations of vitamin E (α-tocopherol).
Post-thaw motility of Tharparkar bull was observed in BIOXcell TM and Tris based egg yolk extender supplemented with and without vitamin E (α-tocopherol) 0.02 Mm/ml. The spermatozoa showed improved post-thaw results in BIOXcell TM supplemented with vitamin E (α-tocopherol) 0.02 Mm/ml, which ranged up to 58.31±0.86 and the results of motility of the current study agreed with the results obtained by Towhidi and Parks (2012), Kaka (2015) and Yadav et al. (2019). Their observed means were 61.67±0.59, 51.50±0.6 and 60.08±0.64. However, the value was lower than the findings observed by Motemani et al. (2017) 64.1±1.6. Meanwhile higher than the observations of Towhidi and Parks (2012), Ansari et al. (2012), and Kaka et al. (2015a, b, 2016), their recorded mean of findings was as 41.4±0.4, 48.54±1.6, 45.5±0.2,
In the last membrane integrity was also highest in group BIOXcell TM supplemented with vitamin E (α-tocopherol) 0.02 mM/ml. The findings were 64.68±1.43. The result of the present study agreed with the results of Motemani et al. (2017), 61.7±1.6 and lower than Kaka (2015), and Kaka et al. (2015a, b), 70.00±2.9, 75±1.6 and 74.84±1.8, respectively. Meanwhile, the value was higher
The highest viability of the current study was also obtained in BIOXcell TM supplemented with vitamin E (α-tocopherol) 0.02 Mm/ml. The obtained result was 71.27±1.44. Meanwhile, the result agreed with studies of Kaka (2015), and Kaka et al. (2015a, b, 2016, 2019). Their recorded values were as 71.75±1.5, 74±1.4, 73.42±0.96, 69.75±2.7 and 69.7±0.33. Value was higher than findings obtained by Towhidi and Parks (2012), Ansari et al. (2012) and Motemani et al. (2017), 45.1±1.4, 61.70±0.25 and 64.1±1.8. The variations in findings may be due use of antioxidants at various concentrations, processing techniques and so on so forth.

than Ansari et al. (2012), 60.11±2.3. These variations in research findings may be due to variance of management, use of antioxidants at various concentrations and another handling/ processing factors (Sansone et al., 2000).
CONCLUSION
On the basis of the current study, it concluded that BIOXcell TM and Tris-based egg yolk extender supplement with vitamin E (α-tocopherol) showed improved postthawed quality parameters of Tharparkar bull semen.
