applied in seismic provisions of risk assessments, insurance rate structures, building codes and more. They developed these maps by studying information on potential earthquakes and associated ground shaking studies. Many lives are lost due to the collapse of buildings less than a few minutes after the main shocks. As said by Elsevier Science B.V (2002) there are two key elements in the urgent countermeasure. ‘One is strengthening of weak structures and other is short-term earthquake prediction’. Scientists

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of study Since the beginning of agriculture humans have had to endure major crop losses because of disease. Even today, when crop health is under careful scrutiny, disease may suddenly strike and ruin an entire season's growth. Fungal plant pathogens play an important role in all our lives as they threaten food security, economic prosperity and natural environments. Many fungi produce biologically activecompounds, several of which are toxicto animals or plants

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Dengue is an arbovirus disease complex which includes dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and its subsequent dengue shock syndrome (DSS). It is caused by four serotypes of dengue virus. A dengue virus infection may be asymptomatic or it may lead to undifferentiated viral fever syndrome, dengue fever, fever hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. (World Health Organization 2003) The disease is often, though not exclusively
