Integral transformations have been successfully used for almost two centuries in solving many problems in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering science. Shehu transform is new integral transform type which is convenient mathematical methods for solving advance problems of engineering and sciences which are mathematically expressed in terms of differential equations, system of differential equations, partial differential equations, integral equations, system of integral equations, partial integro-differential equations and integro differential equations. In this study, we discussed the relationship between this new integral transform with other some integral transforms.

Land and water resources assessment for irrigation wasimportant for decision makers and planner for sustainable natural resources. This research was to assess availability of irrigation inEyanda river watershed. Based on multi criteria evaluation method on suitable land for surface irrigation was evaluated based on soil physical properties, land cover type and slope. Watershed delineation was first completed, then suitable parameter for evaluating surface irrigation potential was characterized finally water potential assessment was done. After that each parameters for suitability assessment was reclassified and mapped according to suitability classification for determination irrigation development to reduce poverty. Then all parameters are overlaid and show that 71.4 % of the total lands were found between highly to slightly suitable for agriculture, whereas 28.6 % was unsuitable class due to slope, type of land cover in and soil physical properties soil suitability inEyanda watershed. The performance efficiency indicators were evaluated and the result was 0.84 for R 2 , RVE which was -8 and NSE was 0.5 for calibration and R2 was 0.76, NSE value was 0.87 and RVE value was -9 % for model validation of stream flow analysis and it shows that the parameter falls within the acceptable range. Crop water requirement was evaluated for sorghum, maize and pepper and Available water was calculated at 85 % consistent discharge abstracted from the ArcSWAT. The outcome designates that designates that water available in river was more than amount of water needed by crop.

Rheology is known to be the science of flow of matter and its deformation. It is the study of the way in which any material responds to the factors like applied stress or strain. Hence, it describes the interrelation between force, deformation and time. The study of rheological properties in the food sciences is of much importance as it got its utility in operations related to food processing and sensory characteristics. This is because textural characteristics of a food material defines its overall quality and unless the major quality attributes of the food product meets the defined quality standards, the product will get rejected eventually regardless of its nutritional count. The science of rheology not only deals with fluids but also with the solid foods. The aim of the present paper is to list out and evaluate the importance of different rheological properties of the food materials whether they are in the form of solids, fluids or frozen foods.
