The species like Acacia catechu, Acacia nilotica, Acacia suma, Albizia amara, Albizia chinensis, Albizia lebbek, Albizia odoratissima, Albizia procera, Dichrostachys cinerae, Parkia timoriana, Pithecellobium dulce, Xylia xylocarpa have been compared as per the data collected by Luxmi Chauhan and Peter Gasson. As well as the slides collected from the National Xylarium, FRI Uviversity, Dehradun, India were analysed under the Carl Zeiss light microscope. The photomicrographs were taken for the various micro histological character and comparative range graphs were prepared for the data collected by Luxmi Chauhan and Peter Gasson. Though it is known that no variations are found in the anatomical features of the species wherever it is grown, this study reflects that growth ring character, number of vessels/ sq. mm, Inter Vessel Pits diameter, Numbers of cells/strand, fibres character is affected by the change of geographical location. This survey has shown the possibilities and limits for identification of mimosid woods.<#LINE#>Luckow M.J.T., Miller D.J., Murphy and Livshultz T.

The area of study includes the entire Vasai fort, situated in Vasai (Bassein) Village and is inhabited by Fishermen. The area has floral biodiversity of trees, shrubs and wild plants and fauna includes insects, reptiles and aves. The present study was undertaken for a period of one year from June 2013 to July 2014 on Lepidopterans( butterflies species). The aim of this study was undertaken to explore the species richness and biodiversity of butterflies in and around Vasai fort. Butterflies are very sensitive to climate change and habitat degradation. They play an important role in the ecosystem as pollinators and are excellent indicator species. Butterflies were examined and photographed from the vicinity of Vasai fort. Butterflies belonging to five families and forty four species followed by Hesperiidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae were identified and recorded. Family Nymphalidae was the dominant family with 28 species which constituted 53.85% of the total butterflies recorded during the study period followed by Papilionidae(15.38%), Lycaenidae (13.46%) and Pieridae (11.54%), the least observed being from the Family Hesperiidae (5.77%).<#LINE#>Tiple A.D.

The lake Komaram Bem is situated at Utnoor town of Adilabad district. The investigation period from Sep 2011-Aug 2012. Zooplankton were examined quantitatively with stranded identification methods. Zooplankton species showed variations in  their abundance from one month to another month  the  result showed  that a  total of 17 genera were recorded  of  which 9 were  Rotifer, copepod 3, Cladoceran 3 and Ostracod 2. The present study revealed percentage wise composition of Rotifer 40.01%, copepod 29.8%, Cladocera 26.14%, Ostracod 3.9%. Shannon –winner  index  values ranges (2.013-2.167) Simpson  index  values ranges (0.2379- 0.2207 )  Dominance  index  values  ranges  (0.7391-0.7793) Evenness index  values ranges (0.916-0.9864). Maximum population density of Rotifer (102number/lit), copepod (140 number/lit), cladocera (142 number/lit), ostracod (10number/lit), were recorded at winter season and minimum Rotifer (46 number/lit), copepod (31 number/lit), cladocera (15 number/lit), and ostracod (9 number/lit), were recorded at summer season.  Avoid the pollution cause substrences into the lake and there of pre-treatment plant should be immediately installed for better   management of lake ecosystem.<#LINE#>Arora G.L.

Five different concentrations (1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%) of botanicals were prepared. Among the five different concentrations of botanicals tested and by light microscopic studies, the highly effective 4% was selected for the ultrastructural study. The effects of E. odoratum were evidently showed in the ultrastructure of epithelial layer, mainly consisting of excessive vacuolation and elongation of columnar and goblet cells, detachment of epithelial cell from the basement membrane and the presence some secretory vesicles. Severe loss of microvilli were noticed in both inside the goblet cells and apical region of columnar cells. Reduced number of endoplasmic reticulum and shrunken columnar cell nucleus were observed. The active ingredients present in the leaf extract of E. odoratum might be the cause for the destructive changes in the midgut epithelium. Since these changes might lead to serious digestive and metabolic disorders, thereby affecting the growth of the larvae, this botanical can be used for the management of this pest.<#LINE#>Singh R., Lakhanpal S.C. and Karkara B.K.

This taal (lake) has a vast dynamic landscape due to its wide openness, large standing water and extreme seasonal variations with huge biodiversity. The members of chlorophyceae group have been found dominant and determinative among the four classes of phytoplankton viz Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae studied. The maximum density of phytoplankton 1243.5±107.6 (1512.7 - 988.5) unitsL-1 was recorded during winter with low water temperature 19.2±0.73 (20.4-17.5) oC and carbon dioxide 2.3±0.06 (2.5-2.2) mgL-1. The rainfall and flood water enhanced the total solids 734.9±27.94 (810.0-675.6) mgL-1 that resulted the minimum density 529.0±86.0 (783.5 - 418.9) unitsL-1 of phytoplankton in rainy season. More water temperature 26.1±2.03 (30.5-21.4) oC moderated the density 902.4±147.4 (1196.5 - 629.0 unitsL-1) of phytoplankton.<#LINE#>Prakash S., Narain S. and Kumar S.

There are only limited diagnoses about the major cause of infection to initiate UTIs in humans. Most of the UTIs are caused by bacteria and fungus and are one of the most common indications for rapid increase in antibiotics usage for UTIs. FimH are surface organelles of Escherichia coli, responsible for UTIs, found on the tip of Escherichia coli pili that interact with oligomannose on urothelial cells of urinary tract. We selected six Benzimidazole derivatives, that exhibits antimicrobial activity, were docked against the FimH protein. The docking analysis of FimH against six Benzimidazole derivatives revealed that all six Benzimidazole derivatives have potential to work against UTIs, but 1-{1-[(2Z)-3-(3-chlorophenyl) prop-2-enoyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl}ethanol (-8.04 kcal/mol) fits better than the rest. Some of the commonly used drugs to treat UTIs include Ciprofloxin, Fosfomycin, Levofloxacin and Nitrofurantoin these drugs were subjected to docking analysis for comparative studies.<#LINE#>Becknell Brian et al.

For the antagonism effect of isolated healthy tomatoes flora organisms were applied against rotten mould flora isolated from the rotten tomato. In the antagonism study analyzed Lactobacillus sp. against Fusarium sp. (Inhibition zone 18 mm.), Alternaria sp. (Inhibition zone 15 mm.), Rhizopus sp. (Inhibition zone 20 mm), and Penicillium sp.

The study was done in context of increasing fish production in the rice-fish system of the Apatani landscape of Arunachal Pradesh in Northeast India. Nutrient content analyses of the formulated fish-feed showed it to be comparable with the standard feed material. Efficacy test of the formulated feed under laboratory condition showed that specific growth rate and condition factor of the stocked fish were significantly more when it was fed with a low dose of the formulated feed (i.e., @ 3% of the initial body weight). Overall, the study highlighted the possibility of increasing fish production in the rice-fish system of Apatani Plateau by exploiting the existing agro-based wastes.
