The oil extracted from seeds can be converted into biodiesel by transestrification. The present study involves 92 plants over 59 accessions to estimate variation and grading for seed characteristics. The variability in seed length was used as base to formulate seed grade (I to IX). The grading based on seed length and subclasses within unfilled and filled class of seeds in eight accessions revealed that grade I to IV with seed length of 1.3 to 1.6 cm constitute unfilled class of seeds called underdeveloped, where as grade V to IX with 1.7 to 2.1 cm length constitute filled class of seed called developed seeds. The seed traits of accessions under study have shown maximum seed range in the seed length, thickness and breadth (1.3 cm to 2.1 cm, 1.0 cm to 1.2 cm and 0.8 cm to 1.0 cm) is higher than reported11,12. The facts reveal that variation could be mainly due to genetic variation. The variation need to be screened to identify plants with higher length breadth and thickness and also to develop mechanical screening based on seed size to isolate desired grade for oil extraction. <#LINE#> @ @ Correll D.S. and Correll H.B., Flora of the Bahama Archipelago.

Art’s, Sci. and Comm. College Deola, Dist- Nashik., University of Pune, INDIA<#LINE#>2/1/2014<#LINE#>4/2/2014<#LINE#>Groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) is the major edible oilseed crop of India. It accounts for 45% of the area and 55% of the production of total oilseeds in the country. It also accounts for 43% of total oil production in the country. Within the country, Andhra Pradesh ranks second in both area and production. The crop is grown in rainy (85% area), post-rainy (10% area) and summer (5% area) seasons. The rainy season groundnut is generally Rainfed, while post-rainy and summer groundnuts are irrigated. Productivity of the crop is however low, primarily because of its cultivation in marginal and sub-marginal soils under Rainfed conditions subjected to frequent droughts, poor agronomic practices and low levels of input, use of traditional low yielding varieties, incidence of insect pests and diseases. The average yield of Kharip groundnut in India is extremely low, 750 kg/ha, compared to yields at over 3000kg / ha in the developed countries. In this research paper Forty eight farmers were selected from rural Tahsil i.e. Kalwan of Nashik District. All farmers are grouped into four classes A, B, C and D. Group ‘A’ and ‘B’ farmers were supplied Rhizobium biofertilizer packets for seed dressing. Farmers were communicated by seed dressing at homes, at fields, supplied pamphlets, arranging poster show in respective villages. To determine per hectare yield, pods were harvested and weighed separately. The pod yield of treated plots was compared with untreated plots. The pod yield data was recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The pod yield increases by 18 to 21 %, which is stimulatory for Groundnut in Kharif season. <#LINE#> @ @ Wangikar, S.D.Training needs of Tribal farmers on new Agricultural technology, Maha. J. Extn.

The selected wood properties were fibre length, vessel length, fibre length increment and wood density. The main aim of the study was to evaluate radial variation in wood properties from pith to bark for effective utilization. The mean range of fibre length, vessel length, fibre length increment and wood density were 736.68µm -1300.03 ± 33.56µm, 341.10µm -431.44 ± 14.71µm, 381.31 µm -825.85 ± 19.60 µm and 0.33-0.53 ± 0.38 respectively. ANOVA carried out among trees showed non-significant variation in all wood properties. Wood density, fibre length and fibre length increment increased from pith to 40mm. and afterwards it remained more or less constant.  There was gradual increase in vessel length from pith to bark. The regression models for fibre length, fibre length increment, vessel length and wood density were Y=675.26+110.87lnX, Y=312.96+100.28lnX, Y=389.76+0.31X and 0.30+0.04lnX respectively. Distance from pith had significant and positive correlation with fibre length, fibre length increment and wood density while the relationship between distance from pith and vessel length was too weak to be significant. On the basis of radial variation in wood properties, the boundary between juvenile wood and mature wood could be marked at 40mm. from pith for all selected parameters. The present study revealed that the plantation timber of Terminalia myriocarpa could be suitable for different end uses at this age. <#LINE#> @ @ Kundu M., Terminaliamyriocarpa Heurck. and Muell-Arg., Seed Leaflet,  161(8), 1-2 (2012) @No $ @ @ Purkayastha S.K., A manual of Indian Timbers, Sribhumi Publ.

Young shoots of D. brandisii are edible. Although, abundant seed production is observed during gregarious flowering, viability of seeds under natural conditions is very short. In the present study, accelerated ageing test was carried out to predict the storability of seeds. Seeds were subjected to accelerated ageing at 42±1°C with a relative humidity of 100% for 0, 1, 3, 5 and 8 days, in a covered water bath. Germination test and biochemical analyses were carried out for control and aged seeds. The initial germination percentage was 59.71% and after accelerated ageing germination declined to 15.39%. Total soluble proteins, sugars and starch content decreased during the ageing process. There was a gradual decrease in the activity of acid and alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase, while the activity of -amylase and -amylase increased during accelerated ageing. Hence the decrease in the viability of D. brandisii seeds may be due to the changes in the biochemical content and the activity of enzymes involved in the degradation of seed reserves. <#LINE#> @ @ Seethalakshmi K.K. and Kumar M.S., Bamboos in India-a compendium.

Analysis on soil parameters responsible for improving soil aggregation after a period of 24 weeks showed influence of AM fungal inoculations on root colonization (93 %), soil spore load (620 spores 100 g-1 soil), particulate organic matter (60 mg g-1 soil), microbial count (9.7 x 105 of bacteria, 10.3 x 104 of fungi and 1.4 x 103 of actinobacteria), micronutrient contents (4.96 ±0.06, 0.83±0.05 and 3.52±0.20 ppm of iron, copper and zinc respectively) soil organic carbon (0.37 %), total glomalin production (62 µg of protein g-1 of soil) as well as the water soluble carbohydrate content (0.67 mg g-1 soil). Therefore the aggregate stability of the soil has been increased to 53 % where, the standard strains ranked the highest followed by the sodic soil isolates, Glomus mosseae (TRY 3) and Scutellospora sp. (TRY 2). Overall results showed the positive influence of AM fungi on soil aggregation. <#LINE#> @ @ Hodge A., Campbell C.D and Fitter A.H., An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus accelerates decomposition and acquires nitrogen directly from organic material.

In aquatic resources, fishes are sensitive to the toxic substances mixed into water and deleterious effect of metals or heavy metals on fishes. The mosquitoes are breeding the larvae into the water which is the feeding source of the mosquito fish, called as Mosquito fish. The toxic substances are damage to the organism and degree of the cell damage reflects the various concentrations of the pollutants. In the present study an attempt is made to the Monocrotophos, an industrial as well agricultural effluence on Gambusia affinis. 50% mortality was exposure to Monocrotophos on 0.4 ppm at 96 hrs. The impact of Monocrotophos on the gill of Gambusia affinis, gill filaments are twisted and primary axis is in filtered of Gambusia affinis. The gill exhibited a film of coagulated mucous over the gill surface. <#LINE#> @ @ Hinton and Lauren.

Increasing reports of Immunological responses limit the utilization of the enzyme and indicate the need of new L-asparginase with new characteristics. Besides its clinical application this enzyme is widely used in food industries to significantly reduce the formation of acrylamide – a potent carcinogen in baked and fried food products. Screening of L-asparginase producing isolate from the highly alkaline and saline Lonar Lake has not been reported yet and an attempt for the same is made in this study. Out of 1592 total colonies four isolates were identified as L-asparginase producers by rapid plate assay. Further, a single isolate with the highest enzyme activity of 16.746 IU/ml was selected and identified. The organisms of the red pigmented, sticky, circular colonies having gram negative cell wall and rod shaped morphology showed positive tests for nitrate reductase, catalase and oxidase. The partial 16S rRNA sequence of the isolate showed maximum similarity with Stenotrophomonas koreensis TR6-01 strain. The alkalitolerant and halotolerant characteristic of this strain was revealed when the growth was observed in the media of pH10 and salt concentration of 4%. <#LINE#> @ @ Kidd J., Regression of transplanted lymphomas induced in-vivo by means of normal guinea pig serum, J.

This study aimed to compare antioxidant capacity of raw tea powder and tea waste sample by FRAP assay. Antioxidant activity of methanolic (50%) and distilled water extract of raw tea powder and tea waste sample were analyzed by FRAP assay. Total phenolic content was determinedusing Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and calculated as gallic acid equivalent per gram dry weight. Total antioxidant activity was found to be 0.930 mmol FeII/g of dry weight (waste tea) and 0.995 mmol FeII/g of dry weight (raw powder). Total phenolic content was 0.232 g gallic acid/g of dry weight (waste tea) and 0.162 g gallic acid/g of dry weight (raw powder). A correlation between total antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and gallic acid was tested between two samples. Because of contribution of phenolic compounds these samples possess higher antioxidant activity. It is strong radical scavenger and can consider as a good source of natural antioxidant for medicine purposes. <#LINE#> @ @ M. Hajimahmoodi, M. Hanifeh, M.R. Oveisi, N. Sandeghi, B.

The developed membranes were characterised by FT-IR and SEM techniques. Imprinted membranes showed specificity towards the template progesterone. Among the various copolymers, the acrylamide incorporated copolymer showed high binding towards the used template. Investigation of the selectivity characteristics revealed that the developed membranes showed selectivity toward the template progesterone than similar compounds. The bound template could be totally recovered and regenerated membranes maintain their recognition property after repeated use. On the basis of the results, the imprinted polymer can be applied for the direct extraction of progesterone in clinical analysis. <#LINE#> @ @ Ovidiudima S., Sarbu A., Dobre T., Bradu C., Antohe N., Lauraradu A. and Nicolescu T.V., A.

A large quantity of commercially available dyes is known to be used in the textile industries today and 10 % of nearly a million tons of dyes that are produced are released in environment as dyestuff waste. These dyes when disposed into the environment causes pollution and serious irreversible damage to the ecosystem as they significantly affect the photosynthetic activity of aquatic plants and are also toxic to aquatic organisms which eventually get into the food chain. In the present study the bacteria were isolated from samples collected from various textile industry effluent samples and were assayed for its dye degradation ability. The bacterial isolates which were capable of complete degradation of the dye were identified by morphological and biochemical characterization. The activity of these bacteria on different dyes for maximum degradation was tested using different physical parameters like different pH, temp and Dye concentration. The test organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed maximum dye degradation on the 8th day of incubation at 40 mg/l of dye concentration. The test organism showed maximum degradation at 40 C, and a optimal pH of 6.0 to 8.0. In the present investigation Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be capable of maximum degradation of all the dye samples. The present study reveals the practical application potential of using bacterial species in the bioremediation of dye effluents that can be used to reduce pollution caused by textile industries. <#LINE#> @ @ Fu Y. and Viraraghavan T., Fungal decolorization of dye wastewaters: a review, Bioresour Technol, 79, 251–262 (2001), 59-62 (2014) @No $ @ @ Carliell C.M., Barclay S.J., Naidoo N., Buckley C.A., Mulholland D.A. and Senior E., Microbial decolourisation of a reactive azo dye under anaerobic conditions, Water SA, 21(1), 61–69 (1995) @No $ @ @ Easton J., The dye maker’s view.

Ash has a high silica with smaller amount of aluminium, iron, alkali and alkaline earth oxides. In this study an attempt has been made to use this waste ash as a partial replacement of ceramic body (Clay, Feldspar, Quartz) by different weight percentage are used to produce ceramic specimen. The chemical composition of the samples was determined by using XRF. Each composition was milled in a ball mill to obtain a suitable homogenous powder for specimen preparation. The green specimen was sintered under controlled temperature. The manufactured specimen was tested for its quality assessment. The observed mechanical parameter and analytical results of the specimens were correlated with the reference. The investigation reveals that high quality ceramic specimens could be achieved from blended materials. Thus, sugarcane bagasse ash waste presents high potential for application in the manufacture of ceramic products. <#LINE#> @ @ Ajay Goyal, H kunio, Ogata and Mandula, Properties and Reactivity of sugarcane Bagasse Ash,” 12th International colloquim on structural and geotechnical engineering,1, 1-5 (2007) @No $ @ @ Paya J., Monzo J., Borrachero M.V., Diaz-Pinzon L. and Ordonez L.M., Sugarcane Bagasse ash Studies on its properties for reusing in concrete production, Journal of chemical Tech. and Biotechnology,77(3), 321-325 (2002) @No $ @ @ Stanmore BR.

We report the characterisation of surfactant free hydrothermally prepared Zinc Stannate ceramics.  The pH of the crystal growing medium is varied as 7, 8 and 10. The improvement of crystallinity of the samples with increase in basicity of the medium is clear from XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) results.  Amorphous nature of the sample drastically changed and showed high crystalline nature while the pH of the medium increased to 10. The chemical composition of the samples was confirmed via EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectra). The pH variation has a prominent effect on the morphology of the sample. Perfect cubic shaped particles were observed for high pH sample in the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) images. Diffuse reflectance spectra analysis showed that the UV absorption characteristic is also improved with the increase in basicity of the medium. <#LINE#> @ @ Nomura K., Ohta H., Ueda K., Kamiya T., Hirano M. and Hosono, Microelectronic.

Micro insurance contributes significantly to alleviate poverty and to raise the living standard of the people of the country. Hence it is imperative to conduct a research study on the performance of MI and find out the relevant problems. The research study was conducted in Coimbatore during 2013 with a sample of 100 MI(life) Policy holders. The objectives are i. To identify socio-economic determinants of MI(life)  demand in Coimbatore. ii. To ensure the level of satisfaction of MI(life) holders. iii. To identify specific problems relating to MI(life). To achieve these objectives a research methodology was framed. The research design is both descriptive and analytical. Both primary (questionnaire) and secondary data were used. The data collected was analyzed with relevant statistical tools like percentage, mean score, Kruskal Wallis H-Test, factor analysis and Likert scale technique. From the analyzed data results were derived. Findings were summarized and presented in the research study. The study shows the growing popularity of MI(life) policy and the awareness among the public. Micro Insurance can play a crucial role as a comprehensive tool to reduce poverty, inequality and vulnerability, particularly where public social protection measures are inadequate and unevenly distributed.  <#LINE#> @ @ Siegel, Paul B., Jeffery Alwang and Sundharshan Canagarajah, Viewing Micro insurance as a social risk management instrument, World Bank Social protection discussion paper,116, (2001) @No $ @ @ Churchill, protecting the poor, A micro insurance compendium.

Nowadays surface water bodies  are getting  polluted due to discharge  of large amount of untreated sewage into them,a common practice of disposal.  Farmers are using this sewage polluted water to irrigate their vegetable fields in city conurbations. Such irrigation practices are common to solve the problem of water shortage. The present research was done to study whether sewage water imposes raised oxidative stress condition and affects nutrients contents of crops. The study  was  done to observe effect of  75%, 50%, 25%  diluted and 0% (undiluted) sewage  of Krishnapura nallah Indore onPeroxidase Enzyme activity  (marker of Stress) ,Carbohydrate, Protein and Iron content of Seedlings of Trigonella foenumgraecum (Methi). Significant reduction in peroxidase activity was observed at 50% and 75% dilution of sewage when compared with undiluted sewage i.e.0 % dilution. Reductions were also significant at all dilutions when compared with Tap water. Carbohydrate content was found to be significantly decreased at all dilutions of sewage   when compared with tap water and also with undiluted sewage. Protein content was found to be significantly decreased at all dilutions of sewage   when compared with tap water and also with undiluted sewage . Significant reduction in Iron content was found at 75% dilution of sewage when compared with undiluted sewage. Significant reduction in iron content was also observed with untreated sewage when compared with tap water but insignificant with 50 % and 25 % dilution of sawage. From the results of present study it is concluded that undiluted and diluted sewage were not imposing raised oxidative stress.Reduction in protein ,carbohydrate,and iron content  might be due to higher amount of organic and inorganic material specially toxic heavy  metals in sewage which are adversely affecting the enzymses of metabolic pathway.<#LINE#> @ @ Sharma A., Ashwath N., Land disposal of municipal effluents: Importance of choosing agro forestry systems, Desalination,187, 362-374 (2006) @No $ @ @ Kalavrouziotisa I. and Apostolopoulos C., An integrated environmental plan for the reuse of treated waste water effluents from WWTP in urban areas, Build.

<#LINE#>31/12/2013<#LINE#>4/2/2014<#LINE#>GM foods (genetically modified foods) are produced by incorporating the desired gene into the genome of the host plant, there by introducing desirable changes in the host using techniques of genetic Engineering. Genetic Engineering is more advantageous compared to selective breeding in bringing about desirable changes in a much faster way. The world population is expected to reach 9 billion people by the year2050, requiring 70% more food than what is produced at present. Food security is needed for growing population which cannot be met by conventional breeding methods because of limited land resources and other environmental conditions. Since GM foods offer superior qualities, give higher yield and can be grown in a wide variety of environmental conditions compared to conventionally grown foods, they are the only way to meet the required food demand. Till now only a small percentage of total agricultural land was being used for the cultivation of GM crops. This is the situation all around the world which should be changed. So the government should take necessary measures to educate the farmers regarding the beneficial characters of GM crops and encourage them to cultivate the same. People around the globe are having many doubts and myths regarding the safety of GM foods. This could be due to lack of proper awareness regarding GM foods and added to this many companies are misleading the public by printing  false and misleading labels on  their products like - ‘GM free foods’, ‘Safe and GM free’ etc. In this context, the current study is undertaken to know the awareness, acceptability and myths’ regarding GM foods among Educated and Uneducated communities through a questionnaire supplied to them. The statistical significance of the data obtained was tested by using Fisher-exact test. <#LINE#> @ @ Nataliya Mogilna., Alex Magufwa., “Genetic modified foods: advantages and disadvantages”. http:// essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/bitstream/123456789/7916/1/14.pdf(2013) @No $ @ @ Bruening G. and Lyons J.M., The case of the FLAVR SAVR tomato, Calif Agric.,54 (4), 6–7 (2000) @No $ @ @ FAO.

In southern Kerala these swamps are present in Kulthupuzha, Anchal forest ranges and Shendurney WLS. The small size of swamp patches and thick forest canopy challenge the efficacy of usual mapping techniques such as Remote sensing and GPS survey. So a combination of conventional (compass survey) and latest survey technique (GPS survey) was used for the mapping. Conversion, plotting of spatial layers, map generation and analysis was done by using customized and Open Source GIS softwares. We mapped 60 Myristica swamp patches from the study area contributing 149.75 hectare (ha) (0.01348% of Kerala forest). The area of swamps ranges from 0.22 to 16 ha Kulathupuzha Forest Range has 31 swamps (78.73 ha), Shendurney WLS has 16 (37.35ha) and Anchal has 13 (33.67ha). GIS simulation studies reveals that 148.57 km2 area (1.34% of Kerala forest) in Kerala has potential for Myristica swamps, in which Thiruvanathapuram and Punalur forest division has maximum area to support Myristica swamps. Exact mapping proved a decisive tool for conservation and management efforts. <#LINE#> @ @ Cowardin L.M., Carter V., Golet F.C. and La Roe E.T., Classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats of the United States.

Five experimental feeds were prepared by adding 5 grams of plant powder to the basal diet and one control feed without plant powder. The fishes were supplemented with these feeds for 45 days and the results were obtained for every 15 days once. The data were anaylzed usinh one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the means were separated using least significant differences. The fishes fed with Moringa oliefera supplemented feed showed maximum increase in weight (0.96%, 1.33%, 1.78%) and specific growth rate. The maximum increase in length was observed in the fishes that were fed Ocimum basilicum supplemented feed (1.2%, 1.6%, 2.0%).

Mrigal fingerlings of about 5.30 ± 0.03 g and Carp fingerlings of about 3.50 ± 1.50 g were fed, diets supplemented with three concentrations (1.5 %, 3 %, and 6 %) of herbal diet for 30 and 60 days. Survival, specific growth rate, feed conversion rate, feed efficiency and relative growth rate parameters were significantly different (p  0.05) and higher in experimental groups compared to control. The highest weight gain (17.75 ±0.19; 50.91 ±0.39) and feed conversion ratio (0.92 ±0.01; 0.64 ±0.03) of C. mrigala were observed at 30 and 60 days respectively in 3% herbal diet fed group and lowest in control. In addition, the highest weight gain (18.97 ±0.10; 51.53 ±0.20) and feed conversion ratio (0.56 ±0.007; 0.42 ±0.005) of C. carpio were observed in 3% herbal diet and lowest in control. Protein efficiency ratio and specific growth rate for C. mrigala and C. carpio respectively were higher in fishes fed with 3% herbal diet and lowest in control. The overall difference in parameters between C. mrigala and C. carpio were significant among experimental group than the control (p  0.05).

Villagers and traditional healers (Ojhas) were consulted to gather information on medicinal plants. In the present study a total of 66 medicinal plants belonging to 61 genera and 40 families were documented and information on local names, scientific names, family, habit, plant parts used and medicinal uses of these plants were also given. Trees were the main sources of medicinal plants followed by shrubs, climbers and herbs. The recorded plant species were used for common ailments like headache, stomach problems, cold, cough and fever, jaundice, skin diseases, blood pressure and epilepsy etc. Bark and leaves were mostly used plant parts, followed by roots, fruits and seeds for curing diseases. The recorded plants were consumed orally in the form of juice or decoction. It was also observed that knowledge of medicinal plants was confined only to elder people and traditional healers (ojhas) and source of extraction of these valuable resources were nearby forests. <#LINE#> @ @ Mao A.A., Hyniewta T.M. and Sanjappa M., Plant wealth of Northeast India with reference to ethnobotany, Ind.

The crude enzyme preparation of Aspergillus sp. exhibited fructosyltransferase activity of 5.0 U.mg-1 at 60 per cent sucrose concentration. The specific activity was recorded at its highest rate at the substrate concentration of 40 per cent (9.05 U.min-1.mg-1 of protein). The high performance liquid chromatography analysis of the end products of fructosyl enzyme activity on sucrose had shown the formation of, 1-kestose and nystose along with glucose, fructose and unhydrolyzed sucrose. The enzyme activity was stable at a temperature of 52°C and at a pH of 4.5. The activity of enzyme was enhanced by addition of 1 mM FeSO (7.1 U.min-1.mg-1 of protein) and also by addition of Fe2+ and its combination with Ca2+ (9.2 U.min-1.mg-1 of protein). Susceptibility to detergents was observed. The selectivity of conversion of sucrose to fructooligosaccharides obtained by the enzyme was approximately 70 per cent under optimized conditions. The partially purified fructosyltransferase preparation from Aspergillus sp. is found applicable for industrial production of fructooligosaccharides. <#LINE#> @ @ Pszczola D.E., The Nutraceutical Initiative: A Proposal for Economic and Regulatory Reform, Food Biotechnol.,4677-79, (1992) @No $ @ @ Kalra E.K., Nutraceutical – definition and introduction, AAPS Pharm Sci., 5, E25, (2003) @No $ @ @ Roberfroid M. and Slavin, J., Nondigestible oligosaccharides, Crit.

The ligand and metal complex were characterised by elemental analysis, magnetic measurement, molar conductance, FTIR, UV-Vis spectra, ESR and mass spectral studies. Analytical data suggests the molecular formula of the complex as [CuL]Cl. The IR spectral data suggest that the [L] is acting as neutral bidentate ligand towards Cu(II) in its complex.IR, ESR and magnetic susceptibility of the sample taken in the solid state, electronic and mass spectra are taken in the ethanolic solution and the conductance is measured in the solution state. The electronic spectral data and magnetic moment value agrees to the tetrahedral geometry of the complex. The electrolytic nature is evidenced from the high conductance data. The biological screening activity of the ligand and its copper(II) complex against the bacteria Escherichia Coli, Vibreo Cholerae and fungi Aspergillus Niger, and Penicillium Crysogenum are also reported. The complex exhibit increased activity than the ligand. <#LINE#> @ @ Sondhi S.M., M. Dinodia and Kumar A., Bioorg. Med Chem., 14, 4657 (2006) @No $ @ @ Jayabalakrishnan C. and Natarajan K., React.

The results indicate that static quenching and non radiative energy transfer are the main reason of fluorescence quenching. The synergism results in both the reduction of the binding stability between drugs and BSA and an increase of the free drug concentration, which will increase the efficacy of drugs. The binding distances (r) between the drugs and BSA were obtained based on Försters theory of non-radiation energy transfer. The results indicated that the effect of synergism affected the conformation of BSA. <#LINE#> @ @ Grem J.L., Hoth D.F., Hamilton J.M. and  King S.A.,  The efficacy of 5-fluorouracil in human colorectal cancer is not enhanced by thymidylate synthetase inhibition with CB3717 (N10-propargyl-5, 8 dideazafolic acid) @No $ @ @ , Cancer Treat Rep.,, 71, 1249 -1264 (1981) @No $ @ @ 2.Sotos G.A., Grogan L. and Allegra C.J., Paradoxical effects of 5-FU/folinic acid on lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell induction in patients with colorectal cancer, Cancer Treat.

Functional monomer and crosslinker used for the polymerization process are methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate respectively. Core–shell molecularly imprinted polymer overcomes the problems associated with the template transfer and increases the binding capacity.  Porogen used is a mixture solution of acetonitrile and toluene.  Morphology of the synthesized MWCNT- MIP composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which confirmed homogeneous formation of MIP on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes.  Investigation of adsorption and kinetic characteristics revealed that the MWCNT-MIP composites contain homogeneous binding sites and have high binding capacity. Selectivity of the synthesized polymer was evaluated using dopamine as the structurally related compound which demonstrated that imprinted polymer has high selectivity towards tyramine. <#LINE#> @ @ Jiadong H., Xianrong X., Xiuming Z., Xiaorui He. and Lin Q., A molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on multiwalled carbon nanotube-gold nanoparticle composites and chitosan for the detection of tyramine, Food Res.

PNMANI was prepared by free radical polymerisation using ammonium peroxodisulphate as initiator. 100ppm PNMANI exhibited 70% inhibition efficiency. In order to enhance the inhibitive action of PNMANI, histidine was added as a synergistic additive. The influence of histidine on PNMANI has been evaluated by weight loss and electrochemical methods. As expected, the inhibition efficiency gradually increased with increase in histidine concentration. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 89% was achieved for the inhibitor system viz 100ppm of PNMANI-130ppm of histidine.

The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-vis. spectroscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. TEM images suggest that the nanoparticles are of spherical shape with an average diameter of 18.84 nm. The reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by NaBH in aqueous medium was selected as a model reaction to investigate the catalytic activity of AgNPs. The pectin stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNP-pectin) were found to exhibit very good catalytic activity and the reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetics. The rate of reaction was found to increase with increasing temperature and the activation energy was found to be 47.3 kJ mol-1. <#LINE#> @ @ Murray R.W., Nanoelectrochemistry: metal nanoparticles, nanoelectrodes and nanopores, Chem Rev., 108, 2688-2720 (2008) @No $ @ @ Kundu S, Mandal M, Ghosh S.K. and Pal T., Photochemical deposition of SERS active silver nanoparticles on silica gel and their application as catalysts for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds, J.

The beam specimens used for this study were unbonded post-tensioned. The PSC beams were strengthened with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) plates with different configurations and thicknesses of 3 mm and 5 mm. The beams were tested under a static gradual loading up to failure to examine its flexural behaviour. The study parameters were ultimate load, ultimate deflection, ductility, failure mode and cracking pattern of the beams. The study showed that the UDCGFRP plates were found to be very effective in ultimate load carrying capacity, deflection and ductility when compared to other beams. The test results showed that the GFRP strengthened PSC beam increased its load carrying capacity by 89 % over the control beam. GFRP strengthened PSC beam showed an increase in ductility by 90% than the control beam. The PSC beam specimens failed either by crushing of concrete and by rupturing of FRP.  <#LINE#> @ @ Hassan T. and Rizkalla S., Flexural strengthening of prestressed bridge slabs with FRP systems, PCI J.,47(1),76–93 (2002) @No $ @ @ Alagusundaramoorthy P., Harik I.E. and Choo C.C., Flexural behavior of R/C beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer sheets or fabric, J.

The optimum temperature, pH and NaCl concentration for growth of this strain was found to 41°C, 6.5, and 4.5% respectively. The strain Si showed 100% reduction ofstandardsulphatein 11hrs., with no production of sulfide. This result reflects the presence of assimilatory sulfate reduction pathway type I, which reduces sulfate to sulfite and finally to sulfide that is accumulated in the cellfor cysteine biosynthesis. The analysis of the effluent collected from colour and dye industry showed high concentration of sulphate (689ppm).These effluent wassubjected to sulphidogenesis by strain Si and there was complete reduction of sulphate in 12.30 hrs.with no production of sulphide. Phylogenetic analysis of 16s rRNA sequence placed strain Si in gamma subclass of proteobacter, showing highly similarity with other phylogenetic relatives. Thus this isolate is a member of genus Aeromonas and the type strain is hydrophila strain ZHYYZ-1. The result indicated that Aeromonashydrophila strain ZHYYZ-1 has high efficiency of sulphate reduction in much less time with no production of sulfide than previously studied anaerobic bacteria.  <#LINE#> @ @ Cloetete., Gerber a. and Maritz l.

Being semi conducting in nature they also exhibit elevated photo-catalysis at nanoscale. This effect of photo catalysis can be utilized for degradation of dyes. The cerium-iron core-shell nanostructures were formed by simple co-precipitation technique and analyzed for stability over a period of one week. The stable suspensions were subjected to particle size analysis and zeta potential measurement. Polystyrene is a rigid polymer which can be used to fabricate a simple matrix over with a layer of cerium-iron oxide composite can be coated. This matrix will be used as a column in a simulated reactor which can effectively permeate water and remove the organic and inorganic contaminants in a normal atmospheric and environmental condition. Having high affinity for the heavy metals like cadmium and arsenic iron nanoparticles serve as the chemical affinity provider and cerium acts as a photocatalyst. The waste water can be analyzed by UV Visible spectroscopy for the amount of contaminants present before and after the treatment process to measure the distribution of the heavy metals in the samples<#LINE#> @ @ Xue Y., Luan Q.F., Yang D., Yao X. and Zhou K.B., Direct Evidence for Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Activity of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles, Journal of Physical Chemistry C(2011) @No $ @ @ Narendhar  C., Murugu mohan kumar  S., Regitha M., Karpanai selvan B., Selvapriya A. and Janani D., Facile Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Antimicrobial Activity, Asian Journal of Chemistry; 25,Supplementary Issue (2013) @No $ @ @ Luciano Carlos, Fernando S.

But their rampant use leads to antimicrobial resistance; a global growing issue affecting both developed and developing countries. Determining the susceptibility profile of potential pathogens is therefore necessary. Efficacy of natural phyto-chemicals isolated from plants and oral hygiene products against Streptococcus mutans; the principal dental pathogen associated with dental caries and other cariogenic bacteria isolated using the method of pure culturing has been evaluated. However, the literature lacks studies evaluating the efficacy of antibiotics against the microflora responsible for dental caries. Therefore, commercially used drugs were screened for their in-vitro antimicrobial potency against the microbial community obtained from dentinal caries lesion using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The polymicrobial growth showed susceptibility towards all the tested antibiotics except in few samples where Ampicillin/Cloxacillin, Cefixime/Clavulanic acid, Cephalexin, Cefixime and Ampicillin/ Sulbactam showed no zone of inhibition; suggesting possible resistance to such antibiotics in these patients. The comprehensive data obtained may support the polymicrobial etiology of dental caries. Such study may further allow investigation on the spatial distribution of pathogenic, antibiotic resistant bacteria among patients suffering from dental caries. <#LINE#> @ @ Costerton J.W., Lewandowski Z., Caldwell D., Korber D. and Lappin-Scott H.M., Microbial biofilms, Annu Rev Microbiol., 49, 711-745 (1995) @No $ @ @ Sauer K., The genomics and proteomics of biofilm formation, Genome Biol., , 219 (2003) @No $ @ @ Bowen W.H., Do we need to be concerned about dental caries in the coming millennium?, Crit Rev Oral Biol Med., 13(2), 126-131 (2002) @No $ @ @ Singh V., Chauhan P.K., Choudhary S., Tyagi A. and Kaushal S., AntibioGram pattern of Streptococcus causing dental plaque, International Journal of Universal Pharmacy and Life Sciences., , 29-34 (2011) @No $ @ @ Smiline G.A., Pandi S.K., Hariprasad P. and Raguraman R., A preliminary study on the screening of emerging drug resistance among the caries pathogen isolated from carious dentine, Indian J Dent Res.,23, 26-30 (2012) @No $ @ @ Sato T., Hoshino E., Uematsu H. and Noda T., In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility to combinations of drugs on bacteria from carious and endodontic lesions of human deciduous teeth, Oral Microbiol Immunol., , 172-176 (1993) @No $ @ @ Oshomoh E.O. and Idu M., Antimicrobial activity of Ethanol and Aqueous extracts of Parinari Curatellifolia (Stem) on dental caries causing microbes, Int J Pharm Sci Res., , 2113-2118 (2012) @No $ @ @ Prashanth F.M.B., Kannan I., Sambandam C., Jayalakshmi M., Premavathy R.K. and Shantha S., A study on in-vitro antibacterial activity of Ficus bengalensis Linn. on dental caries pathogens Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces viscosus, Int J Pharm Sci Res., , 843-846 (2013) @No $ @ @ Lee S.S., Zhang W. and Li Y., The antimicrobial potential of 14 natural herbal dentrifices: Results of an in vitro diffusion method study, J Am Dent Asso.,135, 1133-1141 (2004) @No $ @ @ Sentila R., Gandimathi A., Karthika S., Suryalakshmi R. and Michael A., In-vitro evaluation and comparison of the anti-microbial potency of commercially available oral hygiene products against Streptococcus mutans, Indian J Med Sci.,65, 250-259 (2011) @No $ @ @ Bauer A.W., Kirby W.M.M., Sherris J.C. and Turck M., Antibiotic susceptibility testing by a standardized single disk method, Am J Clin Pathol., 45, 493-496 (1996) @No $ @ @ Marsh P.D., Are dental diseases examples of ecological catastrophes?, Microbiology, 149, 279-294 (2003) @No $ @ @ Sharma R., Sharma C.L. and Kapoor B., Antibacterial resistance: current problems and possible solutions, Indian J Med Sci.,59, 120-129 (2005) @No $ @ @ Tripathi K.D.

However, a consistent relationship between diabetes mellitus, dental caries and salivary pH is lacking. Therefore, the correlation between salivary pH and caries prevalence in non-diabetics and diabetics was evaluated.Fasting blood glucose level and salivary pH for each subject were measured and caries index was recorded as DMFT index. The results show that a decreased salivary pH and an increased incidence of dental caries in subjects with uncontrolled diabetes as compared to control group and those with controlled diabetes. Decreased salivary pH and increased dental caries rate was observed in subjects with controlled diabetes as compared to control group. Thus, diabetes mellitus may have a direct effect on salivary pH, reducing it from normal levels irrespective of diet. <#LINE#> @ @ Kumar V., Abbas A.K., Fausto N.

It is seen that the incidence of PCOS is increasing in adolescent age group. The stress level of this age group is also heightened due to  high competition, need for recognition and self esteem both from society and in person. Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS in adolescents are essential in ensuring adulthood health and restoring self-esteem. This paper is based on a 10 year long clinical experience regarding the role of mental stress on PCOS. As teenagers are the future of a nation PCOS should be dealt at an early stage and corrected. A sample of 50 cases of PCOS are selected and tried to establish the relation of mental stress in those cases with the help of SSS-AZ English version booklet of National Psychological Corporation. An attempt is made to explain the role of mental stress in PCOS with the help of General Adaptation Syndrome. The diagnosis of PCOS is done as per Rotterdam 2003 criteria which says that any of the two out of three of the following is needed for the diagnosis of PCOS: oligo- and/or anovulation, clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries [by ultrasound].This study is done to highlight the relevance of reducing mental stress in adolescent age group to avoid or reduce the incidence of systemic diseases with a sample study on PCOS.<#LINE#> @ @ Christensen S.B., Black M.H., Smith N., Martinez M.M., Jacobsen S.J., Porter A.H. and Koebnick C., Prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents., Fertil Steril. 2013 Aug, 100(2), 470-7. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2013.04.001 (2013) @No $ @ @ Ghazeeri G., Fakih A., Abbas H.A., Harajly S. and Awwad J., Anxiety, cognitive, and depressive assessment in adolescents with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a pilot study., JPediatrAdolesc Gynecol, 2013 Oct; 26(5):269-73. doi: 10.1016/j.jpag.2013.04.005.

Then their structural and optical properties were examined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Ultraviolet (UV) and Photoluminescence (PL) techniques. During this study period, an interesting cubic-hexagonal crystal nature was confirmed through powder XRD technique and also a spherical shaped surface morphology was found from TEM images whose size is approximately 10 nm. The UV results have shown an enhanced absorption when compared with uncapped ZnO:Fe QDs. Further, an interesting strong blue emission was observed in the glucose capped ZnO:Fe QDs which was maximum at 465 nm because of formation of small size particles and broad emission band was also observed from violet to red region. This enhanced emission nature is highly suitable for all types of bio-applications. The results of the present study show the glucose capped ZnO:Fe QDs induced a better antibacterial activity when compare other QDs. In future, these QDs can be used for cancer cell targeting application. <#LINE#> @ @ Klingshirn C., ZnO: From Basics towards Applications, Phys. Stat.

Study was aimed to explore and collect the adapted landraces of cassava available in Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu and to characterise the existing variability with particular reference to amylose for industrial applications. A total of 52 landraces were collected from various parts of Western Ghats and significant variations for morphological, root and root quality traits were observed. Analysis on quality parameters revealed that, amylose content ranged from 14.4% to 30.4% with an average of 22.0%. Landraces Adukku Muttan and Ullii chigappan showed low amylose content (14.4%) which is highly amenable for paper, textiles and plywood industries. Landraces with yellow pulp had high carotenoids can be used for culinary purpose by the local peoples. Cluster analysis grouped the landraces into five clusters and the number of accessions varied from 2 to 26. Knowledge on the variability in amylose content and phenotypic diversity for root traits increases the efficiency of the cassava breeding programmes by way of utilising them for industrial purpose and also helps in developing core collections which makes handling of germplasm easy for plant breeders. Diversity in amylose content may help in finding appropriate industrial utility and to formulate efficient quality improvement programme.  <#LINE#> @ @ Thro A.M., Taylor N., Raemakers C.J.J.M., Puonti-Kaerlas J., Schopke C., Visser R.G.F., Iglesias C., Sampaio M.J., Fauquet C., Roca W. and Potrykus I., Maintaining the cassava biotechnology network, Nature Biotechnol.,16,428-430 (1998) @No $ @ @ FAO., FAO statistics http://apps.fao.org: Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, Rome, Italy, (2010) @No $ @ @ Sudarmonowati E., Hartati N.S.

The present study was undertaken to identify the new activities from plant origin for their nematicidal activity to determine the egg hatchability and nematode larval mortality of root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita.  Many plants are known to have nematicidal properties which may be utilized as organic amendments or biopestcides. Many scientists have carried out the research on plant extracts for the control of root knot nematodes .The extract of Gmelina asiatica plant leaves at different concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ppm) were tested on root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita egg masses. The nematicidal activity of G.asiatica leaves, inhibition of egg hatchability and larval mortality were decreased with increase in all the concentrations of leaf extract. Larval mortality was increased gradually with increased period of exposure time and increasing concentrations of leaf extract. They reported a reduction in egg hatchability and an increase in nematode larval mortality. Hence, the present investigations on nematicidal potential of plant species G.asiatica against the root knot nematodes, M.incognita. <#LINE#> @ @ Sasser J.N., Economic importance of Meloidogyne in tropical countries.

Totally, 25 Streptomyces sps were isolated and identified from the soil samples collected at Nilgiris hills. All the isolates were subjected to hydrogen peroxide assay to identify fatty acid production. Crude fatty acid extracts of all the positive isolates were analyzed for inhibition of biofilm formed by Candida albicans. The extracts of five isolates AP1, AP8, AP9, AP11 and AP23 showed inhibition percentage of 80.56%, 93.25%, 79.53%, 85.39% and 73.29% at 50 µg/ml. Furthermore the -galactosidase activity of extracts indicated capability of inhibiting the production of enzymes and reducing the hyphal growth of C. albicans. This study suggests that the crude fatty acid extracts of Streptomyces sps may be useful in preventing biofilm formation by the pathogen. <#LINE#> @ @ (2001) @No $ @ @ 8.Nithya C., Aravindraja C. and Pandian S.K., Bacillus pumilus of Palk Bay origin inhibits quorum-sensing- mediated virulence factors in Gram-negative bacteria, Res Microbiol., 161, 293-304 (2010) @No $ @ @ 29.Kippert F.,A rapid permeabilization procedure for accurate quantitative determination of beta-galactosidase activity in yeast cells, FEMS Microbiol Lett., 128, 201-206(1995) @No $ @ @ 30.Clement M., Tremblay J., Lange M., Thibodeau J. and Belhumeur P., Whey derived free fatty acids suppress the germination of Candida albicans in vitro, FEMS Yeast Res., 7, 276-285 (2007) @No $ @ @ 31.Teixeira J.A. and Mota M., Determination of catalase activity and its inhibition by a simple manometric method, Biochem Edu., 20(3), 174–175 (1992) @No $ @ @ 32.Lichstein H.C. and Soule M.H., Studies of the effect of sodium azide on microbic growth and respiration II,, The action of sodiuim azide on bacterial catalase, Journal of Bacteriology., 47(3), 231–238 (1944) @No $ @ @ , 283-290 (2014) @No $ @ @ Res.

The pathogen affects different plant parts like leaf, stem and fruit.  Favorable environmental conditions cause severe loss to the crop. Leaf extract of 37 plants were tested against Xcmi; out of them, leaf extract of Ocimum sanctum L. gave promising results. Hence, leaf extracts of O. sanctum tested for its antibacterial activity against 25 strains of Xcmi collected from different parts of Konkan region of Maharashtra. The in vitro studies have been performed by using cup-plate method to examine the activity. Fresh leaf extracts of O. sanctum plants were screened against 25 strains of Xcmi. The maximum activity was recorded against Xcmi.21 (Mean activity zone–20.36 mm) followed by Xcmi.07 (Mean activity zone – 20.11 mm) and minimum against Xcmi.14 (Mean activity zone–16.27 mm) strain under investigation. The ultimate aim of the research work was to develop economically and technically viable field formulations for the farmers, which will be Bio-ecologically compatible for management of plant bacterial diseases. <#LINE#> @ @ Balandrin M.F., Klocke J.A., Wurtele E.S. and Bollinger W.H., Natural plant chemicals: Sources of industrial and medicinal materials, Science,228, 1154-1160 (1985) @No $ @ @ Hostettmann K. and Wolfender J., The search for Biological active secondary metabolites, Pesticides Science, 51, 471-482 (1997) @No $ @ @ Mishra P., Ethno-botanical screening of the members of the family Leguminoceae from Parasnath hills, Bihar, In: Proceedings of 82nd Indian Science Congress, Calcutta,(Abstr.)

It occurs in men above the age of 40. This cancer is common in Asia, parts of South America, and eastern and central Europe. And it accounts for 800,000 deaths worldwide per year. Prognosis is poor due to the late detection at its advanced stage. Gene expression analysis was done for Singapore and UK Gastric cancer datasets using GeneSpring. Differentially expressed Gastric cancer Stage 1 genes were identified by performing a t-test with a p-value cutoff of 0.005 and fold change  2.Only the differentially expressed genes that satisfied the criteria was enriched to find the functional insight of the stage 1 genes in Gastric cancer. The enriched genes were analyzed for their gene ontology using a Cytoscape plug-in Bingo. Molecular interactions among the stage 1 genes were done using a Cytoscape plug-in MiMI. hnRNPC gene showed a good interaction with its neighbouring genes. SNP regions in hnRNPC gene were identified and two of them were found to be located in the promoter region. hnRNPC gene interacts with Grb 2 gene in the progression of Gastric cancer. Majority of SNPs are located in the promoter regions for Gastric cancers from Singapore and USA, it can be suggested as one of the prime reasons for its up regulation in Gastric cancer. Thus hnRNPC be gene can be used as a potential marker in the early diagnosis of Gastric cancer in Homo sapiens. <#LINE#> @ @ Gao Y., Hu N., Han X.Y., Ding T. and Giffen C., Risk factors for esophagel and gastric cancers in Shanxi Province, China: A case-control study, Cancer Epidemiology,35, 91–99 (2011) @No $ @ @ Ferlay J., Shin H.R., Bray F., Forman D., Mathers C. and Parkin D.M., Cancer Incidence and Mortality Worldwide, Globocan,12,184-187 (20103.Gajalakshmi V., Swaminathan R. and Shanta V., An Independent Survey to Assess Completeness of Registration: Population Based Cancer Registry, Chennai, India, Asian Pacific Journal Cancer Prevention,2, 179-183 (2001) @No $ @ @ 4.Mathew A., Gangadhara P., Varghese C. and Nair M.K., Diet and Gastric Cancer: a case-control study in South India, European Journal of Cancer Prevention, , 89-97 (2000) @No $ @ @ 5.Gomes L.I., Waleska K., Adriane P., Fernando A., Gustavo H. and Reis L.F., Expression profile of malignant and non-malignant lesions of oesophagus and stomach: differential activity of functional modules related to inflammation and lipid metabolism, Cancer research,65, 1087-1231(2003) @No $ @ @ 6.Maere S., Heymans K. and Kuiper M., BiNGO: a Cytoscape plugin to assess overrepresentation of gene ontology categories in biological networks, Bioinformatics,21, 3448-3449 (2005) @No $ @ @ 7.Jing G., Alex S., Ade V., Glenn T., Terry E.W., Barbara R., Mirel H.V., Jagadish I. and David J., States Integrating and Annotating the Interactome using the MiMI plugin for Cytoscape, Bioinformatics,25, 137-138 (2009) @No $ @ @ 8.Drabovich A.P. and Krylov S.N., Identification of base pairs in single-nucleotide polymorphisms by MutS protein-mediated capillary electrophoresis, Analytical Chemistry,78, 2035-2038 (2006) @No $ @ @ 9.Goodman S.N., Toward Evidence-Based Medical Statistics. 1: The P Value Fallacy, Annals of Internal Medicine, 130, 995–1004 (1999) @No $ @ @ 10.Benjamini Y. and Hochberg Y.F., Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 57, 289–300 (1995) @No $ @ @ Yadav A., Jain D.K. and Kumar C., Preparation and characterization of microparticulate system of propranolol hydrochloride, Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics,,15-20 (2011) @No $ @ @ 2.Malik M.A., Upadhyay R., Mittal R.D., Zargar S.A., Modi D.R. and Mittal B., Role of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms and interactions with environmental factors in susceptibility to gastric cancer in Kashmir Valley, Gastrointestinal Cancer,40, 26–32 (2009) @No $ @ @ 3.Gonzalez C.A., Sala N. and Capella G., Genetic susceptibility and gastric cancer risk, International Journal of cancer, 100, 249-260 (2002) @No $ @ @ 4.Kumar C., Jain DK. and Yadav A., Preparation and characterization of microparticulate system of propranolol hydrochloride, Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, 2, 15-20 (2011) @No $ @ @ 5.Dey S., Stalin S., Gupta A., Saha D. and Kesh K., Matrix metalloproteinase3 gene promoter polymorphisms and their haplotypes are associated with gastric cancer risk in eastern Indian population, Molecular Carcinogenesis, 51, 42–53 (2011) @No $ @ @ 6.Moorchung N., Srivastava AN., Gupta NK., Achyut BR. and Mittal B., The Histopathology of Chronic gastritis, Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology,50, 18-24 (2007) @No $ @ @ 7.Moutri L. and Ali W., COX1 and COX2 Polymorphisms and Gastric Cancer Risk in a Polish Population, Anticancer Research,27, 43-48 (2007) @No $ @ @ 8.Kirk B.W., Feinsod M., Favis R., Kliman R. and Barany F., Single nucleotide polymorphism seeking long term association with complex disease, Nucleic Acids Research,30, 3295–3311 (2002) @No $ @ @ 9.Johannsson O., Loman N., Moller T., Kristofferson U., Borg A. and Olsson H., Incidence of malignant tumours in BRCA1 germline mutation carriers, European Journal of Cancer, 35, 1248-1257 (1999) @No $ @ @ 20.Matullo G., Palli D., Peluso M., Guarrera S., Carturan S., Celentano E., Krogh V., Munnia A., Tumino R., Polidoro S., Piazza A. and Vineis P., XRCC1, XPD gene polymorphisms, smoking and (32)P-DNA adducts in a sample of healthy subjects, Carcinogenesis,22, 1437–1445 (2001) @No $ @ @ 1.Liu Q. and Sommer S.S., Pyrophosphorolysis-activatable oligonucleotides may facilitate detection of rare alleles, mutation scanning and analysis of chromatin structures, Nucleic Acids Research,30, 598–604 (2009) @No $ @ @  @No $

Tomato is grown in all the states of India. Tomato production is sensitive to temperature. It is good source of vitamins C and A. Tomatoes suffer through number of diseases caused by fungi, Bacteria, viruses etc. Three bacterial diseases of tomato were recorded from Marathwada region of Maharashtra (India) viz. Bacterial spot (caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria), bacterial speck (caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato) and bacterial canker (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis). Symptoms of bacterial spot were recorded as small, brown, water soaked, circular spots surrounded with yellowish halo on leaves and as the disease advances green fruits also get affected. Bacterial speck shows symptoms like burning of leaf margins, stunted growth and in severe infection death of seedlings was also recorded. Bacterial canker disease chiefly affect the fruits to show water soaked spots with a white halo which later turn in dark brown, corky and cankerous. All these bacterial diseases of tomato were recorded from all the districts of Marathwada region.  <#LINE#> @ @ Rangaswami G. and Mahadevan A., Diseases of crop plants in India, Fourth edition, Prentice Hall of India pvt.Ltd., New Delhi (2005) @No $ @ @ Bost S., Foliar diseases of tomato, UT Extension, SP-277W, Available online on: https://utextension.tennessee. edu., (2013) @No $ @ @ Gleason M.L. and Edmunds B.A., Tomato diseases and disorders, ISU Extension publications http://www. extension.iastate.edu/store, (2006) @No $ @ @ Ivors K., Foliar fungicide spray guide for tomatoes in NC 2012, Available online http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/fletcher /programs/plantpath, (2012) @No $ @ @ Newman S. and Pottorff L., Recognizing tomato problem, Colorado State University Extension, Fact Sheet No. 2.949, www.ext.colostate.edu, (2013) @No $ @ @ Pearce M., Common Tomato Diseases in Georgia, The University of Georgia, Bulletin 1285, (2009) @No $ @ @ Sikora E.

In vitro culture technique has introduced a new dimension to plant multiplication for the production of well-organized, genetically unwavering clonal germplasm. The present investigation was to study the influence of meristem tip culture and the action of chemotherapy in the elimination of virus. The intention of this work is to determine the effect of various levels of chemical treatment on in vitro shoot multiplication and also assessing the elimination of virus. In this experiment three different varietiesof sugarcane were taken such as Co85004, Co91010, Co86032. These three varieties were tissue cultured using apical meristem as the explant in combination with antiviral agents of different concentrations such as 2.5mg, 5.0mg, 7.5mg, 10.0mg, 12.5mg, 15.0mg. At higher concentrations phytotoxicity was observed. About 95% virus elimination was attained with the addition of ribavirin at 10mg/l in MS medium along with meristem culture. In this experiment good response for shoot initiation was observed in variety Co 85004 compared to other varietiesstudied. The total number of days for culture establishment in Co 85004 was around 14 days. In all the three varieties the elongation was found to be more or less same in 28 – 29 days. In the case of multiplication, the number of days for shoot multiplication was only19 days in Co 86032 whereas in Co 85004 and Co 91010 it was 21 days. So, combination of antiviral chemotherapy and meristem tip culture was found to be more effective in sugarcane mosaic virus elimination. <#LINE#> @ @ Rassaby L., Girard J.C., Letourmy P., Chaume J., Irey M.S., Lockhart B.E.L., Kodja H. and Rott P., Impact of Sugarcane yellow leaf virus on sugarcane yield and juice quality inReunion Island, European Journal of Plant Pathology,109(5), 459-466 (2003) @No $ @ @ Wang P.J. and Hu C., Regeneration of virus-free plants through In vitro culture.

L-Glutaminase mainly catalyzes the hydrolysis of -amido bond of L-Glutamine. In this report, optimization of the culture medium for L-Glutaminase production using Streptomyces griseus was carried out. The optimization of L-Glutaminase production using Wheat bran as substrate was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of ten nutrients for their influence with Wheat bran on L-Glutaminase production is achieved using Plackett-Burman design. The basal medium contained Peptone 30 g/L, Ferrous sulphate 0.7 g/L, KHPO4 0.7 g/L, NaCl 40 g/L was selected based on their higher influence on L-Glutaminase production. After medium components optimization, the temperature, pH, time, composition of the wheat bran, and inoculum size was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The predicted optimum levels are as follows: temperature 30.12 0, pH 8.36, time 117.11 h, wheat bran 33.60 g/L and inoculum size 0.90 %. This medium components and parameters were projected theoretically to produce an L-Glutaminase activity of 1959.99 IU/ml. The used methodology was validated using this optimized media components and parameters; the L-Glutaminase activity 1943.5 IU/ml was obtained.<#LINE#> @ @ Brosnan J.T., Ewart H.S. and Squires S.A., Hormonal control of hepatic glutaminase, Adv Enzyme Regul, 35, 131–146 (1995) @No $ @ @ Carter P. and Welbourne T.G., Glutamate transport regulation of renal glutaminase flux in vivo, J Physiol, 273, 521–527(1997) @No $ @ @ Padma I and Singhal R.S., Production of glutaminase (E.C.3.5.1.2) @No $ @ @ from Zygosaccharomycesrouxii: statistical optimization using response surface methodology, Bio resource Technology, 99, 4300–4307 (2007) @No $ @ @ 4.Riberg B., Torgner I.A. and Kvamme E., The orientation of phosphate activated glutaminase in the inner mitochondrial membrane of synaptic and non-synaptic rat brain mitochondria, NeurochemInt, 27, 367–376 (1995) @No $ @ @ 5.Zhao J., Lopez A.L., Erichsen D., Herek S., Cotter R.L., Curthoys N.P. and Zheng J., Mitochondrial glutaminase enhances extracellular glutamate production in HIV-1-infected macrophages: Linkage to HIV-1 associated dementia, J Neurochem, 88, 169–180 (2004) @No $ @ @ 6.Roberts J., MacAllister T.W., Sethuraman N. and Freeman A.G., Genetically engineered glutaminase and its use in antiviral and anticancer therapy, US Patent, 6312939, (2001) @No $ @ @ 7.Schmid F.A. and Roberts J., Antineoplastic and toxic effects of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas glutaminase-asparaginases, Cancer Chemother Rep, 58, 829–840 (1974) @No $ @ @ 8.Mulchandani A. and Bassi A.S., Determination of glutamine and glutamic acid in mammalian cell cultures using tetrathiafulvalene modified enzyme electrodes, Biosensor Bioelectron, 11, 271–280 (1996) @No $ @ @ 9.Villarta R.L, Palleschi G., Suleiman A. and Guilbault G.G.

So they can form metal complexes and can remove metals from aqueous medium. The effect of initial metal ion concentration on the metal ion adsorption capacity was investigated for Ca2+ and Mg2+ metal ions from aqueous solution. The linear regression coefficient R was used to elucidate the best fitting isotherm model. Here from the linear regression coefficient it is found that Freundlich equation was best fit for both the metal ions and the 1/n value is approximately equal to 1 indicating linear adsorption leading to identical adsorption energies for all sites. The adsorption capacity of NR/PEO block copolymer increases with metal ion concentration and this trend is shown by calcium and magnesium. At 0.02M concentration magnesium shows highest adsorption capacity. <#LINE#> @ @ Ekebafe L.O., Ogbeifun D.E. and Okieimen F.E.,  African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology,  6(7),275 (2012) @No $ @ @ Kasgoz H., Kasgoz A., Sahin U., Temelli T.Y. and Bayat C., Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 45, 117 (2006) @No $ @ @ Ei-Hag Ali, A; Shawky, H.

Hypertension is mostly asymptomatic and if left untreated may progress to renal damage. In the present study, an attempt was made to assess the renal function among hypertensive postmenopausal women with and without renal insufficiency. Forty five postmenopausal women were selected and categorized into three groups - normotensive postmenopausal, hypertensive postmenopausal and hypertensive postmenopausal with renal insufficiency. Serum sodium, potassium, chloride, creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate were assessed in the selected groups. One way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test were performed using SPSS 16.0 statistical software. Sodium levels were significantly elevated in hypertensive postmenopausal women compared to those with renal insufficiency. Whereas potassium levels were significantly decreased in hypertensive postmenopausal women compared to normotensives. No significant difference was observed in chloride levels. Serum creatinine levels were significantly increased in hypertensive postmenopausal with renal insufficiency compared to normotensive and hypertensive postmenopausal women. A significant decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate was found in experimental groups compared to normotensive control. Elevated levels of creatinine and drop in estimated glomerular filtration rate reflected impaired renal function. Elevated sodium and decreased potassium levels in hypertensives might indicate the intake of high sodium and low potassium diet as contributing factor for the development of hypertension. <#LINE#> @ @ Lima R., Wofford M and Reckelhoff J.F., Hypertension in Postmenopausal Women, Curr Hypertens Rep., 14, 254–260 (2012) @No $ @ @ Engelgau M.M., El-saharty S., Kudesia P., Rajan V.,Rosenhouse S. and Okamoto K., Capitalizing on the demographic transition: tackling noncommunicable diseases in South Asia, World Bank Publications, Washington,U.S.A., 36-37 (2011) @No $ @ @ Ahhmed A.M and Muguruma M., A review of meat protein hydrolysates and hypertension, Meat Sci., 86, 110-118 (2010) @No $ @ @ Barton M and Meyer M.R., Postmenopausal hypertension mechanisms and therapy, Hypertension, 54, 11-18 (2009) @No $ @ @ Wooton I.D.P., Microanalysis in Medical Biochemistry, Fourth edition, J and A Churchill, London., 71-74 (1964) @No $ @ @ Van Slyke D.D. and Hiller A., Application of Sendroy's iodometric chloride titration to protein containing fluids, J.

Nutrient broth medium, King’s B medium, King’s B+ yeast extract medium and glucose peptone salt medium are used to maximize the production of exotoxin and check the anti-larvicidal activity using liquid formulation of the exoproteins which will be used for the control of dengue vector and there by eradication of the disease. The result observed that the net mortality for King’s B medium at protein concentration of 40µg and 80g/ ml for 48hrs supernatant is 100% and also the 24 hrs supernatant is active against Aedes aegypti at low concentration of protein(20µg/ml), while the 24hrs supernatant from glucose peptone salt medium shows 100% mortality at 80 g/ ml and Kings B yeast extract medium shows 100% mortality for 24hrs supernatant at protein concentration of 80µg/ml and at 40µg/ml and 80µg/ml for 48 hrs supernatant. This result shows that Kings B medium is very effective for the production of exotoxin against Aedes aegypti, since it shows their larvicidal activity at low concentration of protein. <#LINE#> @ @ Kovendan K., Murugan K. and Vincent S., Evaluation of larvicidal activity of Acalypha alnifolia Klein ex Willd.

The hydrophilic PEO enables these NR-b-PEO  BCs  to swell in water and in aqueous cationic dyes, viz., malachite green (MG), crystal violet (CV), safranineT (ST), methylene blue (MB) and bromocresol green (BCG). The diffusion and permeation coefficients of BCs increases with the PEO content. The swelling studies also point to the fact that the general order of interaction of the dyes with the BCs is MG ? CV ? ST ? MB ? BCG. The diffusional exponent value is Fickian in water and in dye solution for BC-1 and for the rest of the BCs it is of the anomalous type, with a bias towards the Fickian type. Hence it is inferred that the polymer relaxation rate is greater than the solvent diffusion rate in BC-1 during swelling whereas in the others, rate of polymer chain relaxation and the solvent diffusion rate are about the same order of magnitude. <#LINE#> @ @ Sanghi R., Bhatttacharya B. and Singh V., Cassia angustifolia seed gum as an effective natural coagulant for decolourisation of dye solutions, Green Chem.,4, 252–254 (2002) @No $ @ @ Namasivayam C., Arasi D.J.S.E.

Efforts are taken to prevent the iron industry effluent pollution in India, but it is not successful due to so many factors.  Hence an attempt has been taken to solve the impact of Iron industry pollution by using non conventional energy sources like solar energy. Black body Kadappa stone tank are utilized for evaporation of the iron industry effluent to zero level discharge of the effluent. Hence it is very useful for the successful effort to ensure zero level discharge.  The utilization of overall depth of the primary black kadappa tank is around 9cm to 10cm just like evaporation of sea water on land for the preparation of the salt.  By using solar evaporation, the chemicals and salts can be evaporated and recycled. <#LINE#> @ @ Linsley R.K. and J. B. Franzini, et al. Water-Resources Engineering, McGraw-Hill Book Co.

The earthworms, being the significant inhabitants of soil, bio-accumulate the heavy metals, detoxify them and improve the quality of soil. The gut micro flora of earthworms has been known to perform important roles like de-nitrification (in nitrogen fixation) and production of degradative enzymes (for decomposition of organic matter). Endogeic earthworms are often exposed to various kinds of stress which in turn could have a profound effect on the micro flora of its gut. Zinc is one of the largest heavy metal pollutants of the soil. In this study, we investigated the effect of zinc stress on the microbial communities of the gut of endogeic earthworms –Pontoscolex corethrurus. The earthworms were subjected to zinc stress at increasing concentrations for a period of 15 days. Zinc had a deleterious effect on growth and development of the earthworms. It was observed that two bacterial species Aeromonas hydrophila and Bacillus cereus were selectively accumulated in the gut of earthworms that were exposed to metal stress when compared to the control earthworms. This study highlights the importance of association between earthworm and microorganisms with respect to bioremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals. <#LINE#> @ @ http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/elements/zn.htm#ixzz2pFELZB4i  (2014) @No $ @ @ Nies D.H., Microbial heavy-metal resistance, Appl.

Ahmednagar, MS, INDIA<#LINE#>30/11/2013<#LINE#>9/2/2014<#LINE#>Among the factors polluting the soil and groundwater, sugar mills certainly have a larger share in form of their discharges of the large account of wastewater as effluent. Increasing use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in raising the sugarcane production has also resulted in the degradation of soil and groundwater quality. Taking this view into amount, the present study aimed at conducting a detailed investigation of the impact of sugar mill effluent on the ground water quality in the vicinity of sugar mills in Sangamner. Fifteen groundwater samples were analysed for various parameters like pH, EC, TDS, Na, K, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl, HCO, SO2-, PO3-, NO and total hardness during the period of operation of sugar mill. The results revealed that there was significant variation in some parameters. The high values of Ca, Na, chloride, sulphates, nitrates and hardness in the samples which are located downstream suggest that sugar mill effluent is the source of soil and groundwater pollution. According to permissible limit suggested by Indian standard – drinking water specification -1991. During this study, it was found that the samples in flowing to the downward direction land located in the close proximity of stream of effluent are not suitable for either drinking or irrigation purposes. The investigation suggests that water quality management, an important issue for the sustenance of human civilization must become a major priority. <#LINE#> @ @ Siddiqui W.A. and Waseem M., A comparative study of sugar mill treated and untreated effluent – A case study, Oriental Journal of Chemistry,28(4), 1899-1904 (2012) @No $ @ @ Pondhe G.M., Patil S.F. and Pawar N.J., Groundwater pollution due to sugar mill effluent at Sonai, Maharashtra, India, Environmental Geology, 34(2), 151-158 (1958) @No $ @ @ Bharati P.K., Groundwater Pollution, Biotech Books, New Delhi (2012) @No $ @ @ Sabade B.R., Industrial developments of Maharashtra, 22ndAnnual Convention IWWA, 17-27 (1990) @No $ @ @ Barugh, A.K., Sharama R.N. and Borab G.C., Impact of sugar mill and distillery effluent on water quality of river Galabil, Assam, Indian Journal of Environmental Health,35, 288-293 (1993) @No $ @ @ Kumar V. and Ghopra A.K., Influence of sugar mill effluent of physico – chemical characteristics of soil at Haridwar, Journal of Applied and Natural Science, 2(2), 269-279 (2010) @No $ @ @ Dhangar S.D. and Lohar P.S., Effect of sugar factory effluent on physico – chemical properties and cellulose activity of soil – A case study, International multidisciplinary Research journal, 3(1), 18-22 (2013) @No $ @ @ Samuel S. and Muthukkaruppan S.M., Physico-chemical analysis of sugar mill effluent, contaminated soil and its effect on seed Germination of Paddy, International journal of pharmaceutical and biological archives, 2(5), 146-1472 (2011) @No $ @ @ Mahar M.T., Khuhawar M.Y., Baloch M.A. and Jahangir T.M., Effect of spent wash of ethanol industry on groundwater: A case study of Rahimyar Khan district, Pakistan, J. of Environmental Science and Water Resources1(4), 85-94 (2012) @No $ @ @ Kumar P., Environmental effect of industrial effluent of groundwater, Oriental Journal of Chemistry,29(3), 1243-1249 (2013) @No $ @ @ Kadam S.A., Dahiwalkar S.D., Gorantiwar S.D., and Gadage S.B., Characteristic of Industrial Effluents and their possible impact on Groundwater quality, Int.

It is produced naturally by several plants especially the roots of the Japanese Knotweed when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. In this study we have confirmed that resveratrol has activity against Proteus vulgaris, an important pathogen infecting the urinary tract by investigating its effect on swarming and some virulence factor expression(haemolysin and urease). Swarming inhibition was limited on Luria Bertani agar with and without resveratrol and then bacteria was harvested to assay cell length and the producing of haemolysin and urease. Resveratrol significantly inhibited swarming and virulence factor expression but its effect on growth rate was not significant. <#LINE#> @ @ Struble K.,Proteus Infections: Overview, e Medicine (2009) @No $ @ @ Burall L.S., Harro J.M., Li X., Lockatell C.V., Himps S.D., Hebe J.R., Johnson D.E. and H.L., Mobley.

The central nervous system which controls the entire motor unit, suffers degeneration that leads to many complications, of which Diabetes Mellitus disease lies most widespread in India. Present-day medicine such as insulin injection and vildagliptin (Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor) treatment are associated with serious neuromuscular side effects and nervous impairment. Within this context, aim of our research was to evaluate, by analysing the myocardial dysfunction complexity, the adverse effects induced by vildagliptin in combination with other antidiabetic treatment. Blood glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin, serum insulin, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, myocardial enzymes such as LDH, CK-MB, AST and ECG signals were measured before and after the insulin and vildagliptin treatment in patients. All the above mentioned parameters were altered significantly after the treatment with insulin and vildagliptin. This study may provide evidence to the medical society about the cardiac dysfunction complexity caused by autonomic failure of hypoglycemic actions upon combination therapy of insulin with vildagliptin in diabetes mellitus. <#LINE#> @ @ Schweizer A., Dejager S., Foley J.E. and Kothny W., Assessing the general safety and tolerability of vildagliptin: value of pooled analyses from a large safety database versus evaluation of individual studies, Vasc Health Risk Manag.,7, 49–572011)2.Brierley E.J., Broughton D.L., James O.F., Alberti K.G., Reduced awareness of hypoglycaemia in the elderly despite an intact counter-regulatory response, QJM, 88, 439–441995)3.Gawlowski T., Stratmann B., Stork I., Engelbrecht B., Brodehl A., Niehaus K., Körfer R., Tschoepe D. and Milting H., Heat shock protein 27 modification is increased in the human diabetic failing heart, Horm Metab Res., 41, 594–5992009)4.Burgess M.L., McCrea J.C. and Hedrick H.L., Age-associated changes in cardiac matrix and integrins,Mech Ageing Dev.,122, 1739–17562001)5.Mariappan N., Elks C.M., Sriramula S., Guggilam A., Liu Z., Borkhsenious O. and Francis J.

Cholera toxin is an protein complex made up of AB5 subunits secreted by the pathogenic organism Vibrio cholerae. In present days these organism shows resistance towards antibiotics. In our present study, Cholera toxin 3D protein structure was optimized and minimized using maestro v9.2. Twelve synthetic Neu5Ac2en analogues were modeled using ACD/ChemSketch and optimized in LigPrep which is a tool in Schrödinger suite. Active site of cholera toxin protein was analyzed using PDBsum database. Molecular docking of Neu5Ac2en analogues into the active site of cholera toxin protein were carried out using Glide v5.7. All the 12 analogues of Neu5Ac2en show good binding affinity towards the cholera toxin with least docking (XPG) energy score and also these analogues have good pharmacological properties. Neu5Ac2en analogues blocks the binding site residues of cholera toxin directly through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. <#LINE#> @ @ Schauer R., Achievements and challenges of sialic acid research, Glycoconj.J., 17, 485–499 (2000) @No $ @ @ Varki A.,Biological roles of oligosaccharides: all of the theories are correct, Glycobiology.,3, 97–130 (1993) @No $ @ @ Vimr E.

CCD refers to an array of closely spaced MOS capacitors formed on a continuous oxide layer grown on a semi conductor substrate. The operation of a CCD is based on, the photo generation of charges within the pixels, charge collection, charge transfer and integration, when photons incident on its surface. Charge transfer efficiency (CTE) and bulk dark current are important parameters that determine the performance of a CCD. Both of them are expected to be affected by temperature variation. Hence an optimum temperature for the desired performance is to be determined. The resolution of CCD for 5.9 KeV Mn K and 6.4 KeV  Mn K lines were studied over a temperature range of -15 to -30 degree Celsius. The clock frequency was varied over a frequency range of 90-130 KHz at clock bias of 7 .0 volts.  It is found that, the resolution of the device increases considerably as the temperature is decreased in the above temperature range. Under the given condition the optimum temperature range is found to be -20 to -30 at desired clock frequency of 100 KHz. <#LINE#> @ @ V.

Fitting their surface brightness profile with Sérsic bulge and exponential disk, we find that majority of the sample galaxies, selected based on the detection of ionized gas, contains significant amounts of disk components. We find that 74% of our early-type galaxies are having a bulge to total luminosity ratio in K band. B/T, less than 0.5 while only 26% of the early-type galaxies are actually bulge dominant. The average value of bulge to total luminosity ratio (B/T) is 0.425 ± 0.145. The scale length of disk correlates well with its central surface brightness. We also find that the nature of disks in early-type galaxies resembles that observed in field spirals, and actually is with much lesser scatter, suggesting a much more coherent scenario for formation of disks in different types of galaxies.<#LINE#> @ @ Canalizo G. and Bennert N., Spectacular shells in the host galaxy of the QSO MC2 1635+11, ApJ., 669, 801-809 2007) 2.Sikkema G., Carter D. and Peletier R.

Participants of the study were collectively 50 male volleyball and basketball players who have keenly participated in Panjab University inter collegiate tournament. The data were furnished through standing broad jump and vertical jump test. The data was statistically analyzed by using ‘t’ test. For testing the significance in explosive strength, the level of significance chosen was 0.05. The comparisons of mean scores on explosive strength by standing broad jump were not significant. But in case of explosive strength while quantified by vertical jump test, it was found to be significant as evidenced by ‘t’  with degrees of freedom at 0.05 probability level of significance. The result of the present study shows that explosive strength through vertical jump of the volleyball players was superior to those of the basketball players. <#LINE#> @ @ Singh Hardayal, Science of Sports Training D.V.S Publications, New Delhi: 86-101 (1991) @No $ @ @ R.G.

One hundred five highly skilled ball game players (matched in anthropometric, cardiovascular and performance status) and similarly skilled eighty-six other amateur-competitive swimmers were selected by three expert sport instructors as participant. They were assessed with physiological parameters (viz. autonomic measures of arousal) and corresponding psychological (viz. Cognitive flexibility and anxiety) and psychomotor attributes (viz. reaction ability) in relation to performance excellence. Projective analyses of cognitive-emotional make up of the players were done to identify their inner cognitive core related to characteristic resilience; constriction and rigidity; apprehensiveness etc. Perceived apprehension of losing was found substantiated by the psychobiological concomitant autonomic indices of habituation paradigm skin conductance activity related to performance outcomes. Comprehensive understanding of the obscure subjective feelings of disruptive emotionality underlying performance hindrances in sport was attempted.

Present study was done to identify the extent of direct and moderating contribution of asymmetry in bilateral motor and movement coordination on the cognitive-emotional competence required for performance excellence in cricket. Twenty National-selection group cricketers of Bangladesh and twenty National-development-squad cricketers of Malaysia were categorized into high and low performers (Gr. A and B - 10 high and low level cricketers from Bangladesh; and, their counterparts from Malaysia - Gr. A-1 and Gr. B-). They were assessed with autonomic measures (orienting activity) and with bilaterally recorded visual-motor coordination ability. Significant differences in skin conductance measures were obtained both in Gr. B and in Gr. B-1 players, which were not evident in high performers. Furthermore, Gr. B players were evident with inhibited visual motor co-ordination in left lateral side, but no such difference was observed in either of the high performer groups (i.e., Gr. A and Gr. A-1 players). Asymmetry in motor co-ordination was evident as predictor of low performance. <#LINE#> @ @ Williams A.M., Davids K. and Williams J.G., Visual Perception and Action in Sport, London: Taylor and Francis (1999) @No $ @ @ Saha S., Saha Srilekha andAsyraf B.R., Corroborative psychobiological indices explaining young adolescent emotionality, Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences.,91, 614 -623 (2013a) @No $ @ @ Saha S., Saha Srilekh,; Chowdhury D., Fahim N.A. and Salah Uddin M., In search of predictors for reaction ability related to high performance in Cricket.

Wetland plays a significant role in regional ecosystem, such as the regulation of climate, cleansing of environment and balancing of regional water. The wetland provides critical habitat for a large number of flora and fauna. In India, the total area under wetlands was estimated to be 11.69 m ha. This accounts for 3.66 per cent of geographic area of the country. In Assam, total wetland area estimated is 764372 ha that is around 9.74 per cent of the geographic area. Wetlands act as important repositories of aquatic biodiversity. The present paper is an attempt to investigate the human activities including agricultural practices and the influence of solid waste causing a significant change in the land use,landcover and subsequent loss of wetlands. The present paper will discuss human interference and its impact on some selected wetlands of Golaghat district of Assam.

<#LINE#>Routing Algorithms in Networks<#LINE#>J.@Sumitha<#LINE#>1-3<#LINE#>1.ISCA-ISC-2013-5CITS-05.pdf<#LINE#> Dept. of Computer Science, St. Paul’s College of Arts and Science for Women, Coimbatore, INDIA<#LINE#>25/12/2013<#LINE#>2nd/1/2014<#LINE#>Network is defined as a group of two or more computer systems which are linked with each other. It allows computers to exchange data from each other along the data connections. Routing is a process of selecting path in a network along which the packets are sending over the network traffic. There are many routing algorithms which are used to determine the path, load, and distance over the network traffic. In this paper, a routing algorithm is taken as a tool for making an analysis over the research work done in network algorithms. Routing algorithms are classified as adoptive routing algorithms and non adoptive routing algorithms. An adoptive routing algorithm is an algorithm in which the network path can changes their routing ways s in accordance to the changes taken place in the network topology and in the traffic. It is having a dynamic routing table in which it sends data over the network. Distance vector routing algorithm, link state routing algorithm, distributed routing algorithms are comes under the category of adoptive routing algorithms. The non adoptive routing algorithms are the algorithms in which it follows a static routing table for the data to allow transmission over the network. This algorithm does not adjust with the current traffic and the network topology. Shortest path routing, flooding algorithms are comes under the category of non adoptive routing algorithms. In this paper, an analysis is made over the routing algorithms such as between the adoptive routing algorithms and the non adoptive routing algorithms. The results are favored to the adoptive routing algorithms in which the researchers can easily find the best routing path in a traffic over the network since it adjusts to network when compared with non adoptive routing algorithms. The researchers opt this because of the dynamic routing table. The results of the efficiency of the adoptive routing algorithms are better when compared to the non adoptive routing algorithms. The results concluded in this paper that the adoptive routing algorithms give best routing path when compared to the non adoptive routing algorithms in the networks. <#LINE#> @ @ Nilesh P.

The implementation of an adaptive noise cancellation filter process is done here. The filter is designed using the Recursive least square (RLS) algorithm due to its computational simplicity, robust behavior when implemented in finite-precision hardware and well understood convergence behavior. The correctness and response of the adaptive noise cancellation filter can be checked by the RLS algorithm using the Matlab/ Simulink tool. To implement this algorithm the Simulink model is used as a reference using the Xilinx Tool Box. To implement the adaptive filter on Xilinx, the System Generator (“SysGen”) tool in the Xilinx block set is used to generate the bit file which can be downloaded onto the FPGA through hardware co-simulation. This project presents the adaptive noise cancellation filter using RLS algorithm suitable for noise cancellation and the results are verified by plotting the output using MATLAB. <#LINE#> @ @ M.A. Gandhi, C.

The researchers have given priority to understanding of the determinants of fertility through statistical methodologies. The stochastic models play an important role in estimation and interpretation of the fertility parameters. In this paper, stochastic model on successive live births has been derived for the estimation of fecundability based on assumptions of human reproductive process, indirectly incorporating socio, bio-demographic factors, taboos and use of contraceptive practices. In this model to describe the variation in the length of ith order successive live births for female giving their (i+1)th birth in T years of married life after ith birth with the realistic assumption that all the females not exposed to the risk of conception immediately after post-partum amenorrhea (PPA) termination due to some factors or contraceptive practices. In this derived model, fecundability () has been considered to be constant over the study period. The duration of time from the point of termination of PPA to the state of exposure has been taken as random variable which follows exponential distribution. The maximum likelihood estimation technique has been used for the estimation of parameter () through derived model.  <#LINE#> @ @ Freedman R., Expected family size and family size value in West Germany, Population Studies, 13, 136 (1959) @No $ @ @ Lenski G., The religious factor, Anchor Books, Doubleday, New York, USA (1963) @No $ @ @ Goldberg D., Some observations on recent changes in American fertility based on sample survey data, Eugenics Quarterly, 14(4), 255 (1967) @No $ @ @ Gini C., Premieres researches sur la fecundabilite de la femme, proceedings of the International Mathematics Congress, Toronto, 889-892 (1924) @No $ @ @ Sheps M.C., pregnancy wastage as a factor in the analysis of fertility data, Demography,1, 111-118 (1964) @No $ @ @ Singh S.N., Some probability distributions utilized in human fertility, Seminar volume in statistics, BHU, Varanasi, India, 74 (1966) @No $ @ @ Bhattacharya B.N., Pandey C.M. and Singh K.K., Model for closed birth interval and some social factors, Janasankhya, 6(1), 57 (1988) @No $ @ @ Singh U., Fertility analysis through birth interval models, unpublished Ph.D. Thesis, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India (1989) @No $ @ @ Singh A.S., Some analytical models for human fertility and their applications, unpublished Ph.D. Thesis, Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, Varanasi, India (1992) @No $ @ @ Mturi A.J., The determinants of birth intervals among non contrcepting Tanzanin women, African Population Studies,12(2),(1997) @No $ @ @ Rama Rao S., John T. and Ian A., Correlates of inter birth intervals: Implications of optional birth spacing strategies in Mozambique, Population Council, 1-17 (2006) @No $ @ @ Singh S.N., Singh S.N. and Narendra R.

It is found that isomeric cross-section ratio depends on the spins of ground and isomeric states of residual nucleus as well as the incident energy. The isomeric cross-section ratio increases slowly for the cases where larger angular momentum (J) is carried away by the emitted particle and increases sharply when J is smaller.<#LINE#> @ @ S.M.

The area under blackgram is 2.60 lakh hectares, production of 0.99 lakh tonnes. More than half of the Indian population is vegetarian and legumes play a very important role in human diet as vegetable protein which is an essential supplement to cereal based diet. Self sufficiency in the production of cereals could be achieved through green revolution, but not in pulses. Because of the need for nitrogen and its ecologically safe utilization in the expansion of crop production area, pulses play a vital role in the agriculture. Increase of pulse crop production is need of the hour in developing countries (particularly in Indian countries) to feed the human population. The poor performance of pulses may be attributed to several factors, of which preservation of seed is of great importance. Invariably the seeds have to be stored through the monsoon for the next sowing during which period the rise in the ambient relative humidity coupled with the prevailing high temperature can accelerate the ageing process of the seed, leads to deterioration, resulting in loss of vigour and viability. To overcome this deterioration problem, different easy and eco friendly invigouration treatments can be successfully employed to prolong the shelf life of unsold stock and highly useful for long term storage. Blackgram seeds of different vigour status of seeds could be invigourated (enriched) using eco friendly treatments like moist sand conditioning with 5% water holding capacity and 48h of duration, 24h of moisture equilibrium and 1h soaking and drying recorded an improvement in seed quality parameters viz., seed germination percentage, seedling length, dry matter production and maintained vigour and viability of seeds. <#LINE#> @ @ Basu R.N., An appraisal of research on wet and dry physiological treatments and their applicability with special reference to tropical and subtropical countries,SeedSci.

<#LINE#>Sorgoleone from Sorghum bicolor as a Potent Bioherbicide<#LINE#>P.1@AmaliJesudas,@JayasuryaKingsleyS.2,S.3@Ignacimuthu<#LINE#>32-36<#LINE#>7.ISCA-ISC-2013-1AFS-73.pdf<#LINE#><#LINE#>19/10/2013<#LINE#>9/1/2014<#LINE#>Sorgoleone is an allelopathic chemical released from the root exudates of the dryland cereal crop, Sorghum bicolor. It is predominately concentrated in the living root hairs of sorghum. The root hairs of juvenile plants produce higher content of sorgoleone. Its ability to suppress and inhibit the growth of weeds without affecting the crop species offers a promising platform to mark its use as a potential bioherbicide. Weeds with broadleaf and grass weeds were reported to be susceptible to the herbicidal activity of sorgoleone. The pre-emergence and post-emergence applications of sorgoleone  strongly inhibited the growth of different weeds in both greenhouse and field conditions. Sorgoleone is a hydrophobic molecule that persists in the soil for a longer duration, thereby adding to its sustainable herbicidal activity. Besides, its allelopathic potential enables its use in crop rotation to protect the soils vulnerable to support the growth of weeds. The mechanisms of its phytotoxic activity focus on the inhibition of photosynthetic apparatus in lower plants by interfering with the uptake of solutes and water molecules. Further it is also a potent inhibitor of electron transport in chloroplast and mitochondria. The effectiveness of the herbicidal activity of sorgoleone is comparable to that of the synthetic herbicides in commercial use. <#LINE#> @ @ Soltys D., Krasuska U., Bogatek R. and Gniazdowska A., Allelochemicals as Bioherbicides-Present and Perspectives, INTECH, (http://creativecommons.org /licenses/by/3.0) (2013) @No $ @ @ Bertin C., Yang X. and Weston L.A., The role of root exudates and allelochemicals in the rhizosphere.

Internet connectivity is essential to enable services in telecenters. Among different wired and wireless connectivity options, selection of suitable technology for rural deployment is a must. In this paper, we limited our comparision to different wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, Wimax, CDMA450 and VSAT technologies, for deployment at a telecenter, with a motive to reach social goals such as e-education, telemedicine, e-livelihood, virtual agriculture etc. Comparision of wireless technologies is done using multicriterion ‘decision making analysis tool’ AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) to obtain a technology that better suits rural settings.

The Arab countries and some other affluent countries have the credit of successfully running such large scale plants without minding for the cost factor involved in such projects. Here the polluted effluent is treated using R.O technology in order to remove the pollutants. It is a pressure driven membrane desalination process. The process is also known as hyper filtration. It is heartening to note that this process has undergone the most rapid development of any desalination technique. The fluids of different concentrations in a tank are separated by a membrane; the dilute solution will flow through the membrane into the concentrated solution. It is called osmosis. To affect a reverse process of osmosis, a pressure is applied in excess of the osmotic pressure to the concentrated solution. Now the flow is reversed from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution. It is “reverse osmosis”. It is always remembered that, whether it is osmosis or reverse osmosis only the flow of water take place from one side to the other side.  It is because the semi permeable membrane can allow only smaller molecules like that of water to pass through it. The basic types of membranes in use are. i. Cellulose acetate, ii. Polyamide, iii. Thin Film Composite Membranes. Reverse osmosis has been successfully applied on a large scale for the treatment of effluent and the polluted water. In the present study the dyeing effluent are treated using RO plant and treatment can be recommended to all dyeing. The same reverse osmosis method can also be applied to other industry effluent. <#LINE#> @ @ Robinson T., Mcmullan G., Marchant R.  and Nigam P., Remediation of Dyes In Textile Effluent: A Critical Review On Current Treatment Technologies With A Proposed Alternative, Colorage,44, 247-255 (1997) @No $ @ @ Ranganathan K., Karunagaran K., Sharma D.C., Recycling Of Wastewaters of Textile Dyeing Industries Using Advanced Treatment Technology and Cost Analysis—Case Studies, Resources, Conservation And Recycling, 50, 306–318 (2007) @No $ @ @ Ramesh Babu B., Parande A.K., Raghu S. and Prem Kumar T., Textile Technology- Cotton Textile Processing: Waste Generation And Effluent Treatment, The Journal of Cotton Science,11, 141–153 (2007) @No $ @ @ Ghayeni S.B., Beatson P.J., Schneider R.P.

The very language of advertisements triggers curiosity and surprise. Innumerous sophisticated and cotemporary printed and visual media emphasizes the role of language in the advertisements. Compared to a few decades back, the media of this century depends more on linguists than the story tellers. The persuasive power of advertising language is very much experienced today. How these advertisements affect the human mind is a quite interesting enquiry. However this has been done from different angles by anthropologist, psychologists and sociologists, no approach is complete with out a linguistic analysis. The basic requirement of advertisement is communication. Discourse and pragmatic approach, one of the spontaneous outcomes of the traditional language studie is made use in this analysis. Persuasiveness of advertising language is explored at three levels; 1) Cohesion and coherence, 2) Speech acts and 3) Ideology.  A few advertisements published in Indian print media are selected for the analysis. <#LINE#> @ @ Coulthard, Malcolm.

Our sample includes 22 bright X-ray sources (Lx 1038 erg/sec) in NGC 1399, of which two are ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). Using the SPS code of Bruzual and Charlot 2003 (BC03) and magnitudes in four Hubble space telescope (HST) filters, we estimate the possible ages and masses of these sources. We find that their X-ray luminosities are anti-correlated with the derived stellar masses excepting the two ULXs, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient being -0.62 with a significance greater than 99%. As the optical counterparts are definitely multiple sources (most likely globular clusters), the strong trend exhibited by X-ray sources suggests the possibility of existence of multiple sources for the production of X-rays as well. Further, SPS also shows that the brighter X-ray sources are in general older. This analysis also suggests that the energy production mechanism in ULXs may be different from other non- ULX sources in our sample, as they are not following the correlation.<#LINE#> @ @ Drinkwater M.J., Gregg M.D., Colless M., Substructure and Dynamics of the Fornax Cluster, ApJ., 548), L139-L142 ( 2001) @No $ @ @ Richtler T., Dirsch B., Gebhardt K., Geisler D., Hilker M., Alonso M.V., Forte J.C., Grebel E.K., Infante L., Larsen S., Minniti D. and Rejkuba M., The Globular Cluster System of NGC 1399.II.

From the X-ray spectral analysis, we construct a flux limited sample of 371 bright (LX = 0.24X1039 – 0.12X1041 ergs/s ) X-ray point sources. Morphological analysis of these galaxies (in K band) was conducted using the code GALFIT assuming a Sérsic bulge and an exponential disk for their surface brightness profiles. The extracted structural parameters show presence of strong disk component in all these galaxies with Bulge-to-Total K band light ratio, B/T  0.5, even though they are classified as early type galaxies in the RC3 catalog. The average Sérsic index, n shown by the sample is 1.44 ± 0.33, suggesting the existence of pseudo bulges in these systems. Further, we find that the maximum luminosity of X-ray point source is strongly correlated with Sérsic index, suggesting that the existence of X-ray point sources has strong influence from the nature of hosting bulges. <#LINE#> @ @ Oppenheimer B.D., Feedback and recycled wind accretion: assembling the z = 0 galaxy mass function, MNRAS, 406, 2325 (2010) @No $ @ @ Tang S., et al.

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a result of increased oxidative stress, resulting from electron leakage in the biochemical reactions that occur in mitochondria, and leading to inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production from endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Dysfunction of eNOS leads to development of multiple forms of cancers. An increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causes mtDNA damage contributing to ED and accelerated ageing. This review explores an insight into mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer. <#LINE#> @ @ Hanahan D. and Weinberg R.A., Hallmarks of cancer, The next generation, Cell., 144(5), 646-674 (2011) @No $ @ @ Shapovalov Y., Hoffman D., Zuch D., deMesy Bentley K.L. and Eliseev R.A., Mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer cells due to aberrant mitochondrial replication, J.

It belongs to the metalloid group of elements and known as a major contaminant in the environment. The source of occurrence of arsenic in the groundwater is natural as well as anthropogenic. The new EPA standard is 0.01 ppm on the recommendation of National Academy of Science. The first major case of arsenicosis was reported from Argentina in 1920’s and afterward it was reported from India in 1983 and soon it becomes a serious calamity in Bangladesh. Hitherto, more than 137 million people are suffering from arsenicosis. Arsenic is a protoplastic poison due to its effect on sulphydryl group of cells interfering with cell enzymes, cell respiration and mitosis. This is very important issue but much less discussed. The present study was conducted to review the studies conducted on arsenic and its mitigation. From a comprehensive literature review it was found that arsenicosis is a slow poison which manifest itself over a period of 5-20 years. This short review highlights and provides an overview of arsenic, its impact on health and available mitigation techniques. Conclusions have been drawn from the literature reviewed, and suggestions for future research are proposed. <#LINE#> @ @ Emsley J., Oxford: Oxford University Press, 43, 513-529 (2001) @No $ @ @ IARC, Some drinking water disinfectants and contaminants, including arsenic.

<#LINE#>Development of Nano structure Plasmon Gold by Green Synthesis for Fabrication of Bio/Chemical Sensor<#LINE#>Enakshi@Das<#LINE#>14-19<#LINE#>3.ISCA-ISC-2013-11MatS-07.pdf<#LINE#> Dept. of Physics, Saveetha Engineering College, Chennai, INDIA<#LINE#>1/12/2013<#LINE#>7/2/2014<#LINE#>More recently, metallic nanostructure particles have been fruitfully employed in chemical and bio sensors. Recent technological breakthrough in the fabrication of gold and silver nano particles has developed nano Plasmon.Usefulness of biomaterials and metal catalyst in many reactions is an urgent need of the society to fulfil our requirements. As per the environmental issue it is our responsibility to avoid hazardous effect of metal. So choice of biocompatible and micro- to nano-gram scale catalyst instead of toxic and gram scale is critical. Plasmon material suitable for the fabrication of low cost biosensors and chemical sensors based on localized surface Plasmon resonance (LSPR), can be fabricated by a simple methodology based on producing thin film of Au on commercially available transparent surfaces. This paper presents critical review of green Synthesis of Gold nano particle used in fabrication of bio and chemical sensors. Synthesis of gold nano structured materials by reduction reaction between gold salt and suitable green reducing agent is being investigated. Literature on concentration of gold solution and reducing agent, synthesis parameters and mixing rate effect to particle size have been reviewed. Fabricating these nanostructures with an unprecedented control over their sizes,shapes and spacing is an essential requirement for the construction of nanoscale optical and photonic devices. This inspired us to make our own contributions to this exciting and highly relevant field. It is important to develop a system, useful as a sensor that identifies the presence of gases or bio molecules at low part-per-billion concentrations in gaseous media and biomaterials. Shift of surface Plasmon resonance peak can be monitored using the Raman Spectroscopy while gold nanostructure is exposed to variable concentration of poisonous gases like ozone and CO and bio molecules like cancer cells in blood. <#LINE#> @ @ Changiz Vatankhah and Ali Ebadi, Quantum Size Effects on Effective Mass and Band gap of Semiconductor Quantum Dots, Research Journal of Recent Sciences,2(1),21-24(2013) @No $ @ @ Kuttge M., Vesseur E., Koenderink A., Lezec H., Atwater H. and Garcia De Abajo F., Polman, A.

From the primitive time itself different intervention has been made in this field with an objective of universal elementary education. Lately education is converted as fundamental right. Among the several state of India, Kerala places an enviable position in the educational and sociocultural plot. The state is also going through a wide range of transition in the field of education. The globalized needs of people do not except education and the demands for qualitative education is being amplified. Successful evaluation is the tangible way for improving the quality of education. Hence, based on the recommendation of Kerala Curriculum Framework (2007); the state started new evaluation system called CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) in the year 2008. CCE refers to the evaluation of students that covers all aspect (scholastic as well as co-scholastic) of student’s development. Even though currently the social indicators like education, health etc. is very high in Kerala, the same among tribal community is comparatively very low. Hence in this paper the researcher would like to explain how the CCE is effective on improving the academic performance and also the life skill of the tribal students. <#LINE#> @ @ Patel S., Tribal Education in India, Mittal Publication, New Delhi, (1991) @No $ @ @ Mathew E.T., Educated Unemployment in Kerala: Some Socio-Economic Aspects, Economic and Political Weekly, (1995) @No $ @ @ Disha Nawani, Countinuously and Comprehensively Evaluating Children, Economic and political weekly/ A Sameeksha publication, XLVIII(2), 33-40 (2013R.

<#LINE#>Air pollution Modeling for Human Exposure Predictions: A Review<#LINE#>Dubey@Anita<#LINE#>24-27<#LINE#>5.ISCA-ISC-2013-8EVS-11.pdf<#LINE#> Govt. M.L.B. College Bhopal, M.P., INDIA  <#LINE#>2013,/1/<#LINE#>2014,/1/<#LINE#> The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive review with regards to recent developments, major research, computational methods and air quality models applications. The development of models for air pollution assessment has been identified as an important area for future research. Air pollution due to massive use of motor vehicles in urban areas of India is one of the most serious and fast growing problem to solve. These motor vehicles emit significant quantities of CO2, CO, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, SPM and other toxic substances in the atmosphere which adversely affect the environmental and the health. The objective of this study is to understand the chemistry of air pollution with its precise estimation through modeling. The behavior and relation between emission and deposition of pollutants can explain with the help of air quality models. Modeling is a set of different scientific methods that are helpful to analyze nature and behavior of pollutants in the atmosphere. On the basis of source of pollutants air quality models are classified as point, area or line source models. Various Gaussian based line source models are commonly used in India to assess the impact of vehicular pollution along the roads or highways. Sources of air pollution, chemistry of pollutants and computational methods for dispersion modeling are discussed and reviewed with respect to various literature and corresponding methods. The paper includes comparative study of various air quality models and study of complex phenomenon of air pollution. Recent modified air quality models and their future scope are also discussed in the paper which help for scientists who work in the same field.  <#LINE#> @ @  Briggs G.A., Plume Rise, USAEC Critical Review Series, (1969) @No $ @ @  Briggs, G.A., Some recent analysis of plume rise observation, Proc.
