The analytical results show that heavy metals occurrence in free fall atmospheric dust is found to be highest in fractions strongly bound to organic matter followed by weakly bound (exchangeable, carbonate bound). On the basis of the results of the elemental composition and morphology through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and widely dispersive X-ray florescence (WD-XRF), particles have been categorised into two groups: crustal and anthropogenic particles indicating the influence of fly ash emitted from Kota Super Thermal Power Plant (KSTPS) and other industrial activities. Simultaneously meteorological parameters were monitored to evaluate the influence of temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity. Mean concentrations of anthropogenic origin metals such as Cu, Cd, Zn and Pb are observed more at low temperature, high relative humidity and low wind velocity and lower at high temperature, low relative humidity and high wind velocity. On the contrary, crustal origin metals (Fe, Ca and Mg) are found to have a reverse trend under these meteorological conditions. Results of deposition flux (Fd) showed an approximately exponential decay with distance from point source Kota Super Thermal Power Plant (KSTPS).<#LINE#>Singh A.K., Srivastava M.K., Singh M., Srivastava A., Kumar S., Tiwari S., Singh B.P., Bisht D.S. and Tiwari S.

The fish exposed for greater time periods have been found to show marked changes in their liver histology as well as in the architecture of the ovarian tissue with reference to the different seasonal reproductive phases. Under controlled condition during the maturation phase of ovary the oocyte undergoing vitellogenesis have been found to increase in number as well as size leading to the production of yolk laden matured oocytes. On the contrary fish exposed for 3 to 4 weeks have been observed to show prolonged and most often incomplete vitellogenesis leading to the formation of a large number of late yolk vesicular stage oocytes ending up with the fate of atretic follicle formation.<#LINE#>Jovanović B., Anastasova L., Rowe E.W., Zhang Y., Clapp A.R. and Palić D.

The effect of Peer Assisted Learning Strategy (PALS) on students' performance and learning satisfaction was investigated in this study. The Pre-test/ post-test test devised for both the experiment and control group to measure their performance level in science before and after PALS and No-PALS. The second method involved the experiment group to answer a survey questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale to address how PALS enhance students learning satisfaction and contribute to other students' learning satisfaction. While the Pre-test/ post-test test data showed change in mean marks, rating scores on questionnaires indicated effectiveness of PALS, suggesting that PALS can have positive impact students' performance and learning satisfaction.<#LINE#>Topping K.J.

Pesticides are used worldwide for the purpose of agricultural consumption and control the pest and insect. Previous widespread use of pesticides in the past and constrained current practice resulted in the river pollution. Most of the Indian rivers pass over a large number of villages, cities, agricultural fields and some of the industrial areas. Therefore, a large portion of wastes and sewages produced from these different areas goes into the rivers. The rivers search out totally contaminated due to release of hazardous substances, dyes, fertilizer and other toxic materials. Most of the hazardous chemicals do not mortify; therefore contaminant stabilizes in the aquatic system. Almost all of the pollutants detected in river fish were mostly banned pesticides, which should be dealt legally.<#LINE#>Rajendran R.B. and Subramanian A.N.
