Computer Science
Over the past few decades, fast-growth has occurred in the area of medical image acquisition devices, and physicians now rely on the utilization of medical images for the diagnosis, treatment plans, and surgical guidance. Researchers have classified medical images according to two structures: anatomical and functional structures. Due to this classification, the data obtained from two or more images of the same object frequently provide complementary and more abundant information through a process known as multimodal medical model registration. Image registration is spatially mapping the coordinate system of the two images obtained from a different viewpoint and utilizing various sensors. Several automatic multimodal medical image registration algorithms have been introduced based on types of medical images and their applications to increase the reliability, robustness, and accuracy. Due to the diversity in imaging and the different demands for applications, there is no single registration algorithm that can do that. This paper introduces a novel method for developing a multimodal medical image registration system that can select the most accepted registration algorithm from a group of registration algorithms for a variety of input datasets. The method described here is based on a machine learning technique that selects the most promising candidate. Several experiments have been conducted, and the results reveal that the novel approach leads to considerably faster reliability, accuracy, and more robustness registration algorithm selection.

This study presents new spectrophotometric method for the determination of Irbesartan. So far, no Area under Curve Spectrophotometric method has been reported for the estimation of Irbesartan from pharmaceutical dosage form. This paper deals with validation and development of a method by Area Under Curve for the assay of Irbesartan from pharmaceutical dosage forms. The principle for AUC curve method is “the area under two points on the mixture spectra is directly proportional to the concentration of the component of interest”. The area selected between 203 to 211 nm for determination of Irbesartan. The drug follows Beer-Lambert’s law over the concentration range of 5-25 μg/ml for Irbesartan. In accuracy study the % recovery of Irbesartan in bulk drug samples was ranged 96.45-93.84%, which indicates that the method was accurate. Validation of the proposed method was carried out for its accuracy, precision, and specificity according to ICH guidelines. The proposed methods can be successfully applied in routine work for the determination of Tigecycline in its pharmaceutical dosage form.

Firework injuries, cracker burns, cracker blast hand, cracker blast of face
Healthcare
Fireworks related burns are one of the causes of recurring incidences of burn injuries every year during festivals. Sporadic events are reported in family and communal celebrations / temple festivals and in funerals. These burns are different from other burns as the burn percentage is not the major burden, but the increasing number of patients with cracker burn injuries with loss of hand function, loss of vision and at times blast injury of the face with major tissue loss and multiple fractures (shattered tissues), which are challenging for the reconstructive surgeon, are major concern. The vulnerable groups are innocent children who sustain injuries due to ignorance, negligence and lack of supervision. These fire cracker burn wounds are to be classified separately as the wounds are more like traumatic wounds than burn wounds. They are also associated with more morbidity than mortality.(1,2,3) The management of these wound is multidisciplinary, with involvement of various specialists like paediatricians, ophthalmologists, psychiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons and specialists in rehabilitative medicine along with plastic and reconstructive surgeons.Reconstruction of blast hand and face needs multiple surgeries and prolonged period of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The effective and appropriate decision made in the acute phase is important to reduce their morbidity.(4)

The total magnetic intensity data has been collected in and around Ramadugu Village in Eastern DharwarCraton to understand the magnetic evidence over the known Lamproites zones in conjunction with geology and geomorphology. Based on the magnetic, geological and geomorphological signatures observed from the known lamproites potential zones, new probable locations are identified in the study area. Nine magnetic lows and fourteen magnetic highs are traced, lows are representing the presence of Lamproites within the granite gneiss, and highs are observed over the presence of banded iron formations. The generated analytical (Horizontal, Vertical, Tilt, Analytical signal) maps from the total magnetic anomaly show the trends of the magnetic lineaments and trending in NW-SE, NE-SW &E-W direction. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the magnetic data clearly identified four tectonic disturbed (A.B,C,D) zones, various faults and other lineaments/dykes and the intersection of lineaments, geological, morpho structural, tectonic aspects of reported occurrence of lamproites near Ramadugu and Vattikodu areas were found to be localized at surrounding of the domal peripherals. Using this criterion eight potential lamproites zones were delineated(2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11 and 13) in the study region. The long normalized radial averaged power spectrum of the study area indicated that the depth to the granite gneiss basement is around 2 Km.The dyke configurations in the region was obtained via the inversion of magnetic profiles.

Mood is the main philosophy behind Literature
Tiwari, Dr. Vineeta
The question that always struck my mind that - What pressure, influence, reason, key is behind the literary creativity? Is it simple literary skill a person has? Is it a gift from God? or Is it a situational enforcement that vibrate that gift or skill and finally envisages as form of creation. Then what type of situational enforcement it can be? Answer came – as this activity is totally associated with imagination, perception, vision so that it can be said that brain is the main central point that activate the situation. And if it is brain, then no wonder that mood must be the main catalyst in the whole process. As mood is not a stationery object, it always swings from one state to another state, it can be said that this mood is the main philosophy behind any literary creation.

The aim of this study was to identify the tabanid flies in the Gedaref State, Eastern Sudan and to estimate their seasonal abundance. A number of 374 flies sample were collected by the trapping method in the period October 2014 to October 2015 and were sorted out using certain morphological features that include; size, head, thorax, wings, legs, antennae and abdomen. The observed features of 47 randomly selected samples were recorded and were used to create an identification key that can be used for future characterization and identification of any member of the Tabanidae family. More tabanids flies were collected during the wet (52.29%) than the dry season (47.71%). A number of 5 species of Tabanidae namely; Tabanus autumnalis (Szilády 1914); Tabanus leleani (Austen 1920); Atylotus pulchellus (Loew 1858); Hybomitra mendica (Villeneuve 1912) and Philoliche sp. were reported for the first time in the state of Gedaref. The method described here has advantages over the other methods of identification; that it is simple, costless, and requires no skillful person to perform. The collection procedure is very crucial, for the specimen must be of high-quality. This key will facilitate the recognition of the vector species and its possible role in the transmission of the parasitic and/or viral animals’ diseases in the area.

The cook stove is usually constructed from black-painted sheet metal, to better absorb energy. To enhance thermal performance, a theoretical cylindrical design is proposed in this article. This article aims to study this design and compare its performance with the conical design. Theoretical modeling of the cook stove was carried out considering heat transfer by radiation, convection, and conduction based on a steady-state thermal network, and solved using the Matlab R2021b® platform under license (License No. 595687). The result of the theoretical analysis predicts a theoretical efficiency of 65%, a pot air temperature Tf=220°C and a flame temperature Ta=900°C. Similarly, a validation with Sagouong's model on combustion chamber temperature and Kaushik's model on thermal efficiency. A maximum threshold (RMSE) of 4% is observed between the two studies. The Tc temperature stagnates rapidly within 5 minutes at 600°C and the comparison showed that the firing temperatures of the cylindrical shape are higher than those of the conical-shaped cook stove. Consequently, the performance of the cylindrical-shaped cooking stove can be improved by further experimentation and flue gas analysis.

The problem of salinization of water resources associated with the drying of the Aral sea is one of the urgent problems of Kazakhstan. Annual salt storms cover hundreds of kilometers around the sea with a salt layer. Salinization of water resources leads to changes in the population structure of aquatic organisms. On the other hand, the influence of brine on aquatic organisms is not well understood. As a result of the work it was found that the introduction of the surface brine of lake Zhaksy-Klych, located near the Aral sea, into the aquatic environment in a ratio of 1:1 causes the death of all protozoal organisms, and in the cells of filamentous algae there was a convex plasmolysis. The most resistant diatoms in which the introduction of brine into the water causes a gradual plasmolysis of convex and convulsive form.

Applied Sciences
Horticulture, crop science, leaf area estimation
Agriculture Sciences
Leaf area estimation is an important biometrical trait for evaluating leaf development and plant growth analysis in field study of horticultural as well as other species of crop plants. These measurements can be made either destructively and/or non-destructively by using a variety of sensitive instruments as well as models of leaf area estimation. Easy, accurate, cost-effective, and nondestructive methods of leaf area estimation are useful tool in physiological studies related to plant growth and development. The use of regression equations is a nondestructive, simple, quick, accurate, reliable and not expensive method of leaf area estimation. The usual procedure of this method involves measuring length (L), breadth (W) and/or dry mass (M) of a sample of leaves and then calculating the several possible regression coefficients or leaf factors to estimate the area of subsequent leaf samples. Computer programs such as Excel, SAS and SPSS may be used in this process. The paper thrashed out several leaf area estimation models of horticultural crops from the available literature and synthesized in tabular form for the use of researchers. Article also offered some advantages and disadvantages of leaf area estimation models used for analyzing the plant growth and development.

Commentary on the developing Geologic theories- A review
Derby, John
By contemplating ice centers, shakes, and dregs layers, geologists have recognized various particular verifiable periods on our Earth. Whether it's the Jurassic time, when dinosaurs ruled and mainlands isolated, or the later Holocene, which started as ice sheets withdrew and a solidified earth warmed once more, the topographical order framework we utilize today has depended on both particular confirmation and very much situated contentions.

Zoology
The effect of temporal variation on activity of the echolocating bat community was determined in four habitat types in and around Amurum Forest Reserve: (i) gallery forest, (ii) savannah, (iii) rocky outcrop, and (iv) farmland. Using transect-based acoustic surveys in the various habitats, bat activity was estimated based on the recorded number of bat passes per minute of echolocation recordings from the field survey grouped into hours after dusk (19:00-23:00) and hours before dawn (02:00-06:00). Bat activity was significantly higher in hours after sunset than hours before sunrise. Activities did not vary significantly in the farmland between hours after sunset and hours before sunrise. In the gallery forest both times of the night had significant impact on bat activity, while in savannah and rocky outcrop habitats only hours after sunset did have significant effect on bat activity. The farmland showed a different trend by hours before sunset having a significant impact on bat activity. Echolocating bat communities in Amurum Reserve are more active during the hours after sunset than hours before sunrise. We recommend hours after sunset as more suitable period for surveying echolocating bat species through acoustic methods. The managements of reserves may do well in avoiding human activities in the protected areas during hours after sunset for maximum performance of the echolocating bat communities in the reserves.

Physical Sciences
In this work, the following materials have been chosen as anti-reflection layer, namely hafnium (HfO2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), silicon oxynitrides (SiOxNy), silicon oxides (SiOx), silicon nitride (Si3N4) and hydrogenated silicon nitride (SiNx:H). The calculations were made on the basis of values of layer thicknesses and refractive indices that allow the phase and amplitude conditions to be respected and amplitude conditions. Numerical simulations have shown that low reflectivities at the surface of the surface of the plane cell coated with a simple layer, can be obtained. For example, for simple coatings materials based on Si3N4 and HfO2, we obtain a value of reflectivity around 3 and 2 % respectively. The structures with multilayer coatings such as MgF2/SiNx:H/Si, give a reflectivity of around 1 %. Thus, the refraction index of the coating is an important parameter that plays a major parameter that plays a major role in the optical properties of materials. The closer the refractive index is close to the index of the substrate or the layer above the substrate, the higher the reflectivity.

Healthcare Technology
Nearly one–third of the working populations in most developed countries report high or extreme levels of negative stress. Over the last decade, the escalating costs associated with workplace stress indicate an international trend among industrialized nations. Stress is considered as one of the root causes for many psychological disorders. Anxiety is one of the common disorders that can rise due to negative stress. Consulting health professionals to overcome mental health problem is time-consuming, expensive, and may affect the privacy for many people. To overcome these limitations, we are presenting a model for a self-help mobile app program that can be a powerful, cost–effective, personalized, and convenient tool to overcome mild to moderate stress and anxiety. Mindfulness Meditation is a scientifically proven and standardized technique for many mental health problems. Many professionals have developed Mindfulness-based mobile applications. However, they do not address the core root causes of the mental health problem as the conventional psychological therapy does. Therefore, the proposed self-help mobile app merges mainstream psychological process and mindfulness in reducing minor to moderate stress, and anxiety.

Biochemistry & Food Science
Palm wine is the commonest name of the beverage obtained from fermented palm sap, the exudate from tapped unopened spathe of oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). This refreshing wine of West and Central Africa is very sweet but within 24 hours the concentration of sucrose falls to less than 50% the initial amounts due to a rapid sugar fermentation by microorganisms. In Cameroon, Central Africa, traditional attempts to preserve palm wine imply the introduction of natural preservatives mostly barks and leaves from edible or medicinal plants. The leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, Pimenta racemosa, Vernonia amygdalina, Ocimum basilicum and the barks and the leaves of Garcinia lucida and of Adansonia digitata commonly used in palm wine preservation were analyzed for their chemical composition. The results showed that lipid, protein, ash, crude fiber, total sugars and vitamin C contents were respectively from 15.70 ± 1.13 to 23.57 ± 1.80%, from 8.38 ± 0.38 to 43.81 ± 3.69%, from 1.14 ± 0.17 to 10.06 ± 0.39%, from 11.74 ± 1.11 to 48.42 ± 0.55%, and from 1.49 ± 0.02 to 22.56 ± 0.59% and from 55.76 ± 3.15 to 175.71 ± 2.09 μg /100 g dw. The phyto-chemicals levels were respectively from 1.37 ± 0.22 to 3.61 ± 0.6 % for total alkaloids, 2.66 ± 0.12 to 4.80 ± 0.24 % for total phenolics and 0.57 ± 0.09 to 1.88 ± 0.09 mg /100 g dw for total saponins. Concerning anti-nutrients, the oxalates levels were higher than the threshold value (250 mg/100 g) reported as safety limit. Despise the proven antimicrobial benefits of alkaloids, saponins and phenolics found in those leaves and barks, caution shall be paid during their use due to their high oxalates levels.

Health Technologies
The early and accurate detection of brain tumors is important in providing effective and efficient therapy and thus can result in increased survival rates. Current image-based tumor detection and diagnosis methods depend heavily on the interpretation of the neuro specialists and/or radiologists. Therefore, it is quite possible for the interpretation process to be time-consuming, and prone to human error and subjectivity. Automatic detection and classification of brain tumors have the potential to achieve efficiency and higher degree of predictable accuracy. However, it is well established that the accuracy performance of automatic detection and classification techniques varies from technique to technique, and tends to be image modality dependent. Thus, it is prudent to explore the variability in the performance of these techniques as a means to achieve consistent high accuracy performance. This paper presents a framework for fusing multiple tumor classifiers. The fusion process is based on the Dempster Shafer evidence fusion theory. Several tumor classifiers are employed. Experimental results will be presented to validate the efficiency of the proposed framework. It is concluded that fusing the classification decisions made by the various classifiers it is conceivable that efficient and consistent high accuracy classification performance can be attained.

Bio Sciences
The in vitro cytotoxicity of five fractions derived from the crude water-soluble extract (CWSE) of Momordica charantia, a known medicinal herb was tested on four cancer cell models; MDA-MB 436 and 231 (breast cancer cell lines), HeLa (Cervical cancer cell lines) and A549 (Lung cancer cell lines). N-hexane (D4) < Dichloromethane (D5) < Ethyl acetate (D3) < Butanol (D2) < Aqeous (D6) fractions, all obtained via solvent partitioning in their order of increasing polarity were administered at varied concentrations (50, 75,100, 125, 150 and 200 μg/mL) for 24 h. Cell viability was detected using the MTT assay. Cells treated with the Butanol and Aqueos fractions respectively showed survival rates as high as 96.11% and 85.75% for MDA-MB 231; 93.59% and 88.28% for MDA-MB 436; 101.62% and 96.76% for HeLa and 89.55% and 81.40% for A549 even at 200μg/mL, the highest considered concentration. Whereas, at tested concentrations, cells treated with the N-hexane, Dichloromethane and Ethyl acetate fractions showed marked cytotoxic effects with the Inhibitory concentration (IC50) ranging between 100μg/mL and 125μg/mL. We also observed that the ethylacetate fraction displayed the highest cytotoxicity having its approximate IC50 at 100μg/mL, especially for MDA-MB 231 (~51%), HeLa (~54%) and A549 (~43%). The percentage viability for MDA-MB 436 at 100μg/mL is about 64.2%, albeit at 125μg/mL percentage viability dropped to 34.7% This paper may provide cytological evidence for the inhibitory effect of Momordica charantia on certain cancer cell proliferation.

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate buccal cortical bone thickness in the maxilla and mandible so as to provide guidelines for mini-implant placement. Cone beam computed tomographic scans of thirty patients (Age 16-30 years) were collected from preorthodontic records. Each measurement area was coded with a number beginning in the maxillary right quadrant distal to the second molar with number 1 and ending in the mandibular right quadrant distal to the second molar with number 30. For analysis these measurement areas were also grouped as sextants. Three measurement points were then defined at 2 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm from the alveolar crest in each measurement. The measuring locations were recorded on the four quadrants, resulting in 90 locations in the buccal cortical plate of maxillary and mandibular arch. The region of interest was explored at each measuring location of the 30 sites using Galileos software. The optimal site for miniimplant placement in the anterior region is between the central and lateral incisors in the maxilla and between the lateral incisor and the canine in the mandible at the 6-mm level from the alveolar crest. At the buccal aspect of the posterior region of both jaws, the optimal sites are between between the first and second molars i.e. in the Maxillary arch at 4 mm level on the right side and left side and in the Mandibular arch at 6 mm level on the right side and left side.

Utilization of Bio-methanated Distillery Effluent (Spent Wash) as a potential substrate in vermiculture of Eudrilus eugeniae was studied at Advanced Research Farm Facility (ARFF) of Tamil Nadu Fisheries University, Madhavaram campus. The biological parameters of earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae were recorded when reared in different vermibeds treated with domestic waste (DW), crude spent wash (CSW) and diluted spent wash (DSW). Cow dung (CD) and leaf litter (LL) were used as base substrate material in all treatments. The experiment was conducted in perforated trays (45 x 30 x 10 cm) for a period of 10 weeks, in duplicates. Four number of non-clitellated adults (950-1025mg live weight) were introduced in each experimental unit. The experiment was conducted at an ambient temperature of 28-30°C. Growth parameters such as mean individual live weight, maximum individual growth rate (mg/worm/day), total biomass gain; reproductive performance indicators such as number of cocoons, reproduction rate (cocoon/worm/day) and hatching viability were significantly higher in vermibed treated with diluted spent wash. Mortality and growth retardation was observed in the vermibed treated with crude spent wash. To conclude, appropriately diluted spent wash can be used as a potential substrate in the vermiculture operation of Eudrilus eugeniae.

Burn injuries in children continue to be a major epidemiological problem in our country. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Nearly one third of burn injury occurs in children under the age of 12 years. Majority of the paediatric burns are under the age of 5 years(1-5). There are certain unique features to be kept in mind while managing paediatric burns. The differences in physiology of fluid and electrolyte balance, the uniqueness of the energy requirement and the differences in the body proportions in children dictate the paediatric burn management. If special care is taken during the initial management of burn injuries in children, they children can be effectively treated and integrated into the society as useful and productive members.

The Citric Acid Cycle: Process and contextual comments
Mohammad, Amirul J.
Acetyl-CoA is a typical result of starch, lipid, and protein breakdown. It comprises of an acetyl gathering connected to a coenzyme A particle. Coenzyme A will be a vast particle that contains an atom of ADP with two side chain gatherings originating from its phosphate arms. Acetyl gatherings append to the end of these side chains. Along these lines, the coenzyme A goes about as a transporter of acetyl gatherings. When it is separated by water, a lot of vitality are discharged, which, as we might see, drive the citrus extract cycle. The most widely recognized way that acetyl-CoA is inferred in the metabolic pathway is with the assistance of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex. We will study the contextual process of the CAC.

Introduction:Locally advanced Head and neck cancers (LAHNSCCs) are emerging as an important public health issue in India. Our study was designed to provide NACT to LAHNSCC patients followed by comparison between chemoradiation versus only radiation in rural medical college.Material and Method: Histopathologically proven non-metastatic LAHNSCC were randomized into 2 arms. Patients in both arms initially received 3 cycles of NACT (inj Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 and inj Carboplation AUC 6, i.v, q 21 days). Thereafter they received definitive treatment accordingly: arm A (control arm) received conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT), 70 Gy in 35 # and in arm B (study arm) received conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT), 70 Gy in 35 # with concomitant 3 weekly cisplatin 100mg/m2. A RECIST v1.0 criterion was used for response assessment and toxicities evaluated by RTOG Acute and late Morbidity scorings.Results: Between July 2013 to December 2015, 140 patients were randomized into arms. Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal subsites together accounted for 36.4% patients. 70% of patients were in AJCC TNM 7th edition stage IV. 87.8% of patients completed the planned 3 cycles of NACT. Response assessment using RECIST v1.0 criteria after NACT were comparable in both arms with CR in 25% patients and PR in another 60% patients, p value 0.963. After completion of full treatment, 68.57% (48/70) patients in concurrent arm had CR against 55.72% patients (39/70) in only radiation arm, p value 0.241. At the end of study, 38 patients in arm A and 46 patients in arm B were eligible for response assessment. 24 patients (63.2%) in arm A were in complete response against 32 patients (69.6%) in concurrent chemoradiation arm, p value 0.535. Gastrointestinal and mucositis grade 3 toxicities were significantly increased in concomitant chemoradiation arm.Conclusion: Our study failed to show any statistical significant improvement in CR in favour of CTRT arm in our subset of patients. Yet definitive conclusion regarding use of only radiation cannot be made for LAHNSCC especially when combined with induction chemotherapy.

Lovastatin; AUC; Validation; UV-Spectroscopy
Pharmacy
Development of an accurate, simple and cost effective UV spectrophotometric method for estimation of Lovastatin was the aim of present study. This work was based upon an area under curve method i.e. “concentration of the component of interest is directly proportional to the area under two points on the mixture spectra”. The UV spectrum between 238-258 nm was selected and the validation was carried out as per ICH guideline, Q2 (R1). This method obeyed Beer’s Lamberts Law over the concentration range of 5-25μg /ml. The value of correlation coefficient was 0.9988. The method was precise due to the satisfactory value of percent relative standard deviation for the intraday and inter-day precision. Result of the recovery studies (99.8) showed accuracy of method. Hence, developed method can be used for routine estimation of Lovastatin in bulk and dosage form.

The production of electricity from the sun mainly consists of transforming the light emitted by the sun into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells. This production varies proportionally with the light that illuminates the solar photovoltaic module. According to the literature, we noted that during the period of cloudy passage, the production of the solar modules could see a fall going from 5 to 60% according to the size of the photovoltaic fields. The present work consisted of studying the impact of cloudy passages on the electrical production of PV fields at four sites (Loumbila, Sandogo, Ouaga 2000 and IRSAT). To achieve this, a theoretical and experimental study was conducted. The simulation results were compared to the experimental results of two daily sunshine profiles (sunny and cloudy). The results show significant differences between the experimental and simulated data for the two sunshine profiles considered. The losses of electrical production generated by these cloudy passages vary from 27 to 32% and from 35 to 52%, respectively, for the simulated and experimental results. These differences were explained by the probabilistic character of the cloudy passages and by the fact that other major parameters (aerosols, dust deposits and ageing of the solar modules) were not considered. As perspectives, we recommend a continuation of the work by studying, in addition to the cloudy passages, the influence of aerosols and dust deposits on the PV fields realized by us.

The study focused on quantifying the extent and sources of the deterioration of the vegetation cover of the study area at the Sudanese Blue Nile watershed in relation to agriculture extension policy, inefficient management and Lack of governmental policy. The Research was based on forest and vegetation inventory and soil analysis to determine the current situation using ground survey, forest inventory and remote sensing data as well as secondary information from other sources to cover historical records from 1990 to 2015.The results showed a significant change in natural ecosystems during the study period due to the change in the land use patterns. The Closed forests, open forests, and rural settlement areas were found to decrease by -90%, -43% and -32% respectively during the period (1990-2000). This negative trend was reflected in a positive trend showed by expansion in agriculture (+267%), horticulture (+73%), bare land (144%), and urban areas (12%). During the period (2010-2015), which was the civil war period, the area of closed forests, open forests and urban areas were increased, in comparison to that of 1990-2000) by 201,10, and 247% respectively, while that of agriculture, Rural areas, and bare lands is negative (-51, -54 and -68% respectively).The major factor for the change is mainly attributed to the migration of rural people towards urban areas due to civil war and economic crises. In addition, it is expected that there are other factors such as the absence of clear plans and coordination between concerned government authorities, at local and national levels, which may need further investigations and studies to clear the whole picture.

Kohli, Sanjeev
Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain carbon-carbon triple bonds. A number of the responses of alkynes are like the comparing responses of alkenes on the grounds that both include π-bonds between two carbon molecules. Like the π-obligation of an alkene, the π-obligations of an alkyne are additionally electron rich, and promptly experience option responses.

Electricity is an indispensable part of civilization. It is often taken for granted, and can sometimes take away limbs, and at times, life. When a human being comes in contact with electricity, burns can ensue. These electrical burns are the most devastating of all thermal injuries on a size for size basis5 and involve skin and deeper tissues. 90% of electrical injuries are accidental and nearly two-thirds occur at the work spot. Young, working males are commonly affected with frequent amputation of dominant limbs. This paper analyses the different uses of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap in the reconstruction of electrical burn raw areas and in the salvage of the amputation stumps.

The main aim of this study was to assess and mapping of land cover (LC) / land use (LU), using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques in Elnor natural forest reserve, Blue Nile state, Sudan. The study also attempted to update some information in the study area such as LC and contour map by using different methods of data transformation and analysis such as Normalized Different Vegetation Index (NDVI), interpolation and supervised classification. Thematic Mapper (TM), Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) and Landsat8 images were used in LCLU changes and supported by field observation. The study area was affected by cutting the mother trees and overgrazing. Closed forests during 2000, 2010 and 2019 decreased from 36.9%, 28.5% and 18.7% respectively. Moreover, the total area of bare soil increased by about 14.4%, 47.2% and 39.7% in 2000, 2010 and 2019 respectively. The open forest (grassland) decreased from 48.7% in (2000) to 41.7% in (2019). A Digital land cover map was produced using LCCS software; depending on the fieldwork data, they were found in four Classes. Mixed Woodland Single Layer, Semi-Deciduous Shrub land with Open Herbaceous, Open Grassland, Single XII Layer and Hardpans. The study revealed that there are some indicators of land degradation during the last 20 years (2000, 2010 and 2019) and is expected to continue increasing unless serious measures are carried out to reduce it.

Factors of affecting groundwater, Groundwater quality index, Groundwater availability, Status of equipments of exploitation, Water problems in Jamshedpur
Geography
The population of Jamshedpur unban agglomeration is increasing continuously due to industrialization and urbanization. The needs of water can't be fulfill only through supply. In present, 48.11% of water-needs are depends on groundwater. Due to pressure on groundwater is decreasing rapidly. In 1960 water was available on average depth of 32.80 ft, but now their availability is doubtful also at the average depth of 360 ft. High capacity machinery are being used by the rich people for water, while hand-pumps and wells are drying up which is used by the common people. This issue also proved that:- (1) Groundwater budget is not satisfactory; because water recharge and consumption ratio is so differs, and (2) Citizens are spending lots of money and working hard for avail water. Therefore it is observed that, environment and land structure is decreasing through downfall of water table. Now it’s time to take an effective action to saving water, if not we are responsible to a big mistake possibly. The presented research paper is try to show the problems, which are arise to excess use of groundwater from 1960 to 2015.

Biotechnology
The present study was carried out inorder to assess the biocontrol efficiency of Pseudomonas fluorescence against Pythium spp MTCC 10247. The earlier studies have revealed its antifungal properties but the previous reports lack the details about the compounds and the target for the fungi. Hence we have designed our work plan to reveal the compounds present in the secondary metabolites of Pseudomonas fluorescence and the target on the phytopathogens Pythium spp MTCC 10247 which causes plant diseases. Production of secondary metabolites of Pseudomonas fluorescence was carried out and the compounds were characterized by TLC, SDS-PAGE, and GC-MS. There were 7 peak compounds found out, they are 1,4-diaza-2,5-dioxobicyclo[4.3.0] nonane (13,69%) , 3-isobutylhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione(10.11%), Pyrrolo[1,2-a] pyrazine 1,4dione,hexahydro-3-(2-methylpropyl(17.79%) l-Leucine,N-cyclopylcarbonyl-pentadecyl ester(7.09%), 3,6diisobutyl-2,5-piperazinedione (37.62%), 3-benzylhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-A]pyrazine-1,4-dione(8.52%), L-prolinamide, 5-oxo-l-prolyl-l-phenylanyl-4-hydroxy(5.19%). Antifungal activity of the ethyl acetate extract of the secondary metabolites were examined against Pythium spp MTCC 10247 and result revealed that the lag period of the fungi was double fold higher than the control and the compounds were fungi static because there was a 57% of growth reduction after 7th day of incubation period. All the seven compounds were used for molecular docking study and result showed higher score value with L-prolinamide, 5-oxo-l-prolyl-l-phenylanyl-4-hydroxy against cell wall protein (3GNU receptor) Pythium spp MTCC 10247.

The obtained products were charecterised by melting point determination and infra red spectral analysis. Benzoic acid and corresponding substituted benzoic acids were formed as the product with very high yield. The oxidation reactions were carried out by using various quaternary ammonium and phosphonium salts as phase transfer catalyst. The effect of non polar solvents and various phase transfer catalysts on yield of product was also carried out.

Image segmentation plays a crucial role in recognizing image signification for checking and mining medical image records. Brain tumor segmentation is a complicated assignment in medical image analysis. It is challenging to identify precisely and extract that a portion of the image has abnormal tissues for further diagnosis and analysis. The method of segmenting a tumor from a brain MRI image is a highly concentrated medical science community field, as MRI is non-invasive. In this survey, brain MRI images' latest brain tumor segmentation techniques are addressed a thoroughgoing literature review. Besides, surveys the several approved techniques regularly applied for brain tumor MRI segmentation. Also, highlighting variances among them and reviews their abilities, pros, and weaknesses. Various approaches to image segmentation are described and explicated with the modern participation of several investigators.

SILAR, ZnO thin films, Mo- doping, surface morphology, electrical properties
Physics
Molybdenum (Mo) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on the glass substrate by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) deposition method. The effect of Mo dopant concentration of 5, 6.6 and 10 mol% on the structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of n-type Mo doped ZnO films was studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirmed that the Mo doped ZnO thin films were polycrystalline with wurtzite structure. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) studies shows that the surface morphology of the films changes with Mo doping. A blue shift of the optical band gap was observed in the optical studies. Effect of Mo dopant concentration on electrical conductivity was studied and it shows comparatively high electrical conductivity at 10 mol% of Mo doping concentration.

Biotechnology & Microbiology
The objective of this investigation is to identify the relationship of GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms with risk of cancer in distinct population in North India with histopathological confirmed oral pre-malignant lesions. A range of parameters such as gender, age, tobacco habit, alcohol consumption and stages of pre-malignant were taken into consideration. Blood samples of 34 histopathological confirmed oral pre-malignant cases, were collected and analyzed for GSTT1 and GSTM1 polymorphisms by PCR method. Thus, the polymorphism of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene involved may results in the differences in enzymatic activity possibly favoring mechanisms that increase the susceptibility to cancer. Hence, out of 100% pre- malignant population, 72.73% is more susceptible to cancer in case of GSTM1. While in the GSTT1 out of 100% pre- malignant population, 54.55% population is more susceptible to cancer. This study conclude that since the polymorphic genotypes were more in tests samples than the null genotypes, it may be associated with an increased risk of cancer from pre- malignant lesions of oral cancer.

The hazards of unvaccination to the vaccinated ones
Miley, John
One of the more successive cases of antivaccine activists frequently comes as a guileful inquiry. All things considered, possibly it's not by any means insincere, given that numerous antivaccinationists appear to trust premise behind it. The inquiry for the most part takes a structure something like, "If your kid is inoculated, why are you agonized over my youngsters? They don't represent any peril to you." obviously, the reason behind that question is, humorously, one that contentions with a large portion of the convictions behind antivaccinationism, specifically the conviction that antibodies are inadequate. Yet, the reason behind this inquiry is that antibodies are effective to the point that there's no purpose behind the folks of an inoculated tyke to be concerned if that youngster interacts with another tyke with an immunization preventable infection. Obviously, nobody ever blamed antivaccine activists for being predictable in their convictions.

Children with moderate malnutrition have a high risk of mortality and MAM is associated with a high number of nutrition-related deaths. If some of these children suffering from MAM do not receive adequate support, they may progress towards severe acute malnutrition (SAM), which is a life-threatening condition. Therefore, the management of MAM should be a public health priorityA well-balanced diet was prepared based on the recommendation of WHO for the treatment of moderate acute malnourished children aged 6 -59 months. According to the formulae, nine products of RUSF were prepared using cereals, legumes, seeds, oil, sugar, and vitamin and mineral premix. Three products of RUSF MSPe, PBPe, and ISPe were found to be better among the nine products by the mothers after sensory evaluation.Based on sensory evaluation in children, RUSF MSPe was found to be the best among the three products. The product was analyzed for proximate composition, mineral, vitamin, digestibility of protein. The protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, total ash, vitamin C, Vitamin A, iron, calcium and zinc of 100 g of the product were found to be 15.9g, 33.7g, 44.3g, 6.6g, 2.2g, 54.6 mg, 855 µg, 14.1 mg, 66.6 g and 12.4 µg respectively. The diet can supply 544.5 Kcal/100 g. The energy contributed by the protein, fat, and carbohydrate was found to be 11.68%, 55.7%, and 32.62% of total Kcals respectively. The protein digestibility adjusted to the chemical index PDCASS was 0.95.Hence, the prepared RUSF is in accordance with the specification given by WHO which could be effective in the treatment of moderate acute malnourished children after the clinical trial.

Pain; Severity of Pain; Palliative care
Medicine & Healthcare
Objective: Pain is one of the most common symptoms that troubles cancer patients and precludes satisfactory quality of life. Globally, nearly 80% of the cancer patients receive little or no pain medication and cancer pain is barely controlled. This study was done to analyse the prevalence of pain and pain treatment in patients presenting to palliative care unit in a regional cancer centre.Methods: Palliative care registry and follow-up forms of 2142 patients who got registered in our palliative care unit were analysed to obtain the demographic details, treatment characteristics and to determine the prevalence of pain, its severity, and treatment in cancer patients in our regional cancer centre.Results: Nearly 50% of the cancer population had head and neck and gastrointestinal tract malignancies and received only best supportive care. Stage IV disease was found in 40% of patients, and skeletal metastasis (52%) was most common. This study showed a 92.4% prevalence of cancer pain in our centre. About 40% of patients with pain had a pain score of 7-10 by Numerical rating scale on initial presentation to the palliative care unit. About 65% of the patients with severe pain had a response to treatment withmorphine during their first follow-up to palliative care unit after initial registration. The average overall pain score of the patients per visit decreased from around 7 to 4 at a median follow-up of ten months.Significance of results: Thus, there is a high prevalence of pain in cancer patients and patients with severe pain receive little or no opioid medication at all probably due to the lack of adequate education and training to the primary oncologists and residents regarding prescription of strong opioids. This audit may help in the modification of existing and formulation of new policies in the delivery of palliative care.

Elephant dung, cellulosic fibers, sodium percarbonate, oxone, hydrogen peroxide, TCF bleaching
Environmental Sciences
Elephant dung is an excellent source of cellulosic fibers that is a basic requirement for paper making. In this study, bleaching was carried out by using eco-friendly bleaching agents such as sodium percarbonate, oxone and hydrogen peroxide. Soda-anthraquinone (soda-AQ) semi-chemical and chemical elephant dung pulps were bleached at varying doses of bleaching agents, bleaching aids and reaction time. Presence of residual lignin after pulping stage was imparting brown color to the pulp and hence was removed by subsequent bleaching stages. Soda-AQ chemical pulps was treated with different multistage bleaching sequences. The results of this study showed that sodium percarbonate and oxone could not achieve targeted brightness for elephant dung pulp samples. Whereas, using three stage hydrogen peroxide bleaching sequence [AP5P3P2] helped to achieve the targeted brightness ~ 60.0 % G.E without much sacrificing the other optical and physical properties of the pulp. Eco-friendly bleaching helped to increase the beauty of the final product. Being rich in fiber, elephant dung pulp has a potential to be blended with other raw materials to make hybrid exotic papers of high market value.

Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP), Loktak lake Manipur, north-east India which is one of the 25 Ramsar sites of international importance and the biggest fresh water Lake in India. Macrophytes of the floating Phumdi mat environment of KLNP play an important role in the aquatic environment. An investigation was planned during the period of about three years from March, 2010 to December 2012, to study the diversity pattern of habitats of macrophytes available in six study sites of KLNP viz., 1.Kumbi, 2.Khordak, 3.Keibul, 4.Toya, 5. Nongmaikhong and 6. Sargam. All total 85 dominant plant species were recorded. Maximum plant species (49) was observed in Site-1 Kumbi (Altitude-780m) and minimum (27) in Site-3 Keibul (Altitude-772). The variation of plant species may be because of the slight variation of altitude. As the six study sites are distributed as floating aquatic environment in KLNP Loktak Lake, there is favourable place of the plants in higher altitude and altitude represents a complex gradient along which many environmental variables change concomitantly. In all the six study sites, common distribution of ten dominant plant macrophytes viz., Ageratum conizoides, Hedychium coronarium, Leersia hexandra, Oenanthe javanica, Phragmites karka, Polygonum sagittatum, Saccharum munja, Thelypteris interrupta and Zizania latifolia was noticed. Individual dominant plant was recorded in other sites also viz., Azola piñata in site-6; Xanthium atrumarium, Polygonum orientale, Dichrocephala latifolia and Cymbopogon citratus in site-2; Arundo plinii, Cuscuta reflexa, Gnaphalium luteo-album, Hydrilla verticillata, Marsilia minuta, Saccolepis interrupta, Selvenia cuculata and Utricularia spp. in site-1. Variation of IVI value of dominant plant species was observed in this study. Even though 85 dominant plants were selected for all the 6 sites, however, maximum plant richness expressed in IVI was recorded in case of Zizania latifolia (Site-5, IVI-87.5) and minimum IVI in case of Xanthium strumarium (Site-2, IVI-1.13). The diversity pattern and habitats of macrophytes in KLNP Phumdi environment might be due to water availability along the altitudinal gradient and other environmental factors suited in the study sites and expected to be an important factor affecting the survival and fecundity of plant population. We need to conserve the natural habitat of KLNP thereby maintaining the luxuriant growth of the seasonal and perennial, macrophytes, so as to maintain the natural flora and fauna of the park. These plants are the food of man and animal therefore, it needs a proper care and attention to protect them from over exploitation. Considering the diversity pattern of habitats of Macrophytes in KLNP, a floating mat Phumdi environment with high floral diversity and unique vegetation assemblage, it has been suggested that this track and adjoining sites should be declared as ecologically sensitive area not only the World Heritage Site.

Applied Sciences
Allelopathic, alien invader, Cassia uniflora L., Vitex negundo L., and Ricinus communis L
Botany
Vitex negundo L. [Verbenaceae] and Ricinus communis L. [Euphorbiaceae], are especially well known for their industrial, pharmacological, and toxicological properties, but to date very little is known about their allelopathic potential. Hence the present study was conducted to evaluate their allelopathic perspectives on morphological characters of invasive alien weed Cassia uniflora Mill. Various concentrations [5%, 10%, 15% and 20%] of leaf leachates of selected plants were used as spray to test their effect on pot culture of test species. Results of present study indicated that the growth of plant was significantly inhibited in Cassia at all concentration of aqueous leaf leachates of selected plants when compared to control. Length of root and shoot, number of flowers, fruits and seeds of the weed was reduced with the increase in leaf leachates concentration. Dry weight and fresh weight of the weed were also negatively affected by aqueous leaf leachates of both the plants. The effect of Vitex leaf leachates was more pronounced than that of Ricinus. Since Vitex leaf leachates had greater activity than Ricinus against the invader, this plant could be best candidate for isolation and identification of allelochemicals, this might promote the discovery of new biocontrol for invasive weeds.

Thermally Stimulated Polarization Current (TSPC), Vectra A, poling filed, annealing, doping
Physics
The Thermally Stimulated Polarization Current (TSPC) is used to study the dielectric behavior of Vectra A, liquid crystal copolyester. The TSPC spectra of samples of Vectra A for various polarizing fields (3.8 kV/cm- 19.2 kV/cm) have been investigated. A dipolar relaxation is observed in the low temperature region ~ 30 oC due to orientation of naphthalene groups present in Vectra A which is termed as peak-P1. In the higher temperature region above 110 oC, the dipolar and space charge peaks are in composite form. TSPC cycle is performed to distinguish the dipolar and space charge peaks. Also, the TSPC spectra of annealed and doped samples of Vectra A are studied. The results obtained from TSPC spectra are compared with TSDC spectra of samples of Vectra A.

Hepatitis B, Knowledge, Attitude and Practice
Healthcare
Viral hepatitis, especially those caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV), represents a worldwide significant cause of morbidity and mortality affecting about 2 billion people worldwide. Prevention against hepatitis B (HB) is proportional to the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the people. This study seeks to assess the KAP towards HB in two rural areas of the Anglophone regions in Cameroon from the May 2014 of January 2015 using pre-designed and pre-tested, semi- structured questionnaire. Any correct or positive answers was given one point and zero for a no or negative answer. The response rate was 612 (87.4%). This study revealed that mean (SD) KAP was 14.4(3.7%), 4.7(1.1%) and 3.8(1.2%) respectively. Thus majority of the respondents had low knowledge 354(57.9%), high positive attitude 334(54.6%) and low poor practice 149(24.3%) regarding HB. Excellent knowledge was expressed only by 38(6.2%) respondents. A univariate analysis of Knowledge, showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in place, sex, age group, occupation, level of education and monthly income while for attitude a significant difference (p<0.05) was seen only in place and for practices a significant difference (p<0.05) was seen in the place, marital status, occupation, level of education and monthly income. A linear correlation revealed a non significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (r=-0.003, p = 0.12), a significantly positive correlation between knowledge and practice (r =0.28, p = 0.00) and a significantly positive correlation in attitude and Practice (r =0.27, p = 0.00).

How Molecular adjustment can minimize Nicotine’s effects in human brain
Jose, Anome
Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found that a lipid (fat atom) in mind cells might go about as a "change" to increment or diminish the inspiration to expend nicotine. The group's discoveries in creature models point to a way that a medication may some time or another return this lipid to typical levels, maybe making it less demanding for smokers to stop. "We knew these lipids were embroiled in nicotine dependence, however up to this point controlling their union was not pharmacologically practical," said TSRI Professor Loren ("Larry") Parsons, senior creator of the new study, which included a nearby joint effort with the TSRI labs of Professor Marisa Roberto and Benjamin F. Cravatt, seat of the Department of Chemical Physiology and individual from the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology at TSRI. The study was distributed for the current week in the diary Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

One hundred contract (Buy Back) broiler producers in Kurunegala, Puttalam, Kalutara districts were randomly selected.The cost and return analysis of different sizes of out grower broiler producers were analyzed using the profit function approach Quantitative variables such as feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality (% per flock), input quantity and average body weight (kg/bird), involvement in broiler farming (hours/month) were used in the analysis. The investigated farmers were receiving a profit of 73.73 ± 3.54 Rs./bird. The other parameters were; average body weight of 1.9982 ± 0.035 kg/bird, flock mortality of 3.564 ± 0.324 %, and the FCR of 1.8038 ± 0.017. Regression analysis revealed that most important factors significantly (p-0.05) affecting profit in this study were the feed conversion ratio, input quantity, body weight and flock mortality. The contracting company provided inputs such as day old chicks (DOC), Transport, and incentives such as transport incentives, bird return incentives to improve the productivity, extension services to improve quality of production. FCR and Body weight are depending on the quality of feed and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the input quantity to get optimum profits and to reduce the operational costs.

Cancer, Paediatric, Nutritional status
Nutrition Science
Malnutrition incidence among patients with cancer ranges from 30% - 80% globally. Cancer is a major cause of death in Kenya after cardiovascular and infectious diseases. This research assessed the relationship between nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) of the 52 paediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) Eldoret, Kenya. A cross-sectional analytical design was applied and the researcher administered a questionnaire and Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) instruments were used for data collection. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21 was used to analyse the data descriptively. The findings revealed that nutrition impact symptoms were more pronounced in the second and third stages of cancer where most of the respondents experienced vomiting (94.3%), decreased appetite (80.8%), and diarrhoea (69.23%). The use of the Nutrition Impact Symptom (NIS) checklist in the paediatric oncology clinic/ward triggers more therapeutic interventions.

Keibul Lamjao National Park, Macrophytes, Flowering Calendar
Life Sciences
Flowering calendar of a particular area will give the information of the period and duration of flowering among plants. The purpose of the study is to investigate the presence of the habitat of some dominant macrophytes in Keibul Lamjao National Park (a Ramsar site) which have ethnobotanical relationships with human beings (the lake dwellers in particular and tourist in general) and wild animals. Flowering calendar of six study sites viz., Keibul, Nongmaikhong, Kumbi, Khordak, Sargam and Toyaching were studied and monthly flowering calendars were taken for two year period (2010 to 2011). Flowering calendars of the macrophytes were surveyed by following standard methodologies and comparison of the stages of flowering period of 6 study sites was incorporated. Maximum number of flowering plants (44) was recorded in Sargam, Khordak (32), Kumbi (30), Nongmaikhong (29) during the period September to November. Whereas, Toyaching reached 35, Keibul recorded lowest plant numbers (14) during the period June to August. Four plant species viz., Ageratum conyzoides, Alternanthera philoxeroides, Leersia hexandra and Hedychium coronarium were found throughout the year in all the 6 sites. From the findings, it can be concluded that flowering calendar will give the information of plants which are used as fodder for the wild animals like Sangai (Rucervus eldii eldii McClelland), an endangered deer species in this globe and ethnobotanically important plants of the lake dwellers as food, medicinal plants and allergens, thereby maintaining health status of man and animals. Conservation is required by controlling the human anthropogenic harassments, thereby maintaining the luxuriant growth of the seasonal and perennial, macrophytes observed during the study of flowering calendar, so as to maintain and conserve the natural flora and fauna of the park.

Physical Sciences
In this paper, the study is focused on the anti-reflection coatings on silicon solar cells and monocrystalline solar cells. The impact of optical parameters such as refractive index on the reflectivity as well as the impact of the as well as the impact of the diffusion length of the carriers was studied. The calculations performed according to the transfer matrices on the stacking of layers through the diopters have allowed establishing simulations for antireflective multilayer coatings. In our study, the reference wavelength was chosen equal to l= 700 nm, which gives us an optimal refractive index of silicon (n = 3.7838) corresponding to a reflectivity at the surface of 33%. To reduce this high reflectivity, the coating of the surface is a technique used to improve the transmission of the incident luminous flux in the active material and light flux in the active material which is silicon.

Vincristine is major player in front line combination chemotherapy for treatment of cancer and shows decrease in testosterone after treatment contributing to reproductive toxicity. Hence, the present research was aimed to study the effect of vincristine on steroidogenic pathway which is responsible for testosterone production in males. Vincristine was intraperitoneally injected to adult male Wistar rats of proven fertility with a dose of 40μg/kg/day dissolved in 0.5 ml of physiological saline for 30 days. Animals were sacrificed at the end of treatment period; their testes were removed and used for further studies. No significant changes were observed in body weight, testis weight and mean relative testis weight. Expression studies of enzymes involved in steroidogenic pathway showed that there was decrease in expression of Steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein which might be responsible for altered testosterone production.

The advent and establishment of Molecular Orbital Theory- A review
Kundu, Sushil
Molecular orbital theory lays on the thought that nuclear orbitals are consolidated to frame sub-atomic orbitals. Since electron thickness from every iota is spread out over the compass of the whole particle, the electrons are brought down in vitality. This records for the adjustment that happens amid holding. The measure of the adjustment relies on upon the measure of cover between nuclear orbitals and the distinction in vitality between them. In this paper, we have reviewed Nuclear orbitals that cover viably create stable sub-atomic orbitals.

Chemistry
This Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland (VFCW) system was evaluated for removal efficiency of Ammonium Nitrogen and Nitrate Nitrogen from Gomutra collected from cowsheds of Ujjain. The VFCW of mesocosm scale had a rectangular size and covered an effective area of 1.88 m2 with a water retention capacity of 0.206 m3. Two such units were combined together in series for better treatment performance. The VFCW was fabricated in a Reinforced Concrete Cement (RCC) tank below the ground level. The filter media was composed of coarse river sand supported below by coarse Gravel. Three sets were fabricated out of which – The first set was initially planted with locally available grass Phragmites; Second set was planted with Calamus at the rate of 10-12 plants per sq. m. Third set no plantation was there and considered as control. In all the three sets, inlet and outlet arrangements were placed at top and bottom of the RCC tank respectively. The diluted Gomutra (1:4) was kept in dosing tank and allowed to pass through the VFCW; treated effluent was collected from each outlet. Phragmites bed NH4 –N and NO3 -N gets reduced by 71.6% and 51.96% respectively from inlet to outlet. Calamus bed causes a maximum reduction of 75.58% of NH4 –N from inlet to outlet and for NO3 –N it shows a reduction of 80.35% from inlet to outlet. The control reduces NH4 –N by 13.94% and NO3 –N by 14.28% from inlet to outlet. The VFCW results established that This system is highly efficient for Gomutra treatment. Calamus bed system is most efficient in treatment of Gomutra in comparison to all three systems.

Chemistry
Dissipation behavior of mancozeb, a widely used dithiocarbamte fungicide, applied under field condition on tomato at recommended dose was undertaken under greenhouses and open field during October and March in Souss-Massa area (south of Morocco) climatic condition. Residue levels of mancozeb were determined by using a simple method consisting in a hot acid digestion of the whole sample to evolve carbon disulfide (CS2), which is further quantified by spectrophotometry. Degradation rate in both open field and greenhouse followed first order kinetic. Half lives were 1.77 and 1.3 days in open field and in greenhouse were 2.0 and 1.8 days for October and March period respectively. Based on the observation reported, a pre harvested interval of at least three days after pesticide application at recommended dose may be suggested.

Evaluation of Tissue Culture Seedlings for Their Genetic Fidelity and Virus Indexing in Sugarcane
D, Adilakshmi
M, Suresh
N, Rajkumar
K, Jayachandra
P, Bebi
Plant tissue culture technique is a powerful tool for rapid and large scale multiplication of virus free seed material. Clonal fidelity of the in vitro raised plants was carried out using RAPD. A total of fifteen primers were used for detecting polymorphism by RAPD analysis and the results revealed that all the tissue culture plants were grouped into one cluster and indicated that all the tissue culture developed plantlets are true-to-type. There are no somaclonal variations and are genetically identical with the mother plant. Virus indexing through ELISA indicated that the tissue culture developed seedlings does not contain the protein particles of ScMV and are free from the viral disease. The wells coated with leaf samples with suspected ScMV infection (97 A 85, C3) gave visual confirmation by yellow colour change, with OD 405 values of 0.526. As the reading is 2 times more than the negative control (OD 0.215) we can presume mild infection of mosaic in the test sample with lower titre of ScMV. All the ScMV +ve controls showed significant higher OD values of more than 2.515 confirming the earlier observations. Thus, viral detection using DAS-ELISA method can be used for detection and indexation in large scale sugarcane crop especially for in vitro regenerated plants with relatively cheaper cost and faster for supplying virus free seedlings to farming community in a large scale.

Electrochemical reduction; p-nitrophenol; Cyclic Voltammetry; TLC.; IR spectra
Chemistry
The work reports a comparative electrochemical behavior study of p-nitrophenol using GC and Pt electrode. For this purpose, Cyclic Voltammetry was employed, where the redox mechanisms could be compared for reduction processes of p-nitrophenol by analysis of the voltammetric responses. Voltammetric curves of p-nitrophenol in aqueous-methanol medium on different pH using B.R. buffer for various concentrations (0.05mM, 0.1 mM, 0.15mM, 0.2mM) and scan rates at GC and Pt electrode was obtained. The very complicated reduction of p-nitrophenol revealed three reduction peaks out of which two peaks are irreversible and one peak is reversible.Equation 1HOC6H4NO2 + e- HOC6H4NO2∙-Equation 2HOC6H4NO2∙- + HOC6H4NO2 HOC6H4NO2H. + -OC6H4NO2Equation 3HOC6H4NO2H. + HOC6H4NO2∙- HOC6H4NO2H- + HOC6H4NO2Equation4HOC6H4NO2H- + HOC6H4NO2 HOC6H4NO + -OC6H4NO2 +H2O The result obtained from GC electrode proved to be better than Pt electrode. Hence the GC electrode can be considered a suitable tool for determination of redox mechanism of p-nitrophenol.

Information and Mathematics
Stochastic impulsive differential equations with Markovian switching have been applied extensively in various areas including ecology systems, neural networks, and control systems, and stability analysis is one fundamental premise of their applications. For two categories of Markovian switched impulsive stochastic differential functional equations with unbounded delays, this paper investigates the pth moment exponential stability by adopting stochastic Lyapunov stability theory and stochastic analysis approach. Several criteria on pth moment exponential stability have been acquired. In the proposed model, the time-varying coefficients and the hybrid impulsive effects are considered simultaneously. It can be seen that the criteria derived in this paper are more concise and the conditions are easier to verify compared with those existing results based on Razumikhin theory. Finally, two examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the theoretical findings.

Bacillus licheniformis
Pollution from industrial effluents and anthropogenic sources is becoming a very big ecological problem in Nigeria. A typical example of such pollutants is cyanide which can be degraded to a less toxic compound by some microorganism. Some facultative anaerobic bacteria such as Bacillus licheniformis utilizes cyanide as a substrate for survival in industrial contaminated and polluted ecosystem. This study screened for bacterial from industrial effluents in Ilorin that can synthesize rhodanese, an enzyme that can degrade cyanide to less toxic substance.Bacillus licheniformis was isolated and biochemically characterized. Rhodanese was partially purified using 85% ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on Sephadex CM-50. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined on a gel filtration column (Sephadex G-100) and finally on Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) were determined. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance and results were considered significant at p<0.05.The result of this study showed that the optimum growth temperature for B. licheniformis was 35oC at a pH 9.0 while the highest duration time for the synthesis of rhodanese was 39 hours. Potassium cyanide (KCN) and casein were the best carbon and nitrogen sources. The B. licheniformis isolate synthesizes rhodanese that had a specific activity of 13.63 RU/mg, with a purification fold of 5.19, a percentage yield of 13.96% and an estimated native molecular weight of 34.44 kDa. The apparent Km for KCN and Sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) were determined to be 32.9 mM and 21.0 mM respectively while their Vmax were 5.6 RU /ml/min and 6.4 RU /ml/min respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of partially purified enzyme were 8.0 and 50oC respectively. The enzyme showed high stability at 50oC for 30 minutes. The enzyme showed specificity at 6.78 RU/ml/min and equally showed specificity for Na2S2O3 while it was inhibited by other sulphur containing compounds such as 2-mercaptoethanol (2-MCPE), ammonium persulphate (NH4)2S2O8), and sodium metabisulphite (Na2S2O5). The enzyme activity was not inhibited by metal ions such as (K+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Sn2+ and Na+) at 1 mM and 10 mM and this was not significant (p>0.05).The high level of expression of rhodanese in B. licheniformis suggests that the enzyme possess functional cyanide detoxification mechanism, a bioremediation process for the survival of both plants and animals in the environment. Microbial enhancement of this kind is recommended to help in reduction of toxic materials from industrial effluents.

Four WSF (Multi-K, NP2O5K2O, NP2O5K2O and NP2O5K2O) were tested against control (water). Plant height, no. of branches, pods as well as seed yield was found to increase with the applications of WSFs. Data also revealed that maximum plant height (162.13cm), no. of branches (27.21/plant), no. of pods (1460.49/plant) and seed yield (10.37q/h) were recorded with the foliar application of NP2O5K2O (15-15-30) against the minimum plant height (146.03cm), no. of branches (21.73/plant), no. of pods (915.46/plant) and seed yield (5.50q/h) in untreated plots. The same treatment i.e. NP2O5K2O (15-15-30) also recorded highest net return (Rs. 3.1lakh/h) as well as cost benefit ratio (1:4.78), and therefore may be recommended for seed production of cabbage.

From N,N'-bis(phenylmethylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, substitution of a nitro group on each aromatic ring and its systematic displacement in the positions ortho, meta and para positions allowed to synthesize a homogeneous series of positional isomers. These four symmetric α-diimine Schiff bases derived from cis and trans racemic mixture of cyclohexanediamine have been characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR and MS). Antimicrobial screening showed that, unlike N, N'-bis (phenylmethylene) cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, the bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus CIP is sensitive to the other three compounds with MIC values of 93.75μg/ml, 187.5μg/ml and 375μg/ml. The Candida albicans fungal strain shows resistance to all synthesized compounds, but Candida glabrata is sensitive to the non-substituted N, N'-bis(phenylmethylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and ortho substituted compound with a MIC value of 1500μg/ml.

Physical Sciences
This work presents a study of the influence of temperature on the series and shunt resistance of a silicon solar cell under polychromatic illumination. First, a theoretical study allowed us to give the expression of the density of minority carriers. From this expression of the minority carrier density, we determined the expression of the current density and the photovoltage. The expressions of the short circuit current density and the open circuit voltage were also determined. Under polychromatic illumination and temperature, we find that the short circuit current Icc and the open circuit voltage Vco have quasi-linear behaviour. The results obtained show that the series resistance Rs is of the type with a positive temperature coefficient, while the shunt resistance Rsh is of the type with a negative temperature coefficient.

Nuclear Medicine
The sensitivity of detector mainly depends on two parameters as energy resolution and detection efficiency. In the studies made with radioisotopes, particularly the high detection efficiency allows for conducting high quality medical operations with low radiation doses. While today highly-advanced imaging systems are effectively used in the nuclear medicine studies, the use of some conventional counting systems such as thyroid uptake probe are continued effectively. A NaI(Tl) scintillation counter is used in the thyroid uptake probe for detection of radiation and this detector is one of detector types which is very frequently used in the measurement of gamma rays. In this study, some of parameters leading to the efficiency of thyroid uptake probe was measured by taking its significance mentioned above in consideration. The count rate was calculated based on these results and these count rates were compared with the count rates measured.

The rhizosphere region is rich with the plenty of microorganisms. It may be either pathogenic or non-pathogenic to the plants and animals. Fungi were the ubiquitous organisms present in all types of habitats (Ainsworth et al., 1995).They play a vital role in conversion of waste and degradation (Diana 1994).. There were the previous researchers so far explained more than million fungal species on earth (Barnett et al., 1972). The physcio-chemical parameter was also analyzed. The soil samples were serially diluted and inocualted on the SDA plates. The different species belongs to various groups of fungi such as Ascomycotina, Zygomycotina and Deuteromycotina were identified with the help of relevant literatures. A total of -- taxa belonging to -- genera were isolated, these include one species of Acomycetes, one species of Coelomycetes five species of Zygomycetes and remaining species were Deuteromycetes. Penicillium and species of Aspergillus were also recorded from samples. Basidiomycetes were also identified. The macro nutrients such as N, P and K content were not rich in the samples. There is no proper record so far regarding the fungal in these soil areas along with the soil nutrients. The present study is mainly focused on the mycoflora present in the rhizosphere regions of three different soil of puducherry region based on the macro and micronutrients present in the soil.

This paper deals with building envelope thermal performance through a comparative study of the use of two types of construction materials, such as CEB and cement blocks, in order to introduce the use of double walls in sustainable buildings' construction. The building envelope participates in providing thermal comfort to users and in the optimal management of building energy consumption. This study begins with a survey of public preferences for building materials used in Burkina Faso. The results indicate that 76% of the people surveyed opt for cement blocks over local materials. Concerning the thermal and specific energy performance, three variants of building envelope were studied: CEB walls, cement blocks and the double-wall (CEB + Cement blocks). It appears that the CEB walls are more efficient than the cement block walls. The introduction of double envelopes leads to the thermal resistance of 357.37m².K/W and reduces the heat flow from 85.32% to 90.24% compared to the wall made with CEB and cement blocks. This approach, which consists in mixing construction materials for good thermal insulation, allows improving the envelope thermal performance and the overall building energy performance.

Loss of pregnancy either naturally or by medical termination is a destructive experience to the couple, especially those experiencing recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL). It is important to rule out the genetic aspect as the cause of pregnancy wastages. This retrospective study aimed to determine the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and its various cytogenetic types in the samples received by Metropolis Healthcare laboratory, Mumbai. This study was conducted on the samples referred for chromosomal karyotyping with a history of Bad Obstetric History (BOH). The couples who had an experience of two or more pregnancy losses were included in this study. Out of the 2102 samples referred, chromosomal abnormality was recorded in 384 (18.27%) cases. Out of chromosomal abnormal cases, 126 (5.99%) patients had reciprocal translocations out of which 27 (21.43%) were Robertsonian translocations. Inversion of chromosome 9 was seen in 81 (21.09%) patients, while inversion Y in 28 (7.29%) patients, and polymorphic variation like increase in length of satellite or heterochromatic region recorded in almost 149 (38.30%) patients. Cytogenetic evaluation of couples with recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL) is very important as after knowing the parental chromosomal pattern appropriate counseling can be offered to know the risk of recurrence, option of prenatal diagnosis and also opens the option of reproduction in some cases. This will also help them to have a cytogenetically healthy baby. Since the cytogenetic abnormalities are usually familial, the close blood relatives may also be benefited once the abnormality is detected.

Root (wilt) disease (RWD), caused by phytoplasma, is a major problem causing decreased coconut productivity in southern districts of Kerala and its bordering districts of Tamil Nadu in India. The disease is non-curable but its incidence can be reduced by propagating seedlings from nuts of disease free palms. The disease free palms are selected by ELISA test which uses antiserum obtained from rabbits against purified phytoplasma extract containing 29, 28 and 18.5 K Da proteins. With an objective of developing a simpler and easier biochemical test than ELISA for RWD detection in coconut , direct SDS PAGE profiles of soluble proteins from crude leaf extracts of healthy and diseased palms of West Coast Tall (susceptible) , Chowghat Green Dwarf and Malayan Green Dwarf (high degree resistant) cultivars were evaluated for differences in intensities of protein bands with molecular masses corresponding closest to the purified phytoplasma extract proteins. It was found that the 31.2, 37.3, 16.9 and 13.8 KDa bands in WCT cultivar, 31 and 40.6 KDa in CGD cultivar and 29.9 and 37.1 KDa bands in the MGD cultivar showed consistent differences in intensities and/or presence or absence of certain bands between healthy and diseased palms. Correlations and path analysis relationship between intensity of different protein bands and ELISA value also showed significant association of one or two of these marker bands with ELISA values in each cultivar. The SDS PAGE profiles of crude leaf extracts could be used to effectively distinguish healthy and diseased RWD palms in these three cultivars.

Safety Management with Chemical Mapping Techniques- A Study
Sen, Ridima
In the U.S., only a small portion of the chemicals utilized as a part of buyer items have been tried for human wellbeing impacts. What's more, with the present atmosphere in Congress, it feels improbable that we'll see any genuine change of the country's horribly obsolete synthetic security rules at any point in the near future. Meanwhile, researcher Thomas Hartung might have made the following best thing. In the least difficult terms, Hartung and associates took what is the world's biggest and wealthiest database of substance danger examination — a database created as per the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations — and composed a PC program that uses that information to foresee the poisonous quality of chemicals for which there is practically no security information.
