Abstract

Ayurveda is the science which deals with miraculous effects of simple medications. Most of the medicines are available around us easily and buttermilk including butter called as Udshwita is very oftenly present in our routine life. It can become beneficial in severe diseases like facial paralysis if taken continuously. It is beneficial in different disorders along with other drugs. It is prepared by continous churning of Dadhi (curd). It cleanses Srotsas (channels) of body so clears pathway for Rasa (plasma) to nourish body . It is compared with Rasayana in Ayurveda because of its tendency to fight against diseases and oxidation of cells. If it is taken along with proper methodology, body cells regain strength and vitality. Most of our ancient sages wrote about the benefits of Udshwita. Here an important view is elaborated to fight against a very dangerous disease called as facial paralysis which halts everyone to do daily chores in busy life. Butter was said to be harmful for heart but now –a – days it is said to be beneficial for heart. It is known as nectar for body. Liver functions are also improved for proper detoxification of organs. Uric acid formation become normal. It helps to grow bones. In case of digestion problems it is advised to drink buttermilk. Without Bhaishajya Kalpana it is not possible to prepare different types of preparations. Accuracy in proportion of Dadhi and water is essential for positive results.

Abstract

Lipases are aqueous soluble enzymes that stimulate the hydrolysis of insoluble substrates (long hydrocarbon chain fat/oil) into their components. Lipases are being extracted from several species of animals, plants, fungi, yeast and bacteria. Microbial lipases are a main category of biotechnologically important enzymes, because of their versatile properties (tolerance to extremes of pH, temperature, metal ions and organic solvents) and easiness of bulk production. Lipases of microbial origin are broadly varied in their enzymatic features and specificity to substrate, which make them especially important for applications in the industries. Amylases and proteases have dominated the world enzyme market but in last few years interest of industries has been shifted towards microbial lipases because of their versatile functions. Their applications in our daily life are rising gradually. Thus lipases are today the enzyme choice for biotechnologist, organic chemist, process engineers, pharmacists, microbiologist, biophysicists and biochemist.

Abstract

Changes in temperature, disturbances on rainfall pattern, time of growth, flowering and maturation of plants, or any other environmental variation over the entire season can have serious impact on plants associated biodiversity, which in turn may alter the abundance, diversity and foraging behavior of pollinators. For any successful pollination interactions, there is a need of occurrence of synchronous biological events such as insect emergence, their foraging behavior and date of onset of flowering. In this paper, efforts have been made to review the effects of climate change on the phenology of plants and activities of insect pollinators by compiling the available information from research papers, articles, reports and literature in chronological order.

Abstract

We aimed to assess the possible effects of hydroethanolic extract of Costus afer on long-lasting cognitive and affective disorders due to an early life neuroinflammation induction with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). At postnatal day 14(PND 14), neonate rats were exposed with single dose to LPS (250 µg/kg, i.p.), and 24 h later treated with either Costus afer extract (400 mg/kg, p.o.) or a reference drug melatonin (10 mg/kg, i.p) for two weeks. At PND 90, cognitive abilities as well as affective status were examined, followed by the biomarkers assay in the brain. As results, the Costus afer extract significantly prevented the neonatal exposure to LPS-induced recognition and working spatial memory deficits in adulthood. Furthermore, the extract of Costus afer attenuated anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors caused by the LPS. Otherwise, the treatment with Costus afer extract significantly inhibited the lipide membrane peroxidation through a reduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) level as well as the decrease of nitric oxide (NO) content, mainly in the hippocampus. Overall, the treatment with Costus afer extract seems to be a bit more efficient than that of the melatonin. Our findings suggest that Costus afer possesses some neuroprotective effects.
However, additional pharmacological approaches are needed before promising Costus afer as effective therapeutic

Abstract

Tecomella undulata (Local name-Rohida) which belongs to the family Bignoniaceae is a socially acceptable and economically valuable tree species of the arid regions and native to the Indian subcontinent. It is a well-known multipurpose tree species that has been over exploited for timber and medicines from its natural habitat. As a result, most Rohida genetic resources has already been depleted in the wild habitat. Therefore, to conserve the species tree improvement programmes are underway in different organisations. Under tree Improvement research on Rohida, work has been majorly carried out on reproductive biology, selection of candidate plus trees, establishment of progeny trials, vegetative propagation, and diversity studies using molecular markers. The report consolidates the status of the work on tree improvement and propagation of this important tree species done so far.

Abstract

Naturally occurring pigments in plants are responsible for giving eye capturing colors to them. The major groups of plant pigments like chlorophylls, carotenoids, betalains and flavonoids not only impart colors which attract pollinators but also have beneficial health effects when consumed in diet. Plant pigments have been used as impeccable natural source of color. A remarkable work has been done to understand the chemical and technological aspects of natural plant pigments, mainly anthocyanins, betalains, chlorophylls, and carotenoids. These plant pigments are related to a broad spectrum of health-promoting benefits. These natural compounds are also used as indispensable components in many pharmaceutical, medicinal and cosmetic product manufacturing industries. The wide range of biological usage of these pigmentsdemand further confirmation by performing cell culture, animal model research supported by human studies.

Abstract

Metagenomics of bioslurry obtained from biogas plant was carried out Next-Generation DNA sequencing. The DNA of the associated bacterial organisms was extracted using a ZYMO Research DNA extraction kit (Quick-gDNATMMiniPrep). They were sequenced by Next Generation Sequencing Technique to determine the nucleotide sequence of all microorganisms present in the sample using automated PCR cycle- Genome Sequencer™ FLX System from 454 Life Sciences™ and Roche Applied.Sequence analysis and alignment was performed using Vecton NTI suite 9 (InforMax, Inc.). The partial 16S rRNA gene sequences generated and subjected to BLAST analysis, and compared to GenBank database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information revealed the presence of Clostridium thermocellum, Clostridium tetani, Spirochaeta caldaria, Acinetobacterbaumanni, Stenotrophomonasmaltophilic, Prevotellaruminocola, Parabacteriumdistasonics, Clostridium cellulovorans, Mahellaaustraliensis, Ethanoligenensharbinense, Odoribactersplanchnicus, Tannerallaforsythis, Clostridium stercorarium, Gramellaforsetti, GeobacillusthermoleovoransHalibacteriummodesticaldum and Veillonellaparvula, as the bacteria involved in biogas production. This implies that biogas production is mediated by these species of anaerobic bacteria.

Abstract

Characterization of cow dung microorganisms was carried out for determining its potential to degrade potent and widely accumulated petrochemical hydrocarbon Benzene. Physico-chemical and microbial parameters were studied and ten cultivable bacteria were isolated and identified. Out of these, five of the isolates survived at increasing concentrations of Benzene up to 100mg/L. Later, these five isolates were taken as a consortium and bioremediation of benzene at varying concentrations at 50, 100, 200 and 400mg/L was carried out. Benzene was found to be completely degraded at 50mg/L and 100g/L concentration within 96 hr and 144hr whereas, 99 percent degradation was observed for 200 mg/L and up to 69.2 percent for 400mg/L of benzene. These findings help to have an insight about indigenous source of biomass (like cow dung) and its effectiveness to develop an environmental friendly treatment technology for remediation of hydrocarbons like benzene.

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the restoration of cardiac output and pulmonary ventilation following cardiac arrest and apnea by using artificial respiration and manual closed chest compressions or open cardiac massage. Worldwide, there are greater than 17.5 million cardio vascular deaths each year, and the prevalence of coronary heart disease is increasing. Thus the assistance provided by the health care team requires speed, efficiency, scientific knowledge and technical skills to perform the needed procedure.The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practice towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation among nurses working in Wolaita Sodo teaching hospital, Southern Ethiopia.A descriptive cross sectional study designed was used. Self-administered structured questionnaire conducted among a total 98 nurses working in Wolaita sodo teaching hospital by using Simple random sample (lottery method) technics. Data was collected from April 01, 2017 to April 30, 2017. Supervision had done on daily basis. The Data were first checked manually for completeness and then coded and entered in to EpiData version 3.1. The entered data were transferred to SPSS version 20. The data were cleaned by visualizing, calculating frequencies and sorting. Frequencies and proportions were computed for description of the study population. Among 98 participants 55 (56%) are BSc nurse and the rest 43 (44%) are diploma nurse. of all participants 44 (44.9%) those who have training and the rest 54(55.1%) are not trained on CPR. The untrained participants have scored poorly as compared to trained participants in theoretical knowledge and practice of CPR And Most of the participants of both trained and untrained group were having very good attitude towards CPR. Knowledge and practice skills of CPR were not adequate in participants. A significant Portion of trainees do not acquire adequate knowledge in a single session of training. An organized curriculum for BLS and its protocolized training is the need of the hour in medical education.

Abstract

Research in recent years has proved “phytoremediation” as a promising technology for clean-up of petroleum contaminated soils. The present study has been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of grass Pennisetum pedicellatum as a potential plant for phytoremediation of organic and heavy metal contaminants. Seed germination and root/shoot biomass is one of the commonly used bioassay for eco-toxicity evaluation and selection of the plants for their prospective use in phytoremediation. The effect of PAH compounds (anthracene and phenanthrene); heavy metals (Zn,Cd and Pb) separately and in combination on the seed germination of Pennisetum pedicellatum was investigated using PAH and heavy metal spiked soil at the concentrations of 25,50,75 and 100 mg/kg, for a period of 30 days along with unspiked soil as control. It was observed that Pennisetum pedicellatum could efficiently tolerate and survive at a high concentration of 100mg/kg of PAH compounds, however a constant decline in the germination rate was observed if the same was compared to control. Higher concentration of contaminant especially heavy metals showed negative effect on root-shoot biomass of the plant, root length was more affected by metals than shoot length. Toxicity of heavy metals towards seed germination and elongation trial was Cd>Pb>Zn. The research findings suggest that heavy metal contamination proved to be more toxic to the plant than co-contamination (heavy metal and organic compounds) and organic contamination alone. Based on these results Pennisetum pedicellatum is recommended for follow-up investigations which could further develop the application of phytoremediation of petroleum contaminated soils.

Abstract

One of the most important methods which specifies the biological functionalities of a gene is by running a sequencing or similarity search on the existing protein and DNA sequence databases. The most famous tool for performing nucleotide sequencing is the NCBI’s Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) or its different various. This web based tool provides an alternative to the present BLAST tool, providing a faster access to the analytics of the protein structure with a more interactive interface.

Abstract

Enhancing the communication between the human and the machine is the core purpose of the HCI field (Human Machine Interaction), Identifying human emotion is an important aspect of enhancing this communication. This work will identify 10 distinctive emotions, the emotions will be measured by Dominance, Valance, and Arousal. The classification will run five different models with respect to Riemannian Geometry to enhance the filtering. The EEG signal is being collected in a form of two sessions per subject, one session for training purposes the other for testing, then the data is filtered then the model was trained to give an accuracy between 50% to 70%. SAM assessment technique has been conducted to tag the data.

Abstract

Ultrasound is a sound energy emanating from vibrating body with frequency between 20 hertz – 20000 hertz. Ultrasound possesses wide applications in industry and medical field. Ultrasound devices are frequently used in medical diagnosis without any radiation exposure to the patients. These devices consist of a transmitter and a receiver (called transducer), pulse generator, amplifiers, the control unit for focusing, digital processors and a display screen. It plays a vital role in the examination of abdominal, cardiac, maternity, gynecological, urological and cerebrovascular, breast, pediatric and preoperational planning and post-operational surveillance. The major applications of ultrasound in medical diagnosis are emphasized in this paper.

Abstract

The study was conducted at Falgore Game Reserve in Kano state, Nigeria with the objective of making inventory woody species diversity, and to determine the vegetation structure of woody plants in terms of richness. The survey was carried out between the months of March to November, 2016. Total of 12km2 was used for the Site Selection and six plots were utilized from the three sites selected for the study. Growth parameters (Species Height, Stem diameter and Canopy Crown), Soil pH and Soil bulk density were studied. 49 different plant species belonging to (20) families, while the total of (549) Woody Species Vegetation where enumerated. The data collected were analyzed using Shannon – Weiner’s diversity index, and species richness was calculated using Menhinik’s index. Results from the diversity, richness and plant growth parameters (Plant height), Site 1A had more species diversity and species richness compare to the others. Site 3B had the highest density moisture of 1.89g/cm2 and site 3A is more acidic (soil pH of 5.96).

Abstract

Coffee processing byproducts are studied in this work for their valuable components. Spent coffee grounds (SCG) and coffee silverskin (CSS) from Coffea arabica species were investigated for the determination of ethanol/water extracts bioactive molecules of interest. Phenolic compounds evaluation revealed that SCG enclose important amounts of polyphenols (8.425 mg GAE.g-1 DW) and flavonoids (2.801 mg CE.g-1 DW). Nevertheless, the highest levels of tannin (3.45 mg CE.g-1 DW) were obtained with CSS. The total antioxidant activity of SCG was equal to 8.267 mg GAE.g-1 DW, the DPPH test showed an IC50 value of 18 ?g.ml-1 and the inhibition of ?-carotene bleaching of IC50 was 600 ?g.ml-1. While, the CSS showed better reducing power with an IC50 value of 120 ?g.ml-1. Therefore, SCG proved to be more interesting than CSS regarding its antioxidant potentiality and its richness in phenolic compounds to be incorporated as food or therapeutic additive.

Abstract

Catfish cultivation produces aquaculture wastes containing organic matter. Organic material is a collection of complex organic compounds that have undergone a process of decomposition by decomposers, both in the form of humus and mineralized inorganic compounds. To reduce the water of organic material in catfish (Clariasgariepinus) maintenance media and aquaculture ponds, a technology for cultivation management are needed, one of these technologies is bioremediation using Bacillus subtilis as bioremediation. This study aims to determine and analyze the potential of Bacillus subtilis in reducing levels of TOM (Total Organic Matter) in vitro and in vivo. This research was conducted in February 2019 at the UB MIPA FMIPA Laboratory (in vitro) and in the catfish pond UPT PTPBP2KP Kepanjen (in vivo). The study used a factorial complete randomized design (Factorial RAL) with the addition of Bacillus subtilisfour treatments (K = Control, D1 = 100 ml, D2 = 10 ml and D3 = 1 ml) at 24th, 48th, 72nd, 96th and 120thhours, consisting of three replications. The results obtained from this study indicate that TOM concentrations in treatments D1, D2 and D3 were lower than controls. This shows that Bacillus subtilis can reduce TOM from catfish ponds. The best treatment was found in W5D2 treatment as bioremediation of catfish organic pond water with the remaining TOM 16.23% with an efficiency value of 84%. The results of this study were also supported by measurements of water quality namely dissolved oxygen ranging from 1.83 - 3.50 mg/L, pH ranged from 6.8 to 7.6, temperatures ranged from 270C -280C and ammonia ranged from 0.29 -2.90 mg/L.

Abstract

The presence of dye effluents in surface water is becoming a severe environmental and public health problem. Biosorption is potentially an attractive technology for treatment of wastewater for removing color constituents, heavy metal, etc., from industrial wastewater. Natural plant materials and agricultural wastes are applied in Biosorption technology to remove color constituents from aqueous media. They offer an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical and physical remediation and decontamination techniques. In this project we use Cynodon dactylon (Arugampul) to remove Thymol blue.

Abstract

Microcystins (MCs) are cyanotoxins produced mainly by the Microcystis species and are reported to be hepatotoxic. The toxicity on exposure to MCs was reported worldwide in fish, animals and in humans for over a century. The findings of investigation revealed that about 100 known variants of MCs till date and of them the most toxic and widely distributed MC is Microcystin-LR (MCLR). Epidemiological studies is linked the exposure to MCs (MC-LR) with high incidence of liver cancer (hepatotoxic) and a potent tumour promoter. The microcystins biomarker for microcystins toxicity prediction in human domestic and wild animal has been reported to detect MCs toxicity. The biomarkers for biochemical alterations in the human and animal cells also suggests tools to be develop, validate existing methods to detect MCs and its biomarkers in body fluids of living beings. The microcystin toxin, biotransformation and oxidative stress parameters have been most extensively investigated. The present review deals with the emerging use of MCs as Biomarkers for toxicity prediction and recent development in this area.

Abstract

Caesarean Section is the commonest obstetric operative procedure Worldwide. When used appropriately Cesarean Section can improve infant and/or maternal outcomes. this study intended to assess the magnitude and factors associated with Caesarean Section in Lemlem Karl Hospital. The aim of this study was to asses theMagnitude of Caesarean Section and associated factors in Lemlem Karl General Hospital, Northern Ethiopia, 2016.A cross-sectional study design was conducted inLemlem Karl Hospital in Northern Ethiopia from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016. The collected data was checked for its completeness; entered, edited, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Crosstabs, 95%CI and P-value < 0.05 were used to examine the association between dependent and independent variables using logistic regression. We found that the magnitude of Cesarean Section was 28.8%. Parthographstatus(AOR;0.112,95%CI(0.041,0.307)) and ANC follow up(AOR;0.442,95%CI(0.250,0.849)) were found to have association with cesarean delivery. In this research, the magnitude of the Cesarean Section was high. It is possible to decrease the Caesarean Sectionby increasing the antenatal care coverage and universal use of partograph for all labors.

Abstract

SEAWEEDS were found to contain lot of nutrients when consumed by coastal cattles gives them immense immune power. This feature of seaweeds was used for the preparation of feed pellet for cattle consumption. The collected seaweeds (Gracilaria edulis, Chaetomorpha linum, Enteromorpha intestinalis) were tested for the presence of phytochemicals as well as the quantitiy of protein and reducing sugars. It was observed that the presence of alkaloids, tannin, steroids, cardiac glycoside, Phenol, Terpenoid, carbohydrate and Flavanoid were present in almost all the extracts. Among the 3 seaweeds Gracilaria edulis showed maximum number of active constituents. Also G. edulis showed maximum quantity of protein and carbohydrate when compared to other 2 species. The antioxidant activity showed concentration dependent pattern. The G. edulis obtained same antioxidant effect as that of Ascorbic acid at a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. Future research shall be focused on replacement of active ingredients in the marketed feed formulation for cattle with one of seaweeds to get a better nutrient content.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunist bacterium that is pathogenic for immunocompromised humans. It is very difficult to control the infections caused by this organism due to the formation of antibiotic-resistant biofilms. Multidrug-resistant strains often arise due to the presence of transferable parts in the genome of P. aeruginosa. Genomic changes and other factors affect the efflux pump systems, which function for the exclusion of toxic substances from the bacterial cells and confer antibiotic resistance. Out of many efflux pumps present in this bacterium, MexEF-OprN is responsible for conferring chloramphenicol resistance to P. aeruginosa. In this review article, the role of different factors, regulators, and signals which affect chloramphenicol resistance in P. aeruginosa are discussed.

Abstract

Aquaculture has been considered as an option to cope with the world food demand and India is the 2nd largest producer of aquatic animals globally. Though the Indian fisheries and the aquaculture serves as a major sector in food production it also has its own negative impact on the fishes and the environment. One of the environmental impacts that receives the most attention is the issue of nutrient depletion and effluent buildup. Ammonia is one of the major compound present in the effluent which results in toxicity. For every ton of fish, aquaculture operations produce between 42 and 66 kilograms of nitrogen waste. In the present study, the recirculating of aquaculture wastewater is done by converting the ammonia (NH3+) content to harmless nitrogen gas (via nitrite)with the aid of Nitrifying and Denitrifying bacteria which was isolated from the rhizosphere soil. Both the cell free supernatant and cells has the ability of reducing ammonia. The wastewater was collected from the aquaculture industry, Madurai, which contains 17?g/mL of ammonia, BOD –42 mg/L and COD – 96 mg/L. The ability of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria on the simulated aquaculture waste water was analyzed. For nitrification, the cell free supernatant reduces 96.35% ammonia at 90th min. On the other hand, the cells reduce 90.98% ammonia at 210th min. In case of denitrification process, the cells reduce 30% nitrate content at 90th min whereas the cell free supernatant reduces 67.6% nitrate content at 180th min. The ability of immobilized crude enzyme and the cells were studied periodically. The aquaculture wastewater was treated and the characteristics of the treated simulated water were analyzed. The treated water can be used for irrigation purposes.

1. Respond Promptly to Invitations

When you receive an invitation to review, the article’s abstract will help you decide whether it’s within your area of interest and expertise. Remember to respond promptly or else you might delay the process.

2. Show Integrity

Keep the contents of any manuscripts you’re reviewing confidential. You would expect the same of others reviewing your own work. What’s more, if you’ve submitted similar research of your own, or if you’ve reviewed the article for a different journal, let the editor know there’s a conflict of interest. Agreeing to a review for personal gain is not the done thing.

3. Stay Within Scope

When commenting, make sure your remarks stay within the scope of the paper and don’t veer off subject. If you’re unclear of the scope, editorial policy, presentation and submission requirements, speak to the editor or read the Author Guidelines.

4. Be Constructive

Your review should ultimately help the author improve the paper. So make sure you offer some constructive feedback, even if your recommendation ends up being to reject.

5. Allocate Enough Time

Carefully analyzing and commenting on a manuscript can take a good chunk of time. Make sure you have enough time available when taking on a review.

6. Be Consistent

Structure your comments by numbering them. It makes the editor’s life a lot easier. You can also divide them into major and minor issues to help authors prioritize corrections. Keep comments to authors separate from the confidential ones to editors. But make sure your comments to authors correspond to your assessment on the confidential review and checklists.

7. Focus on the Research

If you’re reviewing a paper that’s in English but wasn’t written by a native speaker, it’s good to be tolerant and point out elements that change the meaning, rather than commenting on the quality of their English.

8. Look at the Conclusion First

The conclusion will give you a good idea whether the research is an exciting development within its own field.

9. Check Robustness of Facts

Editors find it useful if you comment on the number of replicates, controls and statistical analyses. Strong statistics are crucial to determining whether the outcome is robust.

10. Give Credit Where It’s Due

If a paper you’re reviewing is really good and an excellent addition to the existing literature, don’t be afraid to say so.

Abstract

The POCSO (Protection of Children Sexual Offence), 376 (sexual assault),302(murder) cases are on a rise in India and so are the cases where men are falsely implicated for the same. Many cases go unreported owing to the social stigma attached. There have been cases where women misused these laws for personal gains. Mixtures of body fluids and/or tissues from a male and female are frequently encountered with sexual assault casework and other violent crimes. These mixed samples often contain trace quantities of male DNA present in a large background of female DNA. Typical samples can include vaginal swabs containing a small number of sperm cells, body swabs from female victims of oral assaults, and fingernail scrapings/clippings from female victims of violent assaults. Standard autosomal STR analysis may be unable to detect the minor male contributor in these types of samples, while the 17 Y-STR loci techniques can routinely detect a minor male contributor present at less than 1:1000. In POCSO sexual assault cases the minor victims becomes a wide range of target by accused. In such cases rape cum murder also becomes a new fashion of psycho mind accused to destroy the evidence. We present a similar case study where the crime showed signs of violence. The male-specificity makes the Y chromosome especially useful in cases of male/female cell admixture, namely in sexual assault cases. On the other hand, the haploidy and patrilineal inheritance complicates the interpretation of a Y-STR match, because male relatives share for several generations an identical Y-STR profile. The presence of Y-peak on Amelogenin locus in Identifier STRs in vaginal swabs of victim raised doubt of case being positive but Y-Filer STR helped in distinguishing the male contributor from the alleged accused. This conclusion strongly indicates the power of Y-STRs in forensic DNA analysis –it not only helps in identification of perpetrator. The Y-filer technique is a powerful tool for the analysis of sexual assault cases that contain a suspect(s). A significant proportion of DNA cases contain a suspect who has been identified by conventional law enforcement techniques. For these cases, the Y-filer technique is a powerful tool that can be used to include or exclude a suspect(s) associated with an investigation.

Abstract

Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PD) is an inherited enzymopathy which is characterized by acute or chronic hemolysis attacks triggered by oxidative stress during infections, contact with chemical, during medication or foods. In a context of nutritional anemia and/or parasitic diseases involving pregnancy or major sickle cell crises, the presence of this enzymopathy poses additional challenges to the blood transfusion. To determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in Niamey, we undertook to conduct a prospective study in 256 blood donors at the National Blood Transfusion Center. G6PD intra erythrocytic was determined by spectrophotometry on the hemolysate of washed red blood cells. Blood donors aged 18-65 years, having satisfied prior medical consultation and which have a greater or equal hemoglobin to 12 g/dl were selected as part of this study. The average age of donors was 32 years old. The deficit is estimated at 15.7%, including 9.7% of the total deficit to 6% partial deficit. Subjects deficient male G6PD accounted for 87.5% against 12.5% for the female sex. The average activity of G6PD was 2.9 ± 0.4 IU/g Hb in deficient subjects against 11.7 ± 0.3 IU/g Hb for the non deficient. Means Hb of normal subjects, partially and totally deficient subjects were respectively 15.3 g/dl, 14.8 g/dl and 14.3 g/dl (P = 0.7). The family donation represented 61.5% and the donor parental consanguinity rate was 21%. As G6PD deficiency was higher in the donor population, targeted screening blood bags could be considered when they are intended for certain categories of patients.

Abstract

Tomatoes are used extensively in the kitchens worldwide. These are basically used to enhance the flavor and also used as the coloring agent. Tomatoes are rich source of carotenoids, flavonoids and various other antioxidants. The red color imparted by tomatoes is mainly because of a pigment named lycopene. It is believed that lycopene has a role in managing numerous bodily functions like cell proliferation, cell to cell communication etc. Recent studies showed that lycopene can be used as the preventive measure of prostate cancer and also holds therapeutic importance to control various cancers in early stages. This research has been focused to extract lycopene from pretreated tomatoes in different conditions. Spray drier was used to prepare tomato powder which is further used as one of the samples to extract lycopene. Results were obtained from mass spectrometry to deduceconditions best suitable for pretreatment to extract maximum lycopene from tomato samples.

Abstract

Both sickle-cell anemia and G6PD deficiency are red blood cell gene abnormalities that cause hemolytic anemia. Their association may have serious consequences. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of such an association at the CNRD of Niamey and the impact of G6PD on sickle-cell anemia patients. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 227 major sickle-cell anemia patients in stationary phase by comparing hematological parameters, free and total bilirubin concentrations, impaired hepatic and splenic functions as well as hospitalization and blood transfusion rates. G6PD intra erythrocytic was determined by spectrophotometry at all sickle cell patients on the hemolysate of washed red blood cells. Findings were analyzed by Epi-info 3.5.4 and the significance level was set at P < 0.05. G6PD was found in 7.08% of sickle-cell anemia patients. SS sickle-cell anemia was the most frequent form of the disease (83.3%). Hb levels as well as reticulocyte rates and MCHC were not significantly different in both groups of major sicklecell anemia patients. But, the level of total bilirubin was significantly high in sickle-cell anemia in case of G6PD deficiency. Though the risk of hospitalization was similar in both groups of patients, sickle-cell anemia patients with G6PD deficiency were more likely to develop hepatomegaly or splenomegaly.

Abstract

The prevalence of measles was 55% in Afar region. Measles vaccination coverage was more than 85% in most of district of the region. But Recurrent here & there measles outbreak was reported. This might be hypothesized that low herd immunity in the community. Expanded programme on immunization is one of systems involved in measles surveillance in Afar region. Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate performance of measles surveillance systems in the Afarregion..Descriptive evaluative study was conducted in Afar region from Feb 15-May 30/ 2017. A total of twenty three (n=23): one region, three districts, ten health centers and nine health posts were included by purposive sampling technique based on their involvement in and relevance to the measles surveillance system. Data was collected by trained nurses (n=12) using structured interviewer administered questionnaire adopted from “Centers of Disease Control (CDCs) Updated Guidelines for the Evaluation of Surveillance Systems.Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20 software. The study revealed that the Performance of surveillance systems core activities relatively were 100% at regional level. But, at district and health facility level were still far from the 80% target. Performance of surveillance systems supportive function at health facility levels were still far from the 80% target, but relatively 100% at regional and district level. Timelines & completeness both at regional and district level was low which was still far from the 80% target. So,the system found to be simple and flexible. It is inadequate completeness and timeliness. There were Poor mechanisms of feedback from central to peripheral health system. System has low stability, which led system to be not very useful and not representative. Predictive value positive found to be low. Surveillance system appears to be not meeting its objectives. Hence, the region should expand a web based reporting system.

Abstract

As the world is becoming more advanced in the field of technology and mankind is backing intensively on various resources like petroleum, metal mines and non-renewable carbon sources, thus the environment is getting devastated by the excessive generation of toxic compounds, either as waste products or by-products. Quite a large number of microbes have the ability to transform these toxic pollutants into easily degradable reduced forms. This review basically aims at tabulating principal characteristics of various microorganisms which possess affinity towards toxic substances based on a number of biotic and abiotic factors like pH, temperature, functional groups, competition and moisture content. It classifies aerobic and anaerobic microbes on the basis of their role in biodegradation of organic, inorganic or radioactive pollutants and summarises different microbes used for reducing major soil, water and petroleum pollutants. Thereafter, it focusses on the bioreactors used majorly for in-situ and ex-situ bioremediation. It finally gives an idea of the prime factors which govern the rate of degradation, knowledge of different metabolic and enzymatic pathways which together can further be used to genetically engineer new strains to effectively reduce various other recalcitrants for a sustainable future.

Abstract

The exploration of rich in sugar residues of carob pod (Ceratonia siliqua) for bioethanol production has been investigated. The main types of feedstocks for the production of bioethanol are raw materials contain different form of fermentable sugar. The aim of this study is to evaluate the bioethanol production in submerged fermentation from carob pods. The extraction of sugars from the carob pod was conducted, achieving very good yields in a short period of time. Saccharomyces sps were isolated from different fruit samples and identified. Among the isolated Saccharomyces sps 01 showed the 20 % , Saccharomyces sps 02 produced 11%, and Saccharomyces sps 03 showed minimum of 9 % of ethanol production. The sugar syrup was allowed to fermentation process with different pH and temperature. At pH 5 showed maximum production compared to other pH condition. The maximum production of ethanol was seen at 30oC compare with different temperatures. The outcome of this experiment reviled that carob pod which is neglected and considered as agro sated can be used for large scale production of bioethanol by using specific yeast strains.

Abstract

G6PD deficiency is a hereditary enzymopathy linked recessive X which can cause chronic or acute hemolytic anemia with severe jaundice risks. Knowledge of this profile very early at birth will have the effect of reducing morbidity and neonatal mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of this deficiency in newborns in Niamey through a cross-sectional descriptive study. G6PD intra erythrocyte of umbilical cord blood was measured by spectrophotometry at the same time as the intra erythrocyte ASAT that was used to estimate the age of the erythrocytes. Two hundred four neonates including 113 male (55.5%) and 91 female (44.5%) were enrolled. The overall prevalence of deficit was estimated at 11.80%. The partial deficit represented 10.3% against 1.5% for the total deficit. The G6PD activity was on average 4.11 ± 0,4UI / g Hb whereas it was 1.7 ± 0.2 U / g Hb in newborns totally deficit and 24, 30 ± 1.2 U / g Hb in newborns without G6PD deficiency. The report G6PD / ASAT in newborns fully and partially deficit were 0.30 and 0.80 respectively. Hb levels in all three groups have no significant difference. The high prevalence of G6PD deficiency in the newborn population justifies the establishment of early screening at birth.

Abstract

The recent review conversed about mutated strain., The new mutated strains of the Corona virus are the mutated strain of Covid 19, the strain - also known as "variant" - is a version of the virus that includes a group of mutations, which means that each mutated strain includes a group of mutations. A mutation is a change in the arrangement of the genetic material in the virus, and some of these mutations may not leave a trace in the virus, but some of them may affect its ability to transmit and infection. There have been previous mutations recorded for the Corona virus, including the English, Brazilian and South African strains., Pfizer has designed a suitcase-sized container that “keeps doses at minus 70 for 10 days, holding 1,000 to 5,000 doses, and needs to be filled with fresh, dry ice within 24 hours, then tracked via GPS until it reaches the desired location, with Not to open it more than twice a day, and for one minute each time,” according to what was quoted today by leaked documents from Pfizer yesterday, and its information indicates that vaccination will not be an easy process, but rather difficult for obstacles, especially since the effectiveness of the vaccine begins 28 days after vaccination.

Abstract

The development of resistance by microorganisms to penicillin G and other ? lactam antibiotics has prompted the search for new ? lactam antibiotics. Microorganisms are an important source of penicillin G acylase (PGA) (EC 3.5.1.11), which hydrolyses penicillins to 6-amino penicillanic acid (6-APA) and 7-amino des-acetoxy cephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA), the ? lactam antibiotic intermediates which are widely used by the pharmaceutical industries as the starting material for the manufacture of several semi synthetic antibiotics. In this study penicillin g acylase producing bacterial strains were isolated from the forest soil in Western Ghats. The isolated bacterial strains were screened for PGA production and the positive strain (RG_PGA 269) showing the highest activity was selected for further studies. The bacterial strain showed 2.22 U/ml enzyme activities. The presence of PGA gene in the isolate was confirmed by PCR using the gene specific primers. Molecular identification of the strain was done by 16 S rRNA gene amplification, sequencing and homology analysis of the sequence using NCBI BLAST. The Phylogenetic analysis of the strain was studied along with selected sequences from database and found that the isolate formed cluster with Bacillus megaterium.

Abstract

Carotenoids are a group of naturally occurring pigments found in fruits and other plant parts. Due to their color and nutritional value, they have many industrial applications and are generally synthesized by micro-organisms. Here in this review, we discussed the history, sources, biosynthetic pathways in various microorganisms, and biotechnology interventions in the production of these industrially important molecules. Carotenoids are synthesized in the chloroplast by the action of a series of nuclear-encoded membrane proteins. These gene products are synthesized in the cytoplasm with precursor polypeptides containing amino-terminal extensions that lead them to the chloroplasts. The biosynthesis of carotenoids has been exhaustively reviewed in this article. This review will accentuate various biotechnological approaches adopted to increase carotenoid accumulation in plants.

Abstract

Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Affecting people of all ages, cancer cuts through society, causing suffering on a global scale. According to the World Health Organization, cancer is responsible for one in six deaths, making it the second most common cause of death globally. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent cause of all liver cancers and constitutes 90% of liver cancers globally. The mortality in HCC is very high; about 7 Lakhs of death due to HCC occur annually and has been estimated to be 3rd common cause of death due to cancers affecting humans. The increasing knowledge of molecular and tumor biology has notably changed cancer treatment paradigms during the past 15 years. Current primary cancer management treatments include surgery, cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, endocrine therapy, and immunotherapy. Despite the endeavors and achievements made in treating cancers during the past decades, resistance to classical chemotherapeutic agents and/or novel targeted drugs continues to be a major problem in cancer therapies. The drug discovery process is very complex and includes an interdisciplinary effort for designing effective and commercially feasible drugs. In pharmaceutical, natural medicine, as well as in other scientific research, computers play a very important role, even in the development of new compounds in the quest for better therapeutic agents. A combination of rational drug design and structural biology leads to the discovery of novel therapeutic agents. For this purpose, the Computer-aided drug design (CADD) Center works with collaboration between structure biologists, biophysicists, and computational scientists for the discovery of new chemical entities. CADD and bioinformatics tools in the field of phytochemicals provide benefits like cost-saving, time to market, in-sight knowledge of drug-receptor interactions, speed up drug discovery and development.

Abstract

Cellulases are the largest class of industrial enzymes produced worldwide because of their potential applications in cotton processing, paper recycling, juice extraction, detergent formulation, animal feed additives and their established uses in agricultural biotechnology and bioenergy production. Though many attempts have happened in the past few decades attempting to enhance the production and activity of cellulases by non molecular approaches (like Optimization of fermentative conditions and strain improvements) which are understood to have limited range of applications; molecular approaches have proved to be the best solution for many limitations faced by the other Biotechnological methods. The present review is an attempt to depict the recent advancements in the molecular approaches used to enhance the production of Bacterial cellulases.

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease whose clinical consequences are airway obstruction. We sensitized rats brown Norwway with allergenic proteins from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der P1 and Der P2) for a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of this disease. Male brown Norway rats (300-400 g) were sensitized by 2 subcutaneous injections with proteins allergens (Der p1 and Der p2) (50 IR/ml) (Stallergenes AS, France) and Al2O3 at days 0 (D0) and 3 (D3), followed at D17 by intratracheal instillation of Der p. Control (C) rats (n=5) underwent the same protocol but with saline solution instead of Der p. Witness (W) rats (n=5) were not submitted to any treatment. At D24, enhanced expiratory pause (Penh), used as an index of airway resistance, was measured using a barometric plethysmograph for conscious animals. At D25, rats were killed, a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed, and isometric contraction was measured on rings isolated from trachea (T), extrapulmonary (EPB) and intrapulmonary bronchi (IPB) using an organ bath system. Maximal contraction (Fmax) and LogEC50 were derived from cumulative concentration response curves to -8 to-3 LogM carbachol (CCh). The parameters measured are: airways resistance, inflammatory cells infiltration in BAL, allergenspecific response, and hyperresponsiveness and hypersensitivity of the airways to muscarinic agonists. In BAL fluid, cellular density was significantly higher in sensitized rats (334 ± 52 cells/?l) versus Control (217 ± 18 cells/?l) and versus Witness (165 ± 52 cells/?l) rats, as was the percentage of eosinophils (S: 8.75 %; C: 1.74 %; W: 0.7 %) and mast cells (S: 0.5 %; C: 0.2 %; W: 0 %). Allergen challenge increased Penh in sensitized rats, but not in Control and Witness rats. In vitro stimulation by Der p induced contraction of trachea, EPB and IPB rings isolated from S, but not C and W rats. In response to metacholine (MCh) challenge, MCh concentration (in LogM) inducing 300 % increase in Penh was significantly lower in sensitized rats (-4.36 ± 0.44) and Control (-3.92 ± 0.54) versus Witness rats (-2.86 ± 0.55). LogEC50 is significantly lower in sensitized rats (-6.22 ± 0.03; versus Control (-5.64 ± 0.02); and Witness rats (-5.23 ± 0.02). Sensitized rats showed (i) in vivo and ex vivo specific bronchoconstriction to allergen stimulation, (ii) in vivo hyperresponsiveness and ex vivo hyperreactivity and hypersensitivity to cholinergic stimulation, and (iii) increased proportion of eosinophils and mast cells in BAL fluid, indicating that such sensitized rats are a relevant model of asthma.

Abstract

The genetic diversity of 25 genotypes of Eucalyptus tereticornis Sm. was analyzed using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with 10 decamer primers. The number of scorable bands for each primer varied from 6(OPA-2) to 14 (M-131), with an average of 10 bands per primer. A total of 96 distinct DNA fragments (bands) were amplified, of which 80 were polymorphic, with172 to 1353 base pairs. The number of amplified bands per genotype varied from 5 to 13 and percentage polymorphism, from 73% to 93% with an average of 83.32%. The mean polymorphic information content (PIC) of RAPD primers was 0.34 and ranged from 0.19 to 0.44. Although genotypes originating from a single provenance tended to fall into the same cluster, those from the same location were dispersed across different clusters.

Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae AB, an ethanol producing strain (3.0 %) was treated with 10%, 15% and 20% ethanol for 30, 60,120 and 180 minute. Only 5.5% colonies isolated by 30 minute. Incubation in 10% ethanol gave higher alcohol production (5.4%) than the parent strain. This strain when incubated in 15% ethanol for 60 minute, then only 4.5% alcohol resistant strains gave higher alcohol production (6.3%). The parent strain on farther exposure to 20% ethanol, there was decreases in alcohol production. Saccharomyces cerevisiae AB 810 an ethanol production strain (6.3%) was incubated at 35 0C, 40 0C and 45 0c temperature for 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. Only 18% colonies isolated by 24 hour incubation at 350C temperature which gave highest ethanol production (6.5%). On further exposure at 45 0C temperature, all the resistant strains were killed, so there was no alcohol production.

Abstract

Introduction: Beetroot, scientifically called Beta vulgaris, is one in every of the accepted plants belonging to the Chenopodiaceae family. It is associate with an erect annual herb with stalk rootstocks. It makes a superb dietary supplement being not solely made in minerals, nutrients, and vitamins; however, it conjointly has distinctive phytoconstituents that have many medicative properties. Several elements of this plant area unit are utilized in a meditative system like an anti-oxidant, anti-depressant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, medicine, diuretic, medicinal drug, and carminative.

Aim of the study: To identify the medicinal plant using plant core barcode (matK and rbcL).

Materials and methods: A sample of the beetroot was collected from the main market of Anand city, Gujarat (INDIA). DNA samples were extracted, and it was amplified using matK and rbcL primer. The amplified product was sequenced at Eurofins Sequencing Lab, Bangalore, India. The sequence was edited manually using Chromatogram explorer. Species identification established by NCBI BLAST and constructing a phylogenetic tree using CLC main workbench.

Results: PCR amplification results gave 100 % success for both the loci and thus confirmed the amplification. BLAST analysis also confirmed the similarity to genus Beta, and phylogenetic tree analysis showed a best close match to identify the plant species.

Conclusion: DNA Barcoding is a reliable tool for species identification. Our result shows that the matK and rbcL proved efficient in identifying the plant species.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bacteriological quality of milk sold in Jimeta metropolis. The bacteriological quality of the milk sold in Jimeta metropolis was assessed by using turbidity test to know the degree of pasteurization of the milk, total bacterial count was undertaking by using pour plate method, most probable number technique was employed for the assessment of coliform bacteria. Bacterial contamination in the untreated milk was ascertained by using methylene blue reductase test. The results of the study revealed that samples for Arewa, Nazir and Admiral’a yoghurt passed the turbidity test because they showed a turbidity value of zero. Out of the nine (9) Kindirmo sample analysed, four (4) satisfied the turbidity test while that of Nono 5 samples satisfied the turbidity test. The plate count for Kindirmo ranges from 3.0x106 CFU/mL to 8.3x107CFU/mL, Nono range from 3.5x106 CFU/mL to 8.9x107CFU/mL and Madara ranges from 3.3x106 CFU/mL to 9.0x106 CFU/mL. For commercial yoghurt, plate count for Arewa yoghurt fall between 3.9x106 CFU/mL to 4.1x106 CFU/mL, Nazir yoghurt plate count ranges from 4.6x106 CFU/mL to 4.7x106 CFU/mL and Admiral ‘a yoghurt ranges from 3.0x109 CFU/mL to 3.3x106 CFU/mL. The results of the study also indicated that the milks have high densities of coliform bacteria in kindirmo, nono and madara compared to the new standard that said a maximum amount of coliform bacteria should not be more than 10 bacteria per milliliter (mL) of milk. However, all the commercial yoghurt analysed satisfy the standard acceptable limit of coliform bacteria. Methylene blue reductase test revealed that all the untreated samples (Madara) decolorized methylene blue in less than 30min.

Abstract

Used cooking oil (UCO) is considered as household hazardous waste and the disposal is a matter of environmental concern. In the developed countries such as USA, UCO is collected and converted as biofuel called VIESEL using enzymatic reaction. The recycling of used cooking oil follows a chain of distribution from five stars to roadside food stalls in large scale being a common phenomenon in developing countries like India and Malaysia. In the household conditions the heating of oils >375°C could lead to certain hazardous conditions and the reuse of oil may result in dangerous consequences. Hence, rancidity is considered one of the major quality control for reusing the oil. An attempt to improvise the used cooking oil quality back to its original stage has been made during the studies. The immobilized bacterial consortia of Bacillus spp I and II, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Aeromonas spp and Micrococcus spp have shown remarkable results in reducing the rancid conditions. Further studies are considered for possible large scale applications and their effectiveness of this novel method.

Abstract

Lung was very rare at the beginning of the last century, but later according to a cancer statistic report, it becomes the most common cancer worldwide since 1985. But there are still multiple risk factors, including environmental, hormonal, genetic, and viral, that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung cancer in never-smokers; no related factor has been there that can explain the high incidence of lung cancer in never-smokers. Drug design describes the search of novel compounds with biological activity on a systematic basis. The drug design process has focused on the molecular determinants of the interactions between the drug and molecular target. It is cost-efficient, time-saving, and the process is automatic. We can also know the drug-receptor interaction pattern. Through searching huge libraries of phytochemicals compounds, it can give high hit rates compounds comparison to other high throughput screening, and there is a little chance of failures in the final phases.

Abstract

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a class of polyester accumulated intracellularly by many gram positive and gram negative bacteria as carbon and energy reserve granule. The potential of PHB as biodegradable plastic has been long recognized but several factors like time of extraction, method of extraction, carbon sources etc. hampered their commercialization for a wide range of application. So this study was aimed for isolating potential PHB accumulating strains and optimizing time of extraction of PHB from the strains. Time course study of growth and PHB production of bacteria revealed that optimum PHB production was associated with the stationary phase of its growth.

Abstract

People who feed on vegetarian diets often suffer from B vitamin deficiency as plant sources lack in B vitamins. Incorporation of Azolla in bread can target the affected population. Texture analysis revealed that there was less increase in hardness in case of bread fortified with 5% Azolla. Sensory analysis performed by panelist’s shows inclination towards bread with 5% Azolla however bread fortified with 15% of Azolla powder has shown acceptability because of its color. Therefore, it can be concluded that Azolla is packed with macronutrients like protein and micronutrients like VitB12, VitB9 and non-enzymatic antioxidants that can be used in various food fortification and enrichment products, which would ultimately cater the needy population.

Abstract

The paper describes the development of a new robotic system for guiding the intubation using a laryngoscope, separating the patient from the doctor, and allowing to fully control the introduction using a small console with two joysticks. The basic mechanism derives from our ROSES, robotic system for endovascular surgery, presently going through clinical tests in the field of angioplasty, and consisting in a particular planetary train that allows controlling three parameters, advancement, rotation of the laryngoscope, and possibly curvature of its tip. In the final edition, however, the third parameter control was suppressed substituted by a motor positioned on the clamp that holds the laryngoscope. The system includes a stand holding the robotic actuator placed above the patient’s mouth, the clamp to grasp the laryngoscope suspended to a wire, whose weight is counterbalanced. On the opposite side of the actuator is placed the small console. A brake allows blocking the wire that joins the clamp with the counterweight. Clinical trials on this system are also about to start since we are waiting for the permission of the ethical committee.

Abstract

Information Technology has become one of the most important sources for carbon emission and greenhouse effect. The smartphone industry is one of the most rapidly growing industry with new features being rolled out every day. There is a rapid enhancement in technology and the way mobile phones handle various features and communication. As a result, users continuously upgrade their smartphones to avoid being outdated. This has increased the amount of e-waste as well as the radiations being emitted by the smartphones. On the other hand, an increase in the number of smartphone users has resulted in an increase of data as well as the need to increase the speed of the computation. As a result, cloud computing was introduced which made use of a number of servers deployed in data centres. But the increase of data centre facilities has also resulted in increase of energy consumption and green-house gases which needs to be addressed. In this paper, we discuss a few important methods which can be implemented to green the existing IT infrastructure which include wireless sensor networks for green smartphones, greening of smartphones and greening of cloud services.

Abstract

Simulation is becoming increasingly important in nursing education programs. Ensuring patient safety is the basis of the healthcare system. Nursing students and nurses can improve their skills and abilities in a safe environment through simulation, which helps to ensure patient safety.
The purpose of the review is to provide the best available evidence on the effectiveness of simulation on the self-confidence and satisfaction of nursing students.
A literature review on simulation in nursing education from 2011 to 2021 was conducted. The two databases that were included are Science Direct and Web of Science. The search terms were: simulation, undergraduate nursing students, education, nursing, satisfaction, confidence, self-confidence, Saudi Arabia, and worldwide. In total, there were 106 articles included in the review. Studies with quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methodology designs were included.
This review revealed that simulation is an effective teaching strategy that helps nursing students gain the necessary self-confidence for future clinical practice. However, the gap between theory and practice; and the transferability to real-world practice weren't covered in the research articles.
Simulation is an effective educational method in nursing education. The results suggest future research studies about the transferability to real clinical practice and simulation's impact on patient outcomes based on the patient perspectives.

Abstract

Water crisis has become a part of our life. This is not altogether due to shortage of rainfall, but also due to increasing population, growing industrialization, expanding urbanization, agriculture activities etc., demand more and more water. Coping up with these developments requires various tactics to overcome the water shortage and satisfy the need of all. Water pollution is a serious problem in all over the world and particularly more in India as almost 70% of its surface water resources, and groundwater reserves are contaminated by biological, toxic, organic, and inorganic pollutants. The main activity in this direction is to decrease the pollution level of discharged effluents and treatment of contaminated water to acceptable quality. Nanotechnology is quickly developing in various fields.

Abstract

This review study reports a concise analysis of investigations on origin and progress of transgenic technology in major cereal crops which is the integral part of the cereals improvement programmes. Most genetic transformation approaches of cereal crops have been majorly restricted to rice, wheat, maize, barley and oats. Rice has been considered as a model system for transgenesis and also for many molecular genetic studies. Moreover, certain parameters; such as selection of target tissues for desired gene transfer, screening of competent genotypes for regeneration and transformation, modes of gene deliveries and use of suitable selection markers for screening of putative transformants have been considered as major influencing factors for the success of transgenic technology. Immature embryo in general has been proved definitely the best target tissue for cereal transformation, but the optimal size and stage of the embryos is greatly affected by vegetative and physiological status of the mother plant. Amongst various modes of gene transformation applied in cereals biotechnology; biolistic-mediated gene delivery has been used more frequently than Agrobacteriummediated transformation techniques. In addition to conventional plant breeding techniques, the genetic transformation of cereals with agronomically important target genes is required to improve nutritional quality and quantity of cereals particularly resistance to various stresses and diseases.

Abstract

Despite great advancements in therapy, colorectal cancer (CRC) still causes major morbidity and death and is incredibly common around the world. One of the most promising approaches to treating cancer now involves using nanoparticles as a medication delivery mechanism. Targeted nanoparticles may use chemicals differently expressed on tumour cell surfaces to deliver cytotoxic medications to the tumour effectively. In a number of recent studies, different compounds have been used as ligands on the surfaces of nanoparticles to engage with tumour cells and facilitate the delivery of anticancer medicines. We address the prospective use of ligands and cellular targets in possible techniques for the treatment of CRCs and describe new developments in targeted nanoparticles against CRC in this article.

Abstract

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a major morbidity and mortality factor, especially in a context of early exit of newborns. This study is aimed at determining the frequency of this pathology and characterizing its epidemiological aspects in the Neonatology Department at Issaka Gazobi Maternity Hospital in Niamey. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional monocentric study, expanding over 5 months in the Neonatology Department. It involved newborns with local or generalized jaundice and hospitalized in the Neonatal Department. The frequency of neonatal jaundice was 19.5%, with a gender ratio of 1.92. On average, mothers were aged 26.4 ± 4.2 years and almost half (46.4%) of them were under 25 years old. 64.3% were term births against 35.7% of preterm births. This was due to prophylactic caesarean section (32.3%), premature membrane rupture (17.7%), fetal suffering and severe pre-eclampsia 11.8% respectively. Etiologies of these jaundices were dominated by infections (39%), neonatal malaria (17.1%) and fetal-maternal incompatibility in the ABO/Rh system (15.7%). Development was good in 69.65% of cases against 10.7% of deaths. Infections, neonatal malaria and maternal-fetal incompatibility are the main etiologies of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Niamey. Mortality rate related to this pathology is very high.

Abstract

Alkali, acid and hydrogen peroxide pretreatments were compared for their effect on lignin removal from water hyacinth, among them alkali pretreatment gave good results as compared to others. The highest sugar content in alkali pretreated samples was observed in water hyacinth treated with 5% NaOH solution at 20 psi pressure for 20 minute is 97.50%. Whereas the acid pretreatment had less effect on conversion of lignocellulose in water hyacinth to sugar is 80.6% at the same pressure and time. For hydrogen peroxide pretreatment it is around 67.00%. In this study, we have demonstrated the suitability of physical pretreatment under high pressure and temperature for production of fermentable sugar. Morphology inspection had also provided evidences of structure disruption that led to higher sugar recovery from water hyacinth in alkali pretreatment process than acid and hydrogen peroxide pretreatment process under the same conditions.

Abstract

Microcystis aeruginosa, widely distributed, produce the bioactive compound microcystin toxin, which induces liver cancer and poses many severe threats to human health. Microcystis aeruginosa produces secondary metabolites with broad pharmaceutical importance and biological activities in anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral and protease inhibition activities. New drug discovery is complicated, expensive, time-consuming and challenging for human life when treating disease, the new cutting-edge technology and the rapid growth of advanced computing bioinformatics tools for new drug identification and characterization, including anticancer therapies. In this work, the Microcystis aeruginosa strain was isolated from different regions of central India; the strain identification was based on morphological properties and mcyA, mcyB gene sequence analysis. The Cytotoxicity assayed against the myeloma Sp2/01 cancer cell line, 50 µl of Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) at 48 h; a marked cytotoxic effect was only detected after exposure to the highest toxin concentration (200 µl), and the MC-LR showed strong inhibition with an IC50 value of 29-39 μl. According to the findings, the MC-LR is a promising potential therapeutic anticancer compound, providing new leads for the characterization and development of a novel anticancer drug.

Abstract

The exploration of biomass fuels encourages the reduction of world atmosphere pollution and global warming. In addition, the depletion of non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels induces the developing technologies to harness new and renewable energy sources. Abundant fruit waste can be reused in bioethanol production. Hence, it can reduce pollution and waste material, thus helping manage waste disposal. This study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of using different fruit wastes (mango, banana and pineapple) to generate bioethanol through fermentation bioprocess using yeast. The highest production of bioethanol yield was found in mango waste than in pineapple and banana at the concentration of 3 g/l yeast at the temperature of 30°C. The bioethanol production increased and then decreased with the increasing fermentation time until five days of incubation. Reducing sugar content ( glucose) total soluble solid (TSS) and pH values reduced after fermentation in the case of all fruit wastes. The viscosity and acid values of the bioethanol produced were within ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard specifications. Thus it can be concluded that bioethanol potentially be used as of good quality as an antiseptic and biofuel.

Abstract

Genetically modified (GM) technology retains a superlative role to produce GM organism (GMO) and GMO derived food. The review study was carried out employing different innovative research data to attain the latest modern technology in the GMO production like plant, fruit and vegetables and its related gene expression. GMO production using hormones (GA3, IAA, NAA, ABA) and T-DNA/gene transformation in ornamental plant, fruit and vegetables has been described well. GMO using hormonal injection technology, bacteria like Bacillus thuringiensis, tissue culture with Agrobacterium mediated media, cross breeding, inter-stock breeding, swabbing in xylem and phloem technology has been exhibited as innovative from different research data in pumpkin, ladies finger, peach plant, rose, carrot, star fruit, tobacco, tomatoes and S. chacoense plant has been highlighted from different innovative research data and regulated gene expression was documented well. Finally it can be summarized that GMO ornamental plant, flower, fruit and vegetable can be produced by using in vitro tissue culture of leave, shoot and root or in vivo having different concentration of GA3, IAA, NAA, ABA and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Ti plasmid, genomic DNA/T-DNA) media as well as by injecting in the stem, xylem and phloem, flower, ovary tissue applying swabbing, dipping, dripping and micro spraying methods.

Published by Seventh Sense Research Group.

Abstract

The antiphospholipids antibodies lupus like are oriented against the membraneous phospholipids and can be associated to serious complications of pregnancy. The objective of this survey was to determine the prevalence of this type of antibody in pregnant women that come for prenatal consultation to Issaka Gazobi maternity of Niamey. The selection of the sample was done on the basis of clinical information on pregnancy complication evoking the syndrome of antiphospholipids antibodies. In presence of an antiphospholipid antibody, the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of the patient is lengthened. APTT on the mixture of the plasma of the patient to equal part of the plasma of control also remains stretched out because of the inhibitory effect of the antibody. During the period of the survey 1960 pregnant women have been consulted among which 35 have been suspected of the antibodies antiphospholipids syndrome, weither a rate of 1,83%. The main motives of consultations were the threats of miscarriages (40, 35%) and pre-eclampsy (26,42%). The antiphospholipids antibodies of lupus type has been detected in 37,14% of cases and in 25,71% it has been underlined. The aspirin alone-based treatment has lead 88,90% of pregnancies at term. These results showed up a high prevalence of anticoagulants circulating lupus in the pregnant in Niamey. The use of aspirin 100 mgs per day permitted to avoid obstetric complications.

Abstract

Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a well-documented active mediator in progressive diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Ancillary to hyperglycemia association with dyslipidemia appears to impact the initiation and progression of renal injury in diabetes, giving a link between plasma lipoproteins and angiotensin II in the causation of renal injury under a hyperglycemic setup. Activation of local RAS convoluted in hyperlipidemia-mediated renal injury results in the extracellular matrix deposition in the tubular interstitium, suggesting that the major effector peptide (Ang II) of the RAS pathway and lipoproteins does not act independently but acts synergistically facilitating the progression of chronic kidney disease. Appreciating the relationship between Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Insertion/Deletion (I/D) genotypes or any other ACE gene polymorphism and dyslipidemia with DKD opens up the scope for early recognition of diabetic patients with a high risk of DKD. Systematic in-depth observational and ethnic population studies considering ACE Inhibitors and anti-lipid drugs in relation to ACE genotypes are warranted to help understand the role of the ACE gene that appears to be a major contributor to the complex mechanism involved and the environment in the form of lifestyle in diabetic kidney disease complication.

Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the comparison of the callus cell, shoot and stem proliferation from pineapple crown slice and banana inflorescence in vitro using NAA and BAP at different concentration. The pineapple shoot number and weight was higher in BAP at 2.0 mg/l than control and NAA 0.2 mg/l. However, the BAP + IAA (10mg/l + 1 mg/l) concentration produced higher callus cell weight, shoot number and stem length than MS medium (without hormone) and NAA 1mg/l concentrations in banana. Moreover, it has been shown that the sugar and chlorophyll content were higher in BAP treated hormone than MS medium and NAA 0.2mg/l concentration in pineapple. In addition to that the nutrient content (K+ and NO3--) was exhibited higher in the 2 mg/l BAP treated explants than MS (control) and 0.2 mg/l NAA treated explants in pineapple. Callus tissue weight was maximal in BAP (10mg/l) + IAA (1mg.l) treated explants compared to the NAA (1 mg/l) and MS treated explants in banana. Besides, shoot number and stem length were higher in the BAP (10mg/l) + IAA (1mg/l) treated explants than NAA (1 mg/l) and MS (control) media in banana. The highest sugar and chlorophyll content was recorded in BAP (10mg/l) + IAA (1mg/l) treated explants in banana. Meanwhile, the total phenol content was significantly increased by BAP treatment. K+ and NO3-- content in explants were significantly increased by BAP and NAA treatments in banana. The result showed that the DPPH radical scavenging activity increased with hormone application. Finally it seemed that BAP was the best effective hormone for the both pineapple and banana explants regeneration. Therefore the highest shoot and stem was regenerated in BAP (2mg/l) in pineapple.

Abstract

The maintenance of genome integrity requires and is regulated by two PIKKs [PI3K (phosphoinositide 3- kinase)-related kinases], the ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) and the ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related). ATR is the major coordinator of the response to DNA damage agents that interfere with progression of the replication fork and inhibit DNA synthesis. Since our previous work showed that MCP1 was associated with the early replication stages of DNA replication, we questioned whether MCP1 was required for the ATR pathway. Biochemical and immunological approaches revealed an association of MCP1 with ATR in undamaged and damaged cells. In damaged cells, the ATR-MCP1 interaction was primarily exhibited by the 31kDa form of MCP1. In undamaged cells, both 31kDa and 33kDa MCP1 isoforms interacted with ATR. The immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assays suggest that MCP1 may be involved in ATR pathway, namely by its association with ATR, under physiological conditions and after DNA damage.

Abstract

Salsola kali, a member of the family Chenopodeaceae, is a perennial bushy species that recently invaded the Southwestern mountains of Saudi Arabia, causing degradation to natural habitats. The current study aimed to screen the phytochemicals and evaluate the antibacterial activities of various parts of S. kali aqueous extracts, to examine their therapeutic potential. Qualitative phytochemical screening for Salsola kali leaves, stems, and roots aqueous extract has been conducted. Also, the antibacterial activity of each extract was determined. The phytochemical analysis of leaves, stems, and roots aqueous extracts revealed varying amounts of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins and saponins. In addition, the antibacterial results demonstrated that the inhibition zones are concentration-dependent, i.e. the more concentrated extract, the more inhibition action. Also, almost in all tests, the E. coli colony was significantly high susceptible than S. paratyphi and S. aureus, respectively, towards all Salsola kali aqueous extracts, and this trend was also noticed in gentamycin tests. The current study also concluded that all aqueous extracts of Salsola kali have considerable antibacterial activity compared to the antibiotic gentamycin. Moreover, leaf extracts have higher antimicrobial activities against S. aureus, S. paratyphi and E. coli than root extracts, while the stem extracts showed lower activity against the studied organisms. The current study suggested that investigating the medicinal potentialities of unwanted invasive plants, such as S. kali, is one of the alternative approaches towards turning them from a threat to natural habitats to a promising source of beneficial compounds, including antimicrobial agents.

Abstract

The Security has become a main problem of concern among the people. Biometrics is robotic method of identifying a person based on physiological or behavioural uniqueness. Threat starts while an useless person tries to obtain access. A person verification system localize facial landmarks and extracts biometrical features for face authentication. This includes image acquirement, segmentation, normalization, pattern generation and matching. Databases of biometrical facial appearance around the eye area of customers are construct. The accuracy of the segmentation procedure plays a major role in the performance of the iris recognition system. Segmentation is performed by identifying the obligatory region from the acquired image. Image has to be smoothened to develop the accuracy. Noise present in the image is to be detached by using specific filter. This segmented image is to be normalized and Feature extraction takes place. The output of feature extraction will be in the form of bit template which will be compared to find for a match.

Abstract

An intein mediated protein purification system was established to generate His-tag free protein with high level of purity. To achieve this a synthetic intein gene (~171 bp) was constructed and fused to a histidine sequence at the C-terminus by a two-step assembly PCR. The synthetic intein gene was inserted into pEt-32a(+) vector at ECoRV and HindIII region. The target gene MBP from pMal-c5E vector fused in frame at the Hind-III and Xho I site of pEt- 32a(+), containing the intein gene. The plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain and protein expression was induced by IPTG. The MBP-Intein-His tagged fusion protein was purified from cell lysates using Ni-Nta resin affinity chromatography. The MBP was removed from intein - fused pEt vector by on-column intein-mediated cleavage with DTT.

Abstract

Plants native to Asia are today considered to be among the most vulnerable in the world because of different shifts in land use that have occurred over the past two centuries. These shifts in land use have included the transformation of agricultural and natural areas into artificial surfaces. Industrialization, urbanization, and shifts in people's attitudes about how land should be used all contributed to these developments. In certain countries, the status of greater than 66 percent of the world's surviving habitat types is that of an endangered species. Eighty-three percent of all threatened plant species are threatened primarily because of actions carried out by humans. Destruction and habitat loss are additional concerns simply since they induce greater habitat disruption, thereby isolating plant communities. This is a problem since both factors contribute to the destruction and loss of habitat. This makes the situation worse than it already was. On the other hand, there has been an explosion of interest in "nutraceuticals" (also known as "functional foods") during the past 10 years. Nutraceuticals are foods that contain phytochemical components that may have health-promoting or therapeutic characteristics over the long term. Even though it can be difficult to draw a line between medicinal plants and nutraceuticals at times, the primary difference between the two lies in the evidence that long-term use of foods containing health supplements can provide health advantages to the user. Medicinal plants, on the other hand, are used to treat specific medical conditions (this is known as chemoprevention). On the other hand, some medicinal plants have specific medical benefits, despite the fact that they do not contribute anything to the human diet from a nutritional standpoint. These plants can be used as a solution to particular health difficulties for either a short or a long length of time, depending on the situation. There is an evident interest in traditional and alternative medicine all over the world, according to the World Health Organization. At the same time, there is an increasing application of herbs in medical processes (WHO). The use of medicinal plants is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years; yet, in current times, it has grown into a highly lucrative industry that can be found on marketplaces all over the world. In recent times, a vast assortment of herbal products, such as patented pharmaceutical goods, Natural supplements, such as herbal teas, extracts, and essential oils, have been made widely accessible to consumers.

Abstract

Remote sensing can present an efficient and reliable means of collecting the information and with the multispectral sensors can provide information of about the health of the vegetation. The spectral reflectance of an area will vary with respect to changes in the crop type, health and growth. The study deals to calculate the NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index) for the Chennai City using remote sensing technique by using open source Quantum GIS software. For this purpose Landsat ETM+ images of the year 1991 and 2006 was obtained for the study area. The NDVI values for the year 1991 vary from -0.31 to +0.42 and during 2006 it varies from -0.36 to +0.48.

Abstract

Microorganisms have been part of man’s environment from the earliest times. In the past microorganisms were seen as enemies. However, a better understanding has improved our perception of their diversity and utility. Molecular biological techniques, particularly the study of small sub-units rRNAs and the respective genes, have provided new insight into microbial diversity confirming the inadequacy of our initial knowledge and estimates. New molecular techniques have enhanced our ability to investigate the dynamics of microbial communities and utilize them for the benefit of man and the environment.They are applied to wastewater treatment, remediation of contaminated environment, recovery of toxic heavy metalsfrom aqueous solution, and Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR).Their potential is tremendous and could be further enhanced by application of recombinant DNA techniques and advances in genomics. Microbial diversity has become friends in environmental management.

Abstract

Background: In recent years, there has been a major interest and medical need for the enhancement of the bioavailability of several drugs which are poorly bioavailable. Poorly bioavailable drugs remain sub-therapeutic because a considerable portion of a dose never enters the plasma or exerts its pharmacological action unless and until very large doses are delivered. bioenhancers play a key role in raising the bioavailability and efficacy of a variety of pharmacological drugs at minimal doses. Main Body: The present work’s main goal is to review bioenhancers, their modes of action, characteristics, classification, overview, and formulation in the market of bioenhancers. Importance of Fulvic Acid, Gelucire, Naringin, Esters of gallic acid, Cumin, Ginger, Caraway, Piperine, Sinomenine, Genistein, Lysergol, Cow urine distillate, Nitrile glycoside, Glycyrrhizin, Capmul, Gokhru and, Aloe vera gel as bioenhancers. Conclusion: The various bioenhancers, emphasizing their distinct modes of actions, applications, and their safe dose and drugs bio-enhanced by them. It also focuses on the most recent breakthrough notion of using bio-enhancers to improve the bioavailability/bio-efficacy of low-bioavailability medications, metals, nutraceuticals, and vitamins through various techniques. Therefore, Extensive research on these bio-enhancers should be carried out so that they can be utilized in drug formulations.

Published by Seventh Sense Research Group.

Abstract

The characteristics of tannery effluent vary considerably from tannery to tannery depending upon the size of the tannery, chemicals used for a specific process, amount of water used and type of final product produced by a tannery. The project is carried out with PVC spiral medium to observe the effect of Activated Sludge Process(ASP) on BOD and COD mainly. The experimental process involves the conventional Activated Sludge Process (ASP) that uses air (oxygen) and microorganisms to biologically oxidize organic pollutants producing a waste sludge containing the oxidized material. The study is conducted by following two methods: a)ASP without medium and b)ASP with medium (PVC Spirals). The tannery effluent measuring three litres and half litre of return sludge was filled in the aeration tank and was aerated in the aeration tank where air (or oxygen) is supplied for regular intervals of 4, 6, 8, hours respectively and allowed for settlement in a sedimentation tank for one hour. A settling tank (usually referred to as a “clarifier”) is used to allow the effluent sludge to settle. Part of this sludge is recycled to the aeration tank for initial growth of micro organisms in it. This part of sludge is known as return sludge. And the remaining sludge is removed for further treatment and ultimate disposal. Testing of different parameters like BOD, COD,Total Solids and Turbidity were carried out on the samples aerated with different aeration time, with and without medium and consequent results were found. In the presence of PVC Spiral medium, the concentrations of various parameters considered for study were found decreased when compared with the values of concentration found without using any medium.It is very clear that PVC Spiral medium contributes more to the surface area which is very essential for the growth of micro organisms for effective removal of pollutants from the effluent.

Abstract

As the fields of robotics and biotechnology continue to converge, the emergence of bio-robotics raises important ethical and social considerations that warrant careful examination. This paper explores the ethical and social implications arising from integrating robotics and biotechnology, specifically focusing on how these advancements impact communication and understanding between humans and bio-robotic systems. Bio-robotics involves the integration of living biological components and robotic technologies, blurring the lines between natural and artificial systems. By enabling robots to interact with biological organisms or incorporate biological materials, this field presents unique challenges and opportunities. Firstly, this paper delves into the ethical considerations surrounding the creation and use of biohybrid systems, including the treatment and rights of living organisms involved. It addresses questions related to consent, welfare, and the ethical boundaries of manipulating living organisms for robotic purposes. Furthermore, the social implications of bio-robotics in the context of communication are examined. How does the presence of bio-robotic systems impact human perception, trust, and interaction? What are the societal norms and expectations arise when robots incorporate biological elements? The potential impact on various sectors, including healthcare, industry, and environmental monitoring, is also explored. The paper highlights the importance of addressing privacy concerns and ensuring data security when bio-robotic systems are involved in communication and information exchange. It also examines the potential consequences of miscommunication or misunderstandings between humans and bio-robotic systems, emphasizing the need for clear communication protocols and user interfaces. Additionally, the paper discusses the broader societal implications of biorobotics in biotechnology, including public perception, cultural attitudes, and the potential impact on employment and economic structures. By thoroughly examining the ethical and social dimensions of bio-robotics, this paper aims to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that arise from the convergence of robotics and biotechnology. It underscores the importance of proactive discussions, policy development, and responsible practices to ensure the ethical advancement of bio-robotics and promote beneficial outcomes for society as a whole.

Abstract

This paper is a report on the field observation undertaken through the DST project immediately after the occurrence of December 26, 2004 earthquake of magnitude >M 9.0 that occurred off the west coast of Sumatra Island of Indonesia with its epicenter located on the shallow depths in the Indian Ocean. The tsunamigenic earthquake that occurred on 26th December 2004 in the Indian Ocean caused severe damage and claimed many victims in some coastal villages through out the Islands. The main purpose of the survey was to assess morphological changes caused by the wave attacks and to evaluate the impact of the event on buildings, bridges and infrastructure. Attention was predominantly focused on the entire group of Andaman Islands such as Diglipur (North Andaman), Mayabunder, Baratang and Rangat (Middle Andaman) and Port Blair, Havelock and Hut Bay areas (South Andamans and Little Andamans), were examined for the most affected places in the islands. The most severe damage was observed at Hut Bay, in Little Andaman, where the buildings and coastal walls and the jetties were almost levelled by the violent waves. Most places were hit by these waves with documented wave height often exceeding 2-5 m according to the evidence by the local people and by filed investigations. The coastal landforms are changed and stagnation of the tsunami water is seen in the low lying areas of South Andaman. On the west coast of the Andaman, the coastline witnessed the raised reef flats to above the present day high tide mark, similar uplift of shallow fringing reefs. It was observed that a few kilometres of shallow water reef are now dead in the Diglipur area of North Andaman. In Sippighat creek (South Andaman) area, it was observed that the Mangrove was completely submerged with seawater and completely turned brownish, indicating that it had been dead. As a sequel, the maximum damage has been taken place to the structures very close to the low laying areas of the coast and severe impact has been noticed on the mangrove forest of Baratang and south Andaman localities. It is further noticed that few mud volcanoes of Baratang area became activate and started ejecting heavier mud.

Abstract

Seeds of three basmati rice genotypes namely Pusa Sugandha, Pusa1 and Pusa 1121 were assessed for callus induction and plant regeneration on different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators in MS medium. A two stage sterilization treatment was found to be the most effective leading to maximum number of uncontaminated explants in three rice genotypes. The number of shoots was observed to be more in MS media supplemented with BAP and the shoot length was more in MS media supplemented with Kn. An optimum concentration of 1.0mg/l of 2,4-D was found to be effective for callus induction but Pusa Sugandha had more potential towards callus formation than Pusa 1 and Pusa 1121. However, highest percentage of shoot regeneration from callus was observed in Pusa Sugandha (90.0%) followed by Pusa 1 (80.0%) and Pusa 1121 (50.0%) in MS media supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of 2,4-D, 1.0 mg/l of Kn and 0.5 mg/l of BAP.

Abstract

Plant molecular systematics relies on using DNA barcodes for studying the evolutionary relationship between species Sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions have been used widely in molecular phylogenetic studies because of their high variability compared to plastid sequences. Elaeocarpus is a diverse genus within the family Elaeocarpaceae and is widely distributed worldwide among tropical and subtropical climatic zones. Elaeocarpus ganitrus has important medicinal and religious values in India. However, Elaeocarpus ganitrus's evolutionary relationship with other Elaeocarpus species is not much explored, especially at the molecular and phylogenetic levels. The present research successfully amplified the nuclear gene ITS2, sequenced and submitted it to NCBI Genbank after using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) and Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP) resulted in different numbers of molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs). The lowest score of ASAP (4.5) segregated the sequences into 31 MOTUs with the Threshold dist. value of 0.003524. This study establishes an evolutionary relationship between Elaeocarpus ganitrus and other species belonging to the same genus through the neighbor-joining method. The 38 Elaeocarpus samples were clustered into seven major groups based on ITS2 sequence: Group I is represented by Elaeocarpus ganitrus along with Elaeocarpus sylvestris, Elaeocarpus glabripetalus, Elaeocarpus duclouxii, Elaeocarpus decipiens, and Elaeocarpus zollingeri. Group II is characterized by Elaeocarpus austroyunnanensis and Elaeocarpus glaber. Group III comprises Elaeocarpus sphaericus, Elaeocarpus angustifolius, Elaeocarpus grandis, Elaeocarpus ptilanthus, and Elaeocarpus sphaerocarpus. Three accessions of Elaeocarpus hookerianus are placed in group IV. Elaeocarpus largiflorens and Elaeocarpus thelmae represent group V. Groupr VI contains three species: Elaeocarpus sylvestris, Elaeocarpus dubius, and Elaeocarpus johnsonii. Group VII comprises five species which include Elaeocarpus glabripetalus, Elaeocarpus rugosus, Elaeocarpus tuberculatus, Elaeocarpus hainanensis, and Elaeocarpus angustifolius. The study concludes with the possibility of correctly using the ITS2 gene to identify, discriminate, and document Elaeocarpus ganitrus and other species of the same genus.

Abstract

This paper deals with the statistical analysis of the compressive strength and of the elastic modulus of jointed rock masses under different confining pressures. Properties of the rock masses with different joint fabric, with and without gouge have been considered in the analysis. A large amount of experimental data of jointed rock masses from the literature has been compiled and used for this statistical analysis. The compressive strength of a rock mass has been represented in a non-dimensional form as the ratio of the compressive strength of the jointed rock to the intact rock. In the elastic modulus, the ratio of elastic modulus of jointed rock to that of intact rock at different confining pressures is used in the analysis. The effect of the joints in the rock mass is taken into account by a joint factor. The joint factor is defined as a function of joint frequency, joint orientation, and joint strength. Several empirical relationships between the strength and deformation properties of jointed rock and the joint factor have been arrived at via statistical analysis of the experimental data. A comparative study of these relationships is presented. The effect of confining pressure on the elastic modulus of the jointed rock mass is also considered in the analysis. These empirical relationships are incorporated in a nonlinear FEM code to carry out the equivalent continuum analysis of jointed rock masses. The method presented in this paper recognizes that the jointed rock mass will act both as an elastic material and a discontinuous mass.

AbstractAlzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia among the elderly. A rising interest in applying machine learning to discover the origins of prevalent metabolic illnesses like Alzheimer's and Diabetes has emerged. The alarming annual rise in their frequency is really worrying. In Alzheimer's disease, brain cells deteriorate, leading to the illness's hallmark symptoms. As the global population ages, so too will the incidence of diseases that cause cognitive and physical decline. This will have far-reaching monetary, social, and economic consequences. Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in its early stages is challenging. Treatments for Alzheimer's disease have a higher success rate and fewer side effects if given early on. As a result, in this study, an original Adam-optimized Convolutional geometric group network was built to detect dementia in its earliest stages. Accuracy is used to evaluate the success of Open Access Kaggle data used to make Alzheimer's disease predictions. Clinicians will be able to utilize the suggested categorization approach to identify these conditions in their patients correctly. The proposed approach has the potential to significantly improve yearly death rates associated with Alzheimer's disease by facilitating earlier detection. The suggested study improves upon prior efforts, as shown by a 95.7% average accuracy in validating AD test data. The test's accuracy is far greater than that of previous efforts.

Abstract

To assess the effects of humans’ activities and climate variability on socio economic living of population and Néré parklands vulnerability in DjidjaTownship in Benin. Primary data on climate variability and socio-economic characteristics of farmers were collected through investigation of 72Néréparkland ’farmers and focus-group. Descriptive statistic and principal components analysis were performed with SAS 9.2, SPSS and Excel softwares. The mains results of the perceptions of populations about climate variability especially rain variability fit with climate data trend obtained from meteorological stations. 93% of famers notice this climate variability and 90.31% has developed adaptation strategies which are cultural practice (41.33%), adaptation of the cropping system (37.33%), diversification of agricultural activities (10.67%) and reforestation which is little practiced (8%). Economic performances analysis showed no significant difference between adaptation technics but based on income average, the adaptation of the cropping system seems to be the most profitable (339132±84135) whereas the less profitable is the reforestation (143667±39389).

Abstract

The production of nanoparticles, while controlling the size and shape of the particles, has recently occupied much research in the field of nanotechnology. The biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles is of great importance due to their suitability for the environment. The use of microorganisms to produce nanoparticles has progressed over chemical and physical methods due to their effectiveness, low cost, and environmentally friendly nature. The present study focused on the synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) in a simple, efficient, and rapid manner by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Copper is important in this process due to its interesting physical and chemical properties. It has good therapeutic potential, and when copper-sulphate-solution is added to the bacterial suspension devoid of bacterial cells, it is observed that the color of the reaction mixture changes to green, and this is evidence of the formation of nanoparticles. Different techniques were relied upon to characterize CuNPs by ultraviolet spectroscopy, with the highest value at 314. An FT-IR examination was conducted to determine the active aggregates. A SEM examination was also conducted, confirming that the size of copper nanoparticles reached 56.40 nm. This study aimed to produce nanoparticles. CuNPs using a Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract

Each sub-population will respond to a particular drug in a different way based upon the genetic profile. Pharmacogenomics deals with the study of how individual’s genetic make-up plays an important role in body’s response to drugs by correlating gene expression with the drug efficacy or toxicity. Asthma is a very common chronic disease involving the respiratory system in which the airways constrict, become inflamed, and are lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers. The ?2-adrenergic receptor is the most common adrenergic receptor in the lung, and associations between ADRB2 polymorphisms and intermediate phenotypes of asthma have been reported. The total number of SNPs in the ADRB2 gene was analyzed. According to the SNP profile, the ADRB2 protein was modeled with the help of Modeller 9V2 software. Docking studies were performed with the available candidate drugs with the help of Autodock.

Abstract

The presence of melanoidin polymers in the distillery effluent are considered as the main reason for its pitch dark brown colour and its recalcitrant nature. Such distillery effluents when disposed into water bodies lead to rapid dip in the photosynthetic activities and dissolved oxygen contents, gravely affecting the aquatic life. Melanoidin is xenobiotic in nature and the consumption of the dairy products, meat etc., from cattle/livestock sources, which inevitably depend on such contaminated water bodies, affects the health of not only humans, but also many veterinary species. The pumping of industrial effluents into those water sources, eventually results in biomagnification of the heavy metals like Hg, Cd, Pb, Cr, and ligands like acrylamide, arsenic etc. The accumulation of these metals and ligands in such water bodies would trigger polymerization of melanoidin and lead to its buildup in the human system through various food chains. The higher order aggregates of melanoidins are considered as one of the causative agents of several skin allergies, lung ailments, and stomach disorders etc., including colon cancer in humans. Thus, recognizing the fact that heavy metals and certain ligands amplify the concentrations of melanoidin and activate the conversion of lower molecular weight forms into more hazardous higher order aggregates, interactions studies were carried out to investigate the modes of ligand binding to melanodins. The results delineate the nature of molecular interactions, and highlight their importance inbioaccumulation and biomagnifications, towards designing cost-effective strategies that could be innovatively developed, to solve this perennial environmental risk.

Abstract

Microfluidics paper-based diagnostics are novel and inexpensive point-of-care devices with significant potential for use in developing countries. These devices work on the principle of capillary action in a porous substrate in which the wicking distance is proportional to the square root of the time taken to travel across the porous substrate, illustrated by the Lucas-Washburn equation. These can be used to diagnose multiple diseases by measuring parameters like glucose levels and lipid levels in biological fluids. This paper focuses on an innovative and simple point-of-care diagnostic to measure glucose concentration in different solutions. The experimental device has a testing region coated with glucose oxidase-peroxidase mixed with potassium iodide. On reaching the testing zone, the glucose solution reacts with glucose oxidase to yield gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. In the next stage, hydrogen peroxide reacts with potassium iodide, liberating iodine. [The iodine develops colorimetric assays ranging from light pink to brown depending on the glucose concentration. A smartphone camera was used to capture the colorimetric assay, and the software ImageJ to convert it into an 8-bit image. The mean grey intensity of each colorimetric assay and the respective glucose concentrations were calculated using ImageJ. The results show a linear relationship, y=0.264x+67.3 (y: mean grey intensity, x: glucose concentration), between glucose concentration and mean grey intensity with a correlation coefficient of 0.97 (2 s.f), indicating a strong relationship between these variables. This innovation can be further developed to diagnose diabetes in low-income and rural communities and substitute for expensive and unaffordable diagnostic tools.

Abstract

Dye containing waste water is a major environmental problem .The treatment method for the removal of dye is costly. For this the use of low cost easily available adsorbent was studied. sorption of methylene blue on to groundnut shell was studied by varying the parameters like initial dye concentration, pH and sorbent dosage. Dye biosorption was rapid up to 60 minutes and equilibrium was attained at 240 minutes after 60 minutes the removal rate was slow due to the decrease in the number of vacant sites.

Abstract

Heterobranchuslongifilis juveniles weighing 22.2 were acclimatized for seven (7) days with daily renewal of water to maintain good physico-chemical quality of water suitable for the fish. Acute toxicity test of refined petroleum product (petrol) was carried out in the laboratory to determine its effect on juveniles of Heterobranchus longifilis. Different concentration were obtained through exploratory test of 1ml of toxicant in 9ml of water,1ml of toxicant in 99ml of water, 1ml of toxicant in 999ml of water, The research was carried out using five (5) concentrations, (4.0ppm, 8.0ppm, 10.0ppm and 12.0ppm) of petrol, and a control, replicated three (3) times. Results showed behavioral changes, organ abnormalities and that petrol was toxic to the test fish even at the lowest tested concentration. Percentage mortality of 90%, 70%, 50%, 30% and 10% was recorded in 12.0ppm, 10.0ppm, 8.0ppm, 6.0ppm and 4.0ppm concentration of petrol at 96 hours exposure respectively. The result also showed that the mortality of Heterobranchus longifilis juveniles exposed to petrol in water increased with increase in concentration and time of exposure. The liver showed vacuolar degeneration in the hepatocytes, focal areas of necrosis and fibrosis, aggregations of inflammatory cells between the hepatocytes, dilation and congestion in blood sinusoids and thrombosis formation in the central veins, while the muscle tissues were moderately affected after the exposure. The entire test organisms in the control showed no histological abnormalities, while their staining patterns and cellular arrangement remained unaffected. The tissue was viewed under digital light microscope at the magnification of (X100 and 400).

Abstract

Drinks containing probiotics have grown in popularity in recent years because of potential health benefits. Live beneficial bacteria included in these drinks are believed to enhance general health and intestinal health. The most popular probiotic drinks are kefir, kombucha, and yogurt-based drinks. The capacity of probiotic beverages to restore a normal balance of bacteria in the stomach is one of its main benefits. Immunity, digestion, and even mental health can all benefit from this. Additionally, probiotics have been connected to improved weight management, healthier skin, and a decreased risk of certain illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Remember that not all probiotic beverages are made equal and that the advantages could change based on the particular strains and mixes that are utilized. Certain probiotic beverages might not have enough live bacteria in them or might not be able to survive digestion, which would prevent them from offering the desired health advantages. Drinks with probiotics may also have unintended consequences. When starting probiotics, some people may have digestive problems such as gas, bloating, or diarrhea. Before including probiotic drinks into their diet, people with weakened immune systems or those on specific drugs should consult a healthcare professional. It is best to select probiotic beverages that have undergone scientific testing to determine their efficacy and contain a variety of strains. Reading product labels and researching the specific strains used can help ensure that you are getting high-quality probiotic drinks.

Abstract

Water is undoubtedly the most vital natural resource. Water use management is one of the greatest challenges that face humanity. The demand for water is continuously growing because of the population growth, the intensive urbanization and the development of industrial and agricultural activities. To face the increasing pressure on this vital resource, it is so necessary to set up the adequate instruments to ensure a rational and efficient management of this resource. In this context, the hydrological modeling is largely used as an instrument to assess the functioning of these resources at basin scale. In addition, the use of spatial models let to depict and simulate the watershed processes at small spatial and heterogeneous scales that reflect the field reality more accurate and more realistic as possible. However, the use of spatial models requires geospatial data that must be gathered at very fine scales. The study area is Brahmani-Baitarani which extends from 20º29’00”N to 23º37’47”.The objective of the study is to compute the runoff using SWAT hydrological model in Brahmani-Baitarani basin. The study has been executed using remote sensing data and other geo-spatial database, and other field data using semi-distributed hydrological models.

Huihui Qi, Yang Li, Liguang Sun " TCR-clonotyping-based Analysis of a Frenemy —Public T Cells ", International Journal of Biotech Trends and Technology (IJBTT), V5(1):33-37 Jan - Mar 2015, Published by Seventh Sense Research Group.

Abstract

Public T cells are characterized by a T-cell population bearing identical T-cell receptor (TCR) amino acid sequences in a majority of individuals. However, due to their out-of-balance production, they may serve as both "friend" and "enemy", i.e. a frenemy in many physiological and pathological activities. Thanks to the development of advanced TCR-clonotyping methods, such as next generation sequencing (NGS), we can gain a better understanding of public T-cell responses. In this review, we commenced with the underlying mechanisms of public TCR-production, and then discussed some researches that have been successfully utilized as a new method for the study of the CDR3 regions of the public and private TCRs, and we further explored the merits and demerits of the public T cells in different diseases. Finally, we discussed the current challenges and future hot focuses.

Abstract

A fingerprint is a unique pattern of valleys and ridges on an individual’s finger. Given its ability to verify or refute identity, fingerprint evidence can be extremely valuable in criminal investigations. The study’s principal objective was to examine fingerprint inheritance in Indian families living in Gurgaon and investigate whether there may be a correlation between fingerprint inheritance and blood groups. A number of 40 offspring and their respective parents (a total of 120 individuals) were randomly chosen from families residing in Gurgaon. A pre-designed form outlining the process for collecting thumb impressions and blood types was created and disseminated. It had the necessary area for sample collection. Following collection, the prints were categorized using Henry’s approach, which divides fingerprints into three categories: loops, whorls, and arches. Blood Group O, the recessive blood type, was observed to have a higher prevalence of Arches, which may be a recessive feature. Loops and whorls were more prevalent in co-dominant blood types A, and B. Higher inheritance of fingerprints was observed between father to daughter and mother to daughter compared to father to son and Mother to son.

Abstract

Masonry is one of the oldest construction materials. Masonry structures have been in existence since the earliest days of mankind. Clay units have been in use for over 10,000 years and Sun dried bricks were widely used. Unreinforced masonry structures are most vulnerable during an earthquake. Normally they are designed for vertical loads and since masonry has adequate compressive strength, the structure behaves well as long as the loads are vertical. When such a masonry structure is subjected to lateral inertial loads during an earthquake the walls develop shear and flexural stresses. The strength of masonry under these conditions often depends on the bond between brick and mortar (stone and mortar), which is quite poor. This bond is also often poor when lime mortars and mud mortars are used. A Masonry wall can also undergo plane (in-plane and out of plane) shear stresses if the inertial forces are in the plane of the wall. Shear failure in the form of diagonal cracks is observed due to this. However catastrophic collapses takes place when the wall experiences out-of-plane flexure. This can bring down a roof and cause more damage. Masonry buildings with light roofs such as tiled roofs are more vulnerable to out-of-plane vibrations since the top edge can undergo large deformations. It is always useful to investigate the behavior of masonry buildings after an earthquake, so as to identify any inadequacies in earthquake resistant design.

Abstract

Extracellular enzymes from microbes are important biocatalysts with their widespread applications in several industries such as textile, biorefineries, food, pulp and paper, agriculture, detergent and pharmaceuticals. Actinomycetes are group of gram positive soil microbes, well known as producers of extracellular enzymes. Among the various genera of actinomycetes, Streptomyces has been a widely exploited group for production of these enzymes. Primary and secondary screening of isolates for identifying the highest enzyme producers followed by estimation of enzyme activity is the primary step. Immense work has been done for identification of genes, understanding the role of structural domains responsible for enzyme activity by X-ray crystallography, mass spectroscopy and NMR studies. This is followed by analyses of protein sequences, phylogenetic tree construction based on amino acid differences among species and recombinant studies for identification of protein families for hyper-producing the enzyme yield.

Abstract

Over the last decade, innovations have increased, and the importance of the human healthcare field has also grown. Recently, the University of California and the Broad Institute began battling over the patents related to CRISPR CAS - genome editing. CRISPR CAS9, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a kind of precise molecular scissor that scientists use to edit faulty genes. Gene editing has its pros and cons. On the one hand, it is accepted that gene editing resolves children's health issues and provides security to future generations. However, on the other hand, it becomes crucial when it is used to design babies. The natural birth process of human life is being tampered with for selfish motives. Moreover, what would the impact of the altered genes be on the next generation? It may pose a threat to humanity. Every family may not be able to afford a beautifully designed baby. It may also raise questions on the constitutional validity of the practice. Has nature transferred the app to design babies into human hands? Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), protection for designing babies, raises a number of difficult technical and ethical-legal issues. Designing of babies is still developing and needs to be regulated. China, the US and India have used the technology successfully. There is a need to interpret the concept of designer babies through the lens of the Patents Act 1970. The paper proposes to draw the boundaries for the issues related to designer babies.

Abstract

The treatment of bleach effluent from pulp and paper Industry for COD, colour and AOX removal was investigated using Ultra violet/Hydrogen peroxide process photocatalysed by Titanium dioxide. The Ultra violet / Titanium dioxide process was able to remove 48% and 37% of COD and colour. The combined process of Ultra violet/Hydrogen peroxide process photocatalysed by Titanium dioxide was found to be more effective in the removal of COD and organics compared with the individual processes at a pH of 7. The combined process of Ultra violet/Hydrogen peroxide process photocatalysed by Titanium dioxide showed the COD colour and AOX removal efficiency of 76%, 78% and 45% respectively.

Abstract

Morphological and meristic characters of hybrid clariid catfish from selected fish farms in Abia and Akwa-Ibom states were investigated. Ten juveniles of the hybrid clariid catfish were obtained from each of the farms to give a total of forty. Thirty morphometric and meristic characters were measured. The data obtained were subjected to different statistical techniques. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) at P?0.05 showed that dorsal fin ray number was significant in Abia 1 (53.79) than Abia 2 (48.05), Akwa Ibom 1 (49.04) and Akwa Ibom 2 (47.00). Adipose fin length which is a major distinguishing character among “Hetero x Clarias” hybrid were observed to have varying proportions among the farms with Abia 2 having a significant length of 9.8cm followed by Abia 1 (8.09cm), Akwa Ibom 1(6.12cm) and Akwa Ibom 2 having the least (3.32cm). Pearson’s correlation coefficient matrix showed that adipose fin length (r=0.89, P?0.04) is dependent on dorsal fin length which is the usual trend in Heterobranchus spp. These characters were further subjected to a multivariate statistical technique (principal component analysis) to ascertain the characters that account for the variations. The Principal component analysis showed that principal component 1 and 11 with Eigen values 22.81 and 3.01 respectively accounted for 91.75% of the total variance in the data set. In addition, the PCA biplot revealed that the hybrids differed meristically and the characters accounting for these are; pectoral fin-ray, caudal finray, anal fin-ray, dorsal fin-ray, pelvic fin-ray, eye diameter, anal fin height, weight and body depth at anus.

Abstract

Yeasts have been reported to be associated with the production of important products, including ethanol. They can be isolated from many sources, including palm wine and fruit juice. Therefore, this study aimed at isolating and screening for potential alcohol-tolerance yeasts from indigenous substrates as an alternative to Saccharomyces cerevisae. The samples which included fresh palm wine, ripped oranges, carrots, banana and pineapple, were respectively inoculated into potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at 30oC for 48h. Thereafter, the developed colonies were identified through conventional mycological analysis and ITS molecular sequencing. Each identified yeast 1ml (equivalent to 1.52 X 102 CFU/mL) was exposed to different concentrations (6-16%) of absolute ethanol incorporated into 100ml of PDA, respectively. The residual growth was measured spectrophotometrically at 660nm after incubating at 30OC for 48h. The same treatment subjected to commercial S. cerevisae served as control. The recovered isolates included 5 strains of Meyerozyma guilliermondii (19, KAS-143, GTi7, ANSe-23, RCPF 1373), 3 strains of Candida tropicalis strain (L6, OBY6 and IDR1000028827) and Kodamaea ohmeri strain TS21. All the yeast isolates and the control Saccharomyces cerevisae tolerated ethanol even at 16% concentration, but the tolerance rate was significantly higher with Saccharomyces cerevisae across the concentration(p<0.05). The rate of ethanol tolerance decreased as the ethanol concentration increased in all the yeast isolates, even with the control. Among the isolates, Candida tropicalis strain IDR1000028827 exhibited the highest tolerance rate (80%) at 16% ethanol concentration, while Meyerozyma guilliermondii strains KAS-143 demonstrated the least tolerance (20%) at 16% ethanol concentration). The result obtained from this study revealed the presence of some high ethanol tolerance yeasts, which could be tried for indigenous ethanol production, despite the observed significant difference that existed among them and the commercial yeast.

Abstract

This project work was conducted to study removal of COD from tannery effluent by coagulants which includes analysis of physico-chemical parameters of tannery effluent as well as the treatment efficiency of alum, PACl, their combination (alum + guargum) and (PACL + guargum). Sample collection and analysis were performed using standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater (1998). Tannery effluent has been treated with the coagulants. The influences of pH and coagulant dosages were studied. The effectiveness of chemical coagulants and guargum were measured by the reduction of COD. The results shows that the combination of coagulant PACl + guar gum is more effective than alum, PACl and alum +guargum. It can achieve upto 97% of COD reduction at low dosage of PACl (100 mg/l)and guargum (500 - 1000 mg/L). The results indicate that lower quantities of PACl are needed to obtain an acceptable reduction in COD in the treatment of tannery effluent.

Abstract

In this study, thirty-nine sputum samples from tuberculosis (TB)-positive patients undergoing first-line therapy were collected and archived on a chemically coated cellulose matrix. DNA was extracted from these matrices and tested for Mycobacterium tuberculosis using the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay. Seven samples tested positive for M. tuberculosis, with low levels of detection. End-point PCR yielded faint signals in four samples but no signal in the remaining three. A Line Probe Assay (LPA) detected pathogenic DNA in only one of the three PCR-negative samples. Remarkably, LPA-negative samples were successfully detected by LPA and end-point PCR following isothermal strand displacement-based whole genome amplification (WGA) of the stock DNA. The drug sensitivity profiles of these samples were consistent with the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra results obtained using the original stock DNA. Additionally, sputum DNA from healthy individuals spiked with 125 ng, but not 1.25 ng, of M. tuberculosis culture DNA was detected by LPA. Following WGA, the 1.25 ng sample was also detected successfully by LPA, and its drug sensitivity profile matched that of the 125-ng sample. These findings indicate that WGA of sputum DNA from a cellulose matrix, even with a low pathogen load, can enhance the detection capabilities of LPA by enriching the genome target through an isothermal enzymatic strand displacement method. This method is promising for improving the diagnostic sensitivity of TB detection.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to isolate the extracellular protease and lipase producing bacteria from tannery effluents. The bacterial isolation was performed by serial dilution and plating method. Total of eight protease producing isolates were screened on the basis of their clear zone formation on skim milk agar. Further screening for lipase producing stains on tributyrin agar confirmed that only four were able to produce an extracellular lipase enzyme. Isolated bacteria were identified on the basis of morphological, cultural, and biochemical characterization. Among four promising isolates three were belong to the genus Bacillus spp while one was identified as Actinobacillus spp.

Abstract

Search queries on biomedical databases, such as Pub Med, frequently return a large number of results, only a small subset of which is applicable to the user. Classification and cataloging, which can also be united, have been suggested to improve this information overload problem. Result optimization and results categorization for biomedical databases are the focus of this work. A natural way to establish biomedical credentials is affording to their Mesh annotations. Mesh is a inclusive concept hierarchy used by Pub Med. In this paper, we present the BioIntelR (BIR) system, adopts the BioNav system enables the user to revolve large number of query results by organizing them using the Mesh concept hierarchy. First, BioIntelR (BIR) system prompts the user for the exploration criteria and the system automatically connects to a middle layer created at the application level which directs the query to the proper valid query path to select correct criteria of the search result from the biomedical database. The query results are organized into navigation tree. At each node expansion step, BIR system exposes only a small subset of the concept nodes, preferred such that the predictable user navigation cost is minimized. In disparity, to the previous systems, the BIR system outdoes and optimizes the query result time and reduces query result set for easy user navigation, Data Warehousing.

Abstract

Phylogenies ; The evolutionary histories of groups of species are one of the most widely used tools throughout the life sciences, as well as objects of research with in systematic, evolutionary biology. In every phylogenetic analysis reconstruction produces trees. These trees represent the evolutionary histories of many groups of organisms, bacteria due to horizontal gene transfer and plants due to process of hybridization. In this paper a model has been employed to reconstruct phylogenetic network in Matrix metalloproteinase-12 gene (MMP12). Through comparison with several species of healthy organism, one may determine where the defective mutation is located, and then determine how to treat the disease. For this purpose, we have taken up the strategy of phylogenetics of genes causable for lung cancer with bioinformatics approach. This strategy may help us to identify the mutations that had occurred in evolutionary conserved residues. We feel this method can be useful for understanding evolutionary rate variation, and for understanding selection variation on different characters. To better understand the roles that MMPs play today in development and disease, it is helpful to understand their historical functions and their evolution.

Abstract

In the present investigation an attempt was made to find a new herbal derived material with potential Xanthine oxidase inhibitory and free radical scavenging activities. We have screened the Ethanolic extracts of 10 medicinal plants belonging 8 families, regardless of their claimed ethanopharmacological and /or food uses for their XO inhibitory activities using an optimized protocol. The Super oxide, Nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity and Total antioxidant activity of these extracts were investigated employing various established in vitro systems. Total phenolic and flavanoid content were also determined. The Xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitory and the antioxidant activity of Ethanolic plant extract were found to be in the following order. Piper nigrum > Brassica juncea > Cuminum cyminum > Cinnamomum zeylanicum > Coriandrum sativum > Cinnamomum tamala > Nigella sativa > Elettaria cardamomum > Syzygium aromaticum > Prunus amygdalus. Among these plant extracts the three plants namely Piper nigrum ,Cuminum cyminum and Brassica juncea were found to be most active for the above said activities. The quantitative estimation of revealed the considerable amount of phenols and flavanoids which may be attributed for its antioxidant activity through the inhibition of Xanthine oxidase enzyme. The study showed that many of the tested plant species are potential sources of natural XO inhibitors that can be developed, upon further investigation, into successful herbal drugs for treatment of gout and other XO-related disorders.

Abstract

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most widely used materials in prosthetic dentistry. Since it was introduced to dentistry, it has been successfully used in construction of denture bases. Acrylic resins have been successful as denture bases because of their ease of processing, low cost, light weight, and colour matching ability,however, acrylic resin denture base materials are low in strength, brittle, and low in thermal conductivity. Various methods to strengthen acrylic resin have been suggested. However, reinforcement methods should not have adverse effects on the other properties of denture materials. Although often overlooked, the heat transfer characteristics of the denture base material may be an important factor in determining patient satisfaction. In literature, few attempts have been made to develop acrylic resins that not only possess improved mechanical properties but also an overall improvement in the physical properties like thermal diffusivity, hardness, surface roughness and water sorption without negatively affecting each other. The incorporation of ceramic particles in various dental materials has been studied and found to be biocompatible, and it also improves mechanical properties. In addition, the white colour of the ceramic powder is not expected to compromise aesthetic appearances. Aluminium oxide (Al2O3), commonly referred to as alumina, possesses strong ionic interatomic bonding, giving rise to its desirable material characteristics. Its high hardness, excellent dielectric properties, refractoriness, and good thermal properties make it the material of choice for a wide range of applications. The aim of the present article is to review the effect of addition of alumina on various physical, mechanical and thermal properties of acrylic resins.

Abstract

Diesel engine is capable of running on “biodiesel” fuel, which can be produced from a variety of renewable sources, including Jatropha seed oil. Before it can be used as a substitute for diesel fuel, the biodiesel has to undergo a purification process. The focus of this research is to investigate the purification capability of bentonite (aluminum clay), in the purification of biodiesel and the assessment of the suitability of purified biodiesel for use in diesel engines. Biodiesel was produced through homogeneous base catalysis and then purified using 5%, 10% and 15% wt/wt bentonite to oil ratio. The unpurified biodiesel batches and the purified biodiesel samples ware characterized and the properties compared with those of ASTM D6751, EN14214 and that of petroleum diesel (Australian Standard AS 3570). Some of the quality parameters were significantly affected by the adsorption characteristics of bentonite. The purification reduced the viscosity of the fuel from 5.1 c.St to a minimum value of 2.7 c.St, the bentonite was able to completely absorb the water present in the oil from a value of 0.005 %wt to completely 0.000 %wt, the calorific value was raised from a minimum value of 43125 kJ/kg to a maximum value of 44122 kJ/kg, acid value was reduced from a maximum value of 1.2 mgKOH/g to a minimum value of 0.3 mgKOH/g. All these values fall within the acceptable range of values described by the standard biodiesel properties outlined in ASTM D6751 and EN 14214. Other values like cloud point, pour point, carbon residue, copper corrosion, cetane number, peroxide value and sulphated ash were not affected by the bentonite purification. But all with the exception of sulphated ash and flash point conform to the standard biodiesel properties described by the two standards. 5% wt/wt bentonite to biodiesel ratio was able to purify the biodiesel within the acceptable values outlined in ASTM D6751 and EN 14214.

Abstract

Plants on the earth are of great wealth gifted by Nature provide a variety of daily needs of our life. They are the chief ingredients of lively food, shelter, medicine, clothes, oxygen, fuel, rain water etc. Plants growing on higher plants are named epiphytes are also of great importance for human kind as food and medicine. Epiphytes have their innate bioactive contents in their components in a varied level. They are highly tolerant to the adverse conditions of the climate than their hosts. These resistant properties give us a clue to exploit their metabolites for the purpose of treating our crop seeds. Thus, polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids other antioxidants in them are promising as antifungal agents helpful to have eco friendly strategies in place of synthetic hazardous compounds being used in the agricultural system. The purified antifungal compounds will promise us to utilize them to for crop seed treatment in vitro at the time of sowing, which is highly helpful for boosting the crop irrespective of the species.

Abstract

The kinetics of co - oxidation study of anils and oxalic acid by PCC in aqueous acetic acid had been studied under different experimental conditions. The order is one with respect to oxalic acid , anil , and PPC. The order is 1.5 with respect to [ H+ ]. The oxidation was found to increase with increase of perchloric oxalic acids. The rate of the reaction was increased by the addition of NaClo4 . The protonated species of the oxidant is involved in the rate - determining step. The effect of various meta and para -substituted anils on the reaction rate had been studied at four different temperatures viz., 35 , 40 , 45 and 50 0 c and the thermodynamic parameters are also calculated. The analysis of rate constants of ortho substituents reveas that the localized and delocalized effects are major components while steric effect place only the minor role.

Abstract

A real time PCR assay (rt-PCR), using Taqman minor groove binder (MGB) probes was developed to quantify and differentiate two strains of Xylella fastidiosa, Pierce’s Disease (PD) strain and Almond Leaf Scorch (ALS) strain. Two isolates, Temecula and Dixon, were used as references for the PD strain and the ALS strain, respectively. Primers and probes based on the gyraseB sequence were able to distinguish between both the isolates, and DNA concentrations as low as 1.01×10-5 ng/µl (3 copy number/µl) were detected. MGB probes were also able to distinguish between the Temecula and Dixon isolate DNA from a mixture of the two DNA’s. Whereas the Temecula specific MGB probe showed 106–fold resolution, the Dixon specific probe showed only 10-fold resolution. We have developed a reliable, sensitive and specific rt-PCR assay using MGB probes to quantify and distinguish DNA of the two strains of X. fastidiosa.

Abstract

One of the most frequent gynaecological malignancies in the world and one of the main causes of cancer-based female death is ovarian cancer. About 3 out of 4 (72.4 percent) women with OC survive for at least one year following diagnosis for all forms of ovarian cancer. Five years after diagnosis, almost half (46.2 per cent) of women with OC are still living. Ovarian epithelial malignancies are mostly imported from the endometrial or fallopian tube epithelium. Ovarian cancer therapy is difficult because of a frequent recurrence of diseases and further difficult owing to chemical resistance. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) continue to get interest since they are known to withstand chemical treatment, to renovate themselves, and to re-populate the bulk cell tumour. CSCs also seem to respond quickly to environmental, immunological and pharmacological indications. The flexibility and capacity to inactivate or activate signaling pathways that support their lifespan has been and remains the difficulty in creating effective CSC-targeted treatments. The identification and comprehension of distinct ovarian CSC markers and the pathways may provide novel therapeutic possibilities that provide different therapy adjuvant choices. Here we will examine the characterization of ovarian CSC in OC and stem, isolation and enhancement of CSC and OCSCs signals and targeted therapies.

Abstract

Cellulase creation from bacteria can be a favourable position as the enzyme generation rate is typically higher because of the higher bacterial development rate when contrasted with fungi. Screening of bacteria, advancement of fermentation conditions and choice of substrates are imperative for the fruitful creation of cellulase. This study was conducted from isolation of cellulolytic bacteria from Damp wood termite. They were similar like Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Cellulomonas and using media optimization method for highest production of cellulase and using this cellulase for saccharification of lignocellulosic waste. The highest cellulase producing ability of isolate from this study was found to be 51.9 IU/ml with 48 hours of incubation and as carboxymethyl cellulose as substrate. Treated and untreated corncob was subjected to saccharification. Highest saccharification was observed with 15gm of substrate treated with 3% NaOH at 50ºC for 30min.

Abstract

The lipase production by Streptomyces halstedii strain ST 70, a mangrove isolate was enhanced through the modifications of cultural conditions and nutritional amendments. The strain produced 26.1 U/mL enzyme in presence of starch, glycine and ammonium chloride that was enhanced upto 56.1 U/ml with 50% ammonium sulphate precipitation. Results showed that tween 80 is required as inducer to enhance the lipase production. The enzyme was found to be stable at various temperature and pH where as saline condition did not favour higher enzyme activity. The present study reveals importance towards the industrial level exploitation of this strain due to its origin and only few Streptomyces strains are reported for lipase production.

Abstract

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) polymorphism was employed to assess the genetic variations in the germplasm of Eucalyptus tereticornis. 15 trees under cultivation were analysed with 10 RAPD primers and 4 ISSR Primers of which all RAPD Primers and only 2 ISSR primers showed reproducible results. Marker attributes like Polymorphism Information Content (PIC), Effective Multiplex Ratio (EMR), and Marker Index (MI) and Informative bands (Ib) values were calculated to assess the discriminatory power of RAPD and ISSR primers. For RAPD primers the PIC values ranged from 0.34 to 0.50, the EMR ranged from 34 to 201, the MI value ranged from 17 to 88.44 with an average of 9.119 per primers. For ISSR primers the PIC values ranged from 0.36 to 0.41 with an average of 0.38 per primer. The EMR ranged from 122 to 129.6 and the MI values ranged from 50.02 to 46.65 with an average of 46.65 per primer. The Ib value ranged from 50 to 56 with an average of 53 per primer combination. The UPGMA-phenogram categorized the 15 trees into two major clusters based on genetic similarity and dissimilarity.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is gaining more attraction in various fields, including Agriculture. Green synthesis of nanoparticles has emerged as a simple, viable, and alternative eco-friendly method for nanoparticle synthesis when compared with the chemical method. In the present study, Copper nanoparticles have been synthesized using aquatic weed Kappaphycus alvarezii extract, and characterization was done. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited maximum absorption at 630 to 650nm, which is (SPR) for Copper nanoparticles. The Copper nanoparticles were characterized based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and whose size was found to be in the ranges from 40 to 80nm. The XRD analysis of synthesized copper nanoparticles showed four peaks at 35.5, 38.6, 48.5, 61.5, and 68.02 angles it confirms the presence of Copper nano. The antifungal activity of the Copper nanoparticles was checked against Colletotrichum capsici at different concentrations, i.e., 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 600ppm, in which the significant zone of inhibition was observed on PDA amended with 100ppm of copper nanoparticles in vitro. Further, the same resulted in reduced sporulation and Mycelial growth to a greater extent. This has promised that the newly synthesized Copper nanoparticles could be used as an antifungal agent for crop disease management, especially in the case of anthracnose.

Abstract

FASN (Fatty Acid Synthase) is regarded as a candidate gene for milk production traits in cattle which is a multidomain enzyme complex and functions for the synthesis of palmitic acid through denovo lipogenesis. The current emphasis world over is to identify the genetic mechanisms behind the milk composition and milk production traits like fat synthesis for identification of genetic signatures behind economic traits and their use in the selection of quality animals of breeds. The high concentration of dietary monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are found to be associated with low cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins level, which aids in decreasing the risk of several cardiovascular diseases. In view of this, the studies related to the identification of genetic variation within FASN candidate gene reported to be exhibiting significant SNPs related to milk composition and production traits need to be reviewed for understanding the identified significant genetic variants, effective techniques, its impact on its possible use as DNA marker for fat milk traits in selection and breeding decisions of cattle breed improvement.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infectious diseases diagnosed and management of urinary tract infections is complicated by the increasing prevalence of virulent antibiotic-resistant strains. The present study was designed to isolate the virulent organisms and their drug sensitivity status in a certain community. Total 100 urine samples were collected from patients with clinically diagnosed UTI attending both out-door and in-door patient from the prescription point. The isolates were identified by standard microbiological and biochemical process. From the total collected urine samples of the patients, 80% samples showed culture positive. Moreover, female patients were found more infected than male. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp & Staphylococcus spp were prevalent in all urine samples isolated from the diagnostic centers and subjected to characterizations namely cultural and biochemical identification, microscopic observation, identification of ESBL positive strain, antibiogram, and hemolytic assay study for the detection of virulence property. In this study 86% E. coli and 40% Klebsiella spp shown positive result for the presence of ? lactamase. E. coli, Klebsiella spp & Staphylococcus spp. showed multiple resistances of 6 to 8 antibiotics. E. coli and Klebsiella spp were 100% sensitive to imipenem and amikacin and compared to the other antibiotics tested and therefore these may be the drugs of choice for the treatment of UTIs.

Abstract

Bacterial leaf blight of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) considered as a serious disease in the nurseries especially in Northern region of Bangladesh. Survey was conducted on leaf blight of litchi in 7 cultivating litchi varieties in the country. Leaf blight was common in all 7 varieties viz. Bedana, Bombai, Haria Bombai, Madrajie, China-2, China-3 and Kathali lichu. The incidence and severity of leaf blight of litchi ranged from 13.5 to 41% and 11.5 to 33.5%, respectively. In vitro test revealed that all isolates of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae did not show resistance to Gentamicin. In the net house, six different treatments viz. Gentamicin (0.05%), Erythromycin (0.05%), Doxycycline (0.05%), Copper sulphate (0.05%), BAU-Biofungicide (2%) and Control were used in controlling bacterial leaf blight of litchi (Variety: Chaina-3). BAU-Biofungicide @ 2% was found superior for controlling leaf blight that increased 14.48% sapling height, 38.83% branch and reduced 72.96% disease incidence as well as 51.38% disease severity followed by Gentamycin @ 0.05% over control.

Abstract

The pulse transit time (PTT) is commonly used to monitor pulse wave velocity (PWV). In general, the instruments of signal acquisition, from which these physiological variables are estimated, require a contact surface for the sensors` installation and positioning, such as an inflatable cuff, creating a restriction or obstruction to the users` movement and ergonomics. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a contactless cardiovascular monitor, which can measure the PTT and PWV by analyzing the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal obtained by an RGB camera`s green channel, i.e., without using sensors in contact with the skin. This monitor requires the PPG signal acquisition of two different regions of interest simultaneously: the forehead and right-hand palm. The time differences between two critical points of PPG signals were used to input machine learning algorithms, alongside other input features, such as user’s gender, height, and weight, to estimate Aortic PTT. The proposed monitor was tested by comparing its measurements of 36 healthy volunteers to the CARDIOS Dyna-MAPA+, gold standard equipment for these physiological variables measurement, showing a Pearson correlation coefficient of approximately 0.77 and a mean squared error of 0.104×10-3 for Aortic PTT.

Abstract

With the advent of modern technologies and advanced process, industries had grown by leaps and bounds. Rapid industrialization had in over exploitation of our resources leading to security, simultaneously discharging the pollutant into the environment beyond its assimilative capacity. The impact of such continual exploitation and pollution had lead to the contamination of our water bodies, land and ambient air with toxic compound, which is now threatening the very survival human and other living beings. Maintaining and improving soil, water, and air quality represent some of the most formidable challenges facing global society in the 21st century. Pollutants from such diverse sources as oil and chemical spills,pesticide and fertilizer runoff, abandoned and mining sites, and airborne gaseous an particulate matter from automobile emission and domestic wastes, municipal and industrial solid gets accumulated in the environment. Detecting and treating existing containments and preventing new pollution are amongb the challenges. The aggregate financial burden for improving air, water , and soil quality is truly staggering. In fight of these enormous and complex challenges, it is perhaps ironic that one prospective solution is minute in size but massively powerful in capacity nanotechnology. The remediation of contaminants by use of existing technologies will not be effective enough to meet the futuristic environmental standards and needs innovative advanced technology. Environmental nanotechnology would be a new technology to remediate and treat the contaminants to the acceptable level. Environment scientist are working with nano-scale structure of manipulating matter at the atomic or molecular scale that has cut across such disciplines as chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. Deposit a largely unproven track record in the environmental area, Nanotechnology offers great promise for delivering new and improved environmental technologies. However, proliferation of nanotechnology could also lead to new environmental problems, such as a new classes of toxins or relatedenvironmental hazards. Natural weathering of minerals, such as iron oxides and silicates, and microorganisms, such as bacteria and algae, produce nano-scale collides, which include dispersion of nano sized- particle in media with special properties that can be important in the fate, transport, transformer, and bioavailability of environmentally harmful substances.

Abstract

The genus Embelia tsjeriam-Cottam A.DC. belongs to the family Myrsinaceae. It is a shrub in nature. Globally the species is recorded from India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. It is found in India found in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh. Embelin, a benzoquinone, and gallic acid 2, polyphenol compounds are reported in species as antioxidant and anticancer properties. Presently the species is under the rare category. Therefore, it is an urgent need to develop an appropriate propagation technology for its conservation and multiplication. This paper highlights the quantitative estimation of bioactive compound Embelin through HPLC for the identification of quality germplasm. The identified quality planting material was subjected to their in vitro multiplication.
Germplasm of Borivali forest area, Maharashtra showed optimum 4.88% Embelin. Optimum in vitro morphogenetic response in terms of shoot multiplication was achieved when the MS culture medium was supplemented with BAP 3.0mg/lt + IAA 1.0mg/lt. Average 22 green and healthy shoots with 6.16cm length were induced. The in vitro regenerated shoots were shifted forex vitro rooting. IBA 100ppm solution showed an excellent rooting response. After rooting, the plants were acclimatized and hardened in a greenhouse with more than 74% plant recoveries.

Abstract

Plants are the precious gift given by nature to mankind. The commercial important of flowers has been realized throughout the world and today floriculture has developed into an intensive form of agriculture. Flowers and gardens have for long been important in India , for three main considerations namely aesthetic , Economic and Social. Zinnia has many types depending mainly on the shape and size of flower , plant height and cultivars in each type varying in flower colour. India is endowed with natural wealth of plant materials, which are of great horticultural and floricultural importantand significance. Maintaining adequate quantities of nutrients in soil or growing media is important .Nitrogen , Phosphorous and Potash are required in relatively large amount while most other nutrients are needed in only in small amounts.

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases lead the world ranking of causes of death. The ubiquitous health monitoring is essential because it allows for an early diagnosis and prevents fatalities. Physiological variables that provide information about the cardiovascular system can be estimated by the photoplethysmographic signal (PPG), which can be recovered without contact with the camera. This work presents software capable of estimating physiological variables from the PPG signal obtained by a camera. They are also features implemented to improve the usability of the software.

Abstract

The quality/portability of water that is consumed defines the baseline of protection against many diseases and infections. The present study aimed to calculate the monthly variation of physicochemical parameters of Tilyar Lake and the most suitable microbial strain for the survival of aquatic life. Water samples were collected from each sampling station and analyzed for estimation of pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Phosphate (PO43-), Nitrate (NO3–). During the study 12 different microbial strains have been selected from which Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain was found to be the most effective and consumes less dissolved oxygen as compared to 11 different microbial strains. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can work at a wide range of temperatures and consumption of DO is least as compared to the other 11 microbes during the experiments, the total of 138 liters of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sample needs to be added at a rate of 35.71?l/l (V/V).

Abstract

The activated sludge method may be a waste water treatment methodology during which the carbonic organic matter of waste water provides Associate in Nursing energy supply for the assembly of latest cells for a mixed population of small organism in Associate in Nursing aquatic aerobic setting. The microbes convert carbon into cell tissue and change and product that embrace CO2 and water. Fungi, rotifers and protozoa’s also are residence of activated sludge. Viruses of human origin could also be found in raw waste material incoming, however an outsized proportion seem to be removed by the activated sludge method.

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to in situ study the effect of seed bio-priming with microbial inoculants on pre and post-emergence mortality, germination, shoot and root fresh weight and vigour index in tomato, brinjal, onion and chilli vegetables at College of Horticulture, S.D. Agricultural University, Jagudan (Mehsana), Gujarat, India during 2017 and 2019. Two Trichoderma spp. (T. harzianum and T. viride ), P. fluorescens and hydro priming at 6,12 and 18 hours. Among the treatments minimum pre-emergence mortality per cent (15.22,13.94,15.60 and 18.65), minimum post-emergence mortality per cent (11.50, 10.30, 10.83 and 11.60), minimum days to start germination (3.72, 4.00,4.03 and 4.03), minimum days have taken to 50 % germination (4.72, 5.33, 6.03 and 5.11), maximum final germination percentage ( 84.89, 82.36, 79.72 and 78.44), maximum root length in centimetre (15.49, 11.51, 8.64 and 15.27), maximum shoot length in centimetre ( 12.47, 9.88, 14.82 and 15.24), maximum seedling vigour index (2373.43, 1762.31, 1857.90 and 2421.31) maximum fresh root weight in gram (1.45,1.66, 1.68 and 1.46) and maximum shoot fresh weight in gram (2.01,2.47, 3.05 and 2.22) was recorded in T10 (bio priming with T. harzianumfor 12 hrs) in tomato, brinjal, onion and chilli vegetables, respectively. The present study thus reveals that seed bio priming with T. harzianum or P. fluorescens for 12 hrs. Reduced pre and post-emergence mortality, enhanced germination, root and shot fresh weight and vigour index in tomato, brinjal, onion and chilli. It is therefore suggested that before sowing tomato, brinjal, onion and chilli seed should be treated with 10 g/kg of T. harzianum or P. fluorescens in 20 ml distilled water for 12 hours.

Abstract

In the current research work a sample liquid is taken and attempt has been made for it to drive expressions for internal pressure and mean free volume occupied per molecules which depend up on the packing of molecules. Thermodynamical parameters like entropy, volume and temperature liquid property like viscosity are considered for deriving the expression of internal pressure. For the expression of free volume per molecule liquid properties like viscosity and the formula given by C.S.Suryanarayana &et.al are used.

Abstract

Data mining is the latest tool available to explore the hidden information from the large amount of database, this can be done by applying the data mining in the library database. Data mining is usually employed on very large database. Library is a source of all knowledge and learning. Libraries are also generating large volume of data, but data mining techniques have to be used for dynamically analyzing the library database and to make strategic decisions for managing the library in an efficient manner. By applying association rule mining techniques, strategic decisions can be taken for library management.

Abstract

Insects can be easily employed in our diets to make up for severe protein and vitamin deficiencies in the population. In this study, two insect species, namely Silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae (SP) and Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) (BSF), were considered for the experimentation. This work aims to produce insect meals from the two samples and evaluate their physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory qualities. The mean values of crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, total ash, and total moisture on a dry matter basis (%) were found as 8.44(SP), 8.70(BSF), 57.44(SP), 42.8(BSF), 38.3(SP), 35.3(BSF), 0.25(SP), 9.4(BSF), 4.01(SP), 12.1(BSF) respectively. Proximate analysis was done as per methods of AOAC, 2000. Amino acid profiling was conducted after extraction and pre-column treatment using a ZORBAX Eclipse AAA column with gradient elution. Vitamin analysis was carried out using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and was expressed in ?g/g.

Abstract

This research aims to propagate buds of Mentha pulegium and forming callus, then determine the antifungal activity of ethanol, methanol for both stem node callus extract, and shoots extract M.pulegium against Acremonium strictum. The stem nodes segments of M. pulegium were cut into 0.5-1 cm in length and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) solid medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, and different concentration of benzyl amino purine (BAP) was added either alone to propagate buds or in combination with 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2;4-D) to form a callus. The MS was gelled with 8% agar. Antifungal activity was performed in Petri dishes (poisoned food). The maximum number of callus (98.33±1.96%) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l BAP in combination with 1mg/l 2,4-D, and the maximum number of shoots (20±0.88) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 1mg/l of BAP. The results showed a higher efficiency of ethanol extracts than those of methanol. Ethanol and methanol extracts of callus were generally better than shoots extracts. MIC ( Minimum Inhibition Concentration) value of the callus extract was 0.02 g / ml when using ethanol or methanol as an organic solvent, but the MIC value of the shoots extract was 0.03g/ml when using ethanol or methanol as an organic solvent.

Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the principal cereal crops around the globe. A study was conducted to assess molecular diversity of four rice hybrid varieties released from a private seed company using PCR-based Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Single Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 20 RAPD primers and 4 SSR primers were used to determine polymorphism among the rice hybrids. Some total 76 DNA bands were amplified through RAPD primers. Among them 24 were polymorphic bands. The rate of polymorphism was obtained about 30.20%. Genetic diversity ranged from 0.083 to 0.438 and the frequency of major allele ranged from 0.625 to 0.917. The PIC value ranged from 0.063 to 0.340 with the average value 0.150. The PIC value indicated that the studied rice hybrids had low molecular diversity. The dendrogram indicating the relative genetic similarity of the rice hybrids was constructed which followed three major clusters (A, B and C) among the studied material. Two SSR primers showed polymorphic bands which can be used as an evidence of variety protection data. These experimental findings can be used for the protection of hybrids in commercial purpose and in managing rice genetic resource in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Chemicals are widely used in industries. Many chemicals and radiations have bio-importance but the toxic effects of many of them in human biochemistry are of great concern. All these carcinogenic harmful substance pose serious public health issue as they are one of the most widespread environmental and industrial toxins. Hence, there is the need for proper understanding of the conditions, such as the concentrations and states, which make them harmful. It is also important to know their sources, processes, chemical conversions and their modes of deposition to pollute the environment, which essentially supports lives. These are released into the environment by both natural and anthropogenic sources. They percolate into underground waters, moving along water pathways and eventually depositing in the soil. Poisoning and toxicity in animals occur frequently through exchange and co-ordination mechanisms. Exposures to hazardous materials have been associated with a number of serious systemic toxicological effects involving the nervous system, blood-forming organs, reproductive system, lung and kidney. Studies have shown genotoxic effects in workers exposed to toxic chemicals.Occupational exposure assessment is the strategy which helps employers to protect the health of workers who are exposed to chemicals in their workplace. Our study suggest workers comprise the risk group requires adequate safety, precautionary and preventivemeasures could only minimize exposure and the related health hazards.

Abstract

The review study was carried out from different research data to find out the innovative latest technology in the transgenic plant production and its application in Agriculture like plant, fruit and vegetables. Transgenic plant production using T-DNA transformation by tissue culture with Agrobacterium mediated media in wild potato, potato, tomato, maize, apple, sweet orange, stawberry etc. has been described well. Transgenic plant production applied by dip, swabbing, drip, injection in xylem, phloem tissue, stem, flower and ovary method has been exhibited as innovative from different research data. In addition to that transgenic melon and squish production have been highlighted from different innovative research data. Moreover, Transgenic okra and hard wood plant production by injection using Agrobacterium mediated gene. Finally it can be summarized that transgenic ornamental plant, flower, fruit and vegetable can be produced by using different technologies like in vitro cell or tissue culture of leave disc, shoot and root slice having different concentration of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (used as Ti plasmid and genomic DNA) media by injecting in the stem, xylem and phloem tissue, bud, flower, ovary as well as swabbing, dipping, dripping and micro spraying technologies.

Abstract

Efficiency in the identification of bacterial isolates is of paramount importance in clinical microbiology for the correct diagnosis of infections and their subsequent treatment. It is also highly required in environmental microbiology to identify new isolates and the knowledge of the biodiversity of an environment. This raises the need for the development of identification methodologies, which make this practice accessible, safe, and at lower costs, with the emergence, in this sense, of the use of hyperspectral imaging technologies (HSI). In this study, we investigated the potential of HSI in differentiating different bacterial genera. For this, bacterial isolates obtained from water samples were previously sequenced and identified based on the 16S rRNA gene and then grown in Petri dishes containing culture medium. The HSI of each isolate was acquired using an short infrared wave imaging system (SWIR) at the SisuCHEMA workstation. Principal component analyzes showed a clear differentiation between genera and bacterial species. To transform these differentiation assays into an applicable identification methodology, it is necessary to build robust databases capable of covering the wide range of bacterial diversity. The primary results demonstrate that HSI is an objective tool and widely capable of promoting improvements in the identification of bacteria.

Abstract

Municipal solid waste containing a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds which causes contamination to the environment. Heavy metals are major components of inorganic compounds and cannot degrade. Due to their toxic nature, it’s necessary to remove from environment. Conventionally metal removal by classis techniques involve expensive methodologies and not get to successful optimum results. Currently the biological methods such as Biosorption have receiving attention to remove heavy metals from environment. The technique also has significant role in recovery of metals of economic importance from various solution phases, as it is economic and producing less quantity of toxic products using biological material e.g. bacteria. Various other biomaterials are also used to bind pollutants e.g. fungi, algae and wastes of agricultural and industrial products. The biosorbents of bacterial origin has proven their good performance with low cost and feasibility. They have multivariate functional units for biosorption, which is dependent on various physicochemical parameters. In this review the problems associated with bacterial biosorption are analyzed, and suitable remedies are discussed. The ways of heavy metals removal with significance of methods, procedural ways of biosorption studies and the role of bacteria as biosorbent are also focused.

Abstract

The world is distressing to eradicate COVID-19 pandemic and at this point of time, the available medicine (repurposed drugs) and existing technology are the only first hand weapons for immediate exploration. The review paper discusses the role of Bioinformatics with software packages, biological databases to understand genetic traits, mutations of the virus, also the role of Computation biology techniques for realistic mathematic modelling, simulations and the generalized overview on Computer Technologies accessible from modern computer including supercomputer was highlighted with reference to combating the COVID-19 Virus. The development of target drugs and vaccine with Computer aided drug design (CADD) in line with Artificial intelligence (AI) and Cloud computing (CC) techniques was discussed. On the other hand the role of Internet of things (IOT), Big data analytics (BDA) for data exchange, processing and analysis was overviewed. Hence it is been realized that a multifaceted understanding of Bioinformatics, Computation Biology and Computer Technologies is the real need of the hour for this emergency situation to understand, analyze the Corona virus crisis as well as to develop Therapeutic drugs and Vaccines.

Abstract

Background: Soybean protein is an important nutrient in the human diet. Soya chunks are the best protein sources and also contain good sources of minerals, fibers, and vitamins. Due to good fiber content, it helps to fight diabetes and control obesity. Minerals help to strengthen bones and fight insomnia. Vitamins play an important role in blood clotting and pregnancy.

Methods: A total of 4 different soya chunks (TVP) samples were collected from different companies for analysis of total plate count, moisture content, water activity, yeast, and mold count.

Results: The study revealed no microbial contamination in soya chunks (TVP) however moisture content and water activity were 6 to 10 % and 0.5 – 0.6 respectively because soya chunks are highly processed and high-temperature extrusion products. Further study, 20 different samples taken for quantification analysis of urease activity, and contamination of aflatoxins. Urease activity aims to study the grade of the soya chunks processing treatment. This test estimate increase in the pH outcomes of the liberation of ammonia into the media transpires from the breakdown of urea by the urease present in soybean products. The degree of processing of urease activity (?pH) is under processing is above 0.20, adequately processed is ranges from 0.05 to 0.20, and over-processed is below 0.05. It was found that the urease activity of soya chunks was under process.( 0.2 -0.4) The 20 different samples of soya chunks tested for the contamination of aflatoxin and the result shows that all 20 different samples are not detected below the limit of quantification of aflatoxinB1 is 5 microgram/Kg

Methods: The antibacterial potential of the methanolic leaf extract of the studied species was tested against Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus pyrogens and Bacillus subtilis by agar well diffusion method. The higher zone of inhibition (15mm) was observed against the bacterium Bacillus subtilisat (100?l) concentration of methanol leaf extract. Results: Preliminary phytochemical analysis of studied species shows that presence of phytochemical compounds like alkaloids, tannins, reducing sugars and flavonoids. GC-MS analysis confirms the occurrence of 20 different compounds in the methanol leaf extract of the both studied species. Conclusions: The obtained results provide a support for the use of this plant in traditional medicine but further pharmacokinetics studies are required.

Abstract

The study aims to present a general overview of the process of HTA for biotechnology medicines in Bulgaria with special emphasis on hospital practice. It is a regulatory and desktop analysis. We studied the current regulation for HTA of new medicines in Bulgaria for special requirements towards biotechnology medicines for hospital use. A review of the scientific literature on the topic was also undertaken for articles from Bulgarian authors in the field. HTA in the Bulgarian regulatory practice was introduced in 2015 with changes in the Drug Law. The law necessitated that the National Pricing and Reimbursement Council had to perform a HTA of new medicines for the purposes of their inclusion into the Positive Drug List. Our study identified 30 articles, and out of them 17 meeting the inclusion criteria. Those studies could be separated in three therapeutic areas – diabetes, oncology, rare diseases therapy. In the above mentioned areas, newly introduced biotechnology medicines prevail and part of them are originator, others are generic medicines. The process of HTA did not differ between synthetic or biotechnology medicines in Bulgaria. Listing and inclusion into the positive drug list is separated between medicines for ambulatory and hospital settings. Hospital pharmacies should develop rules for internal evaluation of the new technologies from the point of view of the hospital budget.

Abstract

Studies on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants have been carried out to plant tissue culture laboratories because of the disease and virulent free seed tubers in field conditions. Since generative production in commercial potato production is not economically massive, production is made more economically with tubers. Jasmonic acid (JA) and its related compounds are newly recognized plant growth regulators and they are known to have effects on many physiological processes. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate and sucrose on micro tuber formation in potato micropropagation. To serve the purpose the relationships between twelve media combinations (including control medium), varying concentrations of sucrose (3, 6 and 9 %) either alone or in combination with 1.0 ppm or 2.0 ppm methyl jasmonate were investigated. Three different plant parts such as node, shoot eye and primordial tissue wereused as explant sources. Nitsch&Nitsch was used as the basic nutrient medium and plant growth regulators that used in media were constant at 2.5 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L NAA except for control medium. Obtained micro tubers, plantlets and callus formations were recorded and analyzed. Results revealed that, when methyl jasmonate used at 1.0 ppm concentration in media, it had a positive effect on micro tuber formation and can be recommended to use commercially in mass production.

Abstract

In this work, the gene of ?-amylase from B. subtilis was cloned and expressed in Non-amylase produsing E.coli. B. subtilis was isolated by performing various biochemical tests. The organism producing ?-amylase enzyme was successfully isolated. The isolation of genomic DNA followed by amplification of Gene Of Interest using ?-amylase primer and annealing temperature 56°C was done using PCR technique. The amplified product was eluted from electrophoresis gel and subjected to restriction digestion (EcoRI) and then ligation with the vector (Plasmid DNA pUC18). A competent cell was prepared using chemical method (CaCl2). The ligation mixture was allowed to react with the competent cells in order to produce transformed cells producing ?-amylase enzyme. The mixture was spread over the starch plates. The successfully transformed E.coli cells were observed over the Starch agar plate.

Abstract

Belief based therapies or alternative cancer therapies are prevalent in the current scenario. A scientifically proven study is necessary to authenticate the natural remedies to be considered as complementary rather than alternate therapies. Cellular abnormalities or action of radical oxygen molecules can be altered by providing required components. Vitamin B17 or amygdalin is known to have a potential anticancer property by production of hydrogen cyanide. Plant samples such as Apricot seed kernel, wheat buds and Tulsi leaves have indicated the presence of B17 in nature. The richness of Vitamin B17 as well as antioxidant capability in these samples has been qualitatively assessed and compared. The results indicated that apricot seed kernel extract has more B17 than the others and effective.

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effects of abscissic acid (ABA) on the peach shoot and bark phloem tissue growth. The results of the hormonal effects [abscissic acid (ABA)] showed the study on the peach shoot and phloem tissue and prospect of the inhibition of cancer cell division and multiplication. The result presented using peach shoot and bark phloem tissue growth inhibition applying the hormonal application of ABA at different concentrations. The result observed the highest shoot (74.6% at ABA 2000ppm) and bark phloem tissue (100% at ABA 2000ppm) were excessively inhibited. From the results indication, it can be concluded that it is excessively possible to inhibit of the growth of plant shoot and bark tissue by affecting cell division and cell differentiation using ABA and the highest plant tissue growth was inhibited 100% at 2000ppm ABA. So, from our results, it can obviously be prospected that ABA at different concentrations can be effectively inhibited the human cancer cell growth.

Abstract

Background:Infection in healthcare workers is a major public health problem in most developing countries. Infections acquired as a result of poor practice are a major health concern, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality worldwide. Although prevention of health-worker related infections is central to the delivery of high-quality care and most of these infections can be prevented with relatively low cost, many health facilities have no effective preventionprograms.Improving health staff behavioural change and developing infection prevention guidelines is required. Therefore the aim of this study was to asses practice and associated factors towards infection control measures in the delivery room among Health workers in Shone Badawacho, Hadyia Zone Ethiopia.

Methods: A Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Shone Hospital, Ethiopia from January 1 to February 30/2020. A total of 217health care workers were included and binary and multiple logistic regressionswere used to see the association of variable withthe practice of infection prevention.

Result:Healthcare workers` (HCWs)practice on infection prevention control measures was 53.9% and the remaining 46.1% demonstrated it poorly. Participants whose age greater than 50years [AOR=1.48, 95% CI [1.99-2.36], take infection prevention training (AOR=6.68, 95% CI [1.57-20.73] and, know infection prevention guideline [AOR=1.92, 95% CI [1.31-2.73]were more likely practicing infection prevention than others. However, male health workers were 62% less likely practicing infection prevention than female workers [AOR=0.38, 95% CI [0.55-0.770] and those who have much workload were 30% less likely practiced IPP than others [AOR= 0.70 CI95% [0.120-0.54].

Conclusion:The overall practice of infection prevention was found to be low and most practiced poorly. Therefore improving institutional supplies like hand hygiene material, PPE, waste disposal materials and developing safe infection prevention programs/guidelines and training of workers with the up-to-date infection prevention guidelines is recommended.

Abstract

Anseriformes as the large waterfowl living in the northern hemisphere, with the size and shape is between that of duck and swan. Its aquatic habit and characteristics were worse than that of duck and swan. With the continuous development of economy, the temptation of high profits and the weak awareness of environmental protection, the cases of killing the wild geese illegally have been reported in our country. However, in the process of law enforcement, the executor often lack of clear morphological evidence supporting, which makes the identification difficult. In this paper, we successfully identify several wild goose meat products by means of molecular genetics, and discuss the operation techniques and marker selection of molecular genetics in species identification based on related researches. At the same time, it also provides a streamlined and practical technical route for the determination of species in such cases.

Abstract

Genome editing of crops has been observed to be rapidly advancing technology to introduce targeted mutations in plant genomes. The advances in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR associated (Cas) protein systems have enabled targeted genome editing for crop improvement as compared to the previous methods including zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) that were time consuming and expensive. This technology works by repairing the double stranded breaks (DSB) by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and homology directed repair (HDR) and targets the gene of interest more precisely. In this review, we highlight the basic mechanism of CRISPR Cas9 system including the adaptation of CRISPR Cas9 system and its variants in plant editing. A RNA guided endonuclease, Cas9 has been used for generating stable knock out and knock in mutants in several plant species. We further review the delivery systems and the applications of CRISPR in trait improvement of crops. We outline the future perspectives of CRISPR Cas9 genome editing for regulating the gene expression and increasing the editing efficiency in medicine and agriculture. Application of CRISPR Cas9 for non-GMO crop editing with desirable trait can lead to increased yield of crops under environmental stress conditions.

Abstract

This paper presents Hidden Markov Models (HMM) with clustering algorithm for forecasting the stock Behavior. In practice HMM has been utilized in pattern recognition and classification problem. In recent days it is applied to study the stock market behavior. This model Performed well in the study of financial market. Firstly the Gaussian Mixture distribution identifies the number of components in the data. In this study, the clustering algorithm utilized to classifying the sequence. It gives better result than conventional classification method. On the Basis of experiment it was found that HMM with Clustering algorithm performed well and gives Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) 1.31%.

Abstract

Scanning electron microscopic study on pollens of eight important bee floral resources collected from Kangra hills of Himachal Pradesh were carried. Pollens grains were investigated for size, shape, types of pores, exine sculptures and aggregation. Size of studied pollens varies from 14 ?m X 12.8 ?m in Eucalyptus sp. to 48.5 ?m X 40 ?m in Grevillea robusta. Shapes present were round, oval, triangular and types of aperture were pore in Taraxacum officinalis and Grevillea robusta whereas others were colpa and colporate. Six different types of exine sculpture were present i.e. fenestrate in Taraxacum officinalis; verrucate in Largerstroemia indica; Reticulate in Plectranthus rugosus and Grewia optiva; Faveolate in Melia azaderach; Scabrate in Eucalyptus sp. and Grevillea robusta; Striate in Litchi chinensis. Aggregation present were of single types in all pollen grains. This Scanning Electron Microscopic studies helpful in accurate identification of pollen types present in honey samples, construction of reference pollen data of particular place and therefore useful in palynology and melissopalynology.

Abstract

This study is aimed at quantitative assessment of air borne bioaerosol in public spaces. Indoor air quality is an important contributor because modern human beings spend most of their life time in indoor. Therefore the quantification of airborne bacteria and fungi in public spaces such as health centers, auditoriums, libraries, seminar halls and rest room/toilets in Bangalore university campus was carried out by following standard impaction method and reported as colony forming units per cubic meter of air (CFU/m3). The results of above study revealed that average total fungal count in health center was 1,256 CFU/m3 in air conditioned (A/c) Auditorium; it was measured as 175 CFU/m3, at in library 2523 CFU/m3 , in seminar Hall 395 CFU/m3. , in Toilets it was 1,416 CFU/m3. . The average Total bacterial bioaerosol measured at health center was of 654 CFU/m3, at air conditioned Auditorium (AC) it was 310 CFU/m3, in library 1,159 CFU/m3, in seminar hall 586 CFU/m3 and in toilet 1,438 CFU/m3 respectively. The indoor to outdoor ratio of fungal and bacterial aerosol were found to be equal to 0.005 or > 0.005. From the above study we can conclude that the bioaerosol concentration in indoor environment is comparatively less than outdoor but high enough to cause infection in indoor occupants.

Abstract

Antimicrobial property is protecting your fabric from pathogenic microorganisms. These microbes can attack the cellulose in moist and humid conditions. To protect the textiles from these microbes, the textiles are treated with antimicrobial agents. Various synthetic antimicrobial agents are available at cheaper rate in market. But, these agents are non-eco-friendly in nature. Various medicinal herbs are available abundantly in India. These medicinal herbals have very good antimicrobial properties. These can be used as the alternative for the synthetic antimicrobial agents. The herbals, tulsi, aloe vera, garlic adamant creeper and so many medicinal herbals has antimicrobial property. In this paper some medicinal herbals that has antimicrobial properties are explained in this paper.

Abstract

A reproducible in vitro shoot regeneration protocol was developed for pigeonpea variety ICPL 87 through proliferation of axillary buds from cotyledonary nodes. The seedlings were cultured on MS + Kin (2 mgL-1) + BAP (5 mgL-1) medium and de-capitated on 7th day of culturing, which resulted in the induction of multiple shoots from cotyledonary node region after 15 days of culturing. Miniature shoots were elongated on MS + adenine suphate (30 mgL-1) medium; the elongated shoots were rooted ex vitro using a rooting powder ROOTEXTM.

Abstract

Nonpathogenic and nontoxic strains of microscopic fungi, from the collection of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology of the Agricultural University of Georgia have been screened for the selection of proteins active producers under the conditions of solid phase fermentation of the agricultural and food industry waste. Two active producers of proteins have been revealed: C. cellulotycum A 43 and S. pulverulentum A 32, as well as the perspective substrate for the bioconvertion – tomato-cake was selected. The optimal conditions for cultivation and composition of the nutritional medium for Ch. cellulotycum A 43 and Sp.pulverulentum A32 were established. Biomasses with 2.3-2.8 times higher content of pure protein, compared with control have been obtained on the base of optimization of the cultivation conditions and nutritional medium composition. The united cultivation of experimental strains was performed for the improvement of bioconversion degree. The synergetic effect of the combined cultivation of fungi on the tomato-cake has been demonstrated. The combined cultivation of C. cellulotycum A 43 and S. pulverulentum A 32 under the optimal conditions resulted in the production of sugar- (20%) and protein-rich (16.5%), easy-digestible, nontoxic and nonpathogenic biomass, which may be used as protein- and other bioactive substances-rich food additive.

Abstract

Central India is a second largest region of India, the dependable water source are lake, dame and rivers are natural water resource in and around the city which managed as dynamic vibrant life systems also suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes was carried out by local peoples. Assessment of organic pollution by Palmer’s Algal Genus Index and physico-chemical and biological characters of different aquatic habitats of central India which effectss aquatic environmental quality, ecological health as well as human health is demanded. Analysis of physico-chemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, chloride, sulphate, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium has been carried out. The organic pollution was analyzed and observed that all the sampling points wre dominated by toxic algal bloom in different aquatic habitats, the physico-chemical parameters supported enrichment of aquatic water with nutrients due to direct function of the environment. Direct microscopic examination of the water were used to determine the various types of algal genus which indicate different degrees of pollution as bioindicator and nutrient enrichment in water quality of central India.

Abstract

In general, the seeds of many legumes are rich in both oil and protein; therefore, these grain legumes are commonly used as an important staple food worldwide. Transgenetic manipulation or production of transgenic crops has been needed for genetic enhancement as part of plant breeding programmes. This study is an attempt to evaluate the advancements in technology based on genetic transformation in major primary grain legume crops such as; chickpea, pigeon pea, garden pea, mung bean and lentil. Moreover, this study also involves to analyzing the screening of the competent explants as target tissues for gene delivery, mode of gene transformation, and further selection of transgenic tissues followed by regeneration of transgenic plantlets. Although most reports on introducing genes into grain legumes are based upon the use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens during transformation experiments, however, there have been also parallel efforts involving the use of biolistics and electroporation methods to produce transgenic grain legume crops with essential improved traits.

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes with multi-walled MWCNTs were used to impregnated two materials semiconductors and metals which are TiO2 and Pt in ternary composites Pt:TiO2/MWCNT. The ternary composites Pt:TiO2/MWCNT were characterized by using two spectrum Raman and Fourier-transform infrared that shows many information that make clear images for the nature of groups on it. The Raman spectroscopy shows that TiO2 include three phases Rutile R, Anatase A, and Brokit B with two peaks which related to MWCNTs. FTIR give the indicators that ternary composites was empty from any adsorbent H2O and G and D band.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to evaluate the phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of natural honey samples collected from Uttarakhand district [H1] and Roorkee [H2]. The existence of phytochemicals such as saponins, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloid, reducing sugar, carbohydrates, monosaccharides, phytosterols, terpenes, anthocynins, quinines and cardiac-glycosides were analyzed by qualitative test. The result of phtyochemical identification illustrated that both honey samples have postiviely presented as containing saponins, tannins, flavonoids, protein and carbohydrates as compared to other components. The total phenolic content, flavonoids content, protein content, carbohydrates content and tannin content of honey were analyzed by using quantitative method. It was observed the protein content in sample H1 and H2 were detected at higher level which ranged 53.2mg/ml and 19.8mg/ml as compared to other phytochemicals respectively. It is also showed that honey samples have antioxidant properties were estimated by determining 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl [DPPH] quantity where sample H1 and H2 average percentage are 41.38% and 40.69% respectively. The current study indicates that honey is an effective source of nutrition which is helpful to cure untreated aliments.

Abstract

Bioformulation for plant growth promotion continue to inspire research and development in many fields. Increase in soil fertility, plant growth promotion, and suppression of phytopathogens are the targets of the bioformulation industry that leads to the development of ecofriendly environment. The rhizosphere bacteria have immense application in sustainable agriculture as ecofriendly biofertilizer and biopesticides. Intensive commercial farming involves excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is feared that practice of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides continually would result in gradual aggravation of soil fertility. The aim of the review is to assess the biologically control of plant pathogens in with the effective development of bioinoculant industry.

Abstract

Background:The burden of maternal mortality is the issue of both developed and developing countries. Especially in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, the problem magnifies due to poor quality of maternal health care services. This study was targeted to assess magnitude and associated factors of delay on first ANC visit among pregnant women attending ANC in Boditi Health Center, Boditi town, Southern Ethiopia: 2019.

Methods: Facility based cross-sectional study with systematic random sampling technique was employed to select 283 pregnant women enrolled in antenatal care unit at Boditi Health Center, Boditi town from April 1-30, 2019. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable logistic regression methods were used to analyze the data.

Result: Out of respondents who provided a complete answer, 172(62%) were delayed for their first ANC visit. Respondent’s living in urban area and those who had private employee husbands were negative associated with the outcome variable while, having a farmer husband, total number of biological living children, respondents who made decision together with their husband and those who reported the right time to start first ANC as after 16 weeks of last normal menstrual period were positively associated predictors of delay on first ANC visit.

Conclusion: This study has documented that delay on first ANC visit among pregnant women attending ANC unit at the study area was alarming.

Abstract

Cellulase production from bacteria can be an advantage as the enzyme production rate is normally higher due to the higher bacterial growth rate as compared to fungi. Screening of bacteria, optimisation of fermentation conditions and selection of substrates are important for the successful production of cellulase. This study is conducted to produce cellulase from tilapia fish gut bacteria, using Plackett Burman design and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as substrate. The highest cellulase producing ability of isolate from this study was found to be 0.323 IU/ml with 24 hours of incubation. With the help of Plackett-Burman design, maximum cellulolytic activities was observed in high levels of CMC, Urea, Peptone, Calcium chloride, magnesium sulphate and Trace elements and Low levels of Ammonium sulphate, and Di Potassium Hydrogen phosphate, at 37 °C and pH 7.0 which is found to be optimized levels of components.

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is described as microbe invasion in kidneys, ureter, urethra or urinary bladder causing discomfort, morbidity and mortality ending up to frequent hospital visits. E.coli, Enterobactor, Serratia species, Staphylococcus, and Klebsiella species are few main causes of UTI infections. In order to control the problem of UTI, it is important to understand the causes and distribution patterns of disease. Aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of different factors such as age, gender, and physiological condition on relative abundance of UTI. Semi-structured questionnaire was designed to collect information from UTI patients in local hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Data accumulated from current study highlighted the most common symptom of UTI in all age groups and gender was frequency of micturition (38.46%) followed by lower abdominal pain (35%). However, higher rate of UTI was reported in women especially age group 41-60 years. Another significant factor among women with UTI infection was pregnancy which might be due to physiological differences, hormonal effects or behavioral patterns. Careful analysis of life style factors of patients further draw attention to drinking water as a significant reason behind the occurrence of UTI as 58.2% patients were using tap water. In conclusion, data suggest age, gender and lifestyle factors as underlying cause of UTI in Pakistan and needs further research to understand their link and overcome the problem.

Abstract

In this paper a completely different approach for patient management using telemonitoring system is conferred. The watching of any human heartbeat rate and fall detection throughout outing needs wearable sensors for the patient. This paper describes a wireless wearable shirt for posture watching during outing or an out-of-doors. For watching patients at distance, many information technologies will be employed to send physiological signals and falling events to a healthcare center at any time and from anywhere. The topic posture was measured through a sensing element jersey by using associate nursing inductive sensor sewed directly on the material. A systematic review on chronic sicknesses like respiratory organ conditions, high blood pressure, and vas diseases is mentioned here. The incidence of the falling event, pressure level and heart beat rate is at the same time detected using the measuring system sensing element and arm cuff severally. If any abnormalities detected, a notification is shipped to the close health care system. These sensors ar integrated within the commonly using artefact. The world Positioning System (GPS) is employed to search out the relative position of the patient throughout the abnormal conditions.

Publication Ethics

Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas. SSRG aims to adhere to the Best Practice Guidelines framed on Publication Ethics (COPE) and abides by its Code of Conduct.

All manuscripts are subject to peer review and are expected to meet standards of academic excellence. If approved by the editor, submissions will be considered by peer-reviewers, whose identities will remain anonymous to the authors. Our Research Integrity team will occasionally seek advice outside standard peer review, for example, on submissions with serious ethical, security, biosecurity, or societal implications. We may consult experts and the academic editor before deciding on appropriate actions, including but not limited to: recruiting reviewers with specific expertise, assessment by additional editors, and declining to further consider a submission.

All journals published by SSRG are committed to publishing only original material, i.e., material that has neither been published elsewhere, nor is under review elsewhere. SSRG uses the software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will incur plagiarism sanctions.

Manuscripts that are found to have been published elsewhere, or to be under review elsewhere, will incur duplicate submission / publication sanctions. If authors have used their own previously published work, or work that is currently under review, as the basis for a submitted manuscript, they are required to cite the previous work and indicate how their submitted manuscript offers novel contributions beyond those of the previous work.

Submitted manuscripts that are found to include citations whose primary purpose is to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal, will incur citation manipulation sanctions.

Submitted manuscripts that are found to have either fabricated or falsified experimental results, including the manipulation of images, will incur data fabrication and falsification sanctions.

All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students, research scholar, project assistant, and laboratory technicians.

Redundant publications involve the inappropriate division of study outcomes into several articles.

Conflicts of interest (COIs, also known as ‘competing interests’) occur when issues outside research could be reasonably perceived to affect the neutrality or objectivity of the work or its assessment. Potential conflicts of interest must be declared – whether or not they actually had an influence – to allow informed decisions. In most cases, this declaration will not stop work from being published nor will it always prevent someone from being involved in a review process.

If unsure, declare a potential interest or discuss with the editorial office. Undeclared interests may incur sanctions. Submissions with undeclared conflicts that are later revealed may be rejected. Published articles may need to be re-assessed, have a corrigendum published, or in serious cases be retracted.

Financial – funding and other payments, goods and services received or expected by the authors relating to the subject of the work or from an organization with an interest in the outcome of the work
Affiliations – being employed by, on the advisory board for, or a member of an organization with an interest in the outcome of the work
Intellectual property – patents or trademarks owned by someone or their organization
Personal – friends, family, relationships, and other close personal connections
Ideology – beliefs or activism, e.g. political or religious, relevant to the work
Academic – competitors or someone whose work is critiqued.

Authors must declare all potential interests in a ‘Conflicts of interest’ section, which should explain why the interest may be a conflict. If there are none, the authors should state “The author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest regarding the publication of this paper.” Submitting authors are responsible for co-authors declaring their interests.
Authors must declare current or recent funding (including for article processing charges) and other payments, goods or services that might influence the work. All funding, whether a conflict or not, must be declared in the ‘Acknowledgments’.
The involvement of anyone other than the authors who 1) has an interest in the outcome of the work; 2) is affiliated to an organization with such an interest; or 3) was employed or paid by a funder, in the commissioning, conception, planning, design, conduct, or analysis of the work, the preparation or editing of the manuscript, or the decision to publish must be declared.
Declared conflicts of interest will be considered by the editor and reviewers and included in the published article.

Editors and reviewers should decline to be involved with a submission when they:

  • Have a recent publication or current submission with any author
  • Share or recently shared an affiliation with any author
  • Collaborate or recently collaborated with any author
  • Have a close personal connection to any author
  • Have a financial interest in the subject of the work
  • Feel unable to be objective

Reviewers must declare any remaining interests in the ‘Confidential’ section of the review form, which will be considered by the editor.
Editors and reviewers must declare if they have previously discussed the manuscript with the authors.

In the event that there are documented violations of any of the above mentioned policies in any journal, regardless of whether or not the violations occurred in a journal published by SSRG, the following sanctions will be applied:

  • Immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript
  • Immediate rejection of every other manuscript submitted to any journal published by SSRG by any of the authors of the infringing manuscript
  • Prohibition against all of the authors for any new submissions to any journal published by SSRG, either individually or in combination with other authors of the infringing manuscript, as well as in combination with any other authors. This prohibition will be imposed for a minimum of 36 months
  • Prohibition against all of the authors from serving on the Editorial Board of any journal published by SSRG

In cases where the violations of the above policies are found to be particularly egregious, the publisher reserves the right to impose additional sanctions beyond those described above.

It is important that the authors record the results of their research in a form that its analysis and review could be done before the publication and by other researchers for a reasonable period after publication. Fabrication, like reporting results that were never conducted or deceive or intent to mislead, is a form of scientific misconduct and regarded as highly unethical and in some jurisdictions may be illegal.

The authors should submit their research papers in the journal's precise format for each publication. The information provided by the authors should be concise, authentic and give details of the research experiments performed. Authors should include recent research articles and bring in comparative analysis to support their research. However, in doing so authors should rewrite the information in their own words and represent it in a form that supports their original work of research. This information, used from the work of competitors, other researchers and partners, should be citied as references in the research papers. They should also cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authorship credit should be based on substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and final approval of the version to be published. A citied author should meet all of these criteria. Individuals that made other contributions to the research like obtaining funds for the research, collecting important data and materials, or co-ordinating with the publication, are significant but do not qualify for authorship. These individuals can be acknowledged in the research papers.

The source of funding for the research project or the publication of the document should be stated. The author should clearly declare that the submitted work and its essential substance have not previously been published and are not being considered for publication elsewhere. If a primary research report has been published, the author should clearly state it and also mention the advancement and new analyses or syntheses of data in the secondary research report. An overlap of about 10 per cent is considered acceptable between such journals.

Plagiarism is an unethical practice in the field of research and is completely unacceptable. Authors are required to state they are the copyright owners or they have taken the copyright owners' permission before submitting the research report. Any breach of copyright is not acceptable. Besides journals, SSRG also publishes Conference Proceedings for a no fee. These are intended to serve the community as a means of sharing the most recent work-in-progress in respective areas of research. Conference organizers have to declare that the proceedings will not be shared with or published in any other journal.

The editor of a journal has a complete authority and responsibility to accept or reject a submitted paper and is not influenced by the management or owners in any form. The editor may confer with associate editor, co-editors and peer-reviewers while making a decision. The editors should judge all submissions on their scientific merit and minimize the influence of other factors. The decision should be timely and fair irrespective of caste, culture, origin, gender or citizenship of the author. Editors, authors, and peer reviewers have a responsibility to disclose interests that might appear to affect their ability to present or review data objectively. These include relevant financial, personal, political, intellectual, or religious interests. Editors and board members should, whenever these are relevant to the content being considered or published, declare their interests and affiliations. The editorial team should not disclose any information about a submitted paper under consideration other than to reviewers. Situations that may lead to conflicts of interest should be avoided.

Abstract

A novel approach was undertaken to assess the growth performance and survival of in vitro raised Santalum album plantlets under nursery conditions in response to various biofertilizer applications. Due to parasitic nature, S. album finds it difficult to absorb a sufficient amount of moisture and essential nutrients directly from the soil on its own. Furthermore, plantlets raised through in vitro conditions often face a hard time to survive in the initial stages of hardening in the nursery. To overcome this problem, experiments were conducted to stimulate the uptake of water and nutrients by adding biofertilizers directly into the media (sand: soil: compost at 3:3:1 ratio) during secondary hardening. In the present study it was observed that among all treatments, a combination of Azotobacter and Pseudomonas (T7) reflected maximum height, collar diameter and the number of leaves per plant with a maximum percentage of survival. Therefore, the application of biofertilizers revealed a positive effect on the growth and survival of the overall plantlets of S. album.

Abstract

Medicinal plants are of great interest today because of their vast source of phytochemicals having potent health promoting activities. In the present study we investigated the phytochemical screening, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of root extract of Clitoriaternatea (butter fly pea). The results suggest that the root extract possess potent antioxidant activities such as reducing power assay, metal chelating assay, total antioxidant activity andantibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria such asP.aerogenosa and B.subtilis. It is also showed that both aqueous and ethanol extracts possess flavonoid and phenolics. These results conclude that the root extract may be used as a potential antioxidant source.

Abstract

Five species of wild mushrooms namely Termitomycesrobustus, Agaricusbisporus, Amanita phalaoides, Amanita verosa and Pleutotus tuberregiumwere studied. They were collected from eleven places in four local government areas of Anambra State, South-Eastern, Nigeria. Standard analytical methods were employed in this research to obtain the proximate compositions, vitamin C content, mineral composition and anti-nutritional factors (phytic acid, hydrocyanide, and tannins). The moisture content (MC) ranged from 81.23 % to 97.10 %. MC value was highest in the Amanita phalaoides (97.10 %) and lowest in the Agaricusbisporus (81.23 %). Average crude protein (CP) ranged from 8.50 % to 24.18 % while crude fibre (CF) contents ranged from 2.20 % to 11.43 %. Carbohydrate content ranged from 21-69 % while fat content ranged from 1-6 %. Mineral composition indicated appreciable amounts of Fe ranged from154-684 mg/kg, Mg 476-191 mg/kg, Ca 83-545 mg/kg,K 167-934 mg/kg,Na152-777 mg/kg, Cu 0-1.0 mg/kg, Co 0-1.52 mg/kg, Pb 3-5 mg/kg, Zn 25-61 mg/kg, Cd3-6 mg/kg, Ni 1-16 mg/kg and Mn 8- 24 mg/kg. Vitamin C content was very low (0- 0.15 mg/100g) in all the species. Phytic acid content ranged from 0.01-0.70 mg/100g, Hydrocyanic acid from 0.02– 0.21 mg/100g, and tannins ranged from 0.12 to 0.27 mg/100g, these are low to give adverse effect

Abstract

Genes contain blue print of living organism. Malfunctioning occurred in cellular life is indicated by proteins which are responsible for behavior of genes. Fixed set of genes decides behavior and functioning of cells. They guide the cells what to do and when to do. To analyze the insight of biological activities, analysis of gene expressions is necessary. Advanced technology like microarray plays an important role in gene analysis. It captures expressions of thousands of genes under different conditions simultaneously. Out of thousands of genes, very few behave differently which are called as Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs). Identification of these most significant genes is a crucial task in molecular biology and is a major area of research for bioinformaticians because DEGs are the major source of disease prediction. They help in planning therapeutic strategies for a disease through Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) which is constructed from them. GRN is a graphical representation containing genes as nodes and regulatory interactions between them as edges. GRN helps in knowing how genes regulate each other and in sense maintain underlined state of art working of cells. Deregulation between genes is the cause of major genetic diseases. In this paper we have discussed many methods proposed by researchers for identifying differentially expressing genes based upon changes in their expressions patterns.

Abstract

The interplay between host immunity and tumor cells has opened the possibility of targeting tumor cells by modulation of the human immune system. Dendritic cells initiate and regulate T-cell immunity and are thus the key to optimization of all types of vaccines. DC biology insights offer a variety of opportunities to improve immunogenicity. Cancer immunotherapy involves the treatment of a tumor by utilizing the recombinant human immune system components to target the pro-tumor micro-environment or by revitalizing the immune system with the ability to ill tumor antigens. In this review, current immunotherapy approaches to cancer with special forms on dendritic cells based cancer vaccines and some recent development and findings for the clinical development of cancer vaccines are discussed.

Abstract

The influence of used engine oil on soil microbial community around a mechanic workshop was determined. Soil samples were collected from 5 different workshops, while the sample obtained from a nearby uncontaminated soil served as control. The Total Heterotrophic bacterial (THB) and fungal (TF) counts degreased throughout the study period, ranging from 3.4x105CFU/g to 5.22x104CFU/g and 8.7x104CFU/g to 4.20x103CFU/g respectfully. The characterization and identification of isolates revealed the presence of the following bacteria;Bacillus spp, Pseudomonas spp, Staphylococcus spp, Enterobacteriaspp, Micrococcus spp, Staphylococcus spp, Corynebacterspp, Lactobacillus spp and fungi;Mucor, Rhizopus, Penicillium, Fusarium and Aspergillus, as among the engine oil utilizing microorganisms.Bacillus species has the highest prevalence of 36.40%, followed by Staphylococcus spp with 18.18%. The analysis for utilization of the used engine oil by these organisms on a spectrophotometer revealed that the utilization as shown by the turbidity increased throughout the study period of 0hr to 144hrs, which showed that the microorganisms are utilizing the used engine oil, which indicates that they could be applied for remediation on an engine oil polluted soil.

Abstract

Plant regeneration from leaf and root of two Populus clones, P. tremula L. and hybrid P.tremula L. x P. tremuloides "Michx”, under different salinity levels (control, 8, 12 and 14 dS/m) were investigated. The exposure of salinity stress to both leaves and roots explants during regeneration stage decreased the number of shoots/explant, the height of regenerated plantlets and explant weight. In addition, increased salinity level also decreased the mean values of thickness of midrib, mesophyll tissue, and the diameter of vascular bundle and biggest xylem vessels of both clones. Consistent with the decrease in regeneration and growth, the chlorophyll a and b, as well as leaf carotenoid content of the regenerated explants were reduced with increasing sodium ion and the ratio of Na+/K+ and Na+/Ca2+ ions.

Abstract

Amylases are amongst most widely used enzymes in industries such as food, fermentation, starch processing, textile and paper. In the present investigation, bacteria were isolated from Garden a farm site of different regions of the Idar Sabarkantha District, screened for the production of amylase and their optimum growth conditions were determined. A total 10 bacterial colonies were isolated from collecting soil samples. Ten bacterial isolates, displayed zones of clearance in the starch hydrolysis test. The isolate displaying maximum amylase activity on the constitution was selected. A characteristic feature of the strain indicates that it belongs to the genus Bacillus and streptomycin and will be later used for further characterization. Maximum yield of amylase was obtained after 48hrs of incubation. The optimum pH, carbon source, Nitrogern Source,Salt, Temperature,Shaking seed and Growth Factor for enzyme activity.

Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological conditions that have an insidious onset and chronic progression. Different models have been established to study these diseases in order to understand their underlying mechanisms and to investigate new therapeutic strategies. Although various in vivo models are currently in use, in vitro models might provide important insights about the pathogenesis of these disorders and represent an interesting approach for the screening of potential pharmacological agents. In vitro models of these pathological conditions offer advantages over in vivo models in several aspects. First, it is possible to study the role of isolated cells of one particular type in an environment that simulates the disease and to investigate mechanisms of a possible deleterious or protective role of specific molecules and compounds. Second, screening for potential actions of drugs is also facilitated. Primary midbrain dopaminergic neurons are suitable to study dopaminergic cell survival and neurite retraction as well as regeneration. Usually, embryonic midbrain neurons from embryonic day 14 to 18 (E14-18) are ideal to culture initiation. A high yield of dopaminergic neurons can be obtained, which can be exposed to various neurodegenerative stimuli. In vitro models of neurodegenerative processes can provide important clues about mechanisms of the diseases and potential pharmacological targets.

Abstract

Okra (Abelmoschus spp. L. Moench) is an important multi-purpose vegetable crop cultivated and consumed across all tropical and temperate regions of the world. In Ghana, it is popular in all ten regions and increasing quantities are exported to Europe in the fresh form. The crop has received little attention by way of breeding to produce varieties combining the most desirable qualities to boost local cultivation and export. Ten accessions of Abelmoschus spp., comprising two species, A. esculentus (T1, T2, T3, VT, ID and AG) and A. callei (KB, AM, YL and T4) collected from six geographical regions of Ghana were crossed in all possible combinations to assess inter-specific as well as intraspecific hybridization between and within species. All six accessions of Abelmoschus esculentus were able to hybridize with one another in both direct and reciprocal cross combinations with high degree of crossability index (CI) (45.71% to 90.32%). On the other hand, cross-compatibility among A. esculentus and A. callei was successful only in one direction when A. esculentus was used as females also with a CI between 34.48% and 60%. Parental lines T3 and T1 emerged as the most compatible female and male.

Abstract

Meat tenderness appears as top rated issue to be solved concerning meat sensorial quality, which requires enhanced knowledge and further work to understand the processes involved. Meat tenderness plays an important role, where entire pieces of meat are cooked, fried or barbecued. In these cases some types of meat, in particular beef, have to undergo a certain ripening or ageing period before cooking and consumption in order to achieve the necessary tenderness. In the fabrication of many processed meat products the toughness or tenderness of the meat used is of minor importance. Many meat products are composed of comminuted meat, a process where even previously tough meat is made palatable. Further processing of larger pieces of meat also results in good chewing quality as these products are cured and fermented or cured and cooked, which makes them tender. Tenderness of meat depends on various pre-and post slaughter factors. In the recent past, much of the advancements were occurred in the methods employed for tenderization of meat. These newer methods of meat tenderization resulted in better efficiency and high quality meat products. In this review, emerging trends and technologies in meat tenderization have been discussed briefly.

Abstract

Rhizobia are soil bacteria which specifically nodulate legume roots thus forming a nitrogen fixing root nodule symbiosis, which has a great importance to agriculture in nitrogen deficient environments. The study aimed at investigating the genetic diversity of fourteen different rhizobial isolates using PCR-RAPD fingerprinting and the data were analyzed using POPGEN. Total genomic DNAs from different field isolates were amplified using five different arbitrary primers (OPA02, OPA03, OPM17, OPP07 and OPP08), the amplified DNA solution was subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis. Around 600 different bands (558 polymorphic) were produced from 14 isolates showing 93% of overall polymorphism. All the five primers produced polymorphic bands with OPA03 and OPP08 registering one hundred per cent polymorphic bands. Among these two, only OPP08 produced unique bands (2.30%). The percentage of monomorphic bands produced by OPA02, OPM17 and OPP07 were 9.65, 16.66 and 17.07 respectively. Similarly the percentages of unique bands for the above primers were 2.06, 1.19 and 2.43. Resolving power (Rp) of the primers ranged from 1.84 (OPM17) through 1.86 (OPA03, OPP07, OPP08) to 1.90 (OPA02). Summary of genetic variation statistics for all loci produced by five random primers using POPGEN version 1.31software reveal that primer OPA03 is more effective in highlighting the variation between the isolates. Nei’s unbiased measures of genetic identity and genetic distance were used to construct a similarity matrix and a rectangular cladogram was constructed based on UPGMA analysis. Ewans-Watterson test for neutrality confirms the existence of genetic diversity in all the polymorphic loci indicating their neutral nature with regard to evolution of the isolates.

Abstract

Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, engineering and materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to improve or replace biological tissues. Current meat production methods have many health, environmental and other problems associated with them like high risk of infectious animal diseases, nutrition-related diseases, resource use and environmental pollution through green house gas emissions, decrease in the fresh water supply, erosion and subsequent habitat and biodiversity loss besides the use of farm animals and non-sustainable meat supply. A new approach to produce meat and thereby reducing these risks is probably feasible with existing tissue engineering techniques and has been proposed as a humane, safe and environmentally beneficial alternative to slaughtered animal flesh. The growing demand for meat and the shrinking resources available to produce it by current methods also demand a new sustainable production system. In vitro meat production system ensures sustainable production of a new chemically safe and disease free meat besides reducing the animal suffering significantly. This review discusses the discuss about in-vitro meat production systems by involving various techniques. It is a concept in which edible animal tissues can be produced by the culturing through tissue engineering techniques like Scaffold-based techniques and self-organizing techniques.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze physicochemical, nutritional and rheological properties of the witness (100% wheat), soy, millet and maize flours and evaluate the impact of composite flours through the formulation of baking dough at different rates on the evolution of baker`s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) activity during fermentation. Composite flours were prepared by blending wheat flour (the witness: 100% wheat) with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of each flour. The results generally show that soy, millet and maize flours are a good source of protein and total carbohydrate. Compared to the control, soy, millet and maize flours have a good Water Absorption capacity (WAC) and Oil Absorption capacity (OAC) than the control. Dough incorporated up to 15% millet flour results in dough definitely raising higher than that of 100% wheat flour. Dough incorporated up to 10% of maize flour and 20% soy flour raise well during fermentation. The results obtained in this study show that these flours can be used in bread making.

Abstract

An experiment was conducted in the laboratories of Plant Physiology, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya of West Bengal, to study the contrasting physiological and biochemical response of root and leaf of mungbean under drought and salinity stress at early seedling growth stage. The drought and salinity stress was imposed using a solutions of 12% polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) and 100 mM of NaCl, respectively. It was found that the seedling growth was not up to the mark and had more detrimental effect under salinity stress condition as compared to drought stress condition. The leaf showed much higher (368.892 µ mol g-1) accumulation of osmolytes as compared to root (124.923 µ mol g-1) under both stress treatments. However, the drought stress showed higher activities of ROS scavenging enzymes such as GPOX (118.400 ?A470 min-1 g -1) and catalase (236.876 µmol H2O2 min-1 g -1) in root than salinity, however SOD (28.970 Unit min-1 g -1) activity higher in leaf. So, the salinity stress was found to be more detrimental than drought stress in causing inhibition of growth of embryonic axis and the emerging seedling in the present experiment.

Abstract

This study aimed to characterize vitamins of Abelmonschus esculentus, Celosia argentea, Ipomea batatas, Manihot esculenta and Myrianthus arboreus, five leafy vegetables consumed in Western Ivory Coast. These leaves were HPLC analysis for vitamins A, B1, B2, B9, C and E. Vitamins content was significantly different (p ? 0.05) for these leafy vegetables. Vitamin A is present in all the leaves with ratio between 770±5.03 and 76092.50±42.15IU/100g. Only leaves of M. esculenta contain vitamin E at 101±3.01mg/100g. For these leaves, ratio of vitamin B1 varying from 1300±3.55 to 2928.70±4.33mg/100g. Vitamin B2 is between 27±0.66 and 1355.10±2.21mg/100g whereas vitamin B9 is from 5.80±0.11 to 792.40±1.14mg/100g. Vitamin C is very low in different leaves and ranges from 2.40±0.21 to 26.70±1.09mg/100g. These results show leafy vegetables consumed in Western Ivory Coast were valuable sources of nutrients and can contribute to food security.

Abstract

Biofouling monitors available presently do not detect biofilm formation directly. Some measure the reduction in heat transfer and pressure drop which can happen after considerable growth of biofilm formation typically greater than 30?m. By that time chlorine cannot penetrate these biofilms. There are some electrochemical techniques that detect corrosion initiation under the biofilms. This is a concern for the life and stability of biofilm probes. The main objective of the present study was to develop an electrochemical detector based on cyclic voltammetry on electrodes made of materials used in cooling water systems. Repetitive cyclic voltammetry is a technique that provides information on the redox reactions taking place at the metal electrolyte interface. Earlier work on biofilmed platinum electrodes has shown that area reduction on the surface due to biofilm formation suppresses the peak for oxidation of adsorbed hydrogen thereby indicating direct biofilm formation. In this study we used stainless steel electrodes with biofilms of a gram negative bacterium Pseudomonas sp. Studies with stainless steel electrodes exhibited very distinct responses between clean and biofilmed conditions providing several parameters for biofilm monitoring like lowering of peak height at the oxidation of adsorbed hydrogen peak, lower current density at the peakand lower charge density under 3h, 6h, 24h and 48h biofilms. Thus this preliminary study has confirmed the potential of cyclic voltammetry for online monitoring of early biofilm formation.

Abstract

Infection causing bacteria are developing resistance against common antibiotics. To treat these antibiotic resistant bacteria, novel effective antimicrobial compounds are synthesized or isolated from various sources. Conventionally, a lot of medicinal plants are used to treat infections caused by pathogens. Peptides isolated from medicinal peptides are gaining a lot of interest owing to their potential to serve as natural antibacterial agents. Peganum harmala is a medicinal plant which contains various natural metabolites, compounds and proteins of pharmaceutical importance. A review of antibacterial agents of P. harmala plants are discussed here.
