The escalating exploitation of medicinal plants for the extraction of imperative pharmaceuticals amalgam dictated the need of using encapsulated vegetative propagules for germplasm conservation and propagation. The present report is the first attempt in the production of synseed and subsequently affirming retrieval of healthy plantlets of Nyctanthes arbor-trisits L. In the current exploration, best encapsulated nodal segments were developed in calcium alginate gel composed of 3% (w/v) sodium alginate and 100 mM CaCl2.2H2O.

Rice is regarded as the first cultivated crop in Asia as well as important food crop of India. The cost and return structure and technical efficiency in rice production has been reported in different regions as well as in the state of Manipur to show different regions have adopted the latest technology. Primary data have been collected from the sample rice farms with the help of pre-tested scheduled through personal interview with respondent farmers. Technical efficiency of individual farms has been estimated through stochastic production function analysis.

Smut, caused by Sporisorium scitaminea Sydow, is one of the main destructive diseases in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). To assess the resistance of sugarcane to smut, two different isolates of S. scitaminea were inoculated to sugarcane plants by means of pin-prick dipping in nodal buds. Data on the disease latent period and disease incidents per population were recorded and analyzed. Results showed the inoculum used in the present study was the S. scitaminea race 2 according to the resistance levels of standard control varieties F134 and NCo310.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of rested and physical exhaustion conditions on accuracy and speed of tennis serve performance among college-level players.
Design: A repeated measures design with control and experimental groups was used to determine the effects of physical exhaustion on tennis serve performance.

Labour productivity output in civil engineering construction projects is an important aspect of civil engineering profession world-wide over many centuries. The use of civil engineering construction materials plays 60% role, while labour productivity output take 40% of the construction projects execution in construction industry. This account for the reason why multi-national companies spend huge sum of money every year to train and retain labour work force that is being employed for daily execution of activities that are carryout within the organization.

Interaction of H2O molecule and BN fullerene like structures was studied based on the density functional theory. The H2O molecule is adsorbed on the surface of BN fullerene like structures. All calculations were performed using DFT within M062X method and has been widely used in the nanostructure studies. 6-311G** all electron basis sets were used for the optimization, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analyses, and energy calculations.

Now a day’s eating habits have changed. Consumption of junk food, Ready to cook fast food, Carbonated drinks is increasing day by day which contains preservatives and colouring agents. Due to prolonged use they gets accumalated in our body and leads to imbalances in doshas which in turns affect body as well as mind. Tarunya pitika is one of the disease mentioned under kshudra rogas. As per modern science the symptoms of Tarunya pitika are resembles with Acne vulgaris. Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilo sebaceous units.

This study was conducted to investigate the determinant factors that influence probability of village poultry technology package elements adoption, and to identify major limitations and constraints influencing the technology adoption in the central Oromia Region, Ethiopia. One hundred eighty (180) village poultry technology package participants were selected using multi-stages random sampling method. Structured questionnaire were used for face to face interview data collection. Binary logistic regression model using univariate and multivariate regression analysis procedures were employed.

We report a case of Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis on the knee that had been present for more than 3 years in a 22year old man. He had a strongly positive mantoux test and a normal chest radiograph. TBVC is a paucibaciallary form of cutaneous Tuberculosis caused by exogenous reinfection in previously sensitized individuals. The diagnosis of TBVC is based on history and evolution of the disease, along with the classical clinical morphology and histopathological characteristics. He was treated with anti-tuberculous drugs and the skin lesion resolved completely.

Objectives: To describe the epidemiological risk factors and to determine the likely underlying causes associated with developmentally disabled children with convulsion.
