The effects of different levels of inorganic fertilizer (NPK 15:15:15,) on growth and yield of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum) in Mubi North was carried outto determine optimum level of inorganic fertilizer (NPK 15:15:15,) for the growth and yield of sweet pepper in Mubi North. Field experiment was conducted at the FAO /TCP farm ÁDSU Mubi in 2016which lies within Latitude 100 15N and Longitude 130 10 E and at an altitude of 696m above sea level.

The Zr(IV) and Th(IV) Schiff base complexs with di--formylmethoxybis(3-pentadecenylphenyl)methane (DFMPM) and glycine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, electronic, IR, 1HNMR spectral measurements, Powder XRD and SEM. The conductance measurements indicate that all the complexes are non electrolytes. Infrared spectra indicate the coordination of imino nitrogen and carboxylato oxygen. The electronic 1HNMR spectral results indicate that both Zr(IV) and Th(IV) ions are octacoordinated and ligand is tetradentate.

Chili peppers belong to the genus Capsicum and have been studied for their bioactivity, provided by secondary metabolites, which can be used for medicinal and agricultural purposes. Some Capsicum species have been submitted to in vitro cultivation systems of cell suspensions, which have been largely reported as safe and standardized methods of production of secondary compounds. The objective of this study was to determine a protocol for the establishment of cell suspensions from stems of the cultivar C. chinense cv. Airetama.

A Good Health is the real Wealth. Adequate nutrition in the food which you eat helps in reducing the risk of many chronic diseases and in turns helps you in keeping our body healthy. When you are in hurry and hungry too you would prefer eating fast food because of its well known characteristics like fast, tasty and above all convenient. Children love it and so do adults.

It is one of the main ailments of modern era of sedentary life style due to its crippling, lingering and relapsing nature. According to Modern system of Medicine, Amavata can be compared to Rheumatoid Arthritis (R.A.). R.A is auto immune disease Aim: To evaluate the role of Shunthi Churna in the disease Amavata. Material and Methods: Total 30 patients of age group 20-60 years were registered in Group A.

Philosophy is ‘distinctive knowledge' that tries answering the problems that can not be answered by ordinary science because these problems out the reach of ordinary science. "Philosophy of Law" is a belief or philosophical appreciation adhered by people or society or State on the nature of characteristics and the cornerstone of enactment of the law. One is the natural law school (nature), who believed that a good law is a law that can apply universal and timeless.

Degradation of air quality at the city Jabalpur has been estimated by Air Quality Index (AQI). The method used to measure quality of air with respect to national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Through the study of two years, the level of air pollutants (O3, CO, NO2, PM2.5 and PM10) was observed. As a result it was found that; O3, CO, PM2.5 and PM10 shown better AQI in 2015 than 2014 whereas, NO2 shows reverse AQI i.e. good AQI result in 2014. However, all the air pollutants didn’t cross its standard.

Pluchea lanceolata commonly known as ‘Rasna’, belonging to genus Pluchea of family Asteraceae, is an important xerophytic medicinal herb. Whole plant has been used traditionally as astringent, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, hepato-protective, diaphoretic in fevers, smooth muscle relaxant, nerve tonics, laxatives and for the treatment of dysentery, lumbago, leucorrhoea, dysuria, haemorrhoids, gangrenous ulcer and disorders causing cachexia.

The present study was to assess the status of phytoplankton diversity and biomass in order to know the productivity of Uppanar River. A total 58 species were recorded out of 34 species belonged to Bacillariophyceae (diatoms), 13 species to Dinophyceae (Dinoflagellates), 6 species to Cyanophyceae (Blue-greens), 4 species to Chlorophyceae (Green) and 1 species to Chrysophyceae (Silicoflagellates).

There are growing evidences indicating that climate change is one of the top issues facing the world today. Extreme climatic events such as typhoons, heavy storms and droughts are becoming more frequent and destructive. It is important to realize that climate change will affect the future rainfall pattern which is directly related to the water balance, hence leading to water related issues, consequently threatening local livelihoods. The historical rainfall data for Colombo City, Sri Lanka and Taipei City, Taiwan, are compared in this study.
