A native of Australia and the East Indies, Eucalyptus was introduced to many parts of the world and today ranks as one of the most ubiquitous trees. Eucalyptustereticornis Sm. known as Mysore gum in India is one of the most extensively cultivated Eucalypt species to meet the ever increasing demand of paper and pulp, and wood based industries. The supply to the wood based industries has always fallen short of their requirements. Due to shortage of raw materials from forests, industries have started their own plantations.

Innovative amalgamation of advances in disciplines like nanotechnology, thin film engineering and crystallography, has led to the design and fabrication of functional materials such as shape memory alloys, conducting polymers and metallic glass. These new materials exhibit better mechanical strength than the conventional materials and save the time taken in executing a task. One of these materials – the metallic glass, saves the consumption of energy and thus arrests the resultant degradation of environment. It also bears the potential to boost our longevity and health.

Children are like wet cement; whatever falls on them makes an impression. So children need to adjust with this world to do their best in the future. Children normal behaviors depend on various natural and environmental circumstances in which a child grow and observes. The study setting was selected primary schools of Jalandhar, total 60 primary school teachers were selected as a study sample Experimental Research Approach was used during the study, Pre-experimental research design was used; the study was conducted by using purposive sampling technique.

This study determines the Effect of different Phosphorus levels on growth and yield of three varieties of cowpea (VignaUnguiculata (L) Walp) in 2016 rain fed cropping season. Phosphorus is very important for cowpea production in many tropical African soils with inherent low phosphorus fertilizer. Most farmers in this locality do not have access to phosphorus fertilizer. Selection of cowpea lines that produce good yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus use efficiency can be a low input approach to solving this problem.

An outbreak of brucellosis occurred in the municipality of Victoria, in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. On 25 April 2010, in a stable with 16 riding horses, a mare presented weakness, progressive emaciation, difficult movements and suppurative fistulous withers. Serum samples of these horses and other 27 horses in close contact with animals of the affected stable were subjected to the Rose Bengal test with 8% cell concentration and Rivanol test for identifying the presence of antibodies against Brucella abortus strain 1119-3, and microbiological culture.

Background: The beneficial effect of regular exercise on physical fitness is well documented. There is also evidence that acute and chronic exercise affect platelet activation in different ways. Few studies are available on effect of exercise on platelets function. Therefore, present work has been undertaken to study the effect of exercise on platelets. Objective: Effect of exercise on peripheral platelet count. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 40 healthy female subjects in the age group of 22-29. Samples for platelet counts were obtained prior to training and after 12 wk.

The purpose of this research was to design ecological jewelry through alternative materials such as bamboo otate, to generate environmental responsibility. Nowadays, products with low environmental impact are realized, in this sense the bamboo otate was an ideal alternative, because it is the plant with greater growth in the world, being able to be used since the two years of growth for artisanal purposes, it is a renewable resource and totally sustainable, in six months reaches a height of 60 meters, it has a high durability giving it a permanent finish.

Currently there is a growing interest in researching and developing new antibacterial agents from various sources to combat bacterial resistance. Therefore, a greater attention must be paid to antibacterial activity screening and evaluating methods. Several bioassays such as disk-diffusion, well diffusion and broth or agar dilution are well known and commonly used, but other methods are not widely used because they need some special equipment.

Introduction: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most common type of bladder cancer (BC). Approximately 75% of all BCs are restricted to the mucosa. Ten to 30% of superficial tumors will progress to invasive disease with worse prognosis. The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with the acquisition of tumor invasiveness and aggressive phenotypes. E-cadherin (E-CA) and vimentin are two proteins related to the EMT phenomenon.

The proposed RP-HPLC method is developed and subsequently validated which is rapid, sensitive and reproducible for the analysis of amikacin in pharmaceutical dosage forms with short analysis time. A mobile phase is a mixture of acetonitrile, methyl alcohol, and o- phosphoric acid, OPA, (0.1%) in 50:35:15 (v/v).A flow rate of 1.0 mL/min mobile phase was found to be suitable in the studied range of 0.5—1.5 mL/min. The spectra of Amikacin showed a balanced wavelength at 272 nm.
