Isolation and characterization of fatty acid from peel of the pear fruit (pyrus pyrifolia) and evaluate its antioxidant activity

A fatty acid was isolated and purified from pear fruit (Pyrus pyrifolia) peel extract by using column chromatography technique and evaluated its antioxidant activity by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay and reducing power assay. The isolated compound was identified as Gadoleic acid on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and it showed the high percentage of antioxidant activity but less than the ascorbic acid. As the concentration of the compound increased the percentage of activity also increased in both the DPPH assay and reducing power assay.

Vacuum extraction in cesarean delivery: An analysis of maternal and neonatal outcomes

Introduction: Vacuum extraction during particularly difficult cesarean delivery use by some surgen. This procedure may decrease the length of incision and extension of uterine incision and complications of C/S such as post operation bleeding and neuropathic pain. However, some cases reported that the routine use of vacuum in cesarean delivery may cause the neonatal subgaleal hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage to increase. 

MFI and rural indebtedness: A case study of Bihar and Jharkhand

The objective of the paper is  to analyse the indebtedness through microfinance institutions in Bihar and Jharkhand. The data were collected from microfinance institutions operating in Bihar and Jharkhand.  Over-indebtedness had become a problem in India because of the increased number of microcredit institutions, a lack of regulation and the absence of a strong credit bureau that would make it easier to identify clients who have multiple loans. Average loan amount from microfinance institutions was lower in Bihar as compared Jharkhand.

Strategies adopted by 5 star hotels in Pune city to increase the room revenue

Today, it is see that the hospitality industry has flourished and become a major source of revenue generation all over the world. The growth of hospitality industry led to emergence of many hotel chains in India. The Pune city has also shown a drastic change in number of hotels in the last 15 years. In 1999 there were only 4 nos. of 5 star hotels in Pune while by end of 2014 there are 18nos. of 5 star hotels in Pune district. The study is thus directed towards strategies adopted at 5 star hotels in Pune to increase the room revenue of the particular hotel.

Literacy for healthy living

This thesis hinges on the premise that the significant survival of any person or any nation depends on the health of the people. This means that one needs to maintain an equilibrium that is not threatened at any moment by forces and caprices beyond his or her foresight and control to be able to live a healthy life. The health of every individual depends to a greater extent on the literacy level of either the individual or the nation.

Sustainable development goals and Bangladesh: The role of parliament

Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies among the countries with similar nature. The country has made a notable progress during the MDG era despite several political and environmental challenges. At the end of MDG a new era has just begun with much more diversified targets called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG is a transformative, universal agenda with an overarching imperative of ‘leaving no one behind’ and requires each country to commit to her own agenda and priorities with a monitoring and reporting mechanism.

The buffering capacity of erythrocyte membrane surroundings in relation to free protons, formed in the full cycle of proton and electron conductance inside the human body

By our suggestion, the buffering capacity of erythrocyte membrane surroundings in relation to free protons, formed in the proton and electron conductance is the process implemented within the full 9 stepped cycle of proton conductance inside the Human Body proposed by Ambaga and Tumen-Ulzii (2015, 2016) leading to reutilization of diffused protons from mitochondrial matrix of all cells to  plasma membrane of red blood cells with generation of HbH which promotes the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, oxygen diffusion to all cells conditioning the release of proton, electron from food substra

Attitude regarding gender biasness among primigravida women attending antenatal opd’s

The study was carried out to assess the attitude regarding “gender biasness among primigravida women” attending antenatal OPD‟s at selected hospitals”. Despite of gender equality all over the world, still there is positive attitude towards gender biasness among primigravida women. In India, thousands of studies have been done on son preference and female foeticide but findings regarding gender biasness are very scarce.

Performance analysis of high bypass ratio turbofan aeroengine

The turbofan engine had many developments in the past 60 years and becomes the common power plant employed in both civil airliners and military aircrafts. It combines the advantages of both of turboprop engines (high propulsive efficiency and thrust) and turbojet engines (high flight speed and altitude). To cope with the needs of high thrust forces that propel wide body airliner and increase of their payload and range as well as enlarging mauver capabilities of military aircrafts, successive developments of turbofan engines are needed.
