Soft landscape elements: Importance and implications on thermal control in tropical buildings

Thermal control in buildings is highly essential in the tropics where high solar radiation is received throughout the year. Its importance cannot be overemphasized in the face of climate change which is rapidly changing our world and exposing it to higher risk of environmental disasters. Climate change has been attributed to increased energy use from various human activities which cause a release of carbon dioxide and other green house gases into the atmosphere.

Effects of packaging materials and methods on physical properties and food safety of duck sausage

Utilization of spent duck through sausage preparation and estimating the optimum storage condition throughout the retail chain was the objective of the present study. PET/Poly and laminate of metalized PET/Poly with polyethylene pouches under aerobic and vacuum packaging stored in refrigerator (4±1° C) and freezer (-18±1° C) condition were considered in the experiment. TBA value, pH, Tyrosine value, TPC, TPSC and YMC of the samples increased with the storage period whereas a decreasing trend in case of moisture and all the sensory parameters throughout the storage period was observed.

Effect of varying level sofnitrogen on growth and yield of okra grown in coal ash amended soil

A  pot experiment was conducted during  rabi season in the net house of the experimental farm of  Department  of  Botany, Aligarh  Muslim  University, Aligarh to study the comparative effect of two doses of basal nitrogen (50 and 100 kg N ha-1) on the performance of Abelmoschus esculentus L. grown in two levels of coal ash (F20 and F40) amended soil. So, low doses of these two waste products are beneficial for growth and yield.

Effects of stress induced chronic depression and antidepressant drugs on dentate gyrus of hippocampus in adult albino rats

The pilot study is conducted using 30 adult albino rats (150-200 gm). They were divided into one control and two experimental groups of equal numbers. Group 1 is Control (Ctrl), Group 2 is Chronic Depression (Ch.Dp) and Group 3 is Treatment Group (Ch.Tt) following Chronic Depression. Ctrl Group received food and water ad-libitum, Ch.Dp Group received Chronic Depression by immobilization method in a Rat Immobilizer for 7 weeks, whereas Ch.Tt Group received anti-depressant drug (Flouxetine 1mg/kg body weight orally) for 4 weeks following depression.
