Purpose – Though the incidence and mortality numbers are comparatively less than other types of cancer, such as lung and breast cancer, overall survival in advanced gastric cancer cases is still very bleak, thus patients only receive palliative treatment. We sought to improve overall survival in gastric cancer patients by reviewing the various treatment protocols associated with advanced gastric carcinoma.

A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of different growth regulating compounds on chlorophyll, photosynthetic rate and yield in greengram during rabi 2009-10. Among the growth regulators growth promoting substance NAA (20 ppm) recorded significantly higher values for photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content (SCMR) values were highest in chlormequat chloride 50% SL 375.0 g a.i ha-1, mepiquat chloride 5% AS (5%) and NAA (20ppm) during reproductive stage.
Bungoh catchment which is a segment of Sarawak Kiri River catchment areas is located in latitude between 1.184° to 1.296° N and in longitude between 110.106° to 110.242° E and 60 km from Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, Malaysia. The catchment covers an area of approximately 127 square kilometres. The altitude ranges from 20m to 1300 m a.s.l. The construction of dams at the catchment area leads to the ecosystem loss and ecosystem fragmentation.
This study was aimed to identify and review evidence in respect of the process of development for children from birth up to the age of five. There is abundant research that highlights the significance of children’s play in natural space. Natural environment provide rich settings to support children’s play drives, affording a diversity of possibilities for play behaviours. Such play experiences fulfill their biological potential for connection and affiliation with the natural world.
Randomly selected 70 rural women engaged in backyard poultry farming from randomly selected one block of one purposively selected district of West Bengal were interviewed with the help o0f pre tested structured interview schedule during Jan-March,2011. The collected data were analysed statistically after proper compilation. The study revealed that most of rural women engaged in backyard poultry farming were middle aged, landless, middle class educated, married and were from nuclear family. They had no improved poultry birds.
Fifty four genotypes were characterized based on their morphological characters as per DUS guidelines of castor viz., stem colour, types of inter nodes on stem, plant branching pattern, petiole colour, lamina leaf colour, bloom, type of inflorescence, colour of stigma, capsule type, spike shape, spike compactness, seed colour. The germplasm has shown great extent of morphological variability for all the traits observed.
The Movement poetry aims at downright realism. The wide-ranging attitudes of the people and the writers during the time were anti-romantic and anti-imperialistic. The sudden crumple of British Imperialism to a third rate power, disillusioned and disenchanted the entire population of England.

A pigeonpea fallow-maize crop rotation trial was carried out over a period of 4 seasons in western Kenya. The trial compared six high altitude long duration pigeonpea varieties i.e. ICEAP 00020, ICEAP 00040, ICEAP 00048, ICEAP 00053, ICP 9145 and ICP 13076 and a medium duration variety i.e. ICP 13211 for productivity, post fallow maize crop yield and financial returns indicators. Long duration pigeonpea varieties take 140-180 days to mature while medium duration varieties take >200 days to mature.
