Medicinal plants have been considered as a host of fungal endophytes with novel metabolites of pharmaceutical importance. Most endophytic fungi that live in higher plants are capable of producing secondary metabolites which are medicinally significant components whose activity against pathogens have been studied previously. Hence an effort was taken to isolate endophytic fungi from leaves of Barringtonia acutangula commonly called the Indian oak or Samudraphal, an evergreen tree with medicinal properties.

Background: To evaluate the state of some biochemical markers and lipid profilein sera of plaque psoriatic patients.
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of inflammatory markers and lipid profile in plaque psoriatic and control groups, and their relationship with the plaque psoriasis.

Poverty reduction has been a major concern of Governments and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Ghana. As a result of the implementation of some policies, programmes and projects, poverty levels in Ghana have generally fallen from approximately 51.7 percent in 1991/92 to 28.5 percent in 2005/2006.However, whilst it fell in all regions of the country, the pace of poverty reduction has been weakened in Northern Ghana.

Qualitative In this paper the terms d-system, m-system, n-system, U-ternary semigroup are introduced.  It is proved that an ideal A of a ternary semigroup T is a prime ideal of T if and only if T\A is an m-system of T or empty.  It is proved that an ideal A of a ternary semigroup T is completely semiprime if and only if T\A is a d-system of T or empty.  It is proved that every m-system in a ternary semigroup T is an n-system.  Further it is proved that an ideal Q of a ternary semigroup T is a semiprime ideal if and only if T\Q is an n-system of T (or) empty.  It is proved that if N is an n-

We have developed a special computing code for calculation of nuclear shape changes and quadruple moments (Q) of Lanthanum Isotopes. It has been shown from these calculations that by increasing neutron number, deformation parameter also increase for heavier isotopes which means more deformation from spherical shape. By comparison with Nilsson level diagrams we can infer quadruple deformation parameter (β2) and calculate quadruple moments of these isotopes.

The Genetic studies relating to blood group on populations in north-east India particularly in Manipur have been performed less frequently than in the other parts of India, though there are diverse communities residing the region. The people of Mao Naga tribe of Mao think themselves to have been migrated from China and first settled in Makhel of Mao (latitude 23.830 N to 25.680N and longitude 93.030E and 94.780E) and many of the Naga tribes trace their place of origin from there.

This review highlights the urgent need of natural medicine to counter the side effects and to reduce the death rates of cancer. The modern drugs fail to meet the expectations of the novel drug due the properties of the cancer cells. Moreover the present day treatments are patient specific rather than type of tumor stage specific, hence new diagnostic tools are needed towards the cancer diagnosis. Nowadays marine source are gaining more and more importance because of its potentiality. So search of marine drugs for new therapeutic uses is an efficient approach to drug discovery.   

The micro enterprise and small business has always played a significant role in the economic development of a Country. Its role might not have been as spectacular as that of the large corporation involving the deployment of enormous physical, financial and human resources. However, the collective impact of the multitude of micro enterprises has been tremendous, particularly in the area of job creation. The focus on the contribution of women in direct productive work was first brought out in 1970 by Ester Boserup in his book Women’s Role in Economic Development.

Financial inclusion gained prime importance since 2005 when Rangarajan Committee was set up to review the banking practices hindering inclusive growth. India recognized the need for inclusive growth at the onset of independence. Unfortunately, in spite of having a far-fetched vision and well intended policies, she is still struggling to achieve its goal of financial inclusion.

In India, cricket is seen different from other games. Many people play it in open space, and some choose it as their career but only a few perform well and reach its highest position. There are many reasons for ill-performance, among them one of the main reasons is competitive anxiety. Many good players are affected by anxiety at some point of time in their career. Therefore, identifying the competitive anxiety level in sports persons becomes a more important topic for researchers and trainers.
