Comparative in-vitro antibacterial activity of volatile oils indigeneous to chhattisgarh region

In the present pharmaceutical are the science which treat in detail medicinal, pharmacognosy and related product of drug obtained from plant, animal and mineral origins. In short, it is an study crude drugs from natural sources treated scientifically and it encompasses the knowledge of the history, distribution, cultivation, collection, processing for market and preservation, the study of sensory, physical, chemical, and structural characters and the uses of crud drugs. The aim to study of some crude drug in Chhattisgarh region like Ginger, Ajwain, and Black paper.

Diatoms as ecological indicators of water quality assessment in adihalli lake, Gandasi lake and halagenalli lakes of Arasikere Taluk, Hassan District, Karnataka, India

Ecological indicators have pervasive appeal to scientists, environmental managers and general public at large. They have long been used to detect changes in nature, but scientific maturation in indicator development has occurred mainly in the past twenty years. Currently, indicators are primarily used to assess condition of the environment, as early-warning signals of ecological problems. The present survey reveals the presence of diverse diatom communities in three lakes consisting of 9 different genera and 15 species.

Invitro anticancer activity of coconut shell oil on breast cancer cell line

The ethanolic extract of Coconut shell oil were analysed for the anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines. Coconut shells were collected and further processed for extract preparation. Breast cancer cell line was obtained from NCCS, Pune and was maintained in DMEM High Glucose media in 10% FBS, Penecillin (100 U/ml) and Streptomycin (100 µg/ml).The antiproliferative activity of Coconut shell oil were analysed by 0.5% 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.

Influence of temperature and geometry on peach drying kinetics

The peach (Prunus pérsica) much appreciated worldwide due to its organoleptic characteristics, being a highly perishable fruit must be processed quickly after harvest. An alternative well-known for preserving food and little explored in peach fruit is dehydration. This study aimed to compare the peach dehydration kinetics using two variables: temperature and geometry of the fruit.

Results of using green fallow on irrigated soil to enhance the fertility of soil

In our country average precipitation is annually 250-300 mm, and when we assuming that we need 22, 0-30,2 mm precipitation for getting 1 centner of wheat and thus means it is sufficient for 7-10 centner yield. For more yield use irrigation systems to provide the fields with enough water and humidity is important issue. Cultivation using rotation is not only for producing high yields but also it is important for stabilizing and improving the soil fertility like the first condition of the soil.

Extending the storage-life of gerbera flowers cv. ‘lexington’ using cold storage

The experiment was conducted at Ecofrost Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Pune, Maharashtra, to study the effects of tap water, Sucrose, and Sucrose + Citric acid solution treatments on the post-harvest storage-life of cut flowers of Gerbera cv. ‘Lexington’ inside cold storage as well as at room conditions. Gerbera flowers treated with (2% Sucrose + Citric acid 0.2%) (T4) holding solution resulted in the longest storage-life of the cut flowers (13.3 days). Optimum weight of the cut flower (g) on the 3rd, 6th and 10th days was best maintained using treatment i.e. Sucrose 2% (T3).

Physicochemical characterization of films formulated from achatina fulica mucus fed with medicinal plants

The cutaneous mucus released by tropical mollusks of the Achatina fulica species, in front of a plasticizer, forms a network that provides stability to the mucus thus forming a biopolymer film and its derivatives have recognized fungicidal, bactericidal and healing properties.

In the present A work on selective breeding aimed at further consolidation of key qualities of the race of Zalaajinst- Edren white goats towards increased length and fineness of fibers and upgrading phenotypic characteristics (Dorjbat Yo, 2013) resulted i

The present study is focused on the identification of plant proteins, which interact with the newly isolated type A peroxiredoxin protein LeTPx1, using the two-hybrid assay. The leTPx1 cDNA was initially identified as an interacting protein to the glutathione S-transferase/peroxidase BI-GST/GPx (Kampranis, Damianova et al., 2000). The two-hybrid screen is a powerful tool for the characterization of protein-protein interaction using yeast as a model system.To this end, we generated a LexA-LeTPx1 “bait” fusion and screened a tomato library cloned into the activation domain vector pJG4-5.

Basic cashmere quality indicators of goats of zalaajinst- edren cashmere breed

In the present A work on selective breeding aimed at further consolidation of key qualities of the race of Zalaajinst- Edren white goats towards increased length and fineness of fibers and upgrading phenotypic characteristics (Dorjbat Yo, 2013) resulted in identification of major productive and phenotypic parameters. Four analogically selected age/sex groups such as: young male and females, and adult females (does) and males (bucks) out of the herd of goats of Zalaajinst-Edren cashmere breed kept under year-round pasture grazing were sampled for studies on cashmere quality and quantity.

Total particulate matter from combustion of cashew nut shell exacerbates lung injury in ova-induced asthma model

Air pollution, even at levels below that allowed by official agencies, can significantly affect the environment and health. Our hypothesis is that exposure to atmospheric pollutants, specifically total particulate matter (TPM) from the combustion of cashew nut shell (CNS), in the individuals at risk group (previous respiratory disease) may exacerbate the harmful effects to the respiratory system. Accordingly, we performed analyses of respiratory mechanics and micromechanics and histopathology and morphometry of lung parenchyma.
