Photo degradation rate of ciprofloxacin in solid and liquid forms and with some pharmaceutical excipients systems

Objectives: this study was aimed to assessment the reaction kinetics of the photo-degradation of ciprofloxacin on experimentally under the effect of sun-light for solid, liquid forms and induced some pharmaceutical excipients in ciprofloxacin. Methods: Ciprofloxacin in solid and liquid forms will be expose directly to sun-light, and add some pharmaceutical excipient to determine the photo-degradation rate of ciprofloxacin by means of HPLC. Results: Photolysis of ciprofloxacin in aqueous state and solid form under the effect of sunlight following first order interactions kinetics.

Effect of tannery effluent on seed germination and seedling growth in crotalaria juncea linn

Tannery effluents are one of the major causes of land and water pollution. In the recent times efforts have been taken to reduce the release of these effluents or to adopt eco-friendly tanning methods. However, the damage already caused to soils of Tamilnadu in regions having tanning industry has to be reversed and there have been several attempts to achieve this end. In the present investigation, the effect of tannery effluents on the seed germination and seedling growth of Crotalaria juncea has been studied.

Impact of mid day meal on nutritional status of 7-9 year old children in hyderabad

Mid day meal programme provides food free of cost to over 12 crore children of on all working days. It is a fact that mid day meal had a positive influence on the various objectives of the scheme such as enrolment, attendance , social equity but the contribution of mid day meals to the nutritional status is still not clear. This paper attempts to study the nutrients supplied through mid day meal and its impact on nutritional status of primary school children. School children of age 7-9 years were selected randomly from schools of Hyderabad.

Oxidative stress measurements can indicate the best dose and period of nitrogen fertilizer in white oat crop

The white oat crop is highlightedas an important winter alternative for agriculture in the South of Brazil. Oxidative stress (OS) generated by increased reactive oxygen species under stress conditions may promote unavoidable outcomes for production. Thus, we aim to standardize a simple quantitative spectrophotometric protocol to verify OSparameters in white oat growing under different nitrogen fertilization conditions. We also intend to be able to predict the best time, amount and conditions for nitrogen fertilization, based on OS parameters.

Study of distribution and abundance of tsetse fly (glossina sp.) in gashaka-gumti national park, Nigeria

A study on the distribution and abundance of tsetse flies was conducted between November, 2016 and January, 2017 at Gashaka-Gumti National Park (GGNP), Nigeria. The aim of the study was to determine the distribution and abundance of the fly (Glossina sp.) in the Park. Thirty (30) Biconical traps (Charlier and Laviessiere, 1973) were used to trap the tsetse flie in three locations (Kwano, Gashaka and Mayo-kam). A total of six hundredand ninety eight (698) flies were caught during the study period. Kwano, Gashaka and Mayo-kam had 372 (53.3%), 168 (24.1%) and 158 (22.6%) respectively.

Child labour in India: a historical perspective

Background: Child labour is not a new phenomenon to our age, it has existed in one form or another in all historical times" children in India have been associated with work from time immemorial.

The objective of the present paper are: (1) To describe the historical aspect of child labour in different era in India.

Long term effect of radial nerve mobilization on range of motion and function in computer users with lateral elbow pain

Background: Lateral elbow pain is a frequently reported condition in computer professionals. There is little known about the effect of radial nerve mobilization which is used to treat lateral elbow pain and its effect on the functional activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the long term effect of radial nerve mobilization on functional activities and ROM in computer users with lateral elbow pain. Objective: To determine the long term effect of radial nerve mobilization on range of motion and functions in computer professionals with lateral elbow pain.

Correlation of spasticity with functionality of spastic individuals after physiotherapy treatment associated with herbal medicine derived from alpinia zerumbet

Spasticity interferes with the individual functionality that sometimes needs to be medicated and perform physiotherapy. Study aimed to correlate functionality with spasticity in spastic subjects after treatment of physiotherapy, associated with herbal medicine derived from Alpinia zerumbet. In clinical monocentric and prospective were analyzed 20 subjects after one month of treatment with physiotherapy associated with herbal medicine.

Effect of some isolated bacterial species on the physicochemical aspects and main components of gum arabic (acacia senegal var. senegal)

Physicochemical properties of gum Arabic are greatly affected by bacteria invasion before industrial processing. In this study, laboratory procedures as well as biochemical tests were used to assess the effect of some isolated bacterial species on the physicochemical aspects and main components of Acacia senegal var. Senegal gum Arabic. Degradation effects on the molecular weight of gum Arabic main components were remarkably affected in comparison to control.
