Soil salinity is a major limitation to plant in many areas of the world. Present study has explored the effect of salinity on Proline content, mineral composition and antioxidant enzyme of tomato. Tomato plants were exposed to 0, 60, 90,120,150 mM NaCl.The Proline accumulation was studied by reading the absorption of chromophore at 520nm using spectrophotometer. The content of proline increase in tomato as the level of NaCl increase. Using atomic absorption spectrophotometer ion uptake for Na+, K+, Ca+ and Mg2+ were determined.

Soil contains a number of microorganisms with nutritional diversity. These bacteria produce many extra cellular and intracellular enzymes which are used for various purposes. Some of these extracellular enzymes are important for agro based industries that in turn opens scope for searching cost effective and easy to operate screening of such important extracellular enzymes. Present paper describes a review on screening methods for extracellular enzymes. It includes screening for extracellular amylase, lipase and proteases.

Solid waste is a visible concern in any environment especially for a tourist destination like Zanzibar. Zanzibar as the most rapidly growing tourist destination cannot afford to allow unsightly piles of solid waste and wind-blown litter on its streets. This will endanger its natural beauty, environmental and aesthetic value. This study examines the attitude of households towards solid waste management services and practices that can serve as an index for solid waste control.

The constant transformation of space comes as a result of established socio-environmental, economic and cultural relations. In order to understand the relationships between the patterns and processes in the landscape, considering or not the hierarchical organization, the development of methods for the quantification of their structure has been used. This study focuses on analyzing temporal dynamics of landscape and land cover in Americana (SP Brazil in 1994, 2008 and 2016) aiming to diagnose the landscape urbanity through the application of The Urbanity Index (UI).

Metribuzin considered as pre and post emergent herbicide used to remove a wide range of grass weeds. We investigate the sub-chronic cytotoxic effect of metribuzin in male albino rats that intubated orally with 0,110,220, and 440 mg/kg for three months twice per week. We founded that metribuzin containing herbicide Sencor 70% caused decrease in weight gain ratio of albino rats that was proportional with increase in dose level.

The blossoming of adolescence in each generation is as fascinating a sight as the unfolding of spring each year predict able and repetitive. objective to assess the knowledge And Attitude of adolescent girls about menstrual hygiene. To assess relationship between knowledge and attitude. Descriptive survey design used. The study was conducted in government girls higher secondary school.Dharmapuri.100 adolescent girls between the age group 15-20years selected by convenient sampling technique. The data was collected through structured interview schedule.

Researcher has tried to explore that contemporary issues in Indian education why teach to teacher trainees in educational institution. Today is need to all teachers ( inservice/ preservice) have proper knowledge about Indian concerns of education and how many attempts has done for educational improvement of children. Keeping all critic of education Justice verma committee have thinked with pain that our teacher education institutes not prepare the teacher for Indian society by they produce salesman only.

Spectrophotometric method using Griess – Ilosvay reagent was established for determination of nitrite in water samples. The standard equation was determined. It is A = (0,71 ± 0,03).CN + (0,02 ± 0,01) with R2 = 0.99842. By this equation the values of LOD, LOQ of this method were calculated, where: LOD = 0.018 mg/L; LOQ = 0.062 mg/L. This method was used to determining nitrite concentration in Mekong river at Vientiane, Laos.

An experiment was conducted on reproductive traits of silkworm as influenced by mulberry leaf through application of different sources of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers.

Acrolein is a toxic substance resulting from cigarette smoke and partial combustion of animal fats and vegetable oils, and mainly used in industry for the production of acrylic acid and plastics. The main forms of human exposure to this substance is through cigarette smoke and car exhaust. Its high toxicity is responsible for many adverse health effects, especially changes in the respiratory system. This study aimed to analyze the changes in lung function and hyperresponsiveness of the smooth muscle of the airways of rats, resulting from acute exposure to acrolein.
