Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common heterogeneous endocrine disorder in females of the reproductive age with signs and symptoms, including menstrual irregularity, hirsutism, acne, weight disorders and other metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. The etiology of this disease is undetermined, even so it may include inherited and environmental aspects, including the lifestyle factors such as reduced physical activity and a high caloric diet habit.

Heliothis armigera is a cosmopolitan and major pest, which attacks a wide range of cultivated plants including wheat, pulses, oilseeds, fiber crops, vegetables and ornamental plants. This generalist can grow and survive on many different plant species, belonging to more than 37 families in India. It is a severe pest and it feeds on at least 157 plants species. At certain occasions, it has been found that more than 50% crop is damaged by this pest alone. The damage is caused in the larval stage.

A theoretical investigation of isotopic effect for Carbon doped MgB2 alloys viz. MgB2, MgB1.97C0.03, MgB1.89C0.11 and MgB1.80C0.20 have been reported for the first time using BCS theory. We have tested the applicability of isotopic effect relation Tc= (cons.) M-α where α is isotopic coefficient. Electron –phonon coupling (λ) and isotopic coefficient (α) have been calculated by using Ashcroft’s potential for the alloys under present consideration.

The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), comprises a wide spectrum of factors that contribute to the development of chronic liver disease.In this spectrum is present to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which includes significant variables in this liver disease chronicity process. So far there is no specific drug therapy for NAFLD .However nonpharmacological tools such as regular physical exercise and dietary changes emerge as the only way feasible to improve NAFLD patient.

Pesticides are now recognized for their adverse effects on human health and the environment. The maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides authorized in the food chain are increasingly low. Thus high-performance analytical techniques are imposed for their identification and quantification. The objective of this study is to develop a multi-residual analysis method for organochlorine pesticides in bivalves by gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

This manuscript presents an economic model for the adoption of resource conserving technologies by farmers. It discusses the theoretical model development relevant for studying technology adoption decisions based on established economic theories. The economic models demonstrate that farmers will select conserving technology without policy intervention; however the social optimum level of conservation will not be achieved. Therefore, government policy in the form of incentives will achieve the social optimal level of conservation.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases which if not controlled can cause serious complications. Aim: To predict the risk factors of hypoglycemia in type II diabetic subjects. Methodology: Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglyceride (TG), serum urea, creatinine and microalbuminuria levels were evaluated.

Browse tree leaves from Acacia nilotica, Balanites aegyptiaca, Combretum adenogonium, Sclerocrya birrea and Ziziphus spina-christi were evaluated for in vitro gas production andpotential degradability. Browse species were selected from a field survey. All the parameters studied varied significantly (P < 0.05). Means for in vitro gas production incubation time intervals ranged from 30.6 to 45 ml/kg DM for 3 and 96 hrs, respectively. Balanites aegyptiaca, C. adenogonium and Z. spina-christi at 48hr had high gas production potential compared to A. nilotica and S. birrea.

This study investigated the synergy between the residential indoor spatial configuration and the perception of use of the space by the occupants. This was done with the intention of fostering a better design for satisfaction having understood human condition and specific definition with their fundamental philosophy of communication with space. The primary data was sourced through the use of a questionnaire administered to the residents in the study area and further study utilised relevant text and publications on the subject matter.
