Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a form of peripheral neuropathy, often difficult to diagnose. It’s an auto immune disorder, due to subtle occurrence, this disease is not much studied and mostly people are unaware of symptoms and cause. In this paper protein interaction map has been constructed that shows the relationship of CIDP disease with other neurological diseases and also nature of protein interaction. The proteins responsible for the disease (CIDP) were identified using extensive literature survey, Uni Prot and KEGG databases.

In order to determine the effect of eleven levels of 60Co gamma radiation on some agronomic attributes of Jamaica, seeds were irradiated in Transelektro LGI-01 model at the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares. The plants were planted in black polyethylene bags of 5 kg capacity, using as substrate tezontle red and using the Steiner nutrient solution.

Relationships among genes, not individual alleles, are basic units of developmental information, targets of inheritance and selection. The smallest functional combination of an allele is the ratio with other alleles in a polygenic system, and amount of homo- and heterozygous relationships could determine especially the development of quantitative characters, as well as their adaptive response to natural selection, without changing the basic structure of a population. 

This study aimed to explore the allelopathic potential of Eucalyptus maidenii on seed germination, root and shoot length, membrane integrity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline content of Triticum durum, Vicia faba, Phaseolus vulgaris, Sinapis arvensis, Erica vesicaria and Scorpiurus muricatus and its application as naturally occurring herbicide in the field. Allelopathic compounds were identified using chromatography mass analysis. Dose-response studies were carried under laboratory and greenhouse conditions.

Ghana’s electricity producing trio; VRA, GRIDCO and ECG, in recent times have been plagued by certain operational, financial and logistical difficulties leading to a significant reduction its electricity generation capacity and hence, has had to endure irregular power supply for some time now.

This study was conducted to assess factors affecting fertilizers adoption in Khartoum State of Sudan. A random sampling procedure was used to select 60 respondents. Data were collected through structured interview schedule. Descriptive analysis, Inter-correlation and multiple regression analysis techniques were adopted. The results emphasized that the adoption of fertilizers depends on availability of information about fertilizers, capital, social participation and farm size.

To increase the livelihood security of the poor tribal farmer of Jamtara and Dumka ditricts the horticulture technologies like, 1) Off season vegetable cultivation, 2) Year round vegetable production from 10 decimal area 3) One acre multi tier cropping were implemented and 4) vertical cultivation of vine vegetables (pointed gourd) successfully introduced through NAIP project launched by BAU, Ranchi and HARP, plandu as one of the consortium partner.

Water Quality Index is an important water assessment that sustain and conserve the aquatic ecosystem. In Malaysia, the current classification practice on Department of Environmental Water Quality Index (DOE WQI) shoes rigid value in term of assessing the input of parameters that close to a class boundary. Hence, this study proposed a technique to assess the parameters in a holistic manner by using the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS).

Present study deals with the bioconversion of vermicomposted weed plants waste using Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg for promoting the growth of Brinjal (Solanum melongena) preparation of weed plants waste vermicompost and its physico chemical parameters were analyzed, enumeration of microorganisms bacteria, fungi and actinomyces from vermicompost, preparation of vermiwash and vermicompost extract and its physico chemical parameters were analyzed, growth parameters and biochemical characteristics also studied of Brinjal.

This study analyses the employment status of agricultural laborers in Bathinda district of Punjab. It presents the major activities of agricultural laborers in farm and non-farm sector. The lack of employment opportunities in agriculture during off season compelled the agricultural laborers to seek alternative employment sources like construction work, National Rural Employed Guarantee Act (NREGA) etc. In spite of it, the harsh reality is that the condition of Agriculture Labors (especially non-regular) is miserable.
