The soxhletation was followed for the obtaining acetone extractive of bark of Oroxylumindicum (L). Three concentrations (5ppm; 10ppm and 20ppm) of extractive were prepared. The fifth instar larvae were utilized for the experimentation. At zero after last but the first ecdysis, the larvae fifth instar were dividedinto five groups (each with hundred individuals) (Untreated control; Acetone treated control; 5ppm extractive; 10ppm extractive and 20ppm extractive). Ten microliters of each concentration of extractives were topically applied to respective group to the individual larva at forty eight hours of age. The larvae were maintained through standard method of rearings. Ten larvae from each group were utilized for analysis of electrophoretic esterase pattern on fifth day. The silk worms were sacrificed,haemolymphand silk gland samples were isolated and analyzed by using 7.5% of native gel electrophoresis. Acetone extractives of O.indicum at 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm concentrations recorded maximum cocoon weight (1.95,1.84,1.76 gm), shell weight (0.40, 0.35, 0.33gm), pupal weight (1.55, 1.49,1.43). All concentrations of the bark extract of O.indicum recorded higher cocoon, shell, and pupal weight than the control (untreated and acetone treated). Increase in the concentration of Oroxylum extract used for topical application was found reflected into improvement in the weight of cocoon shell followed by the shell ratio and denier scale of silk filament. Efficient use of acetone herbal extractives, likeOroxylumindicum (L) may open a new avenue in the silk yield. <#LINE#> @ @ Rasadah M.A., Houghton P.J., Amala R. and Hoult J.R.S.

Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar U.S. Nagar 263 145, INDIA<#LINE#>18/6/2014<#LINE#>8/8/2014<#LINE#>In the present work an efficient regeneration protocol has been established for mustard (Brassica juncea var Pusa Jaikisan) using hypocotyls of in vitro grown seedlings for callus induction and multiple shoot induction. Different concentrations of phytohormones, auxin (NAA: Naphthalene acetic acid) and cytokinins (BAP: Benzylaminopurine) were used. For callus induction and plant regeneration, the MS medium was supplemented with 3% sucrose and BAP (6-benzylamino purine) and NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) at different concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mg/L. About 91.6-100% formation of callus from hypocotyls explants were observed in the MS media supplemented with BAP at 0.5-1.0 mg/L + NAA at 0.5-1.0 mg/L. In these conditions, the explants also produce more number of shoots ranging from 7 to 20 shootlets/explant. It was also observed that at MS medium with BPA at 2.0-2.5 mg/L + NAA at 0.5 mg/L, all the explants (100%) produced callus but shoot induction was found to be very less and about 8.3-33.3% explants showed shoot formation with as less as 1-2 shootlets/explant. This protocol can be further explored for transformation of mustard for incorporation of specific genetic traits for improvement of crops. <#LINE#> @ @ Brown D.C.W. and T.A.

For human beings to work with maximum efficiency health and hygiene are the basal things. So, effective antimicrobial finish has become essential to safeguard the human beings from harmful microorganisms to prevent from cross infection. Chemical based antimicrobial agents are mostly used for fabric finishing which have harmful and environmental issues. Therefore, finishing of fabrics using plant natural dyes and bioactive plant extract as antimicrobial agent is an emergent technology in the making of medical textiles. Based on antimicrobial activity and availability Neem (Azadirachta indica)was selected for present research work.

It is estimated that 75% of women will experience at least one episode in their lifetime. candida albicans is a dimorphic commensal organism of urogenital tract and has been identified as main pathogenic agent in VVC, accounting for approximately 85-90% of patient with positive cultures. A prospective study of female genital swabs collected from gynecological clinic and analysed for microscopy, culture, speciallized test. Most common VVC caused by candida albicans and non albican species were also detected like candida tropicalis, candida glabrata in 50 samples collected from pregnant and non pregnant women. Microscopic analysis was performed by 10% KOH wet preperation technique and gram staining. Sabouraud dextrose broth was used as primary growth medium and than candida species were identified by growth on HiCrome candida speciallized medium. further identification was done by special test- germ tube formation, chlamydospore production test, carbohydrate assimilation and fermentation test. <#LINE#> @ @ J.D.

Clostridium difficile presently has been identified as a causative agent of a spectrum of diseases referred to as Clostridium difficile Infections (CDI). CDI can establish as self-limiting antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) and antibiotic-associated colitis (AAC) to severe and life threatening forms like; pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) and toxic megacolon. Indian studies have reported Clostridium difficile-associated Diarrhoea (CDAD) prevalence rates ranging from 7.1% to 26.6% and its incidence varies considerably from place to place. The present work was conducted with the objective to study Clostridium difficile and its prevalence in the South Gujarat Region of the Gujarat state of India. Alcohol Shock treatment was given to the stool sample, followed by enrichment of spores by inoculating an RCM broth (added with 0.1% sodium taurocholate). After 48 hr., subculture was made on CCFA medium. Plates were incubated anaerobically for 48hrs. The C. difficile isolates were identified by colonial characteristic, fluorescence under UV light and positive Latex Agglutination test. The isolates were further characterized by gram reaction for cellular morphology, spore staining and various biochemical tests as described in Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Among 271 clinical stool investigated, 176 were of male and 95 were of female patients. In total 16 isolates have been obtained from total of 271 clinical samples i.e. the isolation rate is 5.9% during six month. Among this C. difficile has been isolated from 10 males (62.5%) and 6 females (37.5%). A case of PMC has also been reported in present study. <#LINE#> @ @ Rotimi V.O., Wafaa Y.J., Eiman M.M., Brazier J.S., Johny M. and Duerden B.I., Prevalent PCR ribotypes of clinical and environmental strains of Clostridium difficile isolated from intensive-therapy unit patients in Kuwait, J of Med Microbiol., 52, 705–709 (2003) @No $ @ @ Khanna S. and Pardi D.S., Clostridium difficile infection: management strategies for a difficult disease, Ther Adv Gastroenterol., 7(2), 72–86 (2014) 3.

Various number of bacteria including species of Pseudomonas, Azotobacter, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Alcaligenes, Proteus Bacillus, have observed to enhance plant growth. In present study, wild Gossypium species and transgenic Gossypiumhisrsutum sample were collected in monsoon season from four different sampling sites Rhizosphere, Rhizoplane, Endorhizosphere, Bulk soil from Agriculture farm, cotton research centre, Surat, Gujarat. A total Fifty nine bacteria were isolated and in vitro screening was done for different plant growth promoting activities; such as phosphate solubilization, zinc solubilization, Potassium solubilization, Nitrogen Fixation, ACC deaminaseacitivity, phytohormons production, HCN production, ammonia production, Lytic enzymes production, Triphenyltetrazolium tolerance (TTC) activity. In present work, eight bacterial isolates were positive for phosphate solubilization, two zinc solubilization and twenty four potassium solubilization. Nitrogen fixation activity was shown in twenty five isolates. ACC deaminase activity was shown in twenty five isolates. IAA production and Gibberelic acid shown nine and fifty six isolates respectively. Four isolates were positive for HCN production and thirty two for ammonia production. Lipase, protease and amylase enzyme activities were shown twenty three, twenty eight and twenty respectively. Twenty four isolates were tolerance to TTC. From all these traits, eight isolates were showing maximum plant growth promotion activities. As PGPR are environmental friendly and offer sustainable approach to increase production of crop and heath. So PGPR will restrict the use of chemical fertilizer in agriculture area.<#LINE#> @ @ Juanda J.I.H., Screening of soil bacteria for Plant Growth Promoting Activities in Vitro., J. Agri.

Isolation of Azotobacter spp was carried out using Ashbys liquid and were purified further. Each Azotobacter spp culture were recognized through microscope and biochemically tests were carried out and as per consequences obtain the spp were in, A. vinelandii, A.insignis, A. chroococcum , A.agilis. A. beijerinckia, A.macrocytogenes.Results strongly supports that the Azotobacter spp in combinations C+M+I and B+V+A are significantly effective to improve the crop yield. Their efficiency equal to the recommended dose of fertilizers. Highest gibberllic acid in production AzT, kinetin in A, NAA in A1 3 andIAA. This supported that mutual association of Azotobacter spp. lead to synthesis of growth hormone, nitrogen, phosphate uptake and modification in rhizospheric interactions with respect to wheat varieties. Results strongly supports that the Azotobacter spp combinations C+M+I and B+V+A are significantly effective to improve the crop yield. Their efficiency equal to the recommended dose of fertilizers. The Azotobacter spp are capable of producing two phytohormones. A. chroococcum is found in the rhizospheric which posses the ability to enhance plant growth when applied to roots applied on tubers seed dressed are functioning as a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. It was further experimentally proved that plant response to inoculation with PGPR enhance nitrogen and parameters such as plant dry weight, development, morphology of root system, grain yield, protein and mineral nutrient content. They further observed that plant response to inoculation with PGPR enhance nitrogen and parameters such as plant dry weight, development, morphology of root system, grain yield, protein and mineral nutrient content.<#LINE#> @ @ Yadav K.S., Singh D.P., Suneja S., Narula N. and Lakshminarayana K., Effect of Azotobacter chroococcum on yield and nitrogen economy in wheat Triticum aestivumunder field condition, Environment Ecol,18, 109-113 (2000) @No $ @ @ Behl R.K., Sharma H., Kumar V. and Narula N., Interaction amongst mycorrhiza, Azotobacter chroococcum and root characteristic of wheat varities, Journal Agronomy andcrop science, (189), 151-155 (2003) @No $ @ @ Narula N., Behl R.K., Dudi H.R., Suneja S. and Lakshminarayana K., Response of wheat genotypes to inoculation under rain fed conditions, Rachis ICARDA), (17) 66-67 (1998) @No $ @ @ Barea J.M. and Brown M.E., Effect on plant growth produced by A paspali related to the synthesis of plant growth regulating substance, J Appl.

In this study sound level meter was used to measure noise levels. This study suggests that the noise levels are much higher than that of the prescribed limits of CPCB even in the silent zones. The main sources of noise pollution were found to be vehicular traffic and pressure horns causing non auditory effects like communication problem, stress, sleeplessness, and lack of efficiency. <#LINE#> @ @ Ningwal Uday Singh and Shinde Deepak, Study of Noise Pollution Levels During A Hindu Festival in Dhar Town, M.P., India,Res.

The use of sewage water for irrigation is a matter of major concern due to the presence of toxic metals and other pollutants, which ultimately contaminate the soil. Unscientific management practices of pollutants lead to ecological Imbalance. The use of sewage for irrigation is a common practice in majority of peri-urbans. An investigation made on the impact of sewage irrigation on soil and the potentiality of vegetables in the accumulation of the metal pollutants from the soil. The potential of vegetables for the accumulation of heavy metals from the sewage irrigated soil, cleans up the environment. Consumption of vegetables has positive impact on the health of man. <#LINE#> @ @ Fu Q., Hu H., Li J., Huang L., Yang H. and Lv Y., Effects of soil polluted by cadmium and lead production and quality of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.), Journal of food, Agriculture and Environment7,698-702 (2009) @No $ @ @ Akoumianakis K.A., Passam H.C., Barouchas P.E. and Moustakas N.K., Effect of cadmium on yield and cadmium concentration in the edible tissues of endive (Cichorium endivia L.) and rocket (Eruca sativa Mill) .

Data from fifty-three subject were examined; of which 32 were male the ages of the samples were similar in both sexes. The data source was 3D CBCT volumetric data from the archives of the School of Dental Sciences, HUSM. The tooth size (mesio-distal width), arch length, arch perimeter, inter-canine, inter-first premolar, inter-second premolar and inter-molar widths were measured and recorded from the 3D CBCT of both maxilla and mandibular arches. Gender differences and changes associated with age were assessed. Regression analyses were used to examine the influence of age and gender on the tooth size and arch perimeters. Principal component analysis was carried out for the measurements of each arch in males and females samples. The tooth size of the right and left side were similar in the sample except the second premolars where the right side tooth were significantly larger than its counterpart (p=0.007) but with smaller differences (0.2mm to 0.08mm). Largest variation in the tooth size were found in the upper lateral, second premolars and lower lateral incisors in men whereas the upper canine and lower incisors in the women. Tooth size of the upper and lower canine showed the largest variation of sexual dimorphism. For the Arch dimension, the greatest variation was found in the inter-second premolar width of the upper arch followed by inter canine distance, and the inter-canine distance of the lower arch. <#LINE#> @ @ Tarazona B., Llamas J.M., Cibrian R., Gandia J.L. and Paredes V., A comparison between dental measurements taken from CBCT models and those taken from a digital method, Eur J Orthod., 35(1), 1-6 (2013) @No $ @ @ Graber L.W., Vanarsdall Jr R.L. and Vig K.W.,Orthodontics: current principles and techniques,Elsevier Health Sciences, (2011) @No $ @ @ , 85-94 (2014) @No $ @ @ Harrell Jr W.E., 3D Diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics, Semin Orthod., 15(1), 35-41(2009) @No $ @ @ Nojima K., Mc Laughlin R.P., Isshiki Y., Sinclair P.M., A comparative study of Caucasian and Japanese mandibular clinical arch forms, Angle Orthod.,71(3), 195-200 (2001) @No $ @ @ Burris B.G., Harris E.F., Maxillary arch size and shape in American blacks and whites, Angle Orthod.,70(4), 297-302 (2000) @No $ @ @ Leifert M.F., Leifert MM, Efstratiadis SS, Cangialosi TJ., Comparison of space analysis evaluations with digital models and plaster dental casts, Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop., 136(1), 16 e11-14 (2009) @No $ @ @ Zilberman O., Huggare J.A. and Parikakis K.A., Evaluation of the validity of tooth size and arch width measurements using conventional and three-dimensional virtual orthodontic models, Angle Orthod.,73(3), 301-306 (2003) @No $ @ @ Bell A., Ayoub A.F. and Siebert P., Assessment of the accuracy of a three-dimensional imaging system for archiving dental study models, J.

It’s a lifelong bonding of one man and one woman but to the great extent, the major problem is of "dowry culture” in our society. Demand of dowry is a major problem in Indian marriages; it is a deep rooted social evil. As we are living in the 21st century but the truth still persists that the women in our society has been ill-treated. After or before marriage she has bereft of her own identity and looked upon to her family members or on husband for basic necessities. This study defines the relation between domestic violence and dowry demands. Forty cases of dowry related domestic violence were studied here from western UP, India. Most of the women in this study experienced dowry related domestic violence got married in their early age 52.5%, from rural background (55%), have a lower household income (55% cases) and not working (92.5%). Majority of cases reported in the early years of marriage (55%), and they were from lower educational background. The result of this study indicates that Economic empowerment, together with higher education and modified cultural norms may protect the women from such type of social evil. <#LINE#> @ @ Shetty B.S., Rao P.P and Shetty A.S., Legal terrorism in domestic violence - an Indian outlook, (2012) @No $ @ @ Rastogi M. and Therly P., Dowry and its link to violence against women in India: feminist psychological perspectives, (2006) @No $ @ @ Banerjee P.R., Dowry in 21st-Century India: The Sociocultural Face of Exploitation, (2013) @No $ @ @ Banerjee K., Gender stratification and the marriage market in India, Joy Fam,20(5), 648-676 (1999) @No $ @ @ Haveripeth P.D., Causes and consequences of dowry menace in India – a Criminological perspective, RIJS, 2(2),(2013) @No $ @ @ Singh J.P., Dowry in India: A search for new Social identity, The Eastern Anthropologist, 58(2) 199-220 (2005) @No $ @ @ Negi C.F. and Saravanan S., Violence against women in India: A literature review, Instt.

The review of literature has highlighted that there exist a number of “theme restaurant” outside India. Few, such types of restaurants were found in India too. The colonial theme reflecting the British era of Kolkata was yet not found in India and specially in Vadodara which inspired the designer to undertake the present design project with the objectives of a).Identifying the famous historical colonial monuments of British era in Kolkatta. b).Studying the interior features used in the selected colonial monuments of the British era of Kolkatta city. The observation sheet was used to gather the details for developing case studies on the existing interior features of the monuments. The findings of the case studies highlighted that the colonial monuments were having white colored walls. The existing floors were made up of wood and in majority of areas it was made up of marble and granite with geometrical pattern in them. The walls of the monuments were having mouldings. In the name of furnishings and lightings, the lights were replaced by the new lights and there were no furnishings. The monuments had chairs, tables, cabinets, book shelf and benches as prominent furniture. The furniture were made up of polished mahogany wood. The ceiling was of Mahogany wood and in some of the monuments, it was of cement with square and rectangular shapes. The findings of the present case study would serve as a valuable reference material for developing historical design projects and other design projects in general. While promoting a base to design other new interiors it would also assist to create the same in other commercial as well as residential interiors. <#LINE#> @ @ Francisco C. and Graf J., Commercial Space – Bars, Hotels and Restaurants, London, B.T.

This increases children's liking for a product children are targeted just as any other market, and, like adults, are subject to particular techniques used by advertisers to enhance their brands. Thus, to identify the stimulus utilized in advertisements enforcing the purchases made for the child into the family, the present study was undertaken. The unit of enquiry were the mothers and their children, 144 each in number belonging to different families. the data was collected through interview schedule which concerned information on the stimulus utilized in the advertisements targeted on children. Stimulus for the present study were the elements used in the advertisements to attract children such as cartoon characters, celebrity endorsements, emotional appeals etc. The findings revealed that majority of children liked the advertisement of “Health Drink A” because of the qualitative aspects. Similarly the advertisement of “Milk Product A” appealed because of the qualitative aspects used in the advertisement. the advertisements for biscuits also appealed to the children because of the “Qualitative aspect” used as a stimulus in the advertisement. Amongst the advertisements related to chocolates i.e. “Choc I” and “Choc D” was found to induce demand for purchase because of “Qualitative aspects”. “Qualitative aspects” was the stimulus which influenced the demand for the purchase of most of the products. The findings of the study will help the parents and school authorities to create awareness amongst the children for avoiding the negative persuasion of advertisements. <#LINE#> @ @ Kaur P. and Singh R., Children in family purchase decision making in india and the west: a review, Academy of Marketing Science Review, 2006(8), 1-30.cited in. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3896/is_200601/ai_n17 187 284/, February 2011 (2006) @No $ @ @ McNeal J.U. and Yeh C., A cross-cultural study of children's consumer socialization in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan, and the United Nations.

The main problem in marketing gedong gincu mango is the lack of quality guarantee that causes consumers to be reluctantly to pay premium prices. If consumers knew exactly where the mangos come from and could be sure of its quality, they would be willing to pay the higher price. This requires an original label brand, and would encourage consumers to pay premium prices and enable farmers to make greater profits. The survey was aimed to find out how consumer response if origin labeling exist in Mango Gedong Gincu, how consumers change in buying behavior from impor fruit to mango that has origin labeling, what domonant factors of cluster consumers believing that origin labeling assures them of good and safety product, which groups of consumers were paying higher than market priceand what consumers thought about profit and loss with regard to labeling.The research was conducted from June to September 2013 and data will be analyzed by discriminant analysis.

Eighty one young male soccer players of the city of Kota Bharu in Kelantan province of Malaysia, in the age range of 18.6 to 20.9 years, volunteered as participants. They were assessed with transient anxiety; simple and complexreaction ability; motor coordination; psychobiological measures of tonic and phasic skin conductance activity; assessment of muscle potentiality and soccer agility and soccer juggling skill as measure of pre-intervention analyses. Thereafter, they were randomly and equally categorized into three groups; viz. Group A (N = 27), i.e. control group who didn’t receive any intervention; Group B(N = 27) referred to as the Experimental Group I, who received Abbreviated Progressive Muscle Relaxation or APMR andGroup C (N = 27), hereafter the Experimental Group II, who received active relaxation training. Both of the interventions were introduced to the respective group following standardize protocol (20 minutes/day; 2 days/week for12 weeks). Mid-term analyses (on all of the parameters of pre-intervention analyses were repeated) were done six weeks after the introduction of intervention sessions. Thereafter interventions continued following the similar protocol for six more weeks. Post-intervention analyses following similar analyses protocols were done on all of the participants, and the findings revealed that both APMR and active relaxation training had beneficial impacts on enhancement in autonomic adaptation, whereas compared to active relaxation training, APMR had relatively better beneficial impacts on the level of coordination performancesof the soccer players. Furthermore, due to enhanced coordination performances, significant improvement in soccer juggling performance and in soccer agility was observed in the players who received APMR training. <#LINE#> @ @ Nunome H., Ikegami Y., Asai T. and Sato Y.

Attempts have been made to realize the relative significance of perceptual-motor skills influencing relevant psychological, physiological factors required for achievement of performance excellence. One-hundred seventy-six young soccer players living in Kelantan province of Malaysia participated in this study. Regression analyses were done to identify in-depth relationship between the psychological and psychomotor processes with psychobiological autonomic arousal modulation capacity of the players, which would determine higher-order cortical activation in the soccer players. These analyses were associated with performance analyses pertaining to skilful soccer performance. Psychomotor and autonomic processes involved in differential levels of soccer participation and performance were verified in accordance with the level of cortical activation. Generalised lack in motor coordination, delayed movement timing as well as faster reaction ability along with adequate autonomic response habituation were viewed as the most significant intervening variables explaining cortical activation observed in the soccer players. <#LINE#> @ @ Williams A.M. and Reilly T., Talent identification and development in soccer, J Sp Sc, 18, 657–67 (2000) @No $ @ @ Saha S., Saha Srilekha., Mazlan M.A.B.M. and Arriffin M.I.B.M.

Other crustaceans are active predators or scavenge nutrients from detritus. A few are adapted to high salinity and are parasitic or sessile, hatching young that resemble miniature adults; others go through larval stages. This study examined the diversity and ecology of macrobenthic crustaceans from selected stations in Cochin estuary, Kerala. Field sampling conducted from June 2009 to May 2011 on monthly basis. The major crustaceans were amphipods, tanaids, isopods, insects, decapods, and acarina. Corophium volutator and Cirolana fluviatilis were the dominant amphipod and isopod species, respectively. Tanais philetaerus Stebbing was the dominant tanaid species. The crab species Halicarcinus messor was the dominant decapod and Neumania spp. (water mite) were the major Acaridae. Chironomid larvae were the most abundant insects. The temperature and pH of the sediments and benthic waters varied seasonally, and the dissolved oxygen content of the latter greatly influenced the diversity and abundance. The spatial abundance of the crustaceans varied between the stations, with a low at Station 8 (80 no/m) and a high at Station 5 (9733 no/m). The seasonal abundance was least (182 no/m) during the pre-monsoon season of 2011, and maximum (7935 no/m) in the post-monsoon season in 2009–10. The numerical abundance varied between the three zones of the estuary, with the maximum mean abundance found in the middle region (4452 no/m), followed by the southern (2582 no/m) and northern (1157 no/m) regions. The crustacean abundance fell remarkably between the first (3705 no/m) and second (1674 no/m) years. The numerical abundance was highest in the region of the estuary with high salinity, a moderate pH, and a high percentage of silt and clay. <#LINE#> @ @ Rappert E.E. and Barnes R.D., Invertebrate zoology, 6th ed.

The use of PGPR is increases regularly by farmers. Rhizosphere of many plants has microbial diversity depending on the variety of plants and effect of root exudates which promotes growth and also the crop yield or quality. During the present study such 30 plant growth promoting rhizobacteria were isolated from rhizospheric soil of Sorghum bicolor cultivated at Jalgaon North Maharashtra Region of India. The rhizospheric soil from fields having alkaline pH were collected at first stages of growth and were tested for various PGPR traits. Most efficient bacterial isolates were screened on the basis of their positive activity for, IAA production, ACC-deaminase activity, P-solubilization, Zn-solubilization and N2fixationare directly promote plant growth. Compared to bulk soil, rhizosheric bacteria are more potential to promote plant growth. Out of five different traits screened bacteria were having more than 50 % traits supporting plant growth out of 30 isolates. Such PGPR species can be further explored as bioinoculants. <#LINE#> @ @ Prathibha K.S. and.

Innovative techniques for drug delivery have been explored in human medicine in recent years. Transdermal drug delivery has gained much vital impact in dosage form; it has been impending as asubstitute to oral delivery. Several tactics for improving transdermal drug delivery were researched; Ethosome are ethanol derivatives of liposomes. Permeation enhancer has the ability to cause the perturbation of the skin and help in drug penetration. The ethanol effect of ethosome and permeation enhancer will synergistically enhance the drug penetration to deeper skin and systemic circulation. Lamivudineethosomal formulations were prepared and characterized for entrapment efficiency, fluorescence skin study and ex-vivo study. Propylene glycols (PG), oleic acid are penetration enhancer for lamivudine into skin. Ethosomes were prepared with propylene glycol (ETP) and linoleic acid (ETL) respectively. Ethosomes bearing propylene glycol and oleic acid has shown good flux values 1.5 fold and 2 fold than ethosomes (ET) respectively. The highest entrapment efficiency of ETP-2 is 64.6±1.5% and ETO-2 formulation is 68.2±4.1%. Increases in the concentration of both permeation enhancers decrease the entrapment efficiency. The fluorescence skin ex-vivo study of the ethosomes formulation reveals that oleic acid ethosomes has deeper penetration in the skin compared to ethosomes containing propylene glycol. The release of the ETP-2 and ETO-2 has both shown sustain release pattern for 12 hrs with reduced in lag time. Ethosomes containing oleic acid has better entrapment, enhancement of lamivudine penetration to deeper skin compares ethosomes containing propylene glycol. <#LINE#> @ @ John D.

The software, platform and infrastructure as a service model will become the most popular mode of getting computing resources by common users. There has been growing research interest in managing the cloud of resources so as to achieve optimum utilization of resources along with desired quality of service. In the present scenario there is much scope of research in mapping users’ request to appropriate servers in cloud computing environment. In this paper, the authors propose an analytical model that maps dynamic users’ request to physical servers in the cloud that is based on a fixed charge mutli-index transportation problem. Thus a multi-index transportation Problem Cloud Resource Scheduler (MTPCRS) mechanism with mathematical formulation is developed along with a numerical example. A Multi- Indexed Cloud Resource Scheduling Algorithm (MICRSA) is also given in order to calculate the total cost of processing the service requests. With the help of sequence diagram and business process diagram it is shown that the model is simple to implement and produces an efficient and cost effective resource allocation plan for satisfying users’ requests. <#LINE#> @ @ Anton B., Jemal A. and Buyya R., Energy-aware Resource Allocation Heuristics for Efficient Management of Data Centers for Cloud Computing, Journal of Future Generation Computer Systems, 755–768, (2012) @No $ @ @ Anton B. and Buyya R., Optimal Online DeterministicAlgorithms and Adaptive Heuristics for Energy and Performance Efficient Dynamic Consolidation of Virtual Machines in Cloud Data Centers, Concurrency And Computation: Practice And Experience, 24, 1397–1420,(2012) @No $ @ @Johan T., Montero Rubén S., Moreno-Vozmediano Rafael, Llorente Ignacio M., Cloud Brokering Mechanisms For Optimized Placement Of Virtual Machines Across Multiple Providers, Future Generation Computer Systems,28, 358–367, (2012) @No $ @ @ Mahmoodi K.R., Nejad S.S. and Ershadi M., ‘Expert Systems and Artificial Intelligence Capabilities Empower Strategic Decisions: A Case study, Res.

The cloud service providers and their services are increasing exponentially in present scenario of computing. In such a situation a customer faces the problem of selecting the best cloud service provider according to his personalized quality of service requirements. Moreover, the dynamic nature of the underlying network and several unpredictable circumstances, cause the service providers to depart from the promised QoS, as per Service Level Agreement. In this paper the authors present a framework for cloud service selection engine which acts as a tool to enable the customers to select the most appropriate cloud service provider from the Web Repository. The framework uses analytic hierarchy approach for multi-criteria QoS decision making which accelerates the selection process. Past users’ experience is used as a heuristic which helps the algorithm to converge in polynomial time. A comparison has been given between proposed mechanism and previous approaches and the results of proposed technique are promising. <#LINE#> @ @ Buyya R., Garg S.K. and Calheiros R.N., SLA Oriented Resource Provisioning for Cloud Computing: Challenges, Architecture and Solutions, Proceedings of the International Conference on Cloud and Service Computing, IEEE, Australia, 1-10, (2011) @No $ @ @ Beloglazov A. and Buyya R., Managing Overloaded Hosts for Dynamic Consolidation of Virtual Machines in Cloud DataCenters Under Quality of Service Constraints, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 24(17), 1366-1379 (2013) @No $ @ @ Zheng Z., Wu Z., Zhang Y., Lyu M.R. and Wang J., QoS Ranking Prediction for Cloud Services, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems,24(6), 1213-1222(2013) @No $ @ @ Ding S., Yang S., Zhang Y., Liang C. and Xia C., Combining QoS prediction and customer satisfaction estimation to solve cloud service trustworthiness evaluation problems, Knowledge Based System,56, 216-225 (2014) @No $ @ @ Zhao L., Ren Y., Li M. and Sakurai K., Flexible service selection with user-specific QoS support in serviceoriented architecture, J.

B. A. University (A Central University), Lucknow, UP, INDIA<#LINE#>4/3/2014<#LINE#>21/8/2014<#LINE#>The essence of cloud computing comes from the concept of virtualization. It is a technique of implementing a number of guest operating systems on a single host server such that memory and CPU resources of the host machine are shared among the guest systems. The guest machines are technically known as virtual machines (VMs). Virtualization enables full utilization of a physical machine in a cost-effective manner. However, varying and continuous load from users may overload a physical machine and this can lead to serious implications on performance, reliability and other service-level-agreement (SLA) parameters. To deal with this issue, VM migrations are practiced which enables the transfer of a virtual machine from an overloaded server to an under-loaded host, thereby relaxing the workload of the source host. Load balancing in a datacenter gives a chance to achieve a significantly high fault-tolerance, a feature which is very essential during live application executions in a cloud environment. This paper discusses the basic live migration techniques existing today, and proposes a hybrid approach of live VM migration, by combining the benefits of other existing techniques. Live migration refers to a transparent transfer of an active guest or virtual machine from a source server to a chosen destination server. <#LINE#> @ @ Wood Timothy, Shenoy Prashant, Venkataramani Arun, and Yousif Mazin, Black-box and Gray-box Strategies for Virtual Machine Migration, 4th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design USENIX Association & Implementation, (NSDI 07) (2007) @No $ @ @ Strunk Anja and Dargie Waltenegus, Does Live Migration of Virtual Machines cost Energy?, 27th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA), (2013) @No $ @ @ Voorsluys William, Broberg James, Venugopal Srikumar, and Buyya Rajkumar, Cost of Virtual Machine Live Migration in Clouds: A Performance Evaluation, Cloud Com '09 Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Cloud Computing (2009) @No $ @ @ Perez-Botero Diego, A Brief Tutorial on Live Virtual Machine Migration From a Security Perspective, Proceedings of the 2013 international workshop on Security in cloud (2013) @No $ @ @ Al-Kiswany Samer, Subhraveti Dinesh, Sarkar Prasenjit, Ripeanu Matei, VMFlock: Virtual Machine Co-Migration for the Cloud, Proceedings of the 20th international symposium on High performance distributed computing(2011) @No $ @ @ Deng Wei, Liu Fangming, Jin Hai, Liao Xiaofei, ‘Lifetime or Energy: Consolidating Servers with Reliability Control in Virtualized Cloud Datacenters’, Cloud Computing Technology and Science (Cloud Com), IEEE 4th International Conference (2012) @No $ @ @ Jin Hai, Liu Haikun, Liao Xiaofei, Hu Liting, Li Peng, ‘Live Migration of Virtual Machine Based on Full-System Trace and Replay’, 18th ACM international symposium on High performance distributed computing (2009) @No $ @ @ Hines Michael R. and Gopalan Kartik, Post-Copy Based Live Virtual Machine Migration Using Adaptive Pre-Paging and Dynamic Self -Ballooning, VEE’09, March 11–13, , Washington, DC, USA, (2009) @No $ @ @ Boru Dejene, Kliazovich Dzmitry, Granelli Fabrizio, Bouvry Pascal and Zomaya Albert Y., Energy-Efficient Data Replication in Cloud Computing Datacenters, Globecom 2013 Workshop - Cloud Computing Systems, Networks, and Applications(2013) @No $ @ @ Stage Alexander and Setzer Thomas, ‘Network-aware migration control and scheduling of differentiated virtual machine workloads’, Proceedings of the 2009 ICSE Workshop on Software Engineering Challenges of Cloud Computing(2009) @No $ @ @ Gustafsson Erik, Optimizing Total Migration Time in Virtual Machine Live Migration, www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:609356/FULLTEXT01.pdf (2013) @No $ @ @ Sun Meng, Gu Weidong, Zhang Xinchang, Shi Huiling, Zhang Wei, A Matrix Transformation Algorithm for Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud, trustcom, 2013 12th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (TrustCom), 1778-1783, (2013) @No $ @ @ Hirofuchi T., Ogawa H., Nakada H., Itoh S. and Sekiguchi S., A Live Storage Migration Mechanism over Wan for Relocatable Virtual Machine Services on Clouds’, Proc.

Most of the regions falling in tropical and subtropical areas receiving high rainfall are facing this threat and it is major cause of mortality in these regions. This deadly disease has promulgated into most of the Asian nations which are on the threshold of development. It has been observed that Antimalarial drugs that are prescribed for treatment of malaria do produce symptoms of toxicity because of over dosage or drug reactions consequent upon administration of Antimalarials. Various Antimalarial drugs such as Mefloquine, Halofantrine, Artether, Artemether etc. are known to have caused clinical manifestations such as Neuropsychiatric toxicity, Neurotoxicity, Cardio respiratory collapse and death. The present study reviews the articles stating the clinical findings in the cases of antimalarial drugs toxicity. <#LINE#> @ @ http://www.who.int/malaria/media/world_malaria_report_ (2013) @No $ @ @ Peto T.E.A., Toxicity of Antimalarial drugs, J of Royal Soc. of Med., 1(82), (1989) @No $ @ @ Alkadi H.O., Antimalarial Drug toxicity : A Review, Chemo J., (2007) @No $ @ @ Khanna N., Antimicrobial Agents: Antiprotozoal Drugs, Pharmacology,82, (2007) @No $ @ @ Harrison A.C., Bioactivation and detoxification of amodiaquine, Xeno J., 25(2), 199-217 (1995) @No $ @ @ Touze J.E., Heno P., Fourcade I., Deharo J.C., Thomas G., Bohan S., Paule P., Riviere P. and Kouassi E., The Effects of Antimalarial drugs on ventricular repolarization, J.
