@Research Paper <#LINE#>Causes and Consequences of Tiger Mortality in Corbett Tiger Reserve, Ramnagar, Uttrakhand India<#LINE#>Sanjeev@Kumar<#LINE#>1-4<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IYSC-2015-2AVFS-02.pdf<#LINE#> Dept. of Zoology, Govt. P.G. College, Ramnagar, Nainital Uttrakhand, INDIA <#LINE#>10/5/2015<#LINE#>20/8/2015<#LINE#> Panthera tigris in any forest is a good sign of healthy habitat. But its mortality indicates the destruction of habitat and red alert for conflict and ecological stress. Due to many causes like, carrying capacity of area, socio-ecological factor, anthropogenic stress, negative attitude of people towards tiger conservation. Livestock grazing in reserve area lead conflict and death. Depletion of food leads struggle between same species as tiger show territorial behaviour. So inter and intra specific struggle is very common in same are for survival. Especially in mating season (Nov-Feb) the fighting cases were observed directly and indirectly (postmortem report). Corbett is a land of roar, sometime tiger shown unnatural feeding behaviour i.e. preys upon elephants. And this type of conditional behaviour is very typical and depicts the intelligence of tiger in human-dominated landscapes. Total 26 cases were studied. <#LINE#> @ @ Akckaya H.

SRS83, originally isolated from dye contaminated soil. The dye decolourization and degradation activity of the culture was enhanced by optimization. Addition of optimized concentration of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus to the effluent facilitated complete decolourization of textile industry effluent within 24 h, at pH 7 and at a temperatureof 322 C. Addition of starch (10 g/L), sodium nirate (4 g/L) and potassium phosphates (0.2 g/L) were found optimum for complete decolourization of BHM supplemented with 10% of the effluent by B. pumilus SRS83 in 24 h. The organism showed a 87.18% and 84.91% reduction in COD and ADMI values, respectively of the as it used effluent having an initial COD and ADMI value 5632 and 2674 respectively, after 48 h of treatment. <#LINE#> @ @ Vitor V. and Corco C.R., Decolorization of textile dye by Candida albicans isolated from industrial effluents, J Ind.

Holkar Science College, Indore, MP, INDIA <#LINE#>8/7/2015<#LINE#>1/8/2015<#LINE#> Phytoplanktons are elemental factor of aquatic community as they are major sources of biologically significant and organic carbon, situated at the base of the food chain. The productivity and density of the phytoplanktons are majorly influenced by different physico-chemical characteristics of water. Algae are very useful for eutrophication estimation. Quality and distribution of algal flora in river have been carried out systematically to evolve algal indices of pollution. The present paper deals with the assessment of water quality and phytoplankton diversity of river Narmada at Jalud. Phytoplankton of the River Narmada consisted mostly of Chlorophyceae (green algae) Bacillariophyceae (Diatoms). In river Narmada the temporal series of phytoplankton groups is remarked as Chlorophyceae � Bacillariphycease � Cyanophyceae � Euglenophyceae. The species distribution, abundance and composition of phytoplankton community are governed by various physico-chemical elements of the water body. The population of Plankton varies in different seasons and months. <#LINE#> @ @ Srivastava S., Kumar P. and Gupta A.K., Comparative Study of Water Characteristics and Algal Biodiversity in River Gomti and Varuna.

Global warming has set in motion and is affecting the timing of migration of birds. Birds are reliable indicator of environment change for centuries and their arrival indicates start of winter and departure of summer in the present study area. There are many examples of the effect of climatic change on birds from all around the world which taken together provide compelling evidence that climatic change is already affecting birds in diverse ways. A status survey of birds from Sirpur Lake was conducted during the 2014. Seventeen species of birds belonging to 7 different families were recorded. Coot (Fulica atria, Linnaeus) have been the most common and abundant species of family Rallidae in the reservoir. An attempt of this paper is to provide significant informations about the birds inhabitating Sirpur lake to recognize this site as globally important habitat for the conservation of bird population. <#LINE#> @ @ Ali S and Ripley SD, Compact handbook of birds of India and Pakistan, New Delhi, Oxford University Press, (1987) @No $ @ @ Ali S., The Book of Indian Birds, 13th revised edition.

Due to their undesirable side effects, development of new agents preferably from natural sources with less adverse effects is needed. Apigenin (API), a well known insulin-secretagogue and insulin-mimetic agent is abundantly present in fruits, nuts and plant derived beverages. The present study investigates the DPP-IV inhibitory potential and antidiabetic effects of API using various approaches. Through in silico study, we showed that API has binding efficacy at Glu206 in the active site of DPP-IV. Plasma glucose and insulin levels were decreased when API (1.5 mg/kg b.w. for every alternate for last 30 days) was administered to high fat, high fructose diet (HFFD) fed rats. Further, the activity of DPP-IV in plasma and hippocampal homogenate was inhibited more in the API- treated group than in the sitagliptin (STG)- treated group. API has a strong inhibitory effect towards DPP-IV enzyme in vivo and in silico and therefore can be a promising compound for type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment. <#LINE#> @ @ Ansorge S., Nordhoff K., Bank U., Heimburg A., Julius H., Breyer D., Thielitz A., Reinhold D. and Tager M., Novel aspects of cellular action of dipeptidyl peptidase IV/CD26, Biol.Chem., 392, 153168 (2011) @No $ @ @ Palalau A.

The climate of a study area is tropical arid to semi arid. It is strongly periodical and seasonal. Overall the spider faunal status, occurrence and abundance are found rich in Mehsana district. It is due to its topography, climatic condition, and agriculture practice. 90 species were identified belonging to 46 genera and 18 families. Majority of available species belong to hunting group. Of the highest count of 18 families, maximum genera are of families Salticidae and Araneidae. Hippasa pisaurina, Pocoek is a pre dominant species in a district. Maximum population is found in Early Monsoon and during cold and dry season the population is very low. The impact of food availability, temperature, crop calendar and seasonal fluctuation has been observed on diversified population in different habitat of spiders. Habitat preference is very specific to different families. e.g. Areneidae family member are restricted to farmland. <#LINE#> @ @ Simon E., Materiaux pour servir a la fauna arachnologigue d 1' Asie merifionale, J.

Cubic ZnS, a semiconductor with a broad band gap, has fascinated much consideration because of its electroluminescent applications due to its stability, low cost and low toxicity. In the present study, the synthesis and antimicrobial activity of zinc sulphide nanoparticles against oral pathogens is demostrated. The nanoparticles of ZnS are prepared by chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature. The process for the synthesis of zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles is fast, novel, and ecofriendly. The sample was characterized by XRD and UV-visible spectroscopy. The average particle size was determined from the X-ray line broadening and by using Debye-Scherrer equation. The antimicrobial activity was studied against oral pathogens such as Streptococcus sp. Staphylococcus sp. and Candida albicans and these results confirmed that the sulphide nanoparticles exhibit good bactericidal activity. <#LINE#> @ @ Dinsmore A.D., Hsu D.S., Gray H.F., Qadri S.B., Tian Y., Ratna B.R., Mn-doped ZnS nanoparticles as efficient low-voltage cathodoluminescent phosphors, Appl.

The experiment was analyzed using GEO data set and expression of GSTP1 in both control and actinic keratotic (AK) lesion, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) tumor biopsies data from 5 patients with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) were analyzed. Known interactions for GSTP1 and coexpressed genes were also carried out using STRING database. The result shows that GSTP1 was over-expressed in the non melanoma samples (actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma) compare with the control. Although one sample in the actinic keratosis shows higher expression, all the samples in squamous cell carcinoma show high expression of GSTP1. Result from STRING data base show that GSTP1interact and co-expressed with a number of genes which are important in understanding of cancer and progression of the disease. From the data generated, we concluded that GSTP1 was over-expressed in non melanoma skin cancer. <#LINE#> @ @ Toffoli G., Frustaci S., Tumiotto L., Talamini R., Gherlinzoni F., Picci P. and Boiocchi M., Expression of MDR1 and GST-pi in human soft tissue sarcomas: relation to drug resistance and biological aggressiveness, Ann Oncol, 3, 63-9 (1992) @No $ @ @ Jeronimo C, Usadel H, Henrique R, Oliveira J, Lopes C, Nelson WG and Sidransky D., Quantitation of GSTP1 methylation in non-neoplastic prostatic tissue and organ-confined prostate adenocarcinoma, J Natl Cancer Inst., 93, 1747-52 (2001) @No $ @ @ Lee WH, Morton RA, Epstein JI, Brooks JD, Campbell PA, Bova GS, Hsieh WS, Isaacs WB and Nelson WG., Cytidine methylation of regulatory sequences near the pi-class glutathione S transferase gene accompanies human prostatic carcinogenesis, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 91, 11733-7 (1994) , 40-47 (2015) @No $ @ @ Brooks JD, Weinstein M, Lin X, Sun Y, Pin SS, Bova GS, Epstein JI and Isaacs WB, Nelson WG.

Two simple, low cost yet efficient photobioreactors a) Stirred Tank Photobioreactor and b) Helical Photobioreactor were developed and their performance evaluation was carried out for the production of Chlorella minutissima. The performance of photobioreactors was evaluated every 24 hours by measuring the growth of algae through a) Optical Density and Transmittance Method b) Dry Weight Method through centrifuge. The highest optical density observed for helical photobioreactor was 0.264 while for stirred tank photobioreactor, it was observed to be 0.247. Lowest transmittance observed for helical photobioreactor was 48.75 % while for stirred tank photobioreactor, it was observed to be 59.21%. The average dry weight per day through centrifuge method for helical photobioreactor was found to be 9.33 gl-1d-1, while for stirred tank photobioreactor it was found to be 6.06 gl-1d-1. The study finds both photobioreactors suitable for the production of algae. Also the simplicity in design and operation makes them a suitable candidate for algae production. Growth analysis of other algae species needs to be carried out in these photobioreactors in order to upscale them for the mass production of different algae species. <#LINE#> @ @ Schenk MP, Skye RTH, Stephens E, Marx CU, Mussgnug HJ, Posten C, Kruse O. and Hankamer B., Second Generation Biofuels: High-Efficiency Microalgae for Biodiesel Production, Bioenerg.

Despite an increasing number of studies on Employee Engagement, no unifying work is focused on the Fun at work and its effects. The general behaviour of employee and his/her interpersonal with colleague is usually not been observed or studied. Chatting over lunch and joking with coworkers may not seem like more than pleasant distractions at the office, but they could have an enormous impact on your work life. When employee do not have friend to talk, discuss, share, argue and chat about, the engagement level start deteriorating and the employee start feeling stressed and the productivity also declines. This paper and study aims to investigate that fun at work activities helps an employee to make friend at work on media employees. This study surveys 8500 employee of Dainik Bhaskar a largest hindi print media house covering its all onroll staff working across country. The results showed that in media industry employees are either Strong agree or agree that fun at work activities helps them to make friend at work. The purpose of this study is to invoke concern over fun at work activities which would result in making friend at work which will leads in increased employee engagement and finally result in Higher Job Satisfaction, Better performance and Career Success. Since this is an untouched area in research and nearly dark area for HR professionals. This study will reveal the importance of fun at work activities in helping employees to make friend at work in media industry. <#LINE#> @ @ Karl K. and Harland L., What fun and whats not: An examination of age, gender difference, and attitudes toward fun activities at work, Proceedings of the Midwest Academy of Management Meeting, Chicago, (2), 78-92 (2005) @No $ @ @ Glasser W., The control theory manager, Journal of New York: Harper Business, 1 (1), 115-117 (1994) @No $ @ @ Bolton S.C. and Houlihan M., Are we having fun yet?

These, being biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, are accumulated as energy reserve granules by many microbia intracellularly under carbon rich and nutrient starving conditions. PHB has proved itself as a promising alternative to non degradable plastics. PHB as bioplastics serves advantage of biological origin and can be completely degraded by variety of microorganisms. In the present study, different PHB producing microorganisms were isolated from soil using E2 medium and its rapid screening for PHB production was performed by Sudan Black B dye plate assay. The PHB accumulators were then subjected to spectrophotometric quantitation method and the highest accumulator was identified and characterized. Isolate KOL IV showed maximum accumulation of PHB and was optimized for its ability to accumulate maximum amount of PHB. It was identified as one of the Bacillus species and could finally accumulate 48% of PHB against dry cell mass after optimization. <#LINE#> @ @ Philip S., T. Keshavarz and I.

Different water bodies of this area are relentlessly receiving the effluents of mining activities as well as run-off and leachate. Different physicochemical parameters of ground water, surface water and mine drainage water along with bottom sediment of Damsal Nala were analysed seasonally during the year 2010 - 11. Comparative and seasonal analysis of physicochemical parameters of its uncontaminated upstream and contaminated downstream regions was recorded in this study. Statistical interpretations were also carried out to access the level of contamination. Concentrations of heavy metals in the ground water (Cr+6: 0.00 - 0.06 mg/l; Cr+3,+6: 0.01 - 0.11 mg/l; Fe: 1.03 - 1.50 mg/l), surface water (Cr+6: 0.000 - 0.066 mg/l; Cr+3,+6: 0.01 - 0.21 mg/l; Fe:0.72 - 9.72 mg/l) and mine drainage water (Cr+6: 0.98 - 1.42 mg/l; Cr+3,+6: 49.32 - 55. 24 mg/l; Fe: 0.75 - 3.56 mg/l) were found to cross the standard value in many sites which caused severe menace to the inhabitants and aquatic organisms of this region. The bottom sediment of Damsal Nala was also found to contain high level of heavy metals like total chromium (0.29 - 31.03 g/kg) and total iron (0.63 - 89 g/kg) which may transfer to the entire food chain including human being. <#LINE#> @ @ Dutta K., Impact of Mining on Environment: An Overview, Proceedings of the National Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities for Management of Water Supplies in Rural Areas, COMWRA, Key Resource Centre (Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, GOI, New Delhi), Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, ISM, Dhanbad, India, 161-163, (2015) @No $ @ @ Dutta K., Human Tide: An Environmentally Induced Migration, Res.

The main reason behind burning of crop residues is due to difficulty in collection of crop residue. If collected, these residues then may be use in different forms like industrial/domestic fuel, fodder, packaging, bedding, wall construction, and green manuring etc. Burning of crop residues emitted many of the gases (SO2, NO2 and CO etc) other than green house gases also. This paper is focussed on impact of crop residue burning on the green house gases and climate change in Madhya Pradesh. Green house gases (GHGs) emitted from agricultural / crop residue burning such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O). The total green house gases emitted due to crop residue burning from Madhya Pradesh is around 5676.46 kg/year out of which carbon dioxide released is approx. 5666.1 kg/year, methane approx. 10.10 kg/year and about 0.26 kg/year of nitrous oxide. It is also compared that the impacts of these green house gases over a 20 year time horizon. These gases are responsible for the green house effect or global warming which may cause climate change. <#LINE#> @ @ http://mp.gov.in/en/major-crops-of-mp (accessed on 05/08/2015), (2015) @No $ @ @ Tripathi S., Singh RN and Sharma S.K., quantification and characterization of soil physico-chemical properties influence by wheat (Triticum aestivum) residue burning in India, Journ. of Glob.

Molecular modeling studies were performed on a dataset of 22 pyridinic analogs of nimesulide. The dataset was divided into a training set consisting of 16 and a test set comprising of 6 compounds on random basis. The COX-1 activity expressed in IC50 was converted into pIC50 and used as a dependent variable in the QSAR study. The molecular modeling studies were performed using SYBYL X 2.0 software running on a core-2 duo Intel processor workstation. The CoMFA model displayed good statistical significance in terms of internal cross validation (q2) 0.458 and non-cross validation (r2) 0.982 respectively. Also, the predicted r2 values (r2 pred) of 0.77 for the test set for the developed model suggested significant predicting ability of the models. In the HQSAR analysis, better statistical results were obtained in fragment size 57 and A/B/C/H distinct (q2 0.987). Partial least square regression studies were performed by using COX inhibitory activity as dependent variable and structural properties of CoMFA and HQSAR as independent variables. Also, PLS of CoMFA was carried out with additional descriptors like ClogP, CMR and total dipole. Pharmacophore was developed using Galahad module of Sybyl and seven pharmacophoric features were depicted in molecules. The docking studies were carried out on pdb 1CQE (COX-1 with Flurbiprofen) and the interaction was obtained with Arg120. The studies revealed the importance of nitrogen as linker and triflouromethanesulfonamido group attached to pyridine ring. <#LINE#> @ @ Vane J.R., Botting R.M., Inflamm.

To conduct the study, 40 male cricket players (Ave. age 18.03 yrs) from Christian Eminent Cricket Academy in Indore (M.P) were selected as sample. Selected subjects were then divided into two groups i.e. experiment and control group with equal number of subjects assigned randomly in each group. The subjects of experimental group received three weeks specific physical fitness training program while subjects grouped into control group did not receive such programme apart from their routine exercise. To assess agility of selected male cricket players Run a Three protocol of Bourdon et al. (2000) was chosen. The scores on test protocol were assessed before and after the completion of study period for both the groups i.e. experimental and control group. Gain score (post-pre test) indicate that agility of male cricket players belonging to experimental group has improved significantly as compared to their counterparts belonging to control group. Therefore it may be concluded that specific physical fitness training is beneficial for improving the agility of male cricket players. <#LINE#> @ @ Baley J.A., Illustrated guide to developing athletic strength, power and agility.

Recurrent miscarriage becomes a problem that affect an increasing number of couples with the frequency of about 1% in the couples who want to conceive. This study is based on comparison of chromosome Heteromorphism in the karyotypes of two groups. The first group with 400 individuals with the history of more than two miscarriages and no live birth and as control group 200 individuals with one or more than one normal child. The study revealed that the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and variations leading to recurrent miscarriage in couples was 18% Chromosomal rearrangements constituted 27.78% of the cases while heterochromatic variations constituted 72.22% of the chromosomal cause for recurrent miscarriages. In the present study, pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 and heteromorphism of chromosomes 1 were the most common findings. Present study indicates that there is need to evaluate the known heterochromatic variants as these variants play an important role in pregnancy loss. <#LINE#> @ @ Bhasin MK., Human Population Cytogenetics: A Review, Int J Hum Genet, 5, 83-152 (2005) @No $ @ @ Borgaonkar D.S., Chromosomal variation in man: a catalogue of chromosomal variants and anomalies, (8th edn) Wiley-Liss, New York (1997) @No $ @ @ Shaffer L.G., Slovak M.L., Campbel L.J., ISCN 2009: an International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature.

It has rapidly gained momentum since the government of India has declared the year 2001 as Women Empowerment Year. It is a well known fact that in almost all developed country women has played equal role in its development. It is a great challenge for the women of 21st century to face the resistance shown by conservative people of closed type society like India. Women have equal rights to enjoy freedom in terms of social, personal and professional life. Women empowerment is meaningless if it is not equated with their social freedom. Although our constitution has provide several laws and orders to in favour of women but the situation is critical yet. Women are still socially deprived from their rights of taking decision about career and life and have to phase violence either at domestic , professional or at physical level it may arises in the form of sexual harassment or may take cases of honour killing. People still consider the housekeeping and serving their families as the prime important work for women. Keeping in view the importance and seriousness of the above cited matter the investigator has decided to put forth a small sketch about women social freedom in the current status The study aimed at to examine the women social freedom in relation to some socio-demographic variables like locality, marital status, type of family, educational qualifications and profession. Descriptive survey method was employed. A sample of 160 women from different educational institutes and locality (rural and urban area) of Rohtak district of Haryana state was selected by random sampling technique. Women Social Freedom Scale constructed and standardized by Bhusan, L. (2014) was used for collection of data. It has been revealed from the analysis and interpretations of the present study that desire for social freedom is not influenced by locality and type of family, but marital status; educational qualifications and profession have a significant influence. <#LINE#> @ @ Astell Marry, Some Reflections upon Marriage, Occasion'd by the Duke and Dutchess of Mazarine's Case; Which is Also Consider'd; London: Printed for John Nutt, near Stationers-Hall, (1700 Ist edition.) retrieved from http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/ astell/marriage/marriage.html (2015) @No $ @ @ Kumari S.

Cellulase enzyme and various cellulosic product obtained from microorganisms have shown to have immense industrial potential by using to chemical cellulase as being traditionally used in industries such as a, food industry, textile industry, paper and pulp industry, biofuel production, brewing and agricultural industry etc. cellulase being broadly used for industrial purpose and the enzyme cellulase being an extremely complex system, research oriented work for its production has importance periodically. The availability of substrate for the production of this enzyme was abundant. The most abundant carbohydrate polymer in biosphere is cellulose, having an annual production that estimated to be over 7.5 1010tones. Cellulase is the inducible enzyme produced by various microorganisms like bacteria, fungi while there growth on carbon containing sources that is cellulose used as a substrate. As compare to bacteria; fungi was most suitable microbes for the enzyme production. .Filamentous fungi that is slender thread like structure of fungi is mostly preferred for cellulase enzyme production and it has good capacity to produced extracellular enzyme. The analysis of production of cellulase enzyme was done by Di-nitrosalycyclic acid (DNS) method .The present study aimed to screen fungi Aspergillus niger for the production of cellulase enzyme and further enzyme purification. <#LINE#> @ @ Sri Lakshmi S. and Narasimha G., Production of cellulases by fungal cultures isolated from forest litter soil, Ann For.

Cenosphere is a glass hard, inert hallow silicate spheres. In India, the main source of electricity is coal fired thermal power plants. The huge amount of fly ash (cenosphere) is generated by this power plant. In the present paper, we see the cenosphere disc which is the mixture of fly ash-talc with porous material (Napathalene) and 10 % sodium hexa meta phosphate (SHMP) added to the mixture. As increase in the talc percentage, the absorption of water is decrease while the porous material (Napathalene) is added upto 60% the absorption of water is gradually starts increasing. <#LINE#> @ @ Rehsi S.S and Garg S.K., Characteristics of Indian fly ashes.

They have the potential to hydrolyse triacyl glycerol to glycerol and fatty acids in aqueous condition. In non aqueous medium product recovery and substrate solubility can be increased by using different organic solvents. As we know in the presence of organic solvents almost enzymes deactivated, but if we isolate a strain which can produce an enzyme which can retain its activity in any harsh condition (in the presence of organic solvents), that enzyme could be an exceptional biocatalyst for the same. Consequently, bacterial strain was isolated and screened which could grow, multiply and produce an enzyme in solvent containing nutrient amended medium. This organism was also checked for its potential to produce lipase. The isolate Bacillus SRR-11 is a Gram positive rod, producing lipase in the medium comprised of 40% (v/v) solvents viz. benzene, methanol, butanol, acetone, isooctane, toluene and xylene. The log P value of all these solvents is less than 2.5. In spite of this lower log P value, the potential of lipase persists for 72 h in the presence of these organic solvents. As per our knowledge scanty reports in the literature so far are that of the solvents with log P values lower than 2.5. The isolate showed lipolytic activity at pH range of 6.0 to 9.0. Optimal lipase production was obtained at 352C under shaking condition. Effect of different oils (ground nut oil, cotton seed oil, castor oil, sun flower oil, olive oil) on lipase production was also checked. Maximum lipase production was 32.26 U/ml with groundnut oil. Effect of different metal ions was checked with Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Ba2+, EDTA, Ca2+ enhancing the lipase activity. While Na and Cu2+ has negative effect. <#LINE#> @ @ Soni K.D., Ester synthesis by lipase immobilized on silica and micro emulsion based organo gels (MBGs), Process Biochem,36(7), 607-611 (2001) @No $ @ @ Jaeger K.E. and Eggert T., Lipase for biotechnology, Curr.

Brassica species have competency to absorb and sequester Se and harness to manage environmental Se contamination via phytoremediation. All the test species of Brassica were found to respond to Se by registering changes in the expression of antioxidative enzymes, and tolerance level showed significant inhibition at higher concentration. The raised value of oxidative stress determinants - lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide, near 100M signified build up of stress at this concentration. Brassica rapa showed greater Se tolerance as was evident from the increased expression of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the treated plants, results corroborated with in gel assays for the enzymes, whereas little or no basal activity was found in the control plants. The positive tie-up between Se enhancement and GPX activity is suggestive for the existence of Se-dependent GPX despite the fact that most plant GPX studied so far have not been reported to require Se for their function. One noteworthy attribute of Brassica rapa PS66 and Toria have adequacy to transform inorganic Se to volatile forms, principally dimethylselenide (DMSe), which is 500-600 times less toxic than the available form of selenium in the environment, thus a prospect benefit for selenium phytoremediation. <#LINE#> @ @ Lu J. and Holmgren A., Selenoproteins, J.

The initial SSF trials were performed in 100 ml medium at shake flask level using 1% (w/v) ammonia fibre expansion (AFEX) pretreated Populus nigra leafy biomass. The optimized parameters for SSF process were, 2.0 ml recombinant xylanase (CtXyn30A), 2.0 ml recombinant Acetylxylan esterase (Axe2, 4.4 U/mg, 0.37 mg/ml), 4.6 U/mg, 0.31 mg/ml), 2.0 ml C. shehatae (~4.3 x 10 cells/ml), pH 6.5 and temperature 33C. On the basis of p-value (p 0.05), the three most significant factors were, the inoculum (C. shehatae) volume, temperature and pH. The optimized SSF conditions with 1% (w/v) pretreated biomass at flask level gave an ethanol titre of 1.06 g/l. The monosaccharide analysis of SSF exhibited the release of xylose from hydrolysed biomass. The increased biomass 5% (w/v), under optimized parameters gave an ethanol titre and yield of 6.10 g/l, 0.317 (g of ethanol/g of pretreated biomass) at flask level and its scale-up to 3l bioreactor level contributed ethanol titre of 7.10 g/l and yield 0.369 (g/g), respectively. <#LINE#> @ @ Zaldivar J., Nielson J. and Olsson L., Fuel ethanol production from lignocellulose: a challenge for metabolic engineering and process integration, Appl.

It has a bio-energy potential to fulfill the energy demand. Production of biogas using biomass is excellent solution in rural development technology to fulfill energy needs. Variety of regional lignocellulosic material is available whose biogas potential to be unexplored. Biogas production using lingocellulosic residues may improve energy availability, reduced the green house gases and pollution. Adaptation of small scale biogas digester could be the answer of solving these problems. The production of biogas mainly depends on available feedstock, carbon to nitrogen ratio and its other parameters. Bio energy potential of local agriculture waste or residues sample was studied by physical, chemical and thermal analysis. Chemical analysis of this agriculture waste showed less quantity of moisture, volatile solids and total solids, total nitrogen content while higher in and calorific values with carbohydrate content. On the other hand the chemical, physical, thermal treatment does improve neither the quality nor quantity of biogas by using agriculture residues as renewable source of energy. The present work is an attempt to study on the chemical analysis of agricultural waste with respect to its various parameters for biogas production to make an active feedstock. The paper also highlights the general presentation for design a small-scale biogas unit intended to be used for further analysis of screened materials for biogas production. <#LINE#> @ @ Fagundes M., Factors affecting the reduction of carbon to nitrogen ratio in composted separated solids, Dairy Science DepartmentCalifornia Polytechnic State University., San Luis Obispo, (2012) @No $ @ @ Gupta HS and Dadlani M, A report Crop Residues Management with Conservation Agriculture Potential Constraints and Policy Needs, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI)., New Delhi, India, 3-9 (2012) @No $ @ @ Himanen M and Hnninen K, Composting of bio-waste aerobic and anaerobic sludge'sEffect of feedstock on the process and quality of compost, Bio resource Technology., 102(3), (2011) @No $ @ @ Karthik Rajendran., Solmaz Aslanzadeh and Mohammad J.

The work involved identifying the headlight and windshield of the glass obtained during a hit and run case. Experimental analysis like thermal properties, density, refractive index, infrared spectroscopic studies, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy measurements were conducted on the glass pieces obtained from the site. The observations revealed that the glass pieces collected were from the headlight and the windshield of the glass. This could be concluded because of the overlapping results obtained from almost all the studies conducted. Also both the glasses were found to contain almost same elements. Only the composition was differing and the configuring elements also differed. The variation in the composition gives more strength to the windshield glass as compared to the headlight glass. <#LINE#> @ @ Tryhorn F.G., Examination of Glass, J. Crimi. L.

Pesticides could allot to the components of the environment, such as water, sediment, and accumulate in the biota. The side effects of pesticides could be serious and chronic. In this study, we have investigated the levels of selected pesticides such as DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane) and Endosulphan in surface waters, sediment and fish samples by gas chromatography of the Mahi river of Vadodara, India which was passed out in several periods from 8 pre-determined positions. Organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) concentration level in sediment is pointedly different from that of water and fish tissue, which had the maximum residual concentration. Detected pesticide residues are generally higher than specific limit of 0.01 g/l by USEPA for pesticides of aquatic life-cycle; therefore, possess an ecological risk to the ecosystem and consequently human health. <#LINE#> @ @ Erkmen B., Yerli S.V., Erkakan F. and Kolankaya D., Persistent organochlorine pesticide residues in water and sediment samples from Lake Manyas, Turkey, Journal of Environmental Biology, 34,171-176 (2013) @No $ @ @ WangY., WuW.J., HeW., QinN., He Q.S. and Xu F.L., Residues and ecological risks of organochlorine pesticides in Lake Small Baiyangdian, North China, Environ Assess, 185, 917-929 (2013) @No $ @ @ Pazou E.Y.A., Aleodjrodo P.E., Azehoun J.P., Straalen N.

Crossprovidone, Crosscarmellose Sodium, Sodium Starch Glycolate and Low-Substituted Hydroxypropylcellulose were used as synthetic super disintegrants from synthetic form. Fenugreek Mucilage and Plantago Ovata Mucilage were used as super disintegrants from natural source. Tablets were prepared by direct compression method and the formulation of tablets was optimized to get minimum disintegration time and maximum drug release. From in vitro dissolution and drug release studies, Crosscarmellose Sodium was found to be the best superdisintegrant at all concentrations as it showed maximum drug release; while Low substituted Hydroxypropylcellulose was found to be the poor superdisintegrant with least drug release. Plantago Ovata Mucilage and Fenugreek Mucilage were found to be better super disintegrant than L-Hydroxypropylcellulose, but poor than Crosscarmellose Sodium, Crossprovidone and Sodium Starch Glycolate. <#LINE#> @ @ Biradar S , et.al., Fast Dissolving Drug Delivery Systems: A Brief Overview, The Internet J. of Pharmacology.(4), 2, (2006) @No $ @ @ Sharma S., New generation of tablet: fast dissolving tablet, Pharmainfo.net., 6(1), (2008) @No $ @ @ Drug Index, Passi Publications (p) Limitation Delhi, 161, (2003) @No $ @ @ Kornblum SS, et.al., A new tablet disintegrating agent: crosslinked Polyvinylpyrrolidone, J PharmSci, (62), 4349, (1973) @No $ @ @ Rudnic EM, et.al., Studies of the utility of cross linked polyvinyl pyrrolidine as tablet disintegrant, Drug Dev Ind Pharm, (6), 291309, (1980) @No $ @ @ Botzolakis JE, et.al., Disintegrating agents in hard gelatin capsules.

The teacher bears the responsibility of developing scientific attitude among students. Without scientific attitude aims of science cannot be attained. Scientific attitude, now days, is found to be lacking even in highly educated persons, teachers and students. This is a hindrance in the path of acquiring knowledge. The teachers and students need to have a scientific outlook. This study investigated the scientific attitude among pre service students. The survey research design was used to carry out the study. A sample of 300 pre service students from Erode district of Tamil Nadu. Samples were selected using stratified random sampling technique. In this study the investigator used by the scientific attitude scale was standardized by Sood, J.K. and Sanadhya, R.P.. The collected data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation and t-test. It was revealed from the study that there are significant differences in the level of scientific attitude among pre service teachers based on gender and subject group of the students and not significantly influenced by locality and age of the students. <#LINE#> @ @ Fitz Patrick F.L., Policies of science education; New York; Bureau of publications, Teachers college, Columbia University press (1960) @No $ @ @ Henry Nelson B.

Nuclear weapons are an essential part of Indias national security and will remain so, until non-discriminatory and global nuclear disarmament. Iran insists that it only intends to develop its nuclear programme for peaceful purposes, but the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) claims that it has not been able to verify the countrys claims. Iranian nuclear issue came into the international attention in August 2002, when the existence of the Natanz uranium enrichment plant was exposed by an Iranian opposition group. India voted against Iranian Nuclear issue in IAEA which in long run hampered latters relation with India. Recently, the signs of nuclear deal with US ended the draconian sanctions on Iran and boosted her confidence to the heights and gave the latter an edge in the region. If Iran continues on its current path, Iran will be a nuclear state within near future and it is very close to be called a power hub of Central Asia due to its energy rich resources, strong military and strategic developments <#LINE#> @ @ Nehru Jawaharlal, India's Foreign Policy, selected speeches, September 1946-September 1961, the Publications Davison, Ministry Of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, Delhi, 84, (1961) @No $ @ @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/treaty_on_the_non_proliferation_of_nuclear_weapons (2015) @No $ @ @ Oliver Thranert, Iran the bomb and the future of Nuclear Non-Proliferation, in E., Whitlock (ed.), Iran and its Neighbours: Diverging views on a Strategic Region, Stiftung Wissenschaft and Politik German Institute International and Security Affairs, Berlin, 42-52, (2003) @No $ @ @ Samuel S. and Rajiv C., In Pursuit of a Chimera: Nuclear Imbroglio between Sanctions and Engagement, Strategic Analysis, 36(6), 911929 (2012) @No $ @ @ Chansoria Monika, Iranian Nuclear Policy: a Historical Overview, in Anwar Alam (ed.), Iran and Post-9/11 World Order, New Century Publications, Ansari Road Daryaganj, New Delhi-110002, 14, (2009) @No $ @ @ Bansal Alok, Iran: Its Strategic Importance, Strategic Analysis, 36(6), 848858, (2012) @No $ @ @ Asian Clearing Union', at http://www.rbi.org.in /scripts/FAQview.aspxx?Id=50.
