District, Maharashtra
B.P.Bhaskar*, Tapas Bhattacharyya, S.K.Singh, S.S.Gaikwad and S.V.Bobade
Division of Soil Resource Studies, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, Amravati road, Nagpur, INDIA
Abstract: The development of landscape adaptive cotton based systems in Hot Semi-Arid Eco-Region of Yavatmal district
under Deccan plateau of Western Maharashtra have generated interest in identifying agroecological limitations for enhancing
cotton productivity and evaluation of soil resource information on 1:50000scale. Thirteen landforms were identified and
estimated area under each land form with the dominance of plateaus (29.3% of total area) in association with pediplains (28.8
per cent), isolated hills, mesas / butte / escarpments (17.7 per cent), and plains (8.1 per cent) in south western parts of the
district. Thirty three soil series classified under the subgroups of Vertisols (16), Inceptisols (12 ) and Entisols(%) were further
grouped as twenty six series on basaltic, four series on limestone (Chanoda, Wanjari, Wanodi and Sindola), two series on
sandstone (Wani and Selodi) and one series on granite (Korta). Fourty eight soil mapping units were designed to generate soil
series association map with dominant association of Lakhi- rock outcrops and Moho series on plateaus and escarpments
(13.43% of total area) and Lakhi – Borgaon - Arni - Waghari series association on moderately sloping hills (7.55% of area).
Based on FAO land evaluation method, only 25.04 per cent arable land was estimated as suitable for cotton - sorghum wheat – soybean combinations (25.04%) on deep vertic clay soils (12.01% of area) and in gravelly clay top soils with hard
root restricting layers and deep vertic properties(23.1 % of area) and shallow gravelly clay top soils with hard root restricting
layers (19.17 % of area). Numerical technique was used to arrive five homogenous soil management groups and estimated
nutrient recommendations to attain target yield of 15q/ha of cotton varying from 123kg/ha N for soils of hills/ridges to
142kg/ha N for soils on pediplains and valleys whereas 64 kg/ha P2O5 for soils on pediplains to 83kg/ha P2O5for interveining
valleys and 51kg/ha K2O for soils on valleys to 69 kg/ha K2O for soils on plateaus and lower pediplains in the region. The
agronomic interpretation of a given soil cover was possible through establishment of relation between soil – crop productivity
and by deriving homogenous soil groups that requires same set of agrotechnologies.

Abstract : This research was aimed to estimate the carbon stocks of above ground biomass (AGB) in Lesio-louna forest in
Republic of Congo. The methodology of Allometric equations of Chave et al. (2005) was used to measure the carbon stock of
Lesio-louna natural forest. We are based precisely on the model II which is also called non-destructive method or indirect
method of measuring carbon stock (Chave et al. 2005). While there has been use of parameters such as the Diameter at Breast
Height (DBH) and ρ = 0.05 g cm-3. The research was done with six circular plots each 1256m2, with a distance of 100m
between each plot, depending on the topography of the site of the installation of these plots. The six studied plots are divided
in two sites, which are: Iboubikro and Ngambali. Thus in the six plots, there are three plots in Iboubikro site and three plots in
Ngambali site. The results of this study show that the average carbon stock of above ground biomass (AGB) in six plots is
170 673 t C / ha. So, the average of carbon stock of above ground biomass (ABG) in Iboubikro site is 204,693 t C / ha and in
the Ngambali site is 136,652 t C / ha. In this forest ecosystem, the high stock of carbon was obtained in plot3, which is in the
Iboubikro site. The Plot3 contains 20 trees and an average DBH of 24.56 cm. However, the lowest carbon stock is obtained in
plot4, which is in the Ngambali site. Also, Plot4 contains 11 trees and an average DBH of 31.86 cm. The results of this
research indicate that, the forests in the study area are an important carbon reservoir, and they can also play a key role in
mitigating of climate change. However, Lesio-louna tropical forests have a capacity to trap vast amounts of carbon which
would otherwise escape into the atmosphere as CO2, one of the worst greenhouse gases (GHG) offenders.
Keywords: Carbon stock; Allometric equation; Ngambali; Iboubikro; Lesio-louna forest; above ground biomass.

Isolation and characterization of auxotrophic mutants of Trichoderma harzianum
having improved bio-control activity
Girase Manisha Shantilal
Department of Microbiology, K. S. K. W. Arts, Commerce and Science College, CIDCO, Nashik.422008 Maharashtra, INDIA
Abstract: Auxotrophic mutants of Trichoderma harzianum were obtained by exposing spores to UV light of 254 nm
wavelength. Separation of auxotrophs was done by using minimal medium and filtration of germinated prototrophs. Using
replica plate technique colonies from complete medium were transferred to minimal medium and auxotrophs were identified
as colonies showing growth on complete medium and failed to grow on minimal medium. Characterization of auxotrophs
was done with respect to checking enzyme activities, identification of auxotrophy for particular amino acid, purines and
pyrimidines and checking the effect of mutants on germination and growth of plant pathogens Rhizoctonia solanii,
Sclerotium rolfsii, Fusarium oxysporum. Aux-2 and Aux-3 mutants were auxotrophic for Methionine and Histidine
respectively. Aux-2 deficient in amylase production, showing enhanced production of cellulase and yellow coloured
diffusible metabolite than parental strain. Aux-2 can inhibit germination inhibition of Rhizoctonia solanii, Sclerotium rolfsii
and Fusarium oxysporum 86%, 70% and 75% respectively. Thus auxotrophic mutant can be better bio-control agent than
parental strain.
Key words: Bio-control agent, Germination inhibition, antifungal activity, hyperparasite

Impact of seed eight on germination parameters of Calophyllum Inophyllum L.: A
potential biodiesel tree species of coastal region
Vikas Kumar1, Ajeesh R.2, Jijeesh C.M.3 and Vidyasagaran K.4
College of Forestry, Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur, Kerala- 680656 (India)
Abstract: Present investigation was carried out to assess the variation in seed attributes, biochemical composition and
germination of Calophyllum inophyllum due to seed weight. The fruits were obtained from the Coastal areas of
Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala during May-June 2012. Prominent size variation was observed in among the fruits of the same
lot and the seeds were extracted after drying. The seeds were graded size classes 2-5 (small), 5-8 (medium) and 8-11 g (large)
based on their weight. The number of fruits per kg was 116, 167 and 262 for large, medium and small size class respectively.
Individual seed characters like length, breadth, volume and density increased with increase in size class but not the specific
gravity. The biochemical constituents also were higher in seeds of large size class followed medium and small classes.
However, the germination parameters were the highest in medium sized seeds. Hence, the medium sized seed can be
advocated for planting stock production in the nursery followed by large seeds and small seeds can be discarded.
Keywords: Seed size, seed weight, specific gravity and Calophyllum inophyllum

Abstract: The present effort was undertaken to study the influence of acetone extractives of bark of Oroxylumindicumon the
cocoon characters; silk filament characters and esterase enzyme activity of silk worm Bombyxmori(L.) (Race: PM x CSR2).
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. Soon
after the fourth moult, the fifth instar larvae were grouped into 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 48 hours after the fourth
moult. The larvae were maintained through standard schedule. 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 ofO.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). There was a gradual increase in the silk yield with an increase in the
concentrations of bark extracts O. indicumfrom 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm concentration of Oroxylumindicum (L). Efficient
use of acetone extractives of Oroxylumindicum (L) may open a new avenue in the silk yield.

Organic Farming: Studies on Effect of Eco Friendly Rhizobium Biofertilizer
Inoculation on Grain Yield of Green Gram and Black Gram
Anita Dubey
Govt. M. L. B. College Bhopal MP, INDIA
Abstract: In India there is a decline in crop productivity and farmer’s profitability due to the excessive application of
agrochemicals. Population is increasing continuously therefore it is urgency to enhance per capita crop production but there is
a need to protect our ecological system also. It was reported that long term sustainability of crop production depends on
maintenance of soil fertility. Experiencing the adverse effects of synthetic fertilizers the concept of organic farming is gaining
importance. India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world. Research needs to be conducted for
determining the effect of biofertilizers efficacy on the grain yield. The response of seed inoculation with Rhizobium culture
on grain yield of green gram and black gram was studied. The relative yield performance of organic and conventional
farming systems was also studied to compare them. For assessing the response of green gram and black gram to seed
inoculation with Rhizobium culture, a pot culture experiment was conducted under natural conditions. The plants were sown
by using ten seeds per pot and 5 kg of the soil was added in each pot. Nitrogen fertilizer(33.3g per pot) was applied in the
form of diammonium phosphate (DAP). For seed inoculation, seeds were coated with paste of Rhizobium inoculums and
sown in pots. Rhizobial inoculation was found to be more effective and give positive effect on grain yield.
Keywords: Productivity biofertilizers, Rhizobium inoculation, organic farming

Abstract: Poecilia reticulata, commonly known as guppy, is an introduced species in the Philippines which is a native of
Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, and the Caribbean Islands. The principal objective of this study is to describe the variations in
morphology of the species and identify its sexually dimorphic traits using Geometric Morphometric Analysis. A total of 60
(30 males and 30 females) specimens were analyzed and fourteen (14) landmark points were digitized in each sample.
Relative Warp Analysis (RWA) was used and scores were subjected to PAST software to determine the substantial variance
between body shapes and sexual dimorphism of P. reticulata. The result showed significant variance between body shapes of
the sexes with females exhibiting wider dentary, along with bloated abdomen while male exhibit more elongated jaw and tail
regions. With the results derived, sexual dimorphism of P. reticulata with the variation of its morphological structure is
determined through Geometric Morphometrics.
Keywords: Geometric Morphometrics, Poecilia reticulata, Relative Warp Analysis (RWA), sexual dimorphism.

Abstract: This study was conducted to identify the intra-specific variations and the possible sexual dimorphism of
Leiopotheraponplumbeus, locally known as “Ayungin”, an endemic fish species in the Philippines and naturally occurring in
freshwaters. A total of 159 specimens were gathered from Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. Thirty males and thirty females were
subjected to analysis using Geometric Morphometrics. Relative Warp Analysis was used to determine the variations of the
body shapes of both male and female Leiopotheraponplumbeus. Results of relative warps show prominent variations in the
head and caudal region. Statistical results were generated using Discriminant Function Analysis and Kruskal-Wallis Test of
PAST software. The results of both DFA and Kruskal-Wallis Test showed no significant difference between the body
structures of male and female samples of Leiopotheraponplumbeus. Therefore, the population of Silver perch in Lake Sebu
do not exhibit sexual dimorphism hence both sexes evolved the same manner.

Ecology, Diversity, and Abundance of Macrobenthic Crustaceans in Cochin
Estuary, India
P.N. Geetha and S. Bijoy Nandan
Department of Marine Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry, School of Marine Sciences, Cochin University of Science
and Technology, Cochin 682016, INDIA
Abstract: Crustaceans that filter plankton or bacteria from the water are common and diversified in estuarine environments.
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,
abundance, and distribution of macrobenthic crustaceans in the Cochin estuary on the southwest coast of India. Samples from
nine stations in the estuary were collected between June 2009 and May 2011. 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

Abstract: Assessing the variation in shape between sexes of a given species has always been an important mean in
understanding their behavior, differences and all the other principles underlying between them. Due to the growing
technological advances of science, studying variations on the shape between male and female has been made available. In
this regard, the study of qualitative and quantitative morphological variation in relation to scale shape morphology has been
used to study intra- and interspecific variations between established body regions of the male and female Trimac
(Amphilophus trimaculatus) fish. Herein, variations among scale shape morphology of the two sexes of Trimac fish has
been quantified and visualized using the geometric morphometric approach particularly the Relative Warp analysis (RWA)
tool. Result showed great variation in scales between two sexes with female having wider scales compared to male in the left
lateral to right lateral tip. Discriminant/Hotelling test also revealed their significance by having the value of (p<0.05). Indeed,
relative warp analysis is an efficient tool for the existence in variation of scale shape morphology of Trimac fish.

Abstract: This study aims to compare the relative warps using the scales of the Red Hybrid Tilapia from its parent Nile
Tilapia. A total of 360 scales were removed from 6 distinct regions of the fish body. The scales were then prepared,
mounted, photographed and processed in TPS package software version 5.0 and undergone landmarking. Data showed that
there is a high significant difference between the parent, Nile Tilapia and offspring, Red Hybrid Tilapia. Though Red Hybrid
Tilapia was a product of two different species namely Oreochromisniloticusand Oreochromismossambicus, Relative Warp
Analysis showed high significant difference to one of its parent Oreochromisniloticus.Discriminant tests also showed very
high significant difference of the two species. This further suggests that though the two species is significantly different in
color they may produce a significant difference based on their scale shape morphological structure.

Abstract: A study on sexual dimorphism of Sundathelphusa philippina was conducted using geometric morphometric
methods. Sundathelphusa philippina, locally known as ‘kagang’, is a crab species found in the freshwaters of Lake Sebu
specifically in the Seven Falls, which is the outlet of the lake’s water. It is a rarely-studied species with only a few, and close
to none, literature available, which pushed the researchers to pursue the study on this species. 73 (male=39, female=34)
samples which were acquired from Seven Falls, Lake Sebu were subjected to geometric morphometric analysis. The pattern
of the crab’s dorsal carapace was quantified and analysed using Relative Warp Analysis (Rohlf, 2008) which revealed
differences in the anterolateral teeth, and posterolateral regions. Statistical analyses of scores were done using Canonical
Variance Analysis (CVA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) of the PAST
software (Hammer et al., 2009) revealing concurrent significant results. MANOVA unveiled that the crabs are sexually
dimorphic with a Wilk’s lambda of 0.07613, a Pillai trace of 0.2387, and a P-Value of 0.002284. Thus, the male and female
S. philippina are significantly sexually dimorphic due to sexual roles during reproduction: the females being the carrier of the
eggs, and the males being the defenders against predators or other male crabs.

Abstract: Lake Sebu is known to be one of the most important watersheds in the country. Many aquatic species are living in
the area; one of them is the Channastriata, commonly known as the snakehead murrel. The results of the study will provide
information about the nature of sexual dimorphism in the organism, as well as for making morphological comparisons within
and between sexes and individuals. Landmark-based geometric morphometrics were used to describe the shape of snakehead
fish Channastriata. Fish were collected, photographed, sexed, and processed in the package software of TPS and undergone
landmarking. Hotelling’s t-squared applied and p value was calculated Based on the results of Relative Warp analysis,
variation in male (RW1 and RW2) and female (RW1 and RW2) occurred mostly in the dorsal region. These variations
suggest that there is a highly significant difference in the body shapes of male and female C. striata(p<<<0.05).

Images of the species were captured using Canon 1100 D and were further elucidated using landmark based Geometric
Morphometrics. Relative Warp Analysis show males with leaner bodies and lengthier caudal peduncle and gape length. In
contrast, females exhibit corpulent body outlines and curvatures in greater degrees. MANOVA unveiled that male and female
species were significantly dimorphic: Wilk’s lambda = 0.3358, Pillai trace = 0.6642 and p=4.648E-15. Thus, male and female

MSU-Gensan, General Santos City, 9500, Philippines
Abstract: This study was conducted to determine morphological variations in the shape of the wings between male and
female dragonfly which is Neurothemisterminata in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. Neurothemisterminata is a species of
Odonata which is widely distributed in the Philippine archipelago and the rest of the tropical countries. Dragonflies were
considered as ecological indicator since their presence indicate fresh water. Dragonflies are important in diminishing diseases
spread by mosquitoes since they feed on them. Male and female N. terminatawere determined based on the colors they
exhibit but in terms of morphology it is very difficult to classify them due to their great similarities in structure. This study
aims to find morphological variations in the wings of N. terminata. There were 60 specimens collected 30 males and 30
females and were prepared in the slide then photographed uniformly using Canon 1100D. Homologous morphological
structures between all specimens were picked out around the outline of the wings. Raw data were then examined using
multivariate methods of statistical analysis.Results of the analysis shows that most of the morphological differences in shape
and size occurs in the distal portion of the wings and also it suggest that female hindwings are wider than male hindwings.

Abstract: Fluorosis is a progressive degenerative disorder which is known to affect predominantly the skeletal systems, teeth
and also the structure and function of various organs like skeletal muscle,brain and spinal cord,ovaries and testies.However,
the effect of fluoride on genes is far from clear.The aim of present study is to examine the effects of fluoride on three genes
viz.,Caspases which plays a central role in execution phase of cell apoptosis; P53( Tumor protein ) which is a transcription
factor and is encoded in humans by TP53,which conserves stability by preventing mutation ;BCl2 ia a prototype for a family
of mammalian genes and the proteins they produce.They govern mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation and can be
either pro-apoptopic or anti apoptopic.Adult female albino mice of Swiss Strain weighing about 30 mgms were given a dose
of aqueous Sodium Fluoride 20 mgms per kg Bwt per day and maintained for 14 days.After DNA extraction quality check
and quantification was done.The results obtained for the Caspase gene under study did not vary for the normal and test mice,
we get the same size of amplified products for both the cases. The PCR products obtained were further sequenced and
matched but there were no differences in their sequences.In conclusion, our findings revealed that we need to elaborate our
study with more genes thats can be influenced and damaged by different forms of fluorine compounds. We assume may be
substantially more evident effect was caused by other fluoride compounds compared to simple fluoride ion released by
sodium fluoride.

Abstract: α-amylase inhibitor proteins have inculcated a considerable attention over the past few years on account of their
potential effect on the crop pest regarding their importance in natural defense. Their implications in natural protection
mechanisms proficiently can be exploited for the routine gene manipulation techniques; hence these genes have been
expressed in transgenic seeds to create resistance toward beetles and other insect pests of useful crops. For the wider selection
of gene pool, the present study was undertaken to screen four legume tree viz. Cassia tora, Cassia occidentalis, Cassia
floribunda, Crotalaria albida for their α-amylase inhibitor protein content and further used to purify and characterize αamylase inhibitor protein(s). The maximum α-amylase inhibitor activity in crude extract has been found in Cassia tora which
was 48.1units/gm. of seeds. The crude extract was then used to purify the α-amylase inhibitor protein(s). Heat treatment of
crude extract at 700C for 30 min increased the specific activity of amylase inhibition of Cassia species total seed protein.
Heat treatment of protein extract can confirmed the heat stable character of alpha amylase inhibitor of Cassia species. The
heat treated seed extracts were further subjected to ammonium sulphate (20-50%), fractionation, dialysis, gel filteration
through sephacryl S-200 and subsequently to ion exchange chromatography through DEAE-Sephadex A-50. After
purification steps maximum specific activity has been observed in Cassia occidentalis which was 160.00 units/mg protein
followed by Cassia tora. Out of four species of legumes Cassia tora and Cassia albida inhibitor proteins were found to be
multimeric, in Cassia occidentalis and Cassia floribunda were monomer.

Manisha Bhatkulkar and Amita Watkar
Jawaharlal Nehru Arts, Commerce and Science College, Wadi Dist Nagpur, INDIA
Abstract: Creatinine is normally formed by the muscles. It is formed in the body at a relatively constant rate. It is apparently
derived from the metabolism of the high-energy phosphate compound, phosphocreatine. Creatine is found abundantly in
muscle and is composed of amino acids: glycine, arginine and methionine. Creatinine is solely derived from creatine. Serum
creatinine values rise in renal failure. It is present in maximum amount in the striated muscle. Smaller amounts are found in
the smooth muscle, testes, liver and kidney. Creatinine is a waste material. This creatinine is readily excreted in the urine.
Creatinine excretion increases during pregnancy. In the present study the mean blood creatinine level was found to be in the
range of 0.60 – 1.2mg% in the male Rousettus.. The creatinine was found to be highest during September when the male was
approaching maturity. Similarly the mean ranges from creatinine in the female were noted to be 0.7 – 1.10 mg%. The higher
values were noted during January (mid-pregnancy). The objective of this present study is to investigate the relationship
between the reproductive status of the male and female and the Serum Creatinine values throughout the reproductive cycle.

University, Surat-395 001, Gujarat, INDIA
Abstract: Infection with toxin-producing Clostridium difficile strains is a common cause of diarrhoea. Clostridium difficile
presently has been identified as a causative agent of a spectrum of diseases referred to as Clostridium difficile Infections
(CDI). CDI can manifest 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 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 diarrhoeal 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 Systemetic Bacteriology, 2nd Edition (2001). 271 diarrhoeal stool samples from hospitalized patients
were investigated. Among these 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. Though the rate of
isolation of C. difficile was little lower than that reported in other Indian literatures, the present study shows that Clostridium
difficile is prevalent in the South Gujarat Region of the Gujarat state of India and it should be considered to be a cause of
antibiotic associated diarrhoea and found to be involved in causation of PMC too.

Abstract: In present scenario the quantitative and the qualitative deterioration of the nutritional value of stored food material
by the mycotoxins produced by the fungus render food unfit and hazardous for human consumption. Due to the various side
effects of synthetic fungicide there is an urgent need for the development of ecofriendly, environment friendly, safe natural
fungicide. Essential oils isolated from plants exhibit variety of biological activity and have potent pharmacological activity.
Alpinia malaccensis is a perennial medicinal plant belonging to the family Zingiberaceae is becoming a popular house plant
and is used to cure wounds and sores. Fresh leaves were subjected to Clevenger’s type apparatus for hydrodistillation to
isolate essential oil. The antifungal activity determination was evaluated by disc diffusion method against the three plant
pathogenic fungi viz; Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii and Sclerotinia solani. The minimum inhibitory concentration
(MIC) was evaluated by the micro broth dilution method. The essential oil exhibited significant inhibitory effects against the
growth of S. solani and S. rolfsii with a MIC values of 31.25 µg/ml and 61.5 µg/ml respectively. R. solani was moderately
suppressed by oil with the MIC of 125 µg/ml. Thus it may be concluded that A. malaccensis leaf essential oil might be used
as a potent antifungal agent after proper clinical trials.

Abstract: Spices are common food adjuncts, which have been used as flavoring, seasoning, and coloring agents and
sometimes as preservatives throughout the world for thousands of years. During recent years consumers have been more
concerned about the addition of synthetic additives to food and the two most commonly used antioxidants, butylated
hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), have shown DNA damage induction Therefore, there is an
increasing interest in natural food additives, such as spices or spice extracts, which can function as natural antioxidants
besides seasoning the food. They are known to possess a variety of antioxidant effects and properties. Natural antioxidants
are known to protect cells from damage induced by oxidative stress, which is generally considered to be a cause of aging,
degenerative diseases, and cancer. The mountainous state of Uttarakhand is endowed with a rich variety of medicinal plants,
many of which are in great demand. Coriander belonging to family Umbelliferae is an herb that is widely cultivated in India
and possessing nutritional as well as medicinal properties is amongst the most commonly used spices. Four different
genotypes of Coriander were collected from Vegetable Research Centre, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand namely Pant haritana, PD21, PD-51 and UD-643. The present investigation was performed to evaluate the antioxidant power of different genotypes of
Coriander via two methods namely DPPH free radical scavenging activity and superoxide radical scavenging activity. All the

Govt Dungar College (A-Grade), MGS University, Bikaner 334 003
Abstract: The best possible solution of the most alarming problem of Fossils Fuel is the production of Biodiesel and its
utilization with conventional diesel in various blending ratio. Environmental benefits like biodegradability, natural,
renewable source of energy, safely storage, better emissions etc is making Biodiesel more interesting for all the researchers in
present scenario. Since India is deficient in edible oils, therefore, the non-edible oil like Karanjia, Jatropha, etc. could be the
desirable source for India for production of bio-diesel. In Indian perspective most of the large scale production of biodiesel
have been carried out by IOC. But so far in Western Rajasthan no such unit has been developed. A lot of research available
on the issues and problems related with fuel resources. Most of the time, the origins of these problems could be traced to the
oil’s high viscosity, low volatility, and reactivity due to unsaturated double bonds. These problems were more pronounced in
direct-injection engines compared to precombustion (indirect injection) engines .The most common observation was that of
injector coking, which eventually led to improper fuel atomization and decrease in combustion efficiency. Bikaner is famous
for its food industries particularly Bhujia, Papad and sweets since years. Lot of waste industrial oil is obtained everyday. In
the present research a method has been developed for the preparation of biodiesel using the principles of Green chemistry
from this waste industrial oil. Biodiesel is defined as the monoalkyl ester of long chain fatty acid derived from a renewable
feedstock. Characteristic properties of biodiesel such as kinematic viscosity, cetane number, heating value, cloud point,
density, pour point and flash point have been determined. Parameters with respect to different blends have also been
determined. It has been observed that at 15 to 20 % blend better results are obtained.

Abstract: The healthcare industry is predicted to receive the first significant benefit of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has
the potential to revolutionize healthcare for the next generation through the three key areas: Diagnosis, Prevention and
Treatment. Recent advances in nanotechnology have lead to the development of the new field of nanomedicine which
includes many applications of nanomaterials and nanodevices for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The same physical and
chemical properties that make nanomaterials so attractive may be associated with their potentially calamitous effect on cell
and tissues. The driving force behind the significant benefit of nanotechnology is that biological structures are within the size
scale that researchers are now able to manipulate and control. Investigators are looking to nanotechnology to develop highly
sensitive disease detectors, drug delivery systems that only target the disease and not the surrounding healthy tissues. At a
cellular level, cancers are usually quite different from normal tissues. Many cancer cells actually change the chemicals on
their surface, so are easy to identify. Most of the cells grow faster or change shape. Every cancer involves a genetic change
that causes a difference in the chemicals inside the cell. This review discusses the development of new therapies related to
cancer detection, analysis, diagnosis and treatment. Stress were also given on nanoanalytical methods and nanodevices such
as dendrimers, quantum dots, cantilevers, SPIO, CNT devices, nanobots employed in cancer therapy.

Boric acid catalyzed efficient synthesis of dipyrromethanes in water
Pratibha Kumari
DB College, Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi, Delhi, INDIA-110007
Abstract: Dipyrromethanes are important precursors for the synthesis of various functional porphyrinoids, linear
porphyrinoid arrays and expanded porphyrinoids. The condensation of aldehydes with excess of pyrrole in presence of
different acids such as trifluoroacetic acid, BF3-etherate, p-toluene sulphonic acid and acetic acid or metal triflates in organic
solvents or in the absence of any other solvent yield meso-substituted dipyrromethanes along with oligomeric by-products.
The major disadvantages of above methods are the requirement of large amounts of pyrrole, corrosive acidic catalyst and the
use of chlorinated solvents. The organic reaction in aqueous solution is an important area of current research interests
including green chemistry. The use of boric acid in aqueous solution has not been used in the synthesis of dipyrromethanes.
Herein, we report the condensation of pyrrole with aldehydes using boric acid as catalyst in water to afford the corresponding
dipyrromethanes in high yields. The present method is green and efficient for the synthesis of dipyrromethanes using only
two equivalents of pyrrole and avoiding the use of chlorinated solvents as well as corrosive acidic catalyst.

001 (Gujarat), INDIA
Abstract: Energy conservation in the area of textile wet processing is much more prominent than various other sections of
textile manufacture. There are numerous opportunities to make wet processing efficient and thus conserve energy. Dyeing
industry consumes considerable amounts of water and thermal energy – both these commodities are rapidly becoming
expensive day by day. Lowering the temperature of dyeing and shortening of the processing time can lead to the conservation
of energy. This has been achieved by various methods, such as graft polymerization, redox system, solvent dyeing etc.
Solvent assisted dyeing of various textile fibres such as cotton, wool, silk, nylon, polyester, etc. have shown improved dyeing
performance. In the present work, solvent treatment is considered as a measure to conserve energy by lowering down the
temperature as well as the time during dyeing of silk with metal-complex acid dyes. The solvent used for the study is
acetophenone. Commercial metal complex acid dyes have been applied on the solvent pretreated silk substrates at different
dyeing temperatures, ranging from room temperature to 70o C and the results compared with conventionally dyed samples, in
terms of colour strength values and fastness properties of the dyed samples. The solvent treatment not only aids in reducing
the dyeing time and temperature but also retains the aesthetic values associated with silk fibre.

An Efficient Live VM Migration Technique in Clustered Datacenters
Kumar Narander and Saxena Swati
Department of Computer Science, B. B. A. University (A Central University), Lucknow, UP, INDIA
Abstract: The essence of cloud computing comes from the concept of virtualization. It is a technique of implementing
numerous virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical machine that share the memory and CPU resources of the host.
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 technique to transferring a
running virtual machine from a source host to a destination host.

Abstract: Entry and popularization of computers in the living world posed, that, they would revolutionize the modern day
office into an improved paperless office and will helpful to create greener atmosphere. To date computers have not been
successful in this matter. Infect in some cases paperwork has increased due to computers. Further use of computers has
increased the power consumption. Statistical models, particularly regression models are extremely useful devices for
extracting and understanding the essential features of a set of data. These models however are nearly always approximate
description of more complicated processes, and because of this inexactness the study of the variation in the results of as
analysis with minor modifications of the way the problem is formulated becomes important. Green computing is about
getting the most out of the computer while minimizing environmental effects by reduced electricity consumption and
emission of toxic chemicals while minimizing the cost of production. This paper describes the general principles of green
computing viz a viz methods by which power management is performed particularly during interdisciplinary sciences and
opens the doors for law students and constitutional mentors for policy making. In the present research estimation and analysis
of few metals in various samples of food and beverages has been carried out. The main motive is to propose a regression
model and to find influential point in the data, for this purpose OLS ( ordinary least square) method was applied to find the
regression model. Y = -0.073(0.138, R) – 0.685(0.192, A)x1 + 0.896 (0.161,A) x2 + 0.838 (0.133, A) x3 Where the bracketed
values indicates standard deviations. R means rejected value as statistically nonsignificant, A means accepted value as
statistically significant value. The model was described with the correlation coefficient 0.9986 and determination coefficient
as 99.72 % for individual estimation of hazardous metals like lead or cadmium. Experimental values regards the interference
provided by the lead during the estimation of cadmium is above the tolerance limit so we are now working for the
development of interference free regression model. But the present model provide satisfactory results for individual
estimations.

Abstract: This paper explores the neural network as an eye disease classifier. In this investigation, the sets of parameters
describing EEG data for eye states are taken. Thus the classification of eye status represented by the data sets becomes
possible. In this multi layer neural network and principal component based performance analysis is explored. Selection of the
optimal parameters such as number of hidden layers, learning rules and transfer functions are taken into consideration. The
classification results are obtained through rigorous experimentation. Diabetic retinopathy is an eye syndrome caused by the
impediment of diabetes and it can be detected prior for effective treatment. The vision of patient may start to deteriorate as
diabetes progresses and lead to diabetic retinopathy. In this paper to establish diabetic retinopathy, two models like multi
layer perception (MLP), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) are explained and their performances are compared. An
automated approach for classification of the disease diabetic retinopathy using images is presented. Levenberg Marquart back
propagation algorithm was implemented to train multilayer feed forward ANN. The designed classification structure has
about 99 % sensitivity, 100 % specifity and correct classification is calculated to be 99%. The performances are classified as
normal and diseased. Testing grades were found to be complaint with the accepted results that are imitative from the
physician’s direct diagnosis. The states results verify that the proposed method could point out the capability of design of a
new intelligent assistance diagnosis system. An ANN is generally robust, tolerant of faults and noise, able to generalize well
and capable of solving nonlinear problems by virtue of its parallel distribution. Artificial Neural network architecture can be
trained to classify eye disease according to patient complaints, symptoms and physical eye examination, then decision trees
to extract knowledge from trained neural networks in order to understand the knowledge represented by the trained network.

voltage and frequency when an additional load is switched on using frequency regulator. Asynchronous generator rating 480
V, 275 KVA is connected to a wind turbine .The wind turbine block uses a 2-D look up table to compute the turbine torque
(Tm) as a function of wind (WS) and turbine (TS) speed. The look up table graph between WS and WS gives mechanical
power (MP) .The Tm is obtained by dividing MP from WS. A step up transformer is used to increase the voltage of the
generator which is supplied to the grid .A secondary load bank is used to regulate a system frequency by absorbing the wind
power exceeding consumer demand. At t=0.5 s, the additional load of 25 kW is switched on. The frequency momentarily
drops to 49.85 Hz and the frequency regulator reacts to reduce the power absorbed by the secondary load in order to bring the
frequency back to 50 Hz. Voltage stays at 1 p.u and no flicker is observed. At 0.5 sec when the auxiliary load is switched on
the frequency drops and as a result a discrete frequency regulator block is used to maintain a constant frequency at 50 Hz
.The function of frequency controller uses a standard three phase locked loop (PLL) system to measure the system frequency.
The measured frequency is compared to the reference frequency (50Hz) to obtain the frequency error. This error is integrated
to obtain the phase error. In order to minimize voltage disturbances, switching is performed at zero crossing of voltage.

Institute of Mechanics and Machinery Manufacturing named after U.A. Dzholdasbekov, Almaty, Kazakhstan,
Abstract: The dynamics of vertical unbalanced gyroscope rotor with hard nonlinear resilient characteristics is considered.
For the purpose of investigation of rotor vibrations, its dynamic and mathematical model is constructed. The expressions of
rotor energy, potential energy of the resilient mounting, external couples as well as dissipation function of Rayleigh are
made. The motion equations are recorded as equations of Lagrange of the 2nd kind. The expressions of amplitude and phase
of the main harmonic component are expressed using expansion of solutions to the equations of expressed vibrations as well
as harmonic balance to the series of Fourier. The equations as variations, and then the equations of Hill type, are recorded to
study hardiness on the basis of motion equations. According to the theory of Floquet, these equations are solved, and the
stability criterion is found using the harmonic balance method. We concentrate on study of skewing influence, mass
imbalance, disk thickness, size of nonlinear characteristics of the resilient mounting as well as external buffering to amplitude
and phase and frequency characteristics as well as area boundaries of variability of the main resonance vibration. On the basis
of analysis of research results the particularities of dependencies of the amplitude and phase of the main resonance vibration
and instability region boundaries are accentuated and described from the angle between the imbalance lines, disk thickness,
external resistance and shaft speed without the hard nonlinear resilient characteristics of the rotor. They can be important for
development of optimal control of resonance vibrations, determination of optimal construction parameters, working speed
range and rotor balancing methods in the pre-design works. The main working expressions are presented in a compact and
non-dimensional form.

Abstract: This study discusses the opportunities to use CRAMM methodology to ensure financial information systems.
According to international statistics, the most common target of malware attacks are banks, their users of internet banking via
computer and smart phones. The highest number of phishing is located in the United States. The highest percentage of
infected computers is in China. The most common means of computer attack are trojans, viruses and worms, while the trojans
are dominant. Prevention and knowledge on protection is essential to avoid high losses. CRAMM system is used by hundreds
of public institutions and private businesses. Large scale risks arising from the misuse of financial systems are enormous.
Banking institutions must be protected from attacks. Similarly, firms using online accounting systems must protect
themselves against unwanted changes in system, but mainly targeted accidental leakage or deformation data. Protecting
sensitive data is very actual in central European region. Increasing number of attacks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia is
warning. Target of the attacks are the largest banks, mobile operators, news sites, Chamber of Executors, ministries and other
state institutions.

serve as a reinforcing durable overlay in road constructions
DR. SWAPAN KUMAR GHOSH
DEPARTMENT OF JUTE AND FIBRE TECHNOLOGY, 35, BALLYGUNGE CIRCULAR ROAD, KOLKATA-700019, WEST
BENGAL, INDIA
Abstract: Potential applications of different types of technical textiles in the field of Civil Engineering constructions is an
established phenomenon whereas natural fibre made geotextile remained comparatively subdued. Research on JGT has been
directed with the goal to meet not only the site-specific technical needs but also ensuring retention of its eco-congruity over
its man-made counterpart at the same time. Even though several varieties of Jute Geotextile (JGT) - both woven and
nonwoven have since been developed and used for a number of geotechnical end-uses but their uses are limited. Hence, it is
felt that there is an urgent need to design and develop precise fabric (combination of woven and nonwoven fabrics) as overlay
on existing pavements and other emerging civil engineering applications which will expand the use of Jute Geotextile
proving thereby its technical and economical competence in the global market. In order to accomplish the objective, the grey
jute paving fabric has been customized in a commercial jute mill and standardized with oriented specifications followed by
special type and grade of bitumen impregnation in a commercial bitumen treatment plant. The main focus of this study is the
assessment of the functional performance of the developed fabric which has been carried out by laboratory testing as well as
laboratory simulation testing of the physical, mechanical and endurance property parameters adopting international test
standards. This study has been jointly carried out by Department of Jute and Fibre Technology, University of Calcutta and
Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), New Delhi. A thorough investigation of the laboratory test results has been carried
out before field trials of the developed product under suitable conditions that can withstand the moving loads expected on
different categories of roads (e.g. State Highways, Major District Roads and Rural Roads etc.).

Department of Chemistry, Govt. V.Y.T. PG. Autonomous College, Durg, CG, 491001 INDIA
Abstract: The present research focuses on removal efficiency of super paramagnetic nano iron oxide loaded poly (styreneco-acrylic acid) hydrogel (super paramagnetic PSA hydrogel) for Zn2+ ions from aqueous solution by batch adsorption
technique. The influence of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, temperature and metal ion concentration on the sensitivity of
the removal process was inspected. The synthesized copolymer was magnetized insitu and the size, phase identification,
morphology and coating of magnetic nano particles were characterized by TEM, XRD, AFM and FTIR analysis respectively.
Out of various kinetic models proposed, the ‘pseudo-second-order’ seems to fit in the experimental data in the best way.
Kinetic parameters, rate constants, and related correlation coefficients and equilibrium sorption capacities for each kinetic
model were computed and discussed. Different thermodynamic parameters ∆G0, ∆H0 and ∆S0 have also been evaluated
which showed the sorption was spontaneous, attainable and exothermic in nature. The sorption data was analyzed and fitted
to linearized adsorption isotherm of the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin equations respectively. The uptake of Zn2+
followed Freundlich sorption isotherm better. The maximum percentage removal of Zn2+ ions (95%) was obtained at pH 7 in
120 min at room temperature (250C) and the adsorbent could be regenerated efficiently and used repeatedly for further
experiments.

Dept. of Energy and Environment, MGCGV Chitrakoot Satna MP, 485331, INDIA
Abstract: Deepawali is an important occasion celebrated every year during October or November in India. Large quantities
of fireworks are used during this festival. The use of fireworks during festive celebrations can cause acute short term air
pollution because fireworks contain chemicals such as potassium nitrates, potassium chlorate, potassium perchlorate,
charcoal, sulfur, manganese, sodium oxalate, aluminum and iron dust powder, strontium nitrate, and barium nitrate, etc.
These firecrackers when burnt can release various gaseous and particulate air pollutants and toxic metals to significant
quantity and degrades the air quality as a whole. Concentration of air pollutants particulate viz. PM10, PM2.5 and gaseous viz.
SO2 and NOx were monitored for four consecutive days during Deepawali in densely populated city Kanpur, 2013. The
concentration of particulate pollutants was recorded many times higher because after explosion dust removed from the settled
place. The result indicated the huge contribution of fireworks on the pollutant levels. Concentrations of metals like Ba, Cu,
Cd, Pb, Hg, Al was observed and these value were higher on Deepawali period compared to the previous day. The probable
health impact of this huge though short-lived pollutants deteriorate the ambient air quality and increase in relative health risk
in exposed individuals. Findings of particulate matter indicate that people with asthma or other respiratory disease are the
group most at risk. This paper suggests some controls on fireworks during festive celebrations.

The exhaust emissions from the combustion of biodiesel in neat as well as blended form result in reduction of tailpipe
emissions such as hydrocarbons, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur and several other toxicants in comparison to that
coming out from combustion of mineral diesel. Its usage makes a nation self reliant in the transport fuel to some extent. The
biodiesel industry can also provide employment in rural and urban sector to the people at large scale. Biodiesel that may be
called natural fuel, may be a good substitute for fossil fuel in future. Biodiesel can be produced from non edible oils like
Jatropha curcus, Pongamia pinnata, Madhuca indica, Gossypium arboreum, Simarouba glauca etc. Citrullus Colocynthis
schard (Thumba) oil is a native of India and on the basis of its characteristics, it can be a better source for the production of
biodiesel. Citrullus Colocynthis schard is a climber and grows wild in western part of Rajasthan (India) and is available in
plenty. Our study was focused on the collection of seeds, oil extraction and then its application fpr the synthesis of biodiesel
in laboratory. A molar ratio of methanol to oil 8:1, homogenous catalyst, KOH 0.75wt%, temperature 65o C, reaction time
90 min. provided the optimum results. The parameters were tested as per ASTM 6751 standards. The physical properties like
acid value, density, calorific value, flash point, fire point and moisture, viscosity of Thumba methyl ester (TME) were
0.42,0.870gm/cc, 37.00MJ/Kg, 1640c, 1720c and 0.02%, 4.78 Cst found. The process variables that influences the
transesterification rate of triglycerides, such as catalyst concentration, molar ratio of methanol to raw oil, reaction time,
reaction temperature, and free fatty acids content of raw oil in the reaction system were investigated and optimized. It was
concluded that TME may work as a sustainable feedstock for biodiesel production that is equivalent to fissile fuel as per
ASTM 6751.

EIA is taken up as a rapid assessment technique for evaluating the current status of the environment and identifying its
impact on different activities on environmental parameters. EIA typically refers to a process involving the systematic
identification and evaluation of the potential impacts of proposed projects, plans, programs, or policies on indicators of the
physical-chemical, biological (ecological), cultural, and socioeconomic components of the total environment. The ultimate
purpose of EIAs is to help reconcile environmental protection and sustainable development. Hence it is an important
management tool for ensuring optimal use of natural resources for sustainable development. It is thus a pre-cursor to detailed
analysis of environmental impacts, which are taken up only if a need for the same is established. The Ministry of
Environment and Forests (MoEF) of India has been in a great effort in Environmental Impact Assessment in India. The main
laws in action are The Water Act(1974), The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act (1972), The Air (Prevention and Control of
Pollution) Act (1981) and The Environment (Protection) Act (1986).

Abstracts: Sulfosulfuron [1-(4, 6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-3-(2-ethylsulfonylimadazo [1, 2-α] pyridin-3-yl) sulfonylurea]
is a post-emergence sulfonylurea group of herbicide used for the control of couch and brome grasses, cleavers and other
broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat. The continuous use of this herbicide year after year in wheat leads to the buildup of the
herbicide residues in soil that gradually leads to its leaching to underground water. The presence of this pesticide in ground
water has been reported by many workers. Leaching of the pesticide is a major concern worldwide, as ground water is a
prime source for drinking and irrigation in many countries. The present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of
different soil amendments including FYM (Farm Yard Manure), CS (Cereal Straw), FCD (Fresh Cow Dung), Gypsum and
PMC (Press Mud Compost), in reducing the leaching of sulfosulfuron to ground water under laboratory conditions. The study
was carried out by packing the columns with soils of different depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60cm) as under natural
conditions and performing the leaching process by allowing water to flow through the column at a constant flow rate for ten
days. Each day the leachate from the column was collected and the pesticide was extracted from it using QuEChERS method.
The concentration of the pesticide present in the leachate was estimated using HPLC.
It was found that FYM and CS were the most effective amendments that could reduce the leaching of sulfosulfuron to ground
water.

Abstracts: Jim Corbett National Park, in the foothills of Himalayas comprises astonishing variety of faunal and floral life
which makes one’s heart flutter and at the same time impart it spectacular landscape and an area of interest for biological and
ecological studies. Field and lab experiments were carried out to examine carbon stock and community structure in the
exosphere of Jim Corbett National Park. A systematic random sampling method, using quadrats, was used for vegetation
analysis and soil sampling. Soil was collected from each quadrat and analyzed for physical characteristics (colour, texture,
temperature, moisture content, soil pH) and chemical characteristics (organic carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus, and
potassium). Ten sites were covered to fulfill the required objectives. The soils from various study sites showed variation in
colour, texture, temperature, moisture content, pH value, electrical conductivity and bulk density. The basic soil texture was
sandy-loam in this part of the park. The Important Value Index (IVI) of Sal (Shorea robusta) came out higher than the other
plant species. The leaf-litter, herbs and grass biomass was found 4976.02 t/ha and the carbon content was 2338.72 Mg C/ha.
The above-ground sapling biomass in the forest was 1000 kg/ha; so the carbon content in above-ground sapling in the forests
was 0.47 Mg C ha-1. Dead wood biomass in natural forest was found to be 45,000 kg/ha. Thus, the carbon content in dead
wood in forest was 21.15 Mg C/ha. The soil organic carbon came out to be 1177.7 t/ha and carbon content was 553.51 Mg
C/ha. Above-ground tree biomass (AGTB) values were 5656.33 t/ha and carbon content was 2658.48 Mg C ha-1. As
expected, the major component of AGB was found in tree layer. Below-ground biomass (BGB) was estimated at 20% of
AGB. Thus, the BGB came out to be 1131.266 t/ha and carbon content was 531.696 Mg C/ha. The BGB carbon pool
consisted of the biomass contained within live roots. Total carbon stock calculated was 6104.026 Mg C/ha.

usage. 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 present study was carried out to assess the different levels of heavy metals like Iron, manganese, Copper,
Zinc and Nickel in vegetables / crops irrigated with waste water from different sources. The results indicated substantial build
up of heavy metals in vegetables / crops irrigated with sewage. The range of various metals in sewage irrigated plants was
116-378, 52-188, 6.1-28.9, 48-92, 8.3-30 µg/gm for iron, manganese, copper, zinc and nickel respectively. The highest mean
levels of iron and manganese were detected in mint and spinach whereas the highest levels of copper and zinc were highest in
carrot. The values of these metals were below the recommended maximum tolerable levels proposed by the FAO / WHO.
However, the regular monitoring of levels of these metals from the sewage in vegetables and in other food materials is
essential to prevent excessive buildup of these heavy metals in the food chain.

Abstract: Water is regarded as ‘polluted’ when it is changed in its quality or compositions, directly or indirectly as a result of
human activities, so that it becomes less suitable for drinking, as well as domestic and other purposes. Pollution of fresh
water results largely from the waste disposal. Many of our lakes are becoming increasingly murky, smelly and choked with
excessive growth of algae. Most of the rivers have become darkened with sewage, chemicals and other undesirable foreign
extraneous matter. Moreover, the rivers carry and deposit their pollutants in to the ocean. Hence, the oceans are also polluted
by toxic wastes which cause contamination of sea-foods on a large-scale. The present study has been made to analyze the
physicochemical parameters of the river Chnadrabhaga and . Every month samples were collected from sampling site for
analyzing the various physicochemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, TDS, Conductivity, DO, free CO2, Sulphate,
Phosphate , Nitrate, BOD, COD. The work highlights the condition of this river water in various seasons with respect to the
parameters mentioned above.

anthropogenic factors such as pollution put on pressures to organisms. These pressures directly affect the development of
organisms which may be observed in their morphological aspect. Furthermore, this study was conducted to describe the body
shapes within the three-spotted gourami, Trichopodus trichopterus species as well as to determine significant differences in
their morphological aspect as affected by environmental pressures. Twenty landmarks from images of 60 individuals (30 per
sex) were subjected to Relative Warp (RW) Analysis, Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), and Discriminant
Function Analysis (DFA)using Geometric Morphometrics. Results revealed significant sexual dimorphism among T.
trichopterus species which can be attributed to their varied reproductive roles. Morphological variations within sexes are
attributed as effects of environmental pressures.

PG (Environmental Engg) Programme, Department of Civil Engineering, BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, INDIA.
Abstract: The discharge of heavy metals into aquatic ecosystems has become a matter of concern in India over the last few
decades. These toxic heavy metals are generated from operations involved in mining, sludge disposal, refining ores, metal
plating, battery industries etc. An attempt was made to compare the effective removal efficiency of heavy metals such as
chromium (VI) and Nickel (II) from aqueous solutions using Parthenium hysterophorus as adsorbent. Batch adsorption
experiments were performed as a function of pH, contact time, solute concentration and adsorbent dosage. Maximum
removal of Cr (VI) was achieved at pH 3±0.5, whereas Ni (II) had an optimum pH of 5±0.2. At pH higher than 7±0.5 for both
metals precipitation occurred, due to this reason adsorption was not studied beyond pH of 7±0.5. The equilibrium time for Cr
(VI) and Ni (II) were found to be 165 and 180 minutes respectively. The removal efficiency for Cr (VI) and Ni (II) using
Parthenium hysterophorus powder as adsorbent are 80.43% and 81.54% respectively. The optimum dosage for maximum Cr
(VI) and Ni (II) are 4 g and 3.5 g respectively. Experimental equilibrium adsorption data were tested for the Langmuir and
Freundlich equations/isotherms but found that the Freundlich isotherm best fitted with experimental data for both Cr (VI) and
Ni (II). Kinetics of adsorption for both Cr (VI) and Ni (II) was found to follow Lagergren first order model.

Biotechnology Department, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, INDIA
Abstract: Streptococcus pneumonia is responsible for diseases including bacteraemia, meningitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, otitis,
sinusitis, arthritis, and pneumonia. The observation that pneumococcal when grown in an anaerobic atmosphere with 10%
CO2 produce characteristically large colonies ( Howden, 1976) called for a simple rapid confirmatory test; in this way a
precise report could be issued on the morning of isolation. Medicinal plants are of great importance to the health of individual
and communities. One of the more alarming recent trends in infectious disease has been the increasing frequency of
antimicrobial resistance among microbial pathogens causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Traditional
medicine has been an important source of products for developing countries in treating common infections. India has a long
history of traditional herbal medicine and its geographic position in the extreme north-west of Africa has favored a
development of a rich flora and biodiversity. Also, Moroccan medicinal plants are frequently used by the population to
prevent or cure gastrointestinal disorders, hair and skin care and bronchopulmonary and urinary systems (Bellakhdar et al.,
1991). In this study also will work Antimicrobial activity of Some Medicinal Plants against the Multiple Resistant of

Abstract: This study evaluating the craniofacial characteristics of Bangladeshi adults with class II malocclusion were studied
in order to frame cephalometric angular and linear measurements and to relate their mean differences with the established
values of class I Bangladeshi adults’ cephalometric norms. Fifty (50) standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs of
Bangladeshi adults including 25 males and 25 females with an average age of 20 years were studied. The conditions of
selection were Class II incisor relationship with or without crowding, no deformity, and no previous orthodontic treatment.
All cephalometric landmarks were located and determined and subsequently tracings were done to execute cephalometric
analysis. The results of the existing study revealed there is no statistically significant difference between the genders on all
measured values. Bangladeshi male showed larger values than those of the Bangladeshi females in most of the variables.
Mean values of cephalometric norms of Bangladeshi adults were very much different than the Class I malocclusion adults.
The reading should be kept in attention for this group separately. as it varies from the class I Malocclusion.

Abstract: Malaria is one of the most grievous public health problems worldwide. It is one of the prime causes of morbidity
and mortality in many developing countries especially in tropics. 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.

Practice of dowry and domestic violence
Priyanka Rawal and Jyoti Singh
Amity University, Noida UP, INDIA
Abstract: Marriage is a voluntary union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others but in relation to
this great institution, the problem of the "dowry" persists. Dowry is both a practice and a problem with Indian marriages; it is
a deep rooted social evil. The world has entered the new millennium but it is a harsh reality that the woman in India has long
been ill-treated in our society. She is deprived of her independent identity and is looked upon as a commodity. Recent studies
suggest a link between domestic violence and dowry demands. Forty cases of dowry related domestic violence were studied
here from western UP, India. Majority of women in the present study experiencing 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.

Malaria - The Resurgence of Deadly Diseases
Ansh Sharma
St. Joseph's Co-Ed School, E-6, Arera Colony, Bhopal, INDIA
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the dangerous diseases that are sweeping across the globe. In the
African countries, the situation becomes more prominent. Malaria, which is a leading cause of death in the African continent,
is yet another cause of concern for us. The following project provides introduction to various diseases that are very common
around the world, especially in the United Kingdom and the African countries. An in depth detail of the fatal disease malaria
is provided in the project. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that affects more than 500 million people annually, causing
between 1 and 3 million deaths. It is most common in tropical and subtropical climates and is found in 90 countries—but
90% of all cases are found in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most of its victims are children. The people should, therefore, be well
versed with the disease, its signs and symptoms (vectors, endemic regions, etc.), diagnosis (antigen detection, serology, drug
resistance test, etc.), biology, treatment (with proper dosage), and prevention. This research paper is instrumental in bringing
forward the various diagnostic and treatment methods, thus acting as a catalyser.

The Science of Empathy and the Spirit of Compassion in Natural Health – A review
Rashmi chandran
Naturalist, Founder and Chairperson, Natural Health and Environmental Research INDIA
Abstract: Compassion is important throughout our lives, from birth to death. We are not mere individuals, but we are all part
of a deeply interconnected, social mind, with huge potential significance for our future. Compassion is fundamentally a
human quality; so its development is not restricted to those who practice religion. Direct compassion for the suffering of
living beings is not an easy task to undertake as it presumes they want help or that it is being offered in a form which is useful
to them. We see that compassion is deeply rooted in our brains, our bodies, and in the most basic ways we communicate.
Each human being exists within the context of interrelationships that include other human beings, all living beings and the
natural world. In other words, each person is sustained by the interdependent web of life. By awakening to this principle we
are able to expand instinctive self-love into an altruistic love for others; we are able to nurture the spirit of tolerance and
empathy for others. The state of mind of one who ceaselessly strives to transcend this fundamental egocentrism is that of
inner peace and tranquility. The heart of such a person is lit with the wisdom of dependent origination, and overflows with
the spirit of compassion. Living a balanced life does require that you take the time for self-reflection, identify what's most
important to you and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Abstract: The growing children age is crucial to the development of child’s body, brain, in respect of educational and
psychological development. Their negative influences can have lifelong health effects. Excessive television viewing among
young children has been linked to negative impacts on early child brain development and life-long physical health. On the
other hand, repeated exposure to television can affect a child’s mental and emotional development that often takes place of
interactive experiences (for eg. play) that promotes healthy brain development. Increased exposure to advertisements for high
fat and sugar containing food leading to poor food choices. It was established that on an average approximate 20,000
commercials in each year a child is viewing. It was many times hypothesized that increased television viewing during meals
is associated with an increased consumption of food high in fat and sugar and a decreased consumption of fruits, vegetables
and milk that affecting child’s health and nutritional status. It was also hypothesized many times that television viewing is
associated with increased consumption of snacks that have negative impact on health and nutrition on children. The main
objectives of the paper to find status of excessive watching television impact on health and nutrition among children of
suburban town. The paper was prepared at Deva Sub-urban town of Barabanki district state Uttar Pradesh (India). A-100
families purposively selected that having the children 3-12 years of age. Their recorded views in face to face situation
through interview schedule method. The parameter used RDA and RDI, weight and height etc.. The main findings of the
paper were; the most-liked TV programme; 39% cartoon film followed by 34% film show, 10% educational programme, 9%
social serials, 5% others and least 3% news. The time spent on programmes was approx. 8 hours-39%, 6 hours-23%, 4 hours
14%, and 2 hours and less than two hours: 24%. The obesity status- 38% overweight or obese; 42% healthy and rest 20%
underweight. The intake of snacks and meal during watching TV was observed among 62% subjects not taking healthy food,
only 38% subjects intake healthy food. The liking of food; fast and junk food; 68%, milk 10% and rest 22% other food
items. Therefore, it was observed that approx. 68% subjects were found unbalanced and unhealthy nutritional status that were
watching excessive television programmes.

Abstract: Bamboo rice is an all- natural, short-grain, a slight jasmine green tea taste. The bamboo seeds were cleaned in
water and boiled like rice and consumed with fish curry and vegetable by indigenous people as a substitute of rice, the tribals
of North East India. Recently, a series of studies (very few) has initiated on the bamboo rice and its characterization to
elucidate the factors involved in dictating the quality of bamboo rice and to exploit the possible usage of bamboo rice in other
processed food products. But the detailed information on pasting properties of bamboo rice is not yet explored and still there
is a need to exploit the exact protocol for pasting property determination using RVA. Hence the present study was done to
determine the optimum sample concentration, starting and ending temperature of pasting profile and shear rate to suggest
RVA analysis method for determination of pasting properties of bamboo seeds. The RVA test procedure profile conditions
for bamboo rice flour in standard profile 1 (TCW software) in terms of shear rate (A), flour concentration (B) and initial/
final temperature (0C) was optimized using central composite rotatable design of response surface methodology. The center
point in five level factor for independent variables of A, B and C was 160 rpm, 4g flour concentration and 500C respectively.
The shear rate, starting and ending temperature had negative significant influence (p<0.01) on RVA viscosity parameters
while flour concentration showed positive significant effect (p<0.01) on RVA viscosity parameters. Interactively, flour
concentration and temperature suggested significant negative influence at p<0.05 and all determined RVA viscosity
parameters. On the basis of maximum peak and final viscosity, 123 rpm, as rotational speed of paddle, 3.9g as flour
concentration mixed in 25 ml of water (15.6%) and 32.3oC as starting and ending temperature in standard 1 profile of RVA
test procedure was considered as valid profile conditions for determinations of pasting properties of bamboo seeds.

Abstract: Advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry with one main goal: persuading people to buy products.Advertisers
present their products in the most appealing way by using celebrities to endorse a product. 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.

Abstract: The life of all professionals today is full of stress. Industrialization, urbanization, consummation culture are some
other reasons for rising stress. In the context of growing population, cultural transformation, and multiple roles that people
play, stress is an inescapable psychological phenomenon. Apart from the efforts to achieve success in entrepreneurship, a
professional has to face a magnitude of work related problems arising out of their varied roles in business. To the extent that
these professionals work demands and expectations exceed their abilities to perform as venture initiators, they are likely to
experience stress. In the present study, the impact of major work life stressors suffered by a sample of two hundred
professionals has been identified. Purposive random sampling technique was used with questionnaire as a tool for the present
survey. The results also suggested that nearly one-half of the sample experienced stress with regards to certain business
aspects namely; labour related, market related and finance related aspects of work. The study also investigated the stress
reduction techniques adopted by the respondent to overcome these work related stressors.

Abstract: Indonesia is the sixth largest mango-producing country with a production that totals to 3.5% of the world’s current
mango production, indicating that its mango production has a huge commercial prospect in the future. 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 quality and food safety and which
groups of consumers were willing to pay more and 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. This research
find out that 60 % consumers response is quality and 74 % is save for consumption if Origin Label exist in mango; the

University of Baroda, Vadodara
Abstract: Buildings have major environmental impacts over their life cycle. Hence, there is a need to design and construct a
green building which minimizes the issues related to environment deteriotion due to construction of buildings. A green
building uses less energy, water and natural resources. It generates less waste and provides a healthy living environment for
the occupants. The construction industry is a larger user of natural resources, therefore there is a need to design building with
low environmental impacts. Green buildings are upcoming concept and the need for present day construction industry, so as
to have sustainable development. It has been observed that Vadodara city has witnesses a remarkable growth in the
construction of commercial as well as residential sectors. The concept of green building has been more widely adopted in
commercial sectors rather than residential sectors. Hence, a study was conducted to find out the barriers faced by builders in
adopting green building concept in their construction of residential sectors and reasons for adopting the green building
concept. The data were gathered through a questionnaire from a sample of 75 builders through convenience sampling.
Descriptive and relational statistics was used for presenting results. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the
builders were middle aged and their professional association was the main source of information about green buildings. More
than one half of the builders had low extent of exposure to various sources of information. Environmental aspects were the
reason as stated by builders behind the adoption of green building design and construction. Majority of the builders faced
lack of technical knowledge of the project team, contractors and clerk and lack of interest in implementing green building
concept as high extent of barrier in adopting green building design and construction. Majority of the builders had somewhat
favourable opinion regarding green building. A significant relationship was found between reasons for adopting green
building design and construction by the builders and barriers faced by builders adoption of Green building concept. The
builders can be made aware through an educational programme given by the educational institution about the impact of the
buildings on the health of the occupants and to construct a building which incorporates features of green building.

Abstract: Breast milk not only the best but it is must for the Infant. Breast milk is a natural food for infant .Breast milk is the
only insurance for the security of the new born. Inadequate nutrition is an underlying cause of death of more than 2.6 Million
children and over 100,000 Mothers every year. keeping in view important of breast feeding the present study was conducted
with 100 rural mother of infant Loni village. Objective was asses the breastfeeding practices among rural mother . An
interview schedule was developed before collection of data. Background information about the family was recorded for each
mothers. Result revealed that 60% of the mothers had feed colostrums of their babies on the first day. The rest had discarded
it as the thought to be immature dirty milk and therefore harmful to their infant. The majority of the mother started breast
feeding their infant within 1-3 hour after the child birth.23% mother breastfeed between 1-2 day after delivery. Only 15 % of
the mothers breastfeed their infant within 3-5 days after the child birth and rest of mothers after 5 day. This study finding
revealed that majority of respondent had feed successfully after child birth.40% of subject had low knowledge level regarding
colostrums hence there is a need to create awareness about breastfeeding.

Abstract: Investigations of the development of environmentally friendly low cost solar cells with inexpensive semiconductor
materials are extremely important for development of solar energy technology. Among these Cuprous Oxide is non toxic and
its component elements are readily available and it has2 eV band gapenergy. Thereforecuprous oxideis considered to be a
material with a large potential from the viewpoint of its applications in photovoltaics and sensors. Grain size of
polycrystalline semiconductor thin films in solar cells can be optimized to enhance the efficiency of solar cells.In the present
study we have demonstrated the possibility to form photosensitive nanostructured copper oxide thin filmson Ti substrates
with large surface area by means of electrodeposition in copper acetate bath. Linear-sweep voltammetry was used to
determine the optimal deposition potential. These nanostructures were characterizedusing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), atomicforce microscopy (AFM) and photoelectrochemical techniques. In this investigation we
have demonstrated that polycrystalline n-type and p-type cuprous oxide thin films having small crystals of the size of 100 nm
could be electrodeposited. It can be seen on the SEM micrographs that grains evolve from irregular shape with average size
of ∼1 µm at pH 5.8 into a rectangular shape with average size of ∼100 nm at pH 7.9. This SEM and XRD data clearly
indicate that the grain size gradually decrease as the pH value of the solution increases from pH 5.8-7.9.

Abstract: Floating drug delivery system is one of the novel drug delivery system. Floating drug delivery system have a bulk
density less than gastric fluids and thus it remains buoyant in the stomach without affecting gastric emptying rate for a
prolonged period of time . Lansoprazole is proton pump inhibitor drug with short elimination half-life 1.5-3 hours. Floating
microspheres of Lansoprazole were prepared by Emulsion solvent evaporation method by using HPMC K4M, HPMCK15M,
HPMC K100M, Ethyl cellulose as polymers. The floating microspheres were evaluated for micromeritic properties, particle
size, percentage yield, in vitro buoyancy, incorporation efficiency, drug polymer compatibility (IR study), scanning electron
microscopy and in-vitro drug release. Results show that as the concentration of polymer increases it affects the particle size,
percentage yield, in-vitro buoyancy and in-vitro drug release of microspheres.it was also found that cumulative drug release
with different HPMC grade was found to be HPMC K4M≥HPMC K15M≥HPMC K100M. The micromeritic properties was
found to be good and scanning electron microscopy confirmed their hollow structure with smooth surface. Formulation F9
prepared with HPMC K100M: Ethyl cellulose exhibited excellent micromeritic properties, percentage yield, in vitro
buoyancy, incorporation efficiency and percentage drug release 94% for a period of 12 hrs. The data obtained in this study
thus suggest that floating microspheres of Lansoprazole are promising for sustained drug delivery, which can reduce dosing
frequency.

Abstract: Fast dissolving tablets are one type of solid dosage form that can dissolve and disintegrate quickly in the saliva
without administering with water. It is very convenient to administer especially for geriatric and pediatric patients. It is
convenient for patients who are travelling may face difficulty in access of water. Fast dissolving tablets can enhance the
disintegration and dissolution rate, thereby increase the bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. The role of disintegrants
in the design of fast dissolving drug delivery systems is discussed in this article. Superdisintegrants can be added in the
formulation to enhance the rate of disintegration. It can decrease the disintegration time so can increase the dissolution rate. It
can promote moisture penetration into the tablet matrix and cause dispersion of the tablet matrix. Swelling, wicking,
deformation, repulsive force, heat wetting and enzymatic action are the mechanisms of action of superdisintegrants.
Superdisintegrants can be classified into natural and synthetic. Examples for natural superdisintegrants are banana powder,
soypolysaccharide etc. Examples for synthetic superdisintegrants are Sodium Starch Glycolate, Cross-linked polyvinyl
pyrrolidone etc. Natural superdisintegrants are more widely used than synthetic superdisintegrants as they are more
economical, low cost, easily available, non- toxic on the body and more patient compliance.

Abstract: Obesity is associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic disorder with cardiovascular risk. The increasing
incidence of obesity has become important to know the root cause of obesity and how to control the growing incidence of
obesity. The prevalence of obesity ranges from 10% to 50%. The increased mortality associated with obesity result primarily
from increased risks for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and possibly some types of cancer. The
paper was prepared at Lucknow City. The 101 patients were selected by purposive sampling method and were studied under
two categories; experimental comprising 59 obese subjects and control group 42 obese subjects. The experimental group was
examined for their weight and blood leptin level and went under dietary intervention. Leptin is a polypeptide hormone and is
circulated with the blood to the brain, predominantly hypothalamus to influence the appetite; energy expenditure and neuroendocrine function. Problem in the regulation of Leptin Hormone is the cause of change in body weight. High Blood Leptin
Level (up to normal limits) decreases the appetite, thus decreasing food intake. The relationship between diet (protein rich
diet), weight and blood leptin level was statistically analysed and supported by chi-square. Thus concluding that the diet rich
in protein promotes weight reduction by increasing the blood leptin level, vice versa for fat and carbohydrate content is not
interfering.

Development of a Liposomal nano Delivery system Containing Targeting ligand
tetra decyl Aspartic acid
Muralidhar Rao Akkaladevi
Maheshwara Institute of Pharmacy, Chitkul (V),Patancheru, Hyderabad-502307, INDIA
Abstract: Tetradecyl aspartic acid (TDAA) is a substrate for System L. System L is the second most abundant transport
system available at the BBB transporting neutral amino acids. These transporters can be exploited for the delivery of drugs.
The steric requirements for System L are that the substrate must possess an α-amino group and a carboxylic group attached to
the same carbon atom, plus a hydrophobic side chain. TDAA satisfies steric requirement of System L. By using TDAA as a
recognition ligand, drug molecules or drug molecules loaded on to carriers can be delivered to the brain. We attempted to
prepare liposomes with TDAA with or without cholesterol. However all the preparations were difficult to hydrate and
liposomes did not form with TDAA either with or without cholesterol. But we could load TDAA on to the liposomes up to a

Abstract: The application of medicinal substances to the skin is a concept undoubtedly as old as humanity, the Papyrus
records of ancient Egypt describes a variety of such medication for external use. Innovative techniques for drug delivery have
been explored in human medicine in recent years. Transdermal drug delivery has made an important impact to medical
practice; it has been potential as an alternative to oral delivery and hypodermic injections. Several tactics for improving
transdermal drug delivery were researched; Ethosome are the slight modification of well-established drug carrier liposome.
Permeation enhancer which has the ability to cause the perturbation of the skin and aid for drug penetration. The ethanol
effect of ethosome and permeation enhancer will synergistically enhance the drug penetration to deeper skin and systemic
circulation. Ethosomal formulations were prepared using lamivudine as model drug 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 compare ethosomes containing propylene glycol.

Abstract: Aluminium is a third group element according to the periodic table. Chemically it is a reactive metal often forming
complexes within its binary alloys. In the present work we have dealt with the impact of eigenvalues on the superconducting
state parameter viz. the electron-phonon coupling strength of this metal. We have also dealt with the same for two binary
alloys of it viz. aluminium-magnesium and aluminium-zinc. For this purpose we have computed the non-local screened form
factor for each of them. Initially the orthogonalised plane wave parameter has been taken as unity. Thereafter VashishtaSingwi form of exchange and correlation are employed. The core energy eigenvalues of Herman-Skillman and Clementi have
been used. Our results are quite satisfactory for the metal as well as its present alloys. Our computation reveals that the
superconducting state parameter can be reasonably reproduced by Harrison’s first principle pseudopotential technique along
with McMillan’s formalism provided a proper choice of the core energy eigenvalues is made.

Dept. Exercise & Sport Sciences, School of Health Sciences (PPSK), Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia, 16150.
Abstract: The present study aims at understanding relationships between different psychological parameters in explaining
soccer performance outcome. 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.
Keywords: reaction, ability, function, enhancement, cortical, Activation.

Effect of Yoga Training on ability to Function with Emotions
Mr Anap U.D.
Director of Physical Education, Women’s College of Home Science & BCA, Loni 413713
Abstract: Introduction:-Like various other aspects of personality emotions play a vital role in the manifestation of the
individual’s behaviour. Situation stimulates emotion and emotion not only colour but also generate situations. Emotions can
be considered as ultra conservative, evolutionary behavioraladaption that really helps in increasing the chances of survival for
the individual. The evaluation of stimuli and subsequent emotions are strongly influenced by individual’s estimate of his own
capabilities involving social and cultural factors. Though emotion and self are intimately linked, but self is the most global
organization subsuming all other structures and functions. It influences both elicitation and expression of emotions which
may be either congruent or incongruent with individual’s concept of self. Thus emotions as an impulse towards definite form
behaviour, may arouse, sustain and direct activity and play an energizing role in the undaunted expression ofbehaviour. A
sense of humor and the ability to both give and receive love are related to the sphere of emotions, that are not provided as gift
but are to be developed by the individual’s as their own characterizes pattern of emotional reactivity which may contribute to
or detract from mental and physical health and effectiveness of the individual adequate expression and control of emotions
refer to a tendency marked by adequate emotional expressiveness based on fulsome expression and control of emotions or
control of emotions may lead to uncontrolled and disorganized emotionally. Ability to function with emotions is one of the
components of emotional competence. It is sometimes difficult to carry out even routine work when one finds himself face to
face with a highly emotional situation. Emotional competence requires that the individual should develop a characterize
pattern of emotional reactivity which should not let him be influenced in his adequate mode of functioning that helps him in
performing actions of daily routine properly. In the domain of emotions clearly indicates that this aspect of personality plays
a vital role in the manifestation of human behaviour by which one attempts todeal with different emotive situations and meet
his needs to maintain a harmonious relationship with the environment.

Differentiated Instruction in the Inclusive Classroom
Kalpana Thakur
Institute of Educational Technology and Vocational Education, Panjab University, Chandigarh- 160014.
Abstract: Inclusive education has developed from the belief that education is a basic human right and that it provides the
foundation for a more just and accepting society. The right to education Act (RTE) – 2009 necessitates the present day
classroom to be inclusive in nature that is welcoming and is pedagogically capable of educating the naturally diverse
population of students who arrive at its door. Differentiated instruction is the very foundations upon which teachers can
create such classrooms. Differentiated instruction is a technique that teachers use to accommodate each student’s learning
style and instructional preferences. This strategy may involve teaching the same material to all students using a variety of
instructional methods, or it may require the teacher to teach content at varying levels of difficulty based on the readiness,
interests and ability of each student. The paper also highlights the rationale of differentiated instruction that lies behind
Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory; Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory, varied learning styles. The present paper focuses on
the four areas by which the teachers can differentiate viz. 1) through content: the information that must be learned, 2)
process: The combination of activities and input from the teacher that engage the learner in the content, 3) product: The
outcomes of student learning that demonstrate understanding or mastery, and 4) learning environment based on the individual
learner. Differentiated instruction is proactive, qualitative, rooted in assessment, provides multiple approaches to content,
process, and product, is student-centered, a blend of whole-class, group, and individual instruction. Various steps to manage
the differentiated classroom are discussed viz. to know one’s students, to build variety of teaching strategies, identify a
variety of instructional activities and to identify ways to evaluate student progress.

An ESP Constructivist Learning Environment – A New Paradigm Shift
Slađana Živković
College of Applied Technical Studies and Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, University of Niš, Serbia
Abstract: This paper considers developing constructivist learning theories and explores their possible implications in the
design of the ESP learning environment. It should be emphasized that the central characteristic of constructivism is that
learning is an active process in which learners construct new knowledge based upon their prior knowledge through the
interaction with the environment. The environment creates engaging and content-relevant experiences by utilizing modern
technologies and resources to support unique learning goals and knowledge construction. The fact is that the 21st century
student requires powerful tools for improving learning, for collaboration with others, sharing information and knowledge, and
in that way, they are involved in solving complex real-life problems. A constructivist learning environment provides
opportunities for each student to interprete multiple perspectives. A modern ESP constructivist learning environment is
technology-based which enables innovations in the classroom providing authentic, active, interactive, collaborative and
problem-based learning.
