The increasing generation of municipal solid waste and energy crisis is posing various problems in developing countries. The major portion of municipal solid waste generated in developing countries mainly consists of organic waste. Apart from currently used disposal techniques like composting, anaerobic digestion, RDF, landfilling etc., ethanol pro...

Stochastic modelling approach for synthesizing streamflow S. Patidar, A. Deonie, G. Pender and H. Haynes Institute for Infrastructure and Environment, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK ABSTRACT: Practitioners are keen to maximize long-term sustainability of flood risk management (FRM) projects, such as simulation of the morphological...

This study aim was to evaluate soybean cultivars for their reaction (relative susceptibility and resistance ) and effect of different inoculum levels against reniform nematode during kharif 2012 at Jabalpur (M.P.).Cultivars and line (25 total) were evaluated against Rotylenchulus reniformis inoculated with 1000N. Soybean cultivars viz., KALITUR, NR...

Plumbagin is the major alkaloid responsible for medicinal activities of Plumbago zeylanica. Experiments were conducted to quantify secondary metabolite (plumbagin) production in calli / cell clumps/embryoid acquired from cell suspension culture of P. zeylanica. Higher plumbagin amount was detected in one-month-old calli / cell clumps/embryoid fract...

Background: Wilson's disease is the commonest treatable movement disorder in young adults. The disease has protean manifestations & patient may first present to a psychiatrist, neurologist, hepatologist, nephrologist, gastroenterologist or rheumatologist. A high index of suspicion is required for an early diagnosis and proper management to prevent...

A diurnal daytime aerosol optical thickness (AOT) with water vapour was measured using MICROTOPS-II Sunphotometer. Particulate matter PM10 was measured using APM 541 PM 10 particulate sampler during 2009 and 2010. Maximum AOT was observed during morning hours and minimum AOT during evening hours. The AOT values showed decreasing trend with higher w...

The diurnal patterns of different air pollutants viz. NO2, O3 and NH3 were measured at Vadodara (polluted area) and Anand (non polluted area) to quantify their effects on agriculture crops. Air pollution monitoring was done one day in a week regularly at both selected locations using aeroQUAL series 500 coupled with sensors of NO2, O3 and NH3. Obse...

Spinal cord injury is an uncommon complication of post epidural lumbar anesthesia with acute and delayed progressive neurological complications described. Few cases of post spinal anaesthesia syrinx formation have been reported in literature. We report an interesting case of focal myelomalacia with syrinx formation occurring post lumbar anesthesia...

The effects of spot weld model on the numerical simulation of spot welded closed top-hat section sheet metal beams subjected to quassistatic and impact loading conditions were investigated using coupled experimental-numerical approach. Strength tests were performed to find the stiffness curves of spot weld in lap-shear, cross-tension (opening load)...

A chromosomal survey using standard lymphocyte cultures employing different media and G-banding techniques was initiated in 1984. This study became particularly important following the tragic gaseous exposure of the population in Bhopal at midnight on 2 December 1984. We have been able to formulate a chromosomal profile for each person whom we have...
