ABSTRACT: One of the most exciting aspects of the astrophysics is the continued discovery of the wide range of molecular species. The Astro-molecules like as H2O, H2S detected in interstellar matter have been covered in present study. In this paper, we report a theoretical study on electron scattering by Astro-molecules in the low-energy range. The rotational excitation differential scattering cross sections (DCS) are calculated for electron scattering by Astro-molecules like H2O and H2S, at the energy 2.14 eV. and 5.0 eV respectively. The Born Eikonal Series (BES) Approximation method is employed for present calculation and using the hard sphere dipole interaction potential model for electron-molecule interaction. The results obtained for present calculation are compared with experiment and theoretical data available in the literature.

ABSTRACT: We studied the most general spherically symmetric space-time, in time – independent gravitational fields in related to the pre - Hawking radiation, gravitational collapse and stability of the model. It is seen that in stationary space-time, there is no pre - Hawking radiation, and model will continue to collapse due to the gravitational effect. The model is unstable and has no stability phase in stationary spacetime.

ABSTRACT: The intellectual or mental development of children and adults with Down syndrome has often been described in terms of IQ (Intelligence Quotient) which is calculated on the basis of the various IQ tests. In the present study of Down syndrome patients from Haryana State, all the Down syndrome patients were categorized into four groups on the basis of degree of mental retardation following WHO system of classification (ICD-10, WHO 1993). Maximum number (52%) of Down syndrome cases was with moderate mental retardation. More number of cases of severe Down syndrome group could be diagnosed before six months as compared to mild and moderate group. Two ways ANOVA test was significant at 5% level, showed association between mental level and age of diagnosis of patients. Chi-square (2) test indicated a significant association between chronological age & I.Q. levels in these patients. Delivery complications like mother had Rh incompatibility & bleeding during late pregnancy were more common in moderate & severe Down syndrome group as compared as compared to mild group. This study will be helping in evaluating the brain development & difference to the progress of patients with Down syndrome. The standardization data allows analyst to compare the scores for a particular child with those of a large sample of children of the same age, so that they can see if the child is doing better or worse than the standard of this large, given sample.

ABSTRACT : Microscopic theoretical studies of scattering and reaction problems for light and medium mass nuclei have been extensively carried out during the past several years using wavefunctions corresponding to various nuclear models[1]. In this present paper the antisymmetrized wavefunction of ground state of 5He nucleus is constructed with definite spin and parity using the cluster model alongwith Resonating group method RGM and Generator coordinate method GCM. The 5He nucleus in its ground state is considered to consist of one alpha cluster and a neutron cluster. Here we have applied a new approach ie Complex Generator Coordinate Technique CGCT. This technique is applied to the cluster model wavefunction to transform it into antisymmetrized product of single particle wavefunction. In the last the normalization constant is also calculated in order to make the wavefunction to be normalized.

ABSTRACT: Musa paradisiaca L., Ravenala madagascariensis Sonn. and Heliconia rostrata Ruiz & Pav. are three morphologically similar genera retaining confusion regarding their systematic position and phylogenetic relationship. These genera had been placed by various taxonomists in different systems of classification under different families. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to infer the phylogenetic relationship between these genera and their respective families. To analyze the intergeneric and interfamilial phylogenetic relationship; the morphological and biochemical analyses were carried out and the data were elucidated for phylogenetic trees by using Mesquite 2.75 (http://mesquiteproject.org). However, the phylogenetic trees so obtained failed to show any close relationship. Other analyses were carried out by using MEGA 5.0 (www.megasoftware.net/) where amino acid sequence of rbcL protein and matK DNA sequences were retrieved from NCBI (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), aligned by clustalW software and had been analyzed for maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and neighbour joining. The phylogenetic trees so obtained clearly showed that M. paradisiaca, H. rostrata and R. madagascariensis are three distinct genera, belonging to different families. This supports the Cronquist’s modern system of classification and also justifies the placement of these three plants under three different families in APG III system of classification. Thus, M. paradisiaca, R. madagascariensis and H. rostrata must be recognized under three different families as they constitute a common clade known as Commelinids on the basis of morphological, biochemical and molecular evidences.

ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted in the field laboratory, Department of Plant pathology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to evaluate the efficacy of compost tea and poultry litter extract in controlling late blight of potato and tomato under natural infection condition. Significant effects of different organic amendments were observed on the incidence and severity of late blight in potato and tomato as compared to control. The results showed that the minimum late blight incidence, per cent late blight infected leaves per plant and per cent leaf area diseased per plant were recorded in T3 (compost tea applied as foliar spray) followed by T2 (foliar spray of Ridomil) while these parameters of late blight assessment were recorded maximum in control treatment (T1). Application of IPM lab Biopesticide and BAU-Biofungicide performed better as compared to remaining treatments used in the study. All other components such as soil application of poultry litter, mustard oil cake, soil drenching of compost tea and poultry litter extract resulted significantly lower late blight incidence and severities as compared to untreated control (T1). Foliar application of compost tea showed best performance in increasing the plant height and yield as compared to all other treatments although soil application of mustard oil cake and compost produced tallest plant and highest number of plants, respectively in potato while the maximum plant height, number branches per plant, and fruit yield in tomato were recorded in case of compost tea applied as soil drench as compared to control. The other treatments showed significant effect in increasing all the growth and yield parameters of both potato and tomato as compared to control. Benefit cost analyses revealed that foliar spray of compost tea showed highest BCR (65.20) followed by T8 (Soil application of IPM Lab Biopesticide) with BCR 54.38 in case of potato while the highest BCR (28.32) was calculated in plots received compost tea as soil drenching followed by T9 (BAU-Biofungicide as foliar spray) in case of tomato. The other treatments showed comparatively higher BCR as compared to untreated control in both vegetables. The results indicated that an investment of Tk. 1.00 may lead to a profit up to Tk. 65.20 by foliar application of compost tea in potato and may lead to a profit of Tk. 28.32 with soil drenching of compost tea in tomato which are maximum profit inthe present study.

ABSTRACT: The concept of complex order-distribution & conjugated differ integrals was developed by Adams, Hartley & Lorenzo [1]. The present paper deals with the complex orderdistribution using conjugated differintegrals of the I-Function. These conjugate-order differ integrals involving the I-Function allows the generalization of fractional system identification to enables the search for complex order-derivatives that may better describe real-time behaviors involving special functions. Further Caputo fractional derivative of I-function also obtained. Due to generous nature of I-function, this paper may have vast applications in signal processing & electrical systems.

ABSTRACT: Insect transmitted diseases in tropical countries remain a major health threat causing great morbidity every year. Mosquitoes are animals most of us would rather do without. Several mosquito species belonging to genera Anopheles, Culex and Aedes are vectors for the pathogens of various diseases like malaria, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis (JE), dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever, yellow fever, etc. the need to protect ourselves from their bites seems even more important. Many plant-based products are widely used for their insecticidal/repellent properties for control of mosquitoes/protection from mosquito bites. Herbal products with proven potential as insecticide or repellent can play an important role in the interruption of the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases at the individual as well as at the community level. Use of repellents seems to be most reliable method of personal protection against annoyance and infections associated with haematophagous insects. We have tested the repellency of essential oil extracted from Lantana camara in laboratory condition application of oil to the upper surface of the human forearms at the rates between 0.08 to 3.33 mg / cm2 of skin. The study provides evidence for the potential of these essential oil in developing new repellents against mosquitoes.

ABSTRACT: The present randomized controlled trial was planned to evaluate the effect of a combination of yoga practices on self-rated symptoms of visual discomfort in voluntarie professional computer users in Himachal Pradesh Universities. In regular computer users, computer vision syndrome is the main ailment of eye with ‘Dry eye' being the main contributor to the symptoms. A combination of yoga practices have been shown to reduce visual strain in persons with progressive myopia. In the study, two hundred and ninety one professional computer users from different universities of Himachal Pradesh were randomly assigned to two groups, yoga (YG, n = 146) and wait list control (WL, n = 145). Both groups were assessed at baseline and after sixty days for self-rated visual discomfort using a standard questionnaire. During these 60 days the YG group practiced an hour of yoga daily for five days in a week and the WL group did their usual recreational activities also for an hour daily for the same duration. At 60 days there were 62 in the YG group and 55 in the WL group. While the scores for visual discomfort of both groups were comparable at baseline, after 60 days there was a significantly decreased score in the YG group, whereas the WL group showed significantly increased scores. The results suggest that the yoga practice appeared to reduce visual discomfort, while the group who had no yoga intervention (WL) showed an increase in discomfort at the end of sixty days.

ABSTRACT: India as a major hot-spot region for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection as identified by World Health Organization. The present study was conducted to characterize the sequences of the loci associated with multidrug resistance in clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis from Union Teritory, Chandigarh to identify the respective mutations. The loci selected were rpoB (rifampin), katG and the ribosomal binding site of inhA (isoniazid), gyrA and gyrB (ofloxacin), and rpsL and rrs (streptomycin). We found known as well as novel mutations at these loci. Few of the mutations at the rpoB locus could be correlated with the drug resistance levels exhibited by the M. tuberculosis isolates and occurred with frequencies different from those reported earlier. Missense mutations at codons 526 to 531 seemed to be crucial in conferring a high degree of resistance to rifampin. We identified a common Arg463Leu substitution in the katG locus and certain novel insertions and deletions. Mutations were also mapped in the ribosomal binding site of the inhA gene. A Ser95Thr substitution in the gyrA locus was the most common mutation observed in ofloxacin-resistant isolates. A few isolates showed other mutations in this locus. Seven streptomycin-resistant isolates had a silent mutation at the lysine residue at position 121. While certain mutations are widely present, pointing to the magnitude of the polymorphisms at these loci, others are not common, suggesting diversity in the multidrugresistant M. tuberculosis strains prevalent in this region. Our results additionally have implications for the development of methods for multidrug resistance detection and are also relevant in the shaping of future clinical treatment regimens and drug design strategies.

ABSTRACT: In this paper we consider a machine repair problem with spares, balking and reneging. The failure and repair of machines is assumed to be exponentially distributed. Birth and death process is employed to formulate the mathematical model of the problem. The Chapman-Kolmogorov equations are formulated for steady state, which have been solved recursively. The queue size distribution for the system having N operating units along with the mixed spares of which S1 are warm and S2 are cold is established using product type technique. Some special cases are deduced which tally with earlier existing results. To find out the optimal number of spares and repairmen a cost function is also mentioned.

were made to initiate the commercial production of jojoba seed and wax but they were soon abandoned due to the absence of adapted cultivars. For this reason, a selection program that is intended to identify high yielding genotypes adapted to western and north regions of the country was initiated. This work examines the performance of jojoba clones and uses some agronomical and chemical traits as descriptors for discrimination and selection of jojoba clones. The field trials were carried out at three planting sites in Makkah, Al Madinah and Hail districts. Nine promising individual mother plants were selected from a heterogeneous seed stock planted in Makkah area on the basis of plant habit, consistency in seed yield and wax production. The selected mother plants were vegetatively propagated and planted in three experimental farms western and northern Saudi Arabia. Significant differences were found among the clones in most of the evaluated parameters in Al Madinah area but limited variations were observed at Hail and Makkah areas. High significant correlations were observed among most of the studied traits. Data on individual seed weight, seed yield and seed wax content in addition to number of floral buds, node length and plant height (one parameter at a time) were used to make selection indices (SI). The results obtained in this work indicate that there is a moderate genetic variability among jojoba clones established in western and northern Saudi Arabia which could permit utilization of some of the evaluated clones in establishing commercial plantations for seed and wax in areas north of latitude 24°N. At lower latitudes, the fast growth of the jojoba bush will permit its utilization in sand stabilization, landscaping, desertification, open natural range lands and national parks projects.
