Oral cancer is the most common form of cancer and cancer-related deaths among Indian males. 70-75% of these cases are due to chewing tobacco. Estrogen and testosterone both are an important hormone for male and female. Estrogen has an important role in the development of breast cancer, ovarian cancer etc. There are very few studies available which describe the increased oral cancer incidence and level of estrogen in male oral cancer patients and use of smokeless tobacco consumption among the same type of cancer patients. Therefore, the present study has been aimed to find out the prevalence of oral cancer due to consumption of smokeless tobacco, sub-site distribution and level of estrogen in the oral cancer patients in Bihar. In the present study 126 patients suffering from oral cancer were selected randomly. The background data obtained were categorized into sex-wise as well as age-wise oral cancer incidence, carcinoma site, frequency of oral cancer and the type of tobacco addiction among the surveyed oral cancer patients. Estrogen level in male oral cancer patients was assessed by ELISA-kit method. Addiction of khaini among all of the smoke and smokeless tobacco consuming persons in Bihar was found higher. Prevalence of oral cancer was four times higher in male patients than the female and the level of estrogen hormone in male oral cancer patients were found elevated. In conclusion, high oral cancer incidence has been observed among people of Bihar. Most popular form of smokeless tobacco is khaini mainly used by illiterate people. Elevated level of estrogen hormone in male oral cancer patients may be associated with the increased incidence of oral cancer among people of Bihar. It may further provide some evidence to understand the whole mechanism of oral cancer.Keywords

The book under review covers various aspects of soil health and climate change. Soil health is strongly linked with human health and environment, but the relationship between soil health, food quality and human health is less understood. A great variety of microorganisms of different sizes, behaviour and physiology are found in healthy soil. The health of the soil is highly influenced by soil degradation and climate change.References

The present investigation was carried out to study heterosis for various horticultural traits of okra in late Kharif- 2013 and summer, 2014 by involving five diverse parents in a diallel mating including reciprocals. The analysis of variance reflected considerable variability for yield and other component traits. VRO-6 was excellent over other parents in per se performance for majority of traits under investigation except average fruit weight, fruit stalk length and ascorbic acid. The cross-combination VRO-6 x GJO-3 was the only F1 exhibiting significant heterobeltiosis as well as standard heterosis for yield per plant. Whereas hybrids AA x AOL-12-52, AA x GJO-3 and VRO-6 x AA also displayed significant heterosis over better parent for this character. The cross-combination VRO-6 x GJO-3 also recorded significant and desirable heterotic gain over standard check for other traits like first flowering node, days to first flowering, number of branches per plant and average fruit weight.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is the mostly used fabrication technique used for joining stainless steel pipe in industry. By this process limited Depth of Penetration (DOP) can be achieved in a single pass. To overcome this problem, the current, speed and flow rate needs to be significantly changed and it will effect productivity. Therefore Activated TIG welding (A-TIG) is explored in the present study. The effect of hybrid mixture is evaluated in terms of DOP on AISI 304 by an automatic orbital welding setup. Hence a mathematical modelling is being done DOP by varying thickness, current, travel speed, and flow rate. A Leica microscope is used to capture the image of microstructure of weld bead. The result shows that a significant increase in DOP and width to penetration ratio by increasing the current for higher thickness after using of activated flux.Keywords

In the early studies, thorough calculations for the band structures of binary and ternary semiconductor compounds have been performed. But in those studies the role of substrate, on which the studied compound is grown, has not been accounted. In this paper, the calculations for the band structures of technologically important binary semiconductors i.e. GaAs and InAs considering the effect of substrate have been performed and the results have been analysed successfully. In results, it has been shown that considering the lattice matched substrate with the grown semiconductor layers is very important for better device performance.Keywords
