Background: In this article we report our findings on correlation between body mass index (BMI) and lactate threshold (LT) during an aerobic exercise. Total 30 male subjects of age in the range of 20- 40 years, classified into three different categories, normal, overweight and obese, performed a treadmill exercise as per Bruce Protocol and their respiratory parameters were recorded. We analyzed our experimental data for each of the three groups individually as well as altogether. Statistical data analysis revealed that LT decreases with increase in BMI. This trend was found to be consistent within and across the groups.
Materials and Method: All participants in this study were first medically examined to confirm that they did not have any cardiorespiratory complications; and their BMI was calculated. Based on their BMI, they were classified into three-normal, overweight obese groups and subjected to a treadmill exercise with Bruce Protocol.
Result: Lactate threshold decreases with increase in BMI within and across the groups
Conclusion: This study establishes a correlation between lactate threshold and BMI of individuals that suggests that with increased BMI, lactate threshold decreases resulting into a decrease in respiratory fitness level.

With the formation of International Monetary Fund, Forex market was emerged as a unique services market. It is a distinct trading market where awareness about market is the only way to make money to contribute in your concerned economy. Since inception of this market, US Dollar was the central unit of account and vehicle currency for settlement of international transactions. Still US Dollar has an unbeaten dominance with around 87% share in global Forex market.
In India, examples of forex trades in ancient period are businesses through silk route, export of carpets to Arabian countries or export of spices to European continent. But a formal Forex market existed since 1973 when India introduced the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). Now the market has completed almost four decades, but still its share in global market is non recognizable.
In this paper we explore the dynamics of Indian forex market. We will analyze global presence of this market after FERA /FEMA regime. We will explore the possibility to promote Rupee-dominated export to make this market more vibrant along with the awareness of Indian citizen about this more profitable product.
The analysis has several limitations that should be kept in mind when giving the conclusion. One of such limitation is limited availability of authentic data on global foreign exchange market. We plan to address this limitation in our future work. We expect that the basic intuition developed in this paper will offer an opportunity to more research on the concerned topic.

Ease of administration and painless approach made oral route the most preferred. Poor oral bioavailability is pronounced with the majority of recent active ingredients because of dissolution rate limited absorption. Failure to attain intended therapeutic effect of the poor water soluble drugs by this route led to development of novel drug delivery systems which will fulfill therapeutic needs with minimum dose. Although many formulation approaches like solid dispersions, complexation, pH modifications and lipid based delivery systems finding increased appliance with the apparent increase in absorption of drug. Among lipid based formulations, self-micro emulsifying formulations (droplet size < 100 nm) are evident to improve the oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs primarily due to their efficiency in facilitating solubilization and in presenting the hydrophobic drug in solubilized form whereby dissolution process can be circumvented. Various components that are used to formulate these dosage forms like surfactants and lipids contribute to the overall improvement in oral bioavailability via promoting the lymphatic transport; thereby hepatic first pass metabolism can be surmounted. The present article gives exhaustive information on the formulation design and characterization of SMEDDS by which the bioavailability can be improved. In this review article, the various aspects of pharmaceutical SMEDDS where compiled together and target audience are specifically the B.Pharm and M.Pharm students so that their knowledge towards the subject concern can be enhanced and also at the same time can be motivated towards the publication.Keywords

Sugarcane is a most important cash crop of India. It involves less risk and farmers are assured upto some extent about return even in adverse condition. In agriculture sector, sugarcane shared 7% of the total value of agriculture output and occupied 2.6% of India’s gross cropped area during 2006-07. Sugarcane provides raw material for the second largest agro-based industry after textile. About 527 working sugar factories were located in the country during 2010- 11 with total crushing capacity of about 242 lakh tonnes. The sugar industry is an instrumental in generating the sizable employment in the rural sector directly and through its ancillary units. It is estimated that about 50 million farmers and their dependents are engaged in the cultivation of sugarcane and about 0.5 million skilled and unskilled workers are engaged in sugar factories and its allied industries. Wheat-sugarcane-raton cropping system is followed in whole of western Uttar Pradesh and lower parts of Uttrakhand where sugarcane is the main cash crop and wheat is the major cereal. The system accounts for more than 60% of the total cultivated area in the region. However, lower average yield of planted cane (50 tonnes/ha) recorded in this. The reduction in cane yield owing to delayed planting cannot be compensated by additional inputs viz., frequent irrigations, extra fertilizers and inter culture operations. Planting of sugarcane involves a number of operations viz., cutting of canes into pieces called setts, opening of furrows, placement of fertilizer in the opened furrows, laying setts and covering these with a blanket of soil. The whole process of sugarcane planting is very labour and time intensive. In order to achieve uniform crop stand, correct seed rate, appropriate depth of setts placements and uniformity of setts with required overlapping are important. These, however can better be achieved by using tractor-drawn sugarcane cutter planter apart from economising labour and energy. Also there is a need to evolve proper tillage techniques for early planting of sugarcane in wheat-sugarcane crop sequence. In this paper study conducted on the performance of the effect of pre and post irrigation on different tillage treatments on soil’s physical properties on the different types of sugarcane cutter planters.Keywords

7XXX series aluminum alloys (Al 7XXX alloys) are widely used in bearing components, such as aircraft frame, spars and stringers, for their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, high toughness, excellent processing, and welding performance. One of the most commonly used aluminium alloy for structural applications is Al7075 alloy due to its attractive comprehensive properties such as low density, high strength, ductility, toughness and resistance to fatigue. Another important alloy in the Al 7XXX series is Al7178. It has exceptional uses in Aviation field, Automobile sector, and Structural industries. In the present research work an attempt is made to prepare a blend of these two alloys and get the optimum composition which yields high strength Al 7(075+178). A medium frequency induction furnace with graphite crucible was used for the melting. Mechanical properties like Tensile strength and Hardness are selected as the output response along with the Microstructural analysis. Taguchi method was adopted for designing experimental composition of the composite which is prepared.
