Objectives: India is known for its production of tender coconuts. Crops laid throughout the year not like any other fruits or vegetables for every 3/6months. The usage of coconut is immense (especially India) like in temples, homes, drinking purpose etc. (on regular basis). We can see lots of tender coconut shells as waste after using in above places and found them near to street bins and road sides. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Our paper is focusing on utilizing that waste in to coconut Briquettes. The tender coconut will be mashed in to pieces and then conjure by special pressing machine, while pressing the coconut shell will be inflamed to remove Moisture. Briquettes produced by this procedure will be having hallow elliptical shape Thus the briquettes we are looking to replace fuel is formed. Findings: The main difference from normal coal to our paper is effective and also environment friendly. These solid briquettes can be burnt up to 2-3 hrs. Whereas normal peat only lights up to 20 minutes at the max. Applications/Improvements: The normal coal produces carbon dioxide, sometimes carbon monoxide and Sulphur oxides. But this coconut shell brick lead to clean environment. Our aim re-usage of waste and keep environment clean.Keywords

- Survivin Expression in Canine Spontaneous Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Tumors and its Prognostic Importance
Abstract Views :132 |
PDF Views:0
Materials and Methods: Forty cases of canine cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue tumors on histopathological examination revealed various round cell, epithelial, and mesenchymal cell tumors. Survivin gene expression was detected in all tumors tested by TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction assay by comparative cycle threshold method.
Results: The mean survivin gene expression value of benign tumors was 0.94±0.63 folds and that of malignant tumors was 18.87±5.30 folds. Postsurgical follow up of 30 malignant tumor cases revealed death in 8, recurrence in 7, and neoplastic free alive status in 15 dogs with mean survivin fold difference values of 48.49±12.39, 14.63±6.37, and 5.034±2.27, respectively. The mean survivin gene expression value was significantly higher in malignant (30 cases, 18.87±5.30) compared to benign tumors (10 cases, 0.94±0.63), and it varied between various postsurgical follow-up groups (p<0.05). Survival analysis, using survivin gene expression median cutoff value of 3.74 in 30 malignant tumors, was performed to predict probable survival period in malignant cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors of dogs.
Conclusion: Results of the present study indicated that the expression of survivin in canine cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors has prognostic value, and survivin expression greater than median cutoff value of 3.74 has a poor prognosis.

Aim: The present study was carried out to know the expression level of survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein with an objective to determine its prognostic importance in cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue tumors of dogs.Materials and Methods: Forty cases of canine cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue tumors on histopathological examination revealed various round cell, epithelial, and mesenchymal cell tumors. Survivin gene expression was detected in all tumors tested by TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction assay by comparative cycle threshold method.
Results: The mean survivin gene expression value of benign tumors was 0.94±0.63 folds and that of malignant tumors was 18.87±5.30 folds. Postsurgical follow up of 30 malignant tumor cases revealed death in 8, recurrence in 7, and neoplastic free alive status in 15 dogs with mean survivin fold difference values of 48.49±12.39, 14.63±6.37, and 5.034±2.27, respectively. The mean survivin gene expression value was significantly higher in malignant (30 cases, 18.87±5.30) compared to benign tumors (10 cases, 0.94±0.63), and it varied between various postsurgical follow-up groups (p<0.05).
