Alteration pattern of Air Quality Index with changing seasons, was studied and air monitoring was carried out at different road intersections selected in the trans-Gomti, central and southern regions of the Lucknow city. On the basis of levels of different pollutants in the ambience, the Air Quality Index was calculated to categorize the sites from very clean to polluted range. The air Quality Index data showed that the central region of the city was maximally polluted with auto-exhaust emission, followed by trans-Gomti region, while the southern region was minimally polluted. A marked seasonal variation pattern was also observed in the AQI being maximum in the winter season, followed by summer and the least in the rainy season. With the help of AQI, a pollution map of Lucknow city was prepared for the first time with different colour shades indicating the levels of air pollution in different localities.Keywords

Kodo, a neglected but useful grain, holds promise for future food security. Kodo is nutritionally comparable with other cereals and in some respect superior to rice and wheat. In India, it is mainly consumed by tribal people, who dehusk it by hand pounding. In the present investigation milling quality of raw as well as parboiled Kodo were determined. The Kodo grains were parboiled by soaking grain at 50oC for 3 h, then steamed for 15 min. followed by shed drying for 24 h. Kodo millet was dehusked using hand grinders to assess the maximum possible value of milling parameters. Three types of hand grinders namely dried mud, Plaster of Paris (POP) and cement were used. In the preliminary experiment POP hand grinders was found totally unsuitable for milling of Kodo because grains were severely damaged and mixing of POP powder. Raw and parboiled Kodo grains were dehusked on dried mud and cement hand grinders in two passes. With dried mud grinder head yield and milling efficiency of raw Kodo samples were found 84.8 per cent and 70.07 per cent while parboiled Kodo sample had shown 98.79 per cent and 96.03 per cent. Similarly with cement grinder head yield and milling efficiency of raw Kodo samples were found 13.72 per cent and 41.45 per cent while parboiled Kodo sample had shown 84.14 per cent and 84.0 per cent.Keywords

Methanol extract of the stem of Clerodendrum phlomidis L. was investigated for anti-hepatotoxic activity against CCl4 induced hepatic damage in male Wister rats. The extracts in dose of 500mg/kg b.w p.o for 7 days were compared with the standard silymarin (Silybon-70, 10mg/kg-b.w p.o). The methanol extract of the plant have shown anti-hepatotoxic activity by reducing the elevated levels of serum enzymes such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) by 29.88 %, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) by 25.86%while alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 14.21 %. On the other hand, total protein (TP) were increased by 27.20 %, as compared to standard drug silymarin which decreased SGOT by 49.66 %, SGPT by 50.31 %,ALKP by 33.29%and increased TP levels by 49.40 %. These biochemical observations were also supplemented by histopathological examinations of the liver sections.Keywords

Bakery products are a new dimension in modern times owing to their versatility in day to day life. The bakery industry, production of which has been Increasing steadily in the country, is the largest among the processed food industries in India. The two major bakery products namely bread and biscuit account for about 82 per cent of total products1. Bread is one of the oldest known recipes to man. The common ingredients are flour, salt, fat and leaving agents such as yeast. Fresh bread and bun are prized for its taste, aroma, quaiity and texture. Bread made from refined wheat flour is consumed extensively throughout the world, especially by populations in developing countries. Several countries have passed the legislation of fortification by the addition of iron and vitamins to wheat flour as a strategy to decrease the high prevalence of iron deficiency. Till now, most of these efforts were ineffective because of several factors: viz., flours of various levels of refinement used to make bread; those flours that are less refined have higher contents of phytic acid (myo- inoSltol-6-phosphate), a strong inhibitor of iron absorption; low consumption of bread; type of Iron fortification used; health status and environmental factors that affect iron metabolism; and low level of fortification perse.- Relationship of Chronic Periodontitis and Plasma C-Reactive Protein during Pregnancy

Background:Maternal periodontal disease is a chronic oral infection with local and systemic inflammatory responses and may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Elevated levels of Creactive protein has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes in maternal periodontal disease.Objectives: To assess plasma C-reactive protein levels in pregnant women with chronic periodontitis and in periodontal health and to compare the incidence of preterm delivery in pregnant women having chronic periodontitis and in periodontal health.
Materials and Methods: A total of 122 pregnant women aged 18 years and above with gestational age < 26 weeks were recruited and divided into two equal groups (control group, study group) of 61 each. Blood samples were taken from both the groups to determine the serum C-reactive protein.
Results: The mean value of C-reactive protein levels in subjects having chronic periodontitis was higher compared to control group i.e., 2.462±0.318 compared to 1.307±0.361 (P < 0.001). The incidence of preterm delivery (<37 weeks) was 82% in the chronic periodontitis group (study group) compared to 3.3% in the control group (P < 0.001). The incidence of low birth weight (<2500g) was 45.9% in chronic periodontitis (study group) compared to 14.8% in the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The findings from the study suggest that periodontal disease in pregnant women is associated with increased C-reactive protein levels in pregnancy. Incidence of preterm delivery and low birth weight infants is higher in pregnant women with chronic periodontitis compared to healthy controls.

Dengue fever is generally not characterized by neurological manifestations, especially in infants. Here we present an 11 month old male child residing in Jalandhar, Punjab, who presented with status epilepticus and later, on investigation, was found to be Dengue encephalitis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case from this region.Full Text

A stochastic model has been developed to generate optimal transactions of various sizes based on the size-distribution of the base year and the movement of currency in transactions either on demand or in exchange, being viewed as the stochastic process and the application of reliability theory to evaluate the economic replacement of various denominations of currency. Life distribution for the currency has also been introduced to compute the average requirement of the amount of various denominations to constitute the denominational composition of currency for the Indian economy in 1990-91 and to forecast such composition upto 1999-2000 along with replacement of invalid notes of various denominations and the results have been found to be fairly encouraging.- A New 8T SRAM Circuit with Low Leakage and High Data Stability Idle Mode at 70nm Technology

Memory has been facing several problems in which the leakage current is the most severe. Many techniques have been proposed to withstand leakage control such as power gating and ground gating. In this paper a new 8T SRAM cell, which adopts a single bit line scheme has been proposed to limit the leakage current as well as to gain high hold static noise margin. The proposed cell with low threshold voltage, high threshold voltage and dual threshold voltage are used to effectively reduce leakage current, and delay. Additionally, the comparison has been performed between conventional 6T SRAM cell and the new 8T SRAM cell. The proposed circuit consumes 671.22 pA leakage current during idle state of the circuit which is very less as compare to conventional 6T SRAM cell with sleep and hold transistors and with different β ratio. The proposed new 8T SRAM cell shows highest noise immunity 0.329mv during hold state. Furthermore, the proposed new 8T SRAM circuit represents minimum read and write access delays 114.13ps and 38.56ps respectively as compare to conventional 6T SRAM cell with different threshold voltages and β ratio.Keywords
