Metabolic pathways within a biological cell serve as a key for the various functions of the living organism. In this article, the authors have considered a mathematical study of the carbohydrate catabolism of the nematode, Ascaris lumbricoides. The technique involves setting up of a Stoichiometric matrix (S) for the biochemical reactions involved in the process and calculating biochemically meaningful basis vectors for the null space of S. In the present study, the stoichiometric matrix S is of order 26×40 for which fourteen column vectors are obtained as forming the "basis". It is found that twelve column vectors represent the reversible reactions involved in the metabolic pathway and two-column vectors represents stoichiometry of the network.Keywords

Aditya-L1 mission will carry two high-spectral resolution X-ray spectrometers to study solar flares. The soft X-ray spectrometer will cover the energy range from 1 to 30 keV, while the hard X-ray spectrometer will cover from 10 to 150 keV. These two instruments together will provide opportunities to study the plasma parameters during solar flares as well as acceleration mechanisms of energetic particles during the flaring time.Keywords

The National Large Solar Telescope (NLST) aims primarily to carry out observations of the solar atmosphere with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution. A comprehensive site characterization programme, that commenced in 2007, has identified an excellent site in the Ladakh region at the Pangong lake, India. With an innovative optical design, NLST is an on-axis Gregorian telescope with a low number of optical elements to reduce the number of reflections and yield a high throughput with low polarization. In addition, it uses high-order adaptive optics to produce close to diffraction limited performance. To control atmospheric and thermal perturbations of the observations, the telescope will function with a fully open dome, to achieve its full potential atop a 25 m tower. The post-focus instruments include broadband and tuneable Fabry-Perot narrow band imaging instruments and a high-resolution spectropolarimeter.Keywords
