The ethanolic extract of Calocybe indica was studied for its free radical scavenging property on different in vitro models like 1, 1 - diphenyl-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) Assay, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay and in vitro antilipidperoxidative assay using goat liver homogenate and RBC Ghost model. The in vitro Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was inhibited to a good extent by the Calocybe indica ethanolic extract and the extent of inhibition being higher in the RBC membrane model than the liver homogenate model. The mushroom extract showed good dosedependent free radical scavenging property in both the models.Keywords

Preference aware relational database system is that transparently and efficiently handles queries with different users receive different results based on their personal interests. Preference database employs a preference keyword search knowing the database complicated queries by utilizing user comprises the standard relational operators extended to handle scores and confidences preferences. The conditional part acts as soft constraint that determines which tuples are scored without disqualifying any tuples from the query result. PrefDB separates preference evaluation from tuple filtering. For the first time formalized and solve the problem of effective keyword search over encrypted server data while maintaining keyword privacy. It allows us to define the algebraic properties of the prefer operator and build generic query optimization and processing strategies that are applicable regardless of the type of reference specified in a query or the expected type of answer and separation is a distinguishing feature of work with respect to previous works. Keyword search searching inputs exactly match the predefined keywords based on keyword similarity semantics.Keywords

The importance of micronutrients in health and diseases has been receiving increasingly greater attention for the past three decades. Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) and Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) are the two major micronutrient deficiency diseases with adverse consequences world wide especially for women of reproductive age and young children.- Effect of Mercury Exposure on Vigna unguiculata (Cowpea) Seeds

Vigna unguiculata (Cowpea) seeds were grown under controlled environment in solution of mercury at different concentrations. The eco-toxicity of mercury on the seed germination, early seedling growth, metabolite level, enzyme activities and the uptake of heavy metal content in the seeds were tested. It may be concluded that the inhibition of germination, rate of germination and growth of seeds of Vigna unguiculata in response to mercury demonstrate that they are suppressed not only the protrusion of radical or delayed the germination but also retarded the growth. The seedling growth is more sensitive to heavy metal (Hg2+) in comparison to seed germination. Mercury treatment is potentially toxic to Vigna unguiculata ischolar_main than shoot. Absorption depends on the ability of the ischolar_main and may have an influence on synthesis of protein, carbohydrate, activity of enzyme and phenolic content, some of which can be enhanced, while others get inhibited. The sensitivity of Vigna unguiculata seeds in terms of biochemical changes and enzyme activities was remarkably noticeable. The results suggest that biochemical changes and enzyme activity in Vigna unguiculata plants is promising indicator of heavy metal toxicity. Vigna unguiculata assay should be further explored so that its value can be evaluated when more data are available.Keywords

The Piperpep database is a compilation of peptide data from mass spectrometry analysis of a medicinally important export oriented crop - black pepper, developed by the fact that any mass spectrometry derived data would be an excellent source for genome annotation in future. This database has 1001 peptides, including 36 antimicrobial peptides annotated from the leaf of black pepper. The user friendly browsing and search tools would help the researcher with crop improvement in black pepper and also in other crops via peptide or protein data. The information on antimicrobial peptides in this database is expected to cater towards development of new drugs for agricultural and medicinal uses.References

Convective ow and heat transfer of uid inside a square en- closure having heat generating solid body, with various thermal boundary conditions is investigated numerically. The top wall of the enclosure is adiabatic, both the bottom and right walls are kept at constant temper- ature, while the left wall is heated using sin function. Numerical simu- lations is carried out by solving the governing equations using SIMPLE algorithm by means of the nite-volume method with power-law scheme. The important parameters focused are angle of inclination of the enclo- sure, area ratio of solid-enclosure, Hartmann number and temperature dierence ratio of solid- uid, which are ranges 0o - 90o, 0:0625 - 0:5625, 0 - 100 and 0 - 50, respectively. Thermal conductivity ratio of solid- uid is xed as 5 and Rayleigh number as 105.Keywords
