Flour prepared from potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) after cooking and drying at 70°C was used for ethanol production. Homogenous slurry of potato flour was prepared in water at solid liquid ratio 1:4. Liquefaction of potato flour slurry with α-amylase (2.05 DUN U/g starch) at 80°C for 30 min followed by saccharification with glucoamylase (20.5 GA U/g starch) at 60°C for 2 h generated 15.2% total reducing sugars in the hydrolysate. Fermentation of hydrolysate with Saccharomyces cerevisiae HAU-1 at 30°C for 48 h resulted in production of 56.8 gl-1 ethanol. Supplementation of nitrogen sources to potato flour did not contribute significantly to ethanol yield. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of hydrolysate was as effective as separate hydrolysis and fermentation.Keywords

Rheumatoid Arthritis is well documented but poorly understood disease known to mankind from the dawn of civilisation. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks flexible (synovial) joints. RA usually affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles are the most commonly affected. The disease often begins slowly, usually with only minor joint pain, stiffness and fatigue. About 1% of the world's population is afflicted by rheumatoid arthritis, women three times more often than men. Onset is most frequent between the ages of 40 and 50, but people of any age can be affected. In addition, individuals with the HLA-DR1or HLA-DR4 serotypes have an increased risk for developing the disorder. It can be a disabling and painful condition, which can lead to substantial loss of functioning and mobility if not adequately treated.Keywords

Variations of nerve are not only of anatomic and embryological interest but also of clinical importance. Their adequate knowledge will help in increasing surgical precision and decreasing morbidity. In present study variations in mode of origin and level of formation of sural nerve was studied. The material for the present study comprised of 60 lower extremities belonging to 30 adult human cadavers obtained from Deptt. of Anatomy, GMC, Amritsar. The sural nerve was identified and its mode of origin and level of formation was studied. In present study, sural nerve was formed by union of medial sural nerve (from tibial nerve or from nerve to medial head of gastrocnemius) and lateral sural nerve (from common peroneal nerve) in 83.33% limbs. It was formed by medial sural nerve alone in 15% limbs. In 1.67% medial and lateral sural nerve were separate. The site of formation was in middle 1/3rd of leg in 20% limbs and distal 1/3rd of leg in 80% limbs.
The sural nerve is usually used as grafting material. So these described variations are helpful for planning operative approaches that minimise risk of sural nerve injury. Moreover the anatomic course of nerve in distal leg and ankle makes it susceptible to local trauma and also to increased risk of injury during surgical intervention at ankle.

The present study was conducted to assess the mobile usage among hostler and dayscholar adolescents. The study was comprised of 200 adolescents (100 hostlers and 100 dayscholars) belonging to middle socio-economic status in 17-18 years of age range, purposively selected from two colleges of Punjab Agricultural University of Ludhiana city. Socio-Economic Status Scale by Sharma (2010) was used to determine the socio-economic status of adolescents. A self structured Mobile Usage Questionnaire was used to assess the mobile usage among adolescents. Results revealed that majority of the hostlers recharged their mobile phones more frequently as compared to dayscholars and their parents paid the monthly bills. All the respondents (hostlers and dayscholars) used their mobile phones for whole of the day for calling and chatting. Hostlers used mobile phones more for text messaging and calling followed by download music, films and pictures, pass time and assignments.Keywords

In order to check the antibacterial potential of bischalcones derived from 4,6-diacetyl resorcinol, a number of chalcone derivatives were synthesized by condensation with appropriate aromatic aldehydes. Out of these compounds 3b-i, 4a and 4b showed a good antibacterial activity. Methylation of the two chelated hydroxyls reduced the activity. However, oxidative cyclization of 3a and 3b resulted in compounds 4a and 4b which were found to be considerably active. The alternative method of synthesis of 4a and 4b via Baker-Venkatararnan rearrangement did not succeed.Keywords

The rarity of inguinal hernia in females remains a clinical curiosity. Due to its rarity inguinal hernias are much more difficult to diagnose in women than in men. We report two cases of direct inguinal hernia in females. Direct inguinal hernia in females being very rare and therefore is an easily missed diagnosis and should be kept at the back of the mind as a differential while dealing with pelvic problems in females.Keywords

Serendipity, in various shades of semantic legitimacy, is abundantly evident in history of drug discovery. In the present era, although new concept of rational drug design has been introduced even then, lots of drugs have arisen, and continue to arise, from chance observation and correct scientific methods. Chance does not produce drugs; but where chances have played a pivotal role in drug discovery, the event may be considered as serendipitous.Keywords

Background: Systemic hypertension, a common disorder with potentially serious complications, exerts ill effects through structural and functional modifications of arterial wall. Haemodynamics play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. Local hemodynamic temporal pressure and wall shear stress are important for understanding the mechanisms leading to various complications in cardiovascular function.
Objectives: Since we could not find such a study in literature involving Indian population, this prompted us to investigate and establish the relationship between the blood pressure and the ascending aortic pulse wave parameters in normal individuals and compare the same with hypertensives.
Material and methods: A case control study was done in a teritary care hospital involving 25 hypertensive patients and further compared with 25 normotensive subjects of same age group acting as control. The GE ̶P 100 Doppler echocardiography machine was used to study acceleration time, deceleration time, ejection time, ejection fraction, peak flow velocity and pressure gradient in hypertensives and compared the same with age matched normotensive. Also ascending aortic diameter was mapped at the annulus.
Results: The results of our study confirmed our assumption that in hypertensive the ascending aortic haemodynamic parameters are abnormal and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure does exert a statistically significant influence on the Doppler parameters of ascending aorta. The acceleration time, deceleration time, pressure gradient and ejection time showed statistically significant increase in hypertensives when compared to normotensive. At the same time the ejection fraction and the ascending aortic diameter showed a statistically significant decrease than normotensive.
Conclusion: We would conclude to say that the Doppler parameters of ascending aortic blood flow are abnormal in hypertensives. This altered haemodynamics may lead to further ill effects by way of altered peripheral haemodynamics. This Doppler evaluation of ascending aortic blood flow can be developed as a clinical tool for evaluating hypertensives and assessing the benefit of treatment of hypertension.

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are formed during treatment of water for drinking purposes. Among these oxyhalide DBPs, viz. bromate, chlorate and chlorite are potentially harmful to humans. In the present study packaged drinking water samples of various commercial brands, available in Mumbai, were analysed for bromide, bromate, chlorite and chlorate ions using ion chromatography. The average concentration levels of bromide, bromate, chlorite and chlorate in packaged drinking water were 28.4, 10.7, 7.1 and 20.8 μg/l respectively. Bromate in 27% samples was found to be higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline value of 10 μg/l, whereas chlorite and chlorate levels were well within the guideline value recommended by WHO. A good correlation between bromide and bromate (r=0.85) indicated formation of bromate from bromide present in drinking water. Health risks (carcinogenic risk and hazard quotient) associated with ingestion of bromate, chlorite and chlorate present in packaged drinking water are presented and discussed.Keywords

Toxic effects of spent wash and crop field soil irrigated with it (hereafter referred to as distillery soil) were examined on 6 species of plants (2 cereals and 4 aquatic macrophytes) and 3 animals (cladoceran, fish and albino mice) by short-term bioassays using end point growth responses and mortality respectively. Seedling emergence was found nil (rice) to low (wheat = 30-40%) in distillery soil, but increased (48-00%) proportionately alongwith their vigor after mixing garden soil. In contrast to distillery soil, toxic effects of even cent percent soil leachate were nil on seed germination while meager (10- 15%) on seedling vigor in both the cereals. Spent wash, however, decreased germination and seedling vigor in both rice (germination = 5-100%; vigor = 2-100%) and wheat (germination = 0-64%; vigor = nil-93%) with an increase in its concentration, though vigor was greater (43%) than control in wheat at 10%. Among aquatic macrophytes, free-floating species (Lemna aequinoctialis and Spirodela polyrrhiza) were found to bemore sensitive than the submerged (Ceratophyllum demersum and Hydrilla verticillata) for spent wash; Lemna being the most sensitive species.
During a detailed study, sensitivity of different test organisms to spent wash (in terms of their EC/LC50 values) was in the order of: Daphnia (EC50 = 0.68%) > Gambusia affinis (LC50 = 1.31%) > Lemna (EC50 = 0.8-6.97%) indicating water flea to be the most sensitive test organism. The toxicity of soil leachate was, however, very low to these test organisms (Gambusia: LC50 = 12.1%; Lemna: EC50 = 46.5-278%) as also noted for cereals. The spent wash exposure not only decreased RBC counts (58-69%) in fish but also altered their morphology (77-97%).
Both food (7-14%) and water (27-45%) intake of albino mice (male) declined in soil leachate treatments (5-20%) alongwith their body (8-17%) and reproductive organ weights (4-63%), except that of prostrate gland weight increasing between 12% and 37%. The sperm counts (78-89%) and their motility (14-23%) also decreased in leachate treatments. Higher toxicity of spent wash may be ascribed to its greater conductivity (32.7mS), COD (54,900ppm) and chlorides (62,00ppm) than the soil leachate (EC = 3.56mS; COD = 2290ppm; chlorides = 220ppm).

The acid value is the number of mg of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the free acid in 1 g of the substance. The acid value is measure of the breakdown of the triacylglycrols into free fatty acids, which has an adverse effect. On account of oxidation of any substance get spoil and decrease the good quality of that substance, oxidation of any substance get increase the acid value. Similarly if oil oxidized its shows high acid value In good oil, the acid value should be very low (< 0.1). The increase in acid value should be taken as an indicator of oxidation of oil which may lead to gum and sludge formation besides corrosion.Keywords

Lester S. Hill in 1929 introduced non-singular matrices to encrypt and decrypt the message in the symmetric key cryptography. Block ciphers designing and cryptographic hash functions have the use of matrices. Here, we introduce permutations, iterations and finite field in the Hill cipher to provide more security and make it free from vulnerable attacks.Keywords

The early season attack of Chilo partellus, in kharif sown fodder maize inflicts appreciable losses, if unchecked. Biointensive management with the use of egg parasitoid Trichogramma chilonis Ishii in fodder maize through different doses and release rate was standardized. The results of the trials from two years showed that damage parameters like Leaf Injury (LI), recorded three weeks after parasitoid release from 0.25-6.00 per cent across different treatments whereas in untreated control it was 6.50-13.25 %, respectively. Similarly the observations on percent DH patterns in different treatments varied from 0.62-3.75 % as compared to control (5.50-9.0 %). Furthermore, the per cent reduction in damage was substantially low with the second inundative release of the parasitoid than plots receiving a single release of bio-agent at a given dose. The proportion of DH recorded at three weeks after release was significantly lower (1.0 and 0.62%) in plots with t-cards @ 125,000 parasitized eggs in two releases as compared with other treatments. Additionally the green fodder yield obtained in promising treatment was statistically superior (445 q ha-1) to 392 q ha-1 GFY as recorded in the untreated control and other lower dose treatments except the plots receiving the highest dose of parasitoid release (450q ha-1). Thus the results suggested that field release of T. chilonis @ 125,000 parasitoids per hectare in two releases helps in substantial reduction of C. partellus inflicted damage with high economic returns.Keywords

A study was conducted to estimate nitrate content in commonly used fodder crops, viz., berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum), bajra (Pennisetum glaucum), maize (Zea mays), oats (Avena sativa), sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) and toriya (Brassica napus), collected from the fields of different villages of Punjab and farms of the university, and to evaluate the factors associated with nitrate accumulation in these crops. The nitrate level was highest in sorghum on dry matter basis, followed by oats and toriya, berseem, maize and bajra. The nitrate content was also determined in fodder samples harvested from young and mature stages and in different parts of plants. The stem part of forages had higher content than leaves; however, concentrations were low in mature crops as compared to immature ones. The environmental and soil factors associated with it are discussed and correlated with the experimental findings.Keywords

A constructive approach is applied to obtain the interpretations of two mock theta functions of order five and four of order six using two-line arrays for (n + t)–color partitions. Interpretations of four mock theta functions are obtained by attaching weights to the partitions generated by their unsigned versions. Further, mappings are established to obtain the interpretations of the same mock theta functions in terms of F–partitions.References

The management of Spodoptera litura by entomopathogenic Nucleopolyhedrosis Viruses (NPVs) is one of the eco-friendly methods. The present study was aimed to evaluate Nucleopolyhedrosis Virus (NPV) against S. litura and its potential as a bio-pesticide. The Occlusion Bodies (OBs) of S. litura nucleopolyhedrosis virus was isolated from infected larvae collected from cabbage field. Pathogenicity studies evaluated three NPV suspensions viz. SpltNPV-native, SpltNPV-commercial and SpltNPV-NIPHM against second and fourth instar larvae of S. litura recorded maximum mortality at 1×109 OBs/ml. The LC50 values of the SpltNPV-native, SpltNPV-commercial and SpltNPV-NIPHM suspensions against second instar larvae were 0.584, 0.540, 0.625 OBs/mm2 , respectively, which increased to 0.696, 0.620, 0.756 OBs/mm2 against the fourth instar larvae. The LT50 at 1×109 OBs/ml was found to increase from 146.33, 137.51 and 155.88 h for SpltNPV-native, SpltNPV-commercial and SpltNPV-NIPHM suspension, respectively, against the second instar larvae to 178.51, 162.07 and 187.67 h, respectively, against the fourth instar larvae. The cumulative per cent mortality, LC50 and LT50 suggested that the second instar larvae were more susceptible and easier to kill than the fourth instar larvae.Keywords
