Abstract

The p + p (proton + proton) collisions are important to understand particle production mechanism in partonic collisions and are also used as baseline for heavy ion collisions. We present systematic study of meson spectra in p + p collisions at LHC energies (&#8730;s = 0.9, 2.76 and 7.0 TeV). We also studied the transverse mass (m<SUB>T</SUB>) spectra of pion and kaon for p + p collisions at all above mentioned energies. In an earlier study [1], it was shown that all the mesons produced in p + p and d + Au collisions at &#8730;s<SUB>NN</SUB> = 200 GeV follow m<SUB>T</SUB> scaling while in Au + Au collisions at same energy the mesons with strange and charm quark contents do not follow m<SUB>T</SUB> scaling which can be attributed to medium modifications. Here we fit all pion spectra with Hagedorn distribution and extract all the output parameters from the fitting. Then we fit kaon spectra using m<SUB>T</SUB> scaling with the help of those extracted fitting parameters along with a normalizing factor. We observed that m<SUB>T</SUB> scaling in case of kaon is valid in p + p collisions at LHC energies. The normalizing factor of kaon with respect to pion (K/&#960;) is almost constant in all energies . This study is important for the observation of strangeness enhancement in heavy ion collisions, which is an important probe of quark gluon plasma (QGP). It is also used as a baseline for the study of medium modifications in heavy ion collisions. Kaon spectra provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavor and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM).

Abstract

An Influence of different culture media containing host extract as substrate on hyphal growth and sporulation of Metarhizium was evaluated in laboratory studied. The minimum average of 5.6 days was required for the sporulation of the fungus in Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA) medium supplemented with host extract (Pyrilla nymph/adult), where as in Emerson YPSS medium it was 7.3 days. The SDA medium in combination of host extract of the insect was found significantly superior over the other entire medium tested. Radial growth of 4.03 cm at days after inoculation (DAI) was observed in SDA medium supplemented with insect extract followed by SDA alone and Emerson YPSS medium with radial growth of 3.5 and 3.01 cm, respectively.

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common in elderly males. However, benign mesenchymal tumors, especially pure leiomyoma, are rare in prostate. The diagnosis of is important because of the potential of malignancy in such cases, histopathology is only tool to diagnose and to rule out the malignant changes. Here we report the case of pure leimyoma prostate diagnosed on sonography as benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Abstract

The article deals with the plants used by the Padaris a hill community of Padar, bodering the states of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. The inhabitants being cut off from the modern society for most part of the year due to lack of proper communication, have been dependent on vegetal resources. However, the age old traditional cultural pattern is being gradually modified due to the influence of neighbouring urban centres like kishtwar in J & K and Pangi valley in Himachal Pradesh. Apart from the common uses of plants for food, fodder and medicine, this region is also known for witchcrafts using many plants. Ethnobotanical data on 68 species, 38 of which are used as food, 24 as ethnomedicinals and 6 in magico-religious lore are presented.

Abstract

A recent innovation in dentistry is the preparation and use of platelet rich plasma, a concentration of platelets and growth factors found in platelets. These polypeptide growth factors as well as other bioactive substances are released from platelets upon activation, which play a pivotal role in initiating and sustaining wound healing and tissue repair mechanism. In order to improve wound healing and bone regeneration, attempts were made to increase the concentration of wound healing initiating factors in the form of platelet concentrate. Platelet derived polypeptide growth factors as well as other bioactive substances are released from platelet upon activation which plays a pivotal role in initiating and sustaining wound healing and tissue repair mechanism. This article is an attempt to highlight the uses of Platelet rich plasma (PRP) in Oral&Maxillofacial Surgery and the preparation of PRP gel in the immediate preoperative period in a laboratory centrifuge.

Solitary plasmacytoma is a rare condition affecting the jaws which manifests itself as a single osteolytic lesion without plasmocytosis of bone marrow and constitutes approximately 3% of all plasma containing tumors. It is different from multiple myeloma in terms of its clinical behaviour and prognosis. The most common clinical presentation is local bone pain and lesion on alveolar ridge and affects mandible frequently than maxilla. We report a rare case of solitary plasmacytoma of mandible, diagnosed on the basis of distinct radiological and histopathological findings, that has been treated by subtotal hemimandibulectomy. The review of literature concerning clinical, histological and radiological features, as well as the proper management concerning this tumour is included.

Abstract

Pharmacovigilance is the pharmacological science relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects, particularly long term and short term side effects of medicines. It is the science of collecting, monitoring, researching, assessing and evaluating information from healthcare providers and patients on the adverse effects of medications, biological products, herbalism and traditional medicines with a view to:

Identifying new information about hazards associated with medicines Preventing harm to patients.

Phase IV of the evaluation of a drug starts when the marketing license is granted and extends over many years. It consists of pharmacoepidemiological studies to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and utilization of the drug in large populations, under real-life conditions. The results confirm or disprove the effectiveness of the drug in clinical practice (confirmation of the therapeutic effect), determine whether approved uses should be expanded or restricted, any untoward interactions (pharmacovigilance) and pharmacoeconomics of the drugs.

Abstract

Durrie-weaving in rural Haryana though has a seal of social approval, no longer offers any incentive for attainment of creative element and professional efficiency The survival of this textile heritage is threatened by the modern mechanized and commercialized methods of producing durries. Decorative techniques like embroidery have been contributing to the adornment of textile materials in Haryana since long. If woven durrie designs are complemented with such decorative techniques, for which the villagers are already skilled, this traditional art will get a new face. Therefore, this art of rural Haryana call for special attention to make it a marketable commodity, in other forms such as mats, bags, belts and cushion materials, with various styles of embellishment. Keeping these facts in mind a study was conducted to know the embellishment techniques preferences of consumer for diversified durrie products. It is concluded that the consumers had high  opinion about the embellishment techniques as these helped  in breaking the monotony of woven products and provided variation to existing techniques. However when the cost of prepared diversified products with different techniques was compared, it was found that diversified products prepared with painting techniques was lowest followed by machine embroidery and hand embroidery.

Abstract

Physical property of control and treated samples were tested to analyze the effect of karanja extracts on the samples. The fabric samples were conditioned. Samples were cut from scoured cotton fabric with 54 warp yarns (ends) and weft yarns (picks) per inch were (ASTM 123 test method) and sample size were 2" x2". The tests were performed for different types of samples viz. control (scoured), samples treated with leaves and seed extracts in viscous and dry state; and samples treated with an antiseptic containing chloroxylenol. The samples were subjected to test for bulk (cm3/gm) physical property test. It was concluded that as the concentration of extract increased, bulk of all treated samples (including standard) also increased significantly. A significant percentage increase in bulk was observed in all treated samples as compared to the control sample at 1% level of significance.

Abstract

The modern day woman faces various psychosocial barriers to breastfeeding, in addition to the emotional and physical to assess clothing requirements of lactating mothers. The identified clothing requirements were incorporated in garment challenges. There is great potential for the development and improvement of apparel for breastfeeding mothers. The aim of this study was to design and develop functional clothing for a lactating woman. A questionnaire was developed for personal interview designs. After designing preference was taken by lactating mothers and top six preferred designs were constructed and given to the lactating women for wear trial. The related data highlights that design 1 with jacket was ranked 1^st on overall basis (4.68) followed by design 3 having side pleat (Rank II, 4.59), design 2 with horizontal opening (Rank III, 4.47) and design 6 with yoke (Rank IV, 4.32). Design 6 with princess line and 4 with centre long front opening having average mean score 4.20 and 4.13, respectively were assessed next in their rank orders. It can be concluded from the data that subject was satisfied with the functional designs. This type of designing and construction of functional clothing can boost up the confidence of lactating mothers to breastfeed in the public places and thus ultimately breaking psychosocial barriers to breastfeeding and also enhance psychological comfort by lifting their self esteem.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine physical property of control and treated samples were tested to analyze the effect of Karanja extracts on the samples. The fabric samples were conditioned. Samples were cut from scoured cotton fabric with 54 warp yarns (ends) and weft yarns (picks) per inch were (ASTM 123 test method). The tests were performed for different types of samples viz., control (scoured), samples treated with leaves and seed extracts in viscous and dry state; and samples treated with an antiseptic containing chloroxylenol. The samples were subjected to tests for weight per unit area (g/m²) physical property test. It was concluded that as the concentration of extract increased, significant increase at 1% level of significance was observed in all treated samples except SDLP. This may be due to the fact that increase in concentration of Karanja extract, lead to absorption of more amount of extract by the sample.

Abstract

In the era of Anthropocene, characterized by a dramatic increase in anthropogenic pressure, global changes are challenging the capacity of planet Earth to sustain the development of human societies in the long term. In the past two decades, this concern has fostered worldwide efforts to develop integrated studies of the ‘critical zone’ (CZ), the outer skin of the Earth, extending from the canopy top to the bottom of the aquifer, hosting the continental biosphere and providing basic human needs such as water, food, energy and ecosystem services¹ . Environmental processes within the CZ, such as energy and mass exchange, formation of soil, streamflow and evolution of landscape are critical to sustain biodiversity as well as humanity ^2,3 . However, with rapid socio-economic development, the CZ is subjected to increasing stress from anthropogenic forcings such as the growth in human and livestock populations, increase in land use, global environmental changes, and expanding consumption patterns⁴ . The expanding needs for sustainable development call for understanding, predicting and managing the complexity as well as dynamics within the CZ and to study its feedback with other compartments of the environmental systems^5,6 . The main challenge faced by the CZ research is to integrate effectively the multiple disciplines at stake, from geosciences, biological sciences, ecology, hydrology, soil science to social sciences, working within a wide range of temporal and spatial scales^7,8 . The interdisciplinary and multiscale study of terrestrial ecosystem processes can be best addressed by critical zone observatories (CZOs), where domain experts across different disciplines study various aspects of the CZ. This will lead to holistic understanding of complex systems 8 .
