This study is aimed at the optimization of calcined termite mound material incorporated in mortar and concrete using Response Surfaces Methodology (RSM). The calcined termite mound material substituting cement in mortar and concrete varied from 5 to 15% at interval of 5% in mortar and concrete. Sikament NN was added from 1.0 to 3.0 at interval of 1.0. Test conducted on mortar were: consistency and setting times. For concrete, specimens were cast and tested to failure for all the mixes for curing periods of 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90 days. Modelling and optimization were carried out using Design-Expert software version 11.0 with CTM (5%, 10% and 15%) and Sikament NN (1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0%) levels taking as the input variables. The output responses for mortar were consistency, setting times, on concrete compressive strength test after 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90days curing. Comparison was made to the performance of CTM blended mortar and concrete with controls mortar and concrete in terms of consistency, setting times and in concrete compressive strengths. Results from analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicate that both CTM and Sikament are influential variable in the developed models and all the RSM models are statistically significant in all the factor levels. The optimum mix for mortar was obtained by addition of 2.09 % Sikament NN and 5% CTM replacement with 0.871 desirability.

Published: February 2023

Pasture productivity in the Mediterranean region depends mainly on the soil water deficit. Subterranean clover originates from the Mediterranean region and is adapted to areas with hot and dry summers. The response of Subclover to drought was studied in greenhouse and subjected to three soils - water levels: 100% (control), 50 and 25% of field capacity (FC). After 70 days of water deficit treatment, our results showed that increasing levels of water constraint resulted in a progressive decline in the different growth parameters (shoot and root dry matter (DM) height, leaf area, shoot and root (DM)) and those of water content and leaf chlorophyll concentration. At the limited irrigation, Trifolium subterraneum L. showed smaller decreases in plant height and leaf area. Despite, limited irrigation increased the root to shoot ratio of DM. Thus, it shows better adaptation and a more balanced water balance. Findings of this study suggest that subterranean clover used avoidance mechanisms to withstand drought.

Phlomis crinita Cav., is a Lamiaceae very widespread in the North-West of Algeria (Chlef), but very little studied on the chemical and pharmacological levels; for this, a phytochemical screening, then a dosage of total phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoids (TFL) and condensed tannins (TCN) obtained by (02) methods (reflux and ultrasonic bath), followed by an evaluation of antibacterial activities and antioxidants, were carried out on (03) fractions: chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The n-butanol extract (reflux) gives the best contents of total phenolic compounds (TTPC= 15.96 ± 0.09 ug Eq. Catechin / mg of extract), The acetate ethyl extract (reflux) gives the best contents of total flavonoids (TTFL = 33.98 ± 4.98 ug Eq. Rutin / mg of extract), and the chloroform extract (reflux) is richer on condensed tannins (TTCN= 757.67 ± 14.32 ug Eq. Catechin / mg of extract). The antibacterial activity of the extracts was slightly positive against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. On the other hand, no antibacterial activity was observed against strains of Escherichia coli. The chloroform and n-butanol (reflux) extracts showed a strong ability to scavenge the DPPH radical comparable to that of ascorbic acid (IC50 Chloroform Ext. = 79.99 ± 1.48 ug/ml; IC50 n-Butanol Ext. = 94.96 ± 1.70 ug/ml and IC50 Ethyl Acetate Ext. = 588.68 ± 10.88 ug/ml versus IC50vit C = 55.26 ± 1.01 ug/ml).

Published: February 2023

The tea mosquito bug (TMB), Helopeltis theivora (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a polyphagous pest causing serious economic loss in tea plantations of north east India. The push-pull companion cropping system can be used as a component of integrated pest management system to control the pest. We examined the host plant choice of H. theivora for Duranta erecta (Lamiales: Verbenaceae), Senna tora (Fabale: Fabaceae), Lawsonia inermis (Myrtales: Lythraceae), Psidium guajava (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) and Melastoma malabathricum (Myrtales: Melastomataceae) including the primary host, Camellia sinensis (Ericales: Theaceae) using two-choice olfactometric bioassay. The growth index and relative growth index of H. theivora were calculated for different host plants. H. theivora preferred the odor released from the mechanically damaged leaves of C. sinensis and P. guajava. The further study on biochemical constituents of all the host plants reflected the role of soluble sugar, total flavonoids and terpenoids as cues for host preference by H. theivora which indicate a scope for electroantennographic assessment in future. The information generated for P. guajava preference can be utilized in trap cropping or trap formulating approaches for management of H. theivora.

Published: February 2023

In today’s world, the personality of a person is first assessed by his looks and the beauty of the face is the prime attraction. Beauty of the face creates a sense of pleasure to sight. Although the beauty of face is important to all but it is of prime concern to adolescents. Yuvan Pidika is one such disease illustrated in Ayurveda which affects the beauty of face. This disease has been described under kshudraroga in many classical texts. Yuvan Pidika is characterized by symptoms like swelling, pain, redness, itching etc. caused due to vitiation of Kapha, Vata, Rakta dosha. Yuvan Pidika can be correlated with Acne Vulgaris in modern science. Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous follicles affecting 85% of teenagers and thus causing a great harm to psycho-social development of youth in this era. Thus, an attempt has been made to explain cause, expression and management of Yuvan Pidika in ayurvedic perspective.
CP-MLR/PLS directed quantitative structure-activity relationship study on the histamine H3 receptor binding affinity: The cyclohexylamine based series
Authors: Shahista Chuhann  , Brij Kishore Sharma
Published: February 2023

The histamine H3 receptor binding affinities of cyclohexylamine derivatives has been analysed with the topological and molecular features from Dragon software. Analysis of the structural features in conjunction with the biological endpoints in combinatorial protocol in multiple linear regression (CP-MLR) led to the identification of 26 descriptors for modelling the activity. The study clearly suggested the role of atomic properties such as mass, electronegativity or charge content, polarizability, atomic van der Waals volume, average valence connectivity index chi-5 and absence of number of acceptor atoms for H-bonds (N, O, F) type functionality to optimise the histamine H3 receptor binding affinity of titled compounds. The models developed and the participating descriptors advocate that the substituent groups of the cylohexylamine moiety hold scope for further modification in the optimization of the H3 receptor binding affinity. Analysis of these descriptors in partial least squares (PLS) highlighted their relative significance in modulating the biological response. The selected descriptors are enriched with information corresponding to the activity when compared to the remaining ones. Applicability domain analysis revealed that the suggested model matches the high quality parameters with good fitting power and the capability of assessing external data and all of the compounds was within the applicability domain of the proposed model and were evaluated correctly.
