In this study, Mitragyna parvifolia plant bark used to prepare aqueous extract which provides cost-effective, eco-friendly process, less time consuming, an environmentally benign, easy and proficient way for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. Mitragyna parvifolia plant bark was collected from Virpur hills forest area. The Mitragyna parvifolia plant bark extract was prepared with deionised water and used for the green synthesis of copper nanoparticles. The colour change of the solution dark brown from pale yellow colour confirms the formation of copper nanoparticles. The green synthesised copper nanoparticles were characterised by UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM and their antimicrobial activity was also investigated. UV-visible spectral result confirmed the reduction of copper sulphate to copper nanoparticles. FTIR analysis also supported for the formation of copper nanoparticles. Crystallinity of Cu NPs was find out by XRD study and the morphology of the particles was analysed with the help of scanning electron microscopy and found spherical in nature. The antibacterial activity experiment done against Escherichia coli, gram-negative and Bacillus subtilis, gram-positive bacteria by agar well method and the maximum zone of inhibition was higher in gram-positive bacteria compared to gram-negative bacteria.

Published: August 2018

In the present work, solution based simple chemical precipitation method has been employed to prepare undoped, cobalt (Co)-doped and cobalt, nickel (Co, Ni) co-doped ZnS quantum dots (QDs). The XRD pattern revealed that all samples displayed cubic zinc blende structure. The average crystallite size of as prepared ZnS QDs were found to be in 1.0 to 1.4 nm range. Surface morphological of synthesized samples were recorded and some distinction in morphological features between undoped, doped and co-doped ZnS QDs were noticed. EDX analysis confirms the presence of all corresponding elements in the samples. The blue-shift in the absorption spectra was observed. The optical band gap energy (Eg) for all the hybrid ZnS QDs samples were evaluated by using UV-Visible optical absorption spectral data. In PL analysis, emission band at 660 nm was found to be quenched as ZnS QDs interact with dopant and co-dopant. Electrochemical analysis was carried out by transition of photogenerated electrons in undoped, cobalt (Co)-doped and cobalt, nickel (Co, Ni) co-doped ZnS QDs modified glassy carbon electrodes. To authenticate the results of PL and electrochemical studies, photocatalytic behaviour of QDs were studied and positive impact of doping and co-doping process on photo degradation were noticed and discussed.
The Professional Challenges Facing General Psychologists
Authors: Charles Eric P.
Published: August 2018

Working towards a general psychology presents the usual challenges one would expect from an intellectual pursuit, and there is no way around that. However, it also presents a host of professional challenges not faced by those who choose a more narrow specialization, and there is the possibility of reducing that additional hurdle. An effort needs to be made to provide generalists with something akin to the institutional infrastructure that facilitates the careers of specialists. The professional difficulties faced by people pursuing careers as generalists is as big of an obstacle to our achieving a general psychology as are any of the difficulties in creating comprehensive theory.

Published: August 2018

В качестве полимера-носителя доксорубицина для направленного транспорта выбран поли-трет-бутилметакрилат (ПТБМА). Выбор связан с возможностью гидролиза с образованием водорастворимых полимеров. Использовали реакцию переноса цепи на тио-гликолевую кислоту. Концентрацию тиогликолевой кислоты выбрали равной 1 масс. %, при которой получали полимер с оптимальными биосовместимыми характеристиками (молекулярная масса ≈ 12 кДа, индекс полидисперсности Mw/Mn ≈ 1,5). Проводили химическую модификацию полимера фолатным вектором. Полученный полимер превращали кислотным гидролизом в водорастворимый сополимер. Затем получили конъюгат доксорубицина (DOX) с сополимером трет-бутилметакрилата — сополимером трет-бутилметакрилата – метакриловой кислоты, модифицированный фолатным вектором по карбоксильным концевым группам. Степень связывания с полимерным DOX составляла (62,7 ± 11,8) %. Выделение DOX из полимерной системы происходит почти в 3 раза быстрее при рН 4,6, чем при рН 7,4. Цитотоксичность полимерного конъюгата составляла 1,52 мкМ.

Published: August 2018

Проанализировано накопление инулина в высушенных корневищах с корнями эхинацеи пурпурной, выращенной в условиях Нечернозёмной зоны РФ в 2008 – 2010 гг. в зависимости от возраста растений (2, 3, 4, 5, 7 гг. вегетации) и сроков удаления надземной части (в фенологические фазы стеблевания, бутонизации, цветения и многократно в течение вегетационного периода). Изучено также содержание инулина в настойках из этого вида сырья на 40 и 70 % этаноле с различным размером частиц, проходящих сквозь сито с размером отверстий 0,1; 0,5 и 1 мм. Максимальное достоверное накопление инулина в сырье в 2008 и 2009 гг. наблюдалось при многократном удалении побегов, а в 2010 г. — при срезке надземной части в фазу стеблевания. С увеличением возраста производящих растений до 7 года вегетации содержание инулина в сырье существенно уменьшалось. Настойка на 40 % этаноле содержит гораздо больше инулина, чем на 70 %, т.к. это водорастворимый полифруктан. Наибольшее количество инулина извлекалось при размере частиц сырья 1 мм. В шроте оставалось около 10 % инулина, что делает возможным его дальнейшее использование.

Published: August 2018

Изучены механические свойства желатиновой ленты и реология желатиновой массы при производстве мягких желатиновых капсул. Результаты свидетельствуют о том, что для сохранения прочности и эластичности оболочки капсулы во время производственного процесса и хранения модуль Юнга желатиновый ленты должен находиться в интервале 35 – 50 МПа, удлинение при разрыве — 210 – 240 %, предел прочности 8 – 9 МПа. Также установлено, что регенерированная желатиновая масса теряет свои структурно-механические свойства, в частности прочность и пластичность, что может привести к разрыву оболочки капсул во время хранения и сушки.

Изучено влияние 4,4’-(пропандиамидо)дибензоата натрия (малобен) и метформина на динамику апоптоза и пролиферации гепатоцитов у линейных мышей balb/c и db/db. Установлено, что развитие ожирения и сахарного диабета у мышей линии db/db сопровождается повышением уровня апоптоза в гепатоцитах при уменьшении их пролиферативной активности. Ежедневное внутрижелудочное применение в течение 30 дней метформина (300 мг/кг) или малобена (10 мг/кг) у мышей обеих линий уменьшает выраженность апоптотических изменений в гепатоцитах в среднем на 79,18 и 61,54 %, p < 0,05 (группа мышей balb/c и db/db, получавших метформин, соответственно), и 52,79 и 63,3 %, p < 0,05 (группа мышей balb/c и db/db, получавших малобен, соответственно). Отмечено стимулирующее влияние малобена на пролиферативную активность гепатоцитов у мышей линии db/db в среднем на 9,68 %, p < 0,05.

Сравнительное изучение влияния 5-гидроксиадамантан-2-она, нимодипина и S-амлодипина никотината на мозговое кровообращение крыс выявило существенные различия в их цереброваскулярных эффектах. Так, 5-гидроксиадамантан-2-он с ГАМК-ергическим механизмом действия и блокатор медленных кальциевых каналов нимодипин вызывают выраженное усиление кровоснабжения мозга в условиях глобальной преходящей ишемии. Их цереброваскулярная активность при моделировании геморрагического инсульта значительно слабее. S-амлодипина никотинат в одинаковой степени улучшает мозговое кровообращение при геморрагическом и ишемическом поражениях мозга, т.е. цереброваскулярный эффект S-амлодипина никотината на модели геморрагического инсульта превосходит действие нимодипина и 5-гидроксиадамантан-2-она. Это обусловлено двухкомпонентным механизмом сосудорасширяющего действия препарата на церебральные сосуды — блокадой медленных кальциевых каналов и стимуляцией ГАМКА-рецепторов.

Genetic association study of PDLIM5 and HTR2A variants in Malaysian subjects diagnosed with bipolar disorder; a genetic modelling approach
Authors: Zain Mohd Aizat , Zainal Nor Zuraida , Kanagasundram Sharmilla , Mohamed Zahurin
Published: August 2018

Genetic hereditary has been implicated in bipolar disorder pathogenesis. The PDLIM5 and HTR2A genes have been investigated for its association with bipolar disorder in various populations, however, the results have been conflicting. In this study, we investigate the association between bipolar disorder and the two genes of interest, PDLIM5 and HTR2A genes. We recruited 253 bipolar disorder patients (75 Malays, 104 Chinese, and 74 Indians) and 505 control individuals (198 Malays, 155 Chinese, and 152 Indians) from three ethnic groups within Malaysian population. We genotyped for 3 SNPs of the PDLIM5 (rs2433320, rs2433322 and rs2438146) and 3 SNPs of the HTR2A (rs6313, rs2070040 and rs6311). Significant associations between bipolar disorder and each of the 3 SNPs of PDLIM5 in Malays, Indians and pooled samples. However, only rs2438146 remains significant in the Malays as co-dominant (T/T vs. C/C, p=0.004, OR=0.128, 95%CI=0.031-0.524) and recessive genetic models (T/T vs. C/T+C/C, p=0.003, OR=0.122, 95%CI=0.030-0.494) after applying conservative Bonferroni correction. Haplotype analysis of 3 SNPs of PDLIM5 also showed a significant association with bipolar disorder. No association was observed between bipolar disorder and each of the 3 SNPs of HTR2A in any of the ethnicities. We conclude that PDLIM5 polymorphisms are associated with bipolar disorder in the pooled analysis. After stratification to different ethnic groups, the association remains significant in the Malay and Indian groups. The association is also supported by the significant association in haplotype analysis of PDLIM5. We also conclude there is no association between the HTR2A polymorphisms in the Malaysian population.

The Ptolemaic Oinochoai: A Reassessment
Authors: Waraksa Elizabeth A.
Published: August 2018

[Unpublished; Main text last updated July 2014; URLs in footnotes updated July 2018 where possible] In reconsidering the multimedia nature, royal iconography, inscriptions, and pan-Mediterranean findspots of the Ptolemaic oinochoai, it is asserted here that the vessels served two primary and complementary functions during their object lives: they were vessels of propaganda and vessels of prestige. As vessels of propaganda, the faience oinochoai functioned as one of many material efforts initiated by the Ptolemies to radiate wealth and power throughout their sphere of influence. Based on the provenance of the “Queens’ Vases,” especially the extra-Alexandrian examples, and their overall adornment and iconography, the owners are here suggested to be the mobile, upper-class elite of the Ptolemaic court, a group including, but not limited to, the eponymous priests of Alexander and the deified Ptolemies and the priestesses of Arsinoe Philadelphus at Alexandria, a number of whom were also upper-level military officers or the daughters of military officers. As vessels of prestige, the oinochoai were likely gifted or otherwise supplied to these functionaries by the royal house, and then displayed and/or used in cult rituals during the owner’s lifetime, acting as visual signals of his or her proximity and loyalty to the Ptolemies. Finally, the vessels were buried with their owners as grave goods, thus ensuring that the prestige of the item was retained by the social group to which they were bestowed
Measuring biases of visual attention: A comparison of 4 tasks
Authors: Sigurjonsdottir Olafia , Bjornsson Andri S , Wessman Inga , Kristjansson Arni
Published: August 2018

Observers typically attend preferentially to stimuli with emotional content over emotionally neutral ones. For some this attentional pull is abnormally strong, and such attention biases may play a role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders. The assessment of potential biases is constrained by measurement methods. The tasks most commonly used to measure preferential attentional orienting to emotional stimuli, the dot-probe and spatial cueing tasks, have yielded mixed results. We assessed the sensitivity of 4 visual attention tasks (dot-probe, spatial cueing, visual search with irrelevant distractor and attentional blink tasks) to differences in attentional processing between threatening and neutral faces in 33 outpatients with a primary diagnosis of social anxiety disorder (SAD) and 26 healthy controls. The dot-probe and cueing tasks did not reveal any differential processing of neutral and threatening faces nor between the SAD and control groups. The irrelevant distractor task showed some sensitivity to differential processing of facial expression in the SAD group, but the attentional blink task was uniquely sensitive to such differences in both groups, and also revealed processing differences between the SAD and control groups. The attentional blink task revealed interesting temporal dynamics of attentional processing of emotional stimuli and may provide a uniquely nuanced picture of attentional response to emotional stimuli. The task may, therefore, be more suitable to measuring preferential attending to emotional stimuli and treating dysfunctional attention patterns than the more commonly used dot-probe and cueing tasks.

Factors associated with attitudes toward U.S. immigration, 2004–2016
Authors: Amaral Ernesto F. L. , Mitchell Paige , Marquez-Velarde Guadalupe
Published: August 2018

This study investigates demographic, socioeconomic, political, and contextual factors associated with attitudes toward U.S. immigration. We analyze cross-sectional data from the 2004–2016 General Social Survey and American Community Survey five-year estimates. Results from generalized ordered logit models suggest that support to immigration has been increasing over time. There is no difference by sex on attitudes toward immigration. Non-whites, those between 18 and 24 years of age, people with higher educational attainment, and non-Protestants are more likely to be pro-immigration. People working on sales, office, natural resources, construction, maintenance, production, transportation, material moving, and military occupations are less likely to support immigration. People living in the South Atlantic region are the least likely to support an increase in immigration. People who lived in areas at the age of 16 that tend to have higher proportions of foreign-born individuals are more likely to support immigration. People who self-classify as strong Democrats, Independents near Democrats, and in other parties are more likely to be in favor of an increase on the number of immigrants. People with more liberal political views are more likely to be in favor of immigration. People with lower levels of racial resentment have higher chances to be in favor of an increase in immigration. Opinion about immigration has stronger associations with racial resentment than with opinion about U.S. economic achievement. People who live in counties with higher proportions of college graduates and higher proportions of immigrants are more likely to be pro-immigration.

Pulau Maputi di Selat Makassar, Kabupaten Donggala, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah merupakan salah satu pulau yang memiliki nilai keanekaragaman hayati tinggi, antara lain sebagai tempat bertelur penyu hijau. Untuk mengetahui kondisi ekosistem di Pulau tersebut, pada tahun 2013 dilakukan penelitian survei, terutama survei ekosistem terumbu karang untuk penyusunan rekomendaksi kebijakan pengelolaan lestari termasuk upaya konservasi. Metode utama yang digunakan adalah Manta Tow dan Reef Check. Berdasarkan skala GCRMN hasil Manta Tow diketahui bahwa keberadaan terumbu karang berkisar dari kondisi Sangat Buruk (≈12%), Buruk (≈50%), Sedang (≈13%), dan Baik (≈25%). Terumbu karang pada bagian Barat Laut serta bagian Timur tepat di dekat lokasi bertelur penyu menarik sebagai lokasi SCUBA diving dan snorkelling. Hasil Reef Check pada dua lokasi tersebut diketahui bahwa penutupan karang keras berkisar 50-60% dan dinilai tepat sebagai kawasan konservasi atau zona inti. Tanda-tanda penangkapan ikan secara destruktif dan berbagai ancaman lain terhadap ekosistem karang teramati. Penyu masih bertelur pada dua lokasi pantai, yang juga memiliki potensi eko-wisata, namun dalam kondisi meprihatinkan, memerlukan pembersihan (perawatan) dan penjagaan penyu serta telurnya dari manusia maupun hewan peliharaan terutama anjing. Pemanfaatan biota langka dan dilindungi tergolong tinggi, sehingga memerlukan peningkatan kesadaran pada semua tingkat maupun penegakan hukum. Dari aspek kesejahteraan masyarakat, kebutuhan utama adalah penyediaan air bersih. Hasil penelitian diharapkan berguna bagi masyarakat, Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Donggala serta stakeholders lainnya dalam perencanaan pengelolaan lestari sumberdaya pesisir Pulau Maputi.

Published: August 2018

The Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni, Koumans 1933), often referred to as BCF, is a restricted range coral reef associated fish endemic to shallow waters (0-5m) around the Banggai Archipelago, Indonesia. Listed as "Endangered" in the IUCN Red-List, the international marine aquarium trade and habitat degradation are considered major threats. After the (unsuccessful) proposal for listing under CITES Appendix II in 2007, a national BCF Action Plan was developed. A District MPA was established by decree of the Banggai Kepulauan District Head, consisting of a network of 10 islands. For 2 of these P. kauderni conservation is the main management target. With no pelagic phase and high site fidelity, the Banggai cardinalfish population exhibits a level of genetic structure unusual in a marine fish. Several genetically distinct sub-populations have been identified, indicating that management units should be based on genetically determined sub-populations (stocks). Using available genetic and biogeographical data, the MPA network can be examined from the viewpoint of P. kauderni genetic diversity conservation, and critical knowledge gaps identified. A research programme is necessary for the identification of these units and the characterisation of each unit from biological (including genetic), ecological (e.g. habitat/micro-habitat) and socio-economic (including fishing ground) aspects. The data would be managed within a GIS database and spatial analysis tools such as MARXAN used to provide management support. In particular, science-based zoning options with management units/targets based on genetic population structure and the ability to evaluate the conservation effectiveness of options put forward by stakeholders.

Published: August 2018

In the marine realm restricted range endemic species are rare. One such species which has attractedmuch attention is the Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni, Koumans 1933), often referred to asBCF, a coral reef associated fish endemic to shallow waters (0-5m) around the Banggai Archipelago,Indonesia. As in most of the Coral Triangle, these coastal waters are under heavy pressure from avariety of anthropogenic impacts. Traded as a marine ornamental, the IUCN Red-List places P. kauderniin the “Endangered” category with overexploitation and habitat degradation as the major threats. Afterthe (unsuccessful) proposal for listing under CITES Appendix II in 2007, a national action plan (BCFAP)was developed and BCF conservation included in the Indonesian Coral Triangle Initiative NationalPlan of Action (CTI-NPOA). Monitoring is widely accepted as an integral part of effective management.The BCF-AP calls for biophysical and socio-economic monitoring of the Banggai cardinalfish trade,population and habitat to support the development of a sustainable ornamental fishery and ensure theconservation of the Banggai cardinalfish. Monitoring systems developed, activities undertaken anddata produced are reviewed. Trends revealed by the data include a marked increase in compliancewith current fish quarantine regulations, and other improvements in P. kauderni use patterns. Togetherwith recent research, the data also reveal the need for an especial focus on key micro-habitat, Diademaurchins and sea anemones, which are under pressure from increasingly intensive harvesting. Monitoringsystems are evaluated and suggestions for improving the usefulness and scope of monitoring activitiesare presented.
Development of the Chinese Odor Identification Test (COIT)
Authors: Peng Fei , Zou Laiquan
Published: August 2018

Olfactory dysfunction is an important early indicator for many neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Smell identification tests have been developed and widely used for olfaction function assessment. However, the test validity could be compromised when applying to different countries, as the results can be strongly influenced by personal experience with tested odors. To date, standardized smell identification test using common odors for mainland Chinese is yet to be established. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments, attempting to develop the first standardized odor identification test in mainland China. Chinese daily odor items were firstly pooled and selected by an online survey of 888 subjects, followed by odor recognition evaluation of 52 odorants among 95 individuals. The final odor identification test consists of 36 odor items, and we show that this test has reasonably good test-retest reliability and validity. This test could be an efficient measure for the impairment of smell senses among mainland Chinese.
Emotion Regulation Contagion: Stress Reappraisal Promotes Challenge Responses in Teammates
Authors: Oveis Christopher , Gu Yumeng , Ocampo Joseph Manuel Andrew , Hangen Emily J , Jamieson Jeremy
Published: August 2018

How does emotion regulation impact teammates? We present data from a dyadic experiment(N=266) that assessed in vivo stress responses in teammates during collaborative (a face-to-face product design task) and then individual work (a product pitch to evaluators). Throughout the experiment, one manipulated teammate reappraised their stress arousal (reappraisal), suppressed their emotional displays (suppression), or received no instructions (control). Their non- manipulated teammate received no instructions. Stress reappraisal benefited both teammates, eliciting challenge-like physiological responses (higher cardiac output, lower total peripheral resistance) relative to the suppression and control conditions. These effects were observed during both face-to-face collaborative work and later individual work. A mediation model suggests that the face-to-face social contagion effects of stress reappraisal fed forward to promote non- manipulated teammates’ improved stress responses during the individual performance task. These findings indicate that non-manipulated teammates exhibited improved stress responses simply by interacting with a person who reappraised their stress as functional.
Transcriptional Changes Before and After Forgetting of a Long-Term Sensitization Memory in Aplysia californica

Published: August 2018

This is a pre-print of a paper now published in Neurobiology of Learning and Memory: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nlm.2018.09.007 Most long-term memories are forgotten, becoming progressively less likely to be recalled. Still, some memory fragments may persist beyond forgetting, as savings memory (easier relearning) can persist long after recall has become impossible. What happens to a memory trace during forgetting that makes it inaccessible for recall and yet still effective to spark easier re-learning? We are addressing this question by tracking the transcriptional changes that accompany learning and then forgetting of a long-term sensitization memory in the tail-elicited siphon withdrawal reflex of Aplysia californica. First, we tracked savings memory. We found that even though recall of sensitization fades completely within 1 week of training, savings memory is still robustly expressed at 2 weeks post training. Next, we tracked the time-course of regulation of 11 transcripts we previously identified as potentially being regulated beyond the decay of recall. Remarkably, 3 transcripts still show strong regulation of expression 2 weeks after training and an additional 4 are regulated for at least 1 week. These long-lasting changes in gene expression always began early in the memory process, within 1 day of training. We present a synthesis of our results tracking gene expression changes accompanying sensitization and provide a testable model of how sensitization memory is forgotten.

First Class Rail in Switzerland: The effect of a two-tier ticket structure on energy use
Authors: Perdrisat Simon
Published: August 2018

This paper explores whether SBB can spare energy by renouncing its first class. SBB currently offers two classes on intercity trains. A first-class ticket is twice the price of the second-class ticket for the same travel. The first-class passenger cars have a lower number of seats and potentially different occupancy. Through different scenarios, we will analyse how this difference in price and seat density between the first and second classes can affect the energy consumption by people transported on the intercity line between Zurich and Geneva.
Self-efficacy of resilience as actor in the process of resilience from a network perspective.
Authors: Gimbrere Thomas
Published: August 2018

In this research the function of self efficacy of resilience in the resiliency of individuals is examined using network analysis. Forty-eight participants participated and filled in a questionnaire three times a day for a period of two weeks. Next, a networkanalysis was succesfully performed although big individual differences were found. Individual networks were estimated as well as multi-level networks, made possible by the high response rate. Self efficacy of resilience showed positive correlations with positive emotions and showed negative correlations with negative emotions in multiple networks. These findings indicated self efficacy of resilience as a possible factor of resilience. Also it was concluded that networkanalysis is an analytical method with a high potential in psychological research.
Upper Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene Plant Microfossils from The Basal Part of the Lukundol Formation (Southern Kathmandu Valley) and Their Climatic Implications

The Late Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine sediments of the Lukundol Formation distributed in the southern part of the Kathmandu Basin, consists of various fossils of flora and fauna which are very useful proxies to reconstruct the past climate. Twenty seven samples were collected for palynological study from different beds of the Lukundol Formation exposed in the Pharsidol area due to recent road cut. The exposure is about 100 m thick. The study revealed the dominance of gymnosperms over angiosperm plants. On the basis of the pollen assemblage, the Lukundol Formation could be divided into three different pollen zones namely PD-I, PD-II and PD-III. The variation in the climate observed in these three zones indicates that the climate of the Kathmandu valley during the deposition of the Lukundol Formation was not uniform. The climate had been warmer in the lower and upper zones while colder in the middle zone than today. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp: 71-81
SEED MYCOFLORA OF Lens culinaris MEDDIK. FROM DIFFERENT STORAGE CONDITIONS AND IN-VITRO INHIBITION USING PLANT EXTRACTS
Authors: Chhetri Roshan , Jha Sanjay Kumar
Published: August 2018

Nine hundred sixty seeds of lentils (Lens culinaris) from three different storage sources were tested for seed fungi using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and Blotter technique. Thirty five different fungi were isolated, PDA method being better than Blotter technique. Seeds from traditional village storage were found to be more infested with fungi than source local market and source Nepal Agricultural Research Centre (NARC). The fungal infestation on seeds from village storage was 49.37%, source NARC was 44.37% and source local market was 30.31%. Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium chrysogenum and Fusarium oxysporum were the fungi having higher incidence and frequency. Surface disinfection by 2% NaOCl reduced the fungal incidence and frequency. The aqueous extract of three plants viz, Ageratum houstonianum, Eclipta prostrata and Vitex negundo at 25%, 50% and 100% concentration were assessed in-vitro for antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Chaetomium funicola and Fusarium oxysporum. Among these fungi, Alternaria alternata was best controlled by Ageratum houstonianum; Aspergillus niger by Eclipta prostrata; Fusarium oxysporum by Vitex negundo and Ageratum houstonianum. The inhibition increased from lower concentration (25%) to higher (100%).ECOPRINT 23: 19-27, 2016

Published: August 2018

The paper deals with evaluation of magnitude of changes in chlorophyll concentration, chlorophyll density and relationship of chlorophyll density with net primary productivity of mixed winter crop (wheat and mustard) community at Gujar lake margin in the district Jaunpur (U.P.). The chlorophyll concentration of each component of crops, dominant weed Cynodon dactylon (Linn.) Pers. and ‘other weeds’ have shown increasing trend in the beginning and reached their peak values at the same time (75-90 days). Thereafter, chlorophyll concentration have declined sharply. Maximum chlorophyll density value of total crop (wheat and mustard) was 2015.77 mg m-2 and for total weeds was 810.08 mg m-2, both at the age of 90 days of crop. There was a significant positive correlation between productivity and chlorophyll density of total crop (r = 0.903, p = 0.002) and total weeds (r = 0.580, p = 0.131).ECOPRINT 23: 39-44, 2016
