Authors: Telkhade P.M. , Dahegaonkar N.R. , Zade S. B. 
Published: February 2023

The Neri nala is a small rivulet flowing between Chandrapur and Durgapur cities. Seasonal Studies were made to know the water quality of this small rivulet for assessing the water quality parameters viz. BOD, COD, TDS, Chloride, Sulphate, Phosphate along with other physico-chemical parameters. The additional burden to this small rivulet is received from washing, bathing and other domestic activities of adjoining slums. The studies indicate the polluted status of this rivulet due to inputs from adjoining localities and the degraded water quality, subsequently points out that it is unfit for bathing or any other activity. The presence of phosphate in large quantity originates due to surfactants utilized by local slum dwellers which might cause the eutrophication problem in long run.
Medicinal plant biodiversity in India: Resource utilization and conservational aspects
Authors: Rashid Abdul , Anand V. K. 
Published: February 2023

India is among the world's richest countries in terms of plant biodiversity. Besides the abundant flora, containing some 17,500 taxa of vascular plants (Angiosperms, Gymnosperms & Pteridophytes), there is extraordinary ecosystem diversity as well as large pools of both wild and cultivated germplasms. India is also considered as one of the main centers of origin and diversification for plant diversity on Earth. The great British Botanist, Sir J.D.Hooker (1904) remarked that the flora of India is more varied than any other country of the equal area in the eastern hemisphere, if not on the globe. The medicinal plant biodiversity in India both, indigenous and introduced has been put at about 7,500 species. Out of these 1100 plants are frequently used in the Indian system of medicines and 500 plants are commonly used in the preparation of Ayurvedic, Unani and Homeopathic drugs. A tremendous increase in the production of herbal medicines and other products based on Ayurvedic, Unani and other traditional systems of medicines has also been witnessed in India. India has a well established natural drug and pharmaceutical industry making her a major exporter of the plant based products and raw materials. This has put a great pressure on the plant biodiversity of the country. There has been a gross depletion of the natural population of many medicinal plants. Quite few of these have become vulnerable while at least 20 are endangered. Although in recent years, efforts were done to conserve the plant biodiversity in India by various organizations at various levels but much work remains to be done. Past success in augmenting the resource through large scale cultivation of Sassurea costus, Rauwwolfia serpentine, Gloriosa superba and many others and introduction of some valuable exotic/substitutive species are the inspiring steps in the stride for conservation of medicinal plant biodiversity in India. Various features of medicinal plant biodiversity of India, an account of resource utilization, prospects, concerns and conservational aspects are discussed in the present communication.

Authors: Tripathi S. C. , Srivastava Manjulla 
Published: February 2023

The role of natural products, herbal medicines, and traditional medicines is being increasing in the recent years for the prevention and management of human disorders. The present paper deals with ethnomedicinal use of Elephantopus scaber L. collected from Nishangada forest (Kakraha range) of Bahraich, a tarai district of eastern U.P. India. During field survey on 5 August 2006 and 2 January 2007, out of many collected plants we got the information about a herbaceous flora locally called as "Hastipata" by tribal peoples. These tribals are the migrants of Nepal in Nishangada forest (Kakraha range) of Bahraich, working as labour named as Phool Kumari, Pooja Chaudhary and Man Kumari Chaudhary. The botanical name of plant was confirmed by available literature in the department library. The tribals informed us about its use regarding the cure of various human ailments. The gathered informations from them revealed that the decoctions of fresh leaves are used as wash for eczema. Crushed leaves are boiled in the coconut oil and applied to ulcers and eczema. The paste of root is applied in rheumatism and the tribal people apply powder of root with pepper in toothache. The tribals informed that, this traditional knowledge about the plant "Hastipata" has descended from one generation to another as domestic practice and treatment given by them is found very effective.

Published: February 2023

The present paper deals with effectiveness of coagulation for removal of turbidity and biological growth in experimental salt gradient solar pond. The result obtained indicated that coagulation is not able to bring down the turbidity below 1 NTU, while at 10 NTU starting turbidity, the optimum alum dose comes out to be 75 mg/I and it is 60 and 45 mg/l for 5 and 3 NTU respectively. This acquired level of turbidity is within acceptable limits for solar ponds, hence the experimentation with higher dose was not continued.
Larval feeding and gallery pattern of a single larva of Hoplocerambyx spinicornis, a major pest of Sal, Shorea robusta
Authors: Negi S. , Joshi V.D. 
Published: February 2023

The present study deals with the quantification of larval feeding and gallery pattern of a single larva of Hoplocerambyx spinicornis, a severe pest of Sal, Shorea robusta. The larva is the destructive stage. They bore into the bark and then slowly moves inwards and upwards through bast and sapwood. Consumption and digestion of wood by a single larva showed that the third instar larva do the maximum damage to the Sal tree as indicated by the size of frass ejected from the tree. During its life time one larva can cject 30.19g (dry wt.) of frass and fecal matter. In view of damage, the bark, bast and heartwood region are of major importance as the attacks is more intense in these region while sapwood region is only a passage way where the larva do not stay for too long. Thus, the size of the fecal matter is the true indicator of larval instars.

Quartic surfaces, their bitangents and rational points
Authors: Corvaja Pietro , Zucconi Francesco 
Published: February 2023

Let X be a smooth quartic surface not containing lines, defined over a number field K. We prove that there are only finitely many bitangents to X which are defined over K. This result can be interpreted as saying that a certain surface, having vanishing irregularity, contains only finitely many rational points. In our proof, we use the geometry of lines of the quartic double solid associated to X. In a somewhat opposite direction, we show that on any quartic surface X over a number field K, the set of algebraic points in X(\overeline K) which are quadratic over a suitable finite extension K' of K is Zariski-dense.Comment: This is the final version of the paper

Published: February 2023

A ventilação natural possui importante papel nas condições de conforto térmico de edificações residenciais em climas quentes. Com o objetivo de avaliar os impactos causados pela variação do tamanho das aberturas no conforto térmico em uma residência unifamiliar, em cidades com climas caracteristicamente distintos, foram realizadas simulações computacionais de desempenho termoenergético em uma cidade representante de cada uma das zonas bioclimáticas, segundo a NBR 15.220 [1]. As aberturas foram variadas em três configurações de tamanho de aberturas conforme estabelecido nas Tabelas de Mahoney: pequena, média e grande, sendo ainda avaliada uma quarta configuração correspondendo às aberturas grandes com a presença de sombreamento. Os resultados obtidos apresentaram diferenças para cada zona, mas de forma geral as melhores condições de conforto térmico foram garantidas por aberturas grandes para os dormitórios e aberturas pequenas para as salas ou aberturas grandes e sombreadas. O presente trabalho faz parte de um trabalho de Iniciação Científica Voluntária em andamento.

Published: February 2023

Este trabalho analisou o comportamento de um sistema de vedação vertical com núcleo de poliestireno expandido, quanto aos critérios de resistência ao fogo e o comportamento do núcleo do sistema em relação a reação ao fogo. A análise foi feita por ensaios laboratoriais pelas normas NBR 5628:2001 e NBR 16965:2021. O sistema apresentou perda de capacidade portante, aos 17 minutos, devido a ação conjunta do fenômeno de “thermal bow” e do carregamento aplicado. Por isso, segundo critérios de norma, houve a perda de integridade e de isolamento térmico. Em relação aos ensaios de reação ao fogo, observou-se que o material degradou ao ser atingida a temperatura de 210 °C, mas não apresentou chamas contínuas nem a liberação excessiva de fumaça.
