Effect of copper oxide nanoparticles on regeneration and antioxidants accumulation in vitro derived tissues of Alhagi maurorum
Creators: name: Kaur, Manprit
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Medicinal plants are of great interest to the researchers in the field of biotechnology as most of the drug industries. Alhagi maurorum is an undershrub, well known as camelthorn and always grown in salty soils and dry environment. It is widely used in folk medicines. Nanotechnology has large potential to provide an opportunity for the researchers of plant science and other fields to develop new tools for incorporation of nanoparticles into plants that could augment existing functions and add new ones. The application of nanoparticles has successfully led to the elimination of microbial contaminants from explants and demonstrated the positive role of nanoparticles in callus induction, organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis and somaclonal variation. The present investigation was focused on the effect of CuO NPs on tissue differentiation and antioxidants accumulation in cultures of Alhagi maurorum. The explants (shoot tip with cotyledons, hypocotyl and roots) were cultured on MS medium with different concentrations of CuO NPs (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mg/l). MS1, MS 5 and MS6 with different conc. of CuO NPs (4, 10 and 12 mg/l) medium were best responding as compared to other tested concentrations of CuO NPs. The explants (cotyledons) show excellent growth on all MS media (MS0, MS1, MS2, MS3, MS4, MS5 and MS6) having different concentrations of CuO NPs (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mg/l) than other explants (hypocotyl and roots). The prepared CuO NPs were spherical in shape and were characterized using FTIR techniques. Conclusion- Cu in its bulk form is vastly utilized as nutritive plant medium in callus induction and regeneration but lesser specific surface area and lower surface energy limit its reactivity. It was concluded that callogenesis and organogenesis were increased with increasing con. of CuO NPs. Now a days, there is increasing interest towards the use of herbal medicine and commercialization of plant based drugs. Thus has increased the demand as well as exploitation of Alhagi maurorum. Therefore, for meeting the upcoming pharmaceutical requirements, an efficient large scale propagation of this rare plant is essential.

description: Inspired by the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, we define the intrinsic flat distance between oriented $m$ dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary by isometrically embedding the manifolds into a common metric space, measuring the flat distance between them and taking an infimum over all isometric embeddings and all common metric spaces. This is made rigorous by applying Ambrosio-Kirchheim's extension of Federer-Fleming's notion of integral currents to arbitrary metric spaces. We prove the intrinsic flat distance between two compact oriented Riemannian manifolds is zero iff they have an orientation preserving isometry between them. Using the theory of Ambrosio-Kirchheim, we study converging sequences of manifolds and their limits, which are in a class of metric spaces that we call integral current spaces. We describe the properties of such spaces including the fact that they are countably $\mathcal{H}^m$ rectifiable spaces and present numerous examples.

Early detection of cancerous cells using electrochemical biosensor

Year: 2021

description: Cancer is a most dreadful disease that can occur in human body by dividing cells uncontrollably and capable of transporting to any parts of the body by the process of metastasis. According to estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2018 there were 17.0 million new cancer cases and accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. It’s proven that early diagnosis of cancer helps to reduce the cancer death rate significantly. It is a known fact that immune cells fail to recognize these cancerous cells and fight with them. The main reason is the low concentration of surface antigen on these cancerous cells as well as PDL-1 (Programmed death-ligand 1) protein which deceives the T-cells in recognizing them (tells to ignore the cancer cells). Higher concentration of IFN-γ (interferon gamma secreted from activated T-cells) leads to overexpression of PDL-1 (inhibitor checkpoint) on the tumour cell surface. Thus, IFN-γ is useful for adjuvant immunotherapy for different types of cancer for their capability of inducing senescence in tumour cells. Although IFN-γ remains to be a controversial topic regarding its role in immune status and tumour immunity. However, focusing on the concentration level of IFN-γ in blood samples can determine the presence or absence of cancer. Biosensor based techniques have been recently recommended as a rapid and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis of tumour biomarkers. Electrochemical biosensors are most suitable device for early detection of cancer among individuals. Biosensor based (these) techniques have been recently recommended as a rapid and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis of tumour biomarkers. Attaching an anti-IFN-γ-antibody to the electrochemical biosensor can detect the concentration level of IFN-γ and would help in detection of cancerous cells. This study reviews the possibility of using anti-IFN-γ-antibody on electrochemical biosensors.

description: Accuracy standards have been developed to ensure that the waveforms used for gravitational-wave data analysis are good enough to serve their intended purposes. These standards place constraints on certain norms of the frequency-domain representations of the waveform errors. Examples are given here of possible misinterpretations and misapplications of these standards, whose effect could be to vitiate the quality control they were intended to enforce. Suggestions are given for ways to avoid these problems.

description: Environmental sustainability is probably the greatest issue looked by humanity. Fast and uncontrolled industrialization and urbanization have put worldwide land assets under extreme danger. To make our planet an economical environment and appropriate tenable for people in the future, we not just need to make adjustments in existing techniques yet additionally need to remediate the contaminated regular assets utilizing normal ways. Reusing of biomass, improvement of creation measures that utilizes regular assets, recuperating energy, and limiting wastage can effect sly affect the climate. In spite of heightening endeavors to forestall squander amassing and to advance reusing, the measure of natural harm brought about by the exclusive requirement of living, over-utilization, the amounts of waste created, and the level of impractical land use show up prone to keep developing. Ecological biotechnology is one of the alternatives to forestall, capture, and opposite natural corruption through the proper utilization of biotechnology in mix with different innovations while supporting security methodology as an essential part of the program. Biotechnological measures and their items can be applied with a perspective on long haul natural security to ensure ecological respectability. While bioremediation is recognized as a promising innovation for reestablishing dirtied and corrupted terrains, its field potential is restricted for different reasons. In any case, ongoing biotechnological progressions, including delivering effective microbial consortia, applying proteins with higher levels of particularity, and planning plants with explicit microbial accomplices, are opening new possibilities in remediation innovation.

description: A variety of physical processes leading to different types of pulsations and chemical compositions is observed among A- and F-type stars. To investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for these processes in stars with similar locations in the H-R diagram, an accurate abundance determination is needed, among others. Here, we describe a semi-automatic procedure developed to determine chemical abundances of various elements ranging from helium to mercury for this type of stars. We test our procedure on synthetic spectra, demonstrating that our procedure provides abundances consistent with the input values, even when the stellar parameters are offset by reasonable observational errors. For a fast-rotating star such as Vega, our analysis is consistent with those carried out with other plane-parallel model atmospheres. Simulations show that the offsets from the input abundances increase for stars with low inclination angle of about 4 degrees. For this inclination angle, we also show that the distribution of the iron abundance found in different regions is bimodal. Furthermore, the effect of rapid rotation can be seen in the peculiar behaviour of the H_beta line.

Radiative Symmetry Breaking of the Minimal Left-Right Symmetric Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Under the assumption of classical conformal invariance, we study the Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking mechanism in the minimal left-right symmetric model. This model is attractive as it provides a natural framework for small neutrino masses and the restoration of parity as a good symmetry of nature. We find that, in a large fraction of the parameter space, the parity symmetry is maximally broken by quantum corrections in the Coleman-Weinberg potential, which are a consequence of the conformal anomaly. As the left-right symmetry breaking scale is connected to the Planck scale through the logarithmic running of the dimensionless couplings of the scalar potential, a large separation of the two scales can be dynamically generated. The symmetry breaking dynamics of the model was studied using a renormalization group analysis. Electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered by the breakdown of left-right symmetry, and the left-right breaking scale is therefore expected in the few TeV range. The phenomenological implications of the symmetry breaking mechanism are discussed.

Year: 2021

description: For the first time in the human history, the world has derived with safe and efficacious vaccine within a time period of approximately 14 to 16 months, as it is being known that for a vaccine to be developed it requires around 10 to 15 years, which is almost one-tenth of the traditional time. So as to stop the spread of a viral disease, proper medication should need to be developed which will either stop the spreading or reduce the chance of getting infected and vaccine is the only medication which can be used as an outcome of the disease. SARS-CoV (Severe Acute respiratory Syndrome Corona virus -2) also known as coronavirus is a RNA virus with zoonotic origin, first emerged in year 2002 and then in year 2019(Covid-19), named as corona because of the presence of a crown like protein at the surface of virus.SARS-CoV-2 declared pandemic in March 2021 by WHO (World Health Organization) as it was spreading rapidly among human. To stop its further spread, it becomes compulsory to develop a vaccine against the virus. Scientists from different research laboratories worldwide have used several mechanisms for vaccine development, most of them focus on neutralizing the spike protein by developing antibodies against it. All accessible vaccines of covid-19 are grouped under four categories whole virus vaccines, viral vector vaccines, nucleic acid vaccines, and recombinant protein-based vaccine. Currently, there are 18 emergency approved vaccines in the world for vaccination among large population to develop herd immunity in which all the vaccines used different technique, each vaccines having their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, this review paper will focus on all the different techniques along with their advantages and side effects by conducting a survey among 500 people in a state.

description: The magnetization of the PrFeAsO$_{0.60}$F$_{0.12}$ polycrystalline sample has been measured as functions of temperature and magnetic field $(H)$. The observed total magnetization is the sum of a superconducting irreversible magnetization ($M_s$) and a paramagnetic magnetization ($M_p$). Analysis of dc susceptibility $χ(T)$ in the normal state shows that the paramagnetic component of magnetization comes from the Pr$^{+3}$ magnetic moments. The intragrain critical current density $(J_L)$ derived from the magnetization measurement is large. The $J_L(H)$ curve displays a second peak which shifts towards the high-field region with decreasing temperature. In the low-field region, a plateau up to a field $H^*$ followed by a power law $H^{-5/8}$ behavior of $J_L(H)$ is the characteristic of the strong pinning. A vortex phase diagram for the present superconductor has been obtained from the magnetization and resistivity data.

description: Walt Whitman’s formal and thematic innovations influenced and continue to influence countless poets around the world. His reception in Arabic language and literature started just a few years after his death. This thesis traces how Ameen Rihani, the founding father of Arab-American literature, reconstructed Whitman’s poetics in both Arabic and English. It shows how Rihani introduced and naturalized Whitman’s free-verse style into Arabic poetry. Moreover, Rihani’s poetry has contributed significantly to the Arab-American cultural dialogue by borrowing Whitman’s themes. Thus, this thesis investigates Ameen Rihani’s critical and creative reception of Whitman’s work. It shows how Whitman, through Rihani’s mediation, influenced modern Arabic literature.

We then derive the analytical expression for the average velocity, mobility, and diffusion rate. The bistable kinetics and escape rate from a metastable state in the overdamped region are studied consequently. By numerical simulation we then demonstrate that our analytical escape rate is in good agreement with that of numerical result.

description: Bildungserfolg hängt in Deutschland nach wie vor mit der sozialen Herkunft zusammen. Personen aus Familien mit hohem sozialem Status verfügen über höhere schulische Kompetenzen als Personen aus Familien mit niedrigem sozialem Status (primäre Herkunftseffekte). Darüber hinaus weisen Bildungsentscheidungen auch unter Konstanthaltung der Kompetenzen einen Zusammenhang mit der sozialen Herkunft auf (sekundäre Herkunftseffekte). Insbesondere diese an Bildungsübergängen auftretenden sekundären Herkunftseffekte führen zu systematischen Benachteiligungen von Personen aus Familien mit niedrigerem sozialen Status. Untersuchungen zu sozialen Disparitäten an unterschiedlichen Gelenkstellen im deutschen Bildungssystem konnten zeigen, dass sekundäre Herkunftseffekte erfolgreich mit Hilfe der Rational-Choice-Theorie erklärt werden können. Die sozialen Disparitäten lassen sich demnach auf herkunftsspezifische Unterschiede in den Einschätzungen von Kosten, Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeiten und drohendem Statusverlust zurückführen. Während der Bildungsübergang in die Sekundarstufe I sowie der Bildungsübergang in die Sekundarstufe II bereits vergleichsweise umfassend untersucht wurden, gibt es wenige Studien, die den Übergang an die Hochschule in den Blick nehmen. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Studienintentionen am Ende der Sekundarstufe II. Es wird untersucht, welcher Zusammenhang zwischen den Hintergrundmerkmalen der Schülerinnen und Schüler und ihren Studienintentionen besteht. Die empirischen Analysen können zeigen, dass (a) soziale Disparitäten in den Studienintentionen am Ende der Sekundarstufe II vorliegen, die (b) auch unter Kontrolle der schulischen Kompetenzen bestehen bleiben und (c) mit Hilfe der Rational-Choice-Theorie erklärt werden können.

Application of genetic engineering in vertical farming to solve farmer's plight and make India the food bowl of the world: A Review
Creators: name: Hazra, Richismita
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Agriculture contributes 20.19% GDP to the Indian economy since it is practiced as the sole means of living for almost 60% of the employed population in India. The exponentially growing population accompanied by substantial growth in food demand has brought in serious concerns necessitating the maximization of food production per unit area of cultivation. The impending need to feed billions of humans and animals globally is fuelling innovation in the agricultural and food sectors. All sustainability factors including environmental, social, and economic advancements require consideration to produce sustainable urban food. A promising approach to address this issue is vertical farming, which is an energy-intensive system of agriculture involving a collaboration of multiple technologies for growing crops without agronomic constraints. However, usage of traditional or old seeds is a major drawback of this modern technology. The concept of vertical farming should not be confined to the aim of utilizing every inch of land, instead should be expanded, and thought about by entrepreneurs. For getting the most out of innovative methods of urban agriculture, plant genetic engineering tools should be incorporated and implemented as well. Genetically modified (GM) crops have been commercially used for more than a few decades with increased crop yield, reduced costs, enhanced nutrient composition, and improved food quality. Nevertheless, the advantages of future applications could be even bigger. The application of biotechnology in introducing GM crops in vertical farming could revolutionize the agro-sector to the next level. This review aims at stitching the gap between vertical farming and plant architecture by integrating genetic modifications with environmental modifications for the production of crops with assured quality and quantity independent of weather change, climatic constraints, and soil conditions. This innovation can not only help us meet the challenge in feeding India itself but also help our nation to become one of the world’s leaders in agriculture.

description: An effective treatment for SARS-CoV-2 was urgently required to reduce the mortality rate. The pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 has close link with aggressive lung disorders. A novel approach can be Colchicine. It invariably decreases pulmonary complexities, showing antimitotic action, causing metaphase arrest by inhibiting microtubule and spindle formation and is effective in reducing granulocyte migration, ultimately reducing inflammation. For this systemic review, papers were searched using the search engines like PubMed, NCBI and WebMD. The keywords used were – inverse probability, propensity score weighing, colchicines, SARS-CoV-2 and 7-point conventional scale. The papers searched were used for this retrospective study.In this systematic review by using propensity score analysis, it was observed that colchicine administration is related with decline in mortality and increased the clinical advancement in patients infected with Covid-19. Hence colchicine might be a beneficial drug likewise to treat a potential resurgence of SARS. Colchicine is related with decreased mortality and speeds up recuperation in COVID-19 patients. This supported the reasoning for current bigger randomized controlled preliminaries testing the safety/efficacy profile of colchicine in COVID-19 patients.

description: This paper takes as an example the envisioned portal of the newly started Polifonia project that interlinks resources from very rich, old, established archives while making optimal use of the latest semantic web technologies. In the project, ten research pilots, spanning from historical bells and organ heritage, classification of polyphonic notated music, to the historical role of music in children's lives, form the driving force behind the development of the dedicated interface. Based on a mixture of participation and participatory observation, we describe and reflect on the processes involved in making the portal. In other words - exemplified with the case of Polifonia - we reflect on the role of interfaces (of various types, shapes, manifestations and/or durations) to organise knowledge in an interdisciplinary project. In particular, we focus on the role of data management within the project as a key component of research methodology and cross-disciplinary collaboration, rather than an administrative exercise. The knowledge generated by this part of the project serves at least three different purposes: (1) to envision new research questions (competence questions) guiding the engineering backbone processes; (2) to define the future elements of the portal both for experts, other researchers, wider public and specific parts of the wider public; and last but not least, (3) the documentation task needed to support reproducibility and FAIRness of all data processes. Figure 1 below illustrates how the three components, namely the sociotechnical roadmap of the portal, the ontology-based knowledge graphs created in the research pilots, and the data management plan form three complementary components of the Polifonia project, that ultimately all feed into the web portal. In this paper, we claim that behind any interface there is the need for a layer of interfaces that form the basis of the final interface visible to the public. These procedural, intermediary, interfaces take the form of meetings, shared notes, github presence - and will result in products of their own (Data Management Plan, knowledge graphs), as well as inform the decisions during the process of designing the portal.

description: We present a method of modeling the radial velocity (RV) measurements which can be useful in searching for planets hosted by chromospherically active stars. We assume that the observed RV signal is induced by the reflex motion of a star as well as by distortions of spectral line profiles, measured by the Bisector Velocity Span (BVS). The RVs are fitted with a common planetary model including RV correction term depending linearly on the BVS, which accounts for the stellar activity. The coefficient of correlation is an additional free parameter of the RV model. That approach differs from correcting the RVs before or after fitting the "pure" planetary model. We test the method on simulated data derived for single-planet systems. The results are compared with the outcomes of algorithms found in the literature.

description: This paper introduces a new class of robust estimates for ARMA models. They are M-estimates, but the residuals are computed so the effect of one outlier is limited to the period where it occurs. These estimates are closely related to those based on a robust filter, but they have two important advantages: they are consistent and the asymptotic theory is tractable. We perform a Monte Carlo where we show that these estimates compare favorably with respect to standard M-estimates and to estimates based on a diagnostic procedure.

We employ the statistical dynamical mean-field theory, which incorporates both, local fluctuations due to disorder and local correlations due to interaction, to solve the Anderson-Hubbard model. Localization due to disorder is studied by means of the probability distribution function of the local density of states. We obtain a complete paramagnetic ground state phase diagram consisting of disordered correlated metal, Anderson-Mott insulator, and band insulator.

description: Single trapped ions are ideal systems in which to test atomic physics at high precision: they are effectively isolated atoms held at rest and largely free from perturbing interactions. This thesis describes several projects developed to study the structure of singly-ionized barium and more fundamental physics. First, we describe a spin-dependent "electron-shelving" scheme that allows us to perform single ion electron spin resonance experiments in both the ground 6S_{1/2} and metastable 5D_{3/2} states at precision levels of 10^{-5}. We employ this technique to measure the ratio of off-resonant light shifts (or ac-Stark effect) in these states to a precision of 10^{-3} at two different wavelengths. These results constitute a new high precision test of heavy-atom atomic theory. Such experimental tests in Ba+ are in high demand since knowledge of key dipole matrix elements is currently limited to about 5%. Ba+ has recently been the subject of theoretical interest towards a test of atomic parity violation for which knowledge of dipole matrix elements is an important prerequisite. We summarize this parity violation experimental concept and describe new ideas. (continued...)

Scene graph parsing and its application in cross-modal reasoning tasks
Creators: name: Zhang, Ji
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Scene graph parsing aims at understanding an image as a graph where vertices are visual objects (potentially with attributes) and edges are visual relationships among objects. This task is commonly seen as an extension to the object detection task where objects are detected individually, while the former requires recognizing relationships between object pairs. Therefore, scene graphs are usually seen as a better semantic representation of images for visual reasoning. In thesis we start with an inherent issue lying in scene graph parsing: the unbearable quadratic complexity of relationship detection. We develop an efficient model that effectively reduces the complexity from quadratic down to quasi-linear and show clear superiority over intuitive and strong baselines. Then we introduce two salient issues that naturally occur in scene graphs: Ambiguity in the language dimension and ambiguity in the visual dimension. The first happens when the vocabulary of objects and relationships are significantly large, and the second happens when multiple vertices or edges in a scene graph are from the same category and confuse the model to recognize the correct relational pairing. We propose two models that tackle these two problems separately, where the first model utilizes learnable embeddings to handle the ambiguity in the language dimension, while the second adds three types of losses that we design to for the model to learn to discriminate correct instances against confusing and hard negative instances. At last, with an accurately parsed scene graph, we discuss the topic of using scene graphs as richer feature and deeper knowledge of the input visual signals for better visual-semantic cross-modal reasoning. We design and develop a model that follows such logic and apply it on the video story understanding task, which achieves satisfying advantage over strong baseline models. In summary, we claim that scene graphs can be accurately and efficiently obtained by our models, and that we can build a sophisticated system that employs scene graphs for more explicit and interpretable cross-modal understanding.

A perspective study on various molecular and in silico methods for identification of ovarian cancer biomarkers
Creators: name: Kishore, Shristi

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynaecologic cancers throughout the whole world that is associated with female reproductive system. The symptoms of this cancer remain “silent” in its early stages resulting in diagnostic delays and thus contributing to poor survival rates in various patients. The survival rates have been reported to increase if ovarian cancer is screened at its onset stages. Biomarkers play an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of ovarian cancer. Biomarker is a characteristic that is precisely measured and evaluated and then can be used as a mark of different biological processes. Researchers around the world have put tremendous efforts to identify potential biomarkers for ovarian cancer that can be used to detect the cancer at early stages and may also assist in the treatment. The advent of new technologies in the field of bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics has facilitated the process for the discovery of novel biomarkers. The present review aims to discuss about well-established as well as newly discovered in silico and molecular approaches that are helpful in the identification and characterization of ovarian cancer biomarkers. The present work is done through screening of more than thirty pieces of literature available on different online databases including PubMed, Web of science, Cross Ref, and Google Scholar. Furthermore, key insights into the novel potential ovarian cancer biomarkers and their clinical utility have also been provided in this review.

description: We calculate the group of dualization operations for triple vector bundles, showing that it has order 96 and not 72 as given in Mackenzie's original treatment. The group is a nonsplit extension of S4 by the Klein group. Dualization operations are interpreted as functors on appropriate categories and are said to be equal if they are naturally isomorphic. The method set out here will be applied in a subsequent paper to the case of n-fold vector bundles.

description: We perform a numerical analysis of Higgs-to-Higgs decays within a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), highlighting several channels that cannot occur in its Supersymmetric version, thereby allowing one to possibly distinguish between these two scenarios. Our results are compliant with all available experimental bounds from both direct and indirect Higgs searches and with theoretical constraints from vacuum stability and perturbative unitarity.

Bees, specialists and global change in forests of the northeastern United States
Creators: name: Smith, Colleen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Specializing on one type of resource is a strategy used by organisms throughout the natural world. This strategy can have wider ranging ecological consequences, the most notable of which is that specialist species are more vulnerable to global change. My dissertation focuses on two types of specialization found in wild bees. The first of these is foraging-bout specialization, whereby an individual bee will visit a single plant species during a foraging bout. This strategy has larger ecological importance because a bee that visits one plant species while foraging transfers more conspecific pollen and less heterospecific pollen between flowers, aiding in plant reproduction. In my first thesis chapter, I examine how common foraging-bout specialization is in communities of forest bees living in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I find that, in most bee species, individuals exhibit foraging bout specialization some of the time, but individuals from social bee species are more likely to do so than individuals from solitary bee species. Because most bee species are solitary – but most research on this topic has focused on social bees – my research suggests that foraging-bout specialization may be less common than previously thought.The second focus of my dissertation is on forest specialist bee species, which depend exclusively on forest habitat for their survival. Evidence from non-bee taxa suggests that, in general, forest specialists are particularly vulnerable to decline, given widespread deforestation. Though many bees reside in forests, previous research has largely ignored forest specialist bee species, and no studies have examined their response to land-use change involving forests. In my second chapter, I identify which bee species are forest specialists in eastern North America, and I show that these bees are harmed by forest loss but benefit from forest regrowth: their diversity increases with forest area, is unaffected by forest age, and has increased during a 140-year period of forest regrowth in eastern North America. In my third thesis chapter I use a simulation to examine whether forest specialist bees’ response to forest loss is mediated by forest fragmentation. I find that, in the immediate wake of forest loss, fragmented landscapes harbor more forest specialist species than continuous ones with the same area of forest habitat. This is because there is more turnover of forest specialist species within fragmented landscapes. Overall, my results suggest an optimistic outlook for the conservation of forest specialist bee species. These species are likely to benefit substantially from forest regrowth, and, at least initially, they are not likely to be harmed by the fragmentation of remaining forest habitat.
Physio- chemical characterization of different types of Gall stones

description: Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid like bile, bilirubin, cholesterol, calcium salts, amino acids and other materials which are formed within the gallbladder. With the change in lifestyle, ageing and food habits gallstones are a major affliction seen around the world. Based on physiological and chemical structure gallstones can be classified as cholesterol, pigmented, and mixed gallstones. The difference in the composition of gallstone is also influenced by the epidemiological factor. In western countries there is predominance of cholesterol gallstone whereas in India there is no such specification. In southern India there is predominance of pigmented gallstone, but cholesterol gallstone is more prone in northern region of India. This differences in their composition also effects the treatment methodology. Till date mostly medicine has been seen effective against cholesterol gallstone only. But there is various evidence where there is predominance of pigmented gallstone. With this respect we aim to find the prevalence of types of gallstones in Jharkhand region. This will be helpful to adopt the treatment methodology or designing target specific drug.
