    Full text link
    Life is the gift of God and technology is the gift of human. Technology in today’s era has a significant role to play, it not only saves time but also makes work easier which can be effectively felt in every stage of our daily life. Besides technology form one of the basis of economic growth as it lessens the burden upon the human and at the same time reduces the instances of mistakes.  The ambit of technology has widened so far that it has touched the educational sector too. This has revolutionized the whole educational sector wherein the teacher student relation has been more enjoyable and at the same time has eased the imparting and acquiring of education. With the inclusion of computer application in the curriculum in the primary level itself, it gives a scope to the students to get accustomed to use of technology in education. And gradually, as they learn more, they get inured how to apply technology in acquiring education by attaining its optimum utility. The use of technology has become very common in higher education now a days as it helps the students in the attainment of maximum knowledge within limited resources and time, thus making them more self-reliant. This article aims to find out the role of technology in higher education and how far it has benefitted the teachers and the students in the process of imparting and acquiring education

    The one step combination of an objective particle in a similar response vessel is generally viewed as an effective methodology in manufactured natural science. Several one step synthesis of biologically active molecules, primarily employing organo catalytic methods, is discussed in this overview, along with their strengths and weaknesses. The one step economy ideas presented here are not only applicable to catalysis but also to organometallic and organic reaction techniques in general. A synthesis that requires multiple steps could instead be carried out in a single reaction flask with a one step synthesis. Envision that a union including numerous means expects that you stir up the response at each step, then decontaminate and carry on the material to the following stage. During workup and/or purification, you will, of course, lose some materials regardless of how cautiously you move chemicals from flask to flask. As a result, I believe that the fact that it is less likely to lose material during workup and purification is the most significant advantage. The use of chemicals and solvents is cost-effective, which is the second benefit. If the reaction needs to be worked up at each step, you will almost always need to use solvents that will eventually go to waste. Multiple-step one-flask synthesis would only require final workup at the final step

    Low quality and quantity of food intake of bulls in the tropics might adversely affect libido and semen quality through their effects on spermatogenesis process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of micro-minerals (Zn and Se) and vitamins (A and E) on the libido and semen quality of Bali bulls. 2 (two) Bali bulls, aged 4-5 years old with a body weight 300-350 kg. The study was divided into 2 periods and each period was conducted for 8 weeks. At the first period (control), the experimental bulls were fed with natural grasses and concentrates (1% of body weight). Furthermore, at the second period (treatment period), they were fed diet similar to that used in the first period with an additional of a mineral mix (Zn and Se) and vitamin (A and E). Evaluation of libido and semen quality were carried out simultaneously twice a week. Libido was measured by calculating the time required for the bulls from approaching the teaser until they mounted for the first time and from approaching until they ejaculated, respectively. Semen was collected by using an artificial vagina. The volume, colour, pH, and, viscosity, as were recorded. Evaluation of semen quality in the form of the sperm concentration, motility, viability and abnormality were done by using Computer Assisted Semen Analyser (CASA). Fresh semen was diluted by Andromed®. The diluted semen was preserved at the temperature 50C for 144 hrs. Motility, viability and abnormality were observed every 12 hrs. Data were reported as mean and standard error of mean analysed by using the paired student’s t-test. Mean interval between the bulls approaching and mounting the teaser for the first time and between approaching and  ejaculation after the supplementation of micro-nutrients were significantly shorter (P<0.05) in compared to those before the supplementation (2.68 vs. 6.52 and 5.09 vs. 10.06 minutes, respectively). The sperm viability after the supplementation of micro-nutrients was significantly higher in compared to that before supplementation. (82.25 vs. 87.50 %).  Preservation of diluted bull semen at the temperature of 50C for 144 hrs showed that the sperm viability was significantly higher (P<0.05) and sperm abnormality was significantly lower (P<0.05) after the supplementation of micro-nutrients in compared to those before the supplementation. It can be concluded that the supplementation micro-nutrients in Bali bulls could increase libido, sperm viability and reduce the sperm abnormality

    Full text link
    Plant diseases may cause large yield losses, endangering both the stability of the economy and the supply of food. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), in particular, are deep neural networks that have shown remarkable effectiveness in completing image categorization tasks, often outperforming human ability. It has numerous applications in voice processing, picture and video processing, and natural language processing (NLP). It has also grown into a centre for research on plant protection in agriculture, including the assessment of pest ranges and the diagnosis of plant diseases. In two plant phenotyping tasks, the function of a CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) structure based on Residual Networks (ResNet) is investigated in this study. The majority of current studies on Species Recognition (SR) and plant infection detection have used balanced datasets for accuracy and experimentation as the evaluation criteria. This study, however, made use of an unbalanced dataset with an uneven number of pictures, organised the data into several test cases and classes, conducted data augmentation to improve accuracy, and—most importantly—used multiclass classifier assessment settings that were helpful for an asymmetric class distribution. Furthermore with all these frequent issues, the paper addresses selecting the size of the data collection, classifier depth, necessary training time, and assessing the efficacy of the classifier when using various test scenarios. The Species Recognising (SR) and Identifying of Health and Infection Leaves (IHIL) tasks in this study have shown substantial improvement in performance for the ResNet 20 (V2) architecture, with Precision of 91.84% & 84.00%, Recall of 91.67% and 83.14%, and F1 scores of 91.49% & 83.19%, respectively. &nbsp

    We are learning more about the role that integrated medicine plays in treating metabolic illnesses. This is partially based on an abundance of scientific data regarding therapeutic herbs, including those with promise to treat diabetes, and in part on the WHO\u27s and other governmental organizations’ support for the practise. The anti-diabetic effect of number of flowers of Eugenia jambolana (EJA) was evaluated in the current study on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The The study\u27s primary goal was to look into the potential antidiabetic effects of sub-chronic oral administration of E. jambolana flowers infusion in rats with STZ-induced diabetes. In diabetic experimental rats, the floral extract considerably reduced blood sugar and cholesterol levels when given 400 mg/kg of body weight are the dosage. It also increased liver glycogen and total protein levels, enhanced reduced Hb1AC, serum level, and antioxidant levels, as well as impaired glucose tolerance. Additionally, it raised liver glycogen and total protein levels as well as glucose tolerance. A common hypoglycemic medication called Glibenclamide was used to compare the hypoglycemic efficacy.The preclinical investigation\u27s results could be useful for phase 2 clinical studies that aim to reduce the morbidity and mortality of diabetes mellitus exacerbated by drug-induced hypoglycemia by implementing integrated medicine
