TOXICITY OF ANTRACOL, IN SNAKE HEADED FISH, Channa punctatus (BLOCH.): AN ASSESSMENT BASED ON LDH ISOZYME GEL ELECTROPHORESIS
Get PDFThe growth of industry is an important feature of civilization. Agriculture is also an important sector of the economy of any nation. It is true that the economic development in modern times has come to be associated with industrialization can follow only on the sound heels of agriculture. Indian agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. In comparison with the other countries as regards the share of agriculture in national income we find that India contributes much more, as a vast populated country. The current strategy for agricultural development is mainly bent towards intensifying cultivation in selected areas through the spread of high yielding varieties and multi-cropping programmes which aim at producing two or more crops of short duration as against one crop under the traditional varieties. For this purpose, so many devices are used to increase in per capita income and production; such devices are in the form of fertilizers, pesticides and different mechanical tools also. Electrophoretically estimation of LDH isoformes also showed varying band pattern with respect to control, after function of time followed by antracol intoxication

Role of International Law for Global Peace and Security
Get PDFThis study investigates the evolving concept of international security, emphasizing the integral role of international law in ensuring peace, human rights, and cooperation among states. Employing interdisciplinary methods, including hermeneutical and historical analysis, the research explores how legal norms, diplomacy, and military considerations shape global security in the modern geopolitical landscape. Findings indicate that contemporary security extends beyond traditional military means, addressing non-military factors such as economic stability, environmental risks, and social cohesion. The role of international organizations like the United Nations, OSCE, NATO, and the ICRC is highlighted, showing their contributions to stability through collective defense, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic cooperation. The study concludes that international security today requires a balanced approach that leverages both legal frameworks and non-military strategies to address complex global threats effectively
A Study of New Approaches to Statistical Analysis of Research data
Get PDFStatistical analysis has been at the heart of scientific research, providing critical tools for data interpretation, decision-making, and hypothesis testing. Some of the ancient techniques used were hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and time series analysis, among others. Such methods have proved to be good tools for researchers dealing with smaller and more structured datasets. However, the large size and complexity of the dataset exposed the weaknesses in such classical approaches, especially in handling large, unstructured, or non-linear datasets. Increased computing power and the development of machine learning algorithms have increased flexibility, nudging the statistical approach towards more flexible, data-driven methods. This paper reviews emerging approaches such as machine learning, deep learning, Bayesian methods, and network analysis and places an emphasis on how these approaches can be applied over a range of fields where they could vastly transform statistical analysis. Based on this review, comparing traditional and modern methodologies, it thereby demonstrates how innovations better complement rather than replacing the capabilities of statistical analysis, thus shaping the future of research in this changing environment
Quantitative Degradation Analysis of Amoxicillin Pharmaceutical Products by Selected Bacterial Isolates
No full textThe current study uses enrichment culture techniques to isolate, screen, and quantitatively evaluate bacterial isolates that can break down the antibiotic amoxicillin. After 13 bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples via selective enrichment, 11 of them showed amoxicillin tolerance up to 500 ppm and were chosen for additional study. Isolates AMX-1b, AMX-2b, AMX-5a, AMX-7a, and AMX-9a showed robust growth at all concentrations, according to Maximum Tolerance Level (MTL) screening, suggesting high resistance and possible antibiotic degradation ability. These results were corroborated by growth pattern analysis, which revealed strong growth patterns for a few isolates even at higher antibiotic doses. A varied collection of rod-shaped bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, with differing capacities for motility, endospore and capsule production, enzyme activity, and sugar fermentation were identified through morphological and biochemical characterisation. A bacterial consortium (HI: AMX-5a + AMX-7a) and three isolates (AMX-2b, AMX-5a, and AMX-7a) were chosen for quantitative degradation study. The isolates showed notable amoxicillin degradation under ideal conditions; after 72 hours of incubation, AMX-2b had the best efficiency (77.54%), followed by the HI consortium (73.31%), AMX-5a (59.93%), and AMX-7a (37.80%). These results point to the possible use of particular bacterial isolates and consortia for the bioremediation of settings contaminated with amoxicillin.
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria: Their potential in sustainable Agriculture
No full textPlant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are bacteria that inhabit plant roots and raise plant development through diverse direct and indirect mechanisms, including biological nitrogen fixation, the production of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC), siderophore synthesis, production of phytohormone and phosphate solubilization. Researchers are engaged in elucidating the role of PGPR in plant growth-promoting mechanisms. The potential of PGPR in agriculture is progressively rising as it presents an appealing option to chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other additives. These microbes exhibit both antagonistic and synergistic interactions with other soil microbes, which may benefit sustainable agriculture by primarily relying more on biological than chemical processes to sustain soil health and promote plant growth in stressful conditions. This paper thoroughly examines the recent efficacy and advancement of PGPR in agricultural enhancement, along with their mechanisms of action and features that promote plant growth
A comprehensive study on native plant species for phytoremediation of heavy metals contamination in soil
Get PDFPhytoremediation refers to the use of plants to remove or stabilize environmental contaminants in an environment. It is regarded as a highly effective and inexpensive method in countering heavy metal pollution. This paper examines the feasibility of using native plants in phytoremediation through the demonstration of their sensitivity, survivability, and tolerance towards the local environmental condition and their capability to accumulate and tolerate contaminants such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Native species have various advantages that include lesser upkeep requirements, improved ecosystem incorporation, and least invasive danger. The mechanisms involved in phytoremediation range from phytoextraction, Phyto stabilization, and rhizofiltration to the specific roles played by native plants in remediation processes of soil and water. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the successful use of native species at various contaminated sites. Challenges related to scalability and ecological risks are addressed. Emerging trends, including biochar amendments, genetic modification, and expanded applications into urban areas, suggest promising future directions
Secondary Metabolites in Edible Plants: Hidden Nutraceuticals for Daily Health Management
Get PDFEdible plants play a vital role in our diet by providing both macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as essential micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are necessary for normal growth and development. In addition to these well-known nutrients, these plants contain a variety of secondary metabolites—bioactive compounds that do not directly contribute to growth but have significant health benefits. These compounds, which are often overlooked, help to strengthen the immune system, prevent chronic diseases, and promote overall health. This article explores the main types of secondary metabolites found in everyday edible plants, explains their biochemical roles, and emphasizes their importance in maintaining good health as part of regular nutrition
