Numerical solution of Generalized Burger-Huxley & Huxley’s equation using Deep Galerkin neural network method
No full textIn this paper, a deep learning algorithm based on Deep Galerkin method (DGM) is presented for the approximate solution of the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation (gBHE), and generalized Hux-ley’s equation (gHE). In this method, a deep neural network (DNN) is used for approximating the solution without generating mesh grid, which satisfies the di˙erential operator, boundary and initial conditions. DNN is trained on randomly selected batches of time and space points, thus helping to avoid forming a mesh. Adam optimizer is used for optimizing the parameters of the DNN. Further, the convergence of the cost function and convergence of the neural network to the exact solution is demonstrated. This method shows very encouraging results which have been compared with re-cent methods such as: A fourth order improved numerical scheme(FDS4), Adomain-decomposition method (ADM), Modified cubic B-spline di˙erential quadrature method (MCB- DQM), Variational iteration method(VIM), and others

No full textA Review – Some Approaches to Combat Salt Stress in Wheat Crop
No full textWheat constitutes a central position for ensuring food and nutritional security; however, rapidly rising soil and water salinity pose a serious threat to its production globally. Salinity stress is a universal dilemma that is happening due to climate change. It affects hectares of arable land. Main focus regarding improving salinity tolerance in plants has been given to Na+ exclusion/ Na+ compartmentalization and enhanced ROS system. Besides this, ameliorative activity of phytohormones, nutrients, amino acids and organic osmolytes has also been widely studied. Exploring traits in wild genotype aids search for better solutions. Based upon phenotype screening, novel genes involving salinity tolerance will be easily identified. Moreover, selected mutants can be used to validate the functions of salt genes. Wheat plants utilize a range of physiological biochemical and molecular mechanisms to adapt under salinity stress at the cell, tissue as well as whole plant levels to optimize the growth, and yield by off-setting the adverse effects of saline environment. Recently, various adaptation and management strategies have been developed to reduce the deleterious effects of salinity stress to maximize the production and nutritional quality of wheat. Thereby, this review highlights effects of salt tolerance, physiological mechanisms behind salt tolerance and transgenic wheat that are potential indicators of salinity stress tolerance
Soil microbial and nutrient dynamics influenced by irrigation-induced salinity and sewage sludge incorporation in sandy - loam textured soil
No full textThe use of sewage sludge in agriculture is known
to be environmentally friendly as it is a practical way of recycling
municipal waste. A short-term experiment was carried out
to study the changes in soil chemical and microbiological properties
influenced through the addition of sewage sludge along with
saline irrigation under a pearl millet-wheat crop rotation. There
were three irrigation (canal water (0.35 dS m-1), 8 and 10 dS m-1
electrical conductivity saline water) and five fertilizer treatments
(control-F1, sewage sludge (5 t ha-1)-F2, sewage sludge (5 t ha-1)
+50% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF)-F3, sewage sludge
(5 t ha-1)+75% RDF-F4 and RDF-F5). The results showed that
soil organic carbon, and available nitrogen, and phosphorus were
reduced significantly under saline conditions but there was an
increase in available potassium with the increasing salinity levels
of the irrigation water. A significant reduction in soil microbial biomass
carbon and enzyme activities was caused by 8 and 10 dS m-1
as compared to 0.35 dS m-1 at different growth stages of crops.
Treatment F4 attained the highest soil microbial activity at each
crop growth stage by a significant margin among all of the fertilizer
treatments, which is associated with a substantial build-up
of organic carbon and available NPK in the soil. Soil microbial
activities followed a particular trend: at 35 and 75 days after
sowing>harvest>sowing in pearl millet and wheat, respectively.
Sewage sludge dumping is a major problem in India, and the
present study suggests that by applying sewage sludge, soil
biological health is improved; therefore its use in agriculture is
recommended to farmers

No full textObjectives: To evaluate the association between micro-albuminuria and glycemic status among type 2 diabetic patients in Hyderabad, Sindh.
Methods: Cross Sectional study was conducted at the Medical unit of Isra University, Hyderabad from January 2019 to June 2020. All the patients aged between 30 and 50 years, of either genders, with both good controlled as well as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus type II admitted in the medicine ward were included. All the participants were divided into two groups according to their glycemic level. The Group I comprised of patients with poor glycemic control that is HbA1c >7% while Group II comprises of patients with good glycemic control that is HbA1c<7%.
Results: Majority (56.4%) of participants in the study were Male while most (31.0%) them belongs to age group 41-45 years. The mean age of all patients was 42.3 ± 4.1 years. The mean HbA1c level in group 1(poorly controlled) and 2 (good control) participants was 8.04± 0.97% and 5.87 ± 0.44%. There was a statistically significant association (p<0.05) between poorly controlled glycemic status and micro-albuminuria.
Conclusion: Micro-albuminuria is significantly associated with the poor glycemic status among type 2 diabetic patients
Impact of Resveratrol in Attenuating Cisplatin Induced Testicular Toxicity in Male adult Rats
No full textBackground: Resveratrol is a poly-hydroxy phenol plant toxin that reduces oxidative stress and prevents tissue damage by increasing endogenous antioxidant levels. The study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Resveratrol by histochemical, ultrastructural and biochemical methods in testicular toxicity induced by the Cisplatin in Wistar Albino rats.
Methodology: The quasi-experimental study was carried out at the department of Pharmacology, Anatomy and Postgraduate Laboratory of ISRA University Hyderabad from October 2020 to March 2021. Twenty-four male, healthy Wistar Albino rats of age from 8-10 weeks and having body weight 250-300 grams, were included in the study. Rats were divided into three groups; each group have same number (n=08) of rats. Group-A (Control), Group-B (Experimental group or Cisplatin group), Group-C (Experimental group or Cisplatin + Resveratrol combination group). Pre- and post-experimental body weight of all animals was measured, blood samples were collected for the biochemical analysis for the oxidative markers, semen parameters, and histo-morphology. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0.
Results: Statistically significant decline in the bodyweight and testicular weight in group B and C respectively (p<0.05). While Group-B had lower sperm count, motility, and viability when compared to Group-C (p<0.05). Group-B also had significantly lower levels of oxidative markers than Group-C (p<0.05). Group- B's testicular histology significantly differed from Group-C's (p<0.05). Seminiferous tubules in Group-B were irregular, regressive, and atrophic.
Conclusion: Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant shows potential in reducing cisplatin-induced oxidative stress and, eventually, testicular toxicity in mice models
Persistent pediatric gastro-intestinal myiasis: A case report of fly larval infestation with musca domestica with review of literature
No full textThe occurrence of dipterous fly larvae in human is termed as human myiasis. Human myiasis can be classified based on clinical condition it causes like cutaneous myiasis, ocular myiasis, urogenital myiasis and intestinal myiasis. Based on the need for a particular host, myiasis can be divided as specific myiasis, semi-specific myiasis. Accidental myiasis results when the fly larvae are deposited/ingested by human resulting in infestation, which is also called as pseudomyiasis. Fly larvae may be present on the dead and decaying organic matter and domestic animals like dog and cats which are naturally infested with fly larvae and can be source for infection in children. Very few cases have been retrieved from literature on the occurrence of intestinal myiasis in children throughout the world. We report a case of two siblings in the same family infested with dipterous fly larvae
Influence of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood infection on different plant growth parameters in Mungbean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek
No full textRoot-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood, is a major threat to mungbean cultivation. The pest causes a significant reduction in plant growth parameters that ultimately results in loss of grain yield. The present study was carried out under glass house condition to study the effect of different inoculum load of root-knot nematode M. incognita on plant growth, nodulation and nematode development and nutrients status of Mungbean. The results revealed a progressive decline in plant growth parameters viz., fresh and dry shoot weight and shoot length with respect to increase in inoculum level. However, fresh and dry root weight showed the opposite trend. The fresh and dry shoot weight was decreased by 44% and 66%, respectively at 4 J2s/g soil. The chlorophyll content in the leaves also decreased with the increase of inoculum level from 100-6000 J2s/pot. Nutrients contents of the plant viz. N, P, K, Ca and Mg were significantly reduced in shoots while in roots these was increased with an increase of inoculum levels. Nodulation was affected by 80% at the highest inoculum level i.e. 6000 J2s/pot. Also leghaemoglobin, bacteroid content and nitrogenase activity was reduced progressively with increased levels of nematode inoculum. Thus, the root-knot nematode, M. incognita interferes with the process of symbiotic nitrogen fixation between mungbean host and rhizobium and that can affect the quality of produce
