Spectrophotometric estimation was done by simultaneous equation method and 50 % methanol as solvent. In this method λmax for LEVO and OZ were selected at 293.5nm and 318nm. RP-HPLC analysis was carried out using Prontosil C-18 column (4.6 x 250mm, 5μ particle size) and mobile phase composed of Acetonitrile: 0.05 % Ortho-phosphoric acid in water pH 3.0 (45:55 % v/v)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and chromatogram was recorded at 303 nm. Linearity was evaluated over the concentration range of 4-20 μg/ml and 8-40 μg/mL for LEVO and OZ in both UV spectrophotometric and RP-HPLC method (the value of r 2 Keywords

Sojat Goat Farming: A turning point in goat farming
No full text<p><span>Agriculture is the country's lifeline and a key sector which provides livelihood to millions poor people in India which is mainly based on monsoon rain fall. The livestock act as a augment income of the farmers, particularly in drought prone Rajasthan state. India is a rich source of the goat gene pool; there are 37 breeds of goat recognized by the National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources, Karnal (NBAGR, 2023). Goat rearing in India is a very successful enterprise with minimal investment. Goat farming may be done on a local or huge industrial scale. Goats are referred as the "poor man's cow" since they offer high returns and may be used as an investment source. Sojat goat farming may be the turning point in goat rearing in Rajasthan. Sojat goats, which are huge and dual-purpose, are dispersed in Rajasthan's Pali, Jodhpur, Nagaur, and Jaisalmer districts.</span></p>

Lead–carbon hybrid ultracapacitors fabricated by using sulfur, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide as anode material derived from spent lithium-ion batteries
No full textThe electrochemical-grade natural graphite flake prices are increasing day by day. Reusing and recycling graphite materials from the spent lithium-ion battery (LIB) is a prospective way to overcome the issue. This report presents the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) from spent LIB by the improved Hummers method followed by calcination at 600 °C (RGO-600). S, N-RGO-600 was prepared by doping sulfur and nitrogen with RGO-600 through hydrothermal synthesis. Assynthesized S, N-RGO-600s have sheet-like morphology having uniform heteroatom doping. S- and N-doped RGO-600 delivers 375 F g−1 at 5 A g−1 compared to RGO-600 of 233 F g−1 and retains > 98% capacitance over 20,000 cycles. The lead–carbon hybrid ultracapacitors fabricated using in-situ activated PbO2 as cathode and S, N-RGO-600 composite electrode as anode deliver a specific capacitance of 564 F g−1 at 5 A g−1 and retain 90% capacitance after 15,000 cycles. The high capacitance and stable cycle life of RGO and S, N-RGO are due to easy access of electrolyte ions through mesoporous and layered graphitic carbons with redox-active functional moieties of sulfur and nitrogen. This work illustrates an easy and scalable synthesis root for RGO and S, N-RGO.

Synergies of co-infecting pathogens, sea lice (Lepeophetheirus salmonis) and Moritella viscosa, are impacted by exposure order, and host response to initial infection
No full textSea lice infestations and winter ulcer disease caused by Moritella viscosa are two major challenges for the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture industry. Despite their common tropisms for the skin/muscle, we know very little about the interaction between these two significant pathogens. The objective of this study was to elucidate the transcriptomic response of Atlantic salmon to sea louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) and M. viscosa under single infection and different scenarios of co-infection (i.e., first, L. salmonis and then, M. viscosa and vice versa). After exposure, sampling was performed from the infestation site as well as the adjacent area on fish skin, followed by transcriptome analysis. RNA-seq analysis revealed that infection with either L. salmonis or M. viscosa induced a significant immune response from the skin and resulted in extensive transcriptomic changes. More differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected at M. viscosa lesion sites compared to L. salmonis attachment sites. In addition, the effect of the infection order was evaluated. Interestingly, we found that primary infection with lice was associated with a significantly higher number of DEGs during the co-infection process on fish skin compared to the fish first infected with M. viscosa (721 and 5336 DEGs from lice attachment and M. viscosa lesion sites, respectively, vs 291 and 3601 DEGs from lice attachment and M. viscosa lesion sites, respectively). We also found that lice infection caused localized effects on the skin of Atlantic salmon, while single infection with M. viscosa caused a moderate systemic impact and inhibited the tissue repair function of the skin, leading to severe ulceration. In addition, the C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway was drastically activated at the lice attachment sites during both lice alone- and co-infections, regardless of the order of infections, and similar results were observed in M. viscosa infection at both lesion and adjacent sites, indicating that this pathway played an essential role for immunity in Atlantic salmon. A more intense inflammatory and immune response was also observed at M. viscosa lesion sites. These results will promote our understanding of the immune interactions between L. salmonis and M. viscosa during the co-infection process and provide insights for the development of preventive and treatment strategies for these pathogens in salmonid aquaculture
Estimation of Water Requirement of Different Field Crops Grown in Tons Pump Canal Command Area of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India
No full textThe estimation of water requirements for different field crops was conducted in the Tons Pump Canal Command Area of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, utilizing twenty-five years of meteorological data. The study aimed to determine the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and crop water requirements for major crops cultivated in the region, including wheat, paddy, barley, millet, pea, potato, sugarcane, mustard, til, Arhar, and gram. The Penman-Monteith equation was employed to calculate ETo, which ranged from 2.27 mm to 6.80 mm per day. The estimated crop water requirements were found to be 53.84 cm for wheat, 16.43 cm for paddy, 32.88 cm for barley, 6.38 cm for pea, 25.39 cm for potato, 70.02 cm for sugarcane, 33.31 cm for mustard, 150.23 cm for til, 38.38 cm for Arhar, 3.57 cm for gram, and 4.98 cm for another crop. Notably, millet required no additional irrigation. These findings provide valuable insights into the water management needs of field crops in the Tons Pump Canal Command Area, assisting in efficient irrigation planning and sustainable water resource utilization. The study underscores the importance of crop-specific water management strategies to optimize agricultural productivity in the region

Effect of alloying on the electrochemical performance of Sb and Sn deposits as an anode material for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries
No full textHerein, we report the electrochemical performance of galvanostatically electrodeposited antimony, tin, and their binary alloy antimony-tin as anode materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. The antimony-tin anodes deliver an initial capacity of 820 and 686 mAh g−1, with a stable capacity retention of ~ 560 and ~ 400 mAh g−1 for 50 cycles, in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, respectively. Significant capacity fade observed in individual metal anodes during cycling is due to large volume change, which is addressed to a certain extent by implementing an intermetallic antimony-tin alloy anode. Besides, the inclusion of carbon nanotube in binary alloy to synthesis antimony-tin-carbon nanotube nanocomposite significantly improves the capacities to ~ 600 and ~ 440 mAh g−1 for lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery, respectively, over 50 cycles. The improvement in the capacity and cycling stability of the antimony-tin-carbon nanotube nanocomposite electrode is ascribed to the increase in conductivity, structural stability, and controlled morphology growth. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature
