First person – Poonam Sehgal
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Poonam Sehgal is the first author on ‘Epidermal growth factor receptor and integrins control force-dependent vinculin recruitment to E-cadherin junctions’, published in Journal of Cell Science. The work in this article was carried out while Poonam was a postdoc in the lab of Dr Deborah Leckband at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA, investigating the mechanism of E-cadherin-mediated force-transduction signaling in epithelial cells.</jats:p
"There are millions of young Indians who feel frustrated with their lives.... I really want the Indian government to take these frustrations seriously." - Snigdha Poonam
No full textLSE South Asia Centre recently invited Snigdha Poonam, journalist at Hindustan Times and author of Dreamers: How Young Indians are Changing the World, for a panel discussion entitled 'Who are the Middle Class in South Asia?' as part of the South Asia Summit 2018. In conversation with Anirbaan Banerjee, she talks about aggressive Indian nationalism, the political and economic frustrations of the middle-class young Indian, women's aspirations and a growing social-political crisis in India

No full textNot AvailableMethods for detection of adulteration in milk with soymilk have been described. The methods are based on (i) differences in optical activity of sugars present in bovine milk vis-à-vis soymilk (polarimetric method), (ii) the differences in isoelectric point of major milk proteins vis-à-vis soy proteins (isoelectric precipitation method), (iii) differences in molecular weights of proteins present in bovine milk vis-à-vis soymilk (SDS-PAGE method), and (iv) the reactivity of soy protein antiserum towards adulterated milk (immunodiffusion method). The adulteration detection limits of immunodiffusion, SDS-PAGE, isoelectric precipitation and polarimetric methods were at levels of 1, 5, 5-10 and 10%, respectively. Although, immunodiffusion method required soy-specific antiserum, the method is sensitive as well as reliable. SDS-PAGE and immunodiffusion methods are not prone to interferences by other adulterants viz., sugars, and neutralizers. These methods can be adapted in quality control labs for checking adulteration in milk with soymilk.Not Availabl
Plastic Discharge in Bali’s Rivers
No full textIndonesia is one of the largest ocean pollutants in the world in terms of plastic emissions. The country has many tourist areas, including the island of Bali, which is the main tourist hub. The plastic problem is large around and on Bali, which has negative consequences for both the environment and the tourism sector. NGOs and the government are trying to tackle the plastic problem, with an increasing effort in the last few years. This research project has been set up to determine which regions and rivers in Bali discharge the most plastic and therefore pollute the ocean the most, and to design a river structure to mitigate plastic emissions to the ocean.For this study, 31 rivers in eight different regions were measured and analysed. All rivers were measured by visual observation, a trawl or a combination of the two. The flow velocity and the width were measured for each river. By means of the average weight of one piece of plastic, the plastic flux could be obtained. The river embankments were systematically assessed for each river. In addition, the wind speed was also measured for each river.The three most polluting rivers of the island are all in different regions. These three rivers will be the most effective to tackle in order to reduce the plastic discharge to the ocean. The study shows that when a river flows through a densely populated area, the river is more polluted, as is the case with the three most polluted rivers.Through a MCA, two effective waste catchment structures were eventually found for the two types of rivers on the island, which are rivers with and without navigation. The structures will remove the plastic from the rivers. The structure for the river that can be closed is the Trash Trap, and for the river that cannot be closed is the Sea Defence Structure.Master project reportCivil Engineering Consultancy Project | CIE4061-09 | MP287Civil Engineering | Hydraulic Engineerin
Financing of Litigation by Third-Party Investors: A Share of Justice?
No full textThis article addresses the issue of the funding of civil litigation within the framework of access to justice and the normative goal of increasing access to the civil justice system. The author critically analyzes and cautiously advances the case for the recent development of the financing of litigation by third-party investors. The argument is that investor financing has the potential to increase access to the civil justice system by ameliorating the economic barriers to litigation. The author evaluates investor financing against existing public and private models of financing litigation such as legal aid plans, litigation subsidy funds, and contingent fee arrangements. The doctrines against maintenance and champerty, which prohibit third parties from providing financial assistance to litigants, are reviewed and analyzed in order to assess the enforceability of financing agreements between plaintiffs and investors. The author then examines the market that is likely to develop for the financing of litigation and analyzes regulation that may be required to protect investors and plaintiffs. The author evaluates policy concerns in relation to the wide-spread availability of investor financing and concludes that such concerns are either misguided or can be addressed by implementing appropriate regulatory safeguards
Response on Phenological, Fruiting Behaviour and Growth Characteristics of F1 Candidates Rootstock Seedlings of Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
No full textAim: The aim of present study was to evaluate the flowering and fruiting behaviour of different variety of peach, plum along with growth characteristics of their F1 hybrids and identification hybrid rootstocks for future genetic improvement.
Study Design: The experiment was designed in Randomized Block Design Factorial with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: Rootstock hybridization programme were carried out at main fruit research station Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab during 2016-17 and 2017-18.
Methodology: Rootstock hybridization programme were carried out with three varieties two peach namely Sharbati and Flordaguard and one plum Kala amritsari and study the phenological, fruiting behavior and growth performance of seedlings of parents and F1 hybrids.
Results: Higher days from full bloom to maturity take by Sharbati × Flordaguard (129.4 Days) and minimum in Kala amritsari × Flordaguard (111.1 Days). For completion of stratification seeds of Sharbati and Sharbati × Flordaguard took maximum days for stratification (90-105 Days and 30-105 Days, respectively) and minimum in Flordaguard (30-60 Days). Seed germination % higher in Flordaguard (97.15%) and minimum in Sharbati × Kala amritsari (70.81%). Pollen viability in stored and fresh pollen was highest in Flordaguard (96.26 and 97.58%), while, minimum in Sharbati (90.89% and 96.60%). Leaf colour values (L, a, b, chroma and hue) maximum were in Sharbati and minimum in Flordaguard and leaf colour values of both hybrids, were as Flordaguard. Maximum chlorophyll (SPAD units) were recorded in Flordaguard × Sharbati (42.87) which was at par with the SAPD values of Sharbati × Flordaguard. Leaves of Flordaguard and both the hybrids showed dark reddish green colour on upper and light reddish green in lower side of leaves. Seedlings of Sharbati, Sharbati × Flordaguard and Flordaguard × Sharbati showed better growth characteristics as compares to seedlings of Flordaguard.
Conclusion: The advance candidate hybrid rootstocks may be useful for further exploitation for genetic improvement and development of rootstock with good nursery characters.</jats:p
