Three of these six species were originally described from SW China; <i>P. sinica</i>, <i>P. pachystachya</i> W.H.Chen & Y.M.Shui (Chen & Shui 2003: 489) and <i>P. minutiflora</i> N.Tanaka, J.Murata & S.K.Wu (Tanaka <i>et al.</i> 2013: 135). The new species is distinguishable from them chiefly by the larger leaf blades with more numerous longitudinal veins, longer peduncle, larger drooping (vs ascending) flowers, internally whitish yellow (vs purple or greenish purple) perianth, larger corona with a relatively narrow distal opening, and almost superior (vs distinctly half-inferior) ovary. The other three of the six species were described from NE India; <i>P. arunachalensis</i> (Roy <i>et al.</i> 2017), <i>P. nagalandensis</i> and <i>P. tobuensis</i> (Odyuo <i>et al.</i> 2020). <i>P.maheswariana</i> sp. nov. differs from <i>P.arunachalensis</i> mainly by the longer leaf blades (20-40 vs 16.5-21.5 cm), longer racemes (6-15 vs 2-3 cm), more numerous flowers (18-30 vs 7-10), and shorter anthers (1.2-1.3 vs 3-3.5 mm); from <i>P. tobuensis</i> by the longer racemes (6-15 vs 2-4 cm), orbicular (vs hexagonal) corona and longer anthers (1.2-1.3 vs 0.3-0.4 mm); from <i>P. nagalandensis</i> by its shorter anthers (1.2-1.3 vs 2-2.5 mm) and almost superior (vs inferior) ovaries. Several selected key distinguishing characters of <i>P. maheswariana</i> sp. nov. and four other related species are compared in Table 1. For the details of differences between the six previously known long-caulescent species and an identification key to them, see Odyuo <i>et al.</i> (2020).</p> <p> The long, proximally creeping stem of these seven species (including <i>P.maheswariana</i> sp. nov.) is deemed as apomorphic (vs acaulescent or short stem). The species having this trait are hence regarded as members of a monophyletic group. It is highly desirable to conduct a further analysis of their evolutionary relationships.</p>Published as part of <i>Borah, Dipankar, Taram, Momang & Tanaka, Noriyuki, 2024, Peliosanthes maheswariana D.

Understanding and addressing microplastic pollution: Impacts, mitigation, and future perspectives
No full textImproper disposal of household and industrial waste into water bodies has transformed them into de facto dumping grounds. Plastic debris, weathered on beaches degrades into micro-particles and releases chemical additives that enter the water. Microplastic contamination is documented globally in both marine and freshwater environments, posing a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems. The small size of these particles makes them susceptible to ingestion by low trophic fauna, a trend expected to escalate. Ingestion leads to adverse effects like intestinal blockages, alterations in lipid metabolism, histopathological changes in the intestine, contributing to the extinction of vulnerable species and disrupting ecosystem balance. Notably, microplastics (MPs) can act as carriers for pathogens, potentially causing impaired reproductive activity, decreased immunity, and cancer in various organisms. Studies have identified seven principal sources of MPs, including synthetic textiles (35%) and tire abrasion (28%), highlighting the significant human contribution to this pollution. This review covers various aspects of microplastic pollution, including sources, extraction methods, and its profound impact on ecosystems. Additionally, it explores preventive measures, aiming to guide researchers in selecting techniques and inspiring further investigation into the far-reaching impacts of microplastic pollution, fostering effective solutions for this environmental challenge
Assamese Identity Issues: A Chapter Review of 'India's North-East: Identity Movements, State and Civil Society'
No full textThis commentary article discusses the chapter titled ‘Assam: Identity Movements and Insurgent Politics’ – ‘Assamese Identity Issues’ in Udayon Misra's book "India’s North East: Identity Movements, State and Civil Society" (2014), focusing on the Assam movement and its implications for Assamese identity. The author sheds light on how the movement was centered around the issues and questions between foreign migrants and indigenous people, highlighting the struggle for linguistic identity and the yearning for a unified homeland. The commentary also underscores the need for social and political cohesion, effective conflict management, and inclusive governance to ensure a peaceful resolution and foster the development of Assamese society. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical context, starting with rich debates spanning over many decades
Front End to Back End- Compiler Design
No full textAbstract: This research article explains how source code is assessed at the Front End and Back End of the compiler and which sections source code must pass and parse in order to generate target code. Furthermore, this paper discusses the concept of Pre-processors, Translators, Linkers, and Loaders, as well as the mechanism for using them and produces the code for the target The focus of this paper is on the concept of Compiler and Compiler Phases.

Construction of Seawall - Useful or Harmful for Biodiversity Conservation
No full textNot AvailableA seawall is useful to protect coastal infrastructure and lives from the wave action of the ocean. There are various forms of seawall present and it is made up based on the requirement and nature of wave action of the ocean. The seawall is not only useful in modern days but they are harmful to the coastal biodiversity.
Coastal species have disappeared after seawall formation because many species sustained high wave action and periodic inundation of seawater. Moreover, the loss of beaches has also been reported in many studies.Not Availabl
Economic Analysis of Fish Farmers and Fishers in Kamrup District, Assam, India
No full textThis study was conducted to explore the understanding of economic condition of Fish farmers and Fishers in inland fisheries of Assam, a north-eastern state of India that is rich in inland fisheries resources and represent the condition of many developing countries. A survey of 60 fish farmers and 60 fishers was conducted in Kamrup, a representative district of the Indian state, from 1 October to 31 December 2015.Fish farmers and fishers are selected randomly. An ex-post-facto research design was followed to carry out the study that have already occurred .A structured Interview schedule was developed incorporating relevant points to accomplish the objectives set for the study. It is observed that fish farmers of Bazera development block are lagging behind from fish farmers of Hajo Development Block. The study also revealed that fish farmers has a better income as compared to fishers purely from fisheries sector alone and block wise analysis revealed that Hajo Development Block is better positioned in terms of the income of both fishers and fish farmers as compared to Bezera Development Block. This paper explores to understand the status and cause of existing income so that developmental policies and conservation measure of resource can be oriented in right perspective
