Aims: To make three dimensional structure of native and mutated matrix protein (M) of Nipah Virus (NiV) and to establish conformational and functional comparison between the two. Study Design: All in-silico analysis were performed using various online and offline software. Place...
Assuming the ground reaction force of both feet to be the same in the same phase of a stride cycle, we establish the relationships between the time of initial foot contact and the ground reaction force, acceleration, velocity, displacement and average kinetic energy of center of...
Aims: The kinetic features of neem biodiesel production were studied to establish the conversion parameters that govern optimal product yield in minimum reaction span. The mechanistic features of the dual acid/base catalytic conversion were investigated to gain an insight into th...
Aim: The objective of the present work was to optimize the environmental parameters for Cellulase (1,4 β-endoglucanase, E.C.3.2.1:4) production using Penicillium citrinum MTCC 9620 in Solid State Fermentation. Study Design: One unit of Cellulase (1,4 β-endoglucanase, E.C.3.2.1:4)...
To date, the lack of a clinically-suitable source of engraftable human stem/progenitor cells with adequate neurogenic potential has been the major setback in developing safe and effective cell-based therapies for regenerating the damaged or lost CNS structure and circuitry in a w...
Aims: In order to do the functional analysis of apomixis-specific gene (ASG-1), which was isolated from apomictic guineagrass, the sweet potato was used to establish an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Study Design: At first, plant regeneration was achieved from the...
Aims: The aims of this work were 1) To evaluate the performance of a submerged biofiltration system for the treatment of a surfactant-enriched wastewater that had been generated by a soil washing process. 2) To evaluate the effect of the flux and organic load over the performance...
The ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and its attendant pollution menace has provided the pedigree to consider alternative sources of energy. An investigation was launched into the design and construction of an Anaerobic Digester system from locally available raw materials usi...
This study was undertaken to evaluate the most suitable concentration of plant growth regulators and suitable explants for callus induction and subsequent organogenesis of an endangered medicinal plant Ceropegia pusilla. The best performance of callus induction and morphogenesis...
The present study describes an efficient and reproducible protocol for micropropagation of S. acmella. Shoot tips taken from 3 week-old aseptic seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) semi-solid medium supplemented with different concentrations of TDZ. Among various c...
Penicillin G acylase was immobilized onto iron oxide nanoparticles coated with polyethyleneimine and then cross linked with glutaraldehyde solution. The FTIR spectrum of immobilized enzyme showed peak at 1648cm-1 which can be attributed to the C=N bonds of Schiff’s base linkage f...
Aim: Consumption of C. tora and C. sophera of family caesalpinaceae as leafy vegetables by local folklore has initiated this study to investigate the cytotoxic effect and antiangiogenic effect of their leaf extracts on human cancer cell lines and chick embryo respectively. Study...
Molecular analysis for a set of hexaploid (Triticum aestvium) and tetraploid (Triticum durum) wheat cultivars was investigated by applying 11 SSR primers set. The plant materials consisted of 45 genotypes 15 of which were Triticum aestivum and 30 of T. durum obtained from four di...

Aims: To inhibit of bacterial growth of three important phyto-pathogenic bacteria: Erwinia carotovora, Clavibacter michiganensis sp. michiganensis and Xanthomonas axonopodis by cell-free extracts from submerged cultures of two strains of Enterococcus sp. was tested. Study Design...
Aim: Sex-dependent differences in kidney histology have been observed in different species of the laboratory animals. The present study was conducted to evaluate the sex and strain-dependent changes in DBA/2CrSlc mouse kidney morphology by using light microscopy and immunohistoch...
