Graviton modes in multiply warped geometry

The negative results in the search for Kaluza-Klein graviton modes at the LHC, when confronted with the discovery of the Higgs, has been construed to have severely limited the efficacy of the Randall-Sundrum model as an explanation of the hierarchy problem. We show, though, that the presence of multiple warping offers a natural resolution of this conundrum through modifications in both the graviton spectrum and their couplings to the Standard Model fields.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figure

PROSPECT OF HERBS AS HAIR GROWTH POTENTIAL

Herbal medicine is still the mainstay of about 70-80% of the world Population mainly in the developing countries for Primary Health Care because better cultural acceptability better, compatibility with the human body and lesser medicine or only palliative therapy is available.

PHARMACOGNOSTIC COMPARISON OF BACOPA MONNIERI, CYPERUS ROTUNDUS & EMBLICA OFFICINALIS

 In the last few decades, a curious thing has happened to Herbal medicines. Instead of being killed off by medical science and pharmaceutical chemistry, it has made come back. Herbal medicine has benefited from the objective analysis of the medical science, while fanciful and emotional claims for herbal cures have been thrown out, herbal treatments and plant medicine that works have been acknowledge. And herbal medicine has been found to have impressive credentials. Developed empirically by trial and error, many herbal treatments were nevertheless remarkably effective. In a recent survey estimated that 39% of all 520 new approved drugs in 1983-1994 were natural products or derived from natural products and 60-80% of antibacterial and anticancer drugs were derived from natural products. Medicinal plants play an important role in the development of potent therapeutic agents. Plant derived drugs came into use in the modern medicine through the uses of plant material as indigenous cure in folklore or traditional systems of medicine. Bacopa Monnieri, Cyperus Rotundus & Emblica Offcinalis (Brahmi, Nagarmotha, Amla) have several chemical compounds have been isolated from these herbs which are useful in treating number of diseases like : Diarrhea, Vomiting, Indigestion, Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiviral, Hair Growth, Hair Wash, Anti-Oxidant, Anti-Convulsant, Analgesic, Anti-Allergic, Antifungal, Cardiac Depressant And Cardio-Tonic etc. These reported therapeutic activities are due to the presence of Phyto-chemicals present in these Herbs. Even Ayurveda has recognizes the nutritional elements derived from foods, and rasayanas which help to optimize the availability of essential nutrients†in the body.KEYWORDS: Bacopa Monnieri, Cyperus Rotundus, Emblica Officinalis, Medicinal plants, Antibacterial, Cardio-Tonic, Hair growth, Herbal plants, Ayurveda, Brahmi, Nagarmotha, Amla, Essential Nutrients, Herbal Cosmetics, Physico-chemical, Chemical Constituents, Inorganic Components, Phyto-Constituent, Pharmacological and Traditional Properties

Assessment of Personality Traits and Their Changes Over the Undergraduate Medical Course: A Pseudo-longitudinal Analysis among Indian Medical Students

Background: Personality of medical students have been shown to affect both their academic performance as well as their capabilities to develop rapport with patients, with evidence that they change through the medical course. This research aimed to explore the personality traits of undergraduate medical students and assess whether personality parameters changed throughout the medical education course. Methods: A pseudo-longitudinal design was utilized for this study. A total of 346 MBBS students studying in a Medical College of Eastern India were recruited at different stages of their coursework. These participants were similar in their sociodemographic makeup and differed only with respect to their year of MBBS study. The personality characteristics were assessed among these participants using the short-form revised Eysenck personality inventory. Results: The minimum possible score for each subscale was 0, and the maximum was 12. Mean scores of the participants for the extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie scales were 6.17±3.09, 7.51±3.16, 3.40±1.61, and 4.98±2.48, respectively. Females scored significantly higher in neuroticism and lie dimensions. There were significant differences of psychoticism scores between rural and urban background participants. Significant negative trend was seen from the first to the final year of study in the extraversion dimension (Kendall’s tau =-0.094, p-value=0.025). Conclusion: Medical students in India scored high on the neuroticism and low on the psychoticism scales of personality with a trend of increasing extraversion over the years of their coursework

Preparation of Undoped and Phosphorus Doped μc-Si:H Films: Effect of Extended Period of Hydrogen Plasma Annealing in Interrupted Growth

Interrupted growth and H-plasma annealing of stacking layers of Si:H film resulted in a significant improvement in material properties towards microcrystallization. Increase of dark conductivity and reduction of optical absorption due to extended period of hydrogen plasma exposure was noted. An associated improvement in the network structure towards crystallinity was observed by Raman, TEM and XRD studies. Highly conducting ( σD ~ 6 × 10-3 s. cm-1) undoped mc-Si:H films have been prepared at significantly low thickness of 650 Å. P-doped mc-Si:H films having conductivity ~ 26.2 S.cm-1 were obtained from very low level of PH3 dilution. Large number of dopants introduce additional defects at the grain boundary and inhibits the crystallization process
