EFFECTS OF ALIEN WEEDS ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY OF GREEN GRAM AND MUSTARD

The allelopathic potential of leachates, extracts, decomposed residues depends upon the type and quantity of allelochemicals existing in them. The allelopathic stimulation or inhibition in recipient plants and their response also depends on the way they are exposed to the allelochemicals. The allelopathic impact of leachates and extracts (foliar application) and residue (soil application) was analyzed on the test-crop. The results clearly indicated the inhibitory nature of the treatments at higher concentrations on mungbean and mustard. The changed manifestations recorded in treated plants at different levels are usually through the alterations in very important physiological process in the plant body like photosynthesis. It was observed by the change in the contents of different chlorophyll pigments, which ultimately must have affected the process of photosynthesis. The results indicated that at higher concentration treatments there was considerable reduction in both the test crops

Social Issues: Reproductive Rights

Sexual and reproductive rights revolve around individuals being able to make a choice about their own reproductive health. Abortion, the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, is a controversial topic that has been the subject of debate for decades. Arguments surrounding these disputes are not limited to discussions about abortions but also ethical and political ones. They introduce crucial conversations about bodily autonomy, marginalized communities, the privacy of today’s youth, and the misogyny woven within these restrictions. There are two leading sides to this conflict: pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice supporters advocate for the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, as it revolves around bodily autonomy. Pro-life supporters believe that the termination of a fetus is morally wrong and oppose abortion, as it involves ending the life of an unborn child. This project aims to explore the historical change of abortion in America as well as the importance of abortion activism in ensuring reproductive rights for everyone. The objective of our Student Leadership Exchange (SLX) is to introduce a bill called the Youth Access to Reproductive Rights. The Youth Access to Reproductive Rights Bill provides pregnant minors with access to safe and legal abortion care without requiring parental/guardian involvement or consent. The bill includes provisions to protect minors from discrimination and establish procedures in cases where a minor is unable or unwilling to obtain parental or guardian consent for an abortion. These policies would require the minor to talk to a qualified healthcare provider about the essential information, so they can make an educated decision. The bill also mandates healthcare providers to provide confidential and non-judgmental counseling and abortion care services to minors and inform them of their right to seek an abortion without parental involvement or consent. This bill will enforce proper education and procedures, so minors may be informed about their rights and possible paths they can take. It is imperative that the government takes the necessary measures to protect and enlighten America’s youth; this bill will not only ensure minors are educated about their right to healthcare, but it will also save the lives of thousands

STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT OF AQUA SILENCER

Aqua Silencer is a improved variant of a conventional silencer aimed at the reduction of toxic emission from the exhaust of an IC engine into the atmosphere and also to reduce the noise that is produced by damping methods which involves lime water solution and hence its name is Aqua silencer. The objective of this project is to design & fabricate a simple system, where the toxic levels are controlled through chemical reaction to the more agreeable level. An Aqua Silencer is fitted to the exhaust pipe of engine and perforated plates used for maintain the constant flow of exhaust of the engine towards the outlet of aqua silencer, Hence reduce the noise and controls the emissions. Aqua silencer is cheaper, effective and easy to install and maintain

Phytotoxic effects of leaf leachates of an invasive weed Cassia uniflora and Characterization of its Allelochemical

ABSTRACT Cassia uniflora Mill. Non Spreng. a dominant invasive weed from Ganeshkhind area has affected the phytodiversity of Pune University campus (M.S., India). Its leaf leachates inhibited seed germination and seedling growth in test crops like tomato and brinjal at all the concentrations indicating their phytotoxic nature. However, maximum inhibition was recorded at higher concentrations (17.5 -20%). The allelopathic leaf leachates had also adversely influenced the seedling physiology in both the vegetables. Hence to investigate its phytotoxic nature, isolation and characterization of allelochemicals in it, was undertaken. The leaf samples of Cassia showed the presence of a branched chain saturated aliphatic ester (C 16 H 32 O 2 ) which is Dodecane-4yl -butyrate

Sperm activation through orbital and self-axis revolutions using an artificial cilia embedded serpentine microfluidic platform

Abstract The zebrafish sperm activation profoundly depends upon the homogeneous mixing of the sperm cells with its diluent in a quick succession as it alters the cell’s extracellular medium and initiates their motility. Manual stirring, the traditional method for zebrafish sperm activation is tedious, time-consuming, and has a poor outcome. In this aspect, an artificial cilia embedded serpentine microfluidic is designed through which hydrodynamic factors of the microfluidic environment can be precisely regulated to harness uniform mixing, hence ensuring a superior sperm activation. To quantify the sperm motility, computer assisted sperm analysis software (CASA) was used whereas to quantify the generated flow field, micro particle image velocimetry (μPIV) was used. With this proposed microfluidic, 74.4% of the zebrafish sperm were activated which is 20% higher than its currently existing manual measurements. The μPIV analysis demonstrates that the curvature of the microchannel induces an orbital rotation to the flow field along the length of the microchannel together with the artificial cilia actuation which instigates a local rotation to the flow field of the artificial cilia location. The collective rotation in the whole flow field induce vorticity that promotes the change in temporal dynamics of the sperm cells towards their activation

Studies on aerial parts of Artemisia pallens wall for phenol, flavonoid and evaluation of antioxidant activity

Herbs have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. According to recent investigations, they may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, cardiovascular disease, and cancer due to antioxidant properties, which in turn can be attributed to the various phytoconstituents. With this intention, evaluation of antioxidant activity was performed. Methanol extract of aerial parts of Artemisia pallens Wall was screened for its antioxidant activity due to phenolic and flavonoid contents, by employing radical scavenging assays; 2,2 –diphenyl, 1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard. Quantitative determination of phenols and flavonoids were carried out using spectrophotometric method. Total flavonoid content was determined as quercetin equivalent and total phenolic content was determined as pyrocatechol equivalent using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Plant produces more phenolic compounds than flavonoids. IC50 value of methanol extract for DPPH free radical scavenging activity was found to be 292.7 μg, whereas for nitric oxide it was 204.61 μg. The result obtained in the present study indicates that the aerial parts of this plant are a rich source of natural antioxidant
