Analysis Of Infographics Usage In Leading Indian Newspapers
Infographics or the visual representation of data is a method to explain the written content in fast and effective way. It is more enriched means of communication. The newspapers in India use infographics to effectively deliver information along with providing design aesthetics to its readers. Use of infographics in Indian newspapers is increasing but nothing can be said assuredly without a scientific study. This study aims to scrutinize the usage pattern of infographics in leading Indian newspapers. For this study six leading newspapers according to Indian readership survey 2019 Quarter 4 have been selected. Three Hindi and English newspapers each have been selected and their usage of infographics has been analyzed.
Results of this study points to usage of simple text-based infographics on the front page of most newspapers. When we compare English newspapers with Hindi newspapers on usage of infographics English newspapers take the lead. Hindi newspapers are slowly adapting to the demands of the present age media designs
Availability and Accessibility of Research Outputs in NARS: A case study with IARI
This article focuses on the trends in publication, authorship pattern, availability, and accessibility of articles during 2008–2010 from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), a constituent of the National Agricultural Research System in India. The data reveal that during the period of study, researchers from IARI produced 1,833 publications, most of which were jointly authored, and that the most preferred journal for publication by researchers is the Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, which is now an Open Access journal. While publications from IARI are available to subscribers of the Consortium for e-Resources in Agriculture (CeRA), public availability to IARI publications is very meager. Hence, in order to make their research output more accessible and available to a wider audience, IARI researchers should deposit their work in IARI’s Open Access repository Eprints@IARI. However, making such a deposit requires an Open Access policy, which IARI is yet to adopt

Precision Medicine for CRC Patients in the Veteran Population: State-of-the-Art, Challenges and Research Directions.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for ~9% of all cancers in the Veteran population, a fact which has focused a great deal of the attention of the VA\u27s research and development efforts. A field-based meeting of CRC experts was convened to discuss both challenges and opportunities in precision medicine for CRC. This group, designated as the VA Colorectal Cancer Cell-genomics Consortium (VA4C), discussed advances in CRC biology, biomarkers, and imaging for early detection and prevention. There was also a discussion of precision treatment involving fluorescence-guided surgery, targeted chemotherapies and immunotherapies, and personalized cancer treatment approaches. The overarching goal was to identify modalities that might ultimately lead to personalized cancer diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes the findings of this VA field-based meeting, in which much of the current knowledge on CRC prescreening and treatment was discussed. It was concluded that there is a need and an opportunity to identify new targets for both the prevention of CRC and the development of effective therapies for advanced disease. Also, developing methods integrating genomic testing with tumoroid-based clinical drug response might lead to more accurate diagnosis and prognostication and more effective personalized treatment of CRC

95-100Salt stress is
one of the major abiotic stresses limiting grain yield in wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.). Wheat
early salt-stress response gene (WESR3)
is one of the major salt stress genes, which is affected in the first phase of
salt stress. In this study, sequence and structural analysis of protein coded
by WESR3 gene was carried out using
various bioinformatics tools. Sequence analysis of WESR3 protein revealed the presence
of highly conserved regions of Mlo
gene family. Three-dimensional modeling was carried out to elucidate its
structure and its active site. The sequence analysis revealed that WESR3
protein might be involved in fungal pathogen attack pathway. Thus, in addition
to its involvement in abiotic stresses, it also seemed to play an important
part in biotic stress pathways. Out of the three modeled protein structures
obtained from I-TASSER, HHPred and QUARK, the I-TASSER protein model was the
best model based on high confidence score and lesser number of bad contacts.
The Ramchandran plot analysis also showed that all amino acid residues of
I-TASSER model lie in the allowed region and thus indicating towards the
overall good quality of the predicted model. Seventeen active sites were
predicted in the protein bearing resemblance to the Mlo family conserved
regions. In conclusion, a detailed analysis of WESR3 protein suggested an
important role of WESR3 in biotic and abiotic stress. These results aid
to the experimental data and help to build up a complete view of WESR3 proteins
and their role in plant stress response.

Development of a High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method for Determination of Letrozole in Wistar Rat Serum and its Application in Pharmacokinetic Studies
A fast, sensitive, and specific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chroma-tographic (RPâHPLC) method for the determination of letrozole in Wistar rat serum was developed. In this method, liquidâliquid extraction of letrozole was achieved using diethyl ether as the extracting solvent. The analysis was carried out on a reversed-phase C18 (250 mm Ă 4.6 mm, 5 ÎŒm) column with an isocratic mobile phase of methanolâwater (70:30,v/v), at a flow rate of 1.0 mL minâ1. Detection was carried out at 239 nm with a UVâvisible spectrophoto-metric detector. The method was shown to be selective and linear over the concentration range of 0.15â100 ÎŒg mLâ1. The intra-day and inter-day precision studies showed good reproducibility with coefficients of variation less than 11% for the analyte. The relative errors of intraâ and interâday accuracy were within â11.52 to â2.26%. The limit of quantification was evaluated to be 0.15 ÎŒg mLâ1. The method was successfully applied for the pharmacokinetic study of letrozole after oral administration of 10 mg kgâ1 of letrozole in six healthy Wistar rats

Vitamin E (VIT-E) and curcumin (CRM) are considered as potent antioxidant small molecules. Nuclear
factor erythroid 2ârelated factor 2(NRF-2) is known to bind with antioxidant response element and
subsequently activate expression of antioxidant enzymes. However, the activation of NRF-2 depends
on removal of its regulator Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(NRF-2). In the current study, an attempt
is made to demonstrate whether effects of VIT-E and CRM are due to direct interaction with the target
proteins (i.e. NRF-2, NRF-2, SOD, catalase and LDH) or by possible interaction with the flanking region
of their promoters by in silico analysis. Further, these results were corroborated by pretreatment of
H9C2 cells (1 x 106 cells per mL of media) with VIT-E (50 lM) and/or CRM (20 lM) for 24 h followed by
induction of oxidative stress via T4 (100 nm) administration and assaying the active oxygen metabol ism. Discriminant function analyses (DFA) indicated that T4 has a definite role in increasing oxidative
stress as evidenced by induction of ROS generation, increase in mitochondrial membrane potential
and elevated lipid peroxidation (LPx). Pretreatment with the two antioxidants have ameliorative effects
more so when given in combination. The decline in biological activities of the principal antioxidant
enzymes SOD and CAT with respect to T4 treatment and its restoration in antioxidant pretreated
group further validated our in silico data.Not Availabl
