Effect of gibberellic acid and some polyphenols on the flowering of Impatiens balsamina
Chlorogenic acid, tannic acid and gibberellic acid (GA3) all induce floral buds in I. balsamina under strictly non-inductive photoperiods. Floral bud initiation is hastened when 100 mg/l GA3 is used in combination with both polyphenols, the effect being most pronounced with 100 mg/l chlorogenic acid. 1 and 100 mg/l each of chlorogenic and tannic acids increase the number of floral buds also when used in combination with 100 mg/l GA3 as compared with 100 mg/l GA3 alone

Water Quality Assessment of Brahma Sarovar: A Sacred Lake at Kurukshetra (India)
Brahama Sarovar, in Kurukshetra city (India), is an ancient sacred lake where devotees perform various religious activities/offerings on daily basis, and on special occasions of solar and lunar eclipses, millions of pilgrims all over the country have mass bathing (holy-dip) for internal and external purity. Along with religious importance, this artificial lake also acts as a sacred grove/wetland that serves as an important wintering and stopover site for migratory birds from the Palearctic region. The study was carried out with the objective to analyze the improvement in water quality status after the provision of a closed conduit for the supply of fresh water to the lake and additional measures required for public health safety. For this, the water quality of this sacred lake has been spatially analyzed and compared with Indian standards prescribed for ‘Designated Best Use Class-B: Outdoor Bathing (Organised)’ in the present study. Though the parameters – pH (7.94 within the limits of 6.5-8.5), turbidity (3.63 < 5 NTU), TDS (222.33 < 500 mg/L), TSS (100.25 mg/L) and MPN (239.25 ≤ 500 per 100 ml) were observed to be within the permissible limits, but DO (4.7 ≤ 5.0 mg/L) and BOD (3.54 ≥ 3.0 mg/L) of the lake water were found beyond the permissible limits. Thus, making the lake water unfit for human use for bathing. The comparison with the previous two studies revealed that the lake’s water quality has improved in the last couple of years through the provision of a closed conduit, in place of an open channel, for the supply of fresh canal water to the lake. A couple of additional measures have also been suggested to maintain the water quality standards in the lake so as to protect the human health of the devotees and pilgrims
Mitochondrial Sirtuins and Their Relationships with Metabolic Disease and Cancer
Significance: Maintenance of metabolic homeostasis is critical for cellular and organismal health. Proper regulation of mitochondrial functions represents a crucial element of overall metabolic homeostasis. Mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5) play pivotal roles in promoting this homeostasis by regulating numerous aspects of mitochondrial metabolism in response to environmental stressors. Recent Advances: New work has illuminated multiple links between mitochondrial sirtuins and cancer. SIRT5 has been shown to regulate the recently described post-translational modifications succinyl-lysine, malonyl-lysine, and glutaryl-lysine. An understanding of these modifications is still in its infancy. Enumeration of SIRT3 and SIRT5 targets via advanced proteomic techniques promises to dramatically enhance insight into functions of these proteins. Critical Issues: In this review, we highlight the roles of mitochondrial sirtuins and their targets in cellular and organismal metabolic homeostasis. Furthermore, we discuss emerging roles for mitochondrial sirtuins in suppressing and/or promoting tumorigenesis, depending on the cellular and molecular context. Future Directions: Currently, hundreds of potential SIRT3 and SIRT5 molecular targets have been identified in proteomic experiments. Future studies will need to validate the major targets of these enzymes, and elucidate how acetylation and/or acylation modulate their functionality. A great deal of interest exists in targeting sirtuins pharmacologically; this endeavor will require development of sirtuin-specific modulators (activators and inhibitors) as potential treatments for cancer and metabolic disease.

The impact of maternal body mass index on maternal and perinatal outcome
Background: The incidence of obesity has increased to pandemic proportions over the last 20 years. Obesity is a chronic illness which is associated with metabolic disease, nutritional deficiency, musculoskeletal complications and carcinomas. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the maternal and perinatal outcome in patients with BMI 20-24.9 kg/m2 (normal), with BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 (overweight) and with BMI >30 kg/m2 (obese).Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 singleton pregnant women with gestational age>37 weeks with cephalic presentation. The selected women were categorized into three groups of 100 each according to their BMI: Category I included normal women (BMI 20-24.9 kg/m2), Category II included overweight women (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2) and Category III included obese women (BMI >30 kg/m2).Results: There was increased incidence of antepartum complications in obese women. The difference in the occurrence of pre-eclampsia among the three categories was statistically significant (p=0.001). Similarly, more obese women had eclampsia (5%) and gestational diabetes mellitus (6%) as compared to overweight and normal women and the difference was statistically significant in both these complications (p=0.02 for each). The risk of induction of labour was highest in obese women and so was the incidence of caesarean and instrumental deliveries and the difference was statistically significant. The difference in the onset of labour as well as mode of delivery among the three categories was statistically significant (p4 kg) among babies of three BMI categories was statistically significant (p<0.05). The difference in the incidence of NICU admissions was statistically significant (p=0.02).Conclusions: Obesity is an independent risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes and hence preventable steps should be taken for reducing the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality
Concomitant of Order Statistics from New Bivariate Gompertz Distribution
For the new bivariate Gompertz distribution, the expression for probability density function (pdf) of rth order statistics and pdf of concomitant arising from rth order statistics are derived. The properties of concomitant arising from the corresponding order statistics are used to derive these results. The exact expression for moment generating function (mgf) of concomitant of order rth statistics is derived. Also, the mean of concomitant arising from rth order statistics is computed using the mgf of concomitant of rth order statistics, and the exact expression for joint density of concomitant of two non-adjacent order statistics are derived
Online) An Open Access
ABSTRACT A simulated annealing approach to the assignment of program tasks to processors in a distributed computer system is presented. Tasks of a program require certain capacitated computer resources. They also communicate at a given rate. Processors are interconnected by a communication network constituted of various types of links: local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) and specialised links. The communication resources are also capacitated. The purpose is to find the assignment of tasks to processors such that a measure of performance is optimised, the requirements of each task are met and the capacities of the resources are not violated. Various versions of the problem are identified and formulated. The design of the simulated annealing algorithm to solve the most general version is then described. The results of computational experience are reported
The influence of solar radiations to the physical and structuralproperties of CR-39
Long chain polymers owe many of their properties to the structural
arrangements of their molecules and are extensively used for many industrial and
applied sciences. One of such application is their perspective use in the field of
solid-state nuclear track detectors. However they are profoundly influenced by low
LET radiations exposure and new structural arrangements may emerge. CR-39 is one of
the most popular polymeric track detectors, however its aliphatic nature restricts
its applications. Thus in the present investigations the damage densities produced
by solar radiations to the polymer have been estimated by analyzing the structural,
physical and etching properties of the polymer. The polymer is found to be highly
sensitive towards solar radiations and great changes in physical and structural
properties of polymer have been observed. The sensitivity of the polymer has been
found to decrease by 83.40% during eight months.The influence of solar radiations to the physical and structuralproperties of CR-39
