Identity Elements of Archaeal tRNA
Features unique to a transfer-RNA are recognized by the corresponding
tRNA-synthetase. Keeping this in view we isolate the discriminating features of
all archaeal tRNA. These are our identity elements. Further, we investigate
tRNA-characteristics that delineate the different orders of archaea
Self Interacting Dark Matter and Dirac neutrinos via Lepton Quarticity
In this paper, we put forward a connection between the self-interacting dark
matter and the Dirac nature of neutrinos. Our exploration involves a discrete symmetry, wherein the Dirac neutrino mass is produced
through a type-I seesaw mechanism. This symmetry not only contributes to the
generation of the Dirac neutrino mass but also facilitates the realization of
self-interacting dark matter with a light mediator that can alleviate
small-scale anomalies of the while being consistent with
the latter at large scales, as suggested by astrophysical observations. Thus
the stability of the DM and Dirac nature of neutrinos are shown to stem from
the same underlying symmetry. The model also features additional relativistic
degrees of freedom of either thermal or non-thermal
origin, within the reach of cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment
providing a complementary probe in addition to the detection prospects of DM.Comment: 13 pages, 13 captioned figures, accepted for publication in Phys.

Severe Oleander Poisoning Presenting with Hyperkalaemia and Unusual Electrocardiographic Changes
Background: Hyperkalaemia in oleander (Nerium oleander) poisoning has been associated with a poor prognosis. Different electrocardiographic (ECG) presentations are possible because of vagotonia and hyperkalaemia. Methods/Results: We report a series of three cases of oleander poisoning in which ECG showed unusual hyperkalaemia features, such as bradyarrhythmia, sinoatrial block, atrioventricular block and junctional rhythm. Conclusions: If arterial blood gas analysis or laboratory values indicate hyperkalaemia in oleander poisoning, the hyperkalaemia should be treated immediately, even if the ECG does not show typical hyperkalaemia features
tRNA-isoleucine-tryptophan Composite Gene
Transfer-RNA genes in archaea often have introns intervening between exon
sequences. The structural motif at the boundary between exon and intron is the
bulge-helix-bulge. Computational investigations of these boundary structures in
H. marismortui lead us to propose that tRNA-isoleucine and tRNA-tryptophan
genes are co-located. Precise insilico identification of the splice-sites on
the bulges at the exon-intron boundaries conduce us to infer that a single
intron-containing composite tRNA-gene can give rise to more than one gene

Pressures in Archaeal Protein Coding Genes: A Comparative Study
Our studies on the bases of codons from 11 completely sequenced archaeal genomes
show that, as we move from GC-rich to AT-rich protein-coding gene-containing
species, the differences between G and C and between A and T, the purine load (AG
content), and also the overall persistence (i.e. the tendency of a base to be followed
by the same base) within codons, all increase almost simultaneously, although the
extent of increase is different over the three positions within codons. These findings
suggest that the deviations from the second parity rule (through the increasing
differences between complementary base contents) and the increasing purine load
hinder the chance of formation of the intra-strand Watson–Crick base-paired
secondary structures in mRNAs (synonymous with the protein-coding genes we dealt
with), thereby increasing the translational efficiency. We hypothesize that the ATrich
protein-coding gene-containing archaeal species might have better translational
efficiency than their GC-rich counterparts
The Level of Entrepreneurship in India
Entrepreneurship plays a paramount role in the magnification and development of the economy of any country. Entrepreneurship acts as a vaccine for a nation's economic prosperity, leading to the generation of employment opportunities, national income, rural development, technological development, industrialization, export promotion, etc. Many institutes and companies are involved in entrepreneurship development activities, and some join these programs as a stepping stone to becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs convert conceptions into economic opportunities through innovations considered a significant source of competitiveness in an increasingly globalizing world economy. Ergo, most regimes strive to augment the supply of competent and ecumenically competitive entrepreneurs in their respective countries. The primary purport of this research is to understand the paramountcy of entrepreneurship in India. Numerous factors need to be considered while expertise the significance of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs experience several opportunities and challenges inside the direction of pursuance in their goals and targets
On the Appearance of a Cooper Minimum in the Photoionization Cross Sections of the Plasma-Embedded Li Atom
The plasma screening effect is found to uncover a Cooper minimum in the photoionization cross sections from the ground state of the Li atom embedded in Debye plasma environment. The variation of the location of this minimum with Debye screening length is discussed and analyzed in terms of the instability of the ground state
