Qualitative Tests for Preliminary Phytochemical Screening and Antihelmintic Activity of Root Extract of Crossandra infundibuliformis

Crossandra infundibuliformis is native to South India and Srilanka. It is a traditional plant having beneficial activities with fewer side effects. The promising effects of the plant includes Anticancer, Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antihelmintic, insecticidal, wound healing properties etc. The active constituents of the plant are alkaloids, flavonoids, phytosterols, and phenolic compounds. In the present study, the root extract was evaluated for antihelmintic activity and the plant showed promising effect at 200mg/kg. Initial phytochemical screening was also done in ethanol, chloroform and acetone extracts. The major constituents in all the three extracts are alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins

A Novel Framework for Image Inpainting

Abstract-an image can be modified in an undetectable form with the help of inpainting techniques which is an art from the ancient days itself. There are numerous applications and objectives which stand as examples for these kinds of techniques, as fact the main aim behind this technique is to bring back the damaged image to its originality which is in turn achieved by the removal or replacement of the object which is selected. In this paper, we propose a method with the aim of building upon the super-resolution based inpainting, which is based on examplarbased inpainting and single-image examplar which is also based on super resolution. The multiple inpainted combination versions of the input picture are the main aim of the proposed method. The motivation behind this technique is dealing with the sensitivity of examplar-based algorithms with respect to certain frameworks which includes filling order and patch size etc. When a new frame work is proposed which involves the combination of numerous inpainted description of the input image then the state of art examplar-based inpainting methods can be improved. Super resolution method is used in order to inpaint the input low resolution input image

Evaluation of Maize (Zea mays L.) Hybrids Under Agroclimatic Conditions of Prayagraj, U.P.

The field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2021 at Crop Research Farm Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The experiment was carried out to find the performance of 10 hybrids, which laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) & replicated thrice. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (PH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%), available N (243.00 kg/ha), available P(20.10 kg/ha), available K(105.00 kg/ha). The hybrid UM-11 recorded significantly higher in plant height, number of leaves, dry weight. The hybrid UM-11 also recorded significantly higher in yield and yield attributes viz. cobs per plant (No.), cob length (cm), rows per cob (No.), grains per row (No.), seed yield and stover yield. Higher gross return, net return and B:C ratio was also observed in hybrid UM-11

Synthesis, characterization and electronic structures of Rh and Co analogs of Decaborane-14

We report the synthesis, isolation and structural characterization of several crystalline, moderately air stable nido-metallaboranes which represent novel metal rich open cage systems. The reaction of [Cp*CoCl]2, (Cp* = η5-C5Me5), with [LiBH4·thf] in toluene at −78 °C, followed by thermolysis with [BH3·thf] in boiling toluene yielded clusters, [(Cp*Co)3B6H8O] (1) and [(Cp*Co)2B8H11Me] (2). Under the similar reaction condition, [Cp*RhCl2]2 yielded [(Cp*Rh)3B7H11] (3) and [(Cp*Rh)2B8H12] (4). All the new compounds, 1–4 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 11B, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and the geometric structures were unequivocally established by X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 1–4. Quantum chemical calculation by using density functional theory method is implemented on model compounds 1′–4′ (1′–4′ are the Cp analogs of 1–4 respectively, Cp = C5H5) and yields geometries in agreement with the X-ray detaermined geometries. Large HOMO–LUMO gaps are in tally with the higher stabilities of 1′ and 3′
