Availability of library and information science electronic journals throughUGC- INFONET project

65-69The University Grants Commission (UGC) has contributed substantially towards facilitating access to scholarly resources toresearch scholars and faculty members by introducing the UGC-INFONET Project. The project envisages bringing about aqualitative change in the academic infrastructure in Indian universities. The research and academic community in the universitiescan now have timely and easy access to journals and other electronic resources. The paper provides an insight in to the UGC-INFONETProject and aims to create awareness to the library and information professionals, research scholars, and faculty andpost graduate students of library and information science regarding the availability of the scholarly journals in the field oflibrary and information science

Not AvailableCytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has proved to be an effective and efficient genetic tool in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) hybrid breeding programs. The A1 (milo cytoplasm) CMS type has been widely exploited to produce both commercial grain and forage sorghum hybrids. To explore the possibility of using alternative CMS (non-milo cytoplasm) sources, we studied the effect of cytoplasm on forage yield and quality in sorghum. Nine female (CMS) lines (representing three each in A1, A2, and A3 cytoplasms) and five male lines were used to generate 45 hybrids, which were evaluated in three environments. Cytoplasm and its first-order interaction with location and male and female lines showed the presence of a cytoplasmic effect on the majority of fodder yield and quality traits examined. The CMS lines possessing A3 cytoplasm (A3N213 and A3N193) were good combiners for important fodder yield and quality traits. For hydrocyanic acid, the CMS lines possessing A1 cytoplasm were good combiners. Mean performance of hybrids and combining ability analysis of parents revealed that A3 cytoplasm can be used along with the widely used A1 cytoplasm, which helps in the diversification of the male sterile base of forage sorghum hybrids.Not Availabl

Role of CT Scan in Diagnosis and Management of Otogenic Intracranial Abscess

The existence of complications of suppurative otitis media and efforts to control it go far back into history. Early diagnosis and management have been greatly modified by the extensive use of CT scan and higher antibiotics. Despite an overall decline in the incidence of complications of otitis media, severe complications still exist with high mortality. Suggested reasons are decrease in physician’s experience and changing of the virulence and susceptibility of causative organism. This series is a prospective study of 18 cases of otogenic brain abscess, carried out in Department of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery, SSG Hospital, Baroda from June 2005 to June 2008. We emphasize on confirmation of resolution of brain abscess by CT scan. This will eliminate recurrent/residual abscess and help in reduced overall mortality and morbidity
