The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design, replicated thrice with onion variety Arka Kalyan. The experiment was framed with biofertilizers viz., M 0 -0, M 1 -Azospirillum, M 2 -VAM, M 3 -PSB, M 4 -Azospirillum + VAM and M 5 -Azospirillum+ PSB and four levels of chemical fertilizers, F

The survey was conducted to analyze the situation of Pharmacy students in India. What are the types of challenges being faced by them during this lockdown due to the Pandemic COVID-19 and how are they getting adapted to the situations? A cross sectional survey was conducted via snowball sampling technique in which 226 participants submitted their response. The chief issue of concern to students was the change in the study pattern which has made the process much difficult for both the faculties and students. Online examination was also be reported as a point of concern. The normal life that we used to have is not acceptable in today’s scenario, hence, the institutions have to make the students more comfortable and adaptable towards the online studies and make the most out of it.

This paper outlines the findings of a comprehensive review of the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) and provide recommendations to formulate an action plan for improving routine immunization coverage. Design: A mixed-method approach was adopted to collect data under four thematic areas, namely programme implementation, vaccine logistics and cold chain, data recording and reporting system, and programme communication in five high priority states. Results obtained for indicators under each thematic area, were then divided into four categories: a) ≥90 %-good, b) 70-90%-fair, c) 50-70 %-average and d) < 50 %-poor. Setting: The review was undertaken in five high-priority states-Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Four districts were selected base on a scoring criterion from each state. Results: The programme implementation was found average ranging from 53.6 % to 63.8 % and the mechanism of vaccine logistic and cold chain was fair ranging from 71.0 % to 79.4 % across all the states. The mechanism of data recording and reporting was poor in Madhya Pradesh (36.8 %) and Maharashtra (47.0 %) and average in the remaining three states. Programme communication needs considerable improvement. Except Madhya Pradesh (62.4 %), the communication activities were poor in the other four states. Conclusion: The methodology of the review will help in identifying critical gaps and strengths in the immunization processes and in formulating an immunization coverage improvement plan (ICIP) in the states.

Studies have shown varying incidences of neurological complications (8% to 47%) including encephalopathy, as well as cerebrovascular problems, infections, and neurotoxicity induced by immunosuppressive drugs. The majority of these cases occur in the first week after surgery. Objective. We sought to evaluate the correlation between serum magnesium levels and the development of encephalopathy in the immediate posttransplantation period. Methods. We collected data from patients undergoing liver transplantation, both donors and recipients, from 2007 to 2009. Magnesium levels during the first week of hospitalization were compared to reference laboratory results. The West Haven criteria were used to classify whether if the patient experienced encephalopathy. Results. Only the level of magnesium posttransplantation represented a risk for encephalopathy (P ϭ .049). Lower magnesium levels increased the risk of encephalopathy (relative risk ϭ 3.718; 95% confidence interval: 1.001-13.699). Conclusion. We verified the importance of low levels of magnesium as a predictive factor to increase the occurrence of encephalopathy after liver transplantation.

Hence, an attempt was made to study the same and evaluate its impact on malaria parasite development. Polyclonal and multifactorial antibodies were produced in rabbits against heterogenous mixture of hemolymph proteins. Antibodies against hemolymph proteins were screened for their potential to influence reproductive performance of mosquitoes. Antibody titer in rabbit serum was determined by ELISA and putative candidate antigens were identified in the hemolymph of An. culicifacies by western blotting. Cross reactivity amongst various tissues vis-a-vis hemolymph protein was also identified...

However, its rapid development largely ignores security threats in large-scale computing platforms and their capable applications. Therefore, Security and privacy are crucial need for edge computing and edge computing based environment. Security vulnerabilities in edge computing systems lead to security threats affecting edge computing networks. Therefore, there is a basic need for an intrusion detection system (IDS) designed for edge computing to mitigate security attacks. Due to recent attacks, traditional algorithms may not be possibility for edge computing. This article outlines the latest IDS designed for edge computing and focuses on the corresponding methods, functions and mechanisms. This review also provides deep understanding of emerging security attacks in edge computing. This article proves that although the design and implementation of edge computing IDS have been studied previously, the development of efficient, reliable and powerful IDS for edge computing systems is still a crucial task. At the end of the review, the IDS developed will be introduced as a future prospect.

They were fed on pelleted diet obtained from local Pashu Ahar kendra and tap water ad libitum. The female mice in their pre-estrous phase were transferred in the evening to the cages containing male mice in the ratio of 2:1. The presence of vaginal plug on the following morning indicated pregnancy and was designated as day zero (0) of gestation. All pregnant mice were divided into following groups. Group-1 Treated with equivalent amount of tap water during same days of gestation. Group-2 Treated with desvenlafaxine from GD 1 to GD 6. Group-3 Treated with desvenlafaxine from GD 1 to GD 18. Desvenlafaxine was obtained from Innova division of IPCA Industries Mumbai). Each tablet contained 50 mg of the drug. Before treatment, one tablet was dissolved in 5 ml of tap water. Animals from both control and various treated groups were allowed to deliver. These delivered pups were subjected to various behavioral tests at the age of 8 weeks approximately. Behavioral tests I) Open field test An open field apparatus made of plywood measuring 60.96 × 60.96 × 60.96 cms was used to test the open field exploratory behavior of mice. The floor of the apparatus was divided into 16 evenly spaced squares surrounded by opaque high walls of 60.96 cms. The entire apparatus was painted black except for the 6 mm wide white lines that divided the floor into 16 squares. The open field was illuminated by 100 w bulb focusing into field from a height of about 100 cms from the floor. The entire room, except the apparatus, was kept dark during experiment. Animals were kept in apparatus for 5 minutes to observe for following parameters: 1) Ambulation-The numbers of squares crossed by the mice. 2) Rearing-The number of times mice stood on its hind limbs.
