Most of the experiments, pests have effected on their life cycle and significance results were screening from the field survey. It is also observed that these experiments do not effect of its food production. But application of cow dung and neem cake use as good fertilizer which provide defence to plants against pests and deal with toxicity to both insect pests. Application of cow dung and neem cake is also help to reduce soil pest and nematodes. Spinosad based on bio-pesticide appears to be effective by ingestion and contact and causes excitation of the insect nervous system, leading to involuntary muscle contractions, prostration with tremors and finally paralysis. Broadcasted plants extract are also prevented from insect damages of young and adults plants. ...

Various coumarin derivatives are biologically active anddisplay pharmaceutical and medicinal properties. Coumarin is a secondary metabolite that is naturally present in a variety of plants as well as essential oils. It is found in relatively high concentrations. Due to the easy availability and biological activity of coumarin derivatives, many chemists have focused their attention on isolating from plants and characterizing and synthesizingcoumarin derivatives in the laboratory. The diversity-oriented synthetic routes have resulted in the production of interestingderivatives, such as furanocoumarins, coumarin sulfamates (Coumates) and pyranocoumarins. These derivatives are useful inantitumor, anti-HIV therapy and photo-chemotherapy, as well as stimulants for the central nervous system, anti-bacterials, dyes, anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulants. This review aims to explain the occurrence, biological activities, and char...

Several contemporary researchers engaged themselves to prove the traditional belief in the light of scientific interpretations in virtue of modern tools and techniques. Bearing in mind traditional knowledge, many modern medicines have been formulated now. Within this frame of reference, ethno-medicinal studies are of supreme preponderance. The rural people of Western Sundarbans: Henry Island, Fredric Island and Bakkhali regions of West Bengal, India, still trust indigenous plants to cure different types of diseases. The present study intends to explore ethno-medicinal plant wealth of the studied regions by enlisting their present status, parts used, mode of consumption, the purpose of uses, etc. Frequent field trips were carried out during the survey, and structured questionnaires collected information and interviews with the rural people, folk men and women. The study reveals 62 different plant species (17 herbs, 24 shrubs, 14 trees, 5 climbers, 2 types of grass) belonging to 34 families that have been principally used to treat different diseases.

This study reports the seasonal activity cycle of the testes and adrenal gland in relation to lipids, ascorbic acid, alkaline and acid phosphatases and P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (SCC). The mean maximum daily temperature and minimum relative humidity were recorded in April, 2007 (primary breeding phase) during which both testicular and adrenal cholesterol and ascorbic acid levels were significantly low. Maximum relative humidity was lowest in December. The maximum total monthly rainfall was recorded in June and the minimum in December, January and February. Cholesterol and ascorbic acid levels in the testis and adrenal gland increased in June, July, August, December, January and February. Testicular and adrenal alkaline and acid phosphatase activity was found to be higher during the breeding period (March, April and May) and lowest in the non-breeding period (June, July and August). The accumulation of sudanophilic lipid materials was found to increase within the seminiferous tubules and decrease in both the sub-capsular (SCZ) and central zone (CZ) during the primary breeding phase. Sudanophilic lipids increased in the interstitium of testes, SCZ and CZ during regressive phase-I. High intensities of alkaline phosphatase activity were found to be localized within the interstitium and basement membrane during the breeding period. Acid phosphatase was also higher in the interstitium regions during the breeding period. The reactions of SCC enzymes were highly positive in the CZ than in the SCZ during the primary breeding phase.

It also dictates the necessary treatment methods. Waste water treatment facilities function at a crucial stage in the water cycle, assisting nature in protecting water from contamination. Treatment methods can be categorized into four segments: preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment. Screening and grit removal are ordinary parts of preliminary wastewater treatment. Basically, it prepares wastewater for further treatment. Although the primary purpose of wastewater treatment is to separate easily-removable suspended particles and BOD, wastewater components that occur as dissolved solids or settleable wastewater solids may als...

Heavy metal contamination in aquifers endangers public health and the freshwater and marine ecosystems. Traditional wastewater treatment methods are mainly expensive, ecologically damaging, ineffective, and take much time. Phyto-remediation is a plant-based technique that gained popularity by discovering heavy metal accumulating plants that can accumulate, transport, and consolidate enormous quantities of certain hazardous contaminants. This is a low-cost sustainable evolving technique featuring long-term utility. Several terrestrial and aquatic vegetation have now been examined for their ability to repair polluted soils and streams. Several submerged plants have already been discovered to remove harmful pollutants such as Zn, As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb & Hg. The most important part of effective phyto-remediation is selecting and choosing effective plant species. Aquatic macrophytes have high effectiveness for re...

But nowadays, just a small portion of plastic waste is recycled. Plastic pyrolysis and polymer breakdown are environmentally hazardous. Processing is, therefore, necessary for recycling. Plastics are constantly being manufactured and require minimal processing, necessitating innovation. Plastic recycling is becoming a major issue for environmentalists and waste management professionals. Fused deposition modelling, or FDM, is one of the most popular types of additive manufacturing. It uses the melt extrusion process to deposit filaments of thermal polymers in a predetermined pattern. Using a computer-generated design, 3D printing, sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing, is a technique for building three-dimensional objects layer by layer. A 3D item is produced by the additive method of 3D printing, which involves building up layers of material. To make a three-dimensional object, FDM printers eject a thermoplastic filament that has been heated to its melting point layer by layer. 3D printing is a rapidly expanding industry and the market in this field has grown up to 23% by 2021. Several experiments on new 3D printing materials have been carried out to reduce pollution and the supply of plastic. Various additives have been investigated to increase recycled polymers' molecular weight and mechanical properties. The most frequent type of fibre found in that is thermoplastic fibre. In this instance, waste ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic from industrial FDM printers was gathered and examined in a bustling open shop. In this review, we discussed the use of recyclable polymers in 3D printing for waste material management.

Many things contribute to becoming overweight or obese since bodyweight is influenced by various factors, including genetics, metabolism, behaviour, the environment, culture, and socioeconomics. When evaluating the risk of various diseases, the quantity, location, and distribution of fat and obesity in the human body are significant. Being overweight and having an improper fat distribution are linked to a variety of illnesses. Obesity occurs when a person’s weight exceeds their body fat percentage. Therefore, obesity has already increased dramatically in India as a consequence of these factors, putting Indian residents at risk for health concerns. Our study aims to bring awareness to the problems, better understand the problems, and record the incidence of obesity and overweight in the Indian community. Obesity education and public awareness may go a long way toward preventing these issues.

Many things contribute to becoming overweight or obese since bodyweight is influenced by various factors, including genetics, metabolism, behaviour, the environment, culture, and socioeconomics. When evaluating the risk of various diseases, the quantity, location, and distribution of fat and obesity in the human body are significant. Being overweight and having an improper fat distribution are linked to a variety of illnesses. Obesity occurs when a person’s weight exceeds their body fat percentage. Therefore, obesity has already increased dramatically in India as a consequence of these factors, putting Indian residents at risk for health concerns. Our study aims to bring awareness to the problems, better understand the problems, and record the incidence of obesity and overweight in the Indian community. Obesity education and public awareness may go a long way toward preventing these issues.
