The present research paper studies and analyze the agricultural productivity at macro level in Ahmednagar district. This study is based on secondary data collected from revenue records district gazetteer offices. Agricultural production was depending market, demand, physical, climate, socio-cultural, economic, technological organizational factors. Endeavour made to landuse patterns of Maharasht...

We describe an in vivo approach, in transgenic mice, aimed to identify promotar elements responsible for the induction of y globin expression by butyrate. Transgenic lines carrying human ‘ y gene promoter truncations at position -141, -201, -382, and -730 ‘y were treated with a amino butyric acid (aABA), and effects on y globin expression were analved at the m-nger RNA level. No induction of y ...

The paper presents a database of published Y chromosome deletions and the results of analyzing the database with data mining techniques. The database describes 382 patients for which 177 different markers were tested: 364 of the 382 patients had deletions. Two data mining techniques, clustering and decision tree induction were used. Clustering was used to group patients according to the overall...

This study aims to develop eco-friendly botanical pesticides. Dried fruits of star anise (Illicium verum Hook.f. (Austrobaileyales: Schisandraceae)) were extracted with methyl alcohol (MA), ethyl acetate (EA), and petroleum ether (PE) at 25°C. The constituents were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the repellency and contact toxicity of the extracts against Sitophilus zeam...

Osmotic shock induced transient stabilization of p53, possibly due to increased degradation of Mdm2. Stabilized p53 was activated by p38(MAPK), resulting in G(1) arrest through induction of p21(WAF1). Among the postulated phosphorylation sites involved in p53 stabilization or activation (Ser(15), Ser(20), Ser(33), and Ser(46)), only Ser(33) was phosphorylated. Furthermore, interaction of p53 wi...

Copulation, observed in 6 species of Passalidae, occurred with one beetle up-side-down in relation to the other. In Odontotaenius they were end to end (known for Coleoptera only in Scolytidae); in Passalus they were venter to venter facing nearly the same direction (known for no other beetles and only for certain Diptera and Mecoptera among other insects).
