Due to time and financial constraints indices are often used to obtain landscape-scale estimates of relative species abundance. Using two different field methods and comparing the results can help to detect possible bias or a non monotonic relationship between the index and the true abundance, providing more reliable results. We used data obtained from camera traps and feces counts to independe...

For evaluating the antigen content in recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine (Monovalent and Pentavalent vaccines), National Control Laboratory, Kasauli has taken an initiative to develop a uniform method for evaluation of antigen content of Hepatitis B vaccine. All the manufacturers in India are having different method for evaluating Relative Potency of Hepatitis B Vaccine. In the present study the s...

Traditional methods for evaluating the low-albedo volume rendering integral do not include bounds on the magnitude of approximation error. In this paper, we examine three techniques for solving this integral with error bounds: trapezoid rule, Simpson’s rule, and a power series method. In each case, the expression for the error bound provides a mechanism for computing the integral to any specifi...

Economies with production externalities, demand spillovers, incomplete financial markets, and Keynesian frictions are only a few examples where macroeconomic complementarities play a prominent role. Within this class of economies, how does the precision of publicly provided and privately collected information affect equilibrium allocations and social welfare? And what is the optimal transparenc...

The antibiotic residues in milk are a well-known serious problem and pose several health hazards to consumers. We have described a simple, rapid, and inexpensive DLLME-HPLC/UV technique for the extraction of chloramphenicol and florfenicol residues in milk samples. Under the optimum conditions, linearity of the method was observed over the range 0.02-0.85 µg/L with correlation coefficients > 0....

The method has been developed and validated for the determination of hydroquinone in liposomal formulation. The samples were dissolved in methanol and evaluated in 293 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined. The calibration curve was linear in 1-50 µg /mL range of hydroquinone an...

In present study, using Least Squares (LS) method, we determine the position smoothing in GPS single-frequency receiver by means of pseudo-range and carrier phase measurements. The application of pseudo-range or carrier phase measurements in GPS receiver positioning separately can lead to defects. By means of pseudo-range data, we have position with less precision and more distortion. By use of...

Studies linking the functional diversity of a biota to ecosystem functioning typically employ a priori classifications of species into hypothetically complementary groups. However, multiple alternate classifications exist in which the number of functional groups, the number of species per functional group, and the grouping of species differ from the a priori scheme. Without assessing the relati...
