This study assessed the gross-structure, micro-structure, physical characteristics and nutritional composition of Trichilia emetica dregeana seeds. T. seeds have potential for commercialization improved food security, yet they are under-utilized under-researched. The gross- micro-structure was using stereo microscopy, light microscopy (LM), confocal laser scanning (CLSM) electron (SEM). Protein...

The present investigation entitled “Effect of different concentration strawberry and beetroot juice on quality storage candy” was undertaken in the Horticulture Department, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj during year 2022. treatment combinations viz., T0 Strawberry (80g)+ Water (20ml)+ Geletin (20g)+Sugar (80g), T1Strawberry Beetroot (10g)+ (10ml)+ (25g)+...

Peanut, Arachis hypogaea L., is a protein-rich species consumed worldwide. A key improvement to peanut culture involves the development of cultivars that resist fungal diseases such as rust, leaf spot and scab. Over three years, we evaluated fungal resistance under field conditions of 43 wild accessions and three interspecific hybrids of the genus Arachis, as well as six A. hypogaea genotypes. ...

In ion trap quantum information processing, efficient fluorescence collection is critical for fast, high-fidelity qubit detection and ion–photon entanglement. The expected size of future many-ion processors requires scalable light collection systems. We report on the development and testing of a microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap with an integrated high-numerical aperture (NA) micromirr...

We revisit the work of Dhar and Majumdar [Phys. Rev. E 59, 6413 (1999)] on the limiting distribution of the temporal mean Mt = t −1 ∫ t 0 du sign yu, for a Gaussian Markovian process yt depending on a parameter α, which can be interpreted as Brownian motion in the scale of time t′ = t2α. This quantity, for short the mean ‘magnetization’, is simply related to the occupation time of the process, ...

Postemergence applications of nicosulfuron can cause great damage to certain maize inbred lines and hybrids. Variation among different responses to nicosulfuron may be attributed to differential rates of herbicide metabolism. We employed RNA-Seq analysis to compare transcriptome responses between nicosulfuron-treated and untreated in both tolerant and susceptible maize plants. A total of 71.8 m...

the ventricles may slow down. This ensures better myocardial circulation and in course of time helps the auricles to recover as well. The effect of digitalis in such cases for the time is immediate, but the ultimate prognosis depends upon the myocardial condition. The dose of digitalis varies in different cases, but it may be remembered that in cases of fibrillation, it has to be pushed to the ...

OBJECTIVE There is widespread concern about access to good quality health care for ethnic minority groups. This study investigates differences between ethnic groups regarding prevalence of anxiety and depression, and adherence to treatment guidelines by family practitioners in urban areas in the Netherlands. METHOD Data from electronic medical records, collected for the Netherlands Informatio...

Species respond to environmental stress through a combination of genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, both of which may be important for survival in the face of climatic change. By characterizing the molecular basis of plastic responses and comparing patterns among species, it is possible to identify how such traits evolve. Here, we used de novo transcriptome assembly and RNAseq to exp...

OBJECTIVE While access and utilization form core components in assessing the effectiveness of a health service, the concept of coverage is often neglected. In this study we propose to develop a GIS-based methodological framework for the measurement of district-based geographic coverage to examine the service effectiveness of methadone treatment programme (MTP) in Hong Kong on a regular basis. ...
