Lateral variations along the Himalayan arc are suggested by an increasing number of studies and carry important information about the orogen's segmentation. Here we compile the hitherto most complete land gravity dataset in the region which enables the currently highest resolution plausible analysis. To study lateral variations in collisional structure we compute arc-parallel gravity anomalies ...

Indian peninsular region comprises several Archean cratonic blocks (Dharwar, Bastar, Singhbhum, Aravalli – Bundelkhand), bordered by Proterozoic mobile belts. Therefore, this region is considered as tectonically stable and designated as the least vulnerable region to earthquake hazard except the still active Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ). The latter is a major suture between southern and ...

Although, monsoon rainfall (June-September) over the country as a whole has shown some resilience for variations, it remarkable variations smaller regions viz. Northwestern parts of country. This study is an attempt to predict seasonal departure Northwest India with help “area averaged OLR anomaly index” associated North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Ocean during May. Using index developed in this...

BACKGROUND Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants. Biomarkers of disease severity might help in clinical management. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical predictiveness of NW-LDH, NW-caspase 3/7, and NW-LDH/NW-caspase 3/7 ratio in bronchiolitis. METHODS Previously healthy children less than 24 months of age with bronchiolitis were recruited from the Texas Children's...

The major limiting factor for production and productivity of finger millet crop is blast disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea. Since, the genome sequence information available in finger millet crop is scarce, comparative genomics plays a very important role in identification of genes/QTLs linked to the blast resistance genes using SSR markers. In the present study, a total of 58 genic SSRs were...

Middle Jurassic theropods have a scanty record worldwide, especially from Gondwana. In India, where are particularly rare and only represented by few isolated teeth some badly preserved bones, there is currently no of the western India. Here we report first theropod dental material marine carbonate rocks Jaisalmer Basin, north-western The specimen consists an incomplete shed tooth crown recover...

The friction and shear strength of nanowire (NW)-substrate interfaces critically influences the electrical/mechanical performance and life time of NW-based nanodevices. Yet, very few reports on this subject are available in the literature because of the experimental challenges involved and, more specifically no studies have been reported to investigate the configuration of individual NW tip in ...
