Ever since its emergence in 1984, the field of ancient DNA has struggled to overcome the challenges related to the decay of DNA molecules in the fossil record. With the recent development of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies and molecular techniques tailored to ultra-damaged templates, it has now come of age, merging together approaches in phylogenomics, population genomics, epigenomi...

We generalize Kedlaya and Umans’ modular composition algorithm to the multivariate case. As a main application, we give fast algorithms for many operations involving triangular sets (over a finite field), such as modular multiplication, inversion, or change of order. For the first time, we are able to exhibit running times for these operations that are almost linear, without any overhead expone...

The traditional and Islamic medicine is based on bringing out the wasted and hazardous materials from the body. For this reason well known ancient physicians used to do phlebotomy, wet cupping, vomiting, administer laxatives, enema and various other methods. Fortunately, wet cupping is known as an effective method in prevention and treatment for numbers of diseases even by medical society nowad...

The introduction of vaccination worldwide dramatically reduced the incidence of pathogenic bacterial and viral diseases. Despite the highly successful vaccination strategies, the number of cases among vaccine preventable diseases has increased in the last decade and several of those diseases are still endemic in different countries. Here we discuss some epidemiological aspects and possible argu...

This article describes the influence of infectious diseases on ancient maritime navigation and the early attempts to prevent their spread with legal regulations. In ancient times, the greatest health hazard for sailors were poor hygienic conditions, water supply, nutrition, accommodation, air, and lighting on board. These conditions favoured the development and transmission of infectious diseas...

Identification of active principles and their molecular targets from traditional medicine is an enormous opportunity for modern drug development. Gum resin from Commiphora wightii (syn C. mukul) has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to treat internal tumors, obesity, liver disorders, malignant sores and ulcers, urinary complaints, intestinal worms, leucoderma (vitiligo), sinuses, edema and su...

India, the country which incorporated its efforts towards (RAT) the innovation of light (AABHA) and that’s why it was named BHARAT.
