Mitigation of 131-I induced oxidative stress by supplementation turmeric and green cardamom in thyroid patients

In cluster-based image segmentation techniques, clusters may be viewed as hills in a histogram. These techniques may suffer from large hills that dominate the smaller hills and thus they result in a loss of image details in the segmentation process. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, called Hill-Manipulation algorithm, to solve the problems of the traditional cluster-based image segmen...

We have performed laboratory experiments to study wave generation over and in the lee of model topography. We have chosen to use periodic, finite-amplitude hills which are representative of the Earth’s major mountain ranges as well as the repetitious topographic features of the ocean floor. The topographic shapes are selected to encompass varying degrees of roughness, from smoothly-varying sinu...

The valley of the Berhampootra is encircled with mountains or hills of various heights on all sides, except on the west, "where it opens into the plains of Bengal. The southern extremity of this valley is bounded by a continuous range of hills, "Which have been artificially divided into the Garrow hills, the Cossyah and Jyntea hills, and the Naga hills ; these designations signify that this con...

Proleptonchoides southindiae n. gen., n. sp. (Dorylaimida: Leptonchidae), is described from soil around false tobacco (Lobelia excelsa) and cardamom (Elettaria cardamomurn) in South India. P. southindiae is prodelphic, has a short constricted esophageal bulb and flanged odontophore, and is phylogenetically close to Proleptonchus.

The genome of Ralstonia solanacearum CaRs_Mep, a race 4/biovar 3/phylotype I bacterium causing wilt in small cardamom and other Zingiberaceae plants, was sequenced. Analysis of the 5.7-Mb genome sequence will aid in better understanding of the genetic determinants of host range, host jump, survival, pathogenicity, and virulence of race 4 of R. solanacearum.

Limestone hills are now gaining global conservation attention as hotspots for short-range endemic species. Levels of land snail endemism can be high at limestone hills, especially at hill clusters that are geographically isolated. In the State of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia, limestone hills have been opportunistically surveyed for land snails in the past, but the majority have yet to be surveyed...

A cough occurs suddenly and often repetitively which helps to clear the large breathing passages from secretions, irritants, foreign particles and microorganisms. Coughing can be due to a respiratory tract infection such as the common cold, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pertussis, flu and smoking or health problems such as asthma, tuberculosis and lung cancer. Substantial uses of folk remedies f...
