BACKGROUND Research on determinants of Medical profession has established some constant factors with universal impact and appeal. However, the dramatic changes in the dynamics of medical profession and medical education over the past years have necessitated a revisiting of the established conclusions. The knowledge of impact of economic status on these determinants would pave way to greater int...

A cytotaxonomic survey has been carried out on 87 species and 11 subspecies of Eriospermum (Eriospermaceae). The results show that the basic haploid number varies from x=5 to x=10 and that, according to karyotype, the species can be subdivided into eight distinct Groups. The larger number of species belong to Group A with 62 taxa. Group E karyotype, found in nine species, is bimodal and include...

-The Mesozoic to Eocene sedimentary succession of Hazara Basin dominated by carbonates is characterized by a distinct package of sediments punctuated by a number of diastems, hiatus and unconformities. The Hazara Basin evolved in Hettangian with the development of lagoonal to upper shoreface conditions on the northern margin of northward flying India. It was followed by a thick pile of middle J...

Many plants are grown outside their natural ranges. Plantings adjacent to native ranges provide an opportunity to monitor community assembly among associated insects and their parasitoids in novel environments, to determine whether gradients in species richness emerge and to examine their consequences for host plant reproductive success. We recorded the fig wasps (Chalcidoidea) associated with ...

The collision of India with Asia, one of the most profound tectonic events to have occurred in past 100 m.y., is thought to have had geological, geochemical, and climatological consequences of global extent. Surprisingly the age of initiation of this collision remains poorly constrained. Estimates range from the Late Cretaceous (.65 Ma) to latest Eocene (,40 Ma), with little consensus in betwee...
