Drought Tolerance in Pearl Millet- I
Abstract: Stress tolerance has long fascinated plant biologists as a challenge to understand the mechanism of plant survival under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Exposure of plants to abiotic stresses, such as high salinity, drought, extreme light and temperature leads to major loss in crop productivity. Pearl millet is one such crop that has been facing drought conditions and less productivity of the crop. This article is a short review on …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …

Bioindicators: A Review
Abstract: Bioindicators of natural quality are significantly utilized as a part of biological and ecotoxicological considers and additionally in applied ecological preservation. Bioindicator research is done in many levels to identify and segregate the effects of man-induced stressors from the effects of natural stressors. All three groups of organisms--microorganisms, plants and animals can play a vital role as indicators of environmental quality. Stress conditions and stress-induced damage can be sensed by …

An Exploratory Study to Assess the Level of Blood Pressure, Associated Physical Manifestations and Risk Factors among Bank managers working in selected banks of district mohali, punjab with a view to develop informational booklet.
Abstract: Introduction: Hypertension is also known as silent killer since it has no initial symptoms but can be led to long term disease and complication. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic cardiac medical condition in which the systemic arterial blood pressure is elevated. Blood pressure involves two measurements, systolic pressure (asthe heart beats) over diastolic pressure (as the heart relaxes between beats). Normal blood pressure is at or below …

Cross Sectional Area of Column
Abstract: Abstract In structural engineering, columns play a critical role in transferring loads from beams to thefoundation. The load applied on a beam is transmitted to the column, resulting in an upward reactiveforce. This upward pressure necessitates the determination of the column’s cross-sectional area basedon direct stress analysis to ensure that the structure can safely bear the imposed loads. Additionally,an end moment develops at the joint between the beam and the …
