Optimum plant population per unit area is considered as one of the agronomic management practice to boost up the yield of commercial crop which aid in provision of adequate sunlight, nutrient, water and space for proliferation (Biradar patil et al., 1991). Seed crop is not exempting from this rule and in addition seed crop require still more adequate spacing for rouging and to improve the size of seed (Savithri and Srimathi, 2002). Hence, in seed production the geometry should be adjusted in such a way that the quality of seed is yielded at higher order at the optimum plant spacing

Montelukast is a specific cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, belonging to the quinoline series and therapeutic agent used for the treatment of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis. This review described the impurities, toxicity studies, adverse effects of drug montelukast. The presence of impurities affect the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products. Sulfoxide impurity was found to be having a major effect on efficacy. The common adverse effects found were headache, upper respiratory infection and Neuropsychiatric Events, which were not much different compared to placebo.

Objective: In an autoimmune disease, there is a wrong action of our defense mechanism against the body's own tissue. Autoimmunity is group of illnesses that include almost every organ system. RASAYANA is a unique branch of Ayurveda. Rasayanchikitsa is also known as rejuvenation therapy. It promotes the inner healing power of an individual and helps him in over taking the pain and disease while promoting the immunity (SVASTHASYA ORJASKARAM).Method: References regarding Rasayanaand Autoimmunedisease were collected from various textbooks, published research papers, previous work done.

Background: In this study, the safety of 54 public playgrounds in 12 neighborhoods in Aydın (Turkey) city was assessed in terms of 9 important risk factors that may cause injury, and a risk map was created. The simple random sampling method was used to determine the neighborhoods and public playgrounds included in the study. The Playground Safety Survey was prepared to assess safety of playgrounds. ArcMap 10.3 software was used to create the risk map of playgrounds and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 19 software was used for statistical analysis of research data.

The hydrocarbon rich Niger delta region of Nigeria is also home/breeding ground for some indigenous as well serve as calving grounds for some migratory marine mammal species. Exploration and production of this highly valuable resource often require seismic survey that generate sound that could negatively impact marine animals at close proximity. Hence, the need for a science based management to reduce risk of injury or fatality to these endangered species. This study aims at assessing and evaluating Scientific processes and procedure in place for minimising negative impact.

The ruminants are the most primitive animals to be domesticated by human being from the time unknown. They were not only domesticated by the ancient civilized man for the need of minimizing labor (in terms of tilling or pulling carts) but also for differential need of every day livelihood like meat, milk, skin and hair. The main reason behind goats’ popularity is the low rearing cost of this animal and their higher adaptability to a number of harsh and unfavorable conditions without any physiological complication.

The aim of this study is to determine the potency of Diclofenac sodium tablet available in Port Harcourt metropolis, south-south Nigeria. Diclofenac Sodium is a potent Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) commonly used as an Over the Counter (OTC) drug. Potency determination was performed to evaluate and authenticate whether the marketed samples complies with the declared specification. In vitro dissolution study was, performed to verify the potency of the drug and its relative bioavailability.

Mushrooms are macrofungi that exist everywhere around us. Theyhave significant roles in human life as source of nutrition and bioactive compounds. Many aquatic isolatedfungi and mushrooms have been reported as promising biotechnological tools for production of secondary metabolites of various biologically activities. Recently, Psathyrella aquatica has been discovered in Rogue River, Oregon, United States.

Three Schiff bases P1-3 derived from benzoyl hydrazine was synthesized and characterized. Study revealed that P1 with –OH as substitute had good selectivity to Al3+, other two compounds P2-3 did not show any selective property. These results indicated that different active groups in the probe system had great effect on the selectivity and sensitivity. P1 was characterized as an Al3+-selective fluorescent probe in detail.

Introducción: La artrosis en rodillas (OA) o gonartrosis es una enfermedad crónica que presenta una alta prevalencia en la población adulta, la cual ocasiona una importante limitación física, que repercute directamente en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. El tratamiento quirúrgico en los pacientes con diagnóstico de OA, ha demostrado buenos resultados en el manejo del dolor, así como, para mejorar la capacidad funcional y movilidad del paciente.
