Conventional and Molecular Breeding for Abiotic Stresses Tolerance in Rice
Abstract: AbstractAbiotic stress as a consequence of climate change has affected a large proportion of the rice growing areas of the world. Drought is a complex trait and breeding for drought tolerance requires incorporation of morphological, physiological and several biochemical characters imparting in tolerance. Rice is a salt sensitive crop and excessive saline or sodic soil has a limiting effect on its productivity. Genotypic variation for abiotic stress has been observed …

Development and Performance Evaluation of a Polyethersulfone–Graphene Oxide Ultrafiltration Membrane for Simultaneous Drug Delivery and Virus Removal: An Experimental Investigation
Abstract: The development of multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes for simultaneous controlled drug delivery and viral removal has gained considerable attention in biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and water purification. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes offer excellent thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability; however, their hydrophobicity can limit permeability, antifouling performance, and biocompatibility. This study proposes the fabrication of PES–graphene oxide (GO) ultrafiltration membranes using the phase inversion technique, with systematic variation of GO concentration to optimize …

Effect of Isothermal Ageing on Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of 0.5Cr-0.5Mo-0.2V Low Alloy Steel
Abstract: Cr-Mo-V based low alloy steels are widely used in thermal power plants because of their ability to withstand elevated temperature and high pressure under continuous operation. With ferrite-pearlite and/or ferrite-bainite microstructures, these steels find their applications in boiler tubes, pressure vessels and steam turbines. Being cost effective is one of the important factors, which draws attention of many industrialists towards low alloyed steels over highly alloyed steels with austenitic matrix. …

Morphological Identification of Rumen Protozoal Population in Domestic Ruminants of Chennai
Abstract: Rumen is a complex ecosystem where feed consumed by ruminants is digested by the help of symbiotic microbes (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) and the interaction between the host and ruminal microorganisms are diverse. This provides an advantage in the ability of ruminant digestion. End products of rumen fermentation are volatile fatty acids and the microbial biomass. The distribution of rumen microbes, their numbers, type, vary in the ruminants and is …
