Experimental Investigation of Mechaniccal and Thermal properties of Pmyra bract fiber composite
Abstract: Ecological concerns have resulted in renewed interest in natural materials in terms of their industrial applications and fundamental research. Recyclability and environmental safety are becoming increasingly important to the introduction of natural materials and products. Petroleum based products such as resins in thermo set plastics are toxic and non- biodegradable. The resins and fibres used in green composites are biodegradable when they are dumped, decomposed by the action of microorganisms. …

Homology Modeling and in silico Characterization of a Hypothetical Protein of Arabidopsis lyrata ssp. Lyrata
Abstract: Arabidopsis lyrata, a plant belonging to brassicaceae, is a model organism for studying evolutionary and ecological genetics. Most of the proteins of this plant have remained uncharacterized and their functional roles are still to be elucidated. In this investigation, we have attempted to characterize one such hypothetical protein in terms of its physico-chemical properties, secondary and tertiary structure features by in silico study. The protein was classified under glycoside hydrolase …

Role of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) on Survival of Free Ranging Birds: A Review
Abstract: The PCB contaminant levels reported in tissues individuals are not likely to have an impact on the demographic performance of the birds as a whole. However, the residues may reach levels causing decreased reproduction or survival in some years, particularly when combined with other non-anthropogenic stressors such as food scarcity. In addition, the birds normally would have more exposure to the contaminants due to their position in the food chain. …

Changing Disease Epidemiology: An Impact of Climate Change
Abstract: Climate Change is one of the biggest challenges being faced across the globe. It is an over-riding environmental issue with grave implications on both economy and health. Major mechanism behind climate change is the “Greenhouse effect” which is causing the rise in temperature worldwide. Increasing temperatures, sea-level rises, changing patterns of precipitation, and more frequent and severe extreme events are expected to have adverse effects on health. Further, changing climatic …
