Influence of Constant Micro Strain Levels on the Strength Properties of the Asphalt Concrete mixture
Abstract: Asphalt concrete mixture is designed to resist the deformation and vehicular traffic loading throughout its service life. However, when the asphalt concrete pavement practices over loading within the service life period, it exhibits cracking and rutting. In the present investigation, an attempt has been taken to understand the strength performance of asphalt concrete when practicing variable levels of constant stresses. Asphalt concrete mixture was prepared at optimum asphalt cement requirement …

Preliminary In Silico Analysis of Choline Monooxygenase and Betaine Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Suaeda monoica Forssk. and its Expression in E. coli.
Abstract: AbstractIn a tropical country like India, the yield of crop plants is majorly affected by soil salinity and drought. One of the strategies to address this problem is by introducing genes responsible for salinity/drought tolerance in crop plants. Such genes could be identified and isolated from mangrove plants, as they are known to have evolved certain physiological mechanisms to augment saline environments. One such mechanism is the accumulation of Glycine …

Processing of Sight Word Reading in Adult Deaf Individuals
Abstract: To read individual words accurately and quickly is the skilled reader ability. All words that readers can retrieve from their memory quickly are known as sight words including high frequency words. Sight word reading is an automatic process which is not influenced by intention or choice. English alphabetic system is very variable hence open to decoding errors. This makes reading words from memory by sight essential and significant in English. …

Correlation of Hypoproteinemia and Hypoalbuminemia with Hypercholesterolemia in the Children with Nephrotic Syndrome
Abstract: Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is a clinical entity characterized by massive loss of urinary protein (primarily albuminuria) leading to hypoproteinemia resulting in edema. Hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and increased lipiduria are usually associated with Nephrotic Syndrome. Although not commonly thought of as part of the syndrome, hypertension, hematuria, and azotemia may be present [1]. This prospective cross-sectional study was performed on 100 children with the age of 14 years with Nephrotic Syndrome in …
