Autecological Study on Seed Germination and Growth Analysis of a Fodder Crop Medicago Sativa L.
Abstract: AbstractThe ecological factors that affect vegetation are climatic, edaphic (soil) and biotic. The major climatic factors are temperature, light, wind and water. It is now a well-known fact that temperature is globally affecting the flora and fauna and it may soon manifest into a major problem. To overcome this problem, mankind must evolve a suitable genotype, which will be able to withstand global warming and sustain itself, thus maintaining the …

Proportion Tests Applied in Assessors’ Selection Under Assumption Break: The Cases of Sensory Fatigue and Learning Process
Abstract: Triangle trials are commonly employed in panelist selection, describing a Binomial distribution. However, assessors can fatigue or develop sensitivity after many trials, which violate constant proportion assumption. This violation could affect some tests obtained from normal distribution interval estimators (TN1, TN2 and TN3), F distribution (TF), Sequential Test (TS) and Poisson approximation with quantile (TP). To evaluate this tests performance, Monte Carlo simulations were performed for 1000 assessors through 5, …

Physicochemical Properties of Fresh Sausage Formulated with Different Proportions of Commercial Meat Pork and Cull Sow
Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of the inclusion of cull sow meat on the physicochemical properties of fresh sausage. Five treatments were elaborated: The control (commercial pork) and treatments with 25, 50, 75 and 100% cull sow meat. The quality of the sausages was monitored by physicochemical parameters (moisture, ashes, protein, lipids, pH, water activity, color (L*, a* and b*), water holding capacity (WHC), weight …

Evaluation of Over Forage Legume on Biomass Productivity of the Highland Natural Pasture, High Altitude of Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: The present study was conducted at Alicho Wuriro district, Ethiopia to evaluate legumes over sowing on biomass productivity of highland grazing land and nutritive value of combined sample. Treatments were Vicia dasycarpa, Vicia sativa, and Vicia villosa and none over sown or control. Three replications of a randomized complete block design experiment were used. Significantly the highest dry matter yield was recorded for grazing land over sown V.dasycarpa (23.56 t/ha) …

Eugenol Prevents Sodium Nitrate-induced Altered Antioxidant Status of Spermatozoa: An In Vitro Study
Abstract: Background: High level of nitrate (NO3) induces oxidative stress which affects the male and female reproductive system. In this regard, there is a great concern for the prevention of NO3-induced oxidative stress in the reproductive system by using herbal products. Eugenol is one such natural product found in clove extracted from cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and is known for its antioxidant, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Aim and Objectives: The present …

Unani and Conventional Perspective of Hypertension (Ḍaghṭ al-Dam Qawī )
Abstract: Hypertension is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. According to estimates, the risk of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, renal failure, and peripheral arterial disease rises by at least a factor of two. In the Unani system of medicine, there is a clinical condition that resembles hypertension, known as "Imtila'." The buildup of bodily fluids, particularly in the blood vessels, …

First trimester neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in pregnancy associated with preeclampsia patients in India: A brief review.
Abstract: Background: Pre-eclampsia is a complicated syndrome that starts very early in pregnancy and has a known pathogenesis. However, the second or third trimester is when its clinical symptoms first manifest. Preeclampsia and NLR are related, according to the literature review, albeit the findings are ambiguous and contradicting. Moreover, there isn't a thorough assessment available from Indian contexts. As a result, the current review was designed with the goal of examining …

Application of Nutrigenomics for Enhancement of Body Growth in Ruminants
Abstract: the same diet may perform differently and it is due to differences in ability of nutrients to interact within the biological systems affecting molecular pathways resulting in differences in body weight gain, production or reproduction performances. For better understanding of the above processes, nutrigenomics and endocrinomics; two emerging fields that are of great help to discover the differential expression and function of genes occur with different diets, have come up. …

A Review on Quantum Entanglement
Abstract: Erwin Schrodinger first used the phrase “quantum entanglement” in 1935 to describe a mechanical phenomenon at the quantum level where two (or more) particles’ quantum states must be defined in relation to one another even if they may be geographically apart. This paradoxical event has confounded us for a very long time. Entangled particle behavior appears to be mysterious, illogical, and akin to sorcery at work. The successful and dependable …
