Assessment of Micronuclei in the Cultured Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Human Volunteers Consuming Various Forms of Tobacco in Mizoram
Abstract: Tobacco consumption is highly prevalent in Mizoram—a northeastern state of India—and it is one of the main causes of high cancer incidence. Peripheral blood was collected from 245 volunteers within the age group of 18–67 years with their informed consent and micronuclei were prepared in cultured lymphocytes by blocking cytokinesis. Binucleated (BN) cells bearing micronuclei were scored blindly under a fluorescence microscope, where a total of 3000 BN cells were …

Economic Sustainability of Transportation Infrastructure Procurement: The Differing Site Condition Clause Debate as an Underlying Environmental Trigger to Cost Overruns
Abstract: Case law is rife with contractual disputes arising due to lack of adequate geotechnical risk containment during procurement. The use of a ‘Differing Site Conditions (DSC) clause’, implies that, in the event of encountering a subsurface/geo-environmental condition different from that which was indicated in the contract, the owner bears the additional cost for executing the work under such conditions. However, the literature indicates a divergence in industry practise, with some …

Biodegradation of Plastic Waste Using Various Fungal Isolates from Plastic-Polluted Sites in Meerut: Analysis of Polymers and Composites
Abstract: By isolating microorganisms from a dumpsite containing low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the potential for microbial decomposition of plastic waste was studied. Four different strains of Aspergillus niger (fungus) were identified and used to biodegrade plastic waste. The isolated fungal strains included Aspergillus niger, Alternaria, A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. luchuensis. Predominant fungal strains, Aspergillus niger and Alternaria, were selected for polyethylene degradation under laboratory conditions. In a controlled shaker culture, …

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Its Different Testing Methods: A Review
Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium is a serious current health care concern. In the mid-1980s, S. aureus strains emerged that were resistant to the beta-lactamase-stable penicillin, these strains were termed methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Methicillin resistance in S. aureus is primarily mediated by the mecA gene, which codes for the modified penicillin-binding protein 2a. MRSA strain has become one of the well-known etiologic agents for a wide variety of …

TOXICOLOGY: Present-Day Difficulties for Investigating Safety Science and Target Safety Evaluation of Major Human Hepatocytes
Abstract: Preclinical toxicology has developed into a more thorough understanding of toxicity pathways from its descriptive beginnings. Technological developments have made it possible to forecast safety occurrences, mitigate adverse effects, and create safety biomarkers. Because they are able to self-renew and specialize into different types of human body cells, stem cells are currently being employed for in vitro toxicological applications. However, as compared to primary human hepatocytes, stem cell-derived HLCs perform …

Designing Inclusive Museum Spaces: A Study on Spatial Strategies for Sensory Engagement and Accessibility for People with Visual, Auditory, and Physical Disability
Abstract: Museums have evolved from conventional spaces of display into dynamic environments that promote learning, cultural exchange, and public engagement. Despite this transformation, many museum environments continue to present physical, sensory, and cognitive barriers that limit participation for individuals with visual, auditory, and physical disabilities. Inclusive museum design therefore requires a shift from accessibility as an added feature to accessibility as a fundamental design principle embedded within spatial experience. This research …
