Assessment of Soil Fertility Status for Sustainable Productivity: A Study in Some Tea Garden Belts of Assam, India
Conventional farming has posed a significant challenge to the quality of food, the climate and the quality of water. The key cause of soil quality deterioration in irrigated areas is insufficient and…
Studies on Some Substituted-4-thiazolidinone with and without Inclusion Complex Formation with β-cyclodextrin
By taking 2-hydrazinobenzothizole as a staring substance, three compounds of 2-(benzothiazolyl-2′)hyrazino-5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinone derivative are prepared. But, both less aqueous soluble and biologically accessible are shown by the prepared compounds. Its inclusion complex is…
Advanced Analysis of Viscosity, Miscibility Studies and Mechanical Properties of Pullulan/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Blends at 30ºC and 40ºC
Pullulan and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) miscibility studies blend through reduced viscosity measurements, refractometry, mechanical properties and SEM analysis. Viscometric measurements were performed at 30 and 40oC using the Ubbelohde viscometer. To test…
Assessing the In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Withania somnifera Root
Due to their structural sophistication, chemical diversity, lack of significant toxic effects and a wide range of antimicrobial activity, conventional herbal medicines are new therapeutic candidates. It can be found in the…
Study on Performance Evaluation of Fluorescence and Photostability of Coumarin Disperse Yellow 82
In various fields of research, fluorescent dyes are used, such as in biochemical studies, medical diagnosis, photoelectric cell building, lasers and solar batteries. Some major fluorescent and photostability properties of Coumarin Disperse…
Study on Regioselective Three Component Domino Synthesis of Polyhydrospiro [indoline-3,3’-pyrrolizine]-2-one via [3+2] Cycloaddition Reaction under Ultrasonic-Irradiation
Due to its interesting structure and biological significance, Spiro compounds with attached indole moiety having an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic core have attracted synthetic organic chemists. In present work we have reported synthesis…
Soil Phase: A Site Specific Management Unit for Crop Planning with Suitable Soil and Water Conservation Measures
During summer 2017, a comprehensive land resource analysis of the Gadagi-2 micro watershed, Lingasusgur taluk, Raichur district, Karnataka state, India, was conducted using a cadastral map overlaid on IRS Cartosat-1 merged with…
Synthesis, Characterization and Application of CuO/ZnO Nanocomposites
Industry-based coloured organic dyes are often non-biodegradable, producing high toxicity to marine organisms and significantly disrupting the water environment. Due to their intrinsic properties, semiconductor photocatalysts have been employed to degrade textile…
A Detailed Computational Study of n-Acetylglutamate Hydrolysis under Acidic and Basic Conditions
Aims: In prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and lower plants, N-acetylglutamate (NAG) is the first intermediate in the arginine biosynthetic route. As a model for bond cleavage in living systems, the hydrolysis of amides is…
