Chaos analysis of pressure parameter over Ahmedabad

In the present study attempt has been made to obtain the dimensionality of atmosphere by using Grassberger and Proccacia's model of correlation dimension on pressure parameter for Ahmedabad station. Based on single variable time series, the dimension of pressure at tractor is evaluated to obtain a lower bound on the number of essential variables necessary to model atmospheric dynamics. A low dimensionality of the order of five to seven for the pressure variable was obtained if interannual and seasonal variabilities are excluded by using seasonal data.

GIS Based Services Using Network Analysis of Khartoum North

A Geographical Information System (GIS) utility, such as network analysis is a tool used to solve common network problem, This study is intended to use GIS as a tool of analyzing. integrating and displaying information. the overall activities of the work were concentrated around sub area selected as the study site in the Khartoum north city (Khartoum ) of main capital, Sudan .To demonstrate the use of road network analysis, this project focused on determining the best route between too destinations , the closest facility from a given incident , and a service area for a given facility . The present study attempt to analyze the potential use of network analysis in defining the optimal service area of different services such as hospitals, schools and university of Khartoum north. Generally for the purposes of this project ,distance is taken as impedance in order to find the best route and the closest facility and that of travel time is taken as impedance in order to find the service area.

Indigenous Curative Plants Used in the Treatment of Piles from Akinyele Local Government Area, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria

Piles are inflammation of blood vessels which are generally found close to the anal canal. Piles are produce when the anal cushions are disrupted during defecation. The importance of the knowledge of indigenous remedial medicinal plants in curing piles has not been fully acknowledged from rural, folkloric background of Nigerian society. The present study attempt to document indigenous knowledge and curative plants used in the treatment of pile in Akinyele Local Government Area, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Eight villages were purposively selected and respondents stratified into four strata in each of the villages. Semi – structured and open-ended questionnaires was used to obtained information from local herb sellers, hunters, herbalists and aged. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. The result showed that a total number of 25 plant species belonging to 19 families, were recorded and enumerated along with their botanical, family and local names. Fabaceae sub family of Caesalpinioidea, Mimisoideae and Palpilinoideae contributed the highest number of 4 plant species used in the treatment of pile. The plant part used includes leave, bark, seeds roots, vines, rhizome, bulbs, cobs, and bunch with high frequency of leaves been used. The method of preparation of recipe, mode of administration, dosage and shelf life of the recipe used for the treatment of piles were discussed. Many of the medicinal plants used in the treatment of piles are rare and found in the wild, the study concludes that there is need for domestication and sustainable conservative efforts from the researchers, government and community to safeguard the loss of these important medicinal plants. There is need for further studies on the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of these plants.

FABRICATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL TRANSDERMAL FLIM FROM HIBISCUS ROSA SINENSIS

Objective: In this present study attempt was made to formulate transdermal patches contains phytoconstituents. The naturopathy does not involve any adverse effects. Methods: Hibiscus rosasinensis aquous extracts was prepared. Transdermalpatches were prepared using drug with two different polymers. The prepared transdermal films were evaluated for their physiochemical characteristics such as physical appearance, weight uniformity, thickness, folding endurance; moisture content, surface pH, Tensile strength. The in-vitro diffusion study was carried out using rat membrane. These parameters indicates the successful release of drug from the fabricated patch. Results: With the overall observation it was concluded that the. Conclusion: Fabrication of transdermal patch is successfully worked and subjected to diffusion study. Diffusion studies are carried out by using a fresh rat membrane. Phosphate buffer (6.6) is used as a solvent. Samples are collected for 24 h and absorbance is measured by using UV spectrophotometer at 226 nm. It showed the successful release of drug from the fabricated patch.

Biomonitoring of Pollution by Microalgae Community in Aquatic System with Special Reference to Water Quality of River Kolong, Nagaon, Assam, India

With growing urbanization and industrialization India faces the challenge of providing clean and safe drinking water. In the name of economic growth most rivers and streams are turning into sewers. Pollution effect is equally damaging both biotic and abiotic components. Microalgae play an interesting role in forecasting changing environment. Pollution in aquatic environment like changing pH; addition of oil, heavy metals; increase of organic matter and chemical fertilizers can be traced by studying algal community. Abundant growth of particular algae, drastic change in species diversity and depletion of long inhabitant algal flora indicates the pollution in a very initial stage. In the present study, attempt has been made to point out some indicator algae of Kolong River which is getting polluted day by day and in placed among the 71 most polluted stretch of river in the country. In our investigation, we have found microalgae mainly from groups Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Desmidiaceae which can be identified as indicator species in biomonitoring purpose.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i1.9345Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 2(1): 45-49
