An experiment was undertaken at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Kerala to study effect organic nutrition on growth attributes and yield taro during 2019-20 2020-21. The treatments comprised six levels sources (S1 - FYM + wood ash; S2 ash PGPR mix I; S3 I vermiwash; S4 Poultry manure S5 S6 vermiwash) two in-situ green manuring (G1 with cowpea; G2 dhaincha ) three controls (C1 Nutrient man...

engineering – procurement and construction (epc) contract is one of the current contracts in the today world. when governmental sector trends to use the expertise of domestic or foreign private in engineering and construction of infrastructural projects, finds epc contract as a suitable legal frame. in this article, we have tried to discuss about the most important legal aspects of this kind of...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are bone-marrow derived circulating cells participating in angiogenesis and vascular homeostasis. Reduced numbers of circulating EPC are observed in patients with various cardiovascular diseases and are related to an increased risk for future cardiovascular events and death. Little is known about functional changes. The aim of this thesis was to study the func...

BACKGROUND EPC number and functionality are assumed to reflect the endogenous vascular repair capacity with the EPC pool declining in higher ages and being exhausted by unfavorable life-style and risk factors. This intriguing and clinically highly relevant concept, however, has so far been derived from small case-control studies and patient series. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPLE FINDINGS In the po...

Transplantation of bone marrow cells as well as circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) enhances neovascularization after ischemia. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is essential for migration and homing of hematopoietic stem cells. Therefore, we investigated the role of CXCR4 and its downstream signaling cascade for the angiogenic capacity of cultured human EPC. Ex vivo, differentiated EPC d...

A graph G is quadrangularly connected if for every pair of edges e1 and e2 in E(G), G has a sequence of l-cycles (3 ≤ l ≤ 4) C1, C2, ..., Cr such that e1 ∈ E(C1) and e2 ∈ E(Cr) and E(Ci) ∩ E(Ci+1) 6= ∅ for i = 1, 2, ..., r − 1. In this paper, we show that every quadrangularly connected claw-free graph without vertices of degree 1, which does not contain an induced subgraph H isomorphic to eithe...
