This critical and careful study aimed to gather information on the common formulation(s) found in the following ancient medical texts: the Bower Manuscript (Bower Ms.), Charak Samhita (CS), Susruta Samhita (SS), Astangahrdayam Samhita (AHS) and Ayurvedic Formulary of India (AFI). We found that only one formulation, Kalyanaka ghrita, had the same formula in all the texts. Kalyanaka ghrita was pr...

this evaluation was undertaken to analyse the overall merit of studies for publication in medical journals. peer review, in which peer experts evaluate the value of a manuscript submitted to a professional journal, is regarded as a crucial step in publication. it helps to ensure that published articles describe experiments that focus on important issues and that the research is well designed an...

In this manuscript, we prove some coupled fixed point theorems for two pairs of self mappings satisfying contractive conditions of integral type in generalized metric spaces. We furnish suitable illustrative examples. In this manuscript, we prove some coupled fixed point theorems for two pairs of self mappings satisfying contractive conditions of integral type in generalized metric spaces.

While the use of timber harvests is generally accepted as an effective approach to controlling bark beetles during outbreaks, in reality there has been a dearth of monitoring to assess outcomes, and failures are often not reported. Additionally, few studies have focused on how these treatments affect forest structure and function over the long term, or our forests’ ability to adapt to climate c...

ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Study of an unbiased sample of B stars observed with Hipparcos: the discovery of a large amount of new Slowly Pulsating B Stars Abstract. We present a classiication of 267 new variable B-type stars discovered by Hipparcos. We have used two diierent classiication schemes and they both result in only a few new Cephei stars, a huge number of new Slowly Pulsating B stars,...

The evolution of software architecture, including operating systems and applications, spans from batch systems on big iron to today’s hand-held devices, and is now reaching into ubiquitous computing objects as evident in efforts such as JINI and Bluetooth. In digital telecommunication, the origins came from PCM and Ethernet, via OSI’s X.25 to fast packet-switching realized in Frame Relay and AT...

We present the results of the characterization of Mg/Co periodic multilayers and their thermal stability for the EUV range. The annealing study is performed up to a temperature of 400°C. Images obtained by scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy clearly show the good quality of the multilayer structure. The measurements of the EUV reflectivity around 25 n...
