The current study was carried out to test the root hair extract of Carex baccans, a traditionally used medicinal plant by the natives (Jaintia tribes) of Northeast India, for its anthelmintic efficacy on the trematode Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex. The test parasites were exposed to different concentrations of the root hair extract of the plant and praziquantel, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic at...

We describe Uncle Roy All Around You, a mixture of game and theatre that took place in central London in late May and early June of 2003. Street players, equipped with handheld computers and wireless networking, journeyed through the streets of the city in search of an elusive character called Uncle Roy, while online players journeyed through a parallel 3D model of the city, were able to track ...

In this paper, we suggest the idea of separately treating the connectivity and communication model of a Wireless Sensor Network(WSN). We then propose a novel connectivity model for a WSN using first order Reed-Muller Codes. While the model has a hierarchical structure, we have shown it works equally well for Distributed WSN. Though one can use any communication model, we prefer to use communica...

Formal cancer support groups are thought to assist women to adapt to the physiological and psychosocial sequelae of breast cancer. To shed some light on this untested clinical assumption, this Roy Adaptation Model of Nursing-based study was designed to explore women's own reports about their adaptation to breast cancer and their participation in support groups. This article reports the results ...

General Relativity describes the state in which radiation concentrates around a star. Klein (1948) worked on it and obtained an approximate solution to Einsteinian field equations in spherical symmetry for a distribution of diffused radiation. Many other researchers (Singh and Abdussattar, 1973; Roy and Bali, 1977) have worked on this topic and obtained exact static spherically and cylindricall...
