A field experiment was carried out to “Study of Evaluating Genetic Variability Gladiolus (Gladilous grandiflorus L.) Cultivars Under Agro –Climatic conditions Prayagraj” conducted at the Departmental research Horticulture, Naini, Agriculture Institute during Rabi season 2022-2023. The involved 15 cultivars arranged in randomized block design with three replication. analysis data showed that phe...

This investigation was carried out to determine the effects of gamma radiation on germination characteristics gladiolus corms. experiment conducted through a factorial design in randomized complete block with three replications. Two factors included cultivars (Red Advance, White Prosperity, Amsterdam, and Rose Supreme) doses (0, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 Gy). The results showed that corm weigh...

The present research was carried out at Experimental Farm, Department of Agriculture, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab during winter season 2020-21. experiment laid in randomized block design with seven treatments (Control, 20gy, 40gy, 60gy, 80gy, 100gy and 120gy) the were replicated thrice. From it can be concluded that lower dose (20gy) gamma irradiation show positive result on gro...

We study the pricing of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) using an extensive new data set for the actively-traded CDX credit index and its tranches. We find that a three-factor portfolio credit model allowing for rm-speci c, industry, and economywide default events explains virtually all of the time-series and crosssectional variation in CDX index tranche prices. These tranches are priced ...

Use of metal carbonyl-based compounds capable of releasing carbon monoxide (CO) in biological systems have emerged as a potential adjunctive therapy for sepsis via their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. The role of CO in regulation of mitochondrial dysfunction and biogenesis associated with sepsis has not been investigated. In the present study, we employed a ruthenium...

Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) is a renal autoregulatory mechanism that constricts the afferent arteriole in response to increases in distal NaCl. Heme oxygenases (HO-1 and HO-2) release carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin, which may help control renal function. We showed in vitro that HO products inhibit TGF; however, we do not know whether this also occurs in vivo or the mechanism(s) involve...

A field experiment was carried out at the farm of Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Morabadi, Ranchi during kharif season 2022 with 10 treatments (T1: control or no treatment, T2: Corm treatment Beej Sanjeevani, T3: Beejamrit, T4: Soil application Jiwamrit, T5: Panchagavya, T6: Jiwamrit + T7: Sanjeevani soil T8: T9: Beejamrit T10: Panchagavya) placed in three times rep...

different explants of crocus sativus l. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on ls and ms media supplemented with naa and bap or 2,4-d plus bap at different combinations. shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-i of both naa and bap. an increase in 2,4-d level...

Using GPS devices and digital cameras, we surveyed outdoor advertisements in Austin, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. GIS and hot spot analysis revealed that unhealthy ads were clustered around child-serving institutions in Los Angeles and Philadelphia but not in Austin. Multivariate generalized least square (GLS) regression models showed that percent black (po0.04) was a significant positive pred...
