Since the time of Golems and Galatea, humans have been dreaming of creating Artificial Intelligence. These artificial beings were, no doubt, creation of artists. With the advancement in technology, the field is now in the domain of computer scientists. Robotics, and hence true AI, involves expertise from a lot of discipline including vision, control systems, planning and recently natural langua...

We describe two new pillotinaceous spirochetes (Canaleparolina darwiniensis, Diplocalyx cryptotermitidis) and identify for the first time Hollandina pterotermitidis from both the subterranean termite Cryptotermes cavifrons and the wood-eating cockroach Cryptocercus punctulatus based on morphometric analysis of transmission electron micrographic thin sections. C. darwiniensis, gen. nov., sp. nov...

Herbicide Resistance, Photosystem II, psbA G ene, Photosynthesis, Chloroplast, Phalaris para­ doxa Triazine resistance in a mutant biotype of Phalaris paradoxa is accompanied by changes in the chlorophyll fluorescence induction curve, and by reduced quantum yield for electron transport, indicating altered photosystem II activity. H owever, light-saturated rates of electron transport in isolated...

In a series of screening trials a number of new, non-mercurial fungicides have shown promising results in controlling pineapple disease of sugarcane (Ceratocystis paradoxa). Several of the fungicides tested are as effective as Aretan and Benlate and are now registered for use in sugarcane. Growers now have a choice of effective non-mercurial fungicides for sett dip treatment. Poor germination o...
