Amaranthus Tricolor L. (red amaranth) and Viridis (Green are Amaranthaceae members, widely cultivated in Asia consumed as a leafy vegetable many parts of the world. This study deal with nutritional functional, biochemical characterization A. viridis . Single-factor experiments Box Behnken Design (BBD) were used to optimize extraction process for phenolic compound from The BBD shows that 11.87mg...

Background: The use of allelopathic plant extracts as herbicide is being popularized in recent years. Objective: This research has been conducted to evaluate the allelopathic potential of caltrop (Tribulus terrestris L.) on seed germination and growth of Avena fatua L., Chenopodium album L., Setaria viridis L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L. Methods: This research was done to evalature the ef...

The insurance industry, however, is an unusual one. At first it is even difficult to pin down exactly what life insurance companies sell. The industry does not sell a product that you can readily hold in your hands, and it is not typically a service product. Although technically we sell policies, we actually sell promises. The promise is that when a policyholder dies, we will provide something ...

We present a theoretical study on the nonlocal optical effects on the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift of reflected light from a composite material of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs). Using different nonlocal effective medium models, it is observed that such effects can be significant for small MNP of sizes down to a few nanometers. For small metallic volume fractions, the composite behaves like dielectri...

Consistent individual differences within (animal personality) and across (behavioural syndrome) behaviours became well recognized during the past decade. Nevertheless, our knowledge about the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms behind the phenomena is still incomplete. Here, we explored if risk-taking and exploration were consistent and linked to different ecologically relevant traits in ...

The aim of the present study was to isolate, identify and observe antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungi against some pathogenic bacteria as well as to optimize various parameters for maximum production of antibacterial bioactive compounds. Endophytic fungi were isolated from Menthe viridis collected from Khamariya, Jabalpur M.P. (India). Screening of endophytic fungi for in-vitro antib...
