'Ilogen-Excel', an Ayurvedic herbal formulation is composed of eight medicinal plants (Curcuma longa, Strychnos potatorum, Salacia oblonga, Tinospora cordifolia, Vetivelia zizanioides, Coscinium fenestratum, Andrographis paniculata and Mimosa pudica). The present study evaluates the antihyperglycemic effect of 'Ilogen-Excel' in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Rats were rendered diabetic b...

Hydraulic conductivity and storage coefficient of aquifers are often estimated from nonequilibrium well pumping test data using Theis method. This method requires matching a typecurve with time-drawdown data curve from a pumping well. Typically, this is done by using a type-curve plotted on a graph paper and the data curve plotted on another transparent graph paper, and superimposing and slidin...

Molecular biology laboratories frequently face the challenge of aligning small overlapping DNA sequences derived from a long DNA segment. Here, we present a short program that can be used to adapt Excel spreadsheets as a tool for aligning DNA sequences, regardless of their orientation. The program runs on any Windows or Macintosh operating system computer with Excel 97 or Excel 98. The program ...

The aim of this paper is to show how teachers can use Visual Basic language on the spreadsheet for student sin order to gain the skills need in using nonparametric techniques for density and regression function estimations. The author has built a useful didactic tool on Excel Visual Basic for teaching and practice of nonparametric kernel methods, being intended for students with some preliminar...

There is no denying that spreadsheets have become critical for all operational processes including financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis. Microsoft  Excel has essentially become a scratch pad and a data browser that can quickly be put to use for information gathering and decision-making. However, there is little control in how data comes into Excel, and how it gets updated....

The TiVo user interface (UI) is continuously enhanced for design. To monitor and improve UI performance, statistical tests are run on multiple test cases across various dimensions, and weekly reports are generated. The reports require the flexibility of Excel, the analysis power of JMP® and SAS®, and the reporting convenience of PowerPoint. This can be accomplished by integrating JMP, SAS® ODS,...
