This study investigates the effect of different link beam lengths in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame retrofitted with the Linked Column Frame (LCF) system. It also investigates the ratio of the link beam length (e) to the span length of the RC frame (L) from 0 to 1.5 for the 9 models of the RC frame retrofitted by the LCF system has been investigated. In addition, it studies the formation of...

Synaptic mutants are the subject of a special concern to cytologists and geneticists as they hold the variability in their recombination pattern. Seeds of Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague (ajwain) were treated with Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS) solution at 3 different concentrations viz. 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% for 5 h, prepared in potassium phosphate buffer with 7.0 pH. During meiotic observation ...

Lymphatic filariasis is caused by infection with the parasitic filarial nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. timori, transmitted by mosquitoes. The lack of an adulticidal drug poses a challenge to filariasis elimination, hence it is essential to develop an effective antifilarial drug which could either kill or permanently sterilize the adult worms. In the reported work the in vi...

Natural honey is an ancient remedy in folk medicine around the world particularly where conventional and modern therapeutic agents fail. Here we report antibacterial potential of a number of unifloral and multifloral natural honey samples produced in Pakistan.
