It is with admiration and fondness that we dedicate this special issue of ZooKeys to Professor Kumar Krishna, dean of Isoptera research. This collection of papers is a humble testament of appreciation by the various biologists who are dedicated to studying termites, insects that are popularly maligned but actually of profound behavioral and ecological importance. Kumar’s influence extends beyon...

Infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Chronic hyperglycaemia impairs host defense mechanism such as cell mediated immunity, polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) function, antibody formation etc. PMNL serves as bodies first line of defense against various infections. The present study was undertaken to establish a correlation between impaired PMNL functio...

This paper outlines a new approach to determining the effect of part complexity on the cost of manufacturing a composite part. It also describes a methodology for predicting cost based on complexity that uses the techniques of Method Time Measurement (MTM). The proposed methodology offers a relatively simple method to predict the fabrication time of a complex component. It is based on the theor...

Wavelet thresholding is a signal estimation technique that exploits the capabilities of wavelet transform for signal denoising. But the choice of thresholding function has restricted there wide spread use in image denoising application. In this paper we proposed a computationally more efficient thresholding scheme by incorporating the neighbouring wavelet coefficients, with different threshold ...

Human organism needs movement and activity to grow, develop, and maintain health. Advances in modern technology, however, have almost completely eliminated the necessity for physical exertion in daily life. Physical activity is no longer a natural part of our existence. This lack of physical activity has reduced our ability to maintain a healthy body weight and body composition. Recommended bod...

Discharge from the ear is one of the commonest symptoms of infections of the ear. To study the major strains of bacteria encountered in ear discharges, this study was conducted from July 1999, to June 2001 in the microbiology laboratory of Om Hospital. A total of 115 patients, of 6-35 years of age clinically diagnosed as discharging otitis media were studied. In 60.9% single organism and in 26....
