The present study was conducted to investigate earthworm diversity in the Kumaun region of Uttarakhand, India. Earthworm sampling was made from 1,409–2,224 m from the foothills of the Kumaun Himalaya to higher altitudes monthly from April 2019 to April 2021, covering the major monsoon season in India. Earthworms were collected from twelve different...

IDF curves show minute-to-minute precipitation (mm/h) (years). Conventional IDF covers 5-to-24-hour rainfall with 2-to-100-year return durations. Stream flow, ru...

The potential for drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) is higher with cardiac medications, and reports of pDDIs in cardiovascular patients are more common. Multimorbidity, a greater number of drugs prescribed, longer hospital stays, complexity of disease, physiological changes with advancing age or conditions like renal failure, shock, hepatic disease li...

Public health and societal efforts can avoid the 2019 Corona pandemic (COVID-19). Ethiopia has adopted health and social measures. COVID-19 social distance and health prevention research. SARS-CoV-2 produces COVID-19. The global vaccine effort must understand how the virus spreads to end the pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 spreads by respiratory droplets and...

The immune system has the ability to provoke inflammation in response to a wide variety of different triggers. Toxic chemicals, infectious diseases, radiation, and cells that have been harmed are some examples of these stimuli. It removes the detrimental stimuli and at the same time initiates the healing process, which is a win-win situation. As a...

Objectives: In preparation for deep frying, the peroxide values and refractive indices of palm, sesame, and sunflower oils were measured. The peroxide value and refractive indices of the vegetable oils used to fry white Indian potato chips in three batches were determined after each stage of deep frying. According to the findings, deep-frying signi...

This study aimed to investigate the physical features, nutritional quality, antioxidant and culinary qualities of Kumaun hill rice landraces in India. Traditional farming methods were used to cultivate all of the rice landraces. Calculate the amount of protein, iron, zinc, and magnesium to evaluate the nutritional value. From 7.2 to 13.1 percent of...

Seeds accumulate proteins in protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) and these seed proteins undergo enzymatic denaturation by lipoxygenase and non-enzymatically by the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Long-term storage can cause denaturation of seed storage proteins. Amino acids of cereal grains control the metabolism, diseases and play a crucial...

Human wildlife conflict has been reported in different locations of Chenab valley like other parts of world. Forests in valley are mainly dominated by conflict causing Himalayan Black Bear and Leopard. Himalayan black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and leopard (Panthera pardus) are involved in conflicts with humans for many reasons. The majority of local...

The proteomic analysis for identification of calcium binding proteins (CBPs) could be useful for development of nutraceuticals and food to food fortification. The present investigation was aimed to explore the proteomic study to identify CBPs in major pulses available in Nainital District. Pulses were collected from local market and farmers of Nain...

In India about 65% of the people are directly or indirectly dependant on agricultural sector for economic survival. The annual income of farmers is significantly influenced by the yield of the crops which is affected by wild animals. However, the particular attention should be paid to the depredation caused by wild animals. Crop depredation by wild...

Complete exploration of nutraceutical properties of Macrotyloma uniflorum by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and proximate analysis was performed. Seeds of M. uniflorum were collected from local farmers from the higher altitude (2178m, N-29°27.034’; E-079°46.210’). Three types of extracts were prepared with the help of soxhlet extra...

Horse Gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (L)) traditionally known as antiurolithiatic legume in India, a representative of the family Leguminosae, is widely available in hills of Uttarakhand. It is used as antiurolithiatic, astringent, diuretic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective drug by Indian traditional system of medicines. It acts a...

Chenab valley has varied climatic and topographic zones. The cropping system includes rice, wheat, maize, pulses and mustard as major crops. Crop depredation by wild animals is a major problem faced by the local farmers. Crop raiding by wild animals is to be a source of conflict between the animals and humans. The losses incurred by farmer communit...

Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) frequently known as horse gram (HG) is a kind of legume of tropics and subtropics. Horse gram is a member of family Fabaceae. It is require normal annual temperature ranging from 18-27°C. HG is a short day and day neutral plant maturing 120-180 days after planting. Resources deprived farmers in insignificant, drought ar...

The stones in kidney are also known as a calculus and cryst al aggregation formed by dietary minerals in the urine. Lithiasis is a multifaceted progression that occurs from series of several physicochemical event including super saturation, nucleation, growth, aggregation and retention within the kidneys. Many plan ( Macrotyloma uniflorum ) have be...

(First young scientist award winner in the poster presentation). Abstract: The present study deals with the evaluation of nutritional value of Macrotyloma uniflorum collected from Uttarakhand hill and including useful information to the stake holders (farmers) of hills. M. uniflorum samples were collected from high elevation of Kumaun and Gharwal r...
