The phytosterols are naturally occurring, physiologically active substances found in foods of plant origin. In present study, the phytosterols profile of four bi-clonal tea seed stock oils viz., TS 462, TS 464, TS 491, and TS 506 released from Tocklai are presented. Phytosterols were evaluated using GC-FID. Among the phytosterols, 24-methylene cycl...

Purpose To study the effects of gamma radiation on tea seed germination, morphological changes, and genetic variation by using gamma radiation. Material & Method Fresh Tea seed material were irradiated with twenty different doses of gamma radiation such as 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 90, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Gy from Cob...

Finding promising purple tea germplasm that would target new tea products for diversification and value addition boost the tea industry's economic growth. Accordingly, 10 tea germplasm viz. TRA St. 817, TRA St. 293, TRA St. 400, TRA 177/3, TRA 376/2, TRA 376/3, TRA 427/7, TRA P7, TRA P8, and TV1 were evaluated in terms of gas exchange parameters, m...

Mersenne Twister is by far the most widely used general-purpose pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) but it has been 30 years since it was introduced. This paper aims to use the advancement in technology and knowledge of a cellular automaton (CA) and its properties to create a PRNG that can use resources more effectively while giving an equivalent...

A study was undertaken to evaluate the quality characteristic of tea (Camellia sinensis L.) seed oil. The oil content ranged between 20.84 and 21.90 per cent. Smoke point, iodine value, saponification value, calorific value, refractive index, oil density, oil colour and oil pH were in the range of 247.29 - 251.53 (oC), 82.74 - 85.65 (g I 100-1 g),...

Background Outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute STE-MI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) in smokers are expected to be better than non-smokers as for patients of acute STEMI with or without fibrinolytic therapy. Objectives This comparative study was designed to evaluate the outcomes of primary PCI in pa...

Primary malignant tracheal tumors are not common and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of trachea is rare. We report an extremely rare case of ACC of proximal trachea, which was diagnosed in a 42-year-old male who presents with 6-month history of dyspnea. Lateral skiagram of neck, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a broad-ba...

Purpose: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (Rh-MS) is a major cause of atrial fibrillation (AF).MS Severity is not invariably related to the incidence of AF.We did a prospective observational study to determine the predictors of AF in Rh-MS. Methods: 65 patients of isolated severe Rh-MS were studied. Patients with confounding factors for AF and more than m...

Midgut malrotation is a rare anatomic anomaly that complicates the diagnosis and management of acute abdominal pain. It is a congenital anomaly that arises from incomplete rotation or abnormal position of the midgut during embryonic development. A two years old boy was brought with recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting. On ultrasonography, the inte...

Rhizobial strains resistant to different stresses are used as a genetic marker in strain for nodulation of legume plant under field soils. In view of this, in present investigation soybean rhizobial strains USDA123 and ALSR12, susceptible to phage SR1 and SR2, respectively were used to get spontaneous mutant against antibiotic drugs (streptomycin a...
