A new series of copper (II) and zinc (II) Schiff bases complexes containing the bidentate ligands N, N'-bis (diphenylmethylene) ethane-1, 2-diamine (L1) and N, N'-bis (diphenyl methylene) benzene-1, 2-diamine (L2) was prepared by the condensation of the ethylenediamine, or the orthophénylènediamine on benzophenone in ethanol at reflux. The Schiff base ligands and their corresponding complexes have been identified by IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and by ESI MS spectrometry. The copper (II) and zinc (II) complexes obtained have a octahedral geometry; the metal cations are linked to the four nitrogen atoms of the imine grouping (C=N).

Introduction: The use of hrct has an established role in the detection and in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ilds). In selected cases, a specific hrct pattern suffices for the presumptive diagnosis, even in the absence of histological confirmation. The major abnormality in ilds is disruption of the lung parenchyma. Objectives: To Determine Frequencies Of Different Radiological Patterns Of Interstitial Lung Diseases On Hrct. Study design: Cross-Sectional Survey. Setting: Department Of Diagnostic Radiology, King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital, Lahore. duration of study: Study Was Carried Out Over A Period Of Six Months From 16-05-2009 To 30-11-2009. subjects and methods: total 65 cases of interstitial lung diseases were included in this study. Hrct examinations were performed using 1.0- or 1.5 mm thick sections taken at 1 cm intervals throughout the entire lungs during inspiration in the supine position and through the caudal 10 cm of the lungs at 2–3 cm increments in the prone position. Results: the range of age was from 30 years to 70 years and mean age was 45.8±7.7 years. There were 23 (35.4%) males and 42 (64.6%) females. Hrct patterns were as follows: nodular 29 (44.6%), reticular 21 (32.3%) honeycombing 15 (23.1%). Conclusion: in this study, we have found out prevalence of different patterns of ild on hrct . Therefore, without surgical lung biopsy we can obtain prevalence of different disease on the basis of hrct.

Energy consumption index is one of the most important criteria for judging about new, and emerging drying technologies. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying is a novel method of non-thermal processing. The drying can be carried out using either AC or DC high voltages. The thermodynamic considerations regarding the lowering of temperature under EHD drying include rapid rates of evaporation and exothermic interaction of the electric field with a dielectric material. Multi-point and plate electrode systems are efficient in accelerating drying of agricultural materials. Compared to hot air (convective) drying systems, EHD drying systems offer lower food production costs along with superior quality in terms of physiochemical properties such as color, shrinkage, flavor, and nutrient content. This paper presents briefly the nature of ElectroHydroDynamic (EHD) phenomena, and details on the mechanisms of moisture movement inside the solid and its evaporation at the exposed solid surface during drying of solids. Choosing the data presented in literature, a critical discussion is presented on the advantages and limitations of EHD drying of food materials.

The study was conducted to examine the aptitude of student teachers of language group towards their profession in Burdwan district of West Bengal, India. Aptitude may be considered to be qualities which all individual posses in varying degrees. There can be various kinds of aptitude like the art aptitude, scientific aptitude, mechanical aptitude, clerical aptitude, scholarly aptitude, and musical aptitude which can be measured through various aptitude tests. Teaching aptitude can be categorized as aptitude for professional work. It is generally agreed that entrance into a profession presumes the possession of superior intellectual status and successfully completed intensive and extensive study in various areas of the chosen profession. The possession of certain personal traits and professional attitude also is considered important. There have been some reliable tests for testing teaching aptitudes like Coxe – Orleans prognosis test of teaching ability or the teaching aptitude test by Jai Prakash and R. P. Shrivastav etc. This specific study was conducted on a sample of 21 each language student teachers studying in 2 different colleges of education in Burdwan district of West Bengal. They were administered a standardized constructed tool on Teaching Aptitude by Dahiya and Singh. The tool consists of 50 items with 5 areas. The collected data were statistically analyzed with mean, standard deviations, and t-values.

The growth of the Food Processing Industry is broadly driven by the emerging customers and food service operator’s service industry in India. These industries now a day are ready to serve whatever the customer demand. Today, Indian’s are fond of taking dine outside in spite of food inflation. The governments have been already passed the food security bill in order to curb poverty and serve them from starvation. But on the other side, a huge section of the society has the appetite for eating out which tends to increasing number of restaurants, cuisines, food retail etc. The rural regions have the potentiality to develop the economy through agriculture inputs and food processing industry. Looking towards the booming food service sector, the researcher tries to reveal the fact and issues concerning to Food Processing which is important from the research point of view.

To perform preliminary phytochemical screening, GC-MS analysis and to study the antimicrobial activity of Petroleum ether, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Vernonia cinerea leaves. Leaves of Vernonia cinerea was shade dried, powdered and extracted with respective solvents. The extracts were then screened for phytocompounds, the petroleum ether and ethanol extracts were analysed by GC-MS to detect the compounds present in the polar and non polar solvent extracts of the leaves. Antibacterial potential of the extracts was detected against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ethanol and aqueous extracts shows more activity at different concentration. Antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and Monoscus purpures was evaluated. The extracts showed significant activity against the fungal species. The leaves of Vernonia cinerea possess certain bioactive compounds that contribute to its antimicrobial property.

The present study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical screening, antibacterial, antifungal activity and GC-MS analysis of Costus pictus leaf extracts. Antibacterial activity of Costus pictus leaf extracts was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus parasites, Candida albicans and M. Purpureus. Three different solvents Ethanol, Petroleum ether and Aqueous were used for extraction. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of active ingredients such as Alkaloids, Steroids, Terpenoids, Glycosides, Tannins, Saponins, Phenols, Flavonoids and Proteins. GC-MS analysis of Petroleum ether and Ethanol extract indicated the presence of phytoconstituents such as Quercetin 7, 3, 4’-trimethoxy, Squalene, Hexadecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid and Phytol. All the extracts exhibited different degrees of antimicrobial activity against selected microbes, among the extracts Ethanolic extract showed maximum zone of inhibition 18.017±0.076mm against Salmonella typhi and aqueous extract exhibited highest fungal activity 15.033±0.058mm against M. Purpureus. It is evident from the study that C.pictus has highest therapeutic potential due to the presence of rich amount of phytoconstituents along with antimicrobial activity.

Water level indicator is widely used in many industries and houses. People generally worry about the wastage of water, when the switch ON the motor and forget to OFF them. An Water Level Indicator may be defined as a system by which we can get the information of any water reservoir .Water level indicator system are quite useful to reduce the wastage of water from any reservoir, while filling such reservoir. But for domestic purpose we cannot go for the instruments which use radar or ultrasonic principle that costs high. Water tank overflow is a common problem which leads to the wastage of water. In this project I am using the transistor based water level indicator circuit is very useful to indicate the water levels in a tank. Whenever tank gets filled, we get alerts on particular levels. The LEDs is generally used for indicate the water levels. If the water level is full, then the circuits beeps through the buzzer notifying that the water level is full.
