The elemental compositions of both crude powders were analyzed by the Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence.

The purpose of this simulation is to investigate prostate enlargement affecting the urethra and the neck of the urethra bladder using finite element analysis. The simulation results showed that the change and the distortion of the urethra pinched by the zones of the prostate in cases calculated. Besides, the simulation interaction of the results between the central zone with bladder may help scientists develop a theoretical basis for the inflammation in the neck of the urethra bladder.

The Water Institute at University of North California in 2015 provided its data in terms of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Performance Index and stated that India ranked at the 95th position which is worst than many developing countries.
