Pesticides (mainly herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides) are used to chemically combat certain plants, animals, or microorganisms perceived as harmful to agriculture. Due to the fundamental similarities in all living beings, it is challenging to target unwanted species without affecting others, including humans.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the staple cereal crops of the world and it is one of the main sources of carbohydrates for nearly one-half of the world's population. So, an increase in rice yield to satisfy human needs is a pressing requirement. Agronomic characters such as high plant, length of panicle, length of flag leaf, number of seed per panicle, the weight of thousand rice, length and width of rice and tolerance to salt are the deciding factor for yield in rice.

Anthropometry is a part of physical anthropology, a science that allows the study of measurement methods on the human body and the use of mathematics to analyze the measured results in order to find patterns about human physical development. Measurement of the human body is one of the methods of assessing the general health and nutritional status of an individual or a population.

What are the key aspects to achieving acceptable usability outcomes for information systems being developed? The changing technologies and increased usage across the general population, the impacts of this in our everyday lives, at work and at leisure are exponentially increasing. The interfaces and interaction styles presented as part of these technologies have been challenged to be more intuitive, contextually sensitive, location aware, human centred and aimed at a larger community of stakeholders.

The human population continues to grow steadily with the shrinking resources being used for agricultural production situates great challenge against Indian agricultural system to attain food and environmental security. To counter these twin challenges in the country there is urgent need of application of modern Hi-tech technologies for enhancing the productivity and sustainability of the rice-wheat system for long term on scientific basis. Precision farming (PF) looks a win-win technology towards improving the capability of agricultural land to produce crops on sustainable basis.

As the urban area has high population density and intensive anthropogenic activities, there are a great number of sources of heavy metals in cities, placing a considerable influence on human health. Emissions of heavy metals may come from domestic waste, chemical industry and transportation. These emissions have been continuously adding heavy metals to soils and they will remain present for many years even after the pollution sources have been removed.

Uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) is a mitochondrial innermembrane protein abundantly expressed in rodent and human skeletal muscle which may be involved in energy dissipation. Many studies have been performed on the metabolic regulation of UCP3 mRNA level, but little is known about UCP3 expression at the protein level. Two populations of mitochondria have been described in skeletal muscle, subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF), which differ in their intracellular localization and possibly also their metabolic role....

In order to perform biochemical and pharmacological characterization of CXCR1, we designed several CXCR1 constructs. All constructs, including a CXCR1–Gi2a fusion protein, were produced in insect cells after infection with recombinant baculovirus. The recombinant receptors exhibited specific high-affinity binding of 125 I-labelled interleukin-8, and Scatchard transformation of the binding data indicated the presence of a population of single homogenous binding sites.

Apolipoprotein E is a polymorphic glycoprotein in humans with a molecu-lar mass of 34.5 kDa. It is a component of chylomicron remnants, very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and high density lipopro-tein, and is primarily responsible for maintaining plasma lipid homeostasis. In addition to these well-documented functions, recent studies in experi-mental mouse models, as well as population studies, show that apolipo-protein E also plays an important role in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. ...

It is estimated that approximately one-third of the world’s population are using groundwater for drinking purposes. Pollution of ground water due to industrial effluents is a major issue (Vasanthavigar et al., 2011). Poor groundwater quality brings negative impact to human health and plant growth. In developing countries like India, it is estimated that around 80% of all diseases are directly related to poor drinking water quality and unhygienic conditions (Olajire & Imeokparia, 2001; Vasanthavigar et al., 2011).

Liver fibrosis ranks as the second cause of death in México's productive-age population. This pathology is characterized by acummulation of fibrillar proteins in hepatic parenchyma causing synthetic and metabolic disfunction. Remotion of excessive fibrous proteins might result in benefit for subjects increasing survival index. The goal of this work was to find whether the already known therapeutical effect of human urokinase Plasminogen Activator and human Matrix Metalloprotease 8 extends survival index in cirrhotic animals.
