We propose a novel method for estimating reproduction number ( R 0 ) using community mobility to obtain optimal vaccination coverage (OVC). Different scenarios for achieving the desired immunization rates are evaluated using nonlinear regression models. The impact of recovery rates on mobility is also assessed to determine how the economy would have fared in various scenarios. Lock-downs due to COVID-19, which restricted mobility, were the main cause of the decline in GDP. For the city of Mumbai in India, with an increase in recovery rate from 1% to 5%, it was observed that mobility and thus economic activity might have been restored to some extent. The findings presented here may aid the governing bodies in developing more effective emergency response plans.","PeriodicalId":11194,"journal":{"name":"Current Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90012666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are important for nutrient cycling in soil and ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) are important source for these enzymes. In the present study, Dipterocarpus retusus seedlings native to Nagaland and Eastern Himalaya were inoculated with Scleroderma citrinum and Russula rosea ectomycorrhizal fungi along with un-inoculated seedlings. Soil enzymes like urease and dehydrogenase and nitrogen content were analyzed in rhizosphere region of seedlings. S. citrinum inoculated seedlings produced higher urease and dehydrogenase activity in rhizospheric soil and root surfaces and produced higher nitrogen content. Higher amount of carbohydrate content was observed in S. citrinum inoculated seedlings. Significant relation was found between ectomycorrhizal colonization and carbohydrate content. S. citrinum fungus was found to be more effective symbiont with D. retusus seedlings during nursery practices for nutrient acquisition in waste land soil.","PeriodicalId":11194,"journal":{"name":"Current Science","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89980181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

KCLs are the most general equations in conservation form which govern the evolution of Ω t with physically realistic singularities. A special type of singularity is a kink, which is a point on Ω t when it is a curve in two dimensions and a curve on Ω t when it is a surface in three dimensions. Across a kink, the normal direction n to Ω t and the normal velocity m of Ω t are discontinuous. This article is aimed at non-experts in the field.
