It is one of the major causes of soil contamination due to its higher adsorption coefficient, hydrophobicity and relatively longer persistence. Conducted study was attempted to monitor responses of Bacillus megaterium, isolated from the paddy growing agricultural field towards different doses of chlorpyrifos. The results highlighted the tolerance of this bacterium to higher concentration (800 mg L-1) of chlorpyrifos. However, protein is an important macromolecule in any living cells and is representative of all the important functions going inside the cell. Thus, quantification and profiling of protein of this bacterium in response to different doses of chlorpyrifos would probably decipher expression, if any, of stress responsive gene(s). The overall findings revealed that Bacillus megaterium expressed a few enzymes/ or proteins in order to show adaptation towards surrounding environment. It can be an efficient degrader of chlorpyrifos, hence, could be exploited for remediation of chlorpyrifos contaminated sites. \u0000","PeriodicalId":17214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ravishankar University (PART-B)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74538385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such way can be seen in creating neighborhoods and environments that engage in practices that encourage sustainable living. Another is the usage of a technique that measures the amount of energy a commodity takes to produce to be put into use, followed by its maintenance and end of life. Life cycle analysis (LCA) is a technique used to understand the amount of energy that has surpassed the initial production of any product to its final disposal stage. This was brought out for the sole purpose of utilizing and opting for products that possess low embodied energy- an attempt to sensitize people to sustainability. Over the years the phases and the scale for LCA have changed drastically. This paper focuses on how the life cycle analysis could contribute to developing an environment for people that portrays sustainability in Chhattisgarh. A sustainable community is a way ahead for a better future and by integrating LCA for creating a sustainable community in the Indian context, a holistic approach could be envisaged that delivers the aim to be environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. \u0000","PeriodicalId":17214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ravishankar University (PART-B)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88472180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its excellent capability is it going to be cardiac rate measurement method of future. However, the difficulty in HR measurement is that, it gets affected with noise very easily because the amplitude of physiological signal is very weak. remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a technique to measure the cardiac activity in a contact-less manner using digital cameras. However, the HR estimation suffers from two major artifacts, motion artifact and illumination artifact. Denoising of rPPG signal is a fundamental problem and needs to be addressed very carefully.

The aim of present study was to formulate Magnetically Responsive Mesalamine Microspheres by solvent evaporation method using biodegradable polymers Chitosan and Pectin and carry out the various pharmaceutical and magnetic characterizations, to study the effect of polymer type on in-vitro drug release and preclinical in-vitro screening studies such as in- vitro release studies using microflora activated system and in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity. 2. Chemical compatibility study was performed using FTIR spectroscopy. FTIR spectroscopy studies indicated that the Mesalamine is compatible with polymers. The spectra showed no changes in the major peaks thus confirming no interactions between drug and polymers. 3. Calibration curves of Mesalamine was constructed in Phosphate Buffer Saline pH7. 4. Magnetite (Fe3O4) (used as magnetic carrier) was chemically synthesized using precipitation method.5.
