Masonry, as one of the oldest construction techniques, has been used in historical sites. Assessment of structural performance under seismic effects is a very important step for restoration process of historic buildings that represent construction techniques and material characteristics of their era. Following a methodology that includes research, diagnostics, safety analysis and the determination of effective reinforcement intervention techniques must be done in respect of the historical values ​​and the original conception of the building.

The heavy metals like Ph, Hg, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, Ag, etc. of which As, Cd, Pb and Hg are considered biotoxin chemicals to humans, animals, fishes and environment Excessive concentrations of these heavy metals has been a matter of serious concern as they destabilize ecosystems because of their bioaccumulation in organisms, and toxic effects on biota and causing death in most living beings including wildlife.

Emamectin benzoate (EMB), a macrocyclic lactone insecticide, is extensively used to control insect pests in agriculture and management of parasites in aquaculture farms. Owing to its widespread application, EMB has been detected in soil and water samples throughout the world and raised environmental pollution concerns. Due to itshigh efficiency, persistence, residue and bioaccumulation properties, EMB has caused adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Thus, in the current study, the toxicity of EMB on marker enzymes of zebrafish (Danio rerio) was assessed.

The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed modern power systems by enabling real-time monitoring, automation, predictive analytics, and improved decision-making. The integration of IoT with smart sensors, cloud platforms, communication networks, and advanced data analytics supports more efficient power system analysis. This study explores the key applications of IoT in power system analysis, including load forecasting, fault detection, condition monitoring, grid stability assessment, and asset management.

Background- Oral cancer is one of the most widely prevalent diseases of the world. It is a form of malignant neoplasm found mostly on the lip, floor of the mouth, cheek lining, gingiva, palate or in the tongue. Aim- To assess and compare oral health related quality of life and depressive symptoms among adult patients detected with oral precancerous lesions and a healthy comparison group attending outpatient department of a dental hospital of Dibrugarh district.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative illness with an incidence of 1-2 cases per 100,000 people and an estimated 6,000 new patients diagnosed each year.This work identifies both known and new miRNAs in naïve hematopoietic stem cells and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) stem cells using IonTorrent Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. Using miRNA profiling, significant differences in miRNA expression were found; certain miRNAs linked with epigenetic regulation and promoter methylation.

The Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome is produced by the reciprocal translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22, which is a hallmark of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), a clonal myeloproliferative illness. Organic cation transporter 1 (OCT-1) and organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (OCTN2) are two membrane transporters that are necessary for the entry of imatinib into cells. Consequently, as their low expression lowers the intracellular imatinib concentration, membrane transporters have also been identified as significant factors to poor treatment response.

Background: Cryptosporidiosis due to Cryptosporidium parvum is an important zoonotic disease distributed world-wide and Cryptosporidium parvum was 1streported in 1907 in the gastric crypts of laboratory mouse by Edward Tyzzer. It is now well recognized in among immunocompromised individuals.In 1981 Michael Gottlieb and his colleagues at Los Angeles reported abroad range of opportunistic enteric parasites responsible for gastrointestinal infections like cryptosporidiosis, in patients with severe immunosuppression.

Fish are a vital component of human nutrition, providing high-quality protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that contribute to health and food security. The present study aimed to perform a comparative nutritional characterization of three Indian major carpsLabeo rohita (rohu), Catla catla (catla) and Cirrhinus mrigala (mrigal) collected from wild and cultured sources in the Madurai district, Tamil Nadu. Proximate composition (protein, lipid, ash, moisture and carbohydrate) and amino acid profiles were analysed using standard AOAC and HPLC methods.

The development of nano-fertilizers, especially nano-urea, has created opportunities to improve agricultural nutrient use efficiency and possibly reduce environmental losses. Beyond its agronomic advantages, however, little is known about the ecological effects of nano-urea on soil biotic communities. The function of nano-urea as a modulator of soil biotic interactions is examined in this review, with an emphasis on how it affects cropping systems’ macrofaunal functionality and soil microbiota diversity.
