Study performed to evaluate the dermal irritation potential of newly developed semi- permanent hair colour shampoo as per the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guidelines. It was observed that no clinical signs of toxicity and mortalities noticed during the study. In initial test and confirmatory tests, there was no evidence of dermal irritation. Semi-permanent hair colorant can be classified as “Non-Irritant”

Mulberry (Morus alba) belongs to family Moraceae is a perennial tree. It is used as a traditional medicine and modern drug preparation, mainly constitutes diet for the silk worm. The preliminary phytochemcial screening of three extracts (ethanolic, and aqueous) of mulberry leaves revealed that it contains alkaloids, phenols, quinones, phlobatannins, cardiac glycosides, carotenoids, reducing sugars and volatile oils etc. which give the medicines several healing properties.

In the present paper Poisson distribution of the tuberculosis population has been calculated and along with this expression has been obtained for the tuberculosis individuals as their average number. For obtaining such estimates the conventional method that has been used so far is Maximum Likelihood Principle but the problem that has been associated with this conventional principle is that this method any prior information that is available about the parameters of the study has not been taken into account by this method.

Among the electrically conducting polymers, polyaniline (PANI) has attracted more interest due to its advantages over the others, such as easy synthesis, low cost, good processability, high environment stability, and reversible control of electrical properties by both charge-transfer doping and protonation. In India, about 75% of the electricity is generated by coal-based thermal power plants that produce 6.5×107 tons per year of fly ash as a by-product.

This paper describes the seismic analysis of reactor building of a Nuclear Power Plant including the soil structure interaction analysis for uniform soil. The soil stiffness of the soil below foundation has been computed from two standards ASCE 4-98 and RCC-G and comparison is made. Simplified lumped mass stick model for time history analysis of reactor containment building along with internal structures is made in SAP2000 advanced V 11.0.2. The time history of Kashmir Earthquake on October 8, 2005 is used as input motion.
