    Abstract Aim: The goal was to evaluate the effect of resveratrol (RS) and combination therapy of RS and donepezil (DPZ), on the numerical expression of microglial cells and astrocytes, in the frontal cortex, regions of the hippocampus in colchicine-induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) model.
    Methods: The study involved male albino
    Results: AD group showed an increase in the number of microglia, and the numbers declined in the treatment groups, RS 10, RS 20, RS10/10 and DPZ + RS (
    Conclusion: RS administration has diminished the microglial number and elevated the number of astrocytes. The elevated reactive astrocytes have decreased the microglial population. However, the limitation of our study is utilizing the colchicine for the induction of neurodegeneration. Using the transgenic models of AD may give a better insight into the pathogenesis and effect of RS. Another limitation of this study is the administration of RS and DPZ through different routes. The prospects of this research include studying the probiotic nature of RS and the effect of RS in other neurodegenerative disorders.

    Abstract Many studies based on the geodetic data and statistical analysis of seismicity have pointed out that sufficient amount of stress accumulated in the Himalayan plate boundary may host a big earthquake. Consequently, high seismic activities and infrastructural developments in the major cities around Himalayan regions are always of major concern. The ground motion parameter estimation plays a vital role in the near real time evaluation of potentially damaged areas and helps in mitigating the seismic hazard. Therefore, keeping in mind the importance of estimation of ground motion parameters, we targeted two moderate-size earthquakes that occurred recently within a gap of 10 months in Uttarakhand region with M > 5.0 on 06/02/2017 and 06/12/2017. The ground motions are simulated by adopting a stochastic modeling technique. The source is assumed as ω−2, a circular point source (Brune’s model). The average value of reported anelastic attenuation from various studies, the quality factor, Qs = 130.4*(f0.996), and stress drop values obtained through iterative procedure are considered for simulations. The stochastic spectra are generated between 0.1 and 10 Hz of frequency range. The site effect is also estimated by using the H/V method in the same frequency range. The synthetic spectra are compared with the observed Fourier amplitude spectra obtained from the recorded waveform data and converted back to the time histories. The stochastic time histories are compared with the observed waveforms and discussed in terms of amplitude (PGA). The simulated and observed response spectra at different structural periods are also discussed. The mismatch between the observed and simulated PGA values along with the GMPE existing for shallow crustal earthquakes is also discussed in the present work.

    Abstract This study investigated the concentration of heavy metals in rainwater (RW) at a semi-arid region of the Indo-Gangetic basin to understand the influence of local, regional, or long-range transport of air pollutants during the monsoon and non-monsoonal rain. The concentration of heavy metals in RW was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer with Graphite Furnace, the scavenging ratio was estimated, and source interpretation was carried out using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and HYSPLIT model. Ca was the highest contributor in RW followed by Na, Fe, Mg, and Al whereas Ba, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were found in trace quantity. During the non-monsoon period, the crustal component (Ca) was the highest; however, during the monsoon, sea salt components (Na and Fe) were found higher. The scavenging ratio for metals was estimated and was found many times higher than those reported over European sites. The moderate concentration of heavy metal in RW was found with higher wind from South (S), South-West (SW), and North-West (NW) directions. Air mass back trajectory shows a significant contribution of metals from the Arabian Sea (South-Westerly wind) during active monsoon, whereas, in the non-monsoon season, the air masses mainly originated from the north-west indicating a contribution from wind-blown dust. The correlation analysis has shown the positive correlations between Ca and Mg, Mg and Na, Na and Cu, Al and Zn, Zn and Ba, Ba and Cr, and Cr and Zn. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated loading of Ca, Na, Mg, Cu, Mn, and Ni in the first factor suggesting their crustal origin, whereas the second factor showed high loading of Al, Ba, Zn, Cr, and Ni indicating vehicular exhaust and industrial emission as their major sources, and loading for Ba and Mg in the third factor indicates the mixed contribution from both natural and anthropogenic sources in rainwater during the monsoon and non-monsoon periods. The data of this study can be used in the air pollution transport model. This study will help in source interpretation over the Indo-Gangetic basin and will help in planning for National Clean Air Program (NCAP) and deriving critical load.

    Abstract The numerical, analytical, and experimental analyses are presented for synchronizing two rotors under the Yukawa interaction. We report that the rotors exhibit in-phase and mixed-phase measure synchronizations for a pair of coupled rotors. Here, the analytical condition for synchronization is derived, tested numerically, and confirmed experimentally using coupled camphor infused rotors as a test bed. Moreover, the concept of measure synchronization is discussed. We report that, in conservative systems, not only the critical coupling parameter but initial conditions also play an essential role for estimating the measure synchronization region.

    Abstract The aim of this systematic review is to examine current evidence on the nature and extent of disrespect and abuse (D&A), mistreatment and practices of respectful maternity care of women during childbirth in India. Electronic databases were searched for published studies relevant to the topic. The search was conducted from May to September 2018. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to conduct the review. A results synthesis was done using the Bowser and Hill landscape analytical framework for D&A of women during childbirth. Eleven studies are included in this review of which six were cross-sectional, four were qualitative, and one used a mixed-method approach. The type of abuse most frequently reported was the lack of respect and dignity (nondignified care) experienced by the women, usually in the form of negative and unfriendly attitudes of the providers. The least frequent form of mistreatment was physical abuse and detention in the facilities. The frequency of reported D&A was high, ranging from 10% to 77.3%. These behaviors were influenced by lack of education and empowerment of the women, their low socioeconomic status, poor training of providers and supervision, and a lack of accountability. Overall, disrespectful and abusive behavior had adverse impact on the utilization of health facilities for childbirth. It created a psychological distance between women and health providers. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic literature review to be conducted on respectful maternity care in India.

    Abstract In the course of evolution, living organisms have become well equipped with diverse natural products that serve important functions, including defence from biotic and abiotic stress, growth regulation, reproduction, metabolism, and epigenetic regulation. It seems to be the organism's ecological niche that influences the natural product's structural and functional diversity. Indeed, natural products constitute the nuts and bolts of molecular co-evolution and ecological relationships among different life forms. Since natural products in the form of specialized secondary metabolites exhibit biological functions via interactions with specific target proteins, they can provide a simultaneous glimpse of both new therapeutics and therapeutic targets in humans as well. In this review, we have discussed the innate role of natural products in the ecosystem and how this intrinsic role provides a futuristic opportunity to identify new drugs and therapeutic targets rapidly.

    Abstract We present numerical and experimental results for the generation of aperiodic motion in coupled active rotators. The numerical analysis is presented for two point particles constrained to move on a unit circle under the Yukawa-like interaction. Simulations exhibit that the collision among the rotors results in chaotic motion of the rotating point particles. Furthermore, the numerical model predicts a route to chaotic motion. Subsequently, we explore the effect of separation between the rotors on their chaotic dynamics. The numerically calculated fraction of initial conditions which led to chaotic motion shed light on the observed effects. We reproduce a subset of the numerical observations with two self-propelled ribbons rotating at the air-water interface. A pinned camphor rotor moves at the interface due to the Marangoni forces generated by surface tension imbalance around it. The camphor layer present at the common water surface acts as chemical coupling between two ribbons. The separation distance of ribbons (L) determines the nature of coupled dynamics. Below a critical distance (L_{T}), rotors can potentially, by virtue of collisions, exhibit aperiodic oscillations characterized via a mixture of co- and counterrotating oscillations. These aperiodic dynamics qualitatively matched the chaotic motion observed in the numerical model.
