TL;DR: The use of transition metal nanoferrites as catalyst in thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) and combustion of composite solid propellant (CSP) has been reviewed in this article.
Abstract: Recent applications of transition metal nanoferrites as catalyst in thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) and combustion of composite solid propellant (CSP), have been reviewed. Catalytic applications include the use of mainly cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, manganese, cadmium nanoferrites, as well as their mixed-metal combinations. The nanoferrites are obtained mainly by wet-chemical, sol-gel, solvo-thermal, auto-combustion and co-precipitation methods. Addition of nanoferrites to AP led to shifting of the high temperature decomposition peak toward lower temperatures which shows their catalytic activity. The burning rates of CSPs have also been enhanced by these nanoferrites. Contents of Paper

01 Jun 2013TL;DR: Investigations showed that the essential oils of Syzygium aromaticum and Aegle marmelos can be used as alternative grain-protectant for stored-grain insect pests and fumigant toxicity against rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae.
Abstract: The uncontrolled use of synthetic chemicals is a great hazard for the environment and consumers. In the present study, essential oils from two different plants were extracted using hydro-distillation. These oils were also assayed for their insecticidal properties against rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae. The results showed that the essential oils of Syzygium aromaticum and Aegle marmelos had fumigant toxicity against S. oryzae. During fumigation, toxicity bioassay and percentage mortality increased with increasing concentration. The toxicity of 10 days old adults of S. oryzae increased with concentration from 15 to 30/100 μl, with exposure time 24–48 h. The LC50 of S. oryzae adults against S. aromaticum and A. marmelos were 15.347 and 16.133 μl at 48 h exposure, respectively. These investigations showed that the essential oils can be used as alternative grain-protectant for stored-grain insect pests.

TL;DR: It is indicated that newly emerged parasitoids (0–12 h old) are most fecund and should be used in rearing practices in order to enhance the progeny yield, particularly with respect to daughters.
Abstract: Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), commonly called gram pod borer, is a serious pest of pulse crops in India and damages chickpea (Cicer arietinum L). On average a 30% crop loss is reported. One of the potential natural enemies reported for its biological control is Campoletis chlorideae Uchida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), an idiobiont parasitic wasp that attacks second instar larvae of the pod borer. Male-biased sex ratios hinder efforts to mass release parasitic Hymenoptera for biological control by making the production of females costly. Parental age at time of mating is known to affect the progeny sex ratio in some Braconidae. In this view, we examined the reproduction and survival of the parasitoid C. chlorideae in the laboratory [22 ± 4°C, 70 ± 10% R.H. and 10:14 h light:dark photoperiod]. All the nine (i.e. 3 × 3) combinations of possible mating were made for males and females, being each of different age groups (0–12, 48–60 and 96–108 h old). Second instar larvae of the pod borer were reared on chickpea and exposed to mated females of different mating age group combinations. Results revealed that (a) newly emerged females (0–12 h old) mated to aged males yielded more progeny contrasted to the older females inseminated by newly emerged males (0–12 h old). This implies that increased maternal age at mating caused greater reduction in the progeny yield than that of paternal age; (b) the progeny sex ratio was lowest (0.344 ± 0.057) (mean ± SD) when parents mated just after emergence (0–12 h old). It became more and more male biased as parents were deprived of mate and was highest (0.666 ± 0.701) for 96–108 h old parents. The analysis of variance of the data shows that mate deprived males caused greater contribution in the production of sons, resulting a male-biased progeny sex ratio. Our conclusion indicate that newly emerged parasitoids (0–12 h old) are most fecund and should be used in rearing practices in order to enhance the progeny yield, particularly with respect to daughters.

TL;DR: The energetic study shows that, a mixed hybrid type quadruplex conformation in which two parallel strands are bind with other two antiparallel strands, are more stable than other conformations.
Abstract: Telomeric ends of chromosomes, which comprise noncoding repeat sequences of guanine-rich DNA, which are the fundamental in protecting the cell from recombination and degradation. Telomeric DNA sequences can form four stranded quadruplex structures, which are involved in the structure of telomere ends. The formation and stabilization of telomeric quadruplexes has been shown to inhibit the activity of telomerase, thus establishing telomeric DNA quadrulex as an attractive target for cancer therapeutic intervention. Molecular dynamic simulation offers the prospects of detailed description of the dynamical structure with ion and water at molecular level. In this work we have taken a oligomeric part of human telomeric DNA, d(TAGGGT) to form different monomeric quadruplex structures d(TAGGGT)4. Here we report the relative stabilities of these structures under K+ ion conditions and binding interaction between the strands, as determined by molecular dynamic simulations followed by energy calculation. We have taken locked nucleic acid (LNA) in this study. The free energy molecular mechanics Poission Boltzman surface area calculations are performed for the determination of most stable complex structure between all modified structures. We calculated binding free energy for the combination of different strands as the ligand and receptor for all structures. The energetic study shows that, a mixed hybrid type quadruplex conformation in which two parallel strands are bind with other two antiparallel strands, are more stable than other conformations. The possible mechanism for the inhibition of the cancerous growth has been discussed. Such studies may be helpful for the rational drug designing.
