What is monsoon season? This monsoon word come from Arabic word which is wind patterns due to replacement of weather patterns. Monsoon typical definition is a season of wind reversing followed by corresponding changes in atmospheric calculation and precipitation . It is related with the asymmetric heating of sea and land. On the other word, monsoon also means rainy phase of pattern that are changing seasonally even though there is dry phase. The annual average of rainfall is 2420 mm for…

Throughout history there have been several events that I have been extremely pivotal moments in the development of the human race. This list includes momentous occasion such as domestication of animals, the invention of agriculture, the invention of writing and written laws comma the invention of the firearm, however no one event contributed to a greater ecological, economic, political, and social upheaval as the bridging of the old world and the new. In discovering the Americas, Christopher…

relationship between the spread of the agriculture by diffusion and its frequencies exposed human populations to the parasites (p. 553). As human populations grew over time, the environmental change resulted in the “adaptation of several species of the Anopheles gambiae to human habitations and the adaptation of many parasites to man as their host” (Livingstone, 1958, p. 556). The adaptation is probably from the agricultural technology…

introns and those in vertebrates don 't. Genome sequences of various insects were searched for potential Sox domain genes, to see if this phenomenon was unique to D. melanogaster. The genomes of three different species (Drosophila pseudoobscura, Anopheles gambiae, and Apis mellifere) were searched and the results suggested that there is a single orthologue of each Drosophila group B Sox gene in each of these three other…

2.1 Test materials: The essential oils of Curcuma longa (Zingiberaceae) rhizomes, Pogostemon heyneanus (Lamiaceae) leaves and Zanthoxylum limonella (Rutaceae) fruits were obtained from a commercial oil extraction plant in Assam, India. DMP was supplied by High Purity chemicals, New Delhi, India while DEPA was obtained from Defence Research and Development Establishment, Gwalior, India. Four concentrations (5, 10, 20 and 30%) of the essential oils, their mixtures, DEPA and DMP were prepared in…

The Silent Killer It’s small, quick and hungry. It weights less than an ounce, and is about ⅛ inch to ¾ inch long (Mosquito, 2015). There are over 3,500 different species around the world (Mosquito Facts-33, 2014). This creature travels throughout the globe sucking blood from thousands of innocent people and leaving behind welts and taking lives. What is the most dangerous animal in the world? The mosquito. The mosquito can live in many types of environments, reproduce quickly, and can bite you…

What is biodiversity? Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life on Earth at all its levels and includes genes to ecosystems, as well as the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it (Cardinale, 2012). The Earth’s biodiversity has long been a source of wonderment and scientific curiosity, but is increasingly becoming a source of concern. The sheer diversity of life is of inestimable value. Biodiversity has a number of functions on Earth, from providing a foundation…

ABSTRACT N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) is an attractive target for the development of novel antimalarial drugs. In this paper, we report a hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR), a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and a comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) studies on a series of benzo[b]thiophene-containing selective inhibitors of plasmodial NMT. Two QSAR models were constructed, one for Plasmodium falciparum NMT and another for Homo…
