  • A modified Time-Ratio Gray Scale AMOLED drive technique is described in which the frame period is split into two half-frames, each of which is divided into binary weighted sub-frames and driven in the conventional time-ratio manner. The proposed technique improves aperture ratio by reducing TFT sizes in pixel circuits.

  • Quantum yield of photoisomerization of degassed n-hexane solution of all-trans-retinal (1) and all-trans-1, 4-diphenylbutadiene (4) at 25$\circ$C under direct irradiation conditions increases as the concentrations of 1 and 4 increase. Further, fluorescence lifetime of 4 at ambient temperature is also found to increase as the concentrations of 4 are increased. The results are discussed in terms quantum chain process which occurs due to exchange of energy between various conformers of the compounds concerned.

  • The distribution of Bothriecephazus sp., Guptaia sp., Mackiewicgia sp., Polyonchobethrium sp., PtMchobotkriune sp., and SeBtga sp. in the alimentary tract of nine Indian hill-stream fishes are described. Though the region around pyloric sphincter was preferred by most cestodes, Senga sp. enabled its existence even in the latter part of intestine apparently because of its well leveloped adhesive apparatus on scolex.

  • In this investigation we report our search for the presence of Leucine Rich Repeats (LRRs) in various Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) sub species. Leucine rich repeats are short sequence motifs present in some proteins. The consensus sequence corresponding to the LRR was present in Crystal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis sub species. This LRR sequence has been predicted to be involved in proteinprotein interactions or receptor binding functions, hence the importance of this study.

  • In this paper, by using the notion of ${\rho}$-(p,r)-invexity assumptions on the functions involved, optimality conditions and duality results (Mond-Weir, Wolfe and mixed type) are established on differentiable manifolds. Counterexample is constructed to justify that our investigations are more general than the existing work available in the literature.

  • In this paper, we establish the necessary and sufficient Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions for an optimization problem with difference of set-valued maps under generalized cone convexity assumptions. We also study the duality results of Mond-Weir (MW D), Wolfe (W D) and mixed (Mix D) types for the weak solutions of the problem (P).

  • Carbon nanotubes, prepared by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene at $700^{\circ}C$ over a Mm based $AB_5$ hydrogen storage alloy hydride catalysts, have been used as a support for platinum electrocatalysts. The performance of this electrocatalyst In proton exchange membrane fuel cells has been studied and discussed.

  • Solubility of carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$) in water increases appreciably in presence of $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$CD). $CCl_4$ is a very good quencher of 1-naphthol (1ROH) fluorescence. By studying the quenching of fluorescence of 1ROH included in $\beta$CD cavity, it was found that there is an increase in the availability of $CCl_4$ around $\beta$CD in the aqueous medium. This could help to rationalize the enhanced solubility of $CCl_4$.

  • A large number of chemical constituents have been reported from the Himalayan yew [Taxus baccata (Linn) or T. wallichiana (Zucc)]. These constituents are mainly taxoids and phenolics. Taxol, a lead anticancer agent, is the most important constituent. Other compounds have also been found to possess interesting biological properties. The literature concerning the chemistry and bioactivity of the constituents of the Himalayan yew has been briefly reviewed.

  • Background: To assess women's awareness from diverse sections of society in Delhi regarding various aspects of breast cancer (BC) - perceptions, signs and symptoms, risk factors, prevention, screening and treatment. Materials and Methods: Community-level survey was undertaken in association with the Indian Cancer Society (ICS), Delhi during May 2013-March 2014. Women attending BC awareness workshops by ICS were given self-administered questionnaires before the workshop in the local language to assess BC literacy. Information provided by 2017 women was converted into awareness scores (aware=1) for analysis using SPSS. Awareness scores were dichotomized with median score=19 as cut off, create more aware and less aware categories. Bivariate and multivariate analysis provided P-values, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Broadly, 53.4% women were aware about various aspects of BC. Notably, 49.1% women believed that BC was incurable and 73.9% women believed pain to be an initial BC symptom. Only 34.9% women performed breast self-examination (BSE) and 6.9% women had undergone clinical breast-examination/mammography. 40.5% women had higher awareness (awareness score > median score of 19), which was associated with education [graduates (OR=2.31; 95%CI=1.78, 3.16), post-graduates (OR=7.06; 95%CI=4.14, 12.05) compared to ${\leq}$ high school] and socio-economic status (SES) [low-middle (OR=4.20; 95%CI=2.72, 6.49), middle (OR=6.00; 95%CI=3.82, 9.42) and upper (OR=6.97; 95%CI=4.10, 11.84) compared to low SES]. Conclusions: BC awareness of women in Delhi was suboptimal and was associated with low SES and education. Awareness must be drastically increased via community outreach and use of media as a first step in the fight against BC.
