For long-term performance assessment of obsidian, we present computation chemistry and experimental data sets on glass dissolution and associated ionic release obtained after treating specimens under near hydrothermal conditions (for 1

This work reports an attempt to make use of the indigenously developed high resolution IRS-1C satellite imagery to generate a database, including expertize from different organizations involved in floral, soil, microbial, hydro, socio-economic and geological fields. In the absence of large scale topographic maps, high resolution precision geocoded PAN + LISS-III imageries at 1 : 12,500 were used.

This study deals with the plant diversity and effects of disturbance on two types of forest namely, Anogeissus latifolius mixed forest (700

A clear seasonal cycle has been detected in the intra annual oxygen isotope variations (? 18O) of cellulose from several annual growth rings of teak trees that grew in central India. This persistent cycle is marked by higher ? 18O values at the ring boundaries and lower ? 18O values at intermediate parts. The amplitude of this seasonal cycle varies up to 6.8

The enormous complexity of human body offers scope to conceptualize its dynamic organization in a number of ways such as structural, biochemical, functional, etc. The conventional western medicine views the body from a structural perspective, whereas ayurveda, the ancient medical system of India, understands the human body from the perspective of functions/tridoshas (vata, pitta and kapha).

Electronic waste (e-waste) or Waste from Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) as it is popularly called includes used, obsolete or damaged electronic and electrical equipments and other such scrap. Recycling of WEEE has emerged as a lucrative business as these products are stripped down to obtain valuable metals like platinum, gold and copper.

The landslide disaster on 8 August 2009 near Kuity village in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand State buried two villages and took 43 lives. The landslide, triggered by cloud burst resulted in massive debris flow along a stream channel.
