Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed total soil organic carbon (TOC) and carbon management across six different land use systems in Rajasthan, India, highlighting the impact of these systems on carbon storage and economic value.
  • Forest land (FL) showed the highest levels of TOC and carbon management index, while barren land (BL) had the lowest, indicating significant differences in carbon stocks among the land use systems.
  • The findings suggest promoting practices that restore barren and agricultural lands to horticultural or agri-horticultural systems can enhance soil carbon storage and increase economic benefits from carbon credits.

Purpose: To compare the deviation in cases of horizontal strabismus as assessed from photographs with the measurements as obtained in the strabismus clinic.

Methods: After obtaining informed consent, we recruited subjects with manifest horizontal strabismus. We took a frontal flash photograph from a distance of 50 cm using smart-phone-based cameras with the flash light vertically aligned with the lens.

Lactose hydrolysed concentrated milk was prepared using β-galactosidase enzyme (4.76U/mL) with a reaction period of 12 h at 4 °C. Addition of polysaccharides (5 % maltodextrin/β-cyclodextrin) to concentrated milk either before or after lactose hydrolysis did not result in significant differences (p > 0.

Introduction: Goat milk has poorer fermentation characteristics due to the absence or only traces of αs1-casein, due to which goat yoghurt contains a less dense gel structure. Moreover, the fermentation characteristics of the milk vary between the breeds of the same species. Therefore, it becomes imperative to explore a few metabolites which could regulate the techno-functional properties of goat yoghurt.
