Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases. Literature suggests that yoga including a group of asanas reduces blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, to the best of our knowledge, no known study evaluated the effects of a single asana (i.

Context: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels. Yoga has been shown to have positive effects on blood sugar levels in diabetes patients. However, there is limited research on the effects of specific yoga poses on blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

In this work, we report the role of ice-like water adlayers (IWLs) formed under ambient conditions in between mechanically exfoliated as-prepared and patterned few layer graphene (FLG) and multi-layer graphene (MLG) on hydrophobic Si and hydrophilic SiO2/Si substrates. The growth of the IWL is probed by measuring the height changes in graphene using intermittent contact atomic force microscopy (IC-AFM) and their electrostatic effect is studied using electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) over time. It is found that more IWLs are formed within a shorter period of time, when both as-prepared graphene and underlying substrates are either hydrophobic or hydrophilic in nature.

A group of novel heterocyclic Schiff base derivatives were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectra, mass and CHN analysis. Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes in o-hydroxy Schiff base have been studied using electronic spectral studies. Experimental and FT studies support that trans enol form predominates over the cis enol form.
