Insufficient multimodal transportation infrastructure in Indian cities increases travel time, waiting time, traffic congestion, traffic accidents, travel costs, fast-growing energy consumption, and walking distance. The multimodal transportation system's journey time performance must be analysed to tackle these transportation concerns. Thus, this research provides a fundamental method for assessing multimodal transportation system trip time performance.

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification that regulates the turnover and activity of proteins. The overexpression of AlRabring7, RING-HC E3 Ub ligase in tobacco provides insights into the regulation of salinity and ABA signaling in transgenic tobacco.

The presence of physiologically active component stimulate plant stress signaling pathways, enhances growth and productivity, as well as serve as plant defense agents. The seaweed extracts can reduce the use of chemicals that harm the environment for disease management.

Methods: A total of 10 subjects diagnosed with anisometropic amblyopia were enrolled during the study period. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), stereoacuity, and contrast acuity were evaluated during three visits (at presentation, 3 months and 6 months) of smartphone-based anaglyph video run in the VR mode.
Purpose: To find the association between reduced best-corrected visual acuity and non-pathologic components after optical correction in individuals with low to high myopia.
Methods: Myopic children under 16 years of age were reviewed using electronic medical records and the following data were extracted and recorded: participant's age, gender, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), manifest refraction, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Spherical equivalent and cylinder were classified into low, moderate, and high categories based on the magnitude range.
Unlabelled: The charcoal-rot caused by is one of the major disease in many economically important crop plants including tomato. The molecular responses of the host plant against the are poorly stated. In the present study, for the first time the molecular insight of tomato- interaction and extract (SE) toward managing disease through RNA-seq approach is established.

Methods: An online survey was distributed to Indian optometrists. A pre-validated questionnaire was adopted from previous literature.
Purpose: To evaluate the causes, associated neurological and ocular findings in children with cerebral visual impairment (CVI), and to identify risk factors for severe vision impairment.
Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was carried out from January 2017 to December 2019 on patients less than 16 years of age with a diagnosis of CVI.
Results: A total of 405 patients were included of which 61.

Jatropha, a popular biodiesel crop, suffers severe losses due to (JLCuGV) infection in Gujarat (India). Metabolite profiling can help to understand the plant's innate immune response to geminivirus infection. Our study aims to compare metabolic profiles of an infected and healthy plant to unravel the changes in biochemical pathways on geminivirus infection in Jatropha.

The phytic acid is one of the major antinutrient compound, present in seeded fruits and crops. It hinders the absorption of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca), causing mineral deficiencies.

Salinity not only affects crop yield but also limits available land for farming by decreasing its fertility. Presence of distinct traits in response to environmental conditions might result in evolutionary adaptations.

Purpose: To measure and compare suture-related complications in children undergoing cataract surgery with a surgical incision closure performed by either a 10-0 nylon suture followed by suture removal within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery or a 10-0 polyglactin suture left in situ.
Methods: This was a prospective, non-randomized cohort study. All children with bilateral cataracts who underwent cataract surgery with a surgical incision closure by non-absorbable 10-0 nylon sutures followed by suture removal within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery in their first eye and incision closure by absorbable 10-0 polyglactin sutures left in situ after their second eye surgery.
Background Hypothyroidism, the commonest form of hormonal dysfunction, is due to thyroid hormone deficiency or its impaired activity. Homeostasis of the metabolism of minerals is regulated by thyroid hormones. If there is any disorder of the thyroid it will lead to disturbances of metabolism of minerals.

In the present study, we report the identification of a new strain of a Jatropha leaf curl Gujarat virus (JLCuGV), which encodes six ORFs with each one having RNA silencing suppressor activity. Therefore, three artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs; C1/C4, C2/C3 and V1/V2) were designed employing overlapping regions, each targeting two ORFs of JLCuGV genomic DNA and transformed in tobacco.
