Net ecosystem CO exchange from jute crop (Corchorus olitorius L.) and its environmental drivers in tropical Indo-Gangetic plain using open-path eddy covariance technique.

Present study is a maiden attempt to assess net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO) flux from jute crop (Corchorus olitorius L.) in the Indo-Gangetic plain by using open-path eddy covariance (EC) technique. Diurnal variations of NEE were strongly influenced by growth stages of jute crop.

Assessing the impact of current tropospheric ozone on yield loss and antioxidant defense of six cultivars of rice using ethylenediurea in the lower Gangetic Plains of India.

Climate change influences the current tropospheric ozone (O) budget due to industrialization and urbanization processes. In recent years, the impact of elevated O on crop development and yield loss has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues, particularly in rural and suburban areas of the lower Indo-Gangetic Plains of India. The impact of the current tropospheric ozone (O) on the crop yield, photosynthetic yield, and enzymatic antioxidants of six rice (Oryza sativa L.

Nano-crush technique in narrow-angle (<70°) bifurcation: bench test, CT reconstruction, fluid dynamics, and clinical outcomes.

Background: Bifurcation stenting techniques are still refining and under testing. Nano-crush is a novel technique which allow minimum protrusion of side branch struts at the ostium. To demonstrate the efficacy of Nano-crush technique in narrow-angle bifurcation (<70°) using bench test model, 3D reconstruction of the stent structure, computational fluid dynamics study and a clinical follow-up.

Percutaneous coronary intervention of severely/moderately calcified coronary lesions using single-burr rotational atherectomy: A retrospective study.

Objective: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention in moderately and severely calcified coronary lesions, which are either not crossed or dilated using a Scoreflex balloon at nominal pressure, using single-burr rotational atherectomy (burr-artery ratio, ≤0.6) followed by scoring balloon dilatation (balloon-artery ratio, 0.9).

Prevalence and pattern of childhood injuries in Siliguri City, West Bengal, India.

Background: Children are vulnerable to injuries, and childhood injury is a complex phenomenon precipitated by a set of factors. In India, the magnitude and nature of childhood injury are not clearly known owing to the absence of a proper injury surveillance system. However, in recent days few studies demonstrated a substantially high burden of childhood injury.

A novel “nano-crush” technique for the management of coronary bifurcation lesions: in vitro bench test analysis and preliminary report on real-world clinical evaluation in patients with one-year angiographic follow-up.

Aims: Although provisional stenting with a single drug-eluting stent has proven clinical efficacy in the treatment of bifurcation stenosis, some patients may require two stents. We propose a novel technique, called "nano-crush", which is easy to perform and can be used in all bifurcation angles.

Methods And Results: The feasibility of the nano-crush technique was confirmed in an in vitro bench test and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) study.

Start codon targeted (SCoT) polymorphism reveals genetic diversity in wild and domesticated populations of ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaudich.), a premium textile fiber producing species.

Twenty-four start codon targeted (SCoT) markers were used to assess genetic diversity and population structure of indigenous, introduced and domesticated ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaudich.).
