We examine the effect of the 2005 Banking Regulation Amendment Bill and the 2011 Banking Laws Amendment Bill proposals for removal of the 10 percent voting rights cap in Indian Banks. The 2011 Banking Laws Bill was first introduced in 2005, but lapsed with the dissolution of the 14th Lok ...
and paleontologist Richard Owen in 18581. At the time, the taxon comprised “numerous organisms of minute size retaining the form of nucleated cells, which manifest the common organic characters, but without the distinctive superadditions of true plants or animals”1. Since then, the terms protozo...
or act as an herbivore and suck plant sap. However,Lygusspecies are not sap feeders in the sense of “real” sap feeders that feed passively on phloem sap like aphids (Walker2022) or actively on xylem sap like spittlebugs (Bergman et al.2021).Lygusnymphs and adults have piercing...
Biofouling has been referred to as “the Achilles heel” of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology; the main cause being polyamide RO membranes lack of chlorine tolerance. Biofouling increases the operating cost of water treatment by increasing RO system feed pressure (i.e., energy demand) and...
increase in expression of basigin, an essential receptor forP. falciparuminvasion, on beta thalassaemic cells compared to wild type controls, and we speculate that this change in expression level could also act against anyP. falciparuminvasion defect for beta thalassaemia....
Dietary magnesium (Mg) deficiency is more prevalent than generally suspected, and can cause cardiovascular lesions leading to disease at all stages of life. The average American diets is deficient in Mg, especially in the young, in alcoholic persons, and
in large part due to the wider availability of clean water, better sanitation and increased standards of living.2, 3 These improvements in health were concentrated mostly in higher-income countries, but they occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) as well. 4 Subsequent rapid progress...
“Heavy metals” are the chemical elements which, in their standard state, have a specific gravity of more than about 5 g cm−3 i.e. their densities are five times greater than water. These constitute a very heterogeneous group of elements greatly...
For example, microglia, which act as the primary resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), have been demonstrated to be activated via TLRs (e.g., TLR4) in Sprague-Dawley rats following fluid percussion injury [43]. Microglial activation leads to expression of myeloid ...
The poorly explored hydro-physical convectional movements under long-lasting lake ice (Bouffard et al.,2016,2019; Pernica et al.,2017) act as floating aid for species adapted to grow under such conditions. A number of species, mostly diatoms, possess this ability likeAulacoseiraspp. andUrosol...
