Regarding ages, 11-12 years were highly infected. Females were observed to be infected more than male students. Children of unempl...

On the basis of results, it was found that Morus alba wood may be comparatively stronger and have better seasoning and preservation behavior. Moreover, Morus alba wood may be more resistant to deteriorating agents in comparison to Morus nigra. Further, the wood of both the sp...

Results showed that maximum average ring growth rate was found in Paulownia catalpifolia and the highest heartwood percentage was observed in Paulownia tomentosa. Maximum fiber length and fiber diameter was measured in P. catalpifolia and the lowest i...

On the basis of results it was observed that Kiker, Robinia, Lachi and Gurgrua wood may be strong and hard and Toot, Kangar, Siris, Willow, Barh, Batkar and Jaman wood may be better or medium in strength due to longer, thick-walled or narrow lumened fibers. The wood of all the studied species may ...

Results revealed that Babul and Phulai wood may be strong and hard and Jand, Mulberry, Ghaz, Ash and Ber wood may be better in strength and moderately hard due to longer, thick-walled or narrow lumened fibers. The Apple wood may be medium in strength and comparatively soft because of thin-walled and wide lumened fibers. The wood of all the studied species may be non-durable due to higher freq...

Results showed that minute variations exist in general in average values of different anatomical features in Masquite wood grown in both areas. In Masquite wood grown in Punjab, the fibers are fairly longer and thick-walled, the wood rays are smaller in size and lower in frequ...

Results showed that in Acacia ampliceps wood, the fibers are medium in length and reasonably thick-walled. The vessels are small in diameter and lower in frequency. The wood rays are higher in frequency and a bit larger in size. The wood may be better in strength and can be used for various wood products. P...

Results showed that the wood of Neem, Mesquite, Kabuli Keker and Beri Patta may be stronger or better, Alstonia and Jacaranda medium and that of Sohanjna weak in strength on the basis of fiber morphological characteristics. The wood of all the studied species may be somewhat non-dur...

Results showed that Robinia wood is better in strength due to thick walled and long fibers. It is stronger than Shisham wood in different mechanical properties. The wood may be less durable but can be easily preserved with chemicals. Similarly the wood can be seasoned w...

Results showed that on the basis of fiber morphological characteristics, the wood of Phulai, Ipip Ipil, Black Siris and White Siris may be stronger or better in strength whereas, Pipal, Lasura and Jand may be medium and Gul-i-Nishtar light in strength. Due to abundant axi...

Results showed that in Amaltas, Ber, Bakain, White Bakain and Paper mulberry woods, the vessels were sufficient large in diameter and in Chinar and Paper mulberry woods, the frequency of vessels was found to be higher. Therefore, the woods may be easily seasoned and preserved. Amaltas, Chinar, Paper mulberry, Ber, Bakain, White Bakain, and F...

Results revealed that in Elm wood, the fibers were longer, medium in diameter, wide lumened and fairly thick-walled due to that the wood may be relatively better in strength. The vessels were lower in frequency but quite larger in diameter and the wood can be seasoned without any difficulty. The wood rays were medium pe...

Five larval instars were determined with maximum and minimum ratio of increase in head capsule width of 0.748 and 0.624 with an average 0.70 which conforms with Dyar's rule. The pest was found active in all larval instars from April to October except June and it over wintered in larval stage (2-5th instar) from November to February. Six to seven generations were found in a year....

The expressions of TF, Bax and Bcl-2 in the cells were determined by Western blot. After treatment with TF-TP 150 μmol/L, the cell monolayer adhered to the wall, which was fusiform or polygonal. The suspended cells and cell debris were significantly reduced compared with the blue light model group. Hoecht st...
