Seasonal Changes in Cardiac Response, in Lamellidens Corrianus, from Nandrabad Pond
Bivalve and gastropod molluscs undergo large changes in external environmental conditions, as well as in internal state. Cardiac responses to these changing conditions have been recorded in a variety of species. There is a general tendency for heart rate, and presumably cardiac output, to increase in response to situations that would increase the load on respiratory and excretory systems. Changes in molluscan heart function in many cases appear not to be mediated directly by cardiac nerves, but rather by such indirect mechanisms as changes in blood constituents or mechanical, homodynamic affects the endogenous factors but the change in exogenous factors to affects the cardiac response. In the present investigation the heart beat rate was maximum in monsoon and minimum in winter season which is correlated few environmental factors.

Solid phase-promoted greener synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel Schiff bases under catalytically free condition
Non-traditional method (grinding) was used for the preparation of novel schiff bases from 4-amino-3-methyl phenol / 2-amino-4-methyl phenol and several aldehydes and ketones under catalytically free condition. This procedure constitutes an energy efficient, shorter time, higher yield as well as green synthesis approach. Some synthesized products were characterized by IR, NMR and MASS and also tested for antibacterial (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Klebsiella pneumonae) activities by disc diffusion method
