Measured values were found close to accuracy of highly sophisticated instruments (pyranometer and pyrheliometer), which are costlier for large-scale use, low commercial availability and need for a specialized knowledge for handling. Test results over a long duration under varying seasonal conditions were almost identical to those of a calibrated standard pyranometer. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 300-304 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/11590 Title: Effects of various agro-wastes on xylanase and <img src='/image/spc_char/beta.gif' border=0>-xylosidase production of anaerobic ruminal fungi <br/> <br/>Authors: Comlekcioglu, Ugur; Aygan, Ashabil; Yazdıc, Ferit C; Ozkose, Emin <br/> <br/>Abstract: This study presents effects of agro-wastes (wheat straw, barley straw, oat straw and corncobs) on production of extracellular xylanase and b-xylosidase of anaerobic fungal strains (10), isolated from fecal samples of cattle, goat and sheep. <i style="">Orpinomyces</i> sp. P4 exhibited remarkable xylanase activity (3.67 - 5.01 U ml^-1) on all sustrates. <i style="">Cyllamyces</i> sp. P7 showed least xylanase activity, however produced more xylanase in corncob containing medium (3.18 U ml^-1) as compared to other substrates. Secretion of b-xylosidase was comparatively lower in polycentric isolates as compared to monocentric isolates. <i style="">Neocallimastix</i> sp. M2 produced maximum b-xylosidase activity (1.87 U ml^-1) in xylan containing culture. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 293-299 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/11589 Title: Anti-inflammatory activity of <i>Jatropha gossypifolia </i>L. leaves in albino mice and Wistar rat <br/> <br/>Authors: Bhagat, Rani; Ambavade, S D; Misar, A V; Kulkarni, D K <br/> <br/>Abstract: Methanolic extract of <i>Jatropha gossypifolia</i> L. leaves showed systemic and significant anti-inflammatory activity in acute carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and chronic cotton pellet induced granuloma formation after oral treatment for 7 days in Wistar rats. Anti-inflammatory activity might be due to effects on several mediators and arachidonic granular tissue formation and leukocyte migration from vessels. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 289-292 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:58:59 GMT
