    Abstract: Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) shows a weak correlation with solar variability in the 20th century. However, such climatological observations on solar activity–monsoon relationship are very short and hence uncertain. A few paleomonsoon records also exhibit prominent correspondence with solar activity during early Holocene and beyond. But despite the strong recent solar minima (e.g. Maunder, Spörer, Oort, Wolf), their correlation with monsoon precipitation is weak and inconclusive. Additionally, many of the earlier studies have been from the western Arabian Sea that provides records of the ISM wind intensity instead of the ISM precipitation. We present here mid-Holocene to recent sea surface temperature (SST) reconstructed from Mg/Ca measurements of planktic foraminifera ( Globigerinoides ruber; white, sensu stricto) on a centennial-scale resolution from the southeastern Arabian. These measurements are used to correct the oxygen isotope ratios of G. ruber to reconstruct salinity related to monsoon runoff in this region more precisely than hitherto. The long-term trend indicates that the ISM precipitation has declined since the mid-Holocene similar to the solar activity. On shorter multi-centennial timescale, we show that the ISM precipitation declined concurrently with the recent periods of strong solar minima, but lagged by a couple of hundred years beyond 1300 yr BP toward the mid-Holocene – confirmed statistically using wavelet analysis. This nonstationary phase relationship between the ISM and the solar activity indicates the possible influence of the tropical coupled ocean–atmosphere phenomenon.

    Abstract: The polymicrobial nature of diabetic foot infection is a reflection of the immune compromised state of the host.The methods of microbial identification based on colony morphology and biochemical characteristics have limitations as they may not differentiate the diverse microorganisms that infect foot wounds. The aim of the present study was to find out the bacterial diversity in diabetic foot infections at genetic level by finger printing, that is, ERIC-PCR (enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus -polymerase chain reaction). Nine patients with infected diabetic foot ulcers were recruited to the study. Pus and tissue samples were collected from the wound site. Aerobic bacteria were isolated employing standard microbiological culture methods and their genetic variability was analyzed using the ERIC-PCR. Sensitivity test for these isolates against commonly used antibiotics were performed using disc diffusion method. The standard microbiological culture technique yielded 38 morphotypes of bacteria and their genetic diversity was confirmed by ERIC-PCR assay. Analysis of the similarity index using NTSYSpc 2.1 software revealed 34 types of banding pattern among these isolates. Based on the similarity index these isolates were divided into 7 groups. As many as 8 types of aerobic bacterial isolates were detected from a single patient using the above technique compared with 2 on routine culture analysis. Genetically diverse isolates showed differential sensitivity pattern against commonly used antibiotics in the assay. The observed diversity at genetic level is attributed to variable sensitivity pattern of these isolates against the class of antibiotics. A molecular technique such as ERIC-PCR is a more sensitive detection method than conventional techniques, the potential of which needs to be fully understood.

    In: High Performance Polymers, SAGE Publications, Vol. 27, No. 3 ( 2015-05), p. 274-287
    Abstract: Primary and secondary relaxation behavior of chlorobutyl elastomer nanocomposites have been studied as a function of variation in nanographite loading in the temperature range from −100°C to +100°C and in the frequency range of 100–10 6 Hz respectively. The effect of nanographite loadings on glass transition temperature was marginal for all the composites in the narrow range of −10°C to 10°C. The nonlinearity in tan δ and storage modulus has been explained on the concept of filler–polymer interaction and aggregation of nanographites. The effect of variation in nanographite loadings on the dielectric relaxation such as complex and real parts of impedance was distinctly visible. The electric modulus formalism has been utilized to further investigate the conductivity and relaxation phenomenon. The frequency dependence of electrical conductivity has been investigated using percolation theory. The phenomenon of percolation in the composites has been discussed based on the measured changes in electrical conductivity. The percolation threshold as studied by electrical conductivity occurred in the vicinity of 4–6 phr of nanographite loading. Cole–Cole, Nyquist plots, and Argand diagram confirm the existence of non-Debye/nonlinear relationship. Scanning electron microscopic images show agglomeration of the nanographite and formation of a continuous network structure.

    In: Food and Nutrition Bulletin, SAGE Publications, Vol. 40, No. 3 ( 2019-09), p. 393-408
    Abstract: Maternal spot feeding programs operational in southern Indian States are providing a package of nutrition services (food, micronutrient supplementation, deworming, gestation weight gain monitoring, and fortnightly nutrition health education) to pregnant women. These remain to be evaluated. Objective: We evaluated the maternal spot feeding programs in 2 Southern Indian states. Methods: Study design was cross-sectional entailing primary data collection (July to November 2016) on 360 pregnant and lactating women (of infants aged 0-6 months) per state and a review of the scheme’s management information system (MIS) beneficiaries’ records for the time period April 2014 to August 2017. To gain program functioning insights, open-ended interviews (n = 252) with state, district, and block program managers a state-level open space technology workshop was conducted. Results: Average days of meal consumption ranged from 19 to 21 days per month; spot meal enhanced high dietary diversity (≥6 food groups; 57%-59%) and consumption of eggs and milk (74%-96%) among pregnant and lactating women. On-the-spot consumption of iron, folic acid, calcium, and deworming was 18%, 87%, and 56%, respectively; 94% attended at least 1 of the 2 nutrition monthly counseling sessions. Majority (68%) of the beneficiaries were motivated to enroll by self-help groups or family members, suggesting the crucial persuasive role of peers and family members. Conclusion: Maternal spot feeding schemes can potentially deliver nutrition interventions outlined in the World Health Organization antenatal care guidelines 2016 for a positive pregnancy outcome. Research on schemes’ impact on birth outcomes, maternal depression, social norms, and its cost-effectiveness is needed.

    Interleukin-6 G-174C gene polymorphism and serum resistin levels in North Indian women: Potential risk of metabolic syndrome
    SAGE Publications ; 2011

    In: Human & Experimental Toxicology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 30, No. 10 ( 2011-10), p. 1445-1453
    Abstract: The present investigations were aimed to identify the possible association between genetic polymorphism in interleukin-6 (IL-6) G-174C gene, which confers susceptibility to metabolic syndrome, and serum level of resistin in North Indian women. The study population comprised 370 unrelated Indian women (192 having abdominal obesity and 178 controls). Polymorphism in genotype (CC+GC) of IL-6 G-174C gene was determined using a combination of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence-specific primer with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) technology. Insulin resistance (IR) and serum resistin level were also analyzed along with metabolic risk factors. Of 192 abdominal obese women, 147 (76.56%) were found to have mutant CC+GC ( p = 0.001) genotype and allele frequency ( p = 0.001), which was significantly higher 45 (23.44%) than non-obese and their respective wild type. The mutant genotype (CC+GC) of IL-6 gene was found to be associated significantly with high triglyceride ( p = 0.025) and resistin level ( p 〈 0.001), when compared with respective wild genotype (GG) in obese women. Non-obese women with no signs of metabolic risk factors were found to have significantly low level of serum resistin and IR in comparison to obese women having genetic polymorphism for IL-6 G-174C gene. Study suggests that IL-6 G-174C gene is one among the susceptibility loci for metabolic syndrome in North Indian women. Genotype for this polymorphism may prove informative for prediction of genetic risk for metabolic syndrome. Further, high level of serum resistin molecules may be targeted to correlate with metabolic syndrome risk factors and could be used as early prediction marker.

    In: Science and Technology of Welding and Joining, SAGE Publications, Vol. 12, No. 2 ( 2007-02), p. 127-137
    Abstract: The use of active flux in tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is known to increase its weld depth. The present paper involves study of active flux laser beam welding (ALBW) of austenitic stainless steel sheets with respect to its effect on plasma plume, microstructure and mechanical properties of the resultant weldments. ALBW performed with SiO 2 as the flux significantly modified shape of the fusion zone (FZ) to produce narrower and deeper welds. Plasma plume associated with the process was considerably smaller and of lower intensity than that produced during bead on plate laser beam welding (LBW). Flux addition during LBW produced thin and rough weld bead associated with humping. The development of such a weld bead is cause by reversal in the direction of Marangoni flow by oxygen induced inversion of surface tension gradient, widely fluctuating plasma plume and presence of oxides on the weld pool surface preventing free flow of the melt. Active flux laser weldments exhibited lower ductility than that of bead on plate laser weldments.

    Gender Inequalities in the Dental Workforce: Global Perspectives
    SAGE Publications ; 2019

    In: Advances in Dental Research, SAGE Publications, Vol. 30, No. 3 ( 2019-12), p. 60-68
    Abstract: The aim of this review is to investigate the growth of diversity and inclusion in global academic dental research with a focus on gender equality. A diverse range of research methodologies were used to conduct this review, including an extensive review of the literature, engagement of key informants in dental academic leadership positions around the world, and review of current data from a variety of national and international organizations. Results provide evidence of gender inequalities that currently persist in dental academics and research. Although the gender gap among graduating dental students in North America and the two most populous countries in Europe (the United Kingdom and France) has been narrowed, women make up 30% to 40% of registered dentists in countries throughout Europe, Oceania, Asia, and Africa. In academic dentistry around the globe, greater gender inequality was found to correlate with higher ranking academic and leadership positions in the United States, United Kingdom, several countries in European Union, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. Further disparities are noted in the dental research sector, where women make up 33% of dental researchers in the European Union, 35% in North America, 55% in Brazil, and 25% in Japan. Family and societal pressures, limited access to research funding, and lack of mentoring and leadership training opportunities are reported as also contributing to gender inequalities. To continue advancing gender equality in dental academia and research, efforts should be geared toward the collection and public dissemination of data on gender-specific distributions. Such evidence-driven information will guide the selection of future strategies and best practices for promoting gender equity in the dental workforce, which provides a major pipeline of researchers and scholars for the dental profession.
