This paper makes an attempt to examine the impact of working capital management on corporate performance of selected public sector oil & gas companies in India during the period of 10 years (i.e. from 2000-01 to 2009-10). It also makes an endeavour to measure the degrees of associations between the measure of profitability i.e., ROCE and the selected ratios relating to working capital management of the selected companies under study during the study period. A comparative analysis can be done to adjudge the better performing company and to identify the causes of better performance. An attempt has also been undertaken for measuring the sensitivity of return on capital employed (ROCE) to changes in the level of working capital, working capital leverage (WCL) has been computed and applied. Ultimately the article concludes some valid recommendations these deserve the attention of the management of the concerned companies under study, oil and gas sector in India and especially Government.Keywords

A registered product biozyme is extracted from a Norwegian Sea weed known as Ascophyllum nodosum. It is biodegradable and non-toxic for the plant and soil health as claimed by Biostadt company. Beside biozyme, several other zymes are also available in the market with some prefixes in the name. They claim, the zyme is toxin free, eco-friendly, bio degradable product containing growth hormones, elements, minerals and vitamins. Highly compatible with fertilizers and pesticides, it also increases the resistance of plants against various pests, diseases and climatic stress. These zymes are available in solid and liquid form and are being used as either top dressing or spraying on the crop canopy at important crop growth stages. As per some earlier studies, biozyme have claimed to have beneficial in crop growth both in vegetative part as well as in grain production. Keeping in view of its importance a field trial was formulated and being conducted in research farm of Bihar Agricultural University Bhagalpur (Bihar) to see the impact of Biozyme on the yield and soil microbes.Keywords

The traditional image of Oxytocin as a purely Neurohypophyseal hormone with endocrine actions in parturition and lactation has certainly been challenged in recent years. In the present review, we have discussed it’s other functional roles viz. in sexual response, in different emotional states, in excretory physiology, cardiac function, in autism, in the development of maternal behaviour, and interestingly, it’s involvement in the male reproductive physiology.References
