Mottling is the uneven appearance of print, particularly in solid areas, small dark and light areas appearing in the surface of paper or paper board. Print mottle is influenced by many parameters, but the most important one is the type of paper which is used for printing. Variations in the surface characteristics such as absorption and smoothness play an important role while analysis of the mottle. Print mottle can occur in sheet-fed offset due to several reasons related to both the paper and its coating and the printing press. The aim of the research work was to improve our knowledge of the influence on mottle related to the different paper surfaces (both coated and un-coated paper) in single colour sheet fed offset press. Both the coated and un-coated papers were used with different gram mage for printing with the help of a specially designed test form. The results from the print trials show that fountain solution from the previous printing unit can cause a decreased print density and dot gain. The structure of the paper coating, uneven porosity distribution has high influence oil water induced mottle while the effect of the surface chemistry is low.Keywords

The present study was designed to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of "Trichilia connaroides" bark using different animal models. Analgesic activity was evaluated by using various two animal models namely, Writing Test using acetic acid in mice and Hot Plate Method. The degree of analgesic activity was determined by the number of wriths was recorded for each animal in Writing Test using acetic acid in mice model and the delay in reaction time for of each animal when place in hot plate maintained at 55±0.10c is recorded in Hot Plate Method. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using Formalin induced paw edema model, Croton oil ear edema in rats. Trichilia connaroides bark ethanolic extracts produced significant analgesic activity in both Hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing models in mice. In hot plate method percentage increase in reaction time was determined where as in acetic acid induced writhing model percentage decrease in writhings was determined. Evaluation of anti inflammatory activity was done by Formalin induced paw edema model, Croton oil ear edema model. In Formalin induced paw edema model mean change in paw volume and percentage protection were calculated. In croton oil ear edema model the difference between untreated ear and treated ear were determined which indicated degree of inflammatory edema. The study revealed that the "Trichilia connaroides" bark possess a significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.Keywords

The present study was designed to evaluate the antidepressant and anti-inflammatory activity of "Curcuma aromatica" oil and "Curcuma aromatica" extract using different animal models. Antidepressant activity was evaluated by using various animal models. The degree of antidepressant activity was determined by measuring the immobility time in forced swim test and tail suspension tests. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using Carrageenan induced paw edema model. Animals treated with all three doses of CAO (250,500 and 750mg/kg) witnessed a decrease in their immobility times in FST and TST which was significant when compared with control. Similarly, animals treated with Imipramine (15mg/kg), as expected showed a significant decrease in the immobility time.
Carrageenan induced paw edema model was employed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of "Curcuma aromatica". Carrageenan induced paw edema model uses change in paw volume of control, test, and standard respectively to find out percentage inhibition of edema .The study revealed that the "Curcuma aromatica" rhizome oil possess a significant antidepressant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Aim: The present study was designed to evaluate the anti depressant activity of a Poly herbal formulation "PERMENT" in experimental animal models.
Method: Anti depressant activity was evaluated in experimental different either sex animal models. The degree of anti depressant activity was determined by measuring the immobility time in Forced swim test and Tail suspension test, by counting the number of failure to escape and number of avoidance response in Learned helplessness test, Reserpine induced test the rectal temperature is determined and the number of passages of rodents through the hole from one chamber to another in Hole cross as a confirmatory test.
Result: Animals treated with all three doses of PERMENT (53.85, 102.77 and 154.16mg/kg) witnessed a decrease in their immobility times in FST and TST which was significant when compared with control. Similarly, animals treated with Imipramine (15mg/kg), as expected showed a significant decrease in the immobility time. In learned Helplessness Test, the PERMENT treated rats showed significant increase in avoidance response and decreased in escape failure in response to shock treatment. In Reserpine Induced Test the initial rectal temperature is determined by electronic thermometer. Hole cross test utilizes the number of passages of rodents through the hole from one chamber to another.
Conclusion: The study revealed that the "PERMENT" possess a significant anti depressant activity.

The present study was designed to evaluate the antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of whole plant of "Inula racemosa" using different animal models. Antidiabetic activity was evaluated by using various two animal models. The alloxan induced diabetes method and streptozocin induced diabetes method along with biochemical parameters like SALP, SGPT, SGOT, Triglycerides, Total proteins were employed to investigate antidiabetic potential of Inula racemosa. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using formalin induced paw edema model and croton oil ear edema model. Carrageenan induced paw edema model uses change in paw volume of control, test, and standard respectively to find out percentage inhibition of edema. The study revealed that the whole plant of "Inula racemosa" possess a significant anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activity.Keywords

In the recent past, a steep increase in the frequency and intensity of flash floods in urban regions has resulted in significant damage to life and property, necessitating a holistic approach to address the problem. An integrated urban flood model for Bengaluru city, Karnataka, India has been developed with a modular approach, which includes real-time rainfall and weather monitoring, and a rainfall forecast system feeding into a comprehensive hydrologic flood model. An output management and information dissemination channel for timely disaster preparedness and response is integrated in the framework, with active involvement of the government. The framework and outcomes of the system are summarized and presented here.Keywords
