This study was conducted to explore the role of long term memory activation in working memory school students. A sample of 248 (133 male and 115 female) students of 11th and 12th grade was tested on Operation Span and Reading Span tasks of working and Fan manipulation task for LTM activation. Results of correlational analysis indicated that operation span measure of working memory correlated significantly with LTM activation (r=.37) and LTM scanning speed (r=.43). Operation Span measures of working memory has been found significantly correlated with LTM activation and LTM scanning speed to the degree of .42 and .44, respectively. However, none of the measures of working memory has shown significant correlation with LTM acquisition time. The significant correlations between working memory and LTM activation suggest that the activation of LTM helps to considerable degree in working memory. The finding has important implication for the theory of working memory.Keywords

The present study was conducted to understand the nature of relationship between working memory and fluid-crystallized intelligence. A sample of 250 (135 male and 115 female) students of 11th and 12th grade was tested on Operation Span and Reading Span tasks of working, Culture Fair Intelligence Test, and Hundal General Mental Ability Test. Results of correlational analysis indicated that all the measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence correlated significantly with Operation Span and Reading Span measures of working memory. The overall score of Culture Fair Intelligence Test correlated .43 and .35 with Operation Span and Reading Span, respectively. Scores on all the seven subtests of HGMAT have also shown significant positive correlation with the measures of working memory. Total HGMAT score correlated .40 and .44 with Operation Span and Reading Span, respectively. Structural analysis provided three distinct factors which were interpreted as crystallized intelligence, fluid intelligence, and working memory.Keywords

Cicer arietinum L. is a most significant crop which grown and consumed over the entire world, mostly in Asian countries. Chickpea is also trendy in the Ethiopian high ground and South America. The production of chickpea throughout the last three decades has been static in most countries and in some it has even decreased. The two types of chickpea i.e. desi and the kabuli are botanically parallel, but there are strong user preferences for one or the other. Chickpea is a rich source of some vitamins such as riboflavin, thiamin, folate and niacin. This crop may contain anti-nutritional compounds that can spoil consumption of the nutrients by people. The plan of this review is to summarize the nutritional value of chickpea and effect of nitrogen nutrition on chickpea which can be supplemented to plants as nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4) or combination of both (NH4NO3).Keywords

Over the last few decades, the use of molecular markers has played very important role in rice breeding and genetics. Rice bean is a multipurpose, less utilized crop accepted to be tamed in the Myanmar-Thailand locale of Asia. It is believed to be a potential nutritive fodder legume. Among various types of molecular markers, microsatellites (SSRs) have been widely in used due to several advantages over other markers. These markers are appropriated all through the genome, high number of allelic variety at every locus, incredibly polymorphic just as being species-explicit and co-predominant; they have become an ever increasing number of critical hereditary markers in rice reproducing programmes. In spite of the fact that there has been next to no exploration or exceptionally less distributed writing on rice bean with respect to its genetic diversity, the aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge concerning the linkage of microsatellite markers to rice bean which is regarded as minor food and is mainly grown for human consumption, though it is additionally utilized for roughage and green manure. Rice bean has an ability to give balance diet to the domesticated animals and to continue under wide scope of climatic condition in any case, more spotlight is required on this harvest for greater prominence as a potential vegetable yield.Keywords
