Forest Rights Act (2006)
The Forest Rights Act, India or the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act is also known by other names like the Tribal Rights Act or the Tribal Land Act.
It deals with the rights of the communities that dwell in the forests (including Scheduled Tribes), over land and other resources, which have been denied to them over the years because of the continuation of forest laws from the colonial era in the country.
The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 is a result of the protracted struggle by the marginal and tribal communities of our country to assert their rights over the forestland over which they were traditionally dependent.
It is the transmission of genes that occur outside the nucleus. It is found in most eukaryotes and is commonly known to occur in cytoplasmic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts or from cellular parasites like viruses or bacteria.
Mitochondria are organelles which function to produce energy as a result of cellular respiration. Chloroplasts are organelles which function to produce sugars via photosynthesis in plants and algae. The genes located in mitochondria and chloroplasts are very important for proper cellular function, yet the genomes replicate independently of the DNA located in the nucleus, which is typically arranged in chromosomes that only replicate one time preceding cellular division

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), formerly called World Conservation Union, network of environmental organizations founded as the International Union for the Protection of Nature in October 1948 in Fontainebleau, France, to promote nature conservation and the ecologically sustainable use of natural resources. The IUCN’s membership includes more than 1,000 governmental and nongovernmental organizations from more than 140 countries. It is governed by a democratically elected council, which is chosen by member organizations at each World Conservation Congress.
The S-W algorithm performs in local sequence alignment for determining two similar regions between two strings nucleotide sequences or protein sequence.
Instead of looking for entire sequence, S-W algorithm compares sequence of all possible lengths and optimizes similarity length.
Mushrooms are fast growing basidiomycetous fungi which produce fleshy fruit bodies.
These fungi live as saprophytes in dead organic matter in the form of the mat of interwined hyphae.
Remote sensing is the observation of an object from a distance.
It is the art of identifying, observing and measuring an object without coming into direct contact with it by detecting and measuring the radiation of different wavelengths reflected from distant objects.
An exotic is a plant that is not native to the region. Exotic is strictly defined as “An introduction from a foreign country”. Exotic is one which is grown outside the limits of its natural range.
SOME SUCCESSFUL EXOTICS IN INDIA:
Casuarina, Eucalyptus, Poplars, Silver Oak, Wattles, Tropical pines etc.
Forest stands established by planting or/and seeding in the process of afforestation or reforestation. They are either of introduced species (all planted stands), or intensively managed stands of indigenous species, which meet all the following criteria: one or two species at planting, even age class, regular spacing.
Two-component regulatory systems are a basic stimulus-response mechanism that allow organisms to sense and respond to environmental conditions. They typically consist of a membrane-bound histidine kinase that senses stimuli and a response regulator that mediates the cellular response through gene expression. Two-component systems are widespread in prokaryotes but relatively rare in eukaryotes. Signal transduction occurs through phosphorylation cascades between the histidine kinase and response regulator. These systems enable bacteria to adapt to various environments, stresses, and growth conditions.
The Golgi complex, also known as the Golgi apparatus, was discovered in 1898 by Italian physician Camillo Golgi. It is visible under both light and electron microscopes. The Golgi complex consists of stacked flattened sacs called cisternae that modify and package proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell. It has a cis-facing side for receiving vesicles and a trans-facing side for releasing them. The Golgi complex is involved in secretion, synthesis, modification, and cell-specific functions through enzymes located in its different cisternae. It is present in all eukaryotic cells.
Cadherins are a large family of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules that mediate cell-cell adhesion and play critical roles in morphogenesis, cell sorting, and tissue formation. They interact with the cytoskeleton and different cadherins are expressed in different adult and embryonic tissues. Integrins are heterodimeric cell adhesion molecules that bind cells to the extracellular matrix and mediate cell migration. They are involved in development and require divalent cations for ligand binding. Selectins are immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecules that control leukocyte migration during inflammation by mediating interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells. L-selectin also mediates the initial adhesion of human embryos to the uterine lining.
This document discusses phylogenetic analysis, which involves determining the evolutionary relationships between related nucleic acid or protein sequences. Phylogenetic analysis depicts these relationships using tree diagrams, with more closely related sequences located as neighboring branches joined to a common inner branch. The analysis aims to discover all branching relationships in the tree to study how sequences have evolved over time. Phylogenetic analysis is useful for identifying closely related genes and predicting potential equivalent functions, as well as tracking changes in rapidly evolving species like viruses.
This document discusses various types of intellectual property rights (IPR) in India including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and geographical indications. Patents provide exclusive rights over inventions for 20 years and must satisfy criteria of novelty, creativity, and utility. Copyrights protect original creative works for 60 years. Trademarks identify products/services and can be renewed every 10 years. Geographical indications (GIs) identify products originating from specific regions. India's IPR framework complies with international treaties and provides statutory protection for these intellectual property types.
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are statistical models that can be used to model systems with hidden states. HMMs assume the system is a Markov process where the probability of each state depends only on the previous state. HMMs have applications in DNA sequence analysis, protein family profiling, prediction of DNA functional sites, prediction of genes, and digital communications. Popular HMM-based tools include GENSCAN, GENMARK, and HMMgene. Both structural and functional annotation of genomes is important. Structural annotation identifies genomic elements like open reading frames and gene structure, while functional annotation attaches biological information like biochemical function. Functional annotation is important to understand large lists of genes/proteins. Gene ontology annotation is commonly used for
Gene pyramiding is a plant breeding technique that uses molecular markers to select plants with multiple pest-resistance and yield-enhancing genes through iterative hybridization. It aims to enhance trait performance, remedy genetic deficits, and increase durability against pests. Strategies for gene stacking include iterative hybridization between plants containing different transgenes, re-transformation of a plant with additional transgenes, and co-transformation of a plant with multiple transgenes simultaneously. Gene pyramiding is an important strategy for improving germplasm and developing durable pest resistance using multiple genes.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. Introduction
• Biomass is biomaterial
from living or recently
living organisms such as
timber, agriculture wastes
and animal manure.
• There are several ways
can get useful renewable
energy from biomass
other than burning it
directly.
3.
4. • The gasification process turns wet biomass,
such as food waste and manure, into methane
(CH4) in a digestion tank. Both methane and
synthesis gas (syngas) can be used in a gas
engine or a gas turbine for electricity
production.
5. • A third way to produce electricity from
gasified biomass is by using fuel cells. If we
have biogas/bio-syngas with high enough
purity we can use fuel cells to produce bio-
electricity. The fuel cells breaks down quickly
if the gas in any way contains impurities. This
technology is not yet commercial.
• Biofuels, like ethanol, biodiesel and bio-oil can
be also be used for power production in most
types of power generators built for gasoline or
diesel.
6. • Most biopower plants use direct-fired
combustion systems. They burn biomass
directly to produce high-pressure steam that
drives a turbine generator to make electricity.
• In some biomass industries, the extracted or
spent steam from the power plant is also used
for manufacturing processes or to heat
buildings.
7. • How Does It Work?
• In a direct combustion system, biomass is
burned in a combustor or furnace to generate
hot gas, which is fed into a boiler to generate
steam, which is expanded through a steam
turbine or steam engine to produce
mechanical or electrical energy.
