Antimicrobial Properties of Spices by Komal BhadoriaKomal Bhadoria
The antimicrobial activity varies widely, depending on the type of spice or herb, test medium, and microorganism. Spices should not be considered as a primary preservative method. However, the addition of herbs and spices are expected to aid in preserving foods held at refrigeration temperatures, at which the multiplication of microorganisms is slow.

Anti microbial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of roots and leaves...SriramNagarajan19
Murraya koenigii, family Rutaceae, commonly known as Curry leaf plant is a highly valued plant for its medicinal value and characteristic aroma.The plant shows varied pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antifungal,hypoglycemic,antiobese,antipyretic,hepatoprotective etc., The plant is a rich source of carbazole alkaloids containing mahanimbine as a major alkaloidal constituent in its major proportion which was proved by mayer’s alkaloidal test. The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of roots and leaves of the plant were screened for antimicrobial activity for Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.The antimicrobial activity was tested by diffusion assay method in which cup plate method was chosen. The study shows that aqueous and ethanolic root and leaf extracts possess remarkable antimicrobial activity when compared with standard cephalosporin. Thus,Murraya Koenigii shows tremendous antimicrobial activity with root and leaf extracts.

Effect of Herbal plant (Tulsi) against Common Disease in Gold Fish, Carassius...IJLT EMAS
The Herbs (medicinal plants) are widely used by the traditional medical practitioners for curing various diseases in their day-to-day practice. These herbal plants are easily available in our surrounding area. Generally it is found, Gold fishes are frequently effected from microbes, bacterial, fungal, parasite etc. Disease fish were collected from ornamental Fish Farm. Collected fishes were feed with garlic supplemented feed and normal feed. Separately Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum) dust was added to normal feed and prepared feed was applied the aquarium containing disease-affected Gold fishes (Carassius auratus L.). Experimental trial was continued for 8 weeks consecutively to observe the development of immunity against the common pathogens. Result shows that the after treatment fish were healthy and energetic.

A pesticide is a substance that disrupts or kills organisms that we consider to be pests such as weeds, damaging insects, or microbes that cause disease.
Any substance or mixture of substances, intended for preventing, destroying, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant growth regulator, defoliant or desiccant.
Pest- it is any animal, plant or microorganism that trouble, injuries or cause destruction of crop.
Methods of pest control-
They have two types- natural and artificial pest control.
Natural pest control- they are prepared in nature due to prey- predator relationships.
Beneficial insects are those insects which prey on harmful insects or their larvae.
Artificial pest control- these are man mede methods to control pest.
They have following types
In agricultural production the synthetic pesticides are used which has got sometimes carcinogenic, teratogenic and residual toxic effects.
The excessive use of it also causes serious health hazards to live stocks, human life, wild life, fishes, birds and animals.
mechanical- manual or mechanical method for collection or destruction of pest. Eg.handpicking, pruning, trapping, burning for destruction of eggs, larvae, pupae, insects
Agriculture control- these methods are used to destroy life cycle of pest
eg deep ploughing for eradication of weeds, alternate crop rotation, hybrid pest resistance crop species
Chemical control- these are chemicals used to kill pest
eg. insecticides, paraciticides
Biological control- Living organisms are used to control pest.
Eg microorganisms may be used to kill by causing fatal disease in insects
Classification of pesticides
Pesticides are classified according to the pest they control
Insecticides (Ants, moths, cockroaches)
Herbicides (Weeds)
Fungicides (Control fungal diseases)
Rodenticides (Rats)

A review article: a surpass effect of pterocarpus marsupium on peptic ulcer d...SriramNagarajan16
The Pterocarpus marsupium belong to family Fabaceae and is widely distributed in central, western and southern
regions of India. The role of Pterocarpus marsupium as anti-diabetic has been very well established. Its extract has
been prepared using many methods like infusion, maceration, decoction and percolation. Several chemical
constituents like pterostilbene, (-)-epicatechin, pteropines, marsupinol, etc., have been identified and isolated.
Pterocarpus marsupium extract also shows promising results in cataract and hypertriglyceridemia. This plant also
finds its use as cardiotonic and hepatoprotective agent. Studies have also been reported to demonstrate its ability as a
specific COX- 2 inhibitor. The present review explores its description, traditional uses, extraction methods, chemical
constituents, pharmacological activity and commercial significance so that its potential as a multipurpose medicinal

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
