Managing Complexity of City Growth in India – A Planner’s Dilemma (Draft)
Abstract: Indian cities are experiencing accelerated suburbanization with increasing informality and declining accessibility. To address the inadequacies in prevailing planning practice, the paper explores the applicability of complexity theory based planning principles and adaptive management in the Indian context. Under the suggested paradigm private agents are free to self-organize within a framework based codes to manage negative externalities and interferences between buildings and city elements. Whereas, public agents remain responsible for …

Response of Plants to Drought Stress: A Review
Abstract: Stress tolerance has long been fascinated plant biologists as a challenge to understand the mechanism of plant survival under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Exposure to abiotic stresses such as high salinity, drought, extreme light and temperature of plants results in worldwide major loss in crop productivity. The main cause of crop loss worldwide is abiotic stresses, reducing average yield for most major crop plants by more than 50%. The …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …
