  Abstract
  Seasons are in general termed by the rainfall and temperature patterns expected during different times of the year. The season varies greatly depending on our geographic location, however lakes and ponds commonly respond in similar ways to the same ecological inputs. Hence, seasonal variations of physico-chemical analysis of lake water is of prime importance to indicate the pollution loads or inputs from different angles either natural or manmade. To bear out the objective of the assessment of Annual and Seasonal variation of Water quality, a total of 7 lakes were selected for sampling in the peri-urban area of Vrishabhavathi river basin in Byramangala series of Bengaluru Urban area. Sampling and analysis was carried out for 3 years from January 2012 to February 2015. Sampling points were carefully chosen in order to assess the general characteristics of lake water quality by following standard method APHA, 2012 procedures and Global Environmental Monitoring system GEMS, 1992 guidelines. The Variation trend reveled that, nitrate values of all the lakes during study period are changing drastically with the seasons and are due to manmade intrusions with rapid developments within and around the peri-urban lakes the concentrations. The variations of phosphates are also alarming too for the detoriation of peri-urban lakes. The influence of development activities in the peri-urban area are the causal of drastic variations in lakes and are to be monitored by the government authorities by imposing stringent guidelines.

  Abstract
  The present study was carried out with the objective of determining the extent of groundwater pollution caused by industrial activity in Balotra, Barmer district Rajasthan which is located at the bank of Luni river. Groundwater Samples were collected from twenty different places, nearby area of Luni River and analysed for the physicochemical parameter and all results were compared with Indian standard specification for Ground water. In the present study twenty water samples are collected from different sites and analytical result are compare with BIS Specification and our results are clearly shows that the ground water is highly contaminated due to industrial activity.in many physicochemical parameter are behind the permissible limit. Contamination of groundwater causes water scarcity for domestic purpose of this study is to highlight the impact of industrial activity on groundwater.

  Abstract
  Fatty acids composition of the siris is the very useful from the pharmacology as well as commercially point of view. Before that no attempts was done for the analysis of the fatty acids of the siris seeds. Fatty acids are very good for the several kinds of the medicines and the treatment of the diseases. They are the sources of the several famous oil sources like the sarson, sesame, palm oil. In this work, the fatty acid profile of the oils of A lebbeck (L.) Benth. are worked out. The result showed that A. lebbeck (L.) Benth. oil contained the highest percentage of Lenoleic acid and after oleic acid. A. lebbeck oil has about 25.157% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), it has about 52.235% polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and it has about 22.608% saturated fatty acid (SFA) in packed column compared to capillary column 22.794% SFA, 25.711% MUFA and 51.495% PUFA.

  Abstract
  Albizia amara is traditional and ethno medicinal plant for medicine. The presence of phyto-constituents in plant acts as resource for the treatment of several endemic diseases such as anti-cancer, anti-hyperlipidimic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic and antioxidant activities. The aim of the present study is to quantify the secondary components.. Phytochemical screening of Albizia amara was done using organic solvents such aqueous, ethanol, chloroform and benzene extracts of Albizia amara leaves. The study revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, carbohydrates, phenols, quinines, betacyanins, saponins, tannins, oils and lipids in Albizia amara leaf extract.

  Abstract
  Considering the importance of the effect of social media on the participation of public Sphere in various social movements or events, especially those related to protests, it is necessary to study in-depth the role of social media in political mobilization. Social media is a widespread communication platform. Social media certainly plays a significant role in social connectivity and political engagements. This study provides a brief overview of current research in this area with the special context to recent Bollywood controversy. The present paper is all about the recent controversy on Bollywood movie Padmavaat, in which many communal groups came to protest and claim that, the movie has distorted the historical facts and misrepresented before the audience. Some political parties also supported the ban and protest. Thus, the present study is a case study on the role of social media in managing political protest with special reference to Padmavaat Movie controversy. The methodology adopted in this study is both primary and secondary.

  Abstract
  This study presents data on the growth characteristics of two important shrimps Macrobrachium macrobrachion and Macrobrachium vollenhovenii found in Forcados river estuary in Niger delta Nigeria. The parameters ‘a’ and ‘b’ of the length-weight relationship of M. macrobrachion were 0.97 and 2.15 for immature, 1.99 and 2.68 for female and 1.30 and 2.52 for male respectively while that of M. Vollenhovenii were 1.93 and 0.88 for immature, 1.91 and 0.86 for female and 1.07 and 0.712 for male respectively. Growth exhibited a negative allometric growth pattern for both species. The condition factor k was 9.83, 0.702 and 0.699 for immature, male and female respectively. The length-weight relationship parameters of M. macrobrachion and M.

  Abstract
  Over the past few years, human kind have been diagnosed with lot of infections and disorders. But the availability of effective allopathic drug in market are less. In this scenario, using plant extracts the immune system is supported to fight against infections based on the knowledge in the Ayurveda and siddha practices. One of the phytochemical enriched herb available in India is Mollugo cerviana (commonly known as thread stem carpet weed). This plant is commonly used to treat fever, stomach ache, jaundice, gout and rheumatism. It is also used to promote vaginal discharge after child birth. The plant shows antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and spermicidal activity. In excess, the plant has hepatoprotective efficiency and photo-protective capacity due to the presence of phytochemicals like carbohydrates, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, proteins and alkaloids. In short, the plant extract has most of the medicinal applications. This review is a collection of useful researches on Mollugo cerviana and their bioactivities.

  Abstract
  Jamming attacks are a subset of denial of service (DoS) attacks in which malicious nodes block legitimate communication by causing intentional interference in networks. Jamming represents the most serious security threat in the field. Security abides a tremendous key requirement in the context of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT connects multiple objects together through wired and wireless connections in the aim of enabling ubiquitous interaction where any components can communicate with each other without any constraint. One of the most important elements in the IoT concept is IOT. In this survey paper of all the security issues in the field of IoT along with the analysis of the various architecture of IoT. The study defines various security actions, its requirements and the challenges that come along with the implementation of IoT. Finally, a number of techniques and problem future work is presented to enhance IoT security (Privacy, Lightweight crypto, etc.).
