The terminator technology is the main application of a broadly framed pattern for the “control of plant gene expression”. The terminator is a genetically engineered suicide mechanism that can be triggered off by a specific outside stimulus. As a result, the seeds of the next generation will self-destruct by self-poisoning. Terminator technology is the Trojan horse for the spread of generality-Engineered crops in the south. The most alarming is the terminator genes themselves could infect the agricultural gene pool of the neighbour’s crops and of wild and weedy relatives.

Modern hospitals slowly have left their main purpose as public service facility and have moved to business orientation.

However, the impact of marketing mix particularly on patient loyalty to hospital, whether directly or mediated by hospital brand image, was still under observed.

After stroke, hand impairment is very common and its recovery is often incomplete. Early neuroplastic changes may form the basis for restitution of motor function after stroke. Neuroplasticity starts from day one immediately after injury or insult to cortex. Mental practice being one of the principles of motor learning can accelerate neuroplastic changes. Thus to compare the efficacy of mental practice and physical practice over only physical practice on hand function in individuals with stroke, this study was conducted. Methodology: 50 stroke patients divided into two groups i.e.

The evolution and development of indigenous management theories in Africa have been tremendously affected by Colonialism.

The development of information technology offers many innovative methods that promote the development of educational technologies. Smart students use these technologies for their own purposes. Visiting classes, from the point of view of students, can easily be replaced using remote computer technology. However, experience shows that the presence in the class is a positive factor for improving the quality of the learning material.

In the 1980's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) was virtually unheard of in India. A diagnosis of ASD in India was rare, and there was little information available. The majority of children with ASD routinely received a diagnosis of mental retardation. Others were diagnosed as having ‘Minimal Brain Dysfunction’, were called slow learners or deemed to have behaviour problems. The prevalence rate of ASD is approximately 1 in 500 or 0.20% or more than 2,160,000 people in India. The incidence rate of ASD is approximately 1 in 90,666 or 11,914 people in India.
