Objective Life Science MCQ's for Life Science Examination

Kailash Choudhary, R.P. Saran & Ramesh Raliya

CSIR, DBT, ICAR, ICMR, ASRB, IARI, SET & NET

The idea of the book entitled “Objective Life Science: MCQs for Life Science Examination” was born because of the lack of any comprehensive book covering all the aspects of various entry level life science competitive examinations in particular conducted by CSIR, DBT, ICAR, ICMR, ASRB, IARI, State and National Eligibility Test, but not limited to.

This book, covers all the subjects of life science under 13 section namely, 1. Molecules and their interaction relevant to biology; 2. Cellular organization; 3. Fundamental processes; 4. Cell communication and cell signaling; 5. Developmental biology; 6. System physiology – Plant; 7. System

physiology – Animal; 8. Inheritance biology; 9. Diversity of life forms; 10. Ecological principles; 11. Evolution and behavior; 12. Applied biology and 13. Methods in biology. Each Section has been further divided into two parts with 200 short tricky questions and 100 applied conceptual questions. Additional previous years solved question papers of the CSIR-UGC NET are also included to get acquainted with India's most competitive entry level exam upto June, 2016. The ultimate purpose of this book is to equip the reader with brainstorming challenges and solution for life science and applied aspect examinations. It contains predigested information on all the academic subject of life science for good understanding, assimilation, self-evaluation, and reproducibility.

Key to Success in Agriculture: ObjectiveMCQ's for JRF, SRF, NET & Other Competitive Exams

B.N. Kalsariya & P.R. KananiGeneration of new technology and its effective transfer to those who need them is highly important in order to satisfy the changing needs all over world. Agricultural Education in its broadest sense covers all man's endeavours in the acquisition, transmission and absorption of knowledge of the better means and understanding of the processes which lead to the scientific and better farming and cover all the basic needs of the human beings, i.e., food, clothing and shelter. Accepting the scarcity of available literature on the competitive examinations, to satisfy the need of the students, Department of Agricul-tural Extension, college of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh took initiative to publish this objective book for wider use. It is anticipated that this book will be helpful to the students, teachers of the agricultural universities and professional workers in the field. This book

provides all most all different aspects of agriculture discipline included in the various Agricultural Universities Syllabi. If it becomes useful even to a few students, who will pass JRF, SRF and PG entrance examinations.

Agriculture is a broad subject. After passing graduation, higher degrees are done in specialized field of Agriculture so there is no need to read all Agriculture subjects in M. Sc. and Ph. D. But for the preparation of various agriculture competition examinations students have to read all the basic books of Agriculture to cover syllabus. That time most of students don’t have all the necessary books and too much time to read them.Therefore, to overcome these problems we write this book through reading various books and other sources of Agriculture to cover brief and best information of subjects (Agronomy, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Agricultural Microbiology, Physiology,

Agricultural Entomology, Plant Pathology, Horticulture, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension And Agricultural Statistics) in one book. The students will treat this book as a competitive book not a text book for various degree courses.

The competitive examinations have become procedure of recruitment and admission for higher studies such as JRF, SRF, NET, ARS, SAU's M.Sc. & Ph. D. entrance examinations. All these examinations are mostly based on objective type questions and students always look for study material that is ready to use and easy to grasp. Thus, one has to prepare him /her very strongly for these competitive exams and for the success there is a need to read authentic and authorised reading materials. It was long felt need of the aspirants that there should be a vast collection of recent information and data related to Vegetable Crops in a single book. Keeping this in mind the manuscript has been prepared. Humble efforts have been made here to compile basic and applied knowledge of these crops, which will be of immense value and help for all those who want to pursue career in this field. This book is a single compendium which deals with all aspects and facts of

Vegetable Crops which may meet the requirements of all those who are preparing for JRF, SRF, NET, Ph.D., ARS, and other competitive examinations. The book has been compiled on the basis of available information for guidance and not for legal purposes.

The book, “OBJECTIVE ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY” is a complete package for the aspirants for ICAR (NET), JRF, SRF, ARS and Civil Service Examination in the subject category of Animal Physiology. This book constitutes more than one thousand four hundred questions that pool the whole animal physiology in one platform. It covers all the sub disciplines like behavior, climatology, growth, lactation, circulatory system, endocrinology, reproduction, digestion, excretion, respiration etc. This book definitely enhance the confidence of students by building more clarity about the subject. This is our initial approach and we believe that with increase in our experience this book will encompass more and more questions of Animal Physiology and emerge out as an encyclopedia in this

subject. This book has been divided in to nine chapters so that a reader can proceed step by step. Examination oriented questions and their accuracy enhances the quality of the book. This book will act as a mentor for the students who want to find themselves in eligibility list for teaching and research.

First Responder's Manual of Prehospital Trauma Care will be an easy to use education tool for all the conscientious citizens willing to serve fellow citizens, in an adverse scenario, of trauma and emergency. Its target audience is firemen, safety officers, policemen, teachers, nurses, drivers, emergency room staffs, medical students, nursing students, surgery residents and surgeons. This manual contributors have stressed the issues related to trauma are describe in a simple, easy to understand language. It is an simple but descriptive resource for layperson first responders describing practical advice on the best care.

The focus of the manual is to educate the best standard of care in the prehospital setting in addition learn methods of improvisation. We have stressed on common trauma related issues in critical care

through chapters on shock, airway and circulation.
