The Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary serves as a vital wintering ground and key stopover for the Central Asian Flyway, providing essential habitats for numerous migratory bird species. Fortnightly field surveys for 2 years were conducted periodically from October 2022 to September 2024, employing line-cum-point transect counts across four transects of the study area. A total of 62 winter migrant avian species from 10 orders, 26 families, and 42 genera were recorded.

It is anticipated that wide-bandgap semiconductors (WBGSs) would be useful materials for energy production and storage. A well-synthesized, yet scarcely explored, diamond-like quaternary semiconductor LiZnGeS has been considered for this work. Herein, we have employed two well-known functionals GGA and mGGA within a framework of density functional theory (DFT).

Thiamine diphosphate (TPP) is essential cofactor in H37Rv metabolism, making its biosynthesis pathway a key target for therapy. Therefore, it is of interest to describe a Petri net-based model of the TPP biosynthesis super-pathway, developed using curated MetaCyc data and simulated with Snoopy software. The model integrates three biosynthetic branches and maps key enzymes (ThiC, ThiD, ThiE, ThiF, ThiG, ThiS) along with their gene identifiers.
