Panangad, Kochi, Kerala, INDIA<#LINE#>19/11/2014<#LINE#>1/12/2014<#LINE#>Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the world and Tilapia is a major species contributing to the freshwater aquaculture production. Further expansion of aquaculture demands an adequate supply of efficient, nutritious and inexpensive fish feed because feed contributes significantly to the cost and efficiency of fish production. It is estimated that feed costs can account for up to 70% of the total operating cost in aquaculture. Fish nutritionists all over the world are trying to develop cost effective feeds without compromising on the efficacy towards claiming better production levels thus by increasing the profitability. It is a fact that waste generation is a major problem in the vegetable production and marketing sector. The volume of wastes generated and its resultant environmental impacts necessitate the need of utilizing these wastes effectively. Developing cost effective fish feeds from the vegetable wastes have great relevance at present. The current study aims at the utilization of vegetable wastes in the feeds for Nile tilapia, which is a popular species in freshwater aquaculture. The possibility of incorporating vegetable waste in the fish feed was tried through an indoor study in the species comparing the test diets against the fish meal based and clam meal based control feeds. The experimental diet was formulated keeping the overall protein content at 30%. Feeding was done @5% of the body weight per day. Proximate composition of vegetable waste, test diet and the carcass was recorded during the study. FCR, FCE, SGR and % survival were also recorded. Most important water quality parameters were checked on a daily basis and the other factors were analyzed fortnightly. There was significant reduction (P0.05level) in the weight and length attained by the fish fed with the test diet during the experimental period of 90 days. Organoletptic quality of the raw fish and boiled fish after the rearing period was assessed using Hedonic Scale Scoring method. The results of the study indicate that there is a possibility of incorporating vegetable wastes in the Tilapia-feed though it does not perform as good as the other expensive feeds with fish meal and clam meal. But while considering the cost factor, the inclusion of vegetable waste has real sense. More nutritional studies are warranted in this line especially using other herbivorous fishes like Indian Major Carps towards attaining concordant results. <#LINE#> @ @ Fitzsimmons K.R.

They are common soil-dwelling aerotactic gram-negative proteobacteria with the unique ability to utilize exotic carbon sources for energy. Some members of the genus Pseudomonas are able to metabolize chemical pollutants in the environment, and as a result can be used for bioremediation. Therefore, characterization of various species of Pseudomonas is of significant importance. In the present study four isolates HMR1, HMR4, HMR7 and HMR16 were characterized on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics aided with Probabilistic identification of bacteria (PIB) software. For the isolates, HMR1 and HMR16 identification threshold reached to 1.0 and for the isolates, HMR4 and HMR7 identification threshold reached to 0.98906. Isolate HMR1 and HMR16 were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and isolate HMR4 and HMR7 were identified as Pseudomonas putida. <#LINE#> @ @ Shoreit A. and Soltan E., Fluorescent and non-fluorescent Pseudomonas species from Sohag Governorate (Upper Egypt), Bull.

Relative water supply (RWS), irrigation supply (RIS) and water delivery capacity (WDC), related to water supply from the system with crop water demand and financial self sufficiency (FSS) related with collection of fees from water users in the command area. In this study, the performance indicators in Kalwande Minor Irrigation Scheme were determined for year 2013-14; the results were discussed and evaluated. The analysis of agricultural performance indicators showed that the production value of different crops grown in command area were lower than that of the recommended package of practices. The analysis of water use indicators showed that RWS and RIS were calculated as 2.49 and 1.27 respectively indicating the condition of water abundance. The value RWS and RIS was more than one represents that the total water supply is enough to meet the crop demand. The WDC for whole Kalwande command was calculated as 7.1 represents the canal capacity was sufficient to meet the peak consumptive requirement. The analysis of economic or financial indicators showed that the scheme had a serious problem about the collection of water fees i.e. revenue or irrigation charges collected from scheme were less than that of total operation and maintenance expenditures. <#LINE#> @ @ Molden D.J., Sakthivadivel R. and Christopher J.P., Charlotte de Fraiture and Kloezen W.H.

One hundred and eighty fish were divided into 6 groups (represented by O, A, B, C, D and E) were fed for 56 days with varying sub-lethal concentrations of A. indica saponins (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 g/kg with 0.0 g/kg as the control) incorporated into basal diet. The withdrawal effect of A. indica saponins was also investigated after 28 days of feeding all the fish with the control diet. Liver were sectioned into 6 µm using standard procedure for tissue sectioning. Fish fed varying concentrations varying concentrations of A. indica saponins, gradual increase in rodlet cells around the vein, dilation of the veins and thickening of the hepatocytes were observed in the liver, as the concentrations increase from 0.5 to 8.0 g/kg with. Withdrawal effects shows gradual decrease in the rodlet cells, gradual splitting of each vein into two and slight distortion in the wall of the vein were also observed. The changes observed in the vein as a result of withdrawal of A. indica saponins could be processes towards reverting to the normal shape. This study infers that, withdrawal of A. indica saponins may gradually reverse the effects on fish especially at lower concentrations. <#LINE#> @ @ Riguera R., Isolating bioactive compounds from marine organisms, Journal of Marine Biotechnology 5, 187-193 (1997) @No $ @ @ Francisa G., Harinder P.S.M. and Beckera K., Quillajasaponins-A natural  growth promoter for fish, Animal Feed Science and Technology,121(1), 147-159 (2005) @No $ @ @ Lutterodt G.D. and Maleque A., Inhibition of microlax-induced experimental diarrhoea with narcotic-like extracts of Psidium guajava leafs in rats, Journal of Ethnopharmacology,37(2), 151-157 (1992) @No $ @ @ Obaroh I.O., Nzeh G.C. and Oguntoye S.O., Control of Reproduction in Oreochromis niloticus (L) Using Crude Extract of Azadirachta indica Saponin, Advances in Environmental Biology, 6(4), 1353-1356 (2012) @No $ @ @ Obaroh I.O., Nzeh G.C., Oguntoye S.O. and Bawa D.Y., Growth Response of Oreochromis niloticus (L) fed Crude Extract of Azadirachta indica Saponins.

Panangad, Kochi, Kerala, INDIA<#LINE#>1/11/2014<#LINE#>15/1/2015<#LINE#>Ornamental fish keeping has been emerged as an important branch of aquaculture since a few decades with a trade value of more than 8 billion US$ per annum and supports millions of people for their livelihood. Along with other factors like shape, graceful movement, beauty etc., vivid colouration also helps to augment the market demand of the ornamental fishes. In general, the maintenance in captive conditions causes colour-fading in fishes which leads to lesser consumer acceptance and lower price levels. To overcome the problem, an attempt was made in Sword tail, Xiphophorus helleri-a much sought after freshwater aquarium fish-to assess the potential of two pigments derived from local plants viz. Marigold and Ixora (treatments M and I) through dietary incorporation. The growth of the fish assessed simultaneously. The experiment was conducted in the larvae of Sword tail for a period of 90 days.  Ninety larvae were randomly exposed to two treatments in triplicates (10 fish per tank). A control was also maintained during the study in which the fishes were fed with a commercial feed. The carotenoid pigment sources were incorporated in the supplementary diets at 5% level of inclusion. Maximum growth was observed in treatment-M followed by treatment-I. Significant difference (p0.05) was observed in the intensity of colouration between the fishes exposed to natural pigments and the control group which could be clearly visible through the naked eye-examination.It was further confirmed by the Spectrophotometer analysis. So, it can be inferred that the dietary incorporation of natural pigments have varying levels of impact on the colouration of Xiphophorushelleri while maintained in captivity. The experiment throws light on the possibility of utilizing other pigment sources for dietary incorporation towards augmenting the colouration in fishes. Developing region and species specific feeds utilizing various types of local ingredients have great potential in the contemporary feed research in the world. <#LINE#> @ @ Santhanam R., Sukumaran N. and Natarajan P., A manual of freshwater Aquaculture, Fisheries College, TNVASU, Tuticorin, 102-120 (1990) @No $ @ @ Saxena A., Health colouration of fish.

Among the alternative energy sources, biodiesel attracts considerable attention as it is renewable, non toxic, biodegradable and environmental friendly. Biodiesel is produced from different vegetable oils by transesterification method with alcohol in the presence of catalyst but Jatropha Curcas oil is supposed to be the most promising due to its higher oil content, non edible nature and possible cultivation of Jatropha Curcas plant in any land including barren land even in adverse environment. In the present investigation, a comparative study has been made between chemical (base) catalytic and enzymatic method using non-specific immobilized enzyme Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica) for the preparation of biodiesel from Jatropha Curcas oil. Studies show that enzymatic method is more effective than base catalytic method with regard to productivity, eco-friendliness, selective nature, purity of the product, minimum purification stage, low temperature requirement and reuse of catalyst. Moreover, recycling of enzyme is done in our experiment which reduces the cost of the transesterification process for the production of alternative energy sources. Our process may be implemented in industrial scale with an alternative solution of scarcity of energy resources in the near future. <#LINE#> @ @ Al-Zuhair S., Production of Biodiesel: possibilities and challenges, Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, , 57-66 (2007) @No $ @ @ Sails A., Pinna M., Monduzzi M. and Solina V., Biodiesel production from Triolein and short chain alcohols through biocatalysis, J. of Biotechnology, 119(3), 291-299 (2005) @No $ @ @ Bozbas K., Biodiesel as an alternative motor fuel: Production and policies in the European Union, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 12(2), 542-552 (2008) @No $ @ @ Parawira W., Biodiesel production from Jatropha Curcas: A review, Scientific Research and Essays, 5(14), 1796-1808 (2010) @No $ @ @ Ebtisam K.H., Salah A.K. and Ismaeil K.A., Jatropha Bio-Diesel Production Technologies, Int.

The success of segmentation depends on the quality of the signal at the input. Noises are prevalent during image acquisition, due to various reasons and sources, thus making it hard to distinguish the healthy and abnormal tissues. Pre-processing is essential to remove these noises from the acquired images before subjecting to the actual processing algorithms. This paper gives the results of our study on different filters used to pre-process the biomedical images. The study shows that for a specific sequence of MR Images, a specific filter yields better results as compared with others. We have chosen three different image sequences i.e. T1-series, T2-series and DWI series of MRI and three different filters for the experiment. The statistical comparisons of the methods used are in agreement with our conclusion. For the study, we have taken real images from hospitals. <#LINE#> @ @ Balafar M.A., Ramli A.R. , Saripan M.I. and Mashohor S., Review of Brain Mri Image Segmentation Methods, Artif Intell Rev,  Doi 10.1007/S10462-010-9155-0,33, 261–274(2010) @No $ @ @ Balafar M.A., Review Of Noise Reducing Algorithms For Brain Mri Images, IJTPE,  4(13), 54-59 (2012) @No $ @ @ Gonzalez R.C. and Woods R.E.,   Digital Image Processing, third edition, PHI publication, ISBN 978-81-203-3640-7 (2012) @No $ @ @ http://fonar.com/glossary.htm (2014) @No $ @ @ Jose Alex Mathew and A.M.

Fibre reinforced polymers has been used successfully in many such applications for reasons like low weight, high strength and durability. In the present work experimental study was conducted in order to have a better understanding the behavior of torsional strengthening of solid RC flanged T-beams. An RC T-beam is analyzed and designed for torsion like an RC rectangular beam; the effect of concrete on flange is neglected by codes. In the present study effect of flange part in resisting torsion is studied by changing flange width of controlled beams. The other parameters studied are strengthening configurations and fiber orientations. The aim of present work is to determine quantitatively the effectiveness of GFRP to be used as external lateral reinforcements to flanged T-beams subjected to torsion. Experimental results obtained from GFRP strengthen beams are compared with un-strengthen control beams. The study shows remarkable improvement in torsional behavior of all the GFRP strengthen T-beams. The experimentally obtained results are validated with analytical model presented by A. Deifalla and A. Ghobarah and found in good agreement. <#LINE#> @ @ Gobarah A., Ghorbel M., and Chidiac S., Upgrading torsional resistance of RC beams using FRP, Journal of Composites for Construction, 6, 257–263 (2002) @No $ @ @ Chalioris C.E., Torsional strengthening of rectangular and flanged beams using carbon fibre reinforced polymers – Experimental study, Construction and Building Materials, in press (available online since 16 Nov (2006) @No $ @ @ Ameli M. and Ronagh H.R., Behavior of FRP strengthened reinforced concrete beams under torsion, Journal of Composites for Construction, 11(2), 192-200 (2007) @No $ @ @ Deifalla A. and Ghobarah A., Full Torsional Behavior of RC Beams Wrapped with FRP: Analytical Model, Journal of Composites for Construction, 14, 289-300 (2010) @No $ @ @ Zojaji A.R. and Kabir M.Z.,Analytical approach for predicting full torsional behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with FRP materials, ScientiaIranica, A.19(1), 51–63 (2011) @No $ @ @ Hii, A.K.Y. and Al-Mahadi R., Torsional capacity of CFRP strengthened reinforced concrete beams, Journal of Composites for Construction, 11, 71–80 (2007) @No $ @ @  ACI Committee 440 State Of Art Report On Fiber Reinforced Plastic (1996) @No $ @ @ Zhang J.W., Lu T.Z. and Zhu H., Experimental study on the behavior of RC torsional members externally bonded with CFRP”.

Being unique by nature, perpetual and identifiable features of an individual, the possibility of identifying to the suspects from such latent prints confronted from scene of occurrence, even on documents is higher and conclusive. In the present study, 60 samples including (30 male & 30 female) aging from 18-55 years were taken from the population of Uttar Pradesh, North part of India. After the successful development of latent palm prints on documents, the ridge densities were taken from 25 mm diameter. As a denouement, the procured mean ridge densities, if  11 ridges/25 mm2 or less then is likely to be from male origin, and 13 ridges/25 mm or more then that is likely to be from female origin.  In our study, we found that higher ridges densities are found in females in comparison of males which indicate that on the basis of ridge density of latent palm prints; the differentiation of sex from the latent palm prints can be done successfully.<#LINE#> @ @ Shende Sumit, More Sarika, Malini Ajit and Shastikaa N., to study the correlation between stature and palmprints among North Indian and South Indian populations, Journal of forensic medicine, science and law, 22(1),2013 @No $ @ @ Kaur Ramanjit and Garg Rakesh K., determination of gender difference from fingerprint ridge density in two North Indian Populations, Problems of forensic Science, 85, 5-10 (2011) @No $ @ @ Chitra S.V., Amarnath A., Smitha S.V. and Harindranathan Nair M.V., Estimation of effective impressions surface area of coachin using satellite images, Res.

Carbon monoxide is not harmful at small concentrations for humans and is present in minute quantities as a component of metabolism. But repeated exposure to Carbon Monoxide can have harmful effects like headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, unconsciousness, collapse and finally death. As the frozen foods are regularly consumed worldwide and frozen fish, frozen chicken, etc being the common and most preferred foods, the consumption of frozen foods is abundant. Hence the study was undertaken to quantitatively analyse the Carbon Monoxide present in frozen food using Gas Chromatography. To obtain standard readings, fresh samples were also analysed. The results showed that the fresh samples of food had approximately 145-150ng/gm of Carbon Monoxide while the levels of Carbon Monoxide in frozen food samples was found to be slightly above 1µg/gm.<#LINE#> @ @ Raub J.A., Nolf M.M., Hampson N.B. and Thom S.R.,carbon Monoxide poisoning- a public health perspective,Elsevier.

Global warming is much alarming to the human beings and also to the existence of life on earth. The main cause for global warming is uncontrolled anthropogenic emission of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons etc. Among the green house gases, carbon-dioxide contributes a major share in this aspect. The rate of carbon-dioxide emission varies in different countries like India, USA, China, Japan and also in European countries depending on several conditions mainly industrialization, population explosion and economic growth. In this paper, an attempt has been made for the quantification of carbon dioxide emission in different countries using historical data of hundred years around the globe. Here, we formulate an evolutionary gas emission model using non-linear least square method and regression analysis has been done based on the above data for quantification of the emission. Finally, we predict the long term evolutionary trend of gas emission using instantaneous rate of change (IROC) in the subjected countries along with a comparative study of the carbon dioxide emission in different countries. <#LINE#> @ @ Battle M., Bender M.L., Tans P.P., White J.W., Ellis J.T., Conway T. and Francey R.J., Global carbon sinks and their variability inferred from atmospheric oxygen and 13C, Science, 287(5462) , 2467-2470 (2000) @No $ @ @ Ghoshal T., Bhattacharyya R., State level carbon dioxide emissions of India 1980-2000, Contemporary Issues and Ideas in Social Sciences, (2008) @No $ @ @ Houghton J. et al., Climate Change, The Scientific basis, Contribution of Working Group I to the Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, New York, Cambridge University Press, 183-238 (2001) @No $ @ @ Houghton J.T. and Ding Y., Climate Change, The Scientific basis In Prentice, I.

The detailed studies on the concentration of radionuclides in medicinal plants are sparse. The medicinal plants Justica adhatoda L., Careya arborea Roxb., Mimosa pudica L., Azadirachta indica A Jus. and Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.)Spreng. are selected in the present study. These plants and soil samples from same location were analysed for activity concentrations of 226Ra, 210Pb, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs using gamma spectrometry. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 210Pb, 232Th and 40K in plant samples vary in the range of BDL to 9.59 BqKg, 9.07 to 320.34BqKg-1, BDL to 6.40 BqKg-1 and 443.50 to 3401.29 BqKg-1 respectively. The concentration of 137Cs was found to be BDL for all the plant samples. Soil samples were analysed for the above listed radionuclides and the soil to plant transfer factors were also estimated. The transfer factors found to vary from BDL to 0.17 for 226Ra, 0.12 to 3.73 for 210Pb, BDL to 0.068 for 232Th and 2.94 to 28.66 for 40K.

In India there are about 1200 species of birds, representing some 75 families and 20 orders. This is a very high number and represents a great variety for a single country. The reason for this is that India has a great diversity of climates, from moist tropical to the cold arctic of the Himalayan ranges, the dry and hot desert climate of Rajasthan and cool temperate climate of the hilly portions. Survey and sampling method was used. The study was conducted during three seasons. For the study Six different areas with dense vegetation were identified from Shreewardhan taluka namely Dighi, Kudki, Chikhlap, Aravi, Shreewardhan, Harihareshwar. About 64 species of Birds were observed and identified by using various sources at selected sites. These species are included under 34 families. Comparing the availability of bird species at Western Maharashtra (540), Shreewardhan (64) has about 12% of bird diversity observed during the study. The details of finding are discussed in the paper. <#LINE#> @ @ Chilke Arun M., ‘Avian Diversity in and around Bamanwada Lake of Rajura, District Chandrapur  Maharashtra)’,Annals of Biological Research, 3(4), 2014-2018, (2012) (http://scholarsresearchlibrarycom /archive.html)  @No $ @ @ Grimmett R., Inskipp C. and Inskipp T., Pocket guide to the Birds of Indian subcontinent, Oxford university press, New Delhi, (1999) @No $ @ @ Colin Bibby, Martin Jones and Stuart Marsden, Expedition Field Techniques Bird surveys, Published by Bird Life International, (2000) @No $ @ @ Padmavati A., Alexandar R. and Anbarashan M., Our Nature,, 247-253, ( 2010) @No $ @ @ Bhattacharjee P.C. and Hazarika B.C., Roosting sites and roosting birds at Gauhati Muncipal area, Second intenational symposium on life sciences., NEHU Shillong, (1985) @No $ @ @ Sharma K.K. and Saini Minakshi, Community Structure and Population Dynamics of Aquatic Avifauna of Gharana Wetland (Reserve), Jammu, India, International Research Journal of Biological Sciences, 3(2), 1-8, (2014) @No $ @ @ Kumar P. and Gupta S.K., Our Nature, 7, 212- 217, (2009) @No $ @ @ Nitsure S.R., ‘Study of avifauna at Thane creek near Rituchakkra nature park’.

In present study artificial neural network model is non linear Black box model used to forecast the sediment yield of Kal river in Maharashtra using the streamflow, stream flow lag by one or two day, rainfall and sediment yield lag one or two day as input to the model. In present study multi layers feed forward back propagation neural network model with one to three input layers, one hidden layers and one output layers were developed. The models were adopted by changing numbers of neuron in hidden layers and epoch. The models performance was evaluated by statistical indices such as R, RMSE, CE, VE, MAD, and MAPE. The study reveal that, ANN model with single input as streamflow and 10 neuron in hidden layer found R values 0.92 and 0.85 during training and cross validation respectively and other indices such as RMSE, CE, VE, MAD and MAPE were 91.58 tons/day, 84.16 per cent, 2.28 per cent, -4.52 per cent and 98.07 per cent during training period where 110.35 ton/day, 76.82 per cent, 0.1 per cent, 10.62 per cent and 20.91 per cent during cross validation period, respectively. It is also observed that, the performance of model increase with increases input parameter and changing combination inputs parameters. The linear regress model developed to compare the performance, found the ANN model performance were better and overall ANN model performance were satisfactory for prediction of sediment yield. <#LINE#> @ @ Boukhrissa Z.A., Khanchaoul K., Bissaonnais Y., Le., Tourki M., Prediction of Sediment Load by Sediment Rating Curve and Artifitial Neural Network in El Kabir Catchment Algeria, J of Earth Syst Sci., 122 (5), 1303-1312, (2013) @No $ @ @ Cigizoglu H.K., Suspended Sediment Yield Estimation and Forecasting using Artificial Neural Network, Turkey.

Nanocomposites of chitosan, nanoclay (MMT-Na) and Titanium dioxide (TiO2) were prepared. The UV- Visible analysis of the samples was carried out using UV- Visible Spectrophotometer. Maximum absorbance was observed at 362 nm for 5weight percentage (wt%) MMT and 0.8 TiOloading. From the Tauc,s plot, it was observed that the optical band gap was found to be in the range of 2.9 to 2.2 eV. The refractive index of the material was also calculated. The structural properties were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD and TEM results indicated that an exfoliated structure was formed by the addition of small amount of filler. Antibacterial activity was investigated using gram-negative bacteria and gram- positive bacteria. All have high antibacterial activity. The 30% increase in tensile strength was observed in the case of 5wt% nanofiller loading. <#LINE#> @ @ Casariego A., Souza B.W.S., Cerqueira M.A., Teixeira J.A., Cruz L., Diaz R. and Vicente A.A., Chitosan/ clay films, properties as affected by biopolymer and clay micro/nanoparticles concentrations, Food hydrocolloids.,23, 1895-1902 (2009) @No $ @ @ Wang S.F., Shen L., Tong Y.J., Chen L., Phang I.Y., Lim P.Q. and Li T.X., Biopolymer chitosan/montmorillonite nanocomosites: Preparation and characterization, Polymer Degradation and Stability.,  90, 123-131 (2005) @No $ @ @ Pavlidou S. and Papaspyrides C.D., A review on polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites, Prog.

With the growing environmental concern the global emphasis is towards the application of eco-concordant, bio-degradable, renewable green products and this has inclined towards the natural fibre-made fabrics and making them a natural choice for the mankind. Jute Geotextile (JGT) is increasingly gaining ground over its synthetic non-biodegradable and toxic counterpart leading significant innovation in the design of geotechnical and geoenvironmental systems. One of the prime applications of JGT in civil engineering gamut is in road construction where JGT has been restricted so far as underlay. Hence, there is an urgent need to design and develop an innovative fabric as overlay on existing pavements to stay technically and economically competitive in the global market. Such a fabric will not only prove techno-economically viable but will also reduce the carbon foot-print generation to a large extent. This paper focusses on the laboratory simulation study of Bituminized Jute Paving Fabric (BJPF) carried out by the Department of Jute and Fibre Technology, University of Calcutta in collaboration with Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), New Delhi to establish its efficacy in reducing the cost of maintenance of the road and serving as a partial substitute of bitumen mastic enhancing thereby the life expectancy of the road. <#LINE#> @ @ Data Book on Jute, 1st edn., Edited by Mitra B.C., (National Institute of Research on Jute and Allied Fibre Technology), Kolkata, India (1999) @No $ @ @ Jute Kenaf and Allied Fibres, FAO Statistics, (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, Rome) (2007) @No $ @ @ Indian Jute, A Bulletin of Jute Manufactures Development Council, xix(1), 2 (2007) @No $ @ @ Aziz M.A. and Ramaswamy S.D., Some Studies on Jute Geotextiles and their Applications, Geosynthetic World, Wiley Eastern Limited, 337-345 (1996) @No $ @ @ Liu Aimin., Jute-An Environmentally Friendly Product; International Commodity Organization in Transition, published by United Nation Conference on Trade and Development (2001) @No $ @ @ Hoque M.Z., Study on the agro-ecological conditions of jute and kenaf producing countries, International Jute Organization, IJSG (1996) @No $ @ @ Hoque M.Z., Study on the agro-ecological conditions of jute and kenaf producing countries, International Jute Organization, IJSG (1996) @No $ @ @ Inagaki H., Progress on Kenaf in Japan, Abstract, Third Annual Conference of American Kenaf Society, Corpus Christi, Texas (2000) @No $ @ @ Hoque M.Z., An introduction to jute /allied fibres properties and processing, International Jute Organization, IJSG (1992) @No $ @ @ Final Report on Environmental Assessment of Jute agriculture- Phase-I, International Jute Organization, IJSG (2000) @No $ @ @ Banerjee P.K., Development of New Geosynthetics Products through Blends of Natural Fibres, Environmental Geotechnology with Geosynthetics, Asian Society for Environmental Geotechnology, 337–345 (1996) @No $ @ @ Ray A.N., Studies on Jute Based Needlepunched Nonwovens using Multifactor experimental Designing Technique, Ph.

During in vitro fertilization, it is necessary to maintain optimum temperature to maintain the viability of sperms outside the body, especially in cases of male factor infertility where only a few sperms are available for use. A functional membrane is required for the sperm to properly fertilize the oocyte, because it plays a key role in capacitation of the sperm, acrosome reaction and binding of the sperm to the surface of the oocyte. This study was conducted to observe the effect of temperature on human spermatozoa and thus deduce the optimum temperature for good survival of the sperms. Semen samples were collected from normozoospermic patients. Processed semen samples were exposed to two different temperatures, and the membrane integrity of the sperms was assessed by performing hypo-osmotic swelling test and the sperms were checked for tail-curling under 200x microscope. <#LINE#> @ @ Andersson A.M., Jorgensen N., Main K.M., Toppari J., Rajpert-De Meyts E., Leffers H., Juul A., Jensen T.K. and Skakkebaek N.E., Adverse trends in male reproductive health: we may have reached a crucial ‘tipping point’, Int.

Recently JNC-8 recommended the goal should be SBP140 mm Hg and DBP 90 mm Hg for adult age group that should be attained either by life style intervention or with pharmaecological treatment. The most recent glycemic goal recommended by the American Diabetes Association, selected on the basis of practically and the projected reduction in complications over times, is in general, an HbAC level of 7%. The general consensus is that an HbAC level of  7% should serve as a call to action to initiate or change therapy with the goal of achieving an HbAC level of 7% that to be needed to assess the role of non-clinical management of diabetes hypertension patients and this paper was an effort on aforesaid issue. The validation cohort n=100 for intervention group and 10 for control group. The main findings of the paper; it was observed that improved in awareness, attitude and practices for good control 86 percent subjects for diabetes hypertension. On the other hand, after intervention, the changes in their control was found among 58% patients. The major changes observed in salt intake, exercising, yoga, worship, not smoking, non-alcoholing. The dietary improvement in terms knowledge and practices among 52% subjects. The calculated value of chi-square was found much more higher (19.0) as compared to table value (3.841) at one degree of freedom and five percent significant level. Therefore null hypothesis rejected and alternate hypothesis accepted (i.e. non clinical management was primary treatment technique for good control of diabetes-hypertension). <#LINE#> @ @ Chobanian A.V., Bakns G.L. and Black H.R. et.al., Seventh report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, detection, evaluation and treatment of high blood pressure, hypertension,42, 1206-1252 (2003) @No $ @ @ Shahid S.M., Jawed M. and Mahboob T., Ionic and Allied Variations in Normotensive and Hypertensive Diabetic Patients, JPMA,55(4), 153-8 (2005) @No $ @ @ Godley P.J.

Water may possess many pathogenic bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasites. They are responsible for the emerging most widespread infections which are leading cause of death worldwide. Aeromonas veronii is commonly found in freshwater systems. Aeromonas is gram negative, facultative anaerobic bacteria. It causes aeromonasis in humans and is also pathogenic for aquatic and terrestrial animals. Pichola lake is one of the most beautiful lake of Rajasthan, India.  It is an important source of potable water supply for the city.  In the present study, an attempt has been made to isolate the lactobacilli from camel milk and detect the antibacterial activity of lactobacilli against previously isolated and identified Aeromonas veronii from lake Pichola. A total of 10 lactobacilli were isolated and subjected to agar well assay for detection of antibacterial activity. Out of them, 2 isolates showed demonstrable antibacterial activity against Aeromonas veronii. On the basis of biochemical and molecular characteristics these two isolates were identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus CMU 14 and Lactobacillus fermentum CMU 17. Further investigation may reveal that these lactobacilli isolates could be used as potential probiotics for aquaculture and to manage aeromonasis. <#LINE#> @ @ Belorkar S.A., Assesment of the deterioration in physiochemical and microbiological quality of shivnath river water in drug district, E-J.

Antibacterial activity is one of the important probiotic properties for a strain to be a functional probiotic.The three Lactobacillus strains namely Lactobacillus plantarum CM1, Lactobacillus fermentum CM4 and Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei CM6 were isolated from cow milk samples collected from Udaipur city.  Their antagonistic activity was tested against five pathogenic bacteria such as Serratia marcescens NCDC 108, Enterobactor aerogens NCDC 106, Proteus vulgaris NCDC 73, Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, and Micrococcus luteus NCDC 131 using agar well assay method. The results showed that the Lactobacillus strains namely Lactobacillus plantarum CM1, Lactobacillus fermentum CM4 and Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei CM6 were able to inhibit the growth of all the pathogenic bacteria in varying degrees. All the three Lactobacillus isolates were found to be the most sensitive against Micrococcusluteus than the rest of the pathogenic bacteria used in the study. The inhibition observed in the case of all the isolates that have antagonistic effect may be due to the production of organic acids as well as other compounds such as bacteriocins, hydrogen peroxide etc.<#LINE#> @ @ Shokryazdan P., Sieo C.C., Kalavathy R., Liang J.B., Alitheen N.B., Jahromi M.F. and HO W.Y., Probiotic potential of Lactobacillus strains with antimicrobial activity against some human pathogenic strains, BioMed Res.

As commercially available activated carbon is an efficient adsorbent, but its practical use is limited due to its high cost and complicated regeneration process. The aim of this investigation is to explore the potentiality of coal flyash as an alternative adsorbent for phenol removal from aqueous media. The coal flyash is characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) which shows the presence of quartz, alumina, hematite and different mineral matters. Batch type experimental studies are performed on synthetic wastewater involving different parameters like particle size of flyash, pH effect and temperature. The experimental data are analyzed by Langmuir models in order to describe the equilibrium isotherms (R &#65533; 0.96). The adsorption of phenol is decreased with increasing particle size and pH but increases with temperature. The study shows that coal flyash can be used as a new and effective adsorbent material for the removal of phenol from aqueous media. It was found that these low cost flyash adsorbent demonstrated good removal capability for phenol and hence can be used economically on large scale. <#LINE#> @ @ Okasha A. Y., Ibrahim G.

The pH value of solution was varied to study the surface morphology and particle size variations in ZnO. The X-ray diffraction peaks of all the samples corresponds to hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO and the data also shows significant variation in particle size as well as the lattice strain of ZnO nanoparticles with respect to pH values of the solution. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images show different morphology at different pH values. Hexagonal shaped nanorod structures were observed at pH value of 7 and 9, and plate like structures were observed “at pH values 10.5 and 12.5. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirms the formation of ZnO at ~450 cm-1. UV-visible Spectroscopy (UV-vis) analysis shows symmetrical shift in the absorption edge towards the lower wavelength or higher energy region with decrease in particle size of the ZnO samples. <#LINE#> @ @ A.K.

It is necessary to find out the suitable substitute with low weight, high strength and low cost materials. The Aramid, carbon and glass are the most commonly used fibres, whereas basalt fibres are comparatively novel fibre in the civil engineering industry for the strengthening of structures using Basalt fiber which is made from basalt rock. Basalt fiber has high tensile strength, good range of thermal resistance, acid resistance, good range of electromagnetic properties, inert nature, and high resistance to corrosion, radiation and UV light. This investigation focuses on the effect of fibre content and fiber orientation of basalt fibre on mechanical properties of the fabricated composites. In this investigation different fiber orientations are taken and the fabrication is done by hand lay-up process. The variation of the properties with the increasing number of plies of fiber in the composites is also studied. Specimens are subjected to tensile strength test and the failure of the composite is examined with the help of INSTRON universal testing Machine. The average tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of BFRP plates are determined from the test Program. <#LINE#> @ @ Goldsworthy W.B., New Basalt Fiber Increases Composite Potential, Compos.

This period is the time of most rapid growth. The average weight of most healthy new born baby is around 3.2 kg. Colostrum secreted during the first two or three days after delivery thick and yellowish fluid about 10-40 ml that is rich in protein. It is first immunization contains antibodies against viral disease such as small pox, polio, measles and influenza. Recommended strategies to promote breast feeding include, education programme, post-portam support and peer counselling, hospital rooming in of mother with infant, encouraging early maternal contact and frequent, on-demand breast-feeding, elimination of commercial discharge package for new mothers, and discouraging the early use of artificial nipples and pacifiers. Human milk is tailored precisely for the growth and development needs of the human infant. Breast milk contains taurine, an important nutrient for brain and nerve growth whereas cow milk contain none. It is also rich in vitamin A, C and E. The vitamin B content depends on material intake and meets calculated standards. The Supreme Court dated 28-11-01 has given direction by order passed for infants, children, pregnant women and lactating mothers. The direction for infants energy 300 kCal and 8-10 gm protein and for malnourished babies get 600 kCal and 16 to 20 gms of protein and efforts shall be made that all including SC/ST hamlet. The tharu and Gond tribes are populated at Indo-Nepal border both were recognized as schedule tribes by Govt. of India gives many special social, educational, economic and other rights. They were primary victim of the backwardness. The main objective of the paper is to analyze comparatively the infancy nutrition with government assistance among dangolion Tharus and Gond Schedule Tribe population. The validation cohort n=50 in each community of Tharu of Balrampur district and Gond of Basti district of U.P., India. The main findings of the paper, the higher the frequency and time per time of breast feeding 12 times and 10 minutes or more among halves of 0-6 month of age groups, and higher the intake of chaknabhat with breast feeding more than12 times observed a healthy or overweight infants. Whereas the awareness for requirement of infants nutrition attitude and practices were found negligible. The calculated value of chi-square was found much more higher(38) as compared to table value(3.841) at one degree of freedom and 5% significant level. Therefore null hypothesis rejected and alternate hypothesis accepted i.e. healthy nutrition brings healthy infancy among both community Tharu and Gond. <#LINE#> @ @ Sri Lakshmi B Dietetics, 33-60 (2012) @No $ @ @ http://www.healthypeople.gov (2014) @No $ @ @ Douglas C.

The meat of the fish has an intrinsic muddy flavor and presence of small bones because of which it is not popular in states like Kerala. The meat pieces were subjected to marinating for 15 min and smoking on various time and temperatures followed by frying. Pickle was prepared using the pretreated meat following a base recipe and subjected to sensory evaluation. Muddy flavour was found to decrease with increase in smoking period. The most acceptable combination of treatments was found to be marinating fish meat pieces for 15 min followed by smoking for 3 h at 60C and frying for 30 sec at 180C in refined vegetable oil. Vinegar- tamarind juice mixture in 1:1 proportion was found to be the most preferred acid source for preparing the pickle. The pickles was prepared using meat pieces subjected to the selected pretreatments and acid mixture, storage studies were conducted for a period of 72 days. The organoleptic scores for odour, texture, taste and overall quality significantly increasing in trend.The total plate count showed no increase in pickle during storage. This was accompanied by significant increases in total volatile base nitrogen content and pH in the latter. pH range was changed from 4 – 4.10 during storage of 72 days. The peroxide value also increased. Pickle was found more suitable as the product could be well preserved and the sourness was found to be less organoleptically. <#LINE#> @ @ Nummer B.A., http://www.homefoodpreservation.com (2002)@No $ @ @  George S., Practical Manual for Course in Fish Products and By-Products Technology, Published by Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies, Panangad, Kochi, 19-21 (2012) @No $ @ @ A.O.A.C., Official Methods of Analysis, Association of Official Analytical Chemists, Washington, 14thEdn., 1141, (1984) @No $ @ @ A.O.A.C., Official Methods of Analysis, 15th Ed., pp. 200–210, Association of Official Analytical Chemists, Washington, DC.

Theanimal skin contains large number of microbes, derived from air, water, soil and extraneous filth, when the animal is alive, most of these microbes have little effect on the skin. But after the removal of the skin from the dead animals, during finishing operation, all microbes find themselves in a perfect medium for the growth and immediately start multiplying at an enormous rate. The observations of many types of leather samples will give a large number of fungi which grow and infest the various types of finished leather and cause deterioration The present study deals with the collection of various types of finished leather samples and infested leather articles from different places. Isolations were made from such samples to know about the qualitative and quantitative spectrum of fungi to deteriorate the collected samples.

Department of Zoology, Govt. Dungar College, Bikaner-334001, INDIA<#LINE#>30/11/2015<#LINE#>23/3/2015<#LINE#>Rajasthan is endowed with different topographic characters. In northwest part of the state, the Thar desert lies, where extreme condition like scarcity of water, low rainfall, high temperature fluctuations, dust storms, poor vegetation and animal life prevail. In the adverse conditions of desert water is the most important limiting factor for existence and distribution of biotic communities. In the Indian desert fewer but varied bodies of water are present in the form of ponds, tanks, reservoirs, tanka, naadis, johra, beri and bawari and few perennial lakes etc. The present study was carried out during September 2012 to February 2013 to investigate the diversity and population density of Zooplankton at ‘Sethani ka Johra’ in Churu district (270 24’N to 290 00’ N latitude and 730 40’E to 750 41’E longitude). Physical – Chemical limnology of the studied biotopes revealed that the pond was shallow with turbid, alkaline, hard, slightly saline and well oxygenated water. The zooplankton fauna was represented by Protozoans, Rotifers and Arthropods. Protozoans include thirteen species belonging to two classes- Mastigophora and Ciliata. Rotifers represented by eight species. Arthropods were represented by two classes – Crustacea and Insecta. Crustacea includes eight species belonging to three orders – Ostracoda, Cladocera and Copepoda. Nauplii, the larval forms of many Crustaceans, occurred in pond during the study period. Aquatic insects include ten species belonging to two orders - Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Order Diptera and Odonata were represented only by larval forms. <#LINE#> @ @ APHA-AWWA-WPCF.

Psychosocial factors have not received adequate attention in the cardiovascular aetiological studies. In the present study, biopsychosocial experiences of 100 (50 males and 50 females) medically diagnosed patients of coronary heart disease admitted at PGIMER, Chandigarh were investigated based on psychometric analysis using DS14 scale and in-depth interviews. The results revealed that family history, unhealthy eating habits, sedentary life style, stress, anxiety and depression (type D personality) were major determinants. Pearson chi-square test revealed significant gender difference for Type of CAD whereas no significant gender differences were observed for type D personality and its sub-traits and co-morbities (Diabetes and Hypertension) in coronary artery disease patients. It was suggested that cardiac patients require multiple-level treatment from a variety of clinical professionals including cardiologists, psychologists, physical therapists and non-paramedical staff; besides effective medical intervention by these experts, effective psycho-social support by family or friends or others may provide a holistic and multidimensional treatment. <#LINE#> @ @ Murray C.J.L. and Lopez A.D., eds.

The quest for meaning and purpose in life is also proven to be helpful in relation to spiritual wellbeing. To understand an individual's spiritual perspective is become an important demand of the era, considering physical illness, disability, loss of loved ones, loneliness, depression and mortality etc. during ageing years. Interest in spirituality and aging has increased recently, owing to overwhelming evidence of positive health outcomes linked to spirituality. Increasing longevity in modern society puts spiritual needs of ageing adults at the forefront of societal priorities. The research work attempts to present the relationship between the spiritual wellbeing and quality of life among 100 ageing adults belonging to middle income group of Hindu ethnicity across the gender, along with discussing the importance of spirituality for successful ageing. To summarize, we can say that during the later years of life spirituality appears to play an important and adaptive role by helping one to live a better quality of life with full of happiness and satisfaction, as well as longevity. In addition, along with encouraging healthy lifestyles, religious spiritual groups may promote access to better healthcare and preventive programs.<#LINE#> @ @ Lavretsky H., Spirituality and Aging, Aging Health, 6(6), 749-769 ( 2010) @No $ @ @ Dalby P., Is there a process of spiritual change or development associated with ageing?

The increasing population, urbanisation, industrialisation and agricultural practices have put pressure on the availability and quality of water especially on groundwater. For fulfilling the increasing demand of water in various sectors, there is need of searching, planning and management of surface and groundwater resources. In the present technological era, the remote sensing satellite data are highly useful for searching potential groundwater sites. In the study, IRS P6 LISS III satellite data of the year 2006 have been used for groundwater prospects mapping in Gurgaon district of Haryana State. Gurgaon district is situated between the latitudes 2739’58” N to 2832’30”N and longitudes 7639’10”E to 7720’27”E and covering 1254 sq.km area. The climate of the district is semi-arid type. The district has rocks of Delhi Super group comprising mainly quartzite and most part of the district is covered with alluvium and sand of Quaternary age. The present study has been carried out with main objective to map groundwater prospects in the district using satellite data. For achieving the objective, various thematic maps such as base map, lithology, lineament, geomorphology and drainage have been prepared on 1:50,000 scale with the help of IRS P6 LISS III satellite data of the year 2006, Survey of India (SOI) Toposheets and District Resource Map of Geological Survey of India (GSI) in ArcGIS 9.3 software. All the thematic maps have been integrated and prepared groundwater prospects map. Field visit has been done at selected locations to check the interpreted features. The field information has been incorporated in the pre-field maps and finalized all the thematic maps as well as groundwater prospects map. In the district, major groundwater prospects units are older alluvial plain, aeolian plain, sand dune complex, denudational hills and structural hills.The groundwater prospects in older alluvial plain is good to very good; in aeolian plain the groundwater prospects is moderate to good while in sand dune complex, denudational hills and structural hills the groundwater prospects is poor.The study provides the scenario of groundwater potential for targeting groundwater exploration sites, planning and management in the district. <#LINE#> @ @ Bahuguna I.M., Nayak Shailesh, Tamilarsan V. and Moses J., Groundwater prospective zones in basaltic terrain using remote sensing, J.

Medical University, Lucknow, INDIA @ Lucknow University, Lucknow U.P. INDIA <#LINE#>30/11/2014<#LINE#>26/1/2015<#LINE#>Interdependent Relationship between diabetes mellitus and obesity is termed as “Diabesity” that is a complex syndrome whereby obesity progresses to diabetes with overlapping symptoms of insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemias, ion imbalances and inflammation. Diabetes presently affects 155 million people and obesity 310 million and an additional 800 million people are overweight. World-wide, these two serious conditions have become a health problem onepidemic proportions. The rising prevalence of DM appears to be greatly related to be increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity. Obesity is an important risk factor for diabetes also. Recently (2009) the general consensus in American Diabetes Association and American College of Endocrinology that an HbAC level of more than 7% serves as a call to action to initiate or change therapy with the goal of achieving an HbAC level below 7%. It was still realized that the importance of non-clinical management of diabesity, weight control is an important part of management. Diet and exercise intervention should be initiated early and should continue throughout the duration of the treatment. The objective of the paper to assess the role of non-clinical intervention for management of diabesitycontrol among urban patients. The paper was prepared at Barabanki, U.P. India. The subjects were purposively selected of diabesity. Those were taking treatment at different private nursing home at Barabanki U.P. India. A hundred patients were selected for intervention and ten for control group. The main findings of the paper changes after intervention bring in non-clinical diet 62%; exercise 58%; stress management 22%, cognitive management 20% smoking cessation 10% that changes in weight 43% cases upto 2 kg.and diabetes control approx. 69% patients having their HbAC less than 7%. The calculated value of chi-square was found much more higher (26.0) as compared to table value (3.841) at one degree of freedom and five percent significant level. Therefore null hypothesis rejected and alternate hypothesis accepted i.e. knowledge, attitude and practices for diabesity non-clinical recent recommendation intervention could better control diabesity. <#LINE#> @ @ Kapt J, Cain, Reyes E.J., Kibbe W.A.

The present study is aimed to determine the efficiency of phosphate solubilizing activity of lead tolerant Pseudomonas aeruginosa HMT51 isolated from mine spoil of Zawar. The phosphate solubilizing activity was determined using modified Sperber medium containing 10% CaCl2 and 10% KHPO by spot assay method. The isolate was found positive as it showed halo zone around its colonies. The efficiency of phosphate solubilization of HMT51 was determined by comparing the diameter of halo zones after 24h, 48h, and 72h. It was found to be 200, 281.81 and 314.28 after 24h, 48h and 72 h respectively.

Ahmednagar, MS, INDIA<#LINE#>9/11/2014<#LINE#>7/3/2015<#LINE#>Boron is widely distributed in surface water and groundwater. The boron concentrations vary greatly depending on boron content of local geologic formations and anthropogenic sources of boron. Boron is naturally released to soil and water by rainfall, weathering of boron - containing minerals, desorption from clays and decomposition of boron containing organic matter. Human made sources include application of boron containing fertilizers or herbicides, application of fly ash, use of waste water for irrigation or land disposal of boron containing industrial waste. Human health is affected by excess of boron in food products. Due to over irrigation the soils from the Sangamner area are suffering from the problems like salinization, alkalization and waterlogging. To minimize their problems and considering the importance of boron in the fertility of soils, it was decided to estimate the boron concentration in the soils and groundwater from Sangamner area. 20 groundwater samples were analyzed for pH, EC, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na, K, Cl, HCO, SO2-, NO and B. Similarly 20 soil samples were also analyzed for pH, EC, exchangeable cations like Ca2+Mg2+, Na and K by neutral ammonium acetate extract of soil. B was determined by Carmine method. Textural analysis of these soil samples were done by International Pipette method. The boron content of soil was ranged from 0.019 to 8.381 ppm. The salt affected soils in the area showed higher concentration of boron. These soils are from villages like Jorve, Kolhewadi, and Rahimpur in the downstream part wherein salinization is to a greater extent. Upstream part and non - irrigated region of the area was found to be deficient in B. As per Richards classification of boron concentration relative to tolerant of plant, 50% soils are safe, 20% are marginal and 30% soils are unsafe in the area which is in agreement with the groundwater analysis of the area. Toxicity of boron in the area is the impact of salinization and /or alkalization related to intensive irrigation. High levels of boron in salt affected soils can be reduced by leaching as well as leaching after treatment with gypsum and through selection of proper crops. <#LINE#> @ @ Goldberg S., In: U.C.

The petroleum stock limited, and therefore other methods have been sought. Polymers having high molecular weight find use as lubricating oil additives in three application areas of: viscosity-index improvers (VII), pour-point depressants and polymeric detergents. The present works aim to find new applications of terpolymers as viscosity-index improvers (VII) in the field of lubricants. Overwhelming utilization of natural petroleum resources may be a problem in the future. Therefore, such of higher molecular weight terpolymers can used as a VI improver (or Thickeners) and low molecular weight terpolymers can also used as synthetic base oil. The easily made vinyl esters obtained in good yield from readily available, inexpensive raw materials; also the vinyl esters are conceivably low cost monomers. The study opens up new routes of multi-functional synthetic lubricants. <#LINE#> @ @ Stewart W.T. and Staurt F.A., Advances in PetroleumChemistry and Refining, Kobe K.A. and Meketta J.J.

<#LINE#>Enhancement of dissolution of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride using Solid Dispersion Technique<#LINE#>F.I.@Shaikh,V.B.@Patel<#LINE#>299-307<#LINE#>51. ISCA-ISC-2014-Oral-13PCS-15.pdf<#LINE#>Babaria Institute of Pharmacy, INDIA<#LINE#>29/11/2014<#LINE#>4/2/2015<#LINE#>Lercanidipine hydrochloride (LER) is a BCS class II antihypertensive drug which results in limited oral bioavailability of 10%. The purpose of this study is to improve the dissolution and thus the bioavailability of LER by dispersing it into a hydrophilic polymer. Study involved incorporation of LER in a polymeric matrix of Polyethylene Glycol-6000 at a molecular level. Solid dispersions of LER were prepared by  solvent evaporation and melt fusion techniques by varying drug to polymer ratio. The studies demonstrated that LER solid dispersions show increased solubility and dissolution rate in comparison with physical mixture and pure drug. Solid dispersion obtained by solvent evaporation and fusion techniques showed improved release i.e. 93.7% and 57% respectively as compared to pure LER and physical mixture 37.2% and 38.9% respectively in 1 hour. No interaction of LER and polymer was confirmed by DSC and IR studies. It can be confirmed from the obtained results that solid dispersion can be a method of choice for increasing the solubility, dissolution and in turn the bioavailability of Lercanidipine hydrochloride. It is also observed that out of two techniques employed for preparing solid dispersion, solvent evaporation technique shows challenging results. <#LINE#> @ @ Parmar N., Singla N., Amin S. and Kohli K., Study of cosurfactant effect on nanoemulsifying area and development of lercanidipine loaded (SNEDDS) self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system.

In, Jaipur the main source of water supply is ground water. It is either supplied by the piped line by the Public Health and Engineering Department (PHED) or the households have their own personal bore-wells at their premises. For the study, 20 samples were collected from 10 randomly selected wards; one each from bore-well and piped water supply. Samples of water were collected from households for physic-chemical and E-coli analysis. The quality of water was compared with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) norms of potable water. Results revealed that water samples did not fully meet the BIS norms of potable water. The samples of bore-wells were worse in quality than piped water supply. Fluoride and nitrates were found in private bore-well samples. Drinking water was contaminated with E-coli in both types of sources. The study concluded that in order to get quality of potable water at household level, water treatment is necessary.  <#LINE#> @ @ Sabal D., Ashutosh and Khan T.I., Ground Water Fluoride Content and Water Quality in Amber Tehsil of Jaipur District, The Ecoscan, 2(2), 265-267 (2008) @No $ @ @ Tatawat R.K. and Chandel Singh C.P., Quality of Ground Water of Jaipur City, Rajasthan (India) and Its Sustainability for Domestic and Irrigation Purpose, App. Eco and Env.

Oil and gas resources are very limited and new technologies are being developed to extract more and more from these limited oil and gas reservoir. One such Technology to develop oil and gas fields is Hydraulic Fracturing, which is controversial due to its environmental footprints. Though implementation of hydraulic fracturing techniques has brought down the price of gas and electricity by increasing the natural gas production from unconventional reservoir like Tight gas, Shale Gas/Oil and CBM reservoirs, but this is on the cost of contamination of ground water resources, surface spills of chemicals causing soil pollution, noise pollution due to the large engines/pumps being used and the prolong contact with the chemical used can cause various health issues. In this paper, we will try to focus on the environmental impacts of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and well development and how huge water requirement for the hydraulic fracturing job can create problems for human water needs. In this paper the importance of realization of direct impact of fracturing fluids on environment and human health will be emphasized.  <#LINE#> @ @ Carter K.E., Hydraulic Fracturing and Organic Compounds-Uses, Disposal and Challenges, SPE 165692 (2013) @No $ @ @ United States Enviornmental Protection Agency Progress Report on Study of Potential Impacts of Hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources, (2012) @No $ @ @ Colborn Theo, Kwaitkowski Carol, Schultz Kim   and Bachran Mary, Natural Gas Operation from a public health perspective, Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: International Journal, 17(5), 1039-1056,(2011) @No $ @ @ Lee, D.S., J.D.

It depicts a picture of unorganized, unregulated, unregistered and labour-intensive activities. This sector with its historical presence in the rural economy has now become an integral part of urban economy due to the changing socio-economic structure of the country. The state of Telangana is no exception to this trend with Greater Hyderabad providing the impetus to the rapid urbanization process. The significance of the informal sector as a tool of employment generation is undeniable for Greater Hyderabad. The objective of the study is to analyze the employment generated by the informal sector in Greater Hyderabad. The informal sector has been playing a significant role in the economy of Greater Hyderabad by contributing high percentage to the total employment generated in the city. The present paper focuses on the jobs created in the informal sector in the ten-year period. Acknowledging the significance of this sector the paper offers some policy suggestions for the optimum utilization of human resource operating in it. <#LINE#> @ @ Choudhary Utpal, Informal Sector in a Developing Economy, Anmol Publications Pvt.

<#LINE#>A Historical Transition of Banjara Community in India with Special Reference to South India<#LINE#>T.@Nagaveni <#LINE#>11-15<#LINE#>3.ISCA-ISC-2014-Oral-20SHS-14.pdf<#LINE#>Department of History, Government First Grade College, Kuvempunagar, Mysore-570 023, INDIA <#LINE#>13/11/2014<#LINE#>9/3/2015<#LINE#> An incisive insight into the literature on Banjara Community clearly indicates that ample literature has been produced by the Western and Indian scholars. Yet the treatment of the problem is exponential. Deep delve into the process of historical transition of the Banjara Community enables us to focus on various controversial issues and complexities of historical significance. Issues like Semantics, Historicity, Location, Ethnicity, Categorization, Caste-clan, Dichotomy and the community’s identity continued to gravitate the attention of the scholars and researchers alike. Lack of unanimity among the scholars and policy makers on these contentious issues has added perplexity to the puzzle. Ambiguous explanations given by the community historians have further complicated the clear-cut understanding of the process of historical transition. The antiquity of this Banjara Community is traceable to Harappa and Mohenjodaro. Its influence continued to spread and retain its relevance down the centuries to shape and reshape the course of history. There is a speculation about the group of Banjaras who mere concentrated outside India and called as Roma Gypsy, where their social history is not yet clear but proved to be of Indian Origin.  This paper however strives to focus on historical transition within the context of India from 13th Century A.D. till 1950’s. Such a treatment might look intellectually awesome and anarchic. Despite it a depiction of the historical transition is inevitable to bridge several centuries old transitional life of the Banjara Community. This paper also unfolds important milestones coupled with phases of migration from North to South India. Thus this is divided into the following, Introduction, Phases of transition and the conclusion. <#LINE#> Thurston Edgar and K.R. Chary, eds. Castes and Tribes of Southern India. 7 vols. Repr.

Some questions have been raised and probable answers given. The main problem is regarding methodology. Definition and categorization of IK/IKS are also situational. IK and IKS are to be separated. IKS as a global knowledge system has to be understood. Hidden and open ended IK/IKS should have different methodologies. Symbols, cognition, post-structuralism, post-modernism, humanitarianism are different perspectives. There are as many research approaches. Rapid rural Appraisal has got special attention. IKS itself is a methodology. We have to realize the ground situation also concentrating on the area as well as approach to the area. Study can be etic and/or emic. Probable rationale of approach is to be formulated. We have to realize situations like IK/IKS versus civilization, global services from IKS, and traditional knowledge system and IKS. We also have to better understand colonial realm of the term “indigenous” and keep in mind the aspects like Indigenous Rights according to ILO.<#LINE#> @ @ Haverkort B., Agricultural Development with a Focus on Local Resources: ILEIA's View on Indigenous Knowledge, in D.M.

Pollution of fresh water results largely from the waste disposal. Many of our lakes are becoming increasingly murky, smelly and choked with excessive growth of algae. Most of the rivers have become darkened with sewage, chemicals and other undesirable foreign extraneous matter. Moreover, the rivers carry and deposit their pollutants in to the ocean. Hence, the oceans are also polluted by toxic wastes which cause contamination of sea-foods on a large-scale. The present study has been made to analyze the physicochemical parameters of the river Chnadrabhaga. Samples were collected season wise from sampling site for analyzing the various physicochemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, TDS, Conductivity, DO, free CO2, Sulphate, Phosphate, Nitrate, BOD, COD. The work highlights the condition of this river water in various seasons with respect to the parameters mentioned above. <#LINE#> @ @ Borse S.K., Lohar P.S. and Bhave P.V., Hydrobiological study of algae of Aner river, Jalgaon (Maharashtra), J.

It is required to interchange secret session keys securely through insecure network for establishing communication securely. In two-party network, two communication clients share a low entropy password secretly to communicate in later sessions securely. But this paradigm requires high maintenance of passwords due to each new communicating pair requires separate passwords to establish communication securely. In three-party network, each communicating party shares a password with the third-party (server) to interchange a secret session key securely. The beauty of this setting is even server is not knowing the session key. Many authors have proposed various two-party and three-party protocols which are having their won pros and cons.

Or we can ask is there anything more fundamental than space-time? To find causes responsible for the birth of space-time, general theory of relativity which describes gravity as a curvature of space-time and quantum mechanics which is used to describe entropy of the space must be taken into account. In this paper we are discussing different theories to explain the origin of space-time. The conclusion of our study is that quantum entanglement between particles on the boundary of the space whichis holding together the three dimensional universe within it, is more fundamental than space-time in some sense and as quantum entanglement, vanishes the three dimensional universe starts splitting itself.  <#LINE#> @ @ Einstein A., Podolsky B. and Rosen N., Can quantum-mechanical description of physical reality be considered complete?, Phys.

This has led to construction in soil mass considered otherwise unsuitable for construction. Ground improvement is an essential condition to build any civil engineering structure in these type of soil as they are found to have low bearing capacity and uneven settlement among other drawbacks. Geosynthetics are being widely used for the last two decades as soil reinforcement to improve the quality of soil owing to their ease of operation and overall cost. Geocell is the most advanced form of geosynthetics. Geocell is a three dimensional, polymeric, honeycomb like structure of cells interconnected at joints. The soil particles can be trapped inside these cells providing an overall confinement to the soil layer and improves it properties regarding support of civil engineering structures. Several researchers have shown the efficiency of geocell in improvement of bearing capacity of foundation when the soil is reinforced with geocell. The present paper is a review of the experimental techniques adopted to assess the performance of geocell as a foundation reinforcement material and validates its use for further by the practicing engineers as a soil improvement medium.   <#LINE#> @ @ Hinchberger S.D. and Rowe R.K., Geosynthetic reinforced embankments on soft clay foundations: predicting reinforcement strains at failure, Geotext.

The Amla is known for its therapeutic properties and holds a reputed position in the ayurvedic and unani system of medicine in the country. The biological effect of Amla has been attributed to the antioxidant properties of the low-molecular hydrolysable tannins present in the fruit. Amla is the richest source of Vitamin C and contains gallic acid, ellagic acid and flavonoids. The galleoellagi tannins in the fruit preserve the vitamins under all conditions. Amla possesses antioxidant, ant hyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic properties. The present review, deals with nutritive value of Amla, chemical composition, medicinal properties and use of amla in improving Blood Glucose metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus have been discussed to provide collective information. Amla, being the polyphenols and a mixture of phytochemicals can act as a hypolipidemic agent reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications in diabetics.

Aparts from its value as fibre, it has great potential to be used as edible oil, food for animals and other byproducts like particle board and boxes. White fly (Bemisia tabaci) is a major sucking pest on cotton crop, causing quantitative and qualitative losses to cotton. An experiment was conducted at agriculture research station ,sriGanganagar to evaluate the bio-efficacy of different insecticides against cotton White fly (B. tabaci). Maximum percent reduction was observed with Trizophos 40 EC (63.22%) followed by the Acetamiprid 20% SP (55.61%) and these were statistically at. par and significantly superior over rest of the treatment. The phytotoxic effect on crop could not be observed during the experimental period. <#LINE#> @ @ Anonymous, Annual Report of All India Coordinated cotton improvement project CICR Regional Research Station Coimbatore, 1-4, (2003) @No $ @ @ Patil B.V., Development IPM Schedule.

The majority of vegetables in western Rajasthan are found contaminated with pesticides residue. A total 50 samples of chilli were collected from different farms of western Rajasthan, for analysis of pesticide residue with the help of multiple residue method and gas chromatography. A considerable amount of samples (around 36%) were found infected with various organochlorine pesticide residues. The chilli samples were found with pesticide residue more than the permitted maximum residue limit (MRL) values. <#LINE#> @ @ Rizwan M., Sharma R. and Soni P.
