The study was initiated to compare market and laboratory made singori with objective of providing scientifically proven best quality of said sweet. Singori is a traditional sweat of hills specially Almora district. The conventional method of manufacturing singori was studied at Pantnagar, Rudrapur, Haldwani and Almora. Microbiologically the singori of Almora was found better with lowest SPC, yeast and molds count and lipolytic activity. The sensory score of Singori samples obtained from market ranged from 6.22 to 8.65.

Study conducted to know epidemiology and accomplish molecular characterization of Campylobacter isolated from meat of different species and human stool samples. A total of 759 samples, consisting of human stool (50) and meat of poultry (251), chevon (183), pork (127), fish (106) as well as carabeef (42) were processed, 50 samples showed characteristic colonies on mCCDA plates. All the 50 isolates were subjected to various biochemical tests and Latex agglutination test for confirmation of the genus Campylobacter. All the isolates were further analysed for molecular confirmation and PCR based genus specific amplification of 16S rRNA gene which yielded product of 816 bp in all the isolates. Multiplex PCR was performed for genus as well as species-level identification; all 50 isolates revealed 857 bp amplicon of 16S rRNA gene specific for genus Campylobacter. Thirty-five isolates exhibited 589 mapA gene amplicon specific for C. jejuni and 16 isolates gave 462 amplification product of ceuE gene specific for C. coli. Overall prevalence was 6.58%. The highest prevalence rate of 13.54% was recorded in poultry meat, followed by 7.6% in chevon, 0.78% in pork and 2% from human stool samples. None of the isolates were recovered from beef and fish meat samples. Most of the obtained isolates were classified as C. jejuni (35 strains, 70%), whereas C. coli was identified in 15 (30%) samples, indicating that the C. jejuni was the most commonly found species.

An attempt was made to isolate and identify Salmonella bacteria from meat samples of different animals around Pantnagar area. A total of 716 meat samples were screened by conventional cultural method and further confirmed by biochemical, serological and PCR based molecular technique. The samples were plated on various media like HEA, BGA, XLD, BSA and MLA from where the putative isolates were tested biochemically followed by serological identification by latex agglutination kit and molecular confirmation using specific genes. A total of 9 salmonella could be isolated.

Blended Learning is an integrated approach to teaching learning process where different learning environments like Face-to-Face (F2F), online, social networking etc. are mixed with a goal to provide the most efficient and effective instruction experience. This approach makes use of various advanced technology to provide training and development in management education.
The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the need for blended learning using emerging technologies in the teaching-learning process in various management institutes in India.
A study using survey method is carried out in one of the premiere management institute of India to identify the student perspective of technology ownership, technology usage for teaching and learning, collaboration etc. The finding of this paper will provide directions for blended learning environment which can be used by management institutes to make decisions about the teaching and learning initiatives.
The paper also discusses the three major shifts in educational technology landscape that will make a large impact on teaching and learning in the years to come. They include use of social networks, growth of mobile devices and use of cloud based technologies.

The paper Present to design PID controller parameters for an unstable Automatic Voltage Regulator system using Particle swarm optimization (PSO). The design goal is to minimize the integral errors and reduce transient response by minimizing overshoot, settling time and rise time of step response. First an objective function is defined, and then by minimizing the objective functions using real-coded PSO, the optimal controller parameters can be assigned. The avr system taken for case study is inherently unstable, highly nonlinear and after tuning of PID using PSO, results stable system.Keywords

The vegetable oils stands as an alternate fuels as physical and combustion properties are dose to the diesel fuel, However the viscosity of the vegetable oils is higher than the diesel. In the present work waste sunflower oil is taken as an alternate fuel. The high viscosity of sunflower oil is decreased by blending with diesel in various proportions and heated prior to the combustion in the cylinder. The fuel blends are heated by means of the exhaust gases of the engine. The blends of varying proportions of sunflower oil and diesel are prepared, analyzed compared with diesel. The effect of temperature on viscosity of the fuel blends is also studied. The performance of the engine using fuel blends is evaluated in a single cylinder C.I engine and compared with the performance obtained with the pure diesel. The experiments are performed on the 4-stroke engine at various loads by maintaining constant speed.The performance parameters of the blends like brake specific fuel consumption, thermal efficiencies is observed very nearer values to the pure diesel values. The fuel consumption, thermal efficiencies are observed very nearer values to the pure diesel values. The fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature are increased slightly for the fuel blends compared to pure diesel. The fuel blends supplied to the engine are S10 (10% sunflower oil and 90% diesel), 325 and 350, 360. It is observed that the performance of the engine is almost same up to 325 fuel blend without much heating, compared to pure diesel. The maximum brake thermal efficiency obtained is 30.3% for S25 blend while it is 32.6% for pure diesel. The bsfc and maximum exhaust gas temperature obtained are 0.262 kg/hvh and 292°C respectively for S25 fluid blend, while they are 0.248 kg/kwh and 242°C for pure diesel. Acceptable thermal efficiency and bsfc are also obtained for S50 fuel blend.
