India is bestowed with a wide range of soil and agro-climatic conditions. Therefore, almost all types of fruit can be grown in one or the other parts of the country. China is the largest producer of fruits followed by India which now accounts for about 10 per cent of world production. Passion fruit belongs to the family Passifloracea, distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. There is need to improve and standardize the nutrient doses by which we increase the production of this fruit. Keeping with these views, the experiment was conducted in the experimental farm, Department of Horticulture, BAU, Ranchi. This experiment consisted of ten treatments including control. The treatments were NPK (300: 150:150 g/vine), NPK (250: 125:125 g/vine), boron 1.2 g/vine, sulphur 24 g/vine, the next four treatments were combination of NPK with boron and sulphur, and two controls. Thus, there were ten treatments, replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. In all the treatments 2 kg of vermicompost and 0.5 kg of lime were applied as basal dose except absolute control. All the treatments exhibited better results over untreated control and absolute control. Highest yield (56.65 q/ha) was obtained by NPK (250: 125:125 g/vine) + boron 1.2 g/vine which was at par with, NPK (300: 150:150 g/vine) + boron 1.2 g/vine (49.15 q/ha) and NPK (250: 125:125 g/vine) + sulphur 24 g/vine (52.48 q/ha). Thus, NPK (250: 125:125 g/ vine ) + boron 1.2 g/vine appeared to be the best treatment in vegetative character, reproductive characters, fruit characters and yield followed by NPK (250:125:125 g/ vine) + sulphur 24 g/vine.

The present work investigates turbulent supercritical (Froude Number>1) bend flow through an open channel. The CFD-based model, ANSYS FLUENT version 13.0, is used to solve the threedimensional (3D) continuity and Navier-Stokes equations. The standard k =ε turbulence model is considered for the investigation. The model is applied to the channel bend geometry as described in a published experimental work. Results in the form of velocity profiles and non-dimensional water depths are obtained and compared with the already published experimental findings. The results obtained through the present work as compared to the published ones indicate that three-dimensional modelling technique plays a significant role in the entire endeavour and, thus, the three-dimensional approach makes highly-improved predictions. Also, the three-dimensional simulation indicates the existence of a nonlinear gradient of water depth as the water flows through the bend.Keywords

Therapeutic interventions for remediation of reading disabilities are still controversial, supporters of different therapies point to the success of their approaches with equal conviction. Among all these therapies verbal self-instructional treatment programme has shown considerable promises in improving the performance of reading disabled children. However, there are some unresolved issues on VSI and reading disabilities. Factors involved in facilitating the maintenance and generalisation treatment effects need to be identified. This paper suggests for further research to make VSI an effective psychotherapy technique.Keywords
