Background of Study: Temporomandibular Joint function is affected in altered cervical spine postures, has been proved in previous researches.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study is to find out the correlation between mandibular opening and craniovertebral angle which represent the Temporomandibular Joint Function and Cervical Spine Posture respectively.
Procedure: 60 subjects which included 30 males and 30 females with mean age 22.55±2.884 years were selected using stratified random sampling method. Craniovertebral angle and vertical mouth opening was measured using photographic method and vernier calipers respectively in three basic cervical spine postures. Karl Pearson coefficient was found between the two variables.
Results: Karl-Pearson coefficient of correlation was found for the craniovertebral angle and vertical mouth opening in 180 positions of 60 subjects which claimed a moderate negative correlation between the two with r value of -0.479.
Conclusion: Results showed a moderate negative correlation between the craniovertebral angle and mandibular opening i.e mandibular opening increased as the craniovertebal angle decreased and vice versa.

An experiment was conducted to examine the magnitude of genetic diversity and characters contributing to genetic diversity among 35 core elite wheat germplasm from INDIA and CIMMYT under water deficit condition. Principal components (PC) analysis showed that three components explained 67.73 per cent of the total variation among traits. The first PC contribute 38.8 per cent, second PC contribute 17.17 per cent and third PC contribute 11.66 per cent of total variation between traits. The first PC was more related to LSR, DSI, SCMR, RWC, ear weight per plant, harvest index and grain yield. The second PC was more related to plant height, LSR, tillers per plant, biological yield, thousand kernel weight and RWC. Therefore, selection based on first component is helpful for a good hybridization breeding program. Genetic divergence was carried out and grouped genotypes into six genetically distinct clusters. Cluster II genotypes viz., CHIRYA7, HW2041 and PBW502 shows superiority for functional stay green trait by exhibiting low cluster mean for leaf and DSI, and high cluster mean for SCMR, photosynthetic rate, RWC, tillers per plant, ear weight, 1000 kernel weight, biological yield, harvest Index, grain yield per plant and in contrast Cluster IV genotypes are non-stay green and drought susceptible by exhibiting high cluster mean for LSR and DSI. A three dimensional (3D Plot) depicts maximum genetic divergence between HW2041 and CBW38 and CHIRYA7 and HW2033. Stay green trait and all yield attributing traits except plant height can be improved by intermating HW2041 with CBW38 and CHIRYA7 with HW2033 genotypes which result in a highly heterotic hybrid for these traits under water deficit stress in wheat.Keywords

Pithoragarh district has unique tourism treasures to offer for tourists. The resources have not been utilized to gain meaningful economic benefits for the society. The purpose and scope of this study exactly tries to focus on that issue. Even through the tourism potentials are plenty, many peoples are not aware about entire areas. The research design was exploratory followed by descriptive, based on primary and secondary data. The information was collected from the various tourism resource potential areas through direct distribution of questionnaire where the tourist visited. The study has used both quantitative and qualitative research approach for data collection. Necessary information as a secondary data were obtained from the office of Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nagar Ltd. (KMVN), DTDC, Forest department, Transport department, Adventure tourism trainers, Non-Governmental organization (NGOs), Hotels, Travel agencies and Tour operators, Universities and College libraries etc. The major problems was road condition, parking, connectivity timing of transport and sanitation in main town, land slides, soil erosion. Suggestions and recommendation were given to solve the problems and developing tourist sites.Keywords

Over the past 30 years, severe demands have been placed on the pipe manufacturer with respect to the development and processing of materials to pipe line. Line pipe steel is put to extremely severe conditions like deep water, cold climate, corrosive and high pressure applications etc. Their quality requirements are becoming exceptionally stringent with respect to metallurgical properties i.e. cleanliness, physical and mechanical properties etc. In line with these requirements, significant improvements have been undertaken for achieving the desired chemistry and bringing down the level of non-metallic residuals to meet stringent specifications of customers. This paper briefly summarizes the technological requirements of line pipe steel.Keywords
