Grewia optiva is an important fodder tree in Solan District of Himachal Pradesh. It forms an important component of agro forestry systems in the mid hill region because of its multipurpose use as fodder, fuel and fibre. Its leaves are damaged badly by different insects leading to huge losses of green fodder. The different insect pests found feeding on G. optiva are Mimastra cyanura, Myllocerus setulifer, Apoderus spp. Lygropia obrinusalis, Adoretus bimarginatus etc. These pests take heavy toll of the foliage and results in huge losses to the farmers.Keywords

Robinia pseudoacacia commonly called 'Black locust' is an exotic tree which was introduced in the country in the late nineteenth century and the plantations done in Shimla forests did well. It is becoming an important component of agroforestry systems in mid-hill regions, especially in Solan District of Himachal Pradesh. It is valued for leaf fodder, timber and as honeybee flora. Being an exotic tree, it is not having its traditional pests but some insects have been encountered feeding on different parts of this tree. Among them, Chaffer beetles were found to feed profusely on the foliage of this tree and take heavy toll of the leaves. Cyclopelta siccifolia (Hemiptera : Pentatomidae) was recorded to be the major pest associated with this tree. Its nymphs and adults were observed to suck the sap profusely from the stem and branches of the tree. Another pentatomid bug Nezara viridula was found to feed on the leaves of R. pseudoacacia. Bagrada cruciferarum adults were also encountered feeding on the leaves. Some other pests of minor importance were also observed to feed on this tree.Keywords

Indian Forester, Vol 133, No 11 (2007), Pagination: 1513-1518Abstract
Locastra muscosalis Walker (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae) is a serious pest of Pistacia, Apple and Poplars. Larvae of this pest make the webs by uniting the leaves together with the help of silken threads secreted by Lannea grandis and feed voraciously on the leaves of host trees while living inside these webs. The damage caused by this insect is upto an extent that some times the whole tree is defoliated and it is not able to bear the leaves for the remaining season. During the biological study of this pest an egg larval parasitoid has been found to kill this pest. The parasitoid has been identified as Dolichogenidea sp. The parasitoid larva come out of the host body and make a white cocoon before pupation. The adults were black in colour and having transparent wings. The detailed biology of the parasitoid is presented.- Diorhabda lusca, Maulik (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae), a Serious Pest of Celtis australis in Low and Mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh

Poplars hold an important place in the agroforestry systems because of their multiple use, fast growing nature and short rotation. Tbey are being grown on large scale in the plains of nortbern India, valley area of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Different Poplar clones being grown on these areas are invariably attacked by a number of insect pests. Various insect species invade Poplar plant parts right from the nursery stage to the maturity of the crop. Some of the important inseet pests infesting these trees include Apriona cinerea, Eucosma glaciuta, Plagiodera versicolora etc. They not only affect the growth and render them unfit for proper utilization but also sometimes threat their survival. An account of insect pests associated with Poplars in western Himalayan region in respect of their incidence, nature and extent of damage and management strategies have been discussed in the text.- Management of Locastra muscosalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Using Certain Synthetic Insecticides and Physical Methods

The efficacy of three synthetic insecticides and three neem products was evaluated in the field for the control of Locastra muscosalisWalker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) affecting Pistacia integerrima Stew ex. Brandis trees growing in the campus of Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry Nauni, Solan (H.P.). Along with these insecticides, a physical practice of removing the egg masses was also evaluated as a control method. Removal of egg masses was found to be the most successful method in controlling this pest. Amont the various chemicals used Endosulfan 35EC (1.5ml/lt) was found to be the most effective followed by Monocrotophos 36SL (2.5ml/lt) and Chlorpyriphos 20EC (2.5ml/lt). The neem products used to control the pest were found to show negligible effect in controlling the pest population when compared with the synthetic insecticides.- Role of Insect Pests in the Mortality of Kikar and Shisham in Punjab

Pistacia integerrima is a tree of great economic importance because of its ornamental and medicinal values and as its wood is used for making furniture. The defoliation caused in this tree hampers the production ofthe leaf galls formed on this tree which are capable of curing various diseases. Out of different defoliators, Locastrti muscosalis is the most important one which takes heavy toll of the foliage. This pests is reported for the first time on this tree. It is gregarious pest which live on the tree by making webs and is capable of defoliating the whole tree. The eggs are laid in the last week of June. 1st, 2nd and 3rd instar larvae are gregarious in hebaviour, but in the 4th and 5th instar the larvae change to solitary hebaviour. Larvae hibernate inside the silken cocoon from September onwards upto next June when pupation take place inside the cocoons made for hibernation. The black coloured adults with greenish tinge emerge in last week of June. Its detailed biology is being reported.- Incidence and Control of White Grubs in Poplar Nurseries at Nauni in Himachal Pradesh

Kikar (Acacia nilotica Willd.) and Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo Roxb.) are integral part of agro-ecosystem in the plains of North-West India. In the recent past large scale mortality of these trees was observed in this area and other parts adjoining the North-West and North-East Himalayas. So as to investigate the different mortality factors of these trees in the State of Punjab some of the areas with large scale of mortality of these trees were surveyed during the year 2001 determining the insect-pest association. It was found that grubs of Coleopteran beetles were most predominant in dead and drying trees in most of the areas. However in certain case termites and bark eating caterpillars were also found associated with Kikar and Shisham trees. A detailed account of insect-pests associated with Kikar and Shisham trees and survey report in particular have been discussed in the text.- Bacillus circulans a Promising Biocontrol Agent of Locastra muscosalis a Defoliating Pest

Back ground and purpose The purpose of this study was to find out there is any effect of dominant hand training (RT), on intermanual transfer to subdominant hand (LT) in patients after cerebral tumor surgery. Subjects and methods Subjects were 32 patients with the mean age of 48.21±5.85, height 166.56±6.23 cms, and mean weight 67.68±5.03 kgs with upper limb weakness secondary to cerebral tumors. Using peg board to analyze motor performance. Raw scores were standardized for data analysis using paired't' test under SPSS 11 windows software. Results Over the 2 weeks period the experimental group patients has significantly shown improvement. Reduction in mean time to complete the task on dominant hand is 74.38±9.57 sec to 63.25±8.69 sec and in non dominant hand 145.81±12.58 sec to 139.94±12.41 sec. But in control group has no significant difference (p=0.0018) and the task 73±10.41 sec to 72±10.24 sec. Conclusion and discussion The findings suggest that the task improvement is only by intermanual transfer. So that measuring changed in experimental group. But in control group sufficient improvement only by familiarization of the task though clinically significant.References

Present study was performed to explore the action of rotenone on C6 glial cells. Rotenone is environmental pesticide and could specifically cause damage to dopaminergic neurons. It is well often used to make experimental models of Parkinsons disease. We have explored the effect of rotenone on glial cells at different concentrations and time points. Two time points were selected prior to their doubling time. Different cytotoxic parameters were done to investigate the effect of rotenone on cell viability. Significant decrease in cell viability was observed at increasing concentration of rotenone in time dependent manner. We performed single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) to investigate the DNA damage after rotenone treatment. Results found showed rotenone caused apoptotic death of glial cells in In Vitro. Our study could contribute in the concept of glia degeneration and helps in further explorations of better therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases.References

The use of the proposed method in residue to binary conversion in Residue Number System (RNS) and Distributed Arithmetic Algorithm (DAA) in modern telecommunication and multimedia applications is becoming more and more important because it allows interesting advantages in terms of area, power consumption and speed.. This paper presents new method for conversion procedure (residue to binary) based on a {2n -1,2n , 2n+1, 2n + 1+1, 2n - 1 -1} moduli set. Based on the proposed method for conversion in RNS and DAA algorithm, an architecture which efficiently implements the digital fir filter is synthesized using Xilinx Virtex2. Proposed method simplify the computing procedure by maximizing the utilization of the modulo-mi adders and multipliers present in the RNS functional units. For an n-digit RNS number X = (x1, x2, x3, …., xn) the proposed method takes at most n iterations. Each iteration requires one parallel subtractions and 2 multiplications except the first one.Keywords

Short-term load forecasting is an important component in the power system load forecast, it is very important to unit optimum combination, economic scheduling, optimum current of dispatching department. Classical load forecasting methods include time sequence, regression method, and so on, but many of them have defects, for example, numerical value is instability and the factor which influences load can't be considered. Artificial intelligence method is main method now; neural network BP algorithm is representative among of them. When using neural network to predict electric power load, front neural network can predict with more precision fitting high linking and non-linear relation of shining upon between inputting and outputting from complicated sample data through studying. However some new problems have appeared while predicting electric power load using this method, it can't distinguish the impact on load data of the influence factor clearly, network structure can't be optimized and fixed automatically and need to confirm network structure artificially, the result is easy to fall into local optimum. So General Regression Neural Network- GRNN is proposed in this paper, it achieves global optimizing and can sample or calculate the data obtained to revise the network directly under the same structure, it need not calculate the parameter again, but only need a simple smooth parameter, it needn't carry on the training course of circulation.Keywords

Psychoeducation has been emerged as an indispensable mode of treatment in modern day psychiatric treatment. Most mental health clinicians and researchers are in favour of adding psychoeducation as the adjunct to strengthen the other forms of psychiatric treatment because psychoeducation has the potentialities to help the patients and family members know about their creative and positive role in the treatment and enhance their ability to deal with daily stress. Psychoeducation is an adjunctive approach which has the immense potentialities to reduce the relapse as well as rehospitalization rates and mental health costs in relapsing psychiatric disorders. Psychoeducation is understood as systematic, structured, didactic information on the illness and its treatment options and psychoeducation aims to enable patients as well as family membersto cope with the illness. Modern treatment protocols cite psychoeducation as an indispensable part of psychiatric treatment. Psychoeducation for patients with severe and relapsing mental disorder improves the understanding of mental illness, increases the quality of life, and can reduce relapse rates. Family psychoeducation as well has become a strongly supported evidence-based practice in the treatment of chronic and relapsing mental disorders. Psychoeducation in families of patients with such disorders can reduce the relapse rates of these patients, positively influence the course of the patient's illness, and help the families and patients to better cope with the mental illness (Rummel-Kluge et al., 2006). In our review paper we present evidence supporting the efficacy of psychoeducation, the topics to be addressed in a psychoeducational program and its postulated mechanisms of action as well as side-effects.Keywords

This study was two group comparative designs on a sample of 60 children in age group of 6-18 years hailing from an equal number of single and both parent family homes to examine their reported prevalence of problem and to see whether students (males & females) and intact and non-intact families has difference in their Emotional and Behavioural Problems. For assessment of problem behaviors in children, the Emotional and Behavior Problem Scale (EBPS-2) was used in this study. Taking consent for the study, the detail about the study was explained to the students. The socio demographic details were filled by participants and proper instruction was given to the participants. The Emotional and Behaviour Problem Scale (EBPS-2) on 30 both parents and 30 single parent's student were administered. Results show that, on the whole, children from intact parent family homes have fewer behaviour problems than those from single parent households. In relation to associated variables, more boys than girls are reported as having additional problem behaviours within the studied sample in the present study. The results are discussed along with its implications planning parent training and home to deal with Emotional and Behaviour problems and also enrichment training programs especially for the single parent families in our country.Keywords

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder causes in many cases, severe disability. There is a dearth of reliable tools that diagnose difficult cases of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder accurately, particularly those helpful in differentiating it from schizophrenia and depression. Obsessive Style Index was developed by Exner group (1990) with the purpose of diagnosing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder patients accurately. Very little literature is available and probably none from India, regarding the validity of this index. So this research will be an attempt on this path. The aim of the study was to study the socio-demographic profile of the patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, to see the clinical profile of the patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, To see the significance of Obsessive Style Index (OBS) in diagnosing the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patients and To see the relation in severity of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder on OBS index. A sample of 30 patients (male&female), diagnosed clinically as having OCD by psychiatrists on the basis of ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for research, were selected from out-patient department of the Post Graduate Institute of behavioural and Medical Sciences, Raipur (C.G.). The major thrust of the present study was to see the significance of Obsessive Style Index (OBS) in diagnosing the Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder patients and to see the relation in severity of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder on OBS index. In essence, the present study highlights the obsessive style index (OBS) needs to be modified if it is to be used to identity the cases of obsessive compulsive disorder in our Indian population or some other measure should be used.Keywords

Objectives: The origin of various equations involving variation of mass with velocity is discussed and new exponential equation is derived. At lower velocity this equation and Lorentz equation both give same results. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The various references right from inception of concept of variation of mass with velocity are discussed. The basic common point in various equations is that invalid operation division by zero is involved. Initially such equation was initiated by Thomson, and used by following scientists. Thus aspects are theoretically discussed. Findings: A newly derived equation is exponential in nature and is interpreted in view of existing experimental observations. It does not involve division by zero, hence never predicts that mass becomes infinite when velocity of body, v =c. Lorentz has given equation for transverse mass mT = ε mrest , where is undetermined factor or coefficient differing from unity by quantity of the order v2/c2. Lorentz’s equation (relativistic mass) is experimentally verified by with reasonable accuracy up to velocity 0.75c. Thus Lorentz’s equation is confirmed in limited region. In LHC the protons have energy 13TeV move with velocity at about 0.9999 99990c, at this velocity the relativistic mass of proton must be experimentally measured and compared. Then it must be confirmed up to which extent Lorentz’s equation is obeyed. New theory of variability of speed of light implies that speed of light was more in the early universe. It supports exponential equation which allows superluminal velocity. Applications/ Improvements: The exponential equation is the first equation which provides extension in the Lorentz equation in conceptual and mathematical way. It stresses superluminal velocities at some stages of formation of universe. The exponential equation can be checked in experiments in LHC which involve velocities tending to that of light and other experiments.Keywords

Objective: Third law is critically analysed in view of definition and elaboration given by Newton at page 20 of the Principia. It is evident that law is incompletely studied. Methods/Analysis: Newton did not give any mathematical equation for the law. The definition and explanation of the law is completely analyzed theoretically and discussed in view of the experimental data. Newton’s explanation is simply qualitative, not quantitative which is required for scientific analysis. The law is universally applicable to all cases and all bodies without any constraint. However Newton elaborated the same in terms of just three qualitative examples which is not scientific. Findings: The terms action and reaction neither possess units nor dimensions, even expressed in terms of equations the explanation is qualitative only. The law is understood in terms of force only. However Newton expressed law in terms of both force and velocity in three examples. If law is expressed in terms of force and velocity analogous to action and reaction, then its limitations are evident. For example it does not account for the significant factors e.g. inherent characteristics, nature, compositions, flexibility, rigidity, magnitude, size, elasticity, shape, distinctiveness of interacting bodies, mode of interactions, point of impact etc. The law is universally applicable for all bodies e.g. bodies may be of steel, wood, rubber, cloth, wool, sponge, spring, typical plastic, porous material, air/fluid filled artifact, mud or kneaded flour or chewing gum specifically fabricated material etc. For all such bodies if the action is same, then the reaction must be the same. But it is not found true in all cases, as interaction between rubber and steel are different from rubber and cotton. Application/Improvements: Thus law is generalized; reaction is proportional to action depending upon characteristics of system. Mathematically, Reaction = -K action, the value of K may be equal to, less than, or greater than unity depending upon experimental parameters.Keywords

This paper provide new low power solutions for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) designers. Especially, we focus on leakage power reduction. Although leakage power was negligible at 0.18μ technology and in nano scale technology, such as 0.07μ, leakage power is almost equal to dynamic power consumption. This paper presents heretofore unexplored methods for low-power VLSI design. In particular, the Low Leakage approach provides what may be the best solution for VLSI designers concerned about the twin problems of low static power and maintenance of VLSI logic state during sleep mode. For such a two-headed problem, the Low Leakage approach can provide two orders of magnitude (100X) or more static power reduction over the best prior approach; however, there is a cost potentially quite small-in terms of delay increase and area overhead. In short, Low Leakage principles provide heretofore unknown Pareto points for consideration in VLSI design.Keywords

Two month old stem explants of Carica papaya L. cv. Coorg Honeydew showed 80 per cent callus initiation on Murashige-Skoog (MS) nutrient medium supplemented with 3.0 μM of 2,4-dichloro phenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Treatment with phytohormones like Kinetin (Kin) or Benzyl adenine (BA) (@ 0.2 to 2.0 mg l-1) were found to have no role with regard to callus initiation. However, these initiating calli when subcultured on MS + 2,4-D (3.0 μM) + Kin (0.5 mg l-1) showed a two-fold growth by proliferation within 21 days after the date of sub-culture. During this period, 30 per cent of the callus tissue underwent necrosis. Thereafter, the best of 70 per cent friable, healthy calli were recultured on MS + 2,4-D (3.0 μM) + Napthalene acetic acid (NAA, 2.0 mg l-1) + Kin (0.5 mg l-1), also supplemented with casein (50 mg l-1). This combination for reculture resulted in vigorous callus growth on fresh weight basis. Best somatic ernbryogenesis was achieved when callus tissue so obtained was further recultured in MS + NAA (1.0 mg l-1) + Kin (0.5 mg l-1) + Gibberelic acid (GA3 1.0 mg l-1) + L- Ascorbic and (Asc, 50 mg l-1) alongwith glycine (1.0 mg l-1) + thiamine (Thia, 1.0 mg l-1) as adjuvants. The pH of such culture media was maintained at 5.7, incubated under a 16/8-hr light/dark cycle at 25°±1°C in the culture room. This protocol resulted in 80 per cent somatic embryogenesis out of which about 20 per cent yielded regenerants. The plantlets were carefully transferred to half-strength MS medium for further growth and hardening.Keywords

Cotyledonary explants from 4 week-old aseptic seedlings of Capsicum fruitescens cv. California Wonder were cultured on MS medium supplemented with sucrose (5%), agar (0.8%) and 2,4-D (1 mg l-1) pH 5.7. One month old callus was subcultured on the same medium devoid of 2,4-D but with salicylic acid (0.5 to 2.0 mM) to study the role of Salicylic acid in triggering defense responses. However, the best response for salicylic acid induced plantlet regeneration was obtained at 0.5 mM concentration. Kinetin (0.5 to 5.0 mg l-1) or Gibberellic Acid (each 0.5 to 5.0 mg l-1) failed to do so. The salicylic acid induced cytodifferentiation and plantlet regeneration in pepper may function through the response regulator mediated two component signaling system.

A study on the seasonal incidence and management of harar borer Dichocrocis sp. was carried out at the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh in 2018-19. Incidence started during the last week of May with two peaks, first peak was in the last week of July (77%) and the second peak (72%) was in the last week of September. The four insecticides viz. chlorantraniliprole 18.5 w/w, cyantraniliprole 10.26OD, fenvalerate 20EC, monocrotophos 36%EC and the biopesticide agniastra prepared using cow urine, reduced the infestation to <43%. Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 w/w @ 0.005% was the best reducing the infestation to 7.77% followed by cyantraniliprole 10.26OD @0.01% (9.99%) and fenvalerate 20EC @0.012% (14.43%).Keywords
