Hazards Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) was developed as a management tool to provide a structured approach to control identified hazards. It was jointly developed by Pillsbury organization and NASA in 1960's with an objective to provide food product's for astronaut consumption in space. This is now widely used in food industry to ensure safe food for consumer. This paper describes the principles and procedures of HACCP. The purpose of this study is to design/modify the generic HACCP models for food production in hotel kitchen. If hotel intend to produce a good quality food, then hotel kitchens would have to implement a HACCP systems as well as GMPs.Keywords

Introduction: Acute poisoning is one of the commonest pediatric emergencies and an important cause of mortality. Objectives: To study the magnitude and demographic profile of acute poisoning among hospitalized children (1Month-18 years of age) in Jammu, India.Materials & method: All the children between one month and eighteen years of age, admitted to Pediatric wards of SMGS Hospital, Government Medical College, Jammu, India, over a period of one year as a case of acute poisoning were included in the study. The information obtained from Subjects / Parents / Guardians and examination of subjects was recorded on a pretested proforma and analyzed.
Results: A total of 245 (1.76% of total admissions) children were admitted with acute poisoning during the study period. Male - Female ratio was1.58:1. Majority 243(99.18%) patients were of oral poisoning and maximum were in the age group of more than one to five years (71.42%). Majority 219(89.39%) patients of acute poisoning were accidental. Suicidal attempts constituted 2.45% and 1.22% cases were of homicidal nature. Majority (41.63%) of poisoning cases were due to accidental ingestion of household products followed by drugs ingestion (23.67%), food poisoning (16.33%) and agricultural/industrial products ingestion (9.8% cases). Maximum 187(76.33%) patients of acute poisoning recovered whereas 3 patients (1.22%) died.
Conclusion: Acute poisoning in children is usually accidental with favorable outcome. Deaths do occur depending upon the nature of poisoning and the stage at which patient seeks medical care. Poisoning can be prevented by increasing public awareness, counseling and correct guidance to the parents.

The incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) in India is shown to have increased with increasing life-expectancy, use of diagnostic marker like prostate specific antigen (PSA) and changing life style. Prostate cancer occurs at an old age with peak incidence occurring after 65 years of age. Since PCa is often asymptomatic, screening for prostate cancer is essential for an early diagnosis in men above 55 years of age. PSA is the most widely used biomarker for the early diagnosis of PCa. However, the use of PSA as a screening tool for the early diagnosis of PCa has been controversial. The use of PSA combined with Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) improves the possibility of diagnosis of PCa. Imaging techniques are much more used for staging of PCa and for guiding of needle biopsy. The present review describes various diagnostic modalitieswith its merits and demerits, whether used for the early diagnosis of PCa in an individual patient by urologist or used for population screening purposes.- Diapause Specific Expressed Sequence Tags of Antheraea mylitta Drury

Daba bivoltine ecorace of tropical tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta Drury undergoes facultative pupal diapause and shows different type of voltinism. During course of its long pupal diapause, erratic, unseasonal and unsynchronised emergence of adults is noticed and losses of seed stock range in between 10 - 30%. In order to avoid all these problems, proper understanding of induction, maintenance and termination state of diapause of this economically important insect is felt essential. The presence of diapause specific expressed sequence tags (ESTs) through PCR clones of Hsp70, Hsp23, hexamerins and PCNA genes have been reported in the present study. The ESTs obtained form the primers of Hexamerins were only seen when pupae were 65 and 165 days old. ESTSs obtained form the primers designed form Hsps 70 sequences were up regulated during early (D0), middle (D75) and late age (D135 to D165) of diapause period. The presence of Hsp23 was obtained during preparatory phase of diapause (IV instar) and pupae of early and mid aged diapause period (D0 to D75) and late age of diapause (D135 to D165). ESTs of Hsp22 were seen during preparatory phase of diapause (IV&V instar), throughout diapause period and even after diapause period was over. ESTs of Hsps90 were seen during preparatory stage (IV instar) and middle and late age of diapause period. Est of PCNA were down regulated throughout diapause period, their up regulation was seen at the time of diapause termination. Another group of ESTs obtained from different sets of Hsps 70 primers were up regulated intermittently through out the diapause period. Hsps90 were upregulated during middle and late age of true diapause period. At the fag end of true diapause period, ESTs disappeared when pupae became older than 165 days as no ESTs were seen when pupae were 195 days old indicating the actual age of diapause termination. It was also evidenced by the up regulation of PCNA.ESTs whose concentration remained very low through out the diapause period but its intensity increased at 195 days which further increased at 210 days. The pupae of Daba BV of 195 days and older can be further exploited for low temperature treatment to delay the moth emergence in adverse summer season so as to produce dfls matching with the actual cropping schedule.Keywords

Literature review revealed that attempts were made to apply non-linear projection methods such as perspective projection methods, for computing Z field (Z) or depth field in a given 3D Environment (3DE). Literature also revealed that the study was confined to using Flat Picture Planes (FPP) and Cylindrical Picture Planes (CPP). A high degree of non-linearity was reported between the depth as seen on Flat Picture Planes (FPP) or Cylindrical Picture Planes (CPP) and the actual depth (Z). This non-linearity was reported to be higher for depth (Z) values nearer to and far away from Flat Picture Planes (FPP) or Cylindrical Picture Planes (CPP). This non-linear behavior is mainly due to the Flat and Cylindrical nature of the projection planes. A slight decrease in non-linearity was reported while using CPP. An attempt is made is this paper to use Picture Planes having spherical geometry and to investigate whether the non-linearity further decreases and if so, to quantity the decrease. A set of known Z values are considered and the computer generated graphical model of the Z – field is obtained using FPP & SPP. The depth values as seen on the FPP & SPP namely df & ds are computed. Using numerical methods, nth order equations are proposed between computed depth Zf and df for FPP and Zs and ds for SPP, where Zf and Zs are the computed depths under FPP & SPP methods. The percent variations (pf or ps) of Zf with Z and Zs with Z during the entire region of Z are computed. It has been concluded that SPP method offered the least percent variation and lies with in +5%. Hence with in an accuracy of + 5% of actual depth (Z) the computed depth Zs can be used for depth computations. This model can be suitably interfaced with the kinematic design of Robots, in order that the Robot can generate its own commands for fixing the coordinates of the negotiating objects, with in an accuracy of + 5%.

To evaluate the effectiveness and clinical significance of pattern visual evoked potential (P-VEP) as a predictor of occlusion therapy for patients with strabismus and amblyopic (squint eye). In this research work, we explored to find the optimal electrode channel for pattern visual evoked potential (P-VEP) in monitoring the effectiveness of occlusion therapy of squint eyes without compromising on the efficiency. These Pattern Visual Evoked Potential (P-VEP) signals were recorded with the P100 features extracted in single trials using a Check board pattern based BCI paradigm. The benefits of choosing the best scalp electrode combination are essential to every single trial BCI. The experimental evaluations were done using different electrode configurations against the configuration that is selected with the aid of Genetic Algorithm. The performances of these configurations were calculated using their ability to do the correct matching and rejection percentages. The recommendations for optimal electrode channels are given with valid performance evaluations. Therefore, it is proposed that for future experiments, the GA based selection of optimal channels could be considered for applications that involve in monitoring the effectiveness of occlusion therapy for squint eyes.Keywords

Pre-harvest application of calcium chloride (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 %) and gibberellic acid(10, 20 and 30 ppm) at 80% blooming, fruit-set and at 15 days before harvest were carried out on 5-year old trees of apricot cv. Harcot. All the treatments significantly reduced physiological loss in fruit weight, fruit diameter and spoilage percentage during storage. However, CaCl2 @ 1.5% was found to be most effective in minimizing weight loss in fruits during storage compared to Control. Fruits quality (TSS, titrable acidity, TSS/TA, ascorbic acid, total sugar, etc.) was also found to be better (even at 8 days of storage at ambient condition with this treatment) compared to Control. Hence, it can be concluded that pre-harvest foliar application in apricot cv. Harcot with CaCl2 @ 1.5% at three stages, i.e., 80% blooming, at fruit-set and 15 days before harvest, enhances shelf-life of the fruit from 3-5 days storage to 8 days storage, and can maintain good fruit quality under ambient storage-condition for up to 8 days.Keywords

Silicon-rich-nitride (SRN) films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) by changing the silane and ammonia flow rates. These films were thermally annealed for precipitation of silicon nanocrystals. Measurements of refractive indices and FTIR absorption spectra of these films indicated increase in the silicon content. Thermally annealed SRN films exhibited photoluminescence in visible region indicating their potential as down-conversion layer for efficiency improvement in solar cells. A significant relative improvement in conversion efficiency using SiOx/SRN layers in solar cells has been reported in our earlier work. In this paper, we present detailed synthesis process, characterization and analysis of SiN films. Characterization results and solar cell measurements indicate that the observed photoluminescence at 577nm in visible range in selected films along is responsible for improvement in conversion efficiency through down-conversion of high energy solar photons.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2006-07 to study the effect of tillage practices (Zero and conventional tillage) and six weed control methods against weedy check on yield, weed dynamics and economics of wheat grown in rice-wheat sequence. Zero tillage increased the weed intensity by 20.3% reduced the grain yield by 4.2% net profit by 2.8% compared to conventional tillage. Among weed control methods, Pendimethalin @ 500 g.a.i./ha + one hand weeding being at par with 2, 4-D@ 500 g a.i./ha + Isoproturon @ 500 g a.i./ha produced significantly higher grain and straw yield than other weed control methods. These yields were attributed to higher growth and yield attributes in above weed control methods. The application of pendimethalin @ 500 g a.i./ha + one hand weeding showed highest weed control efficiency of 76.89% and gross income of Rs. 58864/ha. However, net profit was maximum of Rs. 35675/ha under application of 2,4-D @ 500 g a.i./ha + Isoproturon @ 500 g a.i./ha closely followed by pendimethalin @ 500 g a.i./ha + one hand weeding with Rs. 35130/ha. Single application of 2,4-D or Isoproturon or Pendimethalin at recommended doses reduced the yields and profit than combined application of any two herbicides at half of the recommended dose.Keywords

In addition to being the world’s first cloned buffalo born in the field, this is also India’s first cloned calf of Assamese buffalo; earlier only Murrah breed of buffaloes was cloned. A small tail tissue of Assamese buffalo was airlifted from the College of Veterinary Science, Guwahati (which is 2000 km away from our cloning laboratory) to establish the cultures of donor cells. This proves that distant and remote animals can be cloned. A singlet method of embryo reconstruction has been used, with one recipient oocyte instead of two (a standard Indian version of animal cloning method). It is a step towards simplification of animal cloning technique, and this approach can reduce the mitochondrial heteroplasmy in cloned calves. Ovaries of Murrah buffalo were used as a source of recipient oocytes, indicating that oocytes from one breed of buffaloes can reprogramme donor cells of other breeds. Also, the Murrah buffalo can serve as a surrogate mother for other buffalo breeds.Full Text

To assess the nature and magnitude of genetic diversity in long day onion germplasm by using the principal component analysis and single linkage cluster analysis an experiment was carried out with 34 onion genotypes. High coefficient of variation with wide range in traits indicated an appreciable variability in germplasm. Genotypes were classified into seven principal components having Eigen value > 1, cumulatively accounted for 83.87% of total variability. Principal Component - I contributed for 24.73% of total variation for followed by principal component-II (15.27%). PC-I had high positive loading for bulb weight (0.401), marketable yield (0.338), total bulb yield (0.401) and PC-II had high positive loading for plant height (0.412), PC-III for high T.S.S. (0.276) PC -IV for A grade bulbs (0.436), PC-V for polar diameter of bulbs (0.514), PC-IV negatively loaded with purple blotch (-0.461) and PC-VII for narrow neck thickness (-0.515). Plotting PC-I aganist PC-II differenciated CITH-O-13, CITH-O-4, CITH-O-22, CITH-O-19, CITH-O-9, CITH-O-6 and CITH-O2 as most divergent genotype.On the basis of single linkage cluster means cluster-I was most importent for average bulb weight, minimum bolters, high marketble bulb percentage high marketable and total bulb yield whereas cluster -II was important for maximum nuber of leaves/plant and minimum neck thicknes. Highest inter-cluster distance was observed between cluter II and Cluster-I(873.5%).Most divergent genotypes with high inter cluter distance could be the most appropriate parents for crop impovement in onion.Keywords
