Gregarious flowering in bamboo is a very rare natural phenomenon. The average time span between two such flowerings in Bambusa arundinacea is 50 years. But the data on this account is very staggered and insufficient. Observations on the gregarious flowering was taken for each forest block for a period of three years from 2006-2009. Based on the field observations, an effort has been made to document and map the gregarious flowering of this species in Khurda Forest Division, Orissa. The bamboo forests of Nayagarh district flowered gregariously, while the bamboo clumps in Berberra forests of Khurda district, did not flower during the period. This variation is in conformity with the earlier gregarious flowering reported in this division.Keywords

Awareness of the physical location for each node is required by many wireless sensor network applications. The location awareness is required by many sensor network applications, but it is often too expensive to include GPS receiver in a sensor network node. Therefore, Localization schemes make use of the Seed nodes that knows their location and protocols, thereby other nodes estimate their positions from the messages they received from it. The crux part is estimating the location of the mobile nodes and seeds keeping in mind all the constraints of the sensor nodes (energy, network, memory etc.,). Although mobility appears to make localization difficult, we adapt sequential Monte carlo Localization method along with minimum spanning tree concept to prove efficient localization. This approach does not need any extra hardware on the nodes and seeds even when the movement of seeds are uncontrollable.Keywords

The purpose of localization in Wireless Sensor Network is to establish the position of the nodes at a particular point of time as the nodes are mobile. Locating information is not only used to realize it s position but it can also be used to increase outing capabilities and load balancing of network. This paper proposes the combination of clock algorithm and rectangle truncation (RT) localization algorithm for locating objects even in a fading-signal sensor environment. The paper further presents a location verification mechanism to increase the accuracy and consistency of the estimated object location. It can be classified as low power algorithm as it does not need any special hardware and the computations are minimized.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is marked by the sudden death of an infant during sleep that is not predicted by the medical history and remains unexplained even after thorough forensic autopsy and detailed death investigation. In this we developed a system that provides solutions for the above problems by making the crib smart using the wireless sensor networks (WSN) and smart phones. The system provides visual monitoring service through live video, alert services by crib fencing and awakens alert, monitoring services by temperature reading and light intensity reading, vaccine reminder and weight monitoring.Keywords

The aim of this work is to examine the performance of gelatin based edible coating in preserving the seer fish slices. A composite edible coating solution was prepared with three different concentrations of gelatin, chitosan and vinegar. Coating experiments were performed in a laboratory scale edible coating tank which was fabricated for this purpose. The seer fish slices (13.65±2.50 mm thick and 43.89±6.82 g weight) were subjected to coating for three different soaking times (min). While coating performance of the solution was assessed through coating uptake (%), texture quality of the seer fish slices was assessed through weight loss (%) and microbial quality was assessed through Total Plate Count (CFU/g). Experiment was designed using Box-Behnken Design (BBD). The application of edible coating treatment to seer fish slices resulted in improvement of overall keeping quality of the seer fish slices (9 days) against the control (3 days) when stored under low temperature (7±1°C).Keywords
