A socio-economic study was conducted in four villages of Karbi Anglong District of Assam. Cent percent households were surveyed. Sex ratio (females per 1000 males) was found very high among the shifting cultivators. Literacy rate and annual income and saving is very low among the shifting cultivators. It is revealed that overall socio-economic condition of the shifting cultivators is very poor. Better educational levels and adequate efficient infrastructural facilities will provide impetus to the positive growth of socio-economics of the shifting cultivators. In addition to this, sustainable land use system like agro-forestry and forest based industry, cash crops, etc. can be introduced in the jhum area. It will not only improve the ecology of the area but also will help in upliftment of shifting cultivators.- Soil Characteristics under Three Different Plant Communities of North-East India

The present study highlights the physico-chemical properties of soils under three different plant communities. In natural forest the soil was sandy loam in texture and was more acidic in nature in comparison to jhum fallow. Total N, available P, organic C and exchangeable Ca, Mg and K were found to be high in natural forest followed by bamboo forest and jhum fallow respectively. The concentration of all the nutrients were fairly high in upper soil layers and gradually decrease with soil depth. Due to the high rate of leaching, exchangeable calcium in lower soil depths was found to be high in bamboo forest and jhum fallow.- Soil Vegetation Relationship Studies in some Selected Tree Species of Mudumalai Forest Division

Present paper envisages information on the influence of climate, soil and topographic factors for the growth and distribution of three important tree species namely Anogeissus latifolia, Terminalia tomentosa and Tectona grandis in Mudumalai Forest Division of Tamil Nadu. T. tomentosa was found suitable in regions having > 1525 mm of annual rainfall, whereas A. latifolia and T. grandis performed well in the relatively lesser rainfall areas as well. T. tomentosa prefers very deep soils (> 120 cm) whereas good growth and density of T. grandis and A. latifolia were recorded on moderately deep soils. Density and growth of T. grandis was higher on medium textured soils whereas the density of A. latifolia was not affected by coarse textured soils. Higher growth and density of T. tomentosa was associated with poor P2O5 K2O and Mg contents of the soil. A. latifolia and T. grandis were found on soil rich in Ca and Mg. Soils rich in organic carbon and CEC occurred under better growth and density of teak.- Distribution of Teak under Different Silvo-climatic Conditions in some Parts of Western Ghats

Present work was an attempt to study the influence of climatic, physiographic and edaphic factors on the growth and distrihution of Teak (Tectono grandis) in the eastern slope of western ghats. Based on soil analytical and teak density data obtained during the survey of Mudumalai Wildlife sanctuary and Coimbatore Forest Division in Tamil Nadu it was observed that, in general, teak prefers moderately deep, well drained. Medium textured soil, moderate temperature and gentle slopes. The data also suggest that high to very high teak density sites have relatively higher organic carbon; exchangeable calcium and cation exchangeable capacity.- A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Inhaled Corticosteroid/Long-Acting Beta Agonist Combination and Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life Among COPD Patients on this Therapy

Background: Do combined inhalers offer additional benefits or harms in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease compared with the bronchodilator alone? The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of inhaled corticosteroid/long acting beta agonist combination and to assess the health related quality of life among COPD patients. Methods: A prospective, comparative study was conducted in department of Pulmonary Medicine, Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala. A total of 80 patients were enrolled, and randomly allocated in two groups with 40 patients in each group. In group 1- Budesonide/formoterol (200/6 µg or 400/6 µg), and in group 2- Fluticasone/salmeterol (250/50 µg) was prescribed. The effectiveness was evaluated by assessing exacerbation rate, and breathlessness Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) grade. Health related quality of life was assessed using St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). All the observations thus made were statistically analyzed using chi-square test and t-test. Results: In present study, male patients (n=63) were more than female patients (n=17). In group 1 significant improvement was observed in breathlessness mMRC grade between visit 0 and 2nd (x2 = 8.50, p=0.004), and between visit 1st and 2nd (x2 = 7.24, p=0.007). Similarly, among group 2, significant improvement was seen in mMRC grade between visit 0 and 2nd (x2 = 8.39, p=0.004), and between visit 1st and 2nd (x2 = 5.05, p=0.025). But, no significant difference was seen between group 1 and 2 mMRC grade (p > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between group 1 and group 2 exacerbation episodess (x2 = 2.13,p>0.05). In SGRQ mean total score, no significant difference was present between group 1 and 2 (p>0.05). Conclusions: Budesonide Formoterol (BFC) and Fluticasone Salmeterol (FSC) belongs to same group of drug class i.e. inhaled corticosteroid with long acting beta agonist combination and are used to treat exacerbations in moderate to severe COPD patients. BFC and FSC are equally effective in present study.

Objectives: Present manuscript deals with the study of wear performance of nickel superalloys namely Superni-76 and Superni750-X, by means of two bodies dry sliding wear method. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The wear performance of the superalloys was noted in as received conditions and after oxidizing the sample at 900°C for 50 hours. Hardened steel balls were used as abrasive body to evaluate the wear volume in each as received and oxidized samples. Findings: The wear volume was calculated with respect to time and sliding distance and graphs were plotted for both the superalloys. The weight change and types of oxides formed after oxidation were identified by XRD and EDX/EDS analysis. The wear surface was also characterised by using FE-SEM/EDS analysis to ascertain the mechanism of wear in the samples. From various characterisation results and observations of volume loss, the effect of oxidation was analysed for these superalloys. Oxidation affects the wear behaviour of nickel based superalloys. The wear mechanism changes due to increase in hardness and brittleness after high temperature exposure. Application/Improvements: It has been found that the oxidation phenomenon leads to the formation of very fine oxide scale on the superalloys. This oxide layer especially in case of Hastelloy-X (Superni-76) was responsible for the improvement in the wear resistance despite of some initial fast volume loss.Keywords

Capsicum hybrid Mekong was grown under naturally ventilated polyhouse during summer season of 2012 atVegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. Planting was done in two rows on 0.9 m wide bed leaving 60 cm path between two beds following the spacing of 60 cm × 30 cm (S1) and 45 cm × 30 cm (S2), with double (T1), three (T2) and four (T3) stems and fertilized (F1) twice a week and (F2) thrice a week. The data were analyzed statistically following Factorial Randomized BlockDesign. The result revealed that the plant height, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit breadth, pericarp thickness were significantly more in S1T1F2 treatment. The number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant, yield/ m2 and benefit cost ratio was significantly superior in S1T3F2 treatment. While there was no significant effect of spacing, training and fertigation levels on days to 50 per cent flowering, days to first harvest, harvest duration and shelf life at room temperature.Keywords

Background: Hypertension(HTN) is a major cardiovascular disease and is a major worldwide clinical problem. The prevalence of hypertension increases in urban and rural areas. The treatment of hypertension began in the 1960s with oral diuretics. The other modalities of treatment of hypertension are beta – blockers, calcium-channel blockers, alphareceptors blockers, ACE inhibitors and ARBs. The better compliance occurs with single-pill combination, and may be even double or even triple pill combination therapy should be used. Also quality of life was improved better with Metoprolol and Telmisartan as compared with Metoprolol and Ramipril. Quality of life was assessed by SF -36 Quiestionnare. Objective: To compare the effect of Metoprolol and Telmisartan versus Metoprolol and Ramipril on BP and quality of life in patients of hypertension. Material and Methods: In this prospective, open, randomized, parallel group, comparative study, 80 patients of hypertension attending the Cardiology Outpatient Department, Govt. Medical College & Rajindra Hospital, Patiala were recruited. This randomized comparative study was done on 80 patients for 4 months. Quality of Life: In my project of Quality of life, I had taken total 80 patients and the patients were divided into two groups and 40 patients each of Metoprolol and Ramipril versus Metoprolol and Telmisartan. To assess quality of life questionnaire SF-36 was administered to the patients. Results: There was a marked decrease in SBP and DBP with the use of Metoprolol and Telmisartan than Metoprolol and Ramipril. There was also no change in demographic parameters. There was significant improvement in the quality of life with Metoprolol and Telmisartan. Conclusion: Metoprolol and Telmisartan was a better choice than Metoprolol and Ramipril in treating hypertension as this combination causes more reduction in BP and little effect on HR.
