It is imperative that the world farmlands turn out to be the frontline for the battle to feed the projected 9 billion population globally. The deleterious effects of climate change on food security can be counteracting by broad-based agriculture development particularly enhanced crop diversification to mitigate farmer risk about complete destruction of crop that will overcome the impacts of climate change. It will also lead to benefits like improved food security besides improving soil nutrients. Therefore, a field trial was conducted. The experimental results revealed that application of 100% NPK with PSB and Zn in paired planted mashbean accumulated significantly more dry matter than rest of the treatment combinations, whereas normal planted mashbean intercropped with maize recorded maximum total uptake (8.15%) than 100% NPK alone. Likewise in maize similar trends were observed in dry matter and protein content. Moreover, application of 100% NPK alone with PSB and Zn on normal planted sole maize was brought significant improvement in organic carbon and potassium. However, nitrogen recorded higher under paired planted maize+mashbean. Though, normal (50 cm) planted maize+mashbean resulted significantly higher B:C ratio (2.73) at same fertility level.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2013 on sandy loam soil. The experiment aimed to evaluate the performance of hybrid maize with urdbean and mungbean under different planting patterns. In this investigation, 9 treatment combinations viz., maize with normal (1:1), paired (2:2) and strip (3:3) planted urdbean (Vigna mungo) and mungbean (Vigna radiata) along with all the three crops in their sole stands were tested in randomized block design with 3 replications. The study revealed that strip planted maize+urdbean (3:3) being on par with maize+mungbean (3:3) recorded significantly highest values of growth parameters, nodulation habitat, yield attributes and yield of maize in terms of grain yield (45.6 q/ha) and stover yield (77.8 q/ha), except phenological parameters and mortality %. In terms of protein in maize grains and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in grains and stover, strip (3:3) planted maize proved its superiority over sole and normal (1:1) planted maize. Likewise, in intercrops, all the growth parameters, yields, nutrients content and protein yield were statistically superior in their sole as compared to normal (1:1), paired (2:2) and strip (3:3) planting with maize, except plant height.Keywords

Practically, every nation packages its history and heritage as a tourism product to attract international tourists and simultaneously adopts promotional strategies. The UNESCO's policy of declaring certain historical sites as World Heritage Sites has not only helped in the conservation of local history and monuments but has provided a major boost to promote such sites as something unique and special whose importance is reflected because of the site being declared as World Heritage Site. A prominent feature of this policy has been the achievement of worldwide prominence for local and national sites. India, with its extremely rich History and Culture, today has 29 World Heritage Sites whereas many more remain in the queue for achieving that status. All these sites have been major tourist attractions for both domestic as well as international tourism and in many cases even before they were given the World Heritage status.
This paper attempts to analyse the aspects related to product rejuvenation for these sites in terms of their marketing and promotional strategies. It also discusses the threats and obstacles faced in the promotion of these sites with emphasis on international marketing. It was also attempted to compare between the cities of Agra and Delhi, with the former having the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and nearby Fatehpur Sikri while the later having the Red Fort, Qutab Minar and Humayun Tomb. It is expected that the SWOT analysis carried out in this paper will be beneficial for all players in the heritage tourism sector, i.e., the local communities, tourists, national governments and segments of the tourism industry.

Security at a destination has always been a major factor in destination choice. However, till a few years back the security factors taken into consideration by the tourists would include mugging, petty crimes like theft, pickpocketing, etc. as the tourists' life was not endangered even at the worst politically instable destinations. Such concerns had a minimal impact on tourism forecasts as to some extent most of the destinations suffer from one or the other. Today, the security concerns have undergone a thorough change because of global terrorism. This paper after citing some attacks on tourist destinations and their impacts on tourists' mobility and choice takes into account the need for incorporating certain preventive measures against terrorism in planning for tourism in different areas. It further raises the issue of bearing the costs in this regard.Keywords

This paper introduces the elements of the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) innovation and future utilizations of WiMAX. It is a connection oriented wireless network that assures Quality of Service (QoS) for all users in the network. By comparing WiMAX with the popular Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE in the market, it analyzes the current situation and future development trend of WiMAX in terms of the difference in technology and applications. WiMAX will become the most prominent technology for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA). The next generation WMAN networks, using the WiMAX as the core technology is evolving as a 4G technology for providing ubiquitous computing solutions. In not a similar way like wireless LANs, WiMAX networks integrate various QoS mechanism at the Media Access Control (MAC) level for secured service for voice, data and video. The unique architecture of the WiMAX MAC and PHY layer that uses OFDMA to allocate multiple channels with different modulation schemes. A few references have been incorporated towards the completion of this paper for those eager to know in brief about certain points.Keywords
