Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary is an important breeding site for Grey Pelican. The number of pelicans arriving at NBS vary from year to year. The number of birds visiting NBS and quantity of rainfall received was studied for the last 10 years. It indicates positive relationship between number of birds visiting NBS and quantity of rainfall received. Study also shows relation between the success of breeding and quantity of rainfall received. However it also reveals that the number of birds arriving NBS is not totally dependent on rainfall and further studies are required. However success of breeding is directly proportional to the quantity of rainfall received.

On the basis of fuzzy sets introduced by L.A. Zadeh, we first gave the definition of α-fuzzy set and then defined α-fuzzy subgroups and α-fuzzy normal subgroups and finally, defined quotient group of the α-fuzzy cosets of an α-fuzzy normal subgroup. This paper proves a necessary and sufficient condition of α-fuzzy subgroup (normal subgroup) to be fuzzy subgroup (normal subgroup). Some properties of quotient group of α-fuzzy normal subgroups are also discussed.

The author have already introduced the notion of α-fuzzy set, α-anti fuzzy set and (α, β)-fuzzy set in a group and studied their properties in [5], [6] and [7] respectively. In this paper, we introduced the notion of (α, β)-anti fuzzy set and subsequently study (α, β)-anti fuzzy subgroup (normal subgroup) and their related properties. We have also obtained a natural homomorphism from the group G to the set of all (α, β)-anti fuzzy cosets of the (α, β)-anti normal subgroup of the group G. Finally, the behaviour of these (α, β)-anti fuzzy subgroups (normal subgroups) under group homomorphism have been discussed.

Andhra Pradesh Forest Department undertook inventorisation of forest resources using Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS. 6916 sample points were generated using stratified random sampling technique duly considering forest type and forest 3 canopy density maps. The results show that the growing stock (GS) of the notified forests in AP is 232.08 M million and the stem density is 179 trees/Ha. Area under bamboo is 16.1% of the notified forest area numbering 2053.91 million in different age classes. Health of forests has been assessed in terms of status of regeneration, incidences of fire, illicit felling, grazing, weeds, pests, grasses and soil erosion. Forest soils have been assessed in terms of soil depth, stoniness, humus, organic carbon and pH. Comparison with earlier studies shows that there is quantitative as well as qualitative depletion in the growing stock in last 3 dacades. There is more GS in lower diameter classes and less in higher diameter classes. Large area of forest is deficient in regeneration and is affected by soil erosion. Thematic maps on 18 parameters have been generated division wise.Keywords

The Siwalik front has been lifted up 60-90 m against the Holocene IndoGangetic plains. The movements on the Himalayan Frontal Fault are evident from 6-15° northward tilting of Late Pleistocene Dun Gravel, and spectacular incised meanders in streams breaking through the hill barrier, and uplift in three episodic phases of the fluvial terraces resting on the tilted Dun Gravel.In southeastern Kumaun, dextral strike-slip movement on an active fault has caused 6 km westward deflection of the Kali (Sharada) River from its consistently southerly course. Movements of fault blocks in the Siwalik domain have given rise to minor horsts and grabens, and caused blocking of streams and rivers, leading to fonnation of lakes now represented by intramontane fluviolacustrine terraces.
The Main Boundary Thrust registers variable neotectonic movements. While the Lesser Himalaya rides over the Lower Siwalik, lifting (by 70 m) the recent fluvial deposits of the Ladhiya River in the east. it is the Siwalik that has risen up relative to the Lesser Himalaya in the central and western sectors. The amount of displacement of the fluvial terraces and colluvial cones is of the order of 40 to 30 m in the Nainital area and 30 to 10 m in the Mandal valley.
Quaternary episodic movements have rejuvenated the old mature topography of the Lesser Himalaya. Movements on faults and thrusts in the southern belt are evident from abrupt narrowing in the fault zones into deep gorges of wide meandering streams, development of cascades and knickpoints and triggering of huge debris avalanches on steepened slopes. Damming of streams by colluvial cones and fans have resulted in the formation of lakes in the Bhawali-Shyamkhet area, east of Nainital.

Let E be a free product of finite number of cyclic groups, and S a normal subgroup of E such that E/S ≅ G is finite. For a prime p, S = S/S′Sp = ̅S/p̅S may be regarded as FpG-module. Whenever E is a free group S is called relation module (modulo p) of G; in general S is called relative relation module (modulo p). The aim of this paper is to describe certain relative relation modules of SL(2, p) and PSL(2, p). Here we discuss the cases when S is FpG-faithful.Keywords

The article deals with some aspects of ethnobotany of "Pahari" community living in Basohli-Bani region of Jammu and Kashmir State ; it had so far remained unrecorded due to inaccessibility of the area. A combination of sub-tropical and temperate climate has considerable effect on its vegetation and also the inhabitants. The uses of 39 plant species are recorded in this communication. Yams are of common occurrence in this region and are reputed not only as edible but also in home remedies against swellings due to sprains or wounds. The medicinal uses of Rosularia alpestris and Viburnum grandiflorum are reported for the first time.Full Text

The article deals with the plants used by the Padaris a hill community of Padar, bodering the states of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. The inhabitants being cut off from the modern society for most part of the year due to lack of proper communication, have been dependent on vegetal resources. However, the age old traditional cultural pattern is being gradually modified due to the influence of neighbouring urban centres like kishtwar in J & K and Pangi valley in Himachal Pradesh. Apart from the common uses of plants for food, fodder and medicine, this region is also known for witchcrafts using many plants. Ethnobotanical data on 68 species, 38 of which are used as food, 24 as ethnomedicinals and 6 in magico-religious lore are presented.Full Text

Watching television (TV) has become an integral part of everyday life of people. All members of family, children to elderly like to watch TV channels of their choice. Some get addicted to it to such an extent that they would not like to miss a serial of their choice. Religious channels are favourite of older people, while Doremon, Pogo, Nick are favourite channels for children. To take advantage of the availability of target audience on these channels marketers include advertisements of their products which include food products like chocolates, biscuits, so called health drinks like Dew, Mazza, soft drinks like Pepsi, Coca Cola, tasty foods like cheesy pizza with double layer of cheese, Mayonnaise, Maggie, McDonald, KFC and many more of such type of products without considering whether the product is good for the target viewer or is unhealthy or harmful, till the demand is in flair. For greater impact advertisers promote food products associating with a healthy child or a slim women or a well-built man. For some products a celebrity is roped in. There is a well known saying in India that "We are, What We Eat". This is proving correct in the present scenario as people appear to have forgotten the essence of 'simple eating and long living'.Keywords

Surveys conducted during 1985-91 on cauliflower, cabbage and knol-khol yielded thirteen species of coccinellid predators on nymphs and adults of the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (Linn.), a serious pest of cole crops in the mid-hill regions of Himachal Pradesh. Among the frequently occurring species, adults of Adonia variegata (Goeze) were the first to resume activity by first week of February followed by Coccinella septempunctata Linn. in the first week of March, while most other coccinellids were active during the last week of March or later. C. septempunctata was the most abundant species accounting for 47.3 per cent of the adult count, followed by A. variegata (26.2%). The hyperparasitoid, Oomyzus scaposus (Thompson) (-Tetrastichus coccinellae Kurdj.) (Hymenoptera, Eulophldae) was recorded on the coccinellid predators during May-June. C. septempunctata was more voracious than A. variegata and Adalia tetraspilota Hope. The average consumption by C. septempunctata grub, was 323 and that of adults 3890 aphids.

Interest in serum triglyceride concentrations in health and disease has been greatly stimulated since it has been shown that hyperlipemia may not only accelerate blood clotting, but also increase blood viscosity as well as producing increased-adhesiveness and aggregation of red blood cells. Close correlation has recently been shown between raised fasting serum triglyceride levels and the prevalence of ischaemic heart diseases by Albrink and Man. It has also been shown that variations in both the fat and carbohydrate composition of the diet may rapidly produce distinct changes in serum triglyceride concentrations with only-slight immediate effects on serum cholesterol and phospholipid levels.- Effect of Raw and Boiled Garlic on Blood Cholesterol in Butter Fat Lipaemia

A solar-powered vending cart was designed and developed for storage of fruits and vegetables. It was tested for its performance during summer season. The minimum and maximum drop in temperature ranged between 8.1°C and 11.2°C, and the increase in relative humidity was observed to be up to 15% and 25% inside the vending card chamber in June. The requirement of water ranged between 16.5 and 20.0 litre/day. There was considerable effect on physiological loss in weight of different vegetables kept either inside or outside the mobile chamber. The freshness and shelflife of vegetables increased substantially after storage in the cart.Keywords

In the past mobile robot research was often focused to various kinds of point-to-point tasks. An original path tracking controller for a vision-based automated guided vehicle. The SCARA word stands for Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm. Reducing the positioning errors of a SCARA manipulator during the execution of a motion along a given trajectory the controller is used. Service tasks, such as floor cleaning, require specific approaches for path planning and vehicle guidance in real inside areas like homes, offices and industries. The paper will discusses automatic planning of a feasible cleaning path considering a 2D-MAP as well as kinematic and geometric robot model. Path construction makes use of two typical motion patterns. Each pattern is defined by a sequence of sub goals indicating robot position and orientation. If obstacles permanently block the preplanned path, an automatic map update and path replanning is performed.Keywords

In the capitalist and highly industrial world, every major city has sanitation problem. Urbanization is challenged with evolving population as explosive; as the problem of sanitation is more serious than it appears to be, linked with various types of problems like socio-economic, health and hygiene etc. In Industrial towns, the most elementary traditions of municipal services are absent, slums faces problems related to open drainage, lack of water supply and lack of waste management. As per census of India 2011, access to sanitation is highly adequate in the urban areas , (19% of urban poor slums) where people defecate in the open, beside railway tracks etc and 42% have toilets but without flush all resulting to poor sanitation and various health problems. UNICEF 2006 report states - that as per India's national Urban Sanitation Policy - there is loss of Rs.500 crore due to disease caused by poor sanitation for children under 14 yrs. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) extends to access to improved sanitation to at least urban population by 2015, where as GOI- defines waste management as the generation, prevention, characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling resue and residual disposal of solid waste, but against it the Indian municipalities are responsible for collecting, sweeping, storage and disposal of waste.These challenges are faced by urban cities regarding slums and waste disposal. As India is marching for Swachchh Bharat Mission not only proper disposal of waste is required but also a need for Nirmal State is mandatory( toilets in every house hold)
The study focuses on the Nagar Nigam of Bhilai with the objective of awaring residents for the use of latrines (under IHHL scheme) and strategies opted by state Govt. And Waste management of the concerned areas.

In this paper an attempt has been made to define the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy order of an element in intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup. Here we prove that every element of a group and its inverse have the same intuitionistic fuzzy order. We also define the order of intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup and prove the Lagrange's Theorem in the intuitionistic fuzzy case. Some properties of the intuitionistic fuzzy order of an element has been discussed.Keywords

A novel series of substituted pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized from substituted hydrazine derivatives and ethoxy (methylene)malanonitrile gives an intermediate (5-amino-1- substituted phenyl pyrazole-4- carbonitrile) (1) which on further react with formic acid, acetic acid/HCl and formamide gives series of (1- substituted phenyl) H pyrazole [3,4-d] pyrimidine-4(5H)-one (2). The synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral data. Furthermore, these newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Compounds PP-6A, PP-2B, PP- 3B and PP-5C showed significant antibacterial activity.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to count the microbial population at different depths and season. Soil samples were collected at 0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm depths from the two sites viz. BHU research farm for normal soils and Sushuwahi village of Varanasi district for sodic soils in all three season viz. winter, rainy and summer season for study of variation in microbial population such as bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, Azotobacter and Pseudomonas. The physico-chemical and microbial properties of soil do not remain constant as seasonal variation. Soil depth and environmental conditions, directly affect the population of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, Azotobacter and Pseudomonas in soils. Increasing soil depth decreases the microbial population due to certain limit of physico-chemical behavior of soils.

Measurement is one of the most important and critical activity in any process. People take important decisions based on the measurement. The decision to pass or reject a critical component e.g. in automobile or decision to administer suitable amount of dose to a critical patient primarily, depends on measurement. Quality of a process is ensured only by proper measurement & controls. Measurement needs to be accurate, repeatable with a known uncertainty and confidence. Fidelity of the measurement is ensured by proper & timely calibration. Hence, both measurement & calibration are equally importantfor the Quality of a process. This article covers various aspects of Measurement & calibration viz. Basics, Calibration process, Traceability and Uncertainty with a special emphasis on Electro-technical parameters.- Residual Quotient and Annihilator of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets of Ring and Module

In this paper, we introduce the concept of residual quotient of intuitionistic fuzzy subsets of ring and module and then define the notion of residual quotient intuitionistic fuzzy submodules , residual quotient intuitionistic fuzzy ideals. We study many properties of residual quotient relating to union, intersection, sum of intuitionistic fuzzy submodules (ideals). Using the concept of residual quotient, we investigate some important characterization of intuitionistic fuzzy annihilator of subsets of ring and module. We also study intuitionistic fuzzy prime submodules with the help of intuitionistic fuzzy annihilators. Many related properties are defined and discussed.Keywords

Preserving fruits and vegetables in cold storage has been a critical area of concern because at low temperature, these perishable commodities can be preserved in their wholesome state for longer periods. However, the absence of cold storage facilities to accommodate the ever-increasing supply of fruits and vegetables has compelled the producers to adopt alternative storage practices; practices that in effect would preferably be economical than renting space in cold store and more efficient than rustic storage producers.Full Text

India has a vast potential of solar energy availability for about 300 sunny days in a year. It has an estimated potential of solar energy of approximately 5 x 1015 kWh/yr, which is far more than the total energy consumption of the country. Even a part of this, if appropriately harnessed, will be able to meet a sizable portion of the demand. The daily average incident solar energy varies from 4 to 7 kWh/m2 depending on the location.Full Text

A field experiment was conducted for three successive years from 2006 to 2009 to assess the effect of tillage (conventional, conservation and zero tillage) and nitrogen management (recommended, 125 % of recommended and 150 % of recommended nitrogen) on late sown wheat due to introduction of short season radish crop in between two crops of maizewheat cropping system. Conservation tillage used 10.2 % less water than conventional and zero tillage and increased WUE by 35.8 per cent. It also resulted in significantly higher grain yield compared to conventional and zero tillage (about 13 and 22 %). The application of 125 % of recommended nitrogen increased water use efficiency by 17 % than recommended nitrogen. Further increase to 150 % of recommended nitrogen increased WUE by 6 %.The application of 150 % of recommended nitrogen resulted in significantly higher grain yield (17 %) than recommended nitrogen.Keywords

The world energy crisis has now given importance to solar energy utilization, research and development programmes all over the world. The sun is the largest fusion reactor known to mankind which supplies about 1000 times more energy than we need each day in the form of electromagnetic radiations. In order to harness solar energy, a dark surface is exposed to solar radiation so that it is absorbed1. Two main approaches currently in use to harness solar energy are converting it to electricity by photovoltaic approach and converting it to thermal energy by solar thermal conversion. The simplest and most efficient way to utilize solar energy is to convert it into thermal energy for heating applications. The economic feasibility of solar energy utilization depends upon its efficient collection, conservation and storage. The efficient utilization of solar energy for heating, cooling and process applications requires the use of flat-plate or even focusing collector systems which first receive, as much as possible, the incoming solar radiation and then deliver a large fraction of the thermal energy to the working fluid2. The flat-plate collector is the key component of any solar energy system.Full Text

A survey was conducted to study the prostigmatid predatory mites in different agro climatic zones of Himachal Pradesh. Plant samples collected from agriculturally important crops showed presence of predatory mites belonging to five families and six genera. Eight species, viz., Agistemus sp. nr. edulis, A. industani Gonzalez-Rodriguez, A. javanicum Gupta, A. lakoocha Gupta, Pronematus sextoni Baker, Paraerythraeus delhiensis Khot, Tydeus gossabaensis Gupta and T. ornamentalicus Gupta was reported for the first time from Himachal Pradesh. Distribution of prostigmatid predatory mites revealed that they were more diverse in Zone-I and Zone-II, whereas in Zone-III and IV unrelated species were recorded. P. sextoni established as dominant (15.90) species in the entire collection followed by eleven species, which were sub-dominant, and Pronematus delhiensis was recorded as sub-recident (0.75).Keywords

latest International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) versions (viz. IRI-2007, IRI-2012 and IRI-2016) with TEC derived by the International GNSS Service (IGS) receivers at a low-latitude station, namely Pathum Wan, Thailand (code-CUSV; lat. 13.74°N, long. 100.54°E) during the twin solar maxima 2012 and 2014, and the solar minima 2017 of the 24th solar cycle. We observed that the modelled TEC results were slightly underestimated than those derived by global positioning system (GPS), during the maxima and minima periods. It was also observed that the modelled TEC and GPS TEC followed a similar sinusoidal pattern with crests in the equinox months and troughs in the solstice months. We calculated standard deviation of the modelled TEC from the corresponding GPS TEC during the period. The study shows that the IRI model is more suitable when applied during solar minima period. We also carried out correlation study between modelled TEC and GPS TEC, and obtained a moderate degree of positive correlation. Thus we can conclude that IRI-2007 is the most suitable version for the twin solar maxima and the minima periods. Also IRI-2016 is the most suitable model for TEC estimation during geomagnetic storms.Keywords
