The epidemiological factors viz. inoculum density, inoculum age, inoculum depth and soil moisture affected the ischolar_main rot development in Jatropha. The inoculum density of 20 g kg-1 soil resulted in 42.22 per cent pre emergence mortality (PEM) and 23.15 per cent post emergence mortality (POEM). The highest PEM (37.78 %) and POEM (21.48 %) were recorded in five days old culture. Inoculum depth at 5 cm induced 42.22 per cent and 30.55 per cent PEM and POEM, respectively. Irrigation schedule at 20 days interval showed maximum PEM (41.66 %) and POEM (34.92 %).Keywords

Exogenous application of auxins promoted ischolar_main formation in cuttings taken from one-year old branches of Punica granatum and Dalbergia sissoo under controlled conditions. All the concentrations of IBA, 10,000 and 15,000 mg/l of IAA and 2,000 mg/l of NAA were most effective when applied as quick dip method. Auxins not only enhanced ischolar_main formation but also increased the number of ischolar_mains per cutting and average ischolar_main length.- Management of Root Rot of Jatropha Caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria

The ischolar_main rot of Jatropha caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola is an important disease. An experiment was conducted invitroand in vivoto evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting bacteria against R. bataticola. The study revealed that Pseudomonas fluorescens caused the maximum growth inhibition (48.9%) followed by Pseudomonas maltophilia (46.7%) and Bacillus subtilis (38.9%). The seed germination percentage improved substantially in all the treatments involving PGPRs. Among different co-inoculations of PGPRs and pathogen, minimum pre-emergence mortality (31.1%) and post-emergence mortality (9.7%) and maximum seedling survival (40.78%)was observed with P. fluorescens.Keywords

Tourism is one of the favourite pastimes of tourists from across the world and is rated as the most important tourist segments all over the world. It has diversified into various products and packages. Costal tourism is recognized as a highly valuable revenue earner. India's coastal areas have a huge economic potential and they attract tourists from all over the world due to immense scenic beauty. Obviously, this fastest growing industry also has an impact on local development and related environment, e.g. the marine environment is put under immense pressure by this. Healthy and sustainable coastal tourism requires attractive, safe and functional recreational beaches, clean coastal waters and healthy coastal eco-systems.The present paper aims on what need to be done to move towards more sustainable coastal tourism. The important actors recognized for this are training of frontline service workers for improving the performance of "emotional labour", exploiting the food and beverage segment in context with Indian FMCG industry. Finally, a cybernetic model has been suggested for effective communication and control of the major activities related to Indian coastal tourism. The model suggest to divide the Indian coastal activities into various modules based on the geographical topography and considers the effectiveness of information flow-and particularly, the nature of filters and relative time lags around these module loops. The recursive characteristic of the model makes it competent for any such related activities. It is believed that the present paper will be highly useful to understand the role of various underlying actors necessary to achieve sustainable coastal tourism in India.

An analysis of 2074 papers published on different aspects of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) during 1991 to 2010 and indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded indicates that the output increased many folds since 1991 except for a significant dip in 2005. These papers were scattered in 501 journal titles, which originated from 29 different countries. Total output came from 62 countries of which 14 countries contributed 90% of the total output. The highest number of publications came from USA, followed by India. The publication activity increased significantly in China, South Korea, France, Austria, Singapore, Germany and decreased for Japan in the second block. Data indicates that about 87% of the total output is concentrated among 15 sub-disciplines and the remaining in other 53 sub-disciplines. Highest output (18%) is in the sub-discipline of virology. Among the prolific institutions, the publication output of institutions from the USA and Taiwan had higher impact. Citation per Paper (CPP) and Relative Citation Impact (RCI) were more than average for USA. All the Indian institutes listed under prolific institutions had made only a low impact.Keywords

Agriculture research is a continuous process and requires updated inflow of concord knowledge, which is generally managed through libraries in research institutions. The inflow of knowledge can be achieved through different types of sources such as books, journals, research reviews, electronic media etc. However, most of them involve cost and may not be affordable by every one. But the information on online journals free of cost has fulfilled the dream of those researchers who were not able to afford subscription to these journals. There is need to enlist such journals so that the information with respect to such journals is easily available to researchers. This paper presents the importance of free e-journals available in the field of agriculture and also consolidate the list of 202 e-journals with their website address.Keywords

The paper discusses the investment feasibility and marketing of jasmine in Chitradurga district. The jasmine crop is becoming increasingly popular among the farmers in the district of Chitraduga. The results reveals that the net present value at 15% was Rs. 190602.32 per acre, The benefit cost ratio was 2.00, which was positive indicating the investment in jasmine is profitable financially and economically . The internal rate of return was more than 50% and pay back period was 4.6 years which indicates that the investment in jasmine is economically feasible and financially viable. Channel I- Producers - Commission agent - wholesaler - Retailer - Consumer was more popular. Through this channel the net return realized by commission agents, wholesaler and retailer worked out to Rs. 2550, Rs. 31374 and Rs. 9,600, respectively. About 75-80 % of flowers moved through channel-I the reason for the preference of channel was that the commission agent advances loans to farmer. The price spread in channel-I, Channel-II and channel -III was estimated to be Rs. 37.15, Rs. 36.48 and Rs. 25.13, respectively. Farmers got higher returns in channel III i.e., selling directly to retailers which worked out Rs 44.20/kg.Keywords

An attempt was made to analyze the structure and competitiveness of the maize market in Davanagere. The Lorenz co-efficient of inequality was found to be 0.206 which revealed that there existed a higher degree of competitiveness for maize in Davanagere as market concentration was less. The maize traders from Davanagere established linkage with the poultry feed manufacturers of the district. Among the three poultry feed units in the study area, Feeds India Private Limited stood first for price and procurement reasons and Pragathi Feeds was preferred for payment reasons.Keywords

Stone column (SC) or granular column is widely used as a soil improvement method for flexible foundations such as oil storage tanks, embankments and rigid foundations. The confining pressure exerted by the surrounding soil allows the SC to develop its bearing capacity. The soft soil surrounding a SC may not provide sufficient lateral confinement. So, the design bearing carrying capacity may not be achieved. In such soils, a pervious concrete column (PCC) may be applied which deals with reinforcement as well as drainage. PCC can be constructed up to the full depth of soft soil or on the upper portion of a stone column up to which bulging is predominant. This study presents a parametric analysis of the performance of SCs, PCCs and composite columns (CCs) using three-dimensional numerical analyses. The parameters consider are: PCC diameter, PCC length in CCs surrounding soft clay cohesion, and full PCC length. Furthermore, the load transfer mechanism of pervious concrete is compared to that of a SC. In comparison to ordinary SCs, the findings of this study show that pervious concrete columns have a substantially better load carrying capacity and experience less lateral displacement. Furthermore, in a CC, the length of pervious concrete up to four times the column diameter may be sufficient to enhance the load carrying capacity of an ordinary SC.Keywords

Estimation of radionuclide content is essential for assessment of individual exposure in areas where groundwater is the principal source of drinking water. Elevated levels can be expected in areas known for radioactive mineral deposits and anthropogenic activities like mining and ore processing industry. The aim of this study is to determine the uranium and 226Ra in groundwater sources adjoining and away from uranium mining and ore processing industry at Turamdih, Jharkhand. The concentration of uranium in well/tubewell samples analysed nearby and away from the tailings ponds ranged from 0.1 to 8.4 μg l-1 and 226Ra varied from 4 to 269 mBq l-1. The wide variation of activity concentration is due to regions of uranium deposits with elevated level of radium in the earth's crust and geological faults, when compared to lower concentration profile of radium in earth crust. The ingestion of uranium and 226Ra in the adult population residing around Turamdih mining complex through drinking water sources ranged from 0.81 μSv year-1 to 3.8 μSv year-1 respectively. This is much lower than 100 μSv year-1, that is recommended by WHO for ingestion from intake of a single radionuclide. The groundwater monitoring carried out over four years around Turamdih mining complex indicates that there has been no observable impact on groundwater sources due to mining and ore processing activities in this region.Keywords

Knowledge Management (KM) has been identified as an important research area to be researched to draw various benefits to the organization and to improve the performance of manufacturing systems. Fourteen enablers have been selected from literature review and subsequent brainstorming sessions in which experts from academia and industry participated. An interpretive structural modeling has been utilized to model these enablers and the interactions among them. Four enablers have been found out at the top, whereas one enabler at bottom. MIC MAC analysis has resulted into: six enablers as driving; four enablers as dependent; also four enablers as linkage; and no enablers as autonomous enablers. The structural model and MIC MAC analysis may be helpful in understanding: these enablers; their interactions; and their interdependence towards managing the knowledge management implementation process effectively and efficiently. Clear understanding of relations among these enablers will help firms to effective management of these identified enablers and competently to draw advantage from knowledge management.Keywords

Reliability of electrical connections of a Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) device is always a challenge. LTCC base plates are fabricated, over which a device or a sensor can be placed. Vias punched at the corners allows the provision for the electrical connection to the sensor. Conductive PdAg lines printed over the surface can be used to join the sensor part with the base plate using brazing technique. Cost of fabrication is lowered by punching the cavities using a zig fixture.Keywords

The presented work is meant for producing electrical power from the speed breakers or road ramps. Road ramps are generally installed for controlling the speed of the traffic on the highways or near the squares. The kinetic energy of the vehicle is being dissipated into heat because of speed breakers or ramp (i.e. through the braking system). The power generation unit attached with ramp at this point converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into useful power.
Investigations have been made by fabricating the model of a ramp to generate electrical power by cyclic application and removal of loads. The analysis has been made for different loads ranging from 1 kg to 20 kg. The loads have been applied for different frequencies over the ramp. The data have been collected and then presented in the form of tables and charts which reveal that output power increases with the traffic load. Finally a model has been produced for forecasting the output power from power ramp. The forecasting has been made for 25000 daily traffic movements (in both directions). It has been estimated that about 10 kw of electricity can be produced by installing such type of power ramp.

Water is a vital component that determines the full potential of the agriculture sector of any country. The practice of rainwater harvesting (RWH) in ponds and reusing the stored water for lifesaving irrigation of crops is prevalent in India since ancient times. One can find efficient management of water in a region in traditional farming systems like kattas and surangams in North Kerala and Karnataka, and zabo system and bamboo drip system of Nagaland.Full Text

Several research works have been reported for calculating terminal velocity of spherical particles. However, work is still limited on non spherical and irregular particles. In the present work, an attempt has been made for predicting the terminal velocity of irregular shaped particles using the proposed correlation. Further, the effects of variation of density, effect of variation of particle sieve diameter and variation of particle's Reynolds number on the particle terminal velocity have been presented for actual and the simulated values. It is observed that the curve is behaving in same manner for the actual and simulated terminal velocities.Keywords

Hadamard matrices have received much attention in the recent past, owing to their well-known and promising applications. Various researchers have used Hadamard matrices to find their applications in image analysis, signal processing, coding theory, cryptology and combinatorial designs. Now, Hadamard rhotrices have been introduced in the literature for the above said applications. Balanced incomplete block design has its wide use in design of experiments in statistics and error-correcting codes. Design of experiments has broad applications across all the natural and social sciences, and engineering. Here, in the present paper, we develop balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) using Hadamard rhotrices.Keywords

In this study an airborne ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used to estimate spatial distribution of snow accumulation in the Samudra Tapu glacier (the Great Himalayan Range), Western Himalaya, India. An impulse radar system with 350 MHz antenna was mounted on a helicopter for the estimation of snow depth. The dielectric properties of snow were measured at a representative site (Patseo Observatory) using a snow fork to calibrate GPR data. The snow depths estimated from GPR signal were found to be in good agreement with those measured on ground with an absolute error of 0.04 m. The GPR survey was conducted over Samudra Tapu glacier in March 2009 and 2010. A kriging-based geostatistical interpolation method was used to generate a spatial snow accumulation map of the glacier with the GPR-collected data. The average accumulated snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) for a part of the glacier were found to be 2.23 m and 0.624 m for 2009 and 2.06 m and 0.496 m for 2010 respectively. Further, the snow accumulation data were analysed with various topographical parameters such as altitude, aspect and slope. The accumulated snow depth showed good correlation with altitude, having correlation coefficient varying between 0.57 and 0.84 for different parts of the glacier. Higher snow accumulation was observed in the north- and east-facing regions, and decrease in snow accumulation was found with an increase in the slope of the glacier. Thus, in this study we generate snow accumulation/SWE information using airborne GPR in the Himalayan terrain.Keywords

The use of solid phase synthesis techniques has been explored as an alternative to conventional approaches for the synthesis of compounds used in the drug discovery process. Combinatorial chemistry now plays an important role in the lead discovery and hit optimization processes in the pharmaceutical world as well as in other areas of discovery chemistry. Now days this is an important technique for the development of different synthesis concepts that were intended to cover and explore the chemical space without having to prepare every individual compound. Solid phase synthesis technologies were developed in response to the increased screening capacities and target oriented lead finding. This article explains different linker, protecting group, cleavage methods used in solid phase synthesis, combinatorial libraries and screening system used in solid phase synthesis.

Technological development and its commercialization are the prime factors for all-round development of any nation. The management of technology development along with its business and commercial exploitation are key areas to be identified and properly understood to remain competitive in this global market. Some technologies are partially commercialized due to improper technology management and one such example is sinter-forging or powder metallurgy forging (PMF). The technique combines advantages associated with two well-known techniques i.e. powder metallurgy and conventional forging and uses pressed and sintered metal powder performs as starting material. It is well suited for mass production of precision, net shape and high-performance components virtually without scrap loss at competitive rates. The authors have carried extensive research in this area and it is their firm believe that the technique may emerge as an advanced progressive manufacturing technology. The present paper highlights its techno-economic aspects and suggests possible research areas requiring proper management.- Improving Macropropagation and Seed Germination Techniques for Conservation of Threatened Species

Populations of threatened plants are declining rapidly in natural habitats due to various anthropogenic activities. Reinforcement of the dwindling populations through reintroduction is a promising aspect for conservation of threatened plants. However, due to lack of standardized propagation methods of such plants, mass production of planting materials has become a challenge, thereby constraining the replenishment process. Identification of factors constraining the seed germination of threatened plants and addressing it effectively, are among the most cost-effective strategies for large-scale multiplication and subsequent conservation of the threatened species. Similarly, conventional low-cost vegetative propagation techniques such as grafting, air layering, and regenerating plantlets from ischolar_main-suckers, apical meristems, and stem cuttings often prove more successful for multiplication than relatively costly micropropagation techniques. In this article, we present a few case studies on low-cost mass propagation techniques of threatened plant species of India through seed, stem/apical shoot cutting and airlayering, that helped in the restoration of the species.Keywords

Priority Sector Lending (PSL) is a scheme which is intended to give loans to the important priority sectors of the economy. Keeping the objectives, performance of priority sector lending in Davanagere district was studied. The study on the target in Davangere district, public sector banks failed to achieve the targets in only one sector and achieved all the targets in left over eight sector. In co-operative sector, banks failed to achieve the targets in six sectors and achieving only in three sectors. In private sector banks, there was achievement of target for four sectors and in five sectors there was no attempt made to achieve the targets performance by the selected sectors in the areas under study revealed very poor performance especially in other priority sectors compared to agriculture, allied and retail trade business sectors.Keywords

An analysis of 17,344 papers published by Indian scientists and indexed by Web of Science in the discipline of organic chemistry during 2004–2013 indicates that collaborative coefficient has increased during the later years (2011–2013). Of the total published papers, 6312 (36.4%) were due to domestic and international collaboration. The share of papers in domestic collaboration was 77.3% (4882) and international collaboration was 22.7% (1430). Among the international collaborating countries, India had published highest number of papers with the USA followed by Germany. Academic institutions followed by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) contributed the highest number of papers in domestic as well as in international collaboration. However, the value of domestic collaborative index and international collaborative index was less than 100 for both the sectors. The labs funded by CSIR also topped the list of institutions having domestic and international collaborative papers. The compound annual growth rate in domestic and international collaborative papers was 4.7 and 5.3 respectively. The value of domestic collaborative index was highest for CSIR-CDRI, Lucknow and international collaborative index for Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai.Keywords

Role of resistin in insulin sensitivity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is controversial till date. Increased serum resistin levels are associated with MetS and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum resistin levels with markers of the MetS in females. In a cross-sectional study, a total of 170 healthy female subjects were selected for the study. Out of which 71 (age 31.59 ± 4.88 years) were with MetS and 99 (age 31.75 ± 6.34 years) were without MetS. Different parameters of MetS and serum resistin level were measured according to the standard protocols as given in NCEP ATP III 2001 guideline. Serum resistin levels were significantly higher in subjects with MetS when compared with subjects without MetS [13.54 ± 4.14 ng/ml (n = 71) vs. 7.42 ± 2.31 ng/ml (n = 99); P ≤ 0.001]. Resistin levels were positively associated with waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma glucose, waist/hip ratio, serum triglycerides, serum cholesterol, serum VLDL, plasma insulin, and insulin resistance, while it was negatively associated with highdensity lipoprotein. This study demonstrates a positive correlation between resistin and factors of MetS except high-density lipoprotein which was found to be negatively correlated in Indian female subjects.Keywords

Considering the hydrological and religious significance of the Ganga River and the Manasarovar Lake in India, the present study has been devised to investigate the data related to the place of origin of the Ganges and to investigate the likely connection between waters of the two systems. Satellite data was employed to develop maps and find out the possibility of surface connectivity, whereas isotopic and chemical data, obtained from the field samplings and the published research literatures were used to investigate the possibility of subsurface connectivity of the Gangotri Glacier water with that of the Manasarovar Lake. Topographically, both the water systems are located in different catchment zones, separated by high mountain ridges; rejecting any possibility for the surface connectivity. Similarly, there are significant variations in isotopic and physiochemical properties of the water, suggesting no possibility of surface or sub-surface connectivity between water of the two systems.Keywords

The study examines the pattern of growth of papers published by CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT) during 1990-2019; identifies most prolific authors and their citation impact, communication pattern of scientists in terms of journal publishing country and impact factor of these journals as well as the pattern of domestic and international collaboration. Analysis of data indicates a consistent growth of output during the study period except a decline in 2019-2020. Publications appeared in journals published from the advanced countries of the West and more than half of the papers were published in medium, high and very high impact factor journals. The output is highly scattered in terms of journal publication as one-third of the papers were published in 28 journals. Only about 8% papers remained uncited and rest were cited one or more times. Of the 20 highly cited papers, six women scientists acted as first author. The study found that more than half of the papers were published in domestic and international collaboration. USA was the most collaborating country and academic institutions were found to be most domestic collaborating institutions in India as well as abroad. Among all the Indian institutions, Guru Nanak Dev University (Amritsar) was most collaborating domestic institution and University of Vienna, Austria from abroad.Keywords
