Development of a proper supply chain management system to manage the food distribution network to achieve food security is one of the major challenges confronting the world today. India and China, two major economy of the world face the challenge and pressure to feed over half of the total world population. Although, our country India has achieved self-sufficiency in food grain production and surplus food stocks are available in the FCI godowns across the country, but due to inefficiencies of operation and entrepreneurial abilities, majority of beneficiaries of the resources invested by them are not targeted to the correct population. The availability of such food to people who have challenges on social and economic front should get benefit of physical access is the key of any distribution system. Therefore a strong supply chain policy for the distribution of such food in various parts of country, a proper plan for optimal distribution of the procured food grains among such population is required. Any failure in any of the channel of this system procurement -transportation - warehousing - transportation - distribution system can lead to large scale famine in the effected region of country. Therefore, it is very important to maintain entire supply chain from farmers to the beneficiary is managed in an integrated manner.Keywords

In recent years bryophytes have emerged as potential plants for many bioactive phytochemicals with antimicrobial efficacies. In present study antibacterial activity of Anoectangium clarum Mitt. has been assessed using various extracts. For this assessment agar diffusion method is used against selected pathogenic fungus. Tetracycline is used as positive control. The ethanolic extract of moss exhibited a superior effect than the extract prepared in methanol. The utmost effect was observed against Escherichia coli followed by Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus subtilis. This study projects Anoectangium clarum as an eco-friendly antibacterial agent.Keywords

The demand of proteases is increasing regularly because of their numerous applications in the biotechnological industries. It promotes isolation and identification of potent protease producing fungi from soil samples. Therefore, the objective of the present investigation was to screen soil fungi in submerged fermentation (SmF) for detection of hyperproducer isolate and production of protease in SmF. Fungal strains from three diverse soil samples were isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates by serial dilution agar plate technique, purified by point inoculation and twelve isolates utilized for production of extracellular protease in SmF. Results were examined both in terms of protease activity and specific activity. Among all 12 fungal strains, isolate S2St1 (isolated from medicinal garden soil) exhibited maximum activity of protease (256.63 ± 3.18 U/ml/min) at 72 h of incubation. Isolate S2St1 was identified as potent producer of protease in SmF. Further this isolate can be used for production of large quantity of protease in SmF within very short time period of 3 days.Keywords

Proteases are one of the most significant groups of commercial enzymes and contribute 60% of the world enzyme market. The choice of proteases is the microbial proteases due to their versatility, stability and distinctive properties. Today, microbial proteases are utilized in various industries viz., meat processing, ripening of cheese, detergents, textile, recovery of silver from photographic image etc. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to increase the protease production from wild and mutagenic strain of Aspergillus sp. Wild and mutagenic strain of proteolytic soil fungus Aspergillus sp. was used for optimization study. Different parameters (nitrogen, carbon sources, temperature, pH and incubation time) were optimized in submerged fermentation (SmF) for enhanced protease production. Wild strain demonstrated highest protease activity at pH 10.0 after 48 h of incubation at 37 °C in the medium containing glucose as carbon source and yeast extract as nitrogen source whereas optimum protease activity from mutagenic strain was found at pH 10.0 after 94 h of incubation at 37 °C in the medium containing fructose as carbon source and peptone as nitrogen source. Protease production was increased from wild and mutagenic strain of Aspergillus sp. after parameters optimization in SmF.Keywords

Advances in manufacturing technology and the quest for smaller part geometry, have played the role of a curtain raiser for the new frontiers of machining process of metals. In this specific domain of precision manufacturing, the traditional machining methods have limited capabilities to meet higher accuracy, better surface finish and greater productivity related requirements from the customer. Micro machining is a ready solution towards the miniaturization of components and devices. The main problems during micro machining methods are to make a low heat affected zone and the controllability of other parameters to meet ever demanding process capability related requirements. High energy beam machining identifies a category of processes, each of which is capable of transferring a beam of such high energy intensity into metal cutting or drilling forces. It should be used to melt and vaporize a narrow zone of metals. This ability is useful for precision drilling, welding and cutting. Low power pulse Nd:YAG laser machining is now being used for these purpose often with the high level of precision in an economically viable manner. Thin strip cutting of metals through laser beam is one of the main applications in this area. This paper is focused on the cutting and drilling of the mild steel workpiece with lower thickness values and an attempt has been made to study the different process parameters in linguistic terms, which will affect relative ranks of the quality of the precision cutting and micro drilling of the metal specimen.

In February 2009, a huge landslide occurred at Assar in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir state. The slide triggered after the reservoir level of the Baglihar dam increased from initial water level of 850 m to 870 m. The impounding of reservoir water created high angle scarps at number of fossil slide sites on either side of the river within the reservoir area. One such scarp (about 250 m long) at Assar caused a huge landslide washing out about 150 m road stretch. The sliding material is dominated by finer fraction (71.5 %) of micaceous silty sand and coarser fraction of gravel to boulder size. Over saturation of the slope forming material, weak rocks and high absorption and swelling nature of the soil, high slope angle and toe cutting by the water are the main reasons that triggered this slide.Keywords
