Abstract

Structural features of natural chevron folds were studied in north Cornwall, England and an experiment was performed to simulate these structures. The study reveals that the amount of interstitial flow (Biot, 1965) varies along the fold limb and this variation is attributed to the formation of, (1) limb thinning and hinge thickening, (2) variation in the intensity of development of extension faults along the fold limb, and (3) development of overlapping boudins.

Abstract

Standard heterosis has been amply exploited in developing hybrids in eggplant by increasing commercial value of them. In an experiment, fifteen parents (12 lines and 3 testers) were selected on the basis of divergence and mated them in line x tester design. Hybrids and parents rose to measured heterosis for different quantitative traits. Some of the hybrids exhibited positive standard heterosis. In case of days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height and days to maturity, where negative heterosis is desirable, seven hybrids showed negative standard heterosis for days to 50 per cent flowering, twenty four hybrids for plant height and three hybrids showed significant negative heterosis for days to maturity. For number of branches per plant, three hybrids showed significant and twenty hybrids showed positive standard heterosis. In case of fruit length and fruit diameter both positive and negative heterosis was observed. Twenty six hybrids showed positive standard heterosis for number of fruits per plant. Yield, the ultimate product of different yield components, nine hybrids showed positive standard heterosis for yield. In case of Cercospora leaf spot incidence, seventeen hybrids showed highly significant standard heterosis.

Abstract

Neem oil is a natural product from the seed-kamel of the "wonder tree" Azadirachta indica. In addition to its various applications in the treatment of different ailments, it also possesses spermicidal and post-coital antifertility properties. Therefore, a study was undertaken with a purpose to know its contraceptive effect on the biochemical composition of uterine fluid, which is a composite of secretions from the endometerial gland and serum transudates, which is responsible for making internal biochemical melieu of uterus suitable for sperm Capaciation, fertilization, implantation and as a histotroph for developing blastocyst, uterine contractibility and fertility.

Abstract

Natural selection has provided the mammal with a rich variety of signaling systems, each of which couples environmental variation with appropriate neuroendocrine responses. Therefore the complicated processed of mammalian reproduction occurs in harmony with exhisting dietary factors and different aspects of physical environmental. In recent years the study of low nutrients and their metabolism as well as various environmental factors effect reproductive processes has gained a great momentum., several research articles reveal that environmental factors and nutritional status directly or indirectly modulate reproduction in mammals. In general the male reproductive system show much more resistance to malnutrition and photoperiodic length of environmental factors alone influences the seasonal changes in testicular volume in sheep as earlier reported by Martin (1984).

Abstract

Human Seminal plasma is the nongemetic portion of an ejaculate at the time of insemination which acts as a fluid for the transport of male gamates in the female reproductive tract by acting as a buffered medium. It contains nutrients for spermatozoa in a species specific volume and density. Seminal quality is a classic index for male fertility. Earlier reports indicates that antibodies of the ABO-system of blood group affect the human spermatozoal metabolism.

Abstract

Kinematic information from deformation structures and magnetic fabrics are used to infer recent tectonics around Kangra and Dehradun recesses, western Himalaya. Three types of magnetic fabrics (Type I&II, III, and IV) are identified based on the angle between K3 axis and bedding pole. It was observed that Kangra recess shows more mature fabric type IV as compared to Dehradun recess, where orientation of K3 axes and tectonic fabric reveals dominance of superposed deformation. In the vicinity of Dehradun recess, normal faults occur in un-indurated Quaternary fan deposits confirming their recent formation. The observations are in conformity with earlier studies that during the 1905 Kangra earthquake, the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) (or one of its subsidiary thrusts) near Kangra showed thrusting whereas the MBT near Dehradun underwent either normal faulting or post seismic adjustments characteristic of normal faulting. The thrusting could be a result of subsurface processes whereas the normal faulting was a result of prevailing surface strains.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explain the relationship of person-organization fit with job satisfaction of Nurses and to know the mediating role of need satisfaction in this relationship. The sample consisted of 400 Nurses as participants selected from different government and private hospitals. Person-organization fit of nurses was measured with the most commonly used items of P-O Fit scale (Cable & Judge, 1996). Job satisfaction was measured through Job descriptive index developed by Smith Kendall and Hulin (1969). Need satisfaction was measured by Need satisfaction at work Scale (Deci & Ryan, 2001). Results indicated that p-o fit of nurses was positively correlated with and significantly predicted the job satisfaction. It was also found that need satisfaction partially mediate this relationship between p-o fit and job satisfaction.

Keywords

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to compare various weed management strategies in onion atVegetable Research Farm, C.S.A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kalyanpur, Kanpur during Rabi season in 2016- 2017. The experiment comprised of six treatments of pre-emergence and post-emergence of herbicides, their combination with hand weeding, mechanical or physical weed control and weedy check. The significant results revealed that pre-emergence application of oxyflurofen 23.5 % EC before planting + one hand weeding at 40-60 days after onion seedling transplanting recorded the higher marketable and total bulb yield (22.50 and 25.34 t ha^-1, respectively) with maximum weed control efficiency of 87.02%.The same treatment was also recorded higher cost benefit ratio of 1:2.86. However, this treatment was economically viable for control of weeds in case of labour scarcity with better bulb yield, weed control efficiency, benefit cost and keep the weed density lower level in Rabi season grown onion production under central U.P. conditions.
