Indian Forester, Vol 128, No 2 (2002), Pagination: 207-216Abstract
In the South Garo Hills District and Nokrek area of Western Meghalaya, statistical analyses suggest very low elephant densities and greatest declines of elephants in areas with >10% bamboo and secondary forest (6-10 years old) and >10% scrub and abandonedjhum fields (old fallow jhum 3-6 years old). Elephant densities are hi'ghest, and declines are the least, in areas with >25% semi-evergreen forest (old secondary forests 15-30+ years old). Data on elephant sign (use) in the field generally support these findings, with selection by elephants (ie., use significantly exceeding availability) for native semi-evergreen forest, and lack of selection (use significantly less than availability) for deciduous forests (including Sal forest, Teak, and Cashew plantations) and for scrub and abandonedjhum fields. To maintain elephant populations in the South Garo Hills District and Nokrek area, we suggest official delineation of 7 elephant habitat corridors that we mapped as having low degree of fragmentation of forest cover and a high proportion of contiguous, semi-evergreen and evergreen forest cover.

Experimental studies were carried out to examine the efficiency of whole cell immobilization in calcium alginate beads and agar blocks for the production of L-lysine using a biotin autotrophic mutant Micrococcus glutamicus AB<SUB>200</SUB> developed in laboratory by induced mutation from a regulatory mutant Micrococcus glutamicus AB5. Under the same physico- chemical environment, using selected suitable synthetic medium, different parameters for both calcium alginate beads and agar blocks were optimized one by one to maximize the production of L-lysine. Production was increased significantly with cells entrapped in calcium alginate beads compared to free cells with the presence of 0.2(M) CaCl<SUB>2</SUB> in synthetic medium, 0.2 (M) CaCl<SUB>2</SUB> for bead formation, 4% sodium alginate, 24 h storage period of beads and 1.5 cell/alginate ratio but the accumulation of was decreased significantly with the whole cell entrapped in agar blocks, compared to free cells.Keywords

Released effluent form paper mill percolates though soil and slowly mixes with ground water aquifers. Water samples were collected from 5 sampling stations (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) around the paper mill. Samples were analyzed for their water quality for various parameters. Statistical analysis was employed to evaluate the water quality for 5 monitoring stations. Water quality variables such as, TDS, Sulphate, Chloride exceeded WHO guidelines of drinking water. The pollution threat to ground water is from TDS, Sulphate and Chlorides, which are associated with pulp waste in the studied area. The study reveals that wastewater even from a single mill can affect the ground water quality of nearby area.Keywords

A line of Indo-western dresses on peacock theme was designed using twenty peacock motifs comprising of top ten motifs from each category, i.e. realistic and stylized motifs, adjudged best by a panel of ten judges. For designing Indo-western dresses, motif R9 was most preferred (mean scores 4.80) by the judges followed by motif R20 which obtained second rank with mean scores 4.40. Among the stylized motifs, S20 motif was most preferred (mean scores 5.60) followed by motif S17 which obtained second rank with mean scores 5.50. Twenty innovative designs of Indo-western dresses were developed in Corel Draw X5 by using ten most preferred peacock motifs which were highly appreciated by the college-going girls.Keywords

Background: Unsafe abortion is an important factor that contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Uterine perforation and bowel injuries are the major complications after unsafe abortion. The reason for these complications is that most of the abortions are done by untrained personnel.
Case: We are presenting a case report of bowel protrusion and its trauma following uterine injury, which is rare nowadays.
Conclusion: To meet the unmet needs, legalisation of abortion is not sufficient, removing needless barriers to abortion is important. Availability of safer abortion facilities in rural areas, easy accessibility to these services, and training of health care providers will significantly reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

E.C.G is the most widely used test for both the diagnosing and estimating the prognosis of CAD. ST segment and T wave changes are most commonly evaluated parameters of E.C.G. Atorvastatin have found to decrease ischemic events apart from its hypolipidemic effect. The main objective of this open prospective randomized, controlled study was to evaluate the effect of addition of atorvastatin to conventional antianginal treatment on ST segment and T wave changes on E.C.G. The study was conducted for duration of 2 months in 30 patients of CAD (15 in each group). Group A was started on conventional antianginal treatment and group B was started on Atorvastatin 20 mg once a day at night in addition to conventional treatment. The ECG changes were recorded after 15, 30, 45 and 60 days using 12 lead E.C.G. At the end of the study, no significant difference was found in E.C.G changes between the group A and group B. A slight improvement in ST segment changes in group B patients was observed but the effect was statistically not significant. So, addition of atorvastatin to conventional antianginal treatment did not have a significant effect on reversal of ischemic changes on ECG in patients of CAD.Keywords

Occurrence of corrosion in rebars of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a common problem faced by the ageing infrastructure across the world. This article presents a newly developed approach for detecting and quantifying corrosion of steel bars utilizing a piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) patch surfacebonded on the rebars employing equivalent structural parameters using the electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) technique. This technique utilizes the electromechanical coupling property of piezoelectric materials for a damage diagnosis. Through tests on three steel rebars, empherical relations are derived to relate the corrosion-induced mass and stiffness loss to the loss in the equivalent mass and stiffness identified by the PZT patch. The equivalent mass loss and stiffness loss correlate well with the actual mass loss and stiffness loss and, provide an alternative corrosion assessment paradigm suitable for diagnosing corrosion in steel rebars. The model-based corrosion assessment presented can be utilized for real-life steel structures.Keywords

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in wavelength range of 350-2500 nm is emerging as a rapid and non-invasive approach for estimating soil nutrient content. The success of the DRS approach relies on the ability of the data mining algorithms to extract appropriate spectral features while accounting for non-linearity and complexity of the reflectance spectra. There is no comparative assessment of spectral algorithms for estimating nutrient content of Indian soils. We compare the performance of partialleast- squares regression (PLSR), support vector regression (SVR), discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) and their combinations (DWT-PLSR and DWT-SVR) to estimate soil nutrient content. The DRS models were generated for extractable phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S), boron (B), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) content in Vertisols and Alfisols and were compared using residual prediction deviation (RPD) of validation dataset. The best DRS models yielded accurate predictions for P (RPD = 2.27), Fe (RPD = 2.91) in Vertisols and Fe (RPD = 2.43) in Alfisols, while B (RPD = 1.63), Zn (RPD = 1.49) in Vertisols and K (RPD = 1.89), Zn (RPD = 1.41) in Alfisols were predicted with moderate accuracy. The DWT-SVR outperformed all other approaches in case of P, K and Fe in Vertisols and P, K and Zn in Alfisols; whereas, the PLSR approach was better for B, Zn and Al in Vertisols and B, Fe and Al in Alfisols. The DWT-SVR approach yielded parsimonious DRS models with similar or better prediction accuracy than PLSR approach. Hence, the DWT-SVR may be considered as a suitable data mining approach for estimating soil nutrients in Alfisols and Vertisols of India.Keywords

Food habits, to be rightly understood, should be considered as part of cultural make-up which one has inherited down the ages. Food habits are very hard to break. Though these may have to be given up by individuals for the sake of the common good, the process of change is over a period of time and are not the result of sudden changes of innovations.- Anxiety and Depression in Chronic Headache Patients:Major Concern for Community Mental Health

Many evidences support the anxiety-headache-depression syndrome as a distinct disorder, and also its association with psychiatric illness. This study highlights the importance of prospective research for studying the developmental course and consequences of headache syndromes. The relevant information for the sample of 100 patients was recorded on a Performa designed for this purpose comprising of socio-demographic variables like age, gender and triggering factors. The correlation-coefficient indicated a significant positive relationship between the anxiety and depression in chronic headache patients. These findings implicate high prevalence of anxiety and depression in the general population, and indicate an association between headache and psychological disorders.

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.

Experiment was conducted using weighing-type field lysimeters to determine single and dual crop coefficients (Kc) and to estimate water productivity of mustard (Brassica juncea) cultivar, Pusa Vijay (NPJ-93) during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15. It was observed that the single crop coefficient (Kc) during rabi 2013-14 was 0.39, 0.72, 1.02 and 0.5 for initial, development, mid and late stages respectively. While in dual Kc the value of Kcb (basal crop coefficient) was 0.19, 0.55, 0.91 and 0.24 for the four stages, respectively. During rabi 2014-15, the single Kc was 0.36, 0.63, 1.04 and 0.44 and for dual Kc the value of Kcb was 0.17, 0.46, 0.91 and 0.23 for four stages respectively. Relationship between Kcb and leaf area index as well as between Kcb and growing degree days was also established. Water productivity was estimated to be 14.9 kg/ha-mm corresponding to grain yield of 2.34 t ha-1 with 157 mm of total irrigation water applied during rabi 2013-14. Whereas during rabi 2014-15, water productivity was 15.4 kg/ha-mm with grain yield of 2.89 t ha-1 with 187 mm depth of applied irrigation. Nonetheless, the estimated crop coefficients of mustard can be used for judicious irrigation scheduling in order to enhance water productivity in semi-arid environment.Keywords

Melioidosis is an infectious disease of humans and animals, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative soil bacterium. It is a disease of tropical climates with reports from North east and South India. It has also been listed as potential bioterrorism weapon. The bacterium causing melioidosis is found in contaminated water and soil. It spreads to humans through inhalation or inoculation.
With clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic infection to full blown sepsis syndrome with very high mortality rate, early diagnosis and prompt treatment is important to reduce mortality.
Melioidosis is under reported in India, as it needs a high index of suspicion along with the isolation and identification of B. pseudomallei from blood and secretions.

The purpose of this study was to develop a projective inventory to measure integrity. The projective inventory (PI) is a 69 item (statements) scale consists of 6 situations designed to measure integrity. Integrity has six dimensions: a) Belief in higher order principles: truth, (b) Money as means not as end, (c) Moral courage: indifference to suffering, (d) Commitment to family and friends, (e) Involvement in corruption and (f) Favoritism. The projective inventory yields a total score and six scores corresponding to the dimensions of integrity. Each score was calculated according to agreement and disagreement to the statements given by the participants during the data collection. The results revealed that the average score on positive dimensions of integrity (moral courage: Indifference to suffering, truth & commitment respectively) were higher than the negative values traits of integrity (involvement in corruption & favoritism). Reliability of the projective inventory integrity is 0.94. The construct (convergent) validity of the test was examined in which the correlation of PI scores with Big Five personality attributes was found to be moderate, which indicates that PI measures something related to existing tools of integrity in slightly different manner. Factor analysis was carried out to find the factor structure of the scale. Factor analysis revealed three factors in terms of indifference to suffering commitment and truth. Taking all the dimensions of integrity together and analyzing the step-wise regression analysis, it was found that indifference to suffering is the best predictor of overall test followed by favoritism, commitment, corruption and truth.Keywords

The Indian Higher Education (IHE) system has been critiqued consistently over quality concerns, resulting in several corrective measures being initiated by the policy makers, regulators, and the institutions. Consequently, progress has been observed in terms of improved outcomes on some parameters. One emergent trend in the IHE is increased focus on quantitative data by the accreditation and ranking agencies. This has spurred the sector into a competitive overdrive with institutions vying for rankings and awards. This has also resulted in malpractices, systemic erosion, and gamification of the system with long term repercussions. This paper argues against adopting purely quantitative measures for institutional assessment, suggesting measures which are holistic, broad-based, and better serve the needs of a country as diverse as India.Keywords
