Indian Forester, Vol 96, No 10 (1970), Pagination: 740-754Abstract
Silica content of 134 species of wood belonging to 80 genera and 35 families has been investigated both anatomically and gravimetrically. It has been found to be absent in 66 species. In the remaining 68 species, the silica content varies from 0.05 per cent in Cleistanthus collinus Benth. to over 7 per cent in Elaeocarpus lanceaefolius Roxb. Silica occurs in the form of inclusions in 54 species and as vitreous silica in 13 species. One species Gironniera reticulata Thw. has both the types. Silica inclusions are very commonly found in ray cells, and also to some extent in vertical parenchyma but only rarely in fibres. The inclusions are extremely variable in shape and size. Vitreous silica, unlike inclusions occurs mostly in vessels, sometimes also in parenchyma and fibres. The importance of silica in timber identification and utilization and its significance in taxonomy are also discussed.- Emotional Intelligence among Boys and Girls

Mobile ad-hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes forming an ad-hoc network without the assistance of any centralized structures. These networks introduced a new art of network establishment and can be well suited for an environment where either the infrastructure is lost or where deploy an infrastructure is not very cost effective. Due to mobility of nodes there is always a problem of providing secure communication in MANETs. Most of the attacks performed by malicious nodes can be detected and defended against by the use of secure routing protocols like AODV, DSR, SEAD, SPAAR, SRP but there remain the attacks that an authenticated selfish node can perform. To overcome this problem we propose here a new protocol named as “Authenticated Route Discovery for Adhoc Networks”. To provide the secure and reliable communication we propose an algorithm to find best route for the node because it uses the process to issue the certificates to each node. This algorithm is ignoring the malicious nodes that comes in the track of real nodes. Node table of all the nodes are stored on the server and there is a range defined to make the network scalable. There all features are providing the extension to seniority based Public Key Infrastructure model.Keywords

Nest parasitism is a common phenomenon in many species of birds in which a female of one species lays her eggs in the nest of another species to be hatched and cared by the hosts. The nest parasitism evolved initially as a facultative strategy to use the nest of one species which has raised its brood or deserted nests and then further advanced into parasitism. The host species feed on a wide spectra of food resources, especially rich in protein and are insectivores, carnivores or omnivores in contrast to the very restrictive feeding habits of the parasite species. Parasitism cost for the host is often high which favour the evolution of host defence leading to a parallel evolution between adaptation and counter adaptation of host-parasite interaction. The understanding of breeding biology and ecology of nest parasitism provides important information for the population management of host and parasitic species to devise very specialized conservation strategies for the delicate interaction in the quickly evolving environmental scenario.Keywords

The ecology and breeding biology of Indian stone curlew was studied in two selected sites of Kurukshetra, Haryana. Indian stone curlew morphologically characterized by sandy black bill, large yellow eyes and prominent black and white wing bars. The nest was found to build on furrowed soil with fine clay, gravel or sand having free drainage during the months of March and April. The vegetation in breeding ground mainly comprised of species of Family Amaranthaceae, Solanaceae, Malvaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Polygonaceae and Asteraceae. During the breeding both the parents defend breeding ground against their natural enemies by maintaining the nest territory of 100 meters. Two eggs dirty white in colour with dark brown irregular patches were observed in each nest. The incubation period was 27 days. Both the parents participate in incubation and rearing the hatchlings. Hatchlings are precocial and start feeding after hatching. The young one migrates to feeding grounds after a span of approximately three to four months. Due to intensive anthropogenic activities, Indian stone curlew is facing habitat and breeding ground shrinkage. The farmers and town planners should be advised to manage some area with natural habitation to ensure its nesting, feeding and breeding success of this important species.Keywords

At present market is flooded with different types of cooking oils, viz. Soybean , Sesame , Olive, Mustard , Sunflower, Canola, Rapeseed, Peanut, Rice bran and Coconut etc. Various available brands of these oils promise good heart health to keep you fit. But before choosing oil for everyday use one has to examine the balanced amount of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The oils with low rancidity are preferred to escape event of oxidation. Besides, the smoking point of oils, also need to be taken into consideration to avoid consumption of trans fats. It is really difficult to choose from the pool of oils but it is true that making judicious selection is necessary to have palatable food for Indians, say sunflower, mustard, soybean etc.Keywords

As examinations approach each year, stress is taking a toll on the students. A point of time has been reached when an explanation as to what causes stress in these students is the need of the hour in an attempt to revamp the existing educational system. The present descriptive research was of the correlational and casual - comparative type. It aimed to study stress in students of professional colleges in relation to their self efficacy. It also focused on the gender differences in these variables as well as in the relationship between these variables. The sample comprised of 1094 students of professional colleges. The rating scales used for the purpose of study were prepared by the researcher. Descriptive analysis of data included calculation of the mean, median and mode, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis and estimation of population parameters. Inferential statistics included the 'T' test, coefficient of correlation and the 'Z' test. The study revealed a negative correlation of stress with self efficacy. Significant gender differences were found to exist in the variables as well as in their relationship. This study could have important implications in helping students of professional colleges to come to terms with the invaluable worth of a high self efficacy in coping with examination stress.- Population Growth and Urban Sprawl: A Case Study in Haryana, India Using Geospatial Technology

Urbanization is unavoidable phenomena in World. In India, 31.16 percent population lives in urban areas, as per 2011 Census. Rapid urbanization within rapid population growth through economic development causes unsystematic and unplanned growth of cities in developing countries. Rapid population growth, which is mainly due to the migration, in cities creates many problems to human being. Sonipat city is no exception in this view because of its prime setting on N.H.1 and its easy accessibility and connectivity to both National Capital of Delhi and Union Territory of Chandigarh. The pressure of a rapidly growing urban population in the city has a direct impact on the surrounding rural agricultural land. Sprawl is based on satellite imagery of Google Earth (2002 and 2011), Toposheet 1968 and town directory map, Haryana (1981 and 1991) obtained from census of India. Census data have been used to analyses the latest scenario of population growth and urban sprawl at different time periods. The paper also reveals the potential of Geospatial Technology to analyze the direction of urban growth and their consequences in surrounding rural area.Keywords

The belief or faith in God has remained an imperative issue of the study primarily in the social sciences because of the responsive spirit of the society as well as defined in copious ways. It is a matter of one’s own trust in deity and its composition is an important determinant of demographic as well as societal behavior. It is not amazing that despite of being a land of great multitudes, having various social order and commune connection, linguistic and cultural specification, as well as immense geographical span, the Indian society has eternal consensus with its fundamental time-honored principles. The study tries to analyses the religious composition of state Haryana with respect to secondary data of religion, census years of 2001 and 2011. Though the state greets to every religion yet Hindu religion has its dominance in the society with almost homogeneous prevalence.Keywords

The concept of development of microbial consortia for bio-control relies on the fact that bioagents under natural habitats live in communities with some benefits for plants. Application of bioagents in a consortium may improve efficacy, reliability and consistency of the bioagents even under diverse soil and environmental conditions. Diversity in biocontrol mechanisms offered by each bioagent in consortium may help in enhancing disease suppressiveness and may also strengthen the capabilities of the partners in an additive or synergistic manner. Till now no guideline has been published for the evaluation of bioagents to test their compatibility before developing bioagent consortium. In the present studies compatibility among biocontrol potential Trichoderma-Pseudomonas and Trichoderma-Trichoderma isolates was studied by dual culture, mixed formulations and using cell free cultures. In dual culture all the combinations (14 no.) were found compatible with each other as no isolate inhibited the growth of one-another i.e. absence of inhibition zone. All the mixed formulations of potential Trichoderma-Pseudomonas isolates (8 no.) were found compatible with each other as they were growing simultaneously on PDA without antagonizing the growth of other or formation of inhibition zone in their combinations. The cell free cultures of each Trichoderma and Pseudomonas isolates tested with each other using Food Poison Technique showed synergistic effects on their fresh mycelial weight among some combinations while majority showed no significant differences with their checks. Further all the combinations (14 no.) were tested for their effects on seed germination and vigour index of chickpea in glasshouse. All the combinations showed significantly better seed germination while some combinations viz. Th14+Psf173, TCMS36+Psf173,Th17+Th19,Th17+Psf2,Th17+TCMS36 and Th14+Psf2 showed better plant vigour index (43.5 to 44.9% ) as compared to their checks (28.8 to 41.5%).These guidelines could be used before developing bioagent consortium and evaluation in field for crop health management.
