Abstract

Populus ciliata, an indigenous species is widely distributed in Western Himalayas and is attacked by large number of pathogens. Cladosporium humile, the incitant of leaf spot causes defoliation of great magnitude to Ciliata in nurseries and plantations. During 1997-98, an defoliation of great magnitude to Ciliata in nurseries and plantations. During 1997-98, an experiment was conducted to assess 42 clones/species/hybrids of Populus species against C. humile. Out of 24 clones of P. ciliata, none was found disease free. Eight clones were rated as susceptible while rest were highly susceptible. All other 18 hybrids/clones of P. deltoides, P. robusta, P. yunnanensis, P. trichocarpa, P. eugenii, P. oxford, P. gwayder and P. regenerata were found to be immune.

Abstract

Variation in the dimensions of urediniospores of Melampsora ciliata harvested from different Poplar species grown under different environmental conditions has been observed in the present investigations. Smallest urediniospores (20.88 x 15.43 µm) produced on P. ciliata were recorded at Rahla (Zone III) while largest (36.30 x 19.97 µm) were recorded at Raison (Zone II). Urediniospores produced on P. deltoides and P. nigra were smaller in size at Nauni and Raison (Zone II), while larger spores on these species were recorded at Shoghi and Tapri (Zone III). Spores produced in pustules of P. alba at Spillo were smaller as compared to those produced at Reckong Peo. Irrespective of the host genotype and climatic zone, smallest urediniospores were produced on P. alba.

Abstract

Variation in the dimensions of urediniopustules and urediniospores of Melampsora ciliata produced on different popular species/cultivars/clones/hybrids has been observed in the present investigations. Smallest urediniopustules were produced on P.deltoides 'Lux' (0.38 mm) while largest on P.yunnanensis (1.34 mm). In P.ciliata clones/hybrids, smallest urediniopustules were recorded in 53M1 (0.16 mm) while largest in Chhatrari (0.90 mm). Largest spore size (33.6 × 16.3 μm) was recorded on P.deltoides 'Lux' and 64M1 (36.3 × 17.3 μm) while smallest on P. xeuramericana 'Robusta AE' and 53M1. Irrespective of species/cultivars, urediniospore size ranged from 13.1-39.3 × 13.1- 19.6 μm. The average urediniospore size of M.ciliata produced on P.ciliata clones ranged from 30.8 -36.3 × 15.4 - 17.1 μm while that on hybrids from 27.2 - 36.3 × 14.5 - 20.0 μm.

Abstract

Growing demand of Poplar wood for manufacture of fruit boxes, plyboard, match sticks due to its fast growth and colourless wood have led to extensive plantation of this species. This has resulted in severe outbreak of a number of diseases. Alternaria alternata is one of the most destructive pathogens of Populus species in nurseries resulting in premature defoliation. During 1997, an expcriment was conducted to assess 232 different cloneslhybrids of P. ciliata and P. deltoides against A. alternata. Out of 29 clones and 75 hybrids of P. ciliata, 3 clones and 22 hybrids remained free from the disease. In 11 clones and 2 hybrids of P. ciliata, disease reaction varied from resistant to moderately resistant. Out of 73 clones and 7 hybrids of P. deltoides, 64 clones and 7 hybrids remained free from the disease. All the 46 families of P. deltoides screened were found free from the disease.

Abstract

The Knitwear industry all over the world is at the threshold of far-reaching institutional changes. The removal of quantitative restrictions has brought about important implications. It has thrown open both the opportunities and threats, especially for the low-income economies seeking to industrialise through promotion of the garment sector. This sector contributes about 14 percent to industrial production, 4 percent to the gross domestic product (GDP), and 11 percent to the country's total export earnings of which 45% comes through the share of knitted garments. Over 95% of the nation’s output of Woolen/Acrylic hosiery comes from Ludhiana. The textiles sector is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture. Ludhiana Knitwear Industry, though it is one of the biggest clusters of the knitwear units in Asia, lacks in its image building, image that promises consistent hi-quality and conveys the personality it deserves, both for the domestic as well as international market. In the absence of any recognizable brand, consumers mostly make their selection entirely based on the liking of the styles, fits and range of prices vis-a-vis their choice. There is absolutely no assurance for product quality for such choices. With a daily factory employment of 55 workers per 1,000 population, compared to 11 for India as a whole, and 19 for Punjab, Ludhiana district is clearly Punjab's Knitwear hub which is also known as Manchester of India.

Abstract

Objective: The present study investigates the characterization of the bioactive constituents showing antimicrobial activity present in leaf extract of Meizotropis pellita using UV-VIS and FTIR spectroscopy. Method: The methanolic extract of the leaves of Meizotropis pellita prepared by cold maceration method and analysed under ultraviolet and visible light. The scanning of the crude extract was done at the range from 190‐800 nm through Varian Cary -100 UV Visible spectrophotometer system and the characteristic peaks were detected. FTIR studies was done on a Jasco-4100 system, ranging 4000-400 cm^-1 which revealed the characteristic peak values showing the absorption and functional groups present in leaf extract. Findings: The UV-VIS profile showed the peaks at 660, 340, 270, 235 and 210 nm with the absorption 0.085, 1.250, 2.605, 4.455 and 3.639. The result of FTIR spectra confirms the presence of alcohol, aldehydes carboxylic acid, aromatic and halogen compounds. So the present study provide evidences that leaves of Meizotropis pellita contain bioactive constituents which could be of interest for the development of new drug.

Abstract

Severe Plastic Deformation is the most promising technique which can produce Bulk Nano-Structured Materials (BNMs). Among various SPD techniques Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) and Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) have a broad significance due to its unusual mechanical performance. In this paper, the principle and merits of ARB and ECAP technique are pointed out, and also a model based on simulation is established for investigating SPD developments. Pure Copper after sixteen numbers of ARB cycles discloses greater strength by more rises in ductility as compared to that of coarse-grained metals. Similarly in pure Titanium after five numbers of ARB cycles incredibly substantial increase in strength together with an only small decrease of ductility has obtained. The result shows that it is achievable to get high strength, except only with significantly reduced ductility.Additionally, a simulated model, founded on lattice defect kinetics has established. This model holds true parameters like dislocation density, vacancy concentration, grains size, etc., found appropriate for the grain refinement throughout and after the SPD process of simulation. It presents quantitatively consistent outcome for the hardening performance and micro-structural development in pre and post SPD deformation. The new results of SPD-processed nano-structured materials are elucidated, particularly considering viable uses. The advantages of nano-structured metals and alloys mostly for aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, electronic industry and for biocompatible are pointed out such as improved hydrogen storage kinetics (Mg-alloys) for fuel cell technology, superior magnets, Ti, Mg-alloys for prostheses, implants, and stents, etc.

Abstract

Whenever “the same thing,” need to be expressed using different ways or by various alternatives an automated paraphrase generation mechanism would be useful. One reason why paraphrase generation systems have been difficult to build is because paraphrases are hard to define. Although the strict interpretation of the term “paraphrase” is quite narrow because it requires exactly identical meaning, in linguistics literature paraphrases are most often characterized by an approximate equivalence of semantics across sentences or phrases. This paper presents a survey of paraphrase generation techniques for Indian and foreign languages.

Abstract

Background: Civil Military Relations (CMR) is a complex mix of explicit, implicit, traditions, precedence, evolutions, powers forming part of the social contract that underpins the country`s governance. Arena of CMR is strategic. There are a few factors known as CMR Enablers and Barriers (EBs), which affect CMR. Objective: To study the basic relationships amongst the shortlisted EBs. Also to understand the driver and driven EBs. Methods and Analysis: Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique with Micmac Analysis was used. The inter-se and inter relationships between the EBs was derived. EBs was further categorized, based on their ability to drive others or their dependence on others. Ultimately, how critical each factor is for the success of CMR was identified. Findings: Legacy, Leadership and National Interest were found to be most critical EBs since they have individual effect on building a dynamic CMR which is of immense importance in Nation building by ensuring cohesiveness among Civil and Military parlors. Conclusion/Further Study: Enablers and Barriers are the key in the effective CMR implementation process. Conclusively, all ten EBs are relevant although they exhibit a varying degree of relative importance. Future study, could quantify the framework obtained from ISM model, using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP).

Abstract

Foreign policy of a nation, also called foreign relations or foreign affairs policy, consists of self-interest strategies chosen by the country to safeguard its national interests and to achieve its goals within international relations setting. India has evolved from a protest voice on the world stage to an active shaper of the international order. India's evolving strategic outlook has made it possible. India slowly opened its economy through careful economic liberalization, and at the same time began to engage with the rest of a world on a different set of norms. By the late 1990's India was willing to place its own national interest - both economic and security-ahead of broader ideas of global justice and equity. This Paper gives a brief overview of how India has evolved its Foreign Policy over the years. It also tries to identify what needs to be done in the coming years to realize India as a Super Power. In order to get actionable pointers on this crucial aspect, an empirical study was conducted. Major stake holders of the economy such as Armed Forces personnel, Bureaucrats, Academicians, Researchers and Students from Pan India were contacted and were asked to answer the questions pertaining to various aspects of foreign policy. The data thus obtained was further analysed and conclusions were drawn on the basis of that. Foreign Policy should be Holistic, Realistic, Interest and Goal based and should be ambitious enough to achieve long-term objectives.

Abstract

Very popular MANET works with some functions like data exchange, communication management and routing etc. based on the cooperation. Assess the trustworthiness of the nodes became important since trust is the pillar for cooperation. For secure routing, an efficient trust management mechanism should be implemented in such a way that it could not change the basic nature of network. Mobility, battery limitation and the computational complexities make the trust evaluation a challenging task. To manage the energy during inside attack this paper proposes a trust based energy efficient routing approach, as the extension of our previous work [10] by including various dimensions of trust such as initial trust, behavioral and recommended trust. Most favourite Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) Routing protocol is used as a representative in the proposed framework. In this paper, a multidimensional trust evaluation security solution is proposed to make minimal changes to the functioning of AODV and achieved an increased level of security and reliability.

Abstract

Chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide, is currently under studies due to its reproductive toxicity in non-targeted organisms. The present study on its efficacy as reproductive toxicant, revealed its effect on testicular cells of caprines. CPF was found to decrease cell viability in testicular cells, induced histo-architectural alterations like loss of tubular interactions and empty luminal spaces in testis; initiated DNA damage associated apoptosis as revealed by MTT, Histology and EB/AO fluorescence assay respectively, at both the doses (10 and 50 μM). CPF mediated toxicity induced oxidative stress in testicular cells as revealed by dose- and time-dependent increase in lipid peroxidation and decline in ferric reducing antioxidant power. However, supplementation of Zingiber officinale (ginger) extract reduced the CPF mediated decrease in cell viability, histological defects, incidence of apoptosis, and generated oxidative stress parameters; thus, proving its potential as a therapeutic agent against CPF, preventing testicular cells toxicity mediated reproductive disorders.

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted at three locations for two seasons, 2018 to 2020 to evaluate the efficacy of soil insecticides against sucking pests of potato. Lowest cumulative mean number of whiteflies was observed with fipronil 0.3G @ 25 kg/ ha, and it was on par with its dose of 20 kg/ ha, cartap hydrochloride 4G @ 20 and @ 25 kg/ ha; overall reduction in whiteflies over control ranged between 56.70 and 59.04% at Jalandhar; 53.17 to 60.89% at Modipuram, and 57.33 to 62.40% at Gwalior. Similar trends were noted for aphids, leaf hoppers and thrips. Based on tuber yield and benefit cost ratio, cartap hydrochloride 4G @ 20 kg/ ha (2.62) and fipronil 0.3G @ 20 kg/ ha (2.47) were found to be the most effective against the sucking pests of potato. Hence, both these can be recommended in potato in place of phorate 10G.

Abstract

Potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae(Thomas) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is colonizing species and vector for many economically important potato viruses. There is dearth of genomic information about this economically important aphid species. Hence, to get insight into the genomic architecture, genome size was determined using flow cytometry. The estimated size of M. euphorbiae was 0.53 pg or 519.4 Mbp. The genome size of M. euphorbiae is approximately 2.9, 2.2 and 1.9x larger than that of Drosophila melanogaster, honey bee (Apis mellifera) and mosquito Anopheles gambiae, respectively. The generated genome size information will provide the foundation for futuristic genomic research on M. euphorbiae.

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted at the ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute-Regional Station, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh during 2015-16 and 2016-17 to evaluate efficacy of mineral and non-edible seed oils against green-peach aphid Myzus persicae and cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci in potato. Three sprays were done at 15 days interval revealed that maximum reduction in their incidence was observed with imidacloprid 17.8SL (0.03%) followed by mineral oil (6 ml/ l); B. tabaci incidence reduced by 72.63% and 61.06%, respectively, while it was 87.60% and 62.27% with M. persicae. Similar trend was observed with all the three sprays. The non-edible oils were not effective. Incidence of viruses was the least (0.26 and 0.27%, respectively) with imidacloprid 17.8SL (0.03%) and mineral oil (6 ml/ l). Thus, imidacloprid 17.8SL (0.03%) and mineral oil (6 ml/ l) can be recommended to manage vector-virus complex in potato.

Abstract

The new pandemic produced by the COVID-19 virus has resulted in an overflow of medical treatment in clinical centers all over the world. The fast and exponential growth in the number of COVID-19-infected individuals has necessitated an effective and timely prediction of probable infections and their effects in order to reduce health-care quality overload. As a result, intelligent models are being developed and used to assist medical workers in making more accurate diagnoses concerning the health condition of COVID-19-infected individuals. The purpose of this research is to present an alternative algorithmic approach for predicting the health status of COVID-19 patients in Mexico. Different prediction models were assessed and compared, including Adaboost, gradient boosting machine, random forests, and light gradient boosting machine. Additionally, Grid search hyperparameter optimization is used to improve the algorithm's success rate. The optimal model feature analysis procedure is being carried out. The purpose of this study is to analyses features in terms of feature importance as indicated by SHapely adaptive exPlanations (SHAP) values in order to identify relevant predictive factors that can identify patients at high risk of mortality.

Abstract

Over 4 million individuals have already died as a result of the deadly contagious viral COVID-19 worldwide. The infection can seriously harm the lungs, increasing the chance of fatal health effects. The only way to lower the mortality rate due to this deadly illness and to halt its growth is through early detection. Deep learning has recently come to light as one of the most useful methods for computer aided diagnosis for helping clinicians make correct illness diagnoses. However, deep learning models require a lot of processing, so hardware with TPUs and GPUs is required to execute these models. To create machine learning models that can be used on mobile and peripheral devices, experts are currently working. In this context, the goal of this study is to create a concise Convolution Neural Network-based computer-aided diagnostic system that can be used on devices with limited processing capacity, such as mobile phones and iPads, to identify the presence of the Covid-19 virus in x-ray pictures. On the basis of various assessment parameters, the findings plainly show that the suggested model outperforms other transfer learning models such as Resnet50, Inception, and Xception. According to various evaluation parameters, the findings definitely show that the proposed model outperforms other transfer learning models like Resnet50, Inception, and Xception.
