Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) is one of the most valuable multipurpose species and its potential has been least exploited. Tree is an outstanding example of the species which is higbly efficient not only in restoring soil productivity but also in providing fodder, fuelwood and other value-added products like medicines, pesticides, mosquito repellent, fertilizers, soaps, lubricants, gums and even contraceptives. Neem is considered as a "wonder tree for the future" for the developing Third World countries in their reforestation and environmental restoration programmes and for providing useful products. Paper comprehensively also outlines the research needs and priorities on the species in terms of utilitarian aspects.

Wireless sensor networks consist of a number of sensing nodes which are distributed in a wide area. They sense an event occurring in the environment and these sensing nodes are distributed or placed according to the requirements of the application. As sensor nodes are deployed in an area where replacement of batteries is not an easy task because of their critical locations e.g. battle surveillance, energy is a critical issue for sensor nodes in WSNs. Each sensor node is consuming some energy with different communication operations. If no external energy provided to it, a sensor can be dead as it participate for long time in the communication. Thus main aim of proposed study is to conserve and balance energy of nodes. The proposed work is to apply the routing algorithm named Global Best Path (GBP) for WSNs based on geographical and energy aware routing (GEAR) for inter-cluster communication as well as for intra-cluster communication. End to end delay and packet delivery ratio are calculated using numerical terms and energy consumption by nodes is shown with the help of graph. The proposed work will improve the efficiency even in case of congested network and improve the network life.Keywords

The present study deals with first-hand information on quantitative assessments of different vegetation layers (viz. trees, saplings, seedlings, shrubs and herbs) collected from 57 permanent plots (size 400 m2), established for long-term monitoring of biodiversity and study of functional aspects in Namdapha National Park (NPP), Arunachal Pradesh, Eastern Himalaya, India during 2017. We grouped all the plots into six clusters as study sites. A total of 60 taxa of trees, 67 shrubs and 81 herbs were recorded within 57 plots during the study. The average species richness per site for trees was 20.83 ± 1.62, saplings 16.0 ± 1.15, seedlings 15.83 ± 1.35, shrubs 23.83 ± 1.58 and herbs 32.67 ± 0.92. Total stem density varied from 117.5 to and 181 ha–1 (152.58 ± 10.04 ha–1) for trees (circumference m31.5 cm), 881 to 3000 ha–1 (1652.17 ± 317.61 ha–1) for shrubs and from 76750 to 98545 ha–1 (92032.17 ± 3246.60 ha–1) for herbs. Tree regeneration status at all the six study sites was ‘good’ (i.e. density of seedlings > saplings > trees). The distribution of tree stems (circumference m31.5 cm) into different size classes showed highest relative density in the lowest stem size class (10–20 cm diameter) which also indicates good tree regeneration in the study area. Dipterocarpus retusus Blume was the most dominant tree species in the core zone area of NNP with ‘good’ regeneration status.Keywords

Now-a-days wireless ad-hoc networks are growing tremendously as its self configuring and self maintaining characteristics and it does not require any well built infra-structure. Since topology of this network is unpredictable as nodes are free to join or leave the any network within its vicinity and there is no clear line of defense. The most challenging task in mobile ad-hoc networks is to provide energy efficient routing protocols as the mobile nodes have limited power and limited bandwidth. In this paper, we evaluated and compared the QoS parameters in terms of route discovery time hopes per route, throughput, network load and delay of different routing protocols using file transfer protocol (FTP) application in order to choose the best routing protocol. FTP application is used to transfer files from source to destination. AODV routing protocol performs slightly better than the DSR routing protocol in terms of throughput and delay.

The routing is restricted by a multiple constraints such as node buffer capacities, residual link capacities, and the number ofhops on the path that often makes the routing problem intractable. These multiple constraints have very diverse effects on delay, delay jitter, loss ratio, bandwidth, and so on especially in distributed applications such as Internet phone and distributed games. Secondly, any future integrated services network is likely to carry both QoS and best effort traffic, which makes the issue of performance optimization complicated. Thirdly, the network state changes dynamically due to transient load fluctuation, connections in and out, link up and down and thus, the growing network size makes it increasingly difficult to gather up-to-date state information in such dynamic environments. The mathematical forms including these factors together becom extremely complex to derive and difficult to work with. This is one area where Adaptive fuzzy mechanism is beneficial.

A wireless ad hoc network is a sovereign system in which users can communicate with each other freely. It can be deployed rapidly at a very low cost, and can be easily managed and extended. Topology management has main objective to maintain a topology connectivity that improves wireless network performance by minimizing energy consumption. Also Topology control with cooperative communication was recently research initiated .Cooperative Communication (CC) is a technique that allows no. of nodes to simultaneously transmit the same data. It can save power and extend transmission coverage. Topology management with cooperative communication is new research initiated in the field of Mobile Ad-hoc Network. In this paper, we analyze the effect of multi-traffic on the topology managed MANET. We implemented some applications on different mobility models that is OLSR move and random mobility. To simulate all scenario OPNET 14.5 software is used. OPNET is a comprehensive suite of tools for modelling large wired and wireless networks. It uses simulation and emulation to predict the behaviour and performance of networks to improve their design, operation and management.
In the first part of paper, implemented the existed network on the OPNET simulator and evaluate the performance (Download Response Time, Traffic Send and Traffic Receive) of OLSR move based topology control network.
In the second part of paper, evaluated the QoS performanc (Delay, Download Response Time, Traffic Send and Receive Response) of Random Mobility based topology control network. From the simulation results we observed that compare with OLSR move models, the Random mobility model performance is good. We implemented different traffic pattern on two Topology managed MANET.
In the third part of paper, implemented the dynamic traffic pattern like Email, FTP&Voice and video conferencing on the proposed network. Simulation results show that FTP and E-mail both have large download response time in case of OLSR move model rather than Random Mobility model. Traffic send and receive performance of email is good in OLSR-move model. Video Conferencing has good response of traffic send and receive in Random Mobility model.

Introduction: Dermatophytosiscomprise approximately 15-75 % of all the mycological infections. It is common in tropical and subtropical countries including India where high temperature and humidity play an important role in the pathogenesis. Dermatophytes are closely related keratinolytic fungi with the ability to degrade keratin and invade the skin, hair and nails causing dermatophytosis.
Objective: To find out the distribution of various dermatophytefungi responsible for the different clinical types of dermatophyte infections. Methods: KOH mount were prepared from the skin scrapings, nail clippings, and hair bits to look for fungal elements. The specimens were also inoculated on Mycosal media and Sabourauds dextrose agar with chloramphenicol. The dermatophytes were identified on the basis of colony characteristics, lactophenol cotton blue mount, nutritional requirement, temperature tolerance, urease production, and in vitro hair perforation test.
Result: A total of 245 patients were included in the study. Tinea corporis was most common clinical type with 102(41.6%) cases followed by T. facei [15 (6.1%)]. T. corporis + T. cruris [88(35.9%)] was most common mixed clinical type. Out of 245 patients, fungal hyphae were seen in 162(66.1%) samples and the rest 83(33.9%) were negative by KOH mount. In the 162 KOH positive samples, 151(91.5%) samples were culture positive and 11(13.7%) were culture negative. In 83(58.9%) KOH negative samples, 14(8.5%) were culture positive and rest 69(86.3%) were culture negative. A total of 165 samples were culture positive, of which T. mentagraphytes was isolated in 153(92.7%) followed by T. rubrum in 5(3.03%), T. violaceum in 3(1.8%), T. tonsurans in 2(1.2%) and M. canis in 2(1.2%) samples.

Pink Bollworm (PBW) incidence on Bollgard-II (BG II) cotton was not observed so far in North Zone of India. During 2018–19 cotton season, BG II cotton was found infested withPink Bollworm at one location in Haryana and two locations inPunjab near cotton ginning and oil extraction units. Cotton seeds are being procured from the central and south India by many units where PBW has already acquired resistance against BG II hybrids. Bioecological and resistance monitoring studies of larvae collected from the infested location revealed absence of larval diapauses in surviving population and resistance levels equivalent to central/south zone populations. The threat perception of pink bollworm in north zone on BG II cotton due to transport of resistant larvae along with cotton seed is discussed.Keywords

Voice assistants based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) are computer programs that use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to recognize and respond to voice commands and queries in a human-like way. These voice assistants use speech recognition technology to understand spoken commands and questions, process them, and provide relevant responses. The objective of this study is to examine the intellectual framework and effectiveness of voice assistants and to analyze the literature produced by renowned researchers in terms of authors, keywords, and major organizations. This review seeks to offer valuable insights into the growing body of literature on virtual assistants. In this article, the authors have used the bibliometric method to systematically summarize the current state of voice assistant research. They analyzed 563 articles related to Voice assistants from the Scopus database between 2002 and 2023 using the R-Studio ‘Biblioshiny’ tool. The analysis includes an examination of the core journals, articles, authors, institutions, and relevant countries to determine the most influential voice assistants literature. This study also provides a detailed understanding of Co-occurrence network, Co-citation network and Coword analysis. The authors have also used thematic maps to identify the different research topics of voice literature and have grouped them into four clusters, including Motor themes, Niche themes, Emerging themes, and Basic themes. The article concludes by discussing the limitations of the study and highlighting future research directions.Keywords
