Abstract

In order to improve the utilization of human and animal energy and to popularize the organic and animal farming for sustainable rural development through making animal farming more pleasant and comfortable, a prototype implement named Animal Drawn Tillage Cart (ADTC) was designed, developed and tested with two suitable attachments i.e. cultivator, and hook patella. The above attachments tested for preparation of seed bed with collecting and removing clocked debris by sitting on the cart. The unit was developed at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, IGKVV, (CG) during year 2005. Both the attachments were tested in the inceptisol soil at different moisture (18 to 24%, db) and depth level (5 to 10 cm). Performance parameters with animal fatigue were observed. The draft and field capacity increased with the depth and number of tines, respectively. Average draft with the three tined cultivator and 11 tined hook patella were recorded 85 and 80 kg, field capacity about 0.9 and 1.0 ha/day, field efficiency 64 and 72 %, cost of operation 323 and 321 Rs./ha, respectively. In 4 hr continuously working the animal shown fatigue level (score 19) while operator reported negligible fatigue. The control lever functioned well and the unclogging of whole debris by pressing the foot lever and lowering/raising of implement achieved promptly through operating levers by sitting position. Additional saving of Rs412/ha in cost of operation was recorded over traditional local ploughing (Rs 734/ha), beside saving in time by 13.5 % AND SAVING IN ENERGY BY 163 mj/HA. The fabrication cost of animal drawn tillage cart (ADTC) with cultivator and hook patella attachments was found to be Rs. 8000/per set.

Abstract

A noise source can be very complex in nature. In noise control engineering an essential first step is to identify the strongest contributing noise sources. There are many tools available for predicting noise levels in industrial workrooms. These comprise simple theoretical formulae or empirical models as well as more complex methods of image or ray-tracing approaches. These more complex methods, such as the ray-tracing approaches, are proven prediction methods, but they involve considerable calculation times. Simple formulae and empirical models involve reduced computation times, at the cost of reduced performance.

Keywords

Noise Sources, Octave Bands, Sound Propagation Curve.

Abstract

Increasing populations along the coast are thought to be resulting in added pressure on limited and increasingly vulnerable coastal resources. While many of the coastal poor fishermen depend on the natural environment to sustain their livelihoods, they are unable to derive and adequate livelihood and continue to remain in poverty. Alternative livelihoods in this situation are seen as a solution to combat poverty by providing alternative means of deriving an income. The present study was conducted during 2011 taking 120 respondents from six villages namely, Gopalpur, Sana Arjipalli, Bada Arjipalli, Haripur, New Buxipalli and Purunabandha along Gopalpur coast of Odisha for their preference twards alternative livelihod. Among the 23 alternative livelihood options, 7 numbers of alternative livelihood options were identified as perceived by the respondents of six coastal villages of different category household. They were dry fish preparing, dry fish marketing, poultry rearing, goat/sheep/pig rearing, vegetable marketing, establishment of grocery shop and vegetable farming. Out of these 7 important alternative livelihood options, dry fish preparation and dry fish marketing were fishery based activities; poultry and goat/sheep/pig rearing were livestock based activities and vegetable marketing and farming were agriculture based activities and establishment of grocery shops are income generating activities. Looking to the different household livelihood system, all categories were interested to take up dry fish preparation and dry fish marketing. However, 42.5 per cent respondents including all the low group and only 15.85 per cent of middle group household respondents took interest for poultry rearing as well as goat/sheep/pig rearing as alternative livelihood option. Besides, 19.16 per cent respondents took interest in vegetable marketing as alternative livelihood option. Besides, among the income generation activities as alternative livelihood option, establishment of grocery shop was the choice of 16.66 per cent respondents.

Abstract

The present work investigate on parametric study and optimization of process parameter in resistance spot weld efficiency of chromate micro-alloyed cold rolled mild steel sheets using L₂₅ Taguchi design of experiments. The output responses are being studied as tensile shear strength of the weldment and nugget diameter which is affected by the input variables like weld current, electrode force and weld time. Both output responses were optimized to achieve effective values by using conventional Taguchi based Grey Relational Analysis and a Metaheuristics method as Genetic Algorithm. Here in present work two main goals specifically tensile shear strength and nugget diameter simultaneously optimized using multi-objective genetic algorithm. The analytical results were validated with experimental run so to analyze the efficiency of methods.

Abstract

Experimental investigation of paddy drying using vertical and inclined fluidized bed was carried out, using various inventories, inclinations, and air (passed through the blower, used for drying) temperatures. For the vertical bed, the drying times were found to be 80 min and 70 min for air temperatures 60°C and 65°C respectively, which is same for the bed with an inclination of 45°, given the same conditions. The bed with an inclination of 30° has the shortest drying time, i.e., 40 min for 65°C and 45 min for 60°C, thereby reducing the moisture content from 62% to 8.5%. 15° and 30° inclined beds consume the least energy due to better heat transfer and hydrodynamics, and less drying time.

Abstract

Aim: The study was designed to evaluate the hemato-biochemical alterations, urinalysis along with histomorphological and histological changes of prostate glands in dogs affected with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in and around Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.
Materials and Methods: In toto, 445 dogs presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex of the College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, one Government Veterinary Hospital and two pet clinics in and around Bhubaneswar screened for the presence of BPH. Most of the 57 dogs were 6 years and above as reported by the owners. Only 57 dogs found positive for BPH basing on the presence of typical clinical signs subjected for a detailed hemato-biochemical study. Most of the 57 dogs were 6 years and above as reported by the owners. Routine and microscopic urinalyses were done as per the routine procedure. Histomorphological evaluations of prostate glands were done through manual rectal palpation. Histological examinations of prostate tissue sections of two dead dogs were conducted with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain.
Results: The study revealed about 12.8% (57/445) of dogs was suffering from BPH. Typical clinical signs-such as passing small thin tape-shaped feces, holding tail away from backward, tenesmus, and straining during urination and defecation-were seen in most of the cases. Urine samples of affected dogs were positive for glucose, occult blood, and protein. A significant decrease in lymphocytes and increase in eosinophil counts in dogs with BPH was recorded. Serum biochemical analysis showed a nonsignificant increase in creatinine and blood urea nitrogen with a significant decrease in total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio. Histology of prostate glands collected during postmortem was characterized by fibrosis of prostate gland, and hyperplasia of the acinar epithelium.
Conclusions: High rate of the prevalence of BPH in dogs poses an alarming condition which if diagnosed at an early stage can certainly prolong the longevity of the dogs.

Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the impact of the Serlui-B hydel project on water quality of Serlui river, Mizoram, North East India, using two popular mathematical indices, i.e. water quality index (WQI) and synthetic pollution index (SPI) and various water quality parameters. Three sampling sites were selected upstream and downstream of the river relative to the hydel project site. The computation of WQI and SPI indicates good quality of water at site 1 (upstream of the reservoir). In site 2 (in the reservoir) and site 3 (downstream of the reservoir) water quality got poorer because of the decrease in dissolved oxygen.
