Two field experiments were conducted during the vegetation periods of 1990-92 under the semiarid tropicai climatic conditions at CIMAP Field Station, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh to study the effects of the height of harvesting and inter cropping lemongrass in lemon-scented gum. Lemonscented gum produced highest biomass and essential oil yields, gross and net profits when pollarded at 1.0 m height than when coppiced at 0.15 m height or pollarded at 1.5 m height. Two rows of lemongrass when intercropped in lemon-scented gum produced bonus yield of lemongrass oil without adversely affecting the biomass and essential oil yields of lemon-scented gum. This agroforestry system gave gross and net profit ofRs. 79,933 and Rs. 53,067 per heetare, respectively. Freshly distilled oil was of good quality with 79.7% ei tronellal, 4.7% isoJ1ulegol, 5.4% eitronellol, bu t on storage the oil quality deteriorated with 50.4% citronellal, 14.3% isopulegol and 17.3% eitronellol, therefore the oil should be disposed off quickly.- Effect of Solid Content of Adhesive on the Compression Strength of Finger Jointed Sections

An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of solid content of urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive on the compression parameters of finger jointed sections of Eucalyptus wood. Three concentrations designated as UF1, UF2 and UF3 had solid contents of 36.8 %, 44.9 % and 57.6 % respectively. All three concentrations showed good efficiency under compression parallel to grain when small sections were joined with finger jointing. The study illustrated that a UF concentrations at 36.8 % to 57.6% solid content range can perform equally well when eucalyptus sections are joined with the finger profile used in the study.Keywords

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. It is the most common method for treating symptomatic gallstones. Surgical options include the standard procedure, called laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and an older more invasive procedure, called open cholecystectomy. A traditional open cholecystectomy is a major abdominal surgery in which the surgeon removes the gallbladder through a 8-10 cm incision. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy as the first-choice of treatment for gallstones unless there are contraindications to the laparoscopic approach. The operation usually requires general anaesthesia and is subject to the same risks and complications as open cholecystectomy. However, patients have little pain after the operation, and hospital stays (1-2 days) and recovery (1-2 weeks) are usually shorter than after open cholecystectomy. So, the purpose of the study is the usefulness of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis in present set up of LLRM Medical College&Hospital, Meerut. Operations were performed by consultant surgeons or senior residents under their direct supervision, all having sufficient skills and experience in both types of procedures. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy did not differ much from open cholecystectomy regarding mortality, major complications and bile duct injuries. However, laparoscopic cholecystectomy leads to shorter incisional wounds; lesser incidence of post operative wound infections and seems to be associated with a shorter hospital stay and hence faster return to work. These seems the reasons for laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the preferred method of choice above open cholecystectomyKeywords

Species diversity and vegetation health are two critical components to be monitored for sustainable forest management and conservation of biodiversity. The present study characterizes species dominance and α -diversity of a forest for the selected region in Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary (MWS), Western Ghats, which represents one of the most economically important forest types in India – the tropical dry deciduous forest. NASA’s Next-Generation Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS-NG) data at spectral resolution of 5 nm and spatial resolution of 5 m were used to analyse the forest matrix. Biodiversity (α -diversity) map thus generated from airborne platform over 14.5 sq. km area mostly represents the forest tree species diversity. Dominant tree species in the study area were also mapped using AVIRIS data for 21.7 sq. km. Canopy emergent dominant species, viz. Anogeissus latifolia, Tectona grandis, Terminalia alata, Grewia tiliifolia, Syzygium cumini and Shorea roxburghii were classified using spectral angle mapper technique and image-based spectra in the MWS study site. The study shows that nearly 40% area is dominated by A. latifolia and 27.5% by T. grandis in the study site. This study concludes that AVIRIS data can be used in the delineation of species and α -diversity mapping at community level; however, the accuracy achieved for species classification is moderate (60%) due to intermixing of species in the study area. For the Shimoga study site in Karnataka, the field spectra were collected using a spectroradiometer and used for the classification for the three dominant tree species using absorption peak decomposition technique. Fieldcollected pure spectra were analysed and species-wise absorption peaks (Gaussian) with central wavelength, peak amplitude and dispersion were used as the endmembers for classification. AVIRIS-NG data over Shoolpaneshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (SWS) study site used for fuel load estimation with narrow band indices calculated from AVIRIS-NG datasets. AVIRIS-NG data for MWS and Shimoga study site were collected during 2 and 5 January 2016, while for SWS site data were collected on 8 February 2016.Keywords

Variability in the leaf phenology of tropical trees impacts their growth. How phenology of tree species responds over rainfall gradient is relevant to study in the light of current climatic changes. Airborne visible and infrared imaging spectrometer-next generation (AVIRIS-NG) spectral datasets have been considered for this study as they not only provide wider area of coverage, but also high spatial and spectrally resolved output. Canopy-level spectra of 16 common species of four different forest covers in India were synced with observed phenology phase and the annual rainfall in each forest cover was recorded. Reflectance spectra of the same species in the four forest covers distinctively differed over rainfall gradient, indicating intra-species pliability. Consistent lower reflectance/higher absorp-tion at chlorophyll bands of all the common deciduous species in the higher annual rainfall region over that with relatively lower rainfall indicated that deciduous species acclimate green foliage phase of the phenology cycle. Boxplots of reflectance values of chlorophyll absorption band of 16 species showed a decrease in the variability of the datasets over the four forest co-vers, revealing that increasing rainfall provides better synchrony in the phenology phase of the observed tree species. The study highlights the importance of AVIRIS-NG spectral datasets in monitoring different phases of forest phenology associated with growth potential dynamics effectively under changing rainfall pattern.Keywords
