VHDL modeling and simulation of a typical data scrambler and descrambler for secure data communication has been presented. The encoder and decoder has been implemented using VHDL approach which allows the reconfigurablity of the proposed system such that the key can be changed as per the security requirements. The power consumption and space requirement is very less compared to conventional discrete I.C. design which is pre-requisite for any system designer. The design has been synthesized on EP1S0F484C5 of Straitx FPGA family. The results of the simulation have been found to be satisfactory and are in conformity with theoretical observations.Keywords

Two species of Girvanella (G. ducii and G. wetheredii) have been observed during the course of microfacies analysis of limestones of Pirpanjal range. Observations made on three types of Girvanella clasts (tubules, rafts and oncolites) and the associated allochems have revealed calcified algal contribution to the sediments in the form of algal clasts and production of micrite by boring and perforating activities of the Girvanella. The preservation of porous and delicate Girvanella rafts indicates very little reworking prior to transport and deposition.Keywords

This paper embodies the results on the study of depositional environment, provenance and tectonic setting of Middle Siwalik Subgroup of Jammu region. The data obtained on lithofacies, sedimentary structures and nature of contacts between various lithofacies, suggest multiple episodes of avulsion and abandonment of the channel system for a new course in braided river system. Four variable plot of quartz types shows that these sediments have been derived from low rank metamorphic source. The detrital modes (quartz, feldspar and lithic fragments) plotted on complementary ternary diagrams (QFL and QmFLt) indicate that these sediments have been shed from recycled orogens, transitional arc and transitional continental provinces.Keywords

This paper embodies the results of palaeocurrent analysis of two stratigraphic sections exposed at Parmandal-Uttarbani and Papar-Nad, Jammu. The general palaeoflow patterns are due south-southwesteriy with the temporal palaeoflow variations of 40°-183° and 41°-144°for the Middle and Upper Siwalik Subgroups respectively. In the Middle Siwalik Subgroup of Papar-Nad section and Upper Siwalik Subgroup of Parmandal-Uttarbani section, four palaeoflow reversals have been recorded. The temporal palaeoflow patterns and the reversals are related to the tectonic episodicity of the intrabasinal tectonic structures and the basin margin activity.Keywords

The Habo Dome Sandstone of Chari Formation has been analyzed for petrofacies and diagenetic history. The sandstones are generally medium to coarse grained and moderately to well sorted. These sandstones are composed of several varieties of quartz, feldspar, rock fragments, micas and a suit of heavy minerals derived from the Aravalli Range and Nagarparkar massif. The petrofacies analysis reveals that these sandstones belong to the continental block, recycled orogen and rifted continental margin tectonic regime.
During mechanical compaction rearrangement of grains took place and point and long contacts were formed. The sandstones were cemented by calcite, iron oxide, silica, chalcedony and glauconite cements in order of abundance. Different graphs of porosity versus depth suggest a depth of burial in the range of 615 to 769m.

This paper describes 10 microfacies types in the Jumara Coral Limestone and Echinoderm Packstone Members (early Late Bathonian age) of Jhurio Formation of the Jumara Dome. The temporal distribution of these microfacies associations reflects an ideal shallowing upward sequence, representing a system of bioclastic bars separating the basin from lagoon environment. Evidence suggests evolving of this bioclastic bar system upward into an oolitic Bar-to-Bank system. Three types of cements (bladed to fibrous, blocky and syntaxial overgrowth) occur in these carbonates. The study also reveals that chemical compaction followed the two phases of early mechanical compaction that largely governed porosity of these limestones. Diagenetic signatures in these carbonates suggest that marine phreatic, under saturated fresh water phreatic and mixing marine fresh water phreatic environments dominated but deep burial diagenesis also played its role in shaping these rocks through time. Evidence suggests that both primary and secondary porosity exist in these carbonates, which determine the permeability in these rocks.Keywords

The sandstones of the Upper Katrol Formation were studied with a view to understand the nature of Kachchh basin in relation to provenance and tectonic setting in the vicinity of Nakhtarana area. These Upper Katrol sandstones are fine to coarse grained, moderately to poorly sorted, sub-Angular to sub-Rounded and of moderate sphericity. These sandstones are composed of several varieties of quartz, feldspar, rock fragments, micas and a suite of heavy minerals derived from the Aravalli Range and Nagarparkar massif. Our study reveals that these sediments were derived from the continental block orogen provenance characterized by collision suture and fold thrust belts. Three types of cement encountered in this study include iron oxide, calcite and silica. Evidence of diagenetic modifications suggests an early stage of burial to a depth of 748 to 932 m for these sandstones. Porosity reduction is mainly due to early stage mechanical compaction and subsequent pervasive calcite and Fe-Calcite cementation, which was followed by the late stage authigenic kaolinization in the secondary pore space.Keywords

The paper embodies results of petrofacies, detrital mineralogy, texture and diagenetic aspects of glauconitic sandstones of Kheinjua Formation of Vindhyan Basin, Son valley These glauconitic sandstones consisting of various types of quartz, feldspar, rock fragments, mica and a sulte of heavy minerals, are medium to very fine grained, and well to moderately well sorted These sediments including glauconite grams are generally subangular to subroundcd with a few grams bang well rounded These sandstones are well compacted and dominated by interpenetrative contacts and are maniy cemented by iron cement with small amount of glauconite and silica cement The existing optical poroslly has developed due to dissolution of Iron cement, feldspar and rock fragments These observations suggest progressive compaction, which initiated at the sediment-water interface and continued till deep bunal diagenesis in a rapidly subsiding basin
The plots of petrofacies in Qt-F-L, Qm-F-Lt, Qp-Lvm-Lsm and Qm-P-K ternary diagrams suggest mainly basement uplift source (craton interior) In a rifted continental margin basin setting, which has also received sediment Input from recycled orogen provenance The plot of various quartz types on diamond diagrarn after Basu et a1 (1975) reflects derivation of the sediments from the plutonic and middle to high-rank metamorphic terrains Besides, Lower part of the Semri Group, the most probable provenance of these sandstones IS Bijawar metasedimentary and Bundelkhand Gneissic complexes, which bordered the basin in the north and northeast.

Early Carboniferous sequence of Kashmir represents a mixed siliciclastic - carbonate strata, where the lower part is dominated by carbonates and the upper part is rich in siliciclastic rocks. Siliciclastic sediments are mainly arenite, siltstone and claystone. Coarse grain size and bimodality of arenites suggest a high energy environment in the onshore region. Lithofacies and microfacies analyses of the carbonates reveal that they are deposited as turbidite either in the deeper part of the shelf or in the distal part of shelf/slope. Some of the carbonate facies, reflecting shallower microfacies, is deposited on the platform in subtidal and intertidal (peritidal) zone.The increase of siliciclastic material in the depositional basin indicates progradational phase of sedimentation which in turn suggests the lowering of sea level. These deposits represent peritidal (intertidal to subtidal) lithofacies. In fact, there has been retrogradational and progradational phases of sedimentation in the Tethyan basin of Kashmir, but the frequency of siliciclastics increases from middle to top of the Syringothyris Limestone. This feature'suggests the overall shallowing of the basin, but intermittent deposition of carbonates reveals the periodic transgression or subsidence of the depositional basin.

Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) G. Don (Deodar) is one amongst the prominent conifer species of temperate region of India. Good seed year in this species occurs once in 4-5 years and the seeds do not retain viability for more than one season under normal ambient temperature. Standardization of suitable storage condition is pre-requisite for the management of its germplasm. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to assess the effect of storage temperatures and type of containers on viability and germination during different storage periods (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months). The seeds were stored in three different types of containers (Polybags, Earthen pots and Plastic containers) and kept at three different temperature regimes (Room temperature, 4.0±1.0°C and 8.0±1.0°C). Results revealed that seed stored in earthen pots at 4.0±1.0°C retained significantly (P < 0.05) higher viability (73.0%), germination (70.0%) and germination value (19.50) after 18 months of storage as compared to other storage conditions. Notably, a sharp decline in viability and germination was recorded in seeds stored in polybags placed at room temperature. Possible reasons of such variation in results have been discussed. The implementation of these results for conservation management especially nursery development and sustainable utilization of Deodar in Himalayan region have been suggested.Keywords

This work, based on sedimentological data collected from two stratigraphic sections at Lambar and Malvat (Banihal area), reports the turbidite to storm influenced sedimentation of "Syringothyris Limestone" sequence, Kashmir Himalaya. An upward progresssion of the sequence reflects the depositional record of fine grained turbidite to storm - and wave - influenced sedimentation. Sedimentary structures like short wave length symmetrical ripples. flat lamination, thin graded bedding and structures in muddy siltstones suggest deposition in low energy, wave influenced settings, The storm influenced sediments display hummocky, cross stratification. skolithos ichinofacies, granule/shelly lags, mega ripples, low angle cross lamination and convolute lamination. The whole sequence is interpreted to represent episodic storm influenced sedimentation in a shallow basin, largely controlled by tectonic activity, The Markov Chain models structured for this sequence also suggest episodic sedimentation and do not show any cyclicity,Keywords

The traditional agroforestry systems have gained wider attention in the international agreements and among academicians and policy makers for their multifunctional role and dynamics of ecosystem services. The multifunctional traditional agroforestry systems support substantial ecosystem services and livelihoods to the rural communities in Kashmir. They are considered to be adaptive to the climate change situations and serve as efficient means to carbon sinks. Due to the remarkable significance of traditional agroforestry systems in the valley ecosystem, environment and livelihood, the systems have been considered as a promising land use pattern in the valley. With climate change rapidly impacting both ecosystems and services in the valley, the sustainability of dynamic traditional agroforestry systems is now facing new challenges and vulnerabilities. Indigenous knowledge on traditional agroforestry is an integral part of the culture and history of the local communities which offer opportunities for sustainable management of resources and support socio-ecological and socio-economic benefits. The indigenous knowledge on agroforestry needs to be further strengthened through research and development to achieve the goals of sustainable development.Keywords

The dynamic carbon accounting model CO2FIX was used for evaluating carbon stocks and estimate greenhouse gas mitigation through tree-based systems, outside the forest area, in Kupwara district of Kashmir valley India. Primary survey results revealed that on an average, there were about 135 trees per hectare, existing on farmers' field. Malus (33.75%), populus (29.91%), salix (14.32%), juglans (6.68%) and robinia (4.7%) were dominant tree species. Paddy and maize are the dominant kharif crops, whereas rabi season is dominated by oilseeds and fodder crops. The carbon sequestration potential, all the three pools simultaneously (viz. tree, crop and soil), of existing agroforestry systems (AFS) has been predicted as 0.88 Mg C ha-1 yr-1. AFS at district level are estimated to sequester 146,996 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, which may offset completely the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture/irrigation sector on account of electricity consumption throughout the state of Jammu and Kashmir.Keywords

In February 2009, a huge landslide occurred at Assar in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir state. The slide triggered after the reservoir level of the Baglihar dam increased from initial water level of 850 m to 870 m. The impounding of reservoir water created high angle scarps at number of fossil slide sites on either side of the river within the reservoir area. One such scarp (about 250 m long) at Assar caused a huge landslide washing out about 150 m road stretch. The sliding material is dominated by finer fraction (71.5 %) of micaceous silty sand and coarser fraction of gravel to boulder size. Over saturation of the slope forming material, weak rocks and high absorption and swelling nature of the soil, high slope angle and toe cutting by the water are the main reasons that triggered this slide.Keywords

Ulmus villosa and Ulmus wallichiana are agroforestry tree species of the Kashmir valley, India. Low viability and less longevity of the seeds limit their propagation. The hardwood stem cuttings of both species were propagated in growing medium (soil, sand and a mixture of cocopeat : vermiculite : perlite) and treated with different indole-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations. The results showed maximum sprouting, ischolar_maining, survival, shoot length, ischolar_main length, and leaf area at 2500 and 2000 ppm IBA for U. villosa and U. wallichiana respectively. Moreover, with cocopeat : vermiculite : perlite 2 : 1 : 1, significant results were observed in both the species. The interaction between planting media and IBA concentration showed significant variance.Keywords
