In the present paper an attempt has been made to study different factors affecting fuelwood consumption. The extent of dependance on forests for fuel-wood, at a village level has also been estimated by using the survey data. The study was conducted in the higher hills of district Shimla of Himachal Pradesh during the summer season of 1985. The study revealed that firewood is the only source of cooking energy in the area. It has been found that the number of meals cooked in a day has got significant effect on the fuelwood consumption followed by the number of persons per hearth. The effect of availability of fuelwood from owned sources has not been found to be significant. Further, for more than 80 per cent of their fuel- wood requirements villagers were found to depend on forests and about 15 per cent of fuel-wood requirement is being met from owned sources.

All the political systems are embedded in their historical past, though they work differently in different political and social settings. Democracy and representative institutions are however, by no means entirely new to India. Existence of some deliberative representative bodies and democratic self governing institutions could be traced back to as early as the Vedic age. Even in Ancient period, justice, religion and law were closely interconnected. The King, with the assistance of his ministers, carried on the Kingdom's administration. There was no separation of powers between legislative and judicial bodies of the state. They functioned co-operatively with each other under the authority of the King. In this article an attempt has been made to trace the historical background of representative institutions in India. After that the development, functioning and relationship between these institutions has been also discussed.Keywords

In modern world, Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) has significant role in communications. DTN's are used in various applications like military wars and conflicts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, terrorist attacks etc. DTN provides environment where two nodes can only exchange messages when they move into the transmission range of each other due to Intermittent Connectivity in the network. Security is main challenge in these types of networks. In this paper we have elaborated various DTN routing protocols and its variants along with security issues.Full Text

Background/objectives: Flexible manufacturing is a concept which allows manufacturing under highly customized production requirements. The aim of this simulation study is to scrutinize the effect of routing flexibility on the different performance measures in the proposed FMS (Flexible manufacturing systems). Methods/Statistical Analysis: The proposed FMS have been modeled based on the input data and the system parameters using ARENA simulation software. ANOVA has been used for analyzing the simulation results in different manufacturing scenarios. Findings: The developed simulation model aids in better routing of jobs in real manufacturing scenario under breakdown situations. An investigation using simulation results has been made to present the comparative study on flexible routing of jobs in an FMS environment which is subject to unexpected machining area break downs. Using ARENA simulation software the result obtained from the developed model for performance measures have been analyzed. The transfer time has been found more influencing than other factors on the performance of the system. Applications/Improvements: The proposed simulation model aids in improved design, planning and control of jobs and to arrive at judicious types and levels of routing in order to attain an enhanced performance in a complex manufacturing system under the breakdown situations.Full Text

In this study, fifty two microbes were isolated from dairy effluent (DE) collected from effluent treatment plant of dairy industry. All the microbial isolates were screened for DE degradation efficiency by analysing physico-chemical parameters like COD, BOD, DO, TDS, salinity and conductivity. Four microbial isolates E3, E5, E11 and F5 showed more than 55% reduction in COD, BOD, DO and were selected for molecular characterization by 16S/5.8S rRNA sequencing. These efficient degraders E3, E5, E11 and F5 were identified as Serratia marcescens, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Brachybacetrium muris and Cunninghamella echinulata (100-99% pairwise similarity) species. The present study concluded that these strains had potential of reducing the organic load of dairy effluent and appear to be most promising organisms for bioremediation of dairy wastewater.Keywords
