Abstract

The genus Bambusa Schreber is based on the type Bambos arundinacea Retzius. McClure (1946), on the basis of Retzius description and other evidence concluded that the Retzius specimen resembled Bambusa vulgaris Schrader ex Wendland and not B. arundinacea Willd., the thorny bamboo. McClure, therefore, chose the illustration of 'Illy' in Rortus indicus malnbaricus of Rheede as the type of thorny bamboo and suggested the use of the combination Bambusa bumbos (Linn.) Voss. This combination has been followed by several recent authors. Holttum, (l956b) examined the type sheet of Bambos arundinacea and concluded that it carried two elements mounted on the sheet. He chose the element on the right side of the sheet to represent the thorny bamboo of India and the type of species ofBambusa. Later, McClure (1957) also agreed with Holttum's views. Thus the correct name for the thorny bamboo of India is Bambusa arundinarea (Retz.) Willd. and not Bambusa bambos (Linn.) Voss

Abstract

Himachal Pradesh is blessed with extraordinary vegetation and floral assemblages, which can be attributed to the wide altitudinal range coupled with local variations in edaphic and climatic factors. Eight species belonging to 5 genera of bamboo are distributed in the state, occupying an area of 60 sq km. This paper presents a brief account of these bamboos together with a key to their identifications in the field.

Abstract

The present paper presents conditional probabilities of occurrence of moderate earthquakes considering the likelihood of occurrence of the next large earthquake in the seismically active regions in India where the last such occurrence has crossed the return periods. The conditional probabilities have been estimated using Weibull distribution. The estimations have been carried out for 24 seismogenic sources earmarked in the Indian subcontinent. The cumulative and conditional probabilities have been interpreted with respect to the last earthquake occurrence in the time intervals of 15 and 50 years. Most of the seismically active regions are found to have lesser recurrence of earthquakes with specific magnitudes as compared with the estimations being carried out using classical probabilistic seismic hazard assessment approach.

Abstract

The study was conducted in 12 adopted villages. A total of 120 respondents were randomly selected for the study. This study aims to assess information on knowledge level of recommended goat rearing practices by goat keepers. The findings revealed that 77.50 per cent of the respondents had low level of knowledge regarding improved feeding followed by 63.34 per cent had high level of knowledge regarding improved breeding, 72.50 per cent had high level of knowledge regarding improved management and 52.50 per cent had medium level of knowledge about improved health care practices and on the overall basis the level of knowledge regarding improved management was 69.20 per cent followed by improved breeding (67.46%), improved health care practices (58%) and improved feeding (34.16%). Knowledge gap was highest in improved feeding (65.84%) overall knowledge was noted to be 60.32 per cent and knowledge gap was 39.67 per cent. In case of correlation co-efficient variables i.e. annual income, land holdings, cosmopoliteness, source of information, extension contact, number of animals and housing pattern were found to be significantly correlated with knowledge of recommended goat rearing practice of the respondents. In the case of multiple regression analysis, only 2 variables i.e. extension contact and number of animals showed the significant contribution in the knowledge of recommended goat rearing practices.

Abstract

This study was focused to investigate the communicational traits of the tribal millet farmers which are affecting their level of awareness and utilisation of the recommended cultivation practices of small millets in the Bastar Plateau Zone of Chhattisgarh State of India. Data were collected through the personal interview, with the help of interview schedule prepared in Hindi. The results revealed that, millets were used for strengthening of mud walls, as fertilizer for onion fields, diseases and insect-pest control, protecting pulses in storage, for baking of earthen pots, treatment of animals and poultry, raising milk productivity in cattle, treatment of burns, etc. and many more uses. The other uses of small millets included, use as snacks, green fodder, medicinal uses, useful in diabetes for lowering of blood sugar, nutritionally superior to other fine cereals, and many more.

Abstract

The seismic data recorded by the 'Digital Telemetered SeismiC Network' (DTSN) in Kumaun Himalaya during the period May 1999 to November 2000 have been used to calculate some of the source parameters and to comment upon the seismotectonic activity in the Kumaun-Garhwal region of the Himalaya. The source parameters have been calculated using the Brune's model of the earthquake source. The earthquakes are found to have very low stress drops. The maximum stress drop is found to be 95 bars for an earthquake of magnitude 34 with focal depth of 23 4 km. The shallow focus events having low stress drop indicate that the crust has low strength to withstand the accumulated strain energy. An endeavour has been made to empirically correlate the seismic moment magnitude to the source parameters computed in this part of the Himalaya. The epicentral locations indicate that the Kumaun Himalaya region between Main Central Thrust (MCT) and Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) is a seismically active zone.

Abstract

This paper presents the quantification of effects of local soi1 conditions in form of amplification factors for seismic microzonation of Delhi. The general procedure adopted in this investrgation for evaluating ground motion amplification is based on the use of the one-Dimensional equivalent-Linear model. A series of soil models have been developed that represent a simplified version of the geologic conditions that occur within the study area. The determination of depth and velocity values used for the half-Space boundary is based on the deep shear wave velocity profiles reported at different sites. Different maps such as resonance frequency, soil thickness, maximum ground motion amplification factors at resonance, average ground motion amplification factors in different frequency bands, etc are presented for variety of end-User communities, including structural and geotechnical engineers, building officials, emergency managers, land-Use planners, private businesses, and the general public. The maps reported in this study are preliminary in nature and need upgradation when an area is covered with much denser soil information.

Abstract

Women are being sharing the half of the population of our country. This study has focused towards the reason behind the involvement of women towards leadership. Constitutions have tried to evict the gender discrimination. 50 per cent reservation of women representatives of Panchayats had blommed the engagement of both the genders equally. The women representatives (Sarpanchs) have several reasons behind to put themselves in this agenda. Here, 112 women Sarpanchs were selected to provide the reason and perception of them towards leadership. The analysis reveals that majority (45.53%) of had participated in the leadership due to reservation for women. Also the 83.03 per cent of them had perception regarding improvement of social status of women among the society. This could be further promoted by encouraging women in every field of leadership.
