The present paper records some of the remnant vertical and horizontal to sub-horizontal gas migration channels in the Deccan Trap basalts from the vertical escarpment face at Bhaja Caves. These could have developed during the eruption, migration, inflation and overriding of the basaltic lava flows. The accumulated entrapped gases and volatiles of the lower flows migrated vertically and laterally into offshoots along the upper contacts or within the flow itself. In most cases, the vesicles are found to be empty as well as filled with the secondary minerals.Keywords

The Food and Agricultural organization of the United Nations (FAO, 2002), have defined food security as a situation when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Food security has been considered as a part of livelihood security which has been defined as adequate and sustainable access to income and resources to meet basic needs viz., adequate access to food, potable water, health facilities, educational opportunities, housing and time for community participation and social integration (Frankenberger, 1996). The rural livelihoods in India involve a variety of on-farm and off-farm activities culminating in to the availability of food or cash by which food or other survival necessities can be procured. Therefore, livelihood is a complex term and can have several possible sources of entitlement varying with each household (Drinkwater and McEwan, 1992).Keywords

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, value-added agriculture occurs whenever a change in the physical state or form of an agricultural product or the adoption of a production method or handling process leads to an enhancement in the customer base for the product and a greater portion of the consumer's expenditure spent on the product accruing to the producer (Boadu, 2016).- Effect of Shodhana Treatment on Chronic Toxicity and Recovery of Aconite

Aconite is one of the poisonous plants used therapeutically in practice of Ayurveda after proper treatment called as ‘Shodhana’. To determine the effect of Shodhana treatment on chronic toxicity and to assess the effect of recovery period after chronic toxicity of aconite. Raw aconite (RV), urine treated aconite (SM), and milk treated aconite (SD) were administered in 6.25 mg/kg dose in Charles Foster strain albino rats for 90 days for chronic toxicity. Six rats from each were kept for another 30 days without test drugs treatment to observe recovery from chronic toxicity. RV was found to be highly toxic in chronic exposure, SM had no apparent toxicity, but SD had mild toxicity in kidney. The toxicities of RV and SD were reversible, but sudden withdrawal of SM caused adverse effects, suggestive of tapering withdrawal. Shodhana treatments remove toxic effects from raw aconite. Chronic toxicity of aconite is reversible. Confirmed the arrangement of abstractKeywords

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process has lot of social and economical implication. Critical set of variables are involved in this process, and they are needed to be controlled. An attempt has been made in this paper to find out- the influence of the heat input on HAZ hardness (change of hardness & microstructure) for Submerged Arc Welding Process of Mild steel plates. Mild steel plates are welded by changing input variables (current, voltage, trolley speed, i.e. heat input) and Rockwell hardness No. on different grid points (points are taken horizontally & vertically 2 mm apart) of welded surface and at the zone adjacent to the welded portion has been observed. A detailed analysis of the microstructure changes is carried out to understand the HAZ softening phenomenon.

In this paper, an attempt has been taken to develop a model to predict the yield characteristics (weld bead parameters) of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) process with the help of neural network technique. The SAW process has been chosen for this application because of the complex set of variables and high set up cost involved in the process as well as its significant application in the manufacturing of critical equipments which have a lot of economic and social implications.
Under this study the neural network model has been trained according to the actual inputs and outputs.
After completing training, the desired inputs have been given to the model and it gives the estimated output value. And according to this we can also estimate the error between the actual and predicted results. Neural network is implemented here because of having remarkable ability to derive meaning from complicated or imprecise data and can be used to extract patterns and detect trends that are too complex to be noticed by either humans or other computer techniques. Hence a trained neural network can be thought of as an "expert" in the category of information it has been given to analyses.
