The utility of permanent sample plots in assessment of stand growth highlighted. This method is also followed in stands of mixed species. Measurement of plots in mixed species and analysis of data collected present serious problems. Therefore, quite often indication of approximate growth is visualised from basic data. Basic sample plot data from forests of dry deciduous, semi-evergreen and Moist mixed deciduous forests are quoted. Further attempt has also been made to obtain an estimate of growth of mixed plantations by application of regressions.- Growth Performance of Cryptomeria japonica in Hills of West Bengal

Correlations between various stand parameters have been obtained on the basis of 172 measurements in temporary and permanent sample plots in sal (coppice). Analysis of variance of each regression equation is given. Stand volume tables for timber and total wood for basal area and crop height have been prepared. Two site qualities have recognised and yield tables for these site qualities based on the relationships obtained above are presented.- Variation of Izod Values with Temperature in Timber

Study of variation of Izod values with temperature on standard specimens of seven species has been made and straight line equations by the method of least squares has been suggested for each of the species separately for purely practical purposes. Previous work in the field and the present data have been discussed. Slight increase of Izod values with increase of temperature at moisture content well above the fibre saturation point with a possible critical value between 70°C. and 90°C. has been observed.- A Note on Mechanical Properties of Taxus baccata

The paper describes two phases of deformation, excluding thrusting, in the Precambrian metamorphites of the Delhi System and the underlying Banded Gneissic Complex. The first deformation, DI, produced major folds, mainly overturned isoclinal and large antiforms and synforms, with NE trending northwesterly dipping axial surfaces and plunges at low angles. The second deformation, DII, produced folds that were superimposed upon DI major folds. These are commonly asymmetrical and are better developed in the Delhi rocks than in the underlying Banded Gneissic Complex. They have N to NNW trending, nearly vertical axial planes and plunges at high angles towards the north. These phases of deformation are also recorded on microscopic scale rocks from both the stratigraphic units.
The' basement' Complex was deformed more or less concordantly with the supracrustal rocks of the Delhi System during the Delhi Orogeny. The structural data also suggest that there was one more kinematic phase in the area. During this phase the overlying Delhi rocks slid over the Banded Gneissic Complex along a high-angle reverse fault that runs along the plane of unconformity between the two rock groups.

The Sausar Group rocks (Precambrian) from the highest grade region contain wollastonite in the impure dolomitic marbles (Bichua Stage), but not in the isogradic Lohangi (Sub-stage) calcitic marbles which are characterised by the calcite-quartz association with or without diopside, grossularite and scapolite. The low-variance assemblage of grossularite-plagioclase-wollastonite-calcit ± quartz in the Bichua marbles, together with the muscovite-free sillimanite-biotite ± cordicrite paragenesis in the adjacent schists and their association with migmatites, suggest metamorphic temperatures ncar 650° C at about 3 kb pressure, inferred from geological and petrological evidence. The spatial distribution of the wollastonite-bearing assemblages and their occurrence with amphibole and vesuvianite in the Bichua-Stage marbles, unlike the Lohangi calc-silicate bands. provide evidence for lowering of XCO2 by H2O , F and Cl in the fluid phase which controlled the development of wollastonite in the investigated area.- Effect of Dietary Protein and Non Protein Nitrogen on Rumen Proteolytic and Ureolytic Activities

Marking nut or 'SemecarpusAnacardium L.' also known as 'bibba' or 'bhilawa'. Marking nut has a double walled shell and cracking shells yields toxic resin (Bhilawan shell liquid) & enclosed dry kernel. Present study objective is to determine design parameters of marking nut & kernel for development of efficient marking nut deshelling machine. X-rays images of nuts by AGFA Image processing software of 100 marking nuts show tremendous variation in shape & size of nut & kernel. Sphericity, bulk density, thousand nut mass were found in range of 0.92 to 0.79, 572.22 to 528.48 kg/m3, 2015.40 to 3365 grams & corresponding values for Kernel 0.63 to 0.67, 540 to 478.62 Kg/m3, 232 to 410 grams. Average shell thickness was found to be 3.5mm. For marking nuts at 12% moisture (d.b) Hardness & deformation was found 87.64N & 3.20mm, at 9.63% moisture (d.b) 93.98N & 2.50mm, at 4.86% moisture 118N & 0.65mm, respectively. Rupture force for nuts by compression was found to be in range of 23.21 Kg to 37.34 Kg. Texture profile analysis of kernel was performed at 3.02% moisture (d.b) & Hardness was found to be 19.98N at cycle-1, 17.77N at cycle-2, this shows kernel is delicate then the nut & easily cracked at lower forces. Springiness & cohesiveness were determined and found to be 0.62 & 0.53, respectively.Keywords

Marking nut or ‘Semecarpus anacardium L.’is a versatile tree found abundantly in humid regions of world. Its unique physical trait sets it apart from other agricultural produce; no nut has same shape and size there is a tremendous variation in length, width and thickness of nuts. Nut is a double walled shell and between the cellular space of double walls there is a presence of toxic resin called BSL (Bhilawan shell liquid). Present desheller is simple in its operation and is developed focusing its future potential. It comprises of a double acting pneumatic cylinder (32 bore), solenoid valve, a nut placing die, operative tool and air compressor. Nuts are placed in a specific flat position at centre of cylindrical die, this die is drilled in center so that the stroke passes completely through its centre and is positioned just below the stroke of pneumatic cylinder. A tapered tool screwed with cylinder stroke of 50mm and when stroke occurs its cuts through the nuts center and kernel separation is done. It provide 100 per cent protection from splashing of BSL and no human strength for deshelling. Trails were conducted at three different pressures to evaluate performance of machine at 4.8,6.2 and 7.8 kg/cm2 and 300 nuts at 2.38 per cent M.C. (dry basis) were cracked at each pressure. Highest efficiency was observed at 6.2 kg/cm2 and removal of whole kernel was also good. At 6.2 kg/cm2 pressure 86.20 per cent efficiency and 0.68kg/hr capacity were observed. Machine cost with optimum design is approx. 7500INR.Keywords

Effective nowcasting for thunderstorms has been a challenge to operational forecasters in Jharkhand, India as lightning strikes-related deaths are significantly high. Extrapolation of radar echoes is the very foundation of nowcasting. Multiple radar mosaic data are able to pick out the size, shape, intensity, speed and direction of movement of individual storms on a continuous basis. This makes it possible to determine the likely location of a moving storm by extrapolation. This article demonstrates a new approach of locationspecific nowcast and SMS (short message service)- based dissemination system for thunderstorm and lightning warning up to 3 h ahead over Jharkhand. There are three components of the system. First, identification of the initial development and tracking of thunder cells by mosaic composite reflectivity data from multiple radars. The future location of thunder cells, and their growth or dissipation in terms of radius is estimated by extrapolation using their past trends. Secondly, based on this forecast information, an SMS is generated by the web-based GIS portal of Jharkhand Space Applications Centre for the forecast location and sent to the concerned state officials and mobile service providers over that region. Finally, the warning SMS is sent to all the active mobile users over that region at that time. The system combining nowcasting and dissemination of warning directly to the likely affected people is expected to be more robust considering its effectiveness in the reduction of human casualty.Keywords
