Biology of Asphadastis cryphomycha Meyrick was studied on Populus deltoides under screen house conditions. Duration of the egg stage ranged from 4.40 to 6.90 days during different months. Total larval period, prepupal and pupal period varied from 12.60 ± 0.15 to 19.10 ± 0.17, 2.20 ± 0.15 to 89.60 ± 0.65 (December to March), and 4.60 ± 0.15 to 8.20 ± 0.81 days. The adults emerged during 23.00 to 4.00 hours (24 hour time). Longevity of females was more than males. The average fecundity ranged from 22.60 ± 2.18 to 49.60 ± 7.36 eggs during different months. The pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods were recorded. The webber passed through eight generations per year. Leaf area fed by the larval instars has been worked out. Detailed measurements of the various stages were recorded.

The study on the scasonal history, host range and nature of damage was carried at the villages, Khera bet, Lalton and Tajpur in the Ludhiana district. Two peaks of the insect population were observed during April-June and September-November. The larval and pupal population per web varied from 0.00-6.85 and 0.00-0.55 respectively. The first and second instars of the leafwebber were found feeding on leaves along the midrib and vein whereas the third, fourth and fifth ins tars remained feeding inside the web, made by webbing 2-3 leaves together with silken threads. In the field twigs with webs varied from 10.00-67.50 per cent and webbed leaves/twigs varied from 20-60 percent.- Brachymeria Species (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) - a Larval Pupal Parasitoid of Asphadastis cryphomycha Meyrick, Poplar Leaf Webber in Punjab

Background: Osteoarthritis is a slowly progressive disorder associated with a hyaline cartilage loss. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs play a pertinent role in management of osteoarthritis.
Objectives: The study was carried out for the comparison of efficacy and tolerability of Aceclofenac and Diclofenac in patients of osteoarthritis of knee joint.
Material and Methods: It is a randomised parallel group double blinded study. The study included 60 patients of confirmed osteoarthritis of knee joint, 30 patients were given Aceclofenac and 30 patients were given Diclofenac after food for 8 weeks and the patients were evaluated and compared statistically for pain intensity by VAS Score, Joint tenderness, Swelling, Erythema, Pain on movement, Functional capacity and Overall Assessment on LIKERT Scale.
Results: Both the drugs caused marked improvements in the parameters of - Pain intensity, Joint tenderness, Swelling, Erythema, Pain on movement of OA knee joint but there was increased improvement in all the parameters with aceclofenac.
Conclusion: Aceclofenac is the NSAID of choice in the osteoarthritis of knee joint as compare to Diclofenac.

Background: The main surgical principle in the management of diaphyseal bone infection is thorough debridement of all nonviable tissue. None of the previously mentioned techniques afford surgeon the ability to correct deformities, eliminate antibiotic therapy, regenerate new bone without grafts and allow weight bearing during treatment.
Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical follow-up results with Ilizarov technique using three parameters: union, infection and function and to know the complications if any faced by the patients.
Material and Methods: This was a prospective study planned to evaluate the results of Ilizarov ring fixator on follow-up of 18 cases of either sex with infected non-union tibia. Average age of presentation was 34.5 years. Follow-up roentgenographs were used to assess alignment, bone contact and later callus formation. Healing status of the fracture was monitored using biplane roentgenographs, unchanged fracture alignment with loosening of the frame, absence of pain during ambulation with the frame destabilized. The data thus collected were analysed by using percentage and valid conclusions were drawn.
Result: Pain and swelling were the most common complication after application of ilizarov ring fixator. In this study of 18 cases, 11 (61.11%) patients had excellent, 2 (11.11%) good, 5 (27.77%) fair and none had poor results as per criterion laid down by Catteneo et al.
Conclusion: Ilizarov technique was found to be useful to progressively lengthen the extremity, achieve union without bone grafting and to correct deformities in infected non-union with or without bone gap.

Key biological characteristics of Trichogramma chillonis Ishii. which govern its performance in the field were studied by exposing pupae and the adults to different temperatures (30 ± 1°, 33 ± 1°C, 36 ± 1°C, 39 ± 1°C, 42 ± 1°C and 45 ± 1°C keeping 80 ± 5 percent relative humidity daily for six hours. Temperature shocks at ≥ 33 ± °C resulted in decrease in adult emergence. Fecundity decreased when the parasitoid was exposed at ≥ 30 ± 1°C from day 1 and day 2; at ≥ 33 ± 1°C from day 3 and at ≥ 42 ± 1°C on day 4 of pupae formation. Female longevity decreased when the parasitoid was exposed at 36 ± 1°C from day 1 or day 2 and at ≥ 42 ± 1°C from day 3 or day 4 of pupae formation. Temperature shocks of 45 ± 1°C initiated from day I of pupae formation proved deleterious to the parasitoid resulting in low adult emergence (24.88%), low fecundity (26.50 egg hosts parasitized/female), and decreased female longevity (8.45 days). When females reared at 27 ± 1°C were exposed to different high temperatures, significant (p = 0.05) decrease in fecundity and female longevity was observed as compared to coutrol. No effect of high temperature exposure on the sex-ratio in the progeny was observed. Results of the present study may help in developing augmentative release strategies of this parasitoid against lepidopterous pests in cotton by devising suitable release techniques.Keywords

Background and Aim: A consensus is yet to evolve over which of the two techniques, continuous epidural infusion or intermittent epidural bolus is better for post-op pain relief. The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of postoperative pain relief between continuous and bolus administrations of epidural bupivacaine and fentanyl solution. Material and Methods: The prospective, randomized study was conducted in 60 ASA I and ASA II patients of either sex, 20-50 years age scheduled for orthopedic lower limb surgery. Combined spinal epidural anaesthesia was administered to all the patients. Following an epidural loading dose of 10 ml of 0.0625% bupivacaine with fentanyl 1.5 μg ml-1 post-operatively, group I (n = 30) patients received intermittent bolus of 10 ml of 0.0625% bupivacaine with fentanyl 1.5 μg mlml-1 at an hourly interval for 24 hours and group II (n = 30) patients received same drug combination through continuous epidural infusion technique at a rate of 10 ml hr-1 for 24 hours. Following variables were assessed during the study period of 24 hours: Pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry (SpO2), pain score (VAS), pruritus score, sedation score, sensory block and motor block. All the parameters were analysed statistically by adopting appropriate statistical tests. Results: On comparison, pain scores were statistically not significant in both groups (p>0.05). When compared within the respective groups, variation in pain score, both at rest and on movement, from the baseline value (zero hours postoperatively) were statistically not significant at all the time intervals in both the groups (p>0.05). Fifteen patients in the group I and five patients in group II required rescue analgesia (p<0.05). Thirteen patients (46.6%) in group I and 19 patients (63.33%) in group II assessed pain relief as excellent at the end of 24 hours of epidural analgesia (p<0.05). No adverse effects were observed in any of the patients. Conclusion: Continuous epidural infusion of a combination of bupivacaine and fentanyl provides better postoperative analgesia requiring less rescue analgesia than intermittent epidural bolus technique.

Ilhealth is always considered an uninvited guest and so is the pain of spending for it. For something that is unexpected and unwelcome, a negative sentiment gets tagged with it at the very start itself. It someone falls sick, there is a feeling of victimization by the force unknown. These are the pack of emotions with which a patients walks into hospital surrounded by anxious, restless attendants and most of the anxiety and disturbed look is borne out of the forced eventuality of accompanying their own kin. Another pertinent cause is the loss of the working days which are not easy to afford in the present era of cut throat competition. And not to lag behind is the constant prayer buzzing in their mind wishing a quick discharge and slim as a Barbie doll hospital bill.Full Text

With the advent of Information Technology in the last decade, the major focus has shifted from manual systems to computerized systems. Various systems viz. railway reservation, hospital management etc. involving manual work have been automated efficiently. Student course registration process in colleges involve filling registration forms manually, getting it signed by respective subject teachers, and then getting the documents acknowledged fromthe concerned Advisors, College Deans and Accounts Officers respectively. Finally the registration forms are submitted in the Administrative Branch. As is evident, this process is very laborious and time consuming. An Online Student Course Registration System has been developed to simplify the current manual procedure.This system has been developed using PHP, jQuery, Apache and MySQL. The front-end is designed using PHP with excerpts of code written using jQuery and back-end is designed and managed through MySQL. This system software is more secured, user-friendly and less time-consuming.Keywords

Black gram (V. mungo) is one of the important pulse crops in India which plays an important role in supplementing the income of small and marginal farmers. Non adoption of improved varieties and recommended practices is one of the reasons for low productivity in this crop. Improved technological package was compared with that of farmers' practice in the Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh during kharif 2006 to 2009. The results revealed that the use of improved variety, line sowing and balanced application of fertilizers under the improved practice increased seed yield of mash by 34.1 to 81.6% over farmer practice. Improved technological package gave 33.7% higher gross return and 70.4% higher net return over the prevalent practice of the farmers. The average additional cost and additional net return of INR 3003 and INR 10715 were recorded from 2006 to 2009. Incremental benefit cost ratio (IBCR) ranged from 3.10 to 4.64 with an average value of 3.55. The water use efficiency has also been increased by using the improved agricultural technologies in the demonstrations.Keywords

The present study is an attempt to study the caregiver burden and level of hope among the primary caregivers of the patients diagnosed with epilepsy for more than one year. Study was exploratory in nature. A sample of 30 primary caregivers of patients with epilepsy was selected. Both males and females between age ranges of 25 to 55 years were selected from neurology OPD of IHBAS, Delhi by using purposive sampling technique. Zarit Burden Interview and Adult Hope Scale were administered on the participants to study their caregiver burden and levels of hope. All participants were psycho-educated about their family members' illness. Results showed that caregivers had poor perceived social support and mostly they were experiencing moderate to severe levels of care giving burden and average levels of hope. Results are discussed in the light of the need of such studies which can professionally help caregivers to deal with their physical, mental and social problems and thereby also help patients with epilepsy in many ways.Keywords

Objectives: Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) due to their dynamic topology are more liable to have security problems. These Adhoc Networks are easily susceptible to various types of attacker nodes. Out of the numerous attacks black hole, flooding and selective packet drop attacks are more hazardous attacks which reduce the performance of network under various parameters. Due to this problem, there is a need to develop a new approach for mitigating these attacker nodes simultaneously to improve the performance of MANETs Methods: An Intelligent Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IIDPS) is proposed for preventing the ad hoc network from these three types of attacks under the AODV protocol. The proposed mechanism works on the basis of trust management. This research work consists of a central network administrator for detecting malicious nodes in the MANETs. IIDPS includes a trust manager which categorizes the trust of the network into different categories. Different types of malicious nodes are identified by the behavior classifier based on a predefined threshold and risk factor conditions. Findings: The proposed IIDPS is responsible for preventing MANETs from the black hole, flooding, and selective packet drop attacker nodes. At the same time, the proposed prevention system improves the performance of the network in the terms of numerous parameters like throughput, overhead, delay, packet delivery ratio etc. Novelty/ Improvement: There is no technique exist for MANETs under AODV protocol for detecting black hole, flooding and selective packet drop malicious nodes. The proposed IIDPS solves this issue to handle of these multiple attacks at the same time.Keywords

Onion occupies an important place in daily diet and is semi-perishable in nature. The production of off-season onion in Kharif season in North Indian plains can stabilize the market supply of fresh onion as well as its price in winter and spring seasons. Keeping this in view, the present investigation was carried out at the experimental farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh during 2013 and 2014. Two varieties namely, N-53 and Agrifound Dark Red (AFDR) were evaluated using sets and seedlings following randomized block design in four replications along with Farmer practice (FP). The marketable bulb yield of both the varieties raised through sets was significantly higher than those raised from seedlings during both the years. The higher bulb yield was the result of low mortality of seedlings and improved crop stand which resulted in higher economic returns. In another experiment on weed management practices, pre- emergence application of alachlor and pendimethalin @ 1.00 kg a.i. /ha, respectively along with hand weeding at 40 days after planting resulted in significantly higher bulb yield compared to their sole application. Hence, Kharif onion crop raised through sets of AFDR variety followed by N-53 is better than seedling raised crop under low hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh.Keywords

American fiction written during and after 1950's resort to formal disruptions and structural experimentation so as to aesthetically capture the life lived under the "ethos of mass society." Humans, in this socio-economic setup, consume and live the values and circumstances as mass produced as any other consumable and marketable commodity. The commodification of human life and living has rendered humans as meaningless specks floating aimlessly on the vistas of an absurd existence, nullifying the very concept of any moral or spiritual Absolutes. God ceased to exist and "human condition" came to be seen to be ironically governed by the principles of mechanization rendering people as machines. It is within this framework that this paper attempts to analyse the thematic essence of Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. The author presents contemporary human beings as mere robots in the hands of inscrutable market and global forces, the forces which he ironically calls God. Northrop Frye, a scientific critic of twentieth century believes that 'human' and 'divine' have come to be replaced by 'demonic', and rendered human condition unbearable. Sartre calls it "human condition" that is the creation of Man himself. Vonnegut, under these circumstances, does not fail to see the "spiritual" aspect of human existence.Keywords

Immune challenges are inevitable for livestock that are exposed to a varied range of adverse conditions ranging from environmental to pathogenic stresses. The β-defensins are antimicrobial peptides, belonging to “defensin” family and therefore acts as the first line of defense against the major infections occurring in dairy cattle including intramammary infections. The better resistance to mastitis displayed by Bos indicus is implicit in the fact that they have better adapted and also has more sequence variation with rare allele conserved due to lesser artificial selection pressure than that of Bos taurus. Among the 58 in silico predicted β-defensins, only a few have been studied in the aspect of intramammary infections. The data on polymorphisms occurring in various β-defensin genes is limited in B. indicus, indicating toward higher possibilities for exploring marker for mastitis resistance. The following review shall focus on concisely summarizing the up-to-date research on β-defensins in B. taurus and discuss the possible scope for research in B. indicus.Keywords

- Improvising Livestock Service in Hilly Regions Through Indigenous Wisdom Towards Control of Tick Infestation:Institutional Relationships
Abstract Views :151 |
PDF Views:0
Materials and Methods: An indigenous herbal medication in control of tick infestation was documented, and experimentation was held against naturally affected cattle. Eighteen clinically infested cattle population comprising 16 crossbred and 2 non-descript cattle were purposively selected. Majority of them were adult females, reported with a higher incidence of tick at Veterinary institution. The average pre-treatment tick count at 24 sites of observations among these animals was 18.91±2.04 (Mean [x̅]±standard error [SE]). The medication was topically applied once daily for 2 days and post-treatment observations were recorded for an experimental period of 14 days’ duration.
Results: During 24-h post-treatment observation, the medication had shown 92.95% acaricidal property with clinically irrelevant rate of tick infestation of 1.33±0.39 (x̅±SE) was noticed before application of subsequent (second) dosage. This practice was found significantly effective at 5% level of significance (t0.05,23=9.08) illustrating faster relief to livestock. Animals were treated with herbal medication as per dosage on the second day and no reinfestation was noticed up to 14 days of experimental observation.
Conclusion: The study strengthens the belief that indigenous herbal acaricide can facilitate quality livestock service at geographically distant locations. These medications can provide quicker relief, minimize tick resistance and are favorable to the environment.

The landslide events, that occurred in August 2018 in the Idukki district Kerala, India were surveyed during 12–14 September 2018. Many landslides were studied through field observations to decipher their mechanism and mitigation measures have been recommended. Possible causative factors responsible for these slope failures have been discussed. This event was the most devastating disaster that affected millions of people and the second such event after the Kedarnath tragedy (2013) during this decade. The primary causes responsible for initiation of these landslides were unexpected intense rainfall, unplanned development and urbanization. This study on field observationbased interpretations will help academicians, researchers and field engineers to plan future initiatives for reconstruction planning and implementation in line with future disaster risk reduction.Keywords

Realizing the importance of cluster frontline demonstrations in transfer of latest technologies, Krishi Vigyan Kendra are regularly conducting CFLDs on pulse crops at farmer's field with the objective of convincing farmers and extension functionaries together about the production potentialities of production technologies for further wide scale diffusion. To boost the production and productivity of chickpea pulse crop and to find out the yield gap, a total of 312 numbers of cluster frontline demonstrations on chickpea were conducted in 156 numbers of adopted villages of the four blocks of the Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh under rainfed conditions for consecutive 4 years (2015-16 to 2018-19). For comparison with recommended practices prevailing farmers' practices were treated as control. The findings of the study revealed that irrespective of the chickpea varieties used in demonstrations, percent increase in demonstrations yield over farmers practice ranged from 24.6 to 95.1 per cent. It was further observed that in terms of economics chickpea crop recorded higher net returns per hectare in demonstration plots compared to farmer's practice during all the years of studies. The extension gap and technological gap ranged between1.5-5.9 q/ha and 0.9-12.4 q/ha, respectively. The benefit cost ratio which indicates that whether CFLD technology is profitable or not varied from 2.22, to 3.8 during the study period and was always higher in demonstrations plots over farmers practice. The per cent technology index varied from 6.92 to 51.67 per cent indicating urgent need to make aware and motivate the farmers to adopt improved and economically viable technologies for chickpea production.Keywords
