The tribals of Chotanagpur region are still dependent on the primitive methods of agriculture and their livelihood is supported by different forest produces. In the present survey the forest produces and different parts of plant species exploited from nearby forests and utilised by these tribals for food, medicine and to fulfil their other daily requirements including as a source of income, are identified.

The effect of biotic disturbances in population structure of six important tree species of dry peninsular sal forest has been studied during present study. The total reduction in tree density was recorded as 33% in disturbed (Unprotected) forest site and 9% in protected forest site. The reduction in density of dominant trees species was 10% and 27%, respectively for Shorea robusta and Terminalia tomentosa in disturbed forest site, while it was 4% and 10%, respectively in protected forest site. It was inferred that the disturbance in forest effects the phytosociologicals status of the site.- Effect of Processing on Phytic Phosphorus Content in Maize

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of processing on phytic phosphorus content in maize. An analytical comparison of effect of different methods of processing for reducing phytic phosphorus was carried out on maize. The maize is a staple crop and many rely on it as a primary source of nutrition. Though phytic phosphorus content makes minerals unavailable for absorption yet is used by majority of population. Six cultivars of maize namely VL-16, VL-41, VL-42, D741, D823 and D771 were processed to observe the reduction in phytic phosphorus content. Phytic phosphorus content of the different maize varieties ranged from 143.5 to 167.9 mg/100 g. Variety VL 41 showed highest phytic phosphorus content of 167.9 mg/100 g. Lime treatment was observed to cause significant reduction in phytic acid. Boiling and lime treatment reduced phytic phosphorus by 24.84 and 33.60 % respectively. Variety D771 of maize showed highest reduction of 108.9 mg/100 g after heat treatment and 89.8 mg/100 g after lime treatment. The total reduction in phytic phosphorus was 33.60%.Keywords

The effect of foliar spray of salicylic acid (SA) and boron along with traditional growth regulators like GA3, NAA and ethephon on growth, flowering and yield of guava variety Arka Amulya was investigated. Salicylic acid 100ppm recorded maximum increase in shoot length, number of leaves and leaf area over control. The minimum day for initiation of flowering (24.33) was taken by ethephon 100 ppm spray followed by SA 200 ppm (25.33). Concerning the effect of chemicals on number of fruits per shoot and fruit set per cent, maximum numbers of fruit (3.18) per shoot and fruit set per cent (74.16) were registered in S A 100 ppm which was statistically comparable to NAA 20 ppm. However, minimum fruit set percentage (35.57) was recorded in control. GA3 50ppm and ethephon 100 ppm increased fruit length and fruit breadth, respectively over other treatments. Maximum yield (12 .30 kg) per plant was registered under treatment SA (100ppm) which found statistically comparable to NAA 20 ppm. The highest TSS and vitamin C content were registered under 20 ppm and boron 200 ppm, respectively. While, the highest B: C ratio (11.18) was recorded from the plant treated with SA 100 ppm.Keywords

We report the first record of an age-diagnostic, but depauperate assemblage of calcareous nannofossils, an exclusively marine phytoplankton group, from the Lathi Formation of Jaisalmer Basin, western India. The nannofossil evidence, precisely constrains the age of the Lathi Formation, traditionally considered to be a Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) continental deposit. Furthermore, the presence of several reworked nannofossil taxa of Pliensbachian, Toarcian and Aalenian ages suggests that the earliest epeiric sea transgressed western India during the Early Jurassic. Thick and luxuriant gymnosperm forests proliferated in the Jaisalmer Basin during this time. The presence of calcareous nannofossils in both the lower and upper members of the Lathi Formation (Odania and Thaiat members) points to intermittent coastal marine depositional environment.Keywords

A major drawback of orthogonal frequency division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. In this paper, we propose a novel method to reduce the PAPR in an OFDM signal. This novel proposed method from now onwards will be known as Peak-Inversion Technique (PIT), which is based on the inversion of the peaks in the transmitted OFDM signal beyond a certain threshold value. Inversion of peaks of OFDM signal is done by folding the higher amplitudes of OFDM signal those are above the optimized threshold levels towards the lower amplitude of OFDM signal. The optimized threshold levels are chosen in a manner such that they lie at same value, above and below the reference axis of the signal, and when the peaks are folded they do not become the peaks in the opposite direction. Peak-Inversion Technique presented in this paper reduces the PAPR by more than 3.2 dB for the quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation. Also the symbol error probability curve presented for the PAPR reduced OFDM signal is very close to the theoretical symbol error probability curve of the OFDM signal. In this paper all the results are obtained from commercial available Matlab simulation software.Keywords

The findings of a field trial conducted in 2012-13 and 2013-14 to assess different cultivars of strawberry in Supaul district of Bihar revealed that short day cultivars were more tolerant to insect pests than day neutral cultivars, particularly in later stage of fruit development leading to record higher yield. It was also revealed that a suitable micro-climate was required for optimum plant growth, higher crop yield and the best quality fruits. Festival was found to be the best performing variety in respect of weight per fruit, yield and marketable fruit quality having maximum growth, plant height (21.34cm), flowering duration (60.09 days), fruiting duration (55.62 days) and yield (15.26 tons/ha).

It is always a word in mostly is misunderstood in our society that what is their aim to misadvertise the work and role of RSS. It is said by those who have their motives in the politics. But in this article is going to introduce you what is RSS really doing to development for the society. I want to ask those people who always cities the RSS activity and compare with "Taliban, Bhagwa Atankwad," etc. I want to say that in every sphere of life and social development of each and every activity in India Rastriya swam sevak Singh is playing a very important role to developing the nation. I am unable to define all the activity but I am trying to highlighting some of the "sewa prakalp" (social development projects) which running in India. Patriotic activity and social, educational, intellectually making India for 90 years.Keywords

The worldwide known relationship between transport and air pollution is demanding innovative solutions for satisfying the mobility needs with minimum pollution. While reducing the mobility demand is a longterm target, the most commonly adopted approach is to decongest the ‘hot spots’ having an alarming level of pollution. The main objective of providing bypasses and expressways is to divert the through traffic coming into the city. Delhi is one of the most congested and polluted cities in India. Among the various sources, vehicular pollution is a significant source of air pollution. Different policies and strategies have been developed to decongest and depollute Delhi. The Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) is one such option implemented to decongest the national capital of India by diverting the traffic not destined for Delhi. It becomes essential to evaluate the performance of such significant infrastructural investments for better decision making in the future. Accordingly, the present study quantifies the impact of constructed EPE in terms of diverted traffic and the reduction of vehicular pollution from the capital of India. For this, various primary surveys like classified traffic volume, origin–destination and fuel station surveys were conducted in the study area. Vehicle kilometre travelled for all vehicle types was calculated using the primary data, and this parameter is considered for quantifying vehicular emissions. The results showed that reduction of vehicular emission due to diverted traffic was 0.7% of PM (PM2.5), 7.1% of NOx and 2.5% CO in the total vehicular emission load of Delhi.Keywords
