Phenology of 39 species of shrubs and trees was studied in the Sariska Tiger Reserve Forest in North-East Rajasthan. The leaf fall, leaf flushing, flowering and fruit development was studied from December 2001 to November 2002. There were 24 deciduous woody species which represented more than 90 per cent of the vegetation in the study site. Leaf fall began from September onwards with the retreat of monsoon, attaining a peak value in February when about 35 per cent species were leafless. Leaf initiation began in hot and dry summer season from April untill the end of June when all the species had produced new leaves. Flowering and fruit development occurred throughout the year with one peak in hot and dry summer (March to April) and the another in rainy season (July to August). Thirty three per cent species flowered in the summer season followed by 26 per cent in the rainy season. Only three woody species produced flowers in the cold and dry winter season (December to January).Keywords

The objective of this study was to utilise various tree leaves for biogas production and to compare the potentiality among the various leaves for producing biogas. It was found that digester slurry with leaves and cowdung at 8% total solid concentration would be the optimum concentration for better and efficient biogas production. At 8% slurry level, Leucaena leucocephala leaves with cowdung at 1:1 ratio produced maximum amount ofbiogss with lower percentaee of methane. Up to 35 days of digestion Acacia auriculifarmis leaves produced 41% more gas in total than cow dune and Leucaena leucocephala produced 18% more. In respect ofVFA concentration and degree of volatile matter degradation Dalbergia sissoo is also capable of yeilding biogas. But very high concenteration of VFA and low pH retarted the activities of methanogens. Eucalyptus leaves hasproved to he hardly degradable for biogas production. The high content of volatile solid and hollocellulose and highest C:N ratio justify its hard nature.

Statistical analysis of data pertaining to three fuel-cum-fodder trees viz; Acacia tortilis, Hardwickia binata and Leucaena leucocephala planted under agro-silvipasture and farm forestry experiments have been discussed, in the light of normality of data. 54, 39 and 50 samples of size 20 each belonging to these tree species have been chosen for deciding the criterion of transformation function. Sample size with desired variation in mean above-ground biomass in tree have also been discussed. It has been found that logarithmic transformation is most suitable for Acacia tortilis and Hardwickia binata while square ischolar_main function for Leucaena leucocephala. Sample size with desired 10% apartness from mean were found as 95-100% in case of L. leucocephala, 68% in A. tonilis and 15% in H. binata of available plants.- Production of Aerial Biomass in Leucaena leucocephala (lam.)

Aerial biomass and coppice shoot growth observations of Leucaeua leucocephala, harvested at 3 and 4 years of age under farm forestry conditions have been presented in this paper. The mean annual increments after 3 and 4 years study show rising trend with maximum increment between the 3rd and 4th year. Under this system it can be possible to harvest fuel wood and forage upto 11.0 tons and 1.0 t/raw km respectively of dry matter on the 4th year. The coppice shoot growth in 1.5 years was found to be equal to the original 3 years growth of the trees thus indicating high coppice growth polentiality and forage yield in this plant.- Gabion Structures for Soil Conservation

The paper describes the use of gabion structures for erosion control based on the experience gained at the Soil Conservation Research Demonstration and Training Centre, Dehra Dun. These structures have been used in land-slip and slide control, torrent correction and gully control works. They are simple in construction, flexible, self draining and are made of construction materials locally available. These structures are cheaper than conventional structures and yet quite eftective. The technique of gabion construction has been explained with illustrations. The specificationa for various structures have been given for guidance.- Rainfall Erosion Index of Dehra Dun

EI (Erosion Index) values are used for several purposes like estimating soill loss, accurate classification of rainstorm according to their soil eroding potential, accurate evaluation of erosivity of different soils, estimating cover and management effect. These values will be much useful when compiled for the entire country, Usually more than 20 years recording raingauge data is required but in the absence of such long period data; attempt is made to compute EI values for low frequency of 2 years and 5 years and as more years of data collected the estimated values may be extended. The EI values calculated for Dehra Dun are 244, 536 and 808 for 2, 5 and 10 years frequency.- Frequency Analysis of Rainfall Data

Rainfall is the most important component of the hydrological cycle. Rainfall data is needed by all agencies dealing with the use and management of natural resources. The total rainfall and distribution, intensity, duration and frequency are often needed for design of engineering structures, analysis of erosion and flood problems. The annual and seasonal data are usually represented by bar diagrams. These do not give much useful information. Probability and frequency analysis of rainfall data will be more useful. The paper describes the method of frequency analysis of annual, seasonal, monthly and daily rainfall data and also for duration less than 24 hour. Similar analysis for other localities as recommended for preparing an isopluvial map of India for various duration and recurrence intervals.- Raingauge Density for Small Watershed

Determination of areal rainfall amount is essential to most hydrologic investigations. To measure 'true' rainfall, various raingauge installed at a density of 1.94 to 39.80 hectares per raingauge, at Soil Conservation Farm, Dehra Dun have shown that the variation in each storm recorded in 5 years (comprising 137 storms of more than 10.0 mm) was within '5 percent level of significance' and therefore one raingauge up to watershed area of 370 hectares is sufficient. In case the subwatersheds within this size large watershed, are gauged, one raingauge for each subwatershed may be installed as for taking more details. Further studies to determine rain gauge density for larger areas than 370 hectares are required to be conducted under local condition.- Correlation of Soil Loss with Various Energy Intensity Products

Lot of areas are lying waste and are threatened with stream bank erosion in the Sub-Himalayan region. A study was, therefore, undertaken at the Soil Conservation Research Station, Dehra Dun in the Bainkhala torrent to See the performance of vegetative measures and engineering structures, singly or in combination with each other, for channelisation of the torrent with the object to reclaim excels areas under the bed for proper land utilisation and also to check bank cutting. The principle of torrent training and details of the various structures tried are given in this paper. Moreover, their functioning and performance have also been reported; and based upon the experience gained from these trials for about 10 years from 1958 to 1967, the authors have recommended a rational scheme for torrent control works in this region.- Comparison of Performance of Inexpensive Raingages of Different Diameters

Results of study conducted to find suitable raingages have shown that the cylinder having diameter of 7.5 to 12.5 cm record comparable data with standard raingage when installed at any height varying from 30 to 90 cm. The use of diameter less than 7.5 cm is not desirable as they record considerable high rainfall.For use of extension departmepts and also where research requires large scale use of raingages, the inexpensive raingages can be constructed by using ordinary G.I. sheet Cylinder or G.I. pipe of diameter between 7.5 to 12.5 cm The depth of rainfall can be directly measured by observing the water accumulated depth in the cylinder.

Indian Forester, Vol 99, No 11 (1973), Pagination: 645-650Abstract
A study of the major and minor nutrient status of the soils of spike-affected and spike-free sandal growing regions has shown that deficiency of either the major nutrients, N,P,K and Ca, or the minor nutrients, Cu, Zn, Mn, Mo and Co in the soils of the spike-affected sandal regions is not serving as a pre-disposing factor for the onset of sandal spike disease. Khan and Yadav (1962) reported that calcareous soils with a low amount of available nutrients were related to the incidence of spike disease in sandal. The soils of the Mysore State are generally not calcareous in nature, but spike disease exists in many of the districts of the State. It has, therefore, given rise to a doubt as to whether the composition of the soil bas really anything to do with the incidence or otherwise of the spike disease in sandal. As long ago as 1955, Muthanna reported that application of minor elements did not show any remedial effect on the sandal affected by spike disease, thus showing that the latter is not traceelement deficiency disease. That the disease is not a deficiency disease is further proved by the fact that it is transmissible (Coleman, 1917; Sreenivasaya and Gopalaswami Naidu, 1928), while deficiency diseases are not. The question, however, remains as to whether the soil status is serving as a pre-disposing factor for the onset of the disease, though not the cause for it. Hence experiments have now been conducted with a view to settling this question, examining the soil samples from some of the districts of the healthy sandal areas (Bellary, Dharwar and Shimoga), and some of the districts of the spiked sandal areas (Kolar, Tumkur and Bangalore) in the Mysore State. From each of the districts, a suitable forest region was chosen, and soil samples were taken from two spots, collecting them from three different layers (0-25 cm, 25-55 cm, 55-85 cm) after clearing the surface soil. The analysis of the soil samples for pH, major nutrients (N,P,K and Cal and minor nutrients (Cu, Zn, Mn, Mo and Co) was done following the methods described by Jackson (1967) and Holmes (1945). Since the pH of the soils of the Mysore State ranges from 5.6 to 6.8 at which range the nutrients (major and minor) are well available, only the total status of these nutrients has been determined. The pH was determined at the moisture saturation percentage of the soils according to the procedure described by Jackson (1967).- Region Growing for MRI Brain Tumor Volume Analysis

The tumor volume is a significant prognostic factor in the treatment of malignant tumors. Manual segmentation of brain tumors from MR images is a challenging and time consuming task. A semi-automated region growing segmentation method is proposed to segment brain tumor from MR images. The proposed method can successfully segment a tumor provided that the parameters are set properly. This method is applied to 8-tumor contained MRI slices from 2 brain tumor patients' and satisfactory segmentation results are achieved.Keywords

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among woman. Currently X-ray mammography is the most widely used method for early detection of breast cancer. Many computer aided techniques are available to assist the radiologist in taking crucial decisions. A method uses level set for segmentation of masses in digital mammograms is introduced. This method uses the Gaussian filter for smoothing the image and noise reduction. Level set methods offer a powerful approach for the medical image segmentation since it can handle any of the cavities, concavities, convolution, splitting or merging. However, this method requires specifying initial curves and can only provide good results if these curves are placed near symmetrically with respect to the object boundary. The results of experimental study indicate that our scheme can provide useful contour extraction for mass structure.Keywords

Every year around 7 million pilgrims visit the Shrine which is influencing the socio-economic environment of the region and the present paper is throwing light on the economic impact of the Shrine related tourism. This paper is based on the methodology adopted for estimation of economic impact of the Shrine related tourism on the economy of katra town by estimating the income and employment generation. In the present paper, the methodology adopted for estimation of income and employment is based on extrapolation of the sample research findings. The figures for universe population with respect to the sample have been taken from the Municipality of Katra, Shrine Board and other Government as well as private agencies like various business associations. The income generated is taken from all the five basic component of industries or sets of people, primarily at Katra, which are directly and more or less totally dependent on the tourism viz. the Hotel Industry, Transport Industry, various commercial establishments including all types of shops operating at Katra, Pithoos and Ponywallas.Keywords

The paradigm shift from conventional mass tourism towards the nature based tourism has provoked world countries to concentrate more on developing sustainable tourism practices especially in nature bound areas. India as part of accomplishing sustainable tourism has developed many strategies and framework which is highly recognized and executed by all states. Uttarakhand being a mountainous state and recognized for its rich untapped natural resources provides right space for developing community based tourism (CBT) as a tool for attaining sustainability in practicing tourism. The present paper attempts to find out the impact of tourism on socio-economic development of community members and review the opportunities and challenges for developing CBT in village Sari in the vicinity of Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary. It is found that there is a positive local community development by having tourism as an important tool. The information was collected through structured questionnaire and direct interaction with the local community members.Keywords

Hydraulics of flow in cavity wells can be aproximated to unsteady state flow in spherical coordinates. The equation proposed by Chauhan et al (1975) can be used for non-leaky aquifer conditions placing the piezometer at a distance exceeding 20 times the radius of the cavity. Solutions to the equation can be found graphically by match point technique or using inverse 'lerfc' function. Solutions are yet to be developed for finite radius wells in leaky aquifer conditions or when source boundaries are present.- On the Consistency of Radiocarbon and TL Dates of the Upper Palaeosols from Loess Sections in Kashmir

Radiocarbon dates of around 18 Kyr for palaeosols in Kashmir, indicative of warm-humid climate, have been an enigma as this period is regarded as the last glacial maximum (LGM) globally. In case of aeolian deposits such as loess in Kashmir, which can be assumed to have been exposed to solar radiation before deposition, thermoluminescence (TL) method is also being used for estimating the period since burial. Until a few years ago, when only limited number of measurements were available, it was believed that the dates of Kashmir palaeosols by the radiocarbon and TL methods were apparently not in agreement with each other.
In this note, we use all the available organic fraction radiocarbon and TL dates for the top two palaeosol horizons (S9 and S10) from Kashmir loess-palaeosol sections and show that the dates obtained by the two methods are concordant within the limits of uncertainties of the two methods.

The crystallinity of the clay mineral illite, which is a climatically sensitive parameter, was studied for palaeoclimatic inferences from a core raised from Nal Sarovar in western India. The changes in crystallinity of illite in the top 3m of the core showed that the climate was wetter than present from ∼6.3-4.6 ka BP and was followed by a relatively dry phase which has continued up to the present. These palaeoclimatic observations are largely similar to those obtained from δ13C and C/N ratio variations in the top 3m of the core. From the deeper (>3m) section, a wet spell around 50 ka BP was identified in an otherwise continuous spell of aridity between 7 and 73 ka BP. The presence of a red bed dated to -50 ka BP (depth 1285-1324 cm) also suggested that the climate was wet followed by dry conditions during this period.
This interpretation of palaeoclimatic changes deciphered from the Nal Sarovar core differs in some detail from the Rajasthan palaeoclimatic record and that available from south India.

Seismic microzonation studies in Delhi have been carried out solely on the strength of the geotechnical data available with the Geological Survey of India. The main derivative products of the exercise include the shear wave velocity and predominant frequency maps on 1,50,000 scale. These maps are based on the N value data of subsurface soil columns, mostly down to a depth of 30 m, as observed at 121 Bore-Hole sites, in addition to the depth to bedrock, and other geological and geomorphological information.The different ground response parameters, e g shear wave velocity and predominant frequency have been estimated by using empirical relationships developed elsewhere, especially m California, USA Although the tenacity of the qualitative/ semi quantitative results is yet to be affirmed, the maps, by and large conform to the effects of the past near and far events, such as the 1905 Kangra, 1960 Delhi and 1999 Chamoli earthquakes.
The amplification of the ground motion being the inverse function of impedance contrast between the underlying hard rock and the overlying soft sediments in Delhi, where the underlying rock is represented by quartzite, practically, the relative values of shear wave velocity of the soft sediments indicate the likely amplification - the low velocity promoting higher amplification A maximum ground motion amplification of 12 5 times and a minimum of 5 times, when assuming the damping as zero, has been estimated However, the actual amplifications are bound to be less because the soil does dampen the ground motions The predominant frequency map prepared on the assumption of simplified subsurface configuration, provides a generalized picture of the range of frequencies expected to get amplified -the amplification governed by the shear wave velocity of the soil cover there.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of stocking density on growth performance of vencobb commercial broiler reared upto 46 days under deep litter system. The birds were fed adlib with commercial broiler feed. Deep litter rearing arrangements were prepared 2 days prior to the arrival of chicks. Vaccination, housing, feeding and watering was done as per standard. A total of 120, day old chicks were divided in three equal groups (I, II and III) with 40 birds in each group. The birds were reared under stocking densities of 16 birds/m2 (group I), 12 birds/m2 (group II) and 8 birds/m2 (group III). Feed consumption was significantly (p<0.01) higher under stocking densities of 12 birds/m2 and 8 birds/m2 as compared to stocking density of 16 birds/m2. Average live weight and carcass weight were significantly (p<0.01) higher under stocking density of 12 birds/m2. There was no significant difference in the feed conversion ratio (FCR) among all three groups. Dressing percentage was better with low stocking density of 12 birds/m2 (71.05±2.98) and 8 birds/m2 (72.29±1.04) as compared to high stocking density (16 birds/m2). In group I, feed consumption was positively correlated with live weight (r=0.87), FCR (r=0.67) and dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.91). Live weight was positively correlated with FCR (r=0.79), dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.86). FCR was positively correlated with dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.84). Dressing percentage was positively correlated with carcass weight (r=0.92). In group II, feed consumption was positively correlated (p<0.01) with live weight (r=0.97), FCR (r=0.98) and dressing percentage (r=0.96) and carcass weight (r=0.91). Live weight was positively correlated with FCR (r=0.97), dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.93). FCR was positively correlated with dressing percentage (r=0.90) and carcass weight (r=0.92). Dressing percentage was positively correlated with carcass weight (r=0.98). In group III, feed consumption was positively correlated (p<0.01) with live weight (r=0.82), FCR (r=0.79) and dressing percentage (r=0.92) and carcass weight (r=0.91). Live weight was positively correlated with FCR (r=0.81), dressing percentage (r=0.79) and carcass weight (r=0.81). FCR was positively correlated with dressing percentage (r=0.83) and carcass weight (r=0.81). Dressing percentage was positively correlated with carcass weight (r=0.89).Keywords

Moringa oleifera Lam., a medium sized tree species has gained importance due to its multipurpose usage and well adaptability to dry and hot climates of north-western plains, central India and dry regions of peninsular India. Moringa oleifera Lam. (family: Moringaceae) is a highly valued plant, distributed in many countries of the tropics and subtropics. It has an impressive range of medicinal uses with high nutritional value. Different parts of this plant contain a profile of important minerals, and are a good source of protein, vitamins, β-carotene, amino acids and various phenolics. The moringa plant provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, β- sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol. In addition to its compelling water purifying powers and high nutritional value, M. oleifera is very important for its medicinal value and it is also used in Dairy and meat production in dry regions is very complex due to low quality and shortage of fodder, especially in dry periods. In case of fodder shortage. i.e. unavailability of fodder in December through May as currently green fodder is least available after wheat, alfalfa, brassica and maize harvesting. This leads towards reduced livestock production and low-quality milk and meat products. and enlarging the gap between the availability of resources and the meeting of human and animals necessities. People are fulfilling their requirements for food and shelter by depleting natural resources. Moringa oleifera is one of those plants that has been neglected for several years but now is being investigated for its fast growth, higher nutritional attributes, and utilization as a livestock fodder crop. It can be grown as a crop on marginal lands with high temperatures and low water availability, where it is difficult to cultivate other agricultural crops.Keywords

Saproon valley of Himachal Pradesh is famous for seed production of late Snowball Cauliflower where recurrence of stalk rot incited by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary has caused huge losses, (84-100%) (Sharma, 1979). Since the disease is soil borne and the pathogen perpetuates through sclerotia, its management by the use of chemicals is uneconomical. Investigations were, therefore, undertaken to isolate the rhizosphere fungi of cauliflower and to study their inhibitory effect on the pathogen.Keywords

Soil micro-organisms are important component of integrated nutrient management and soil biodiversity system. They play a pivotal role in the functioning of plants by influencing their physiology and development. It is very important role in biogeo-chemical cycles and has been used for crop production for decades. Plant-bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants of plant health and soil fertility. Soil bacteria which are beneficial to plant growth, referred to plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which are capable of promoting plant growth by colonizing the plant ischolar_main. Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria include the Cyanobacteria of the genera Rhizobium, Brady rhizobium, Azorhizobium, Allorhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Mesorhizobium. Plant growth promotion and development can be facilitated both directly and indirectly. Indirect plant growth promotionincludes the prevention of the deleterious effects of phytopathogenic organisms. This can be achieved by the production of siderophores, i.e. small metal-binding molecules. Biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens and the synthesis of antibiotics have also been reported in several bacterial species. Another mechanism by which PGPR can inhibit phytopathogens is the production of hydrogencyanide (HCN) and/or fungal cell wall degrading enzymes, e.g., chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase. Direct plant growth promotion includes symbiotic and non-symbiotic PGPR which function through production of plant hormones suchas auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene and abscisic acid. Production of indole-3-ethanol or indole-3-acetic acid(IAA), PGPR also help in solubilisation of mineral phosphates and other nutrients, enhance resistance to stress, stabilize soil aggregates, and improve soil structure and organic matter content. PGPR retain more soil organic N, and other nutrients in the plant-soil system, thus, reducing the need for fertilizer.Keywords

Taking into consideration the unique, vast and varied tourist resource potential of India, there is tremendous scope for development of International Tourism. Aware of its rich treasure, India, in fact has consistently been trying to allure more and more world trotters, ever since its independence. Incidentally its performance has so far remained too marginal, especially in view of the existing potential, though there has been steady increase in the tourist influx over the years. Talking statistically, the Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) in India continued to grow from 1.28 million in 1981 to 1.68 million in 1991, 2.54 million in 2001, 6.31 million in 2011 and reached to 7.68 million in 2014. During the year 2014, India registered a positive growth of 10.2 %. The share of India in international tourist arrivals in 2014 was increased to 0.68%, from 0.61% in 2010, and the share of international tourism receipt was 1.58% in 2014 with Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEE) of US $ 20.24 billion. However, India's rank in the world was 41 in 2014. India accounted for 2.92% of the tourist arrivals in Asia Pacific Region in 2014, occupying 12th ranks in the region, but none the less the fact remains that the country is desperately trying to make out its rightful place in global tourism. The present study examines India's performance in International tourism market over the years and a look into foreign tourists' perspective on various aspects of Tourism in India.Keywords

The supply of an adequate and good quality protein is a basic requirement for the growth and maintenance of the body. The quality of protein in turn is governed by the pattern and quantity of essential amino acids present in it. A large segment of Indian population draws its protein requirements from vegetable proteins particularly cereals and pulses. However, these proteins are reported to be deficient in one or the other essential amino acid. The presence of a single essential amino acid in inadequate quantity decreases the nutritional value of protein markedly.- Single Cell Protein Production from Sugar Beet Pulp

As a Welding Practitioner with both on and off the shop floor working experience coupled with professional visits to Manufacturing and Fabrication units using welding as a major process, I have formed a view that Professionals in other areas are always in-charge of proceedings and dominate the decision making processes. Team work is often missing, welding professionals are frustrated and contractors and operators are allowed to work at their will.- An Approach to Best Welding Practice

Objectives: In this paper, we have evaluated the effectiveness of classification of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals using the correlation between channels as a method of features selection. Methods/Statistical Analysis: First data is broken sample wise, then correlation coefficient between channel pair for each sample is calculated. After that mean of the correlation coefficient of all channel pair for each class over all samples is calculated and in a similar manner, standard deviation from the mean is also calculated. For feature selection we have plotted a pair of the Gaussian curves between channels of two separate classes and choose those channels which give us lower misclassified area as features. Then these features are used for training purpose of Support Vector Machine (SVM). Findings: Most of the previous researches follow either signal processing approach or machine learning approach while we emphasized upon the nature of the signal propagation amongst the neurons. The basic idea behind the feature selection is taken from the way the signals propagate from one neuron to the other. In our work we assume that EEG signals follow the normal distribution and verify the fact using chi-square test. On applying SVM the accuracy of classification on testing data confirms that correlation among channels can be used for feature selection. Application/Improvements: The results can be improved by improving the pre-processing of EEG signals. It can be used to develop a Brain Computer Interaction (BCI) system.Keywords

Finger millet is a staple food crop in dryland, tribal areas and Diayara areas. It is cultivated both for grains and ‘fodder. SRI principles have been creatively adopted to suit the cultivation practices for finger millet, making it possible to produce 3-4 times more crop yield than with farmers’ traditional practices, without depending on new varieties. It does use small amounts of purchased inputs along with mostly organic inputs. It is cultivated mainly in Asia and Africa. It is staple food crop in many hilly regions of the country and it is grown both for grain and forage. In Northern hills, grains are eaten in the form of chapaties and in South India, grain flour is used for preparing gruel, cakes or unleavened bread, puddings, porridges, sweets etc. Germinating grains are malted and fed to infants and good for pregnant woman. It is considered as nutritive food for adults of different ages. Grains contain 9.2 per cent protein, 1.29 per cent fat, 76.32 per cent carbohydrates, 2.24 per cent minerals 3 per cent ash and 0.33 per cent Ca. It also contains vitamins A and B with small amount of P. It is good for persons suffering from diabetes. Green straw is suitable for making silage.

Diploma course in civil engineering is being offered by majority of polytechnics in the country. Considerable amount of unemployment is being experienced in the diploma holders graduating in this course. It is indeed a strange dichotomy that in a country like India, where more than 60 percent of plan budget go to construction industry directly or indirectly, diploma holders in civil engineering still face such an unemployment. This paper highlights the finding of a study conducted to ascertain the factors contributing to the unemployment of such diploma holders and make recommendations/suggestions for enhanced employability of diploma holders in this field.- Current Status of Technical Education and Suggestions for Re-Engineering-A Study

The paper highlights the present status of technical education and makes suggestions for reengineering technical education based on the views obtained through a structured questionnaire from over 150 professionals and academicians on various aspects of technical education. The study reveals that there has been considerable expansion of technical education at different levels. This large scale expansion has resulted in the deterioration of quality and standards of technical education in the country. This has also greatly affected the employment of degree and diploma holders. Good percentage of students are unable to find gainful employment for years together. The process of teaching-learning focuses great attention on theory rather than developing professional skills like: thinking, independent study, problem solving, creativity, interpersonal and communication skills etc. Majority of students are still not proficient in making use of computers for various engineering applications. There is a marginal linkage of technical institutions with the world of work. The system of examination, by and large, is paper pencil type, stressing on rote learning. There is hardly any effect of recommendations made by various seminars!conferences for improving technical education system in the country due to lack of concern, lethargy, initiative and accountability.
Based on the findings of the study, the paper proposes that the thrust of teaching-learning process should be on "Concept of use" for developing transfer skills in the students so that they are able to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the institutions to solve practical problems or innovate new designs and systems. The paper further proposes that technical education should be offered on "Cooperative Basis" to face the challenges of 21 st century. Cooperative Education has been described as a "Strategy of Applied Learning" imbibing the concept of use without increasing the duration of programmes.
The paper finally makes suggestions for improving the management and administration of the system.

Thiazolidinone is a five member heterocyclic ring system with nitrogen and sulphur as the hetero atoms and a carbonyl group at 4th position. It shows the broad spectrum activity against Gram positive, Gram negative and fungal organism. Beside the antibacterial and antifungal activity we also reviewed the antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, anthelmintic, analgesic, diuretic and antihyperglycemic activity of thiazolidinone. Substituting thiazolidinones with various substitutions perhaps in the minimum requirement for showing biological activities. Researchers have synthesized these thiazolidinone derivatives through different complex pathways. This review focus on different strategies followed for the convenient synthesis of thiazolidinone based heterocyclic derivatives. The steps include condensation followed by cyclization of Schiff's bases, either in one pot or in a step-wise manner under different conditions. Chloroacetyl chloride, mercaptoacetic acid, ethylchloroacetate and potassium thiocynate are the most common used reagents used for the synthesis of thiazolidinone with various heterocyclic compounds.Keywords

Objectives: In this paper, dynamic performance of Wind Energy System (WES) comprising of Squirrel Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) is analyzed for grid connected operation with DSTATCOM. Methods/Statistical analysis: In the present work, modeling, analysis and working of a low voltage distribution system supported with wind energy conversion system is analyzed. A Distribution STAtic COMpensator (DSTATCOM) has been modeled and simulated using MATLAB. The effectiveness of the proposed system has been verified by simulation and analytical results. The indirect current control technique is employed for present analysis as it is simple, robust and favourable as compared to other methods. Findings: The DSTATCOM improves the performance of Wind Energy System (WES) under transient condition i.e. change in wind speed and sudden change in load. The DSTATCOM augmented with wind energy system addresses the power quality and grid stability issues. Application/Improvements: The DSTATCOM in present study provides transient voltage support and also maintains the stability of a WES.When wind penetration increases beyond 30%, the system loses stability. A detailed simulations study is carried out on the application of DSTATCOM to improve the stability of the systemKeywords

Tourism industry constitutes small and medium level enterprises at large which provides employment opportunities both directly and indirectly through its linkages with various other sectors of the economy. It employs people with skilled, semi-skilled and even professionally unskilled too. The combination of skills and characteristics hold an individual in much better instead than a formal academic qualification within lower paid roles, but as individuals look to progress up the management ladder a lack of education and understanding of academic and business principles are likely to considerably slow progression and promotional opportunities (Baum, 2006). Through this study the authors examine the employees and employers attitudes towards recruitment and selection of human resources at various positions in their enterprises. Structured questionnaires were collected from 70 employers or managers and 140 employees in order to study the employee recruitment and selection method in travel trade enterprises situated in Haridwar-Rishikesh-Dehradun in Uttarakhand. The findings suggest that these tourism and travel trade enterprises should consider about and follow the ethical globally accepted human resource management practices including recruitment and selection methods for employees in order to remain competitive in long run of business, which is missing in most of these enterprises.In order to achieve the framed objectives, researcher has performed a wide review of the prevailing literature emphasizing on the human resource management in the tourism sector in general and focused to the travel businesses in the study area in particular. An attempt was made to prepare a profile of the tourism and travel trade enterprises with the help of the primary data obtained from the empirical study carried out with the help of primary data sources including structured questionnaires, informal interviews and object observation methods.

The mites of the family Phytoseiidae have received worldwide attention because of their importance in biological control of mite and some of the soft-bodied insect pests of various crops. This is probably the most explored and exploited among all the predatory mites. In view of their importance, these mites have also been explored in India, from where many new species have been described since 1960. Apart from these, some work has also been carried out in India on their bioecology, predator–prey interactions, and the effects of pesticides on these mites, which have been reviewed in Gupta (2003a).Full Text

Cyanide is present in two major forms such as sodium cyanide (NaCN) and potassium cyanide (KCN) and is highly toxic. Cyanide is the inhibitor of cytochrome C oxidase. Most hazardous compound is hydrocyanic acid that can be inhaled as gas at ambient room temperature. Oral ingestion of cyanide in liquid and solid form i.e. 200 mg or inhalation of 270 ppm in air causes death within minutes. Cyanide in body fluid can be determined using spectrophotometric techniques which are very time consuming and requires lot of sample pre-treatment. An attempt has been made to develop the new method for determination cyanide in blood using Multi Mode electrode in differential pulse voltammetry. Blood was processed using microwave assisted closed vessel digestion using 35% nitric acid and ultrapure water. The buffer of pH 10.2 was used with a sweep rate of 0.01V/s and pulse amplitude 0.05V by HMDE by standard addition method. The solution was stirred during pre-electrolysis at 0.00 V for purge time of 300 seconds from 0.00V to -0.500V.Keywords

India’s basic strength lies in agriculture but its vast potential has not been fully exploited. Themarket potential can appreciate by reforming agriculture and making its produce internationally competitive in terms of quality and safety of food.Producing internationally competitive, quality farm produce per se requires competitive innovative farming practices and comprehending the concept of globally accepted Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) within the framework of commercial agricultural production for long term improvement and sustainability is important. Implementation of GAPs would promote optimum utilization of resources such as pesticides, fertilizers, water and eco-friendly agriculture. It also takes care in integrating pre and post-harvest handling and other logistics. Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) is important in the areas where appropriated control measures need to be strengthened and farms producing raw materials to ensure sustained supply of produce of their desirable quality. Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) based farming, Integrated Nutrient Management and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) with more emphasis on biological methods of control, soil test based nutrient application, increasing nutrient use efficiency, adoption of precision farming technologies and use of pest and disease resistant varieties, etc. seems to be a viable solution. It has the potential to address the concerns of different stakeholders (governments, food retailing industries, farmers and consumers) about food production and security, food safety and quality and the environmental sustainability of agriculture.- An Approach to Best Welding Practice:Part – XVI

The indigenous phytoseiid predatory mite Neoseiulus indicus (Narayanan and Kaur) was recorded by several Indian researchers as a predator of different species of phytophagous mites including Oligonychus indicus, Tetranychus urticae, T. neocaledonicus, T. ludeni, T. macfarleni, Polyphagotarsonemus latus and the astigmatid mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae. For the first time in the country, a simple protocol has been developed for mass rearing of N. indicus in closed units on the astigmatid mite T. putrescentiae, which in turn could be maintained on a wheat bran medium. Neoseiulus indicus has been successfully and continuously mass reared for more than four years at the ICARNBAIR, Bengaluru, India. A simple release methodology has also been developed for the mass reared predatory mites. This rearing protocol can be adopted by commercial units and also by farmers/polyhouse growers as an on-farm production system.Keywords

Tourism is a creative instrument for poverty reduction. Pro-Poor Tourism (PPT) provides economic, socio-cultural and even environmental benefits to the globally impoverished community. The main goal of this study is to demystify the constructs of Pro-Poor Tourism and investigate the local community perception regarding the role of tourism in poverty alleviation. The present study attempts to understand the development of pro-poor tourism from social, cultural and economic dimensions by delving into the perceptions of the locally disadvantageous community providing tourism services in the Kashmir region of India. Primary and secondary data have been collected from the targeted respondents through a structured questionnaire for conducting this research. The study areas that have been selected for conducting the present study are Gulmarg (Study Area A) and Pahalgam (Study Area B) from the Kashmir region. The data collected were analysed through descriptive statistics, factor analysis and regression analysis to draw reliable and representative interpretations. The findings of this study may help the strategy makers and other community groups develop effective policy interventions for developing creative tourism practices as an anti-poverty programme that has local and global implications for promoting tourism for Poverty alleviation, ensuring sustainability.Keywords

The MACE telescope has recently been commissioned at Hanle, Ladakh, India. It had its first light in April 2021 with a successful detection of very high energy gamma-ray photons from the standard candle Crab Nebula. Equipped with a large light collector of 21 m diameter and situated at an altitude of ~4.3 km amsl, the MACE telescope is expected to explore the mysteries of the non-thermal Universe in the energy range above 20 GeV with very high sensitivity. It can also play an important role in carrying out multi-messenger astronomy in India.Keywords
