Trees remove atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis, that stores a tremendous amount of carbon in their structures. They act as a major CO2 sink which captures carbon from the atmosphere and stores it in the form of fixed biomass. Therefore, growing trees in the urban areas having a potential role regarding the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 in the form of biomass. Thus, the present investigation was carried out to calculate the carbon sequestration of 38 standing tree species in Shivaji University campus. The biomass and total organic carbon of standing trees is estimated by the non destructive method. The population of Gliricidia maculate is more in the university campus but it sequestrates the carbon in very less amount (0.329 tones/year) while the Ficus racemosa species sequestrated more carbon (65.367 tones/year).Keywords

The ischolar_main and tuber crops are of immense importance with respect to their varying utility and nutritional aspects. This review is aimed at discussing the developments in mechanization of peeling systems for the ischolar_main and tuber crops in food processing related industries and at house hold. The ischolar_main and tuber crops are produced in significant amount in India and world. Production of ginger, potato and sweet potato in India for the year 2017-2018 was 1075 MT, 49344 MT and 1465 MT, respectively. These crops are consumed in all over world for their peculiar characteristics. These ischolar_main and tuber crops are rich sources of phytochemicals and bioactive compounds which are reported to have many health benefits. Many of these ischolar_main and tuber crops are covered by a protective covering or peel which in general is inedible and is of less significance in view point nutrition. Hence, before further processing or consumption usually this peel is removed. The peel is removed by many methods like manual, mechanical, thermal and chemical. Being high level of heterogeneity in the structure of ischolar_main and tuber crops like ginger, potato and sweet potato peeling processes face a numerous problems. There had been considerable developments in mechanization of peeling systems, however each of these with certain shortcomings. Mechanical peeling is more efficient (75-80%) with minimum loses, easy to operate and other advantages. This review will help in finding the pros and cons of various in mechanized peeling systems and future scope for improvement in these systems.Keywords

Quality Circle is one of the platform where group of people in the organization solves the problem exist in their workplace. This activity improves teamwork, creative ability within the employees of the organization along with the growth of the organization. This paper represents a case study on transformation from manual token generation to automatic token generation system for library to collect fine and photocopy fees. Library is a core component of any educational institution. Libraries give people the opportunity to find jobs, explore research, experience new ideas, get lost in wonderful stories, while at the same time providing a sense of place for gathering. It’s never just a random collection of books. In our institute’s central library, we were working with a traditional manual method of issuing token for photocopying facility and book fine collection. The current method uses paper and pen mode for the token generation. It consumes a lot of time to tally the accounts and generate report. We have taken this problem into consideration to make the system fully automatic by building a web application. The proposed system consists admin-user modules comprising mainly two modules for xerox utility and fine collection. The system also keeps the track of daily transactions. Additionally, the system has helped to reduce the paper work with human efforts and time, generating the reports on a click with easy tally of accounts.Keywords
