Indian Forester, Vol 122, No 11 (1996), Pagination: 1018-1022Abstract
The effect of water stress and some antitranspirants on the chlorophyll contents of the leaves of Pongamia pinnata (L) Pierre, were studied uuder controlled laboratory conditions. The chlorophyll a, b and total, invariably increased from daily to fortnightly watering interval, however there is a sharp decrease in case of monthly watering interval. The chlorophyll a, b, ratio was maximum at weekly watering interval minimum at monthly watering interval. It shows that the mild trees effects the formation/ accumulation of chlorophyll b more than chlorophyll a (weekly watering interval) however, heavy stress destroy both chlorophyll a and b with the result less photosynthesis and low growth (monthly watering interval).- Mass Productlon of Field Planting Stock of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii Vegetatively through Macro-proliferation

Indian Forester, Vol 118, No 9 (1992), Pagination: 638-646Abstract
A technology developed for production of field planting stock of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii has been described. The advantage of this technology is that it is low cost, simple, easy and involves the use of locally available materials and has direct application in the field. The dependence on bamboo seed production in nature is totally eliminated from second year onwards for mass production of field plantable bamboo saplings. The planting stock, developed vegetatively through macro-proliferation remain small in size which is additional advantage as these are easy to handle and transport. The technology developed, will help to overcome the scarcity of planting stock of bamboo in absence of seed. A plan has been developed and described in this paper for production of 16,000 field plantable saplings of D. hamiltonii vegetatively every year for any desired number of years. Depending upon the targets and the facilities available, the planting stocks in multiples of 16,000 can be produced each year.- Effect of Ziziphus jujuba Leaves Extract on Phagocytosis by Human Neutrophils

The present study was aimed to screen the possible antiobesity effects of ethanol extract of Alpinia galanga rhizomes in cafeteria diet fed obese rats. Obesity was induced in albino rats by feeding cafeteria diet daily for 6 weeks in addition to normal diet. The ethanol extract of rhizomes was administered at a daily dose of 500 mg/kg orally for 6 weeks. Body weight and food intake was measured initially and then every week thereafter. On day 42, serum glucose, lipids and leptin levels were estimated and then the weight of liver and parametrial adipose tissues was determined. The liver triglyceride content was estimated. The in vitro pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of the extract was also determined. The extract produced inhibition of increase in body weight, energy intake and parametrial adipose tissue weight induced by cafeteria diet. The extract significantly reduced serum lipid and leptin levels, which were elevated by feeding cafeteria diet. In addition, the extract significantly inhibited the increase in liver weight and accumulation of hepatic triglycerides. The extract also produced dose dependent inhibition of in vitro pancreatic lipase activity. The present study concludes that, ethanol extract of Alpinia galanga rhizomes is useful for treatment of cafeteria diet induced obesity in rats.Keywords

The present study was carried out to investigate antiulcer activity of various solvent extracts of Rosa Centifolia (Linn.) flowers in different ulcer models like pyloric ligation, indomethacin, ethanol and cold restraint stress induced ulcer models of rats. In pylorus ligation model, various parameters were studied viz. volume and pH of gastric juice, total acidity, free acidity, ulcer score, ulcer index and percentage protection was determined. Ulcer score, ulcer index and percentage inhibition of ulceration was determined for other ulcer models. Pantoprazole (8 mg/kg p.o.) was used as the standard drug. Pretreatment with the extracts (400 mg/kg p.o.) showed significant protection against four different ulcer models. In pylorus ligated model, all the extracts showed significant decrease in the volume of gastric juice, free and total acidity, ulcer score, ulcer index and increase in pH of gastric juice, while in other models, there was significant decrease in ulcer score and ulcer index as compared to the toxicant control group. In conclusion, Rosa Centifolia (Linn.) flowers possess significant anti-ulcer and cytoprotective effect.Keywords

Objective: To evaluate the antiulcer activity of Ziziphus jujuba leaves extract (ZJE) at various doses using different experimentally induced gastric ulcer models in rats. Methods: Gastric ulcers were induced in rats by Pylorus ligation, 80% ethanol (1ml/rat) and aspirin (200mg/kg). In pylorus ligation induced ulcer model the parameters studied were gastric volume, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index. Lesion index and gastric mucus content were determined in ethanol induced ulcer model and in aspirin induced ulcer model the ulcer index was determined. Results: In pylorus ligation model, ZJE pretreatment caused significant reduction in gastric volume, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index as compared to control group. In ethanol-induced ulcers, ZJE was effective in reducing lesion index and increasing the gastric mucus content. It was also effective in decreasing ulcer index in aspirin-induced ulcers. All the results obtained with ZJE were dose dependent. Conclusions: The results suggest that ZJE possesses significant and dose dependent antiulcer activity. The antiulcer activity of ZJE can be attributed to its cytoprotective and antisecretory action.Keywords

In this paper titled: “A New Method For Texture Features Extraction (TFE) Of Ultra Sound Images Based OnGabber Filter Segmentation Using Matlab” is used for to detect abnormal structural changes of ultra sound images. In research is being conducted with the objective to innovatively develop and apply image segmentation and image feature extraction techniques to efficiently segment the ultrasound image which can be used to automatically detect the diseases in different organs of the body. The process of identifying regions with similar texture and separating regions with different texture is used for the segmentation of ultrasound images.Firstly, a multi-channel texture analysis technique that relies on 2D Gabor Filters is used to isolate regions of perceptually homogeneous texture in an image. Textures are modeled as patterns dominated by a narrow band of spatial frequencies and orientation. Properly tuned Gabor filters react strongly to specific textures and weakly to all others. Then the features of the image were extracted from the image and the clustering of pixels in the feature space produced the segmented image. Unsupervised approach is used for texture segmentation. K-mean clustering method is proposed to cluster the pixels belonging to the same texture region provided the number of different textures in the image is known beforehand.

Neural Networks have been developed rapidly during the recent few years and it is extensively applied for the enhancement of the digital image. An image enhancement is the process for improving the quality of digital image. A large number of conventional enhancement methods have been proposed and developed. The traditional methods are contrast enhancement, histogram equalization, edge sharpening, variety of filters etc. On the other hand, the back propagation algorithms with feed-forward networks, sigmoid functions, feed back networks are designed for enhancement in the digital image with high probability. The aim of this study is to reveal a comparison between conventional networks and Neural Networks. To accomplish this purpose, no of experiments has been conducted and examined. For this experimental analysis, statistical method has been used to classify and characterize the behavior of the images. Experiments on images are implemented to confirm the validity of the proposed analysis. One of the purpose of the study was to identify the main factor affecting the image and result are obtained were validated with existing techniques. This paper focuses on three popular features of image enhancement that are auto enhancement, face detection and edge detection.Keywords

In this paper titled "A New Approach for Tree-Structured Wavelet Transform based Texture Retrieval Analysis (TRA) by Using MatLab" is define Wavelet transform-based texture analysis, as I found in the different research, uses sub-band energy values as features, but not the order of energy values. In fact, a textured image, after a wavelet decomposition, yields an energy distribution which can be rank ordered with respect to the sub-bands. It has been found that the combination of the sub-band energy value and its ranking order leads to a more efficient texture retrieval mechanism.Keywords

For the purpose of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) An up-to-date comparison of state-of-the-art low-level color and texture feature extraction approach is presented in this paper. The CBIR problem is identified by us because there is a need to search the huge databases having images efficiently and effectively. in this paper we suggest a color and texture feature extraction algorithms. Special attention is given for CBIR is the similarity measurement using correlation coefficient with distinct distance matrices properties. A New approach for image retrieval technique is proposed to improve retrieval performance, and reduce the extraction search times. Matching is performed between the test image and the object image and quality of matching is measured in terms of grading.

The ‗Simulator for Database Aggregation using Metadata‘ addresses the problem of hardcoded end-user applications by sitting between the end-user application and the DBMS, and intercepting the end user's SQL. With a Simulator for Database Aggregation using metadata, the end-user application now speaks "base-level" SQL and never attempts to call for an aggregate directly. Using metadata describing the data warehouse's portfolio of aggregates, the aggregate navigator transforms the base-level SQL into "simulator-aware" SQL. The end user and the application designer can now proceed to build and use applications, blissfully unaware of which aggregates are available. The goal of an aggregate program in a large data warehouse must be more than just improving performance. This simulator provides dramatic performance gains for as many categories of user queries as possible. The 'Simulator for Database Aggregation using Metadata' is a general purpose simulator. It creates a new database or modify existing database. User enters a base-level SQL query and this simulator transforms this base-level SQL query into simulator-aware SQL (SA-SQL) query. This simulator can solve those queries which are related to the database created by user.Keywords

In this paper “Genes Analysis of Data by Using Hierarchical Quality Threshold Clustering” is an approach which proposed dynamically Growing Hierarchical Self Organizing Map (DGHSOM) with Nano array to identify co-expressed genes. The DGHSOM overcomes the problem of specifying the number of clusters and total number of iteration before the processing now, we are using QT (quality threshold) clustering is a method of partitioning data, which is invented for gene clustering. It requires more computing power than k- means, but does not require specifying the number of clusters. DNA Nano array technology is a challenging area in bioinformatics research, as we have to monitor millions of genes simultaneously. The expression profile of the gene can be useful in cancer disease analysis and its diagnosis. Gene expression data is very voluminous and very difficult to analyze. Several clustering algorithm have been proposed to identify co expressed genes. The Self-organizing-maps (SOM) is a powerful tool for recognizing and classifying features in complex, micro array data. But the interpretation of co- expression of genes are heavily depends on domain knowledge and SOM lacks since the number of clusters must be determined before training.Keywords

School reform has always focused on student achievement. Many reform efforts failed, however, to make the link between achievement and behaviour. In some instances resources were directed to instruction with very little emphasis on support systems for students who were having behavioural problems. The study assess the knowledge of Primary school teachers regarding Selected Common Behavioural Problems of Children, evaluate the effectiveness of Structure Teaching Programme on Selected Common Behavioural Problems of Children and find out the difference between pre test and post test score. This is a pre-test post-test experimental design and evaluative research. The study was conducted on 80 primary school teachers conveniently selected from ten primary schools. The pre test results of the study shows that primary school teachers are having little knowledge regarding common behavioural problems of students. The t-test value between pre test and post test shows the significance difference.This study concluded that structure teaching program is effective tools to improve the knowledge of primary school teachers regarding Behavioural Problems of Children.Keywords

Objectives: This preliminary study has been undertaken to access the impact of demonetization on agriculture and related activities of different economic agents.
Methods/Statistical analysis: The study is based on primary data collected from farmers (40), traders (30) and consumers (40) and also reviews the impact of demonetization on agriculture from different sources. Percentage and tabular analysis have been used to analyze the data.
Findings: The results show that, in the sample small and marginal farmers were most affected in contrast to large farmers in case of sowing, purchase of inputs and sale of agricultural commodities. Among commodities, farmers dealing with perishables were more affected than who dealt with grains. However, wholesalers were most affected in grain markets & retailers in fruits and vegetable markets. Consumers have used more than one mode of payment to deal with cash crunch situation but, the lower income class people and those who did not use alternative payment methods (e-payment) were affected most. Moreover, all the economic agents have responded in favor of normalization of situation at the end of February, 2017.
Improvements: However, there are scopes in future to replicate this type of study at larger scale and computation of cost and benefits of such policy shocks to know the exact economic impact.

Any service being offered by the libraries should have well-defined and documented service policy with clearly articulated guidelines. The requirement of such a comprehensive service guidelines become more crucial in case the service is comparatively newer and the professionals as-well-as the users are not accustomed with such kind of information service. Virtual Reference Service/ Digital Reference Service (VRS/DRS) is one such innovative service which calls for framing of such guidelines for providing effective VRS. This paper does the content analysis of the two very significant VRS guidelines stipulated by The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and Reference & User Services Association (RUSA) respectively. The paper attempts to analyse, synthesise and consolidate the major outcomes of these two guidelines and presents the lucid explanation of the same in coherent and cohesive manner. The discussion is structured aptly under 15 sections for easy adoption by the Indian libraries that are planning to launch VRS in future. A brief snapshot of growth of literature pertaining to the VRS/DRS guidelines has also been incorporated.Keywords
