Academic Libraries in India are facing the problem of shrinking/static budgets and simultaneous exponential rise in journal prices. The need of the hour is to find a pragmatic solution to this problem. Something substantial has to be done in order to facilitate access to scholarly resources to research scholars and faculties. UGC-INFONET and INDEST- Consortium are two major initiatives that have come to the rescue of academic libraries so that they can cater to the needs of academia depending upon them. These revolutionary steps are providing scholarly resources including peer reviewed journals, databases, abstracts, proceedings, etc. These efforts will definitely boost the higher education system in our country.Keywords

Recent research in image processing has been strongly influenced by new developments in de noising techniques. Salt-and-pepper impulse noise is one commonly encountered noise type during image and video communication. Various methods have been implemented for the removal of this type of noise. This paper presents a new approach which first detects the noisy pixels using the binary flag image and then replaces only those pixels which are corrupted and the good pixels kept untouched. It is indicated that this method outperformed several existing methods in both visual image quality and restored signal quantity and gives high PSNR & IEF.Keywords

In gray-level image processing, images of typical scenes contain large areas of gradual intensity change, called segments, bounded by narrow regions of very rapid intensity change, called edges. An edge detector is a procedure or rule that locates a series of points, arranged roughly in a line, where rapid intensity changes have occurred. Edge detection is a problem of fundamental importance in image analysis and is a terminology in image processing and computer vision, particularly in the areas of feature detection and feature extraction. Many different forms of edge detectors have been developed in image processing, including Sobel, Robert, LOG (laplacian of Gaussian), Prewitt, Canny, Mathematical Morphology and Multi-Structure Elements Mathematical Morphology. In this paper all the various edge detection algorithms are discussed and in addition to that, Top-hat and bottom-hat transformation are used for enhancing the image contrast and reduces noise as well.Keywords

A major drawback of block discrete cosine transform-based compressed image is the appearance of visible discontinuities along block boundaries in low bit-rate coding, which are commonly referred as blocking artifacts. In this paper, a post-processing method based on three separate nfiltering modes is proposed for removing these discontinuities. The method consists of three stages: in the first, better estimates of the activity across block boundary for region classification. In the second, based on region classification appropriate filtering mode is applied to the image blocks. In the third, evaluate the performance of the proposed method using performance metric- Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Experiments shows that the proposed method gives better performance in terms of PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and excellent results compared with other approaches.

One hundred fifty three front line demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted on farmers’ fields to demonstrate the effect of improved technologies on the productivity of canola type gobhi sarson var. GSC-7 using cluster approach in district Faridkot of Punjab during Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18. The productivity of gobhi sarson under demonstration plots ranged between 19.2 to 20.4 q and 19.9 to 20.8 q/ha, respectively, for year 2016-17 and 2017-18, whereas, under farmers’ practice, the productivity varied from 14.1 to 14.2 q and 16.6 to 17.1 q/ha for the respective years. The maximum value of extension gap to the tune of 5.10 q/ha was recorded in cluster IV followed by cluster III and V (4.75 q/ha), cluster II (4.65 q/ha) and the least was in cluster I (4.10 q/ha). The technology gap in the demonstration plots over potential yield was the lowest i.e. 1.80 q/ha in cluster IV, whereas, the highest technology gap was recorded in cluster I (2.70q/ha). The technology index was 8.09 per cent for cluster IV and the highest (12.13%) for cluster I while the mean technology index was 9.48 per cent. The value of net returns per ha under demonstration plots was Rs. 71594 and Rs. 72170, whereas, farmers’ practice gave net returns per ha of Rs. 40626 and Rs. 52626 for the year 2016- 17 and 2017-18, respectively. The benefit: Cost ratio varied between 3.76 to 4.05 for 2016-17 and 3.73 to 4.04 for 2017-18 under demonstration plots while the value of same under farmers’ practice varied between 2.46 to 2.55 and 2.80 to 2.93, respectively, for year 2016-17 and 2017-18.Keywords

A study was conducted in South Western Punjab (India) during 2016-18 to assess the economic performance of clusterwise front line demonstration on chickpea (var PBG-7). One hundred ninety five front line demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted at farmers’ fields to demonstrate the effect of improved technologies on the productivity of chickpea using cluster village approach in Faridkot district of Punjab duringRabi 2016-17 and 2017-18. The productivity of chickpea under demonstration plots ranged between 11.9 to 13.2 q and 12.2 to 14.1 q/ha during year 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively, whereas, under farmers’ practice the productivity varied from 9.5 to 10.7 q and 9.0 to 11.2 q/ha for respective years. The extension gap in the demonstration plots over potential yield was the lowest i.e., 1.8 q/ha in cluster I, whereas, the highest extension gap was recorded in cluster II (3.35q/ha) while the average extension gap over all the clusters was 2.57q/ha. The highest value of technology gap of 7.95 q/ha was recorded in cluster I, however, the least value was recorded in cluster IV (6.35) with the average technology gap of 7.10 q/ha over all the clusters. The technology index (%) was 31.75 for cluster IV, 33.50 for V, 35.5 for III, 37.0 for II and the highest, 39.75 per cent for cluster I, while, the mean technology index was 35.5 per cent. The value of net returns per ha under demonstration plots was Rs. 23550 and Rs. 26310, whereas, farmers practice gave net returns of Rs.14110 and Rs.14180 per ha, respectively, for the years 2016-17 and 2017-18. The benefit : cost ratio ranged from 1.80 to 2.00 for 2016-17 and 1.81 to 2.10 for 2017-18 under demonstration plots while the value of same varied between 1.42 to 1.59 and 1.31 to 1.63 under farmers’ practice for year 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively.Keywords
