With the transformation in the information technology, easy accessibility of the Internet, improved and reliable banking services, use of smartphones and tablets, e-commerce has given business an unprecedented marketing opportunity over the past few years. It has also provided an opportunity to consumers to buy the products just by clicking the mouse. Online retailing has emerged as a threat to the traditional retailing. Consumers have plenty of options to buy their products, not only from domestic market but also from international market. In this study an attempt has been made to assess the consumer's preferences while purchasing their products online and offline. Further, it has also been tried to study the comparative advantages and disadvantages of traditional stores and web stores. To attain the objectives, responses from 875 respondents were collected randomly between January 2012 and April 2012 from the consumers residing in Delhi and NCR. To evaluate their preferences 7 point scale rating method has been applied where 1 indicates absolutely low and 7 indicates absolutely high. The study found that web stores have some competitive advantages over traditional stores as they charge lower price, provide easy and effortless information about the products, provide convenient mechanism to place orders and payment, better assortment, keep ample stock, and also provide wider options for consumers to select their purchases. The study further reveals that traditional retailers also have some competitive edge over web stores. Traditional retailers provide facility of physical examination of products, immediate possession, surety of delivering the same product as specified, immediate satisfying consumer's queries with the help of salesmen, better after sales services and better return policy. Besides all these, it also helps consumers to have social and family experience while shop.Keywords

A global nonlinear stability analysis is performed for a rotating couple-stress fluid layer heated from below saturating a porous medium for different conducting boundary systems. Here, the global nonlinear stability threshold for convection is exactly the same as the linear instability boundary. This optimal result is important because it shows that linearized instability theory has captured completely the physics of the onset of convection. The eigenvalue problems for different conducting boundaries are solved by using Galerkin method. The effects of couple-stress parameter, Darcy-Brinkman number and Taylor number on the onset of convection are also analyzed.Keywords

A conditional nonlinear stability threshold for rotating in a couple-stress fluid heated from below saturating a porous media with temperature and pressure dependent viscosity is exactly the same as the linear instability boundary. This optimal result is important because it shows that linearized instability theory has captured completely the physics of the onset of convection. Then the effect of couple stress parameter , variable dependent viscosity , medium permeability , Taylor number and Darcy- Brinkman number on the onset of convection are also analyzed.Keywords

This study evaluates sources of resistance to the pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in 15 long duration pigeonpea genotypes with experiments done during 2017-19. Association of morphological and biochemical traits was also evaluated. The results revealed that the least pod damage was attributed to high phenol content in pods (-0.668**), seeds (-0.719**) and high trichomes density (-0.637*). The susceptibility of genotypes (IVT-1-903, IVT-12-904, IVT-703) was indicated by their high pest susceptibility rating (PSR), and due to greater pod length (0.563*) and width (0.603**). The activity of protein, reducing sugars, chlorophyll, carbohydrates, pod wall thickness and number of seeds/ pod was also studied. Genotypes IVT-705, IVT-706 and IVT-1-901 emerged out to be the least susceptible (PSR = 4). Role of these traits are discussed to identify basis of resistance.Keywords
