A Robust Navigation Technique for Integration in the Guidance and Control of an Uninhabited Surface Vehicle

In this paper, we propose a novel robust navigational approach to be integrated with the guidance and control systems of an uninhabitedsurface vehicle Springer. A weighted Interval Kalman Filter (wIKF) in used for waypoint tracking, and has been compared with that of one that uses a conventional Kalman Filter (KF) navigational design. The conventional KF fails to predict correctly the vehicle’s heading when there is unmodelled uncertainty of the sensing equipment, and thus would negatively affect the performance of subsequent navigation, guidance and control (NGC). While the proposed method using a wIKF technique enhances robustness with respect to erroneous modelling, and thus secures better accuracy and efficiency in completing a mission

TN-1 and PTB 33 are used as susceptible and resistant check in this experiment respectively. None of the land races showed resistant and moderate resistant with SES Score 1, 3 in both BPH and WBPH. Six varieties namely Kalachampa, Kalisaru, Kalajeera, Dubraj, Baikani, Govind showed moderate susceptible reaction to BPH with Score 5. Similarly eleven varieties namely Velari, Mahulkuchii, Seulpani, TikiMahsuri, Kalama, Lajkulibad, Dubraj, Bansapatri Jatia, Magura, Surjakanta. showed moderate susceptible reaction to WBPH. Other varieties showed susceptible and highly susceptible reaction to both BPH and WBPH. Only the genotype Dubraj showed moderately susceptible to BPH and WBPH.Not Availabl

Medicinal Plants of India

Crude extracts of fruits, herbs, vegetables, cereals and other plant materials rich in phenolics and antioxidant activity are of prime interest to the food industry because of their ability to retard oxidative degradation of lipids and hence improve the quality and nutritional value of functional food. Concomitantly, the importance of antioxidant constituents of plant materials in the maintenance of health and protection from coronary heart disease and cancer is also raising interest among scientists, food manufacturers and consumers as part of the current trend towards the use of herbal medicine. In addition, the use of complementary alternative medicine (CAM) by patients suffering from chronic disorders, such as cancers, heart, stroke and immune disorders has been well documented. CAMs are either used on their own (alternative treatments) or in addition to conventional medicine (complementary treatments). CAMs can be grouped into herbal medicines derived from medicinal plants, food supplements that include vitamin preparations, trace elements and other substances such as omega-3 fatty acid
