Nitrogen harvest index in relation to productivity in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L)

Twelve lines derived from three single crosses were used to evaluate the role of the two characters, nitrogen harvest index (NHI) and total nitrogen percentage (TN) in selection or productivity in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The selected lines could be differentiated either by the breeding process, intermating or selfing, through which they were evolved or by their high or low yield levels. There was significant variation among the lines for TN and NHI. NHI was positively and significantly correlated with pod yield. NHI and TN together could identify the yield status of all the lines correctly. The mean values of NHI and TN were much higher in high yielding lines compared to the values of their superior progenitor parent. The reverse was true for low yielding lines. The results suggest that nitrogen harvest index is an important parameter to reckon with in programmes of yield improvement in groundnut

Network Fault Detection Using Test Packet Generation: A Survey

Networks are becoming larger and a lot of advanced, yet directors think about various tools like ping and traceroute to correct issues. Instead of using different tools to debug the network problems, we introduced an automatic and systematic scheme for testing and debugging networks known as Automatic test Packet Generation (ATPG). This automated approach fetches router configurations to generate a device-independent model. The model is employed to get a minimum set of test packets to analyse each link in the network. The detected failures trigger a separate mechanism to localize the fault by sporadically sending test packets. ATPG will notice each operational (e.g., incorrect firewall rule) and performance problems. ATPG complements however goes on the far side earlier add static checking (which cannot observe functional or performance faults) or fault localization (which solely localizes faults given liveness results).

The life struggles of transgenders in the Nerupatril Neenthi Vandhen

Society looks down upon the birth of transgenders due to genetic mutations. In her autobiography, Padmini says that transgenders should be aware of the mental barriers, dilemmas and physical problems within themselves, create clear good thinking and live with self-confidence. It should be clear that there is transgender just as the human race is male and female. Padmini Prakash's autobiography Nerupatril Neenthi Vandhen (I Swam in the Fire) tells us that we need to respect the spirit of transgenders who are born as one of us and want to live with us. The struggles of transgenders in the society and their names, their inhibitions in society now, the changes made by the social reform thinkers are recorded. Padmini proudly records the achievements of transgenders, social service, work session, making a mark for themselves and gaining their identity in life

Intra population selective mating as a means of improving seed yield in Brassica campestris var. Brown sarson

Six population of brown sarson (Brassica campestris L.) which were complex multiple crosses in their second generation were selected on the basis of genetic, geographic and general combining ability divergence of their parents. In each population, early and late plants were selected and raised to their next generation. In the early and late progeny families, several plants were full-sibbed to produce early and late sib-populations, EE and LL. In addition, phenotypically superior (High) female plants were pollinated with mixed pollen from phenotypically superior (High) or inferior (Low) plants to produce 4 categories of intra-population crosses - Early high x Late high, Early high x Late low; Late high x Early high, Late high x Early low, EE and LL sib-populations registered significant yield advance compared to their original counterparts. But the yield advances recorded by intra-population selective mating were much higher and consistent. The extent of yield improvement was proportional to the initial genetic variability in the populations. The results suggest that disruption of mating between intermediate types even within a genetically broad-based population will be a potent method to breed for enhanced productivity

A viable short-term strategy for breeding composite populations

A viable short-term strategy has been outlined to breed productive composite populations. The major steps in the strategy are generating a base gene pool, reordering it into a productive gene pool by appropriate systems of mating and siphoning composite populations through effective selection. The strategy was field tested in Pennisetum typhoides and Brassica campestris and found efficient. The utility and implication of this strategy are discussed

g- Inverses of Interval Valued Fuzzy Matrices

In this paper, we have discussed the g-Inverses of Interval Valued Fuzzy Matrices (IVFM) as a generalization of g- inverses of regular fuzzy matrices. The existence and construction of g-inverses, {1, 2} inverses, {1, 3} inverses and {1, 4} inverses of Interval valued fuzzy matrix are determined in terms of the row and column spaces

Grundy coloring of middle graph of wheel graph families

A Grundy k-coloring of a graph G is a proper k-coloring of vertices in G using colors {1, 2, · · · , k} such that for any two colors i and j, i < j, any vertex colored j is adjacent to some vertex colored i. The First-Fit or Grundy chromatic number (or simply Grundy number) of a graph G, denoted by Γ (G), is the largest integer k, such that there exists a Grundy k-coloring for G. It can be easily seen that Γ (G) equals to the maximum number of colors used by the greedy (or First-Fit) coloring of G [10]. In this paper, we obtain the Grundy chromatic number of middle graph of graph G, denoted by M (G), where G be a cycle or sunlet graph or star graph or wheel graph or helm graph.Publisher's Versio
