A Study on Decision Making Ability and Participation in Various Agriculture Activities Performed by Farm Women in Khargone District of M.P

The role of women has always been a multi-dimensional and significant as women have performed well in case of agricultural activities, domestic activities, marketing activities as far as labour requirement is considered. The decision-making process is an important segment of every household because the functioning of family resource management depends on the efficiency of decision-making progress. So, women involvement in decision-making process has been of great importance because sampling method to make a sample of 120 respondents. Hence finally the sampling consisted of 120 respondents. More number of farm women were found to have level of decision making process: the highest decision making behavior in sowing followed by winnowing process, seed processing, irrigation management , collection of harvested crop, storage, field preparation, selection of seed/variety, marketing, Manures and fertilizer application, weeding, harvesting, seed treatment, Pest and disease management and soil testing.

A Study on Training Need of Wheat Growers Regarding Improved Production Technology in Jabalpur District of Madhya Pradesh

The study area most of the farmers are growing Wheat at the farm level due to its genetically advance which caused low cost of cultivation due to low use of chemical and realizing high yield and less losses by insect pest damage. For production of Wheat the agricultural practices required needs special package of practices to boost-up the productivity with low cost of production. Results reported that training need in adoption of improved wheat production technology. Highly training need in case of Improved variety (mean score 2.56) followed by Marketing (mean score 2.35), Plant protection (mean score 2.30), Application of herbicides uses   (mean score 2.25), Insect –pest management (mean score 2.14), Storage (mean score 2.13), Use of affected equipment and machinery (mean score 2.12), Application of manure and fertilizers (mean score 2.11), Time of harvesting (mean score 1.96), Method of seed sowing (mean score 1.96) and Field preparation (mean score 1.80).Data reported overall training need in adoption of improved wheat production technology. Table show that majority of the respondents (45.00 percent) were need often training followed by 32.50 percent respondents were need always training and 22.50 percent respondents were need rarely training.

Constraints faced Panchayat Members in Relation to Agricultural Development Programs in Ujjain District (M.P.)

In india Panchayati Raj now functions as a system of governance in which Gram Panchayats are the basic units of local administration. The system has three levels: Gram Panchayat (village level), Mandal Parishad or Block Samiti or Panchayat Samiti (block level), and Zila Parishad (district level). Panchayat Raj has come to be related with two broad images. First, it is a government by itself and second it is an agency of the state government. In the integrated exercise of planning for social and economic development, co-ordinate roles, the present set up is a three-tier representative structure of government where the administrators, elected leaders and local population participate in the developmental effort. In this regard the members of Panchyat faced many problems there this study confront the constrains faced by members and suggestions to overcome them with 120 sample unit of Ujjain district. The major finding was obtained in this study that the most serious constraint perceived by the Gram Panchayat Members during agriculture development programmes was Insufficient use of communication media  (85.83%) as it was perceived to the highest extent by gram Panchayat Members with major suggestion of them Properly and timely use of communication media.

Portal Dosimetry as a patient specific Quality Assurance tool for Volumetric Arc Radiotherapy

Introduction: Volumetric Arc Radiotherapy (VMAT) is an advanced technique. Calculations of VMAT plans are not so accurate even with State-of-Art dose calculation algorithms due to their complexity. Hence pre-treatment patient specific Quality Assurance (QA) of each VMAT plan is required. In the present study Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) based portal dosimetry system was used for pre-treatment patient specific QA. Material and Methods: A total of 50 patients were chosen in this study. Verification plans of each patient were calculated for portal dosimetry then executed on the EPID system to measure the spatial distribution of radiation dose. Calculated and measured dose distribution were compared to evaluate Gamma Index (GI) passing criteria of Dose Difference (DD) of 3% and Distance–to-Agreement (DTA) of 3mm, Area Gamma (γ≤) >95%, Average Gamma (Ave) <0.5% and Maximum Gamma (Max) <3.5%. Results: The mean values of Area Gamma (γ% ≤1) were observed to be varied from 99.14±0.23% to 99.87±0.18%. The Mean Values of Average Gamma (Ave) are found to vary from 0.19±0.05% to 0.15±0.04% and the mean values of Maximum Gamma (Max) found to be varied from 1.94±0.37% to 1.59±0.41%. All the plans were passed the gamma index criteria with very good agreement. Thus the use of Portal Dosimetry for pre-treatment patient QA is found to be a very useful, quick, precise, efficient and effective pre-treatment patient specific QA tool for VMAT treatment. Conclusion: Portal Dosimetry can be utilized for routine use for patient specific quality assurance for Volumetric Arc Radiotherapy treatment

CMS physics technical design report: Addendum on high density QCD with heavy ions

This report presents the capabilities of the CMS experiment to explore the rich heavy-ion physics programme offered by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The collisions of lead nuclei at energies ,will probe quark and gluon matter at unprecedented values of energy density. The prime goal of this research is to study the fundamental theory of the strong interaction - Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) - in extreme conditions of temperature, density and parton momentum fraction (low-x). This report covers in detail the potential of CMS to carry out a series of representative Pb-Pb measurements. These include "bulk" observables, (charged hadron multiplicity, low pT inclusive hadron identified spectra and elliptic flow) which provide information on the collective properties of the system, as well as perturbative probes such as quarkonia, heavy-quarks, jets and high pT hadrons which yield "tomographic" information of the hottest and densest phases of the reaction.0info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
