ABO and Rh Blood Group Distribution Among Kunbis (Maratha) population of Amravati District, Maharashtra
The present study reports the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among the Kunbis (Maratha) population of Amravati district. The phenotypic frequency of blood group B is observed highest (33.06) percent, O (31.04), A (27.02) and AB is lowest (08.33) percent. The phenotypic frequency of Rh negative is (04.26) percent. TheKunbis (Maratha) population shows close genetic relationship with the Gujratis
Genetic Divergence for Yield and Yield-Contributing Traits in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
The cluster analysis grouped the thirty one genotypes of cucumber, collected from different sources in India, into seven clusters. The genotypes Jorji Local, Bengal 60, JJL and Derabassi Local were promising with respect to yield per plant and fruit length, while Gyn-2, Gyn-3 and Gyn-4 were superior for number of fruits per plant. However, genotypes Chakkimore local, Farukabad Local, Chamoli Local and Chamba Local were promising for average fruit weight and fruit breadth
Three-dimensional turbopump flowfield analysis
A program was conducted to develop a flow prediction method applicable to rocket turbopumps. The complex nature of a flowfield in turbopumps is described and examples of flowfields are discussed to illustrate that physics based models and analytical calculation procedures based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are needed to develop reliable design procedures for turbopumps. A CFD code developed at NASA ARC was used as the base code. The turbulence model and boundary conditions in the base code were modified, respectively, to: (1) compute transitional flows and account for extra rates of strain, e.g., rotation; and (2) compute surface heat transfer coefficients and allow computation through multistage turbomachines. Benchmark quality data from two and three-dimensional cascades were used to verify the code. The predictive capabilities of the present CFD code were demonstrated by computing the flow through a radial impeller and a multistage axial flow turbine. Results of the program indicate that the present code operated in a two-dimensional mode is a cost effective alternative to full three-dimensional calculations, and that it permits realistic predictions of unsteady loadings and losses for multistage machines
Driven diffusive systems with mutually interactive Langmuir kinetics
We investigate the simple one-dimensional driven model, the totally
asymmetric exclusion process, coupled to mutually interactive Langmuir
kinetics. This model is motivated by recent studies on clustering of motor
proteins on microtubules. In the proposed model, the attachment and detachment
rates of a particle are modified depending upon the occupancy of neighbouring
sites. We first obtain continuum mean-field equations and in certain limiting
cases obtain analytic solutions. We show how mutual interactions increase
(decrease) the effects of boundaries on the phase behavior of the model. We
perform Monte Carlo simulations and demonstrate that our analytical
approximations are in good agreement with the numerics over a wide range of
model parameters. We present phase diagrams over a selective range of
parameters.Comment: 9 pages, 8 Figure
The nuclear shell effects near the r-process path in the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory
We have investigated the evolution of the shell structure of nuclei in going
from the r-process path to the neutron drip line within the framework of the
Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) theory. By introducing the quartic
self-coupling of meson in the RHB theory in addition to the non-linear
scalar coupling of meson, we reproduce the available data on the shell
effects about the waiting-point nucleus Zn. With this approach, it is
shown that the shell effects at N=82 in the inaccessible region of the
r-process path become milder as compared to the Lagrangian with the scalar
self-coupling only. However, the shell effects remain stronger as compared to
the quenching exhibited by the HFB+SkP approach. It is also shown that in
reaching out to the extreme point at the neutron drip line, a terminal
situation arises where the shell structure at the magic number is washed out
significantly.Comment: 18 pages (revtex), 8 ps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
