Not AvailablePrices of agricultural commodities like onion and chilli showed a high degree of volatility, which created a crisis like situation drawing attention from the policymakers, researchers, and farmers. An attempt was made to analyze the dynamics of production, price and export between regulated and unregulated crops. Results revealed that production variability was high in onion and chilli and low in FCV tobacco. The stability index for FCV tobacco price was high (0.90), while it was low for prices of onion (0.41) and chilli (0.59). The stability index for the export of FCV tobacco was high (0.81), while it was low for onion (0.31) and chilli (0.52). Thus, crop size fixation, a unique regulatory apparatus, is a potential instrument to shield the price volatility syndrome and stabilize exports.Not Availabl

Not AvailableIndia is the fourth largest producer of oilseeds accounting for about 19% of the global area, 2.7% of global production in the world. The oilseeds crops have registered the significant growth in area and production in last 30 years. However, compare to cereals like paddy and wheat, the growth rate of area and production of oilseeds is insignificant and there exists wide variability in their yield in different states of the country. The study has explored the growth performance, and dynamics of major oilseeds in different states of the country. Oilseeds exhibited a dismal picture in their production performance both spatially and temporally.Not Availabl

POINT DEFECT PARAMETERS FOR NaClO3 CRYSTALS

La conductivité électrique en courant continu d'un cristal ionique a bas point de fusion tel NaClO3 a été analysée et les paramètres de défauts ponctuels ont été évalués. Nous décrivons un procédé pour déterminer l'enthalpie de formation du défaut de Frenkel à partir des mesures de conductivité dans le domaine de température où les contributions des défauts intrinsèques et extrinsèques sont comparables. L'enthalpie obtenue est en bon accord avec la valeur obtenue par une expérience indépendante sur la dilatation thermique de ces cristaux.The de electrical conductivity data on a low melting ionic crystal such as NaClO3 has been analysed and the point defect parameters have been evaluated. A procedure is described for determining the Frenkel defect formation enthalpy from the conductivity data in the temperature region where intrinsic and extrinsic defects contribution to conductivity are comparable in magnitude. The enthalpy so obtained is in good agreement with the value obtained from an independent experiment on the thermal expansion for these crystals

Abstract — Temperature Monitoring System of

Conductors based on GSM SMS and Zigbee is produced in this paper. The temperature of conductors can be monitored in real-time and some accidents caused by the increased temperature can be avoided. The principle and the feature of ARM7, GSM SMS and Zigbee communication are analyzed The construction of this system is outlined, and the force modal of calculating the variety of the sag due to the increased temperature of conductors is built. The ARM7 is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor, which offers high performance and very low power consumption. The ARM architecture is based on Reduced Instruction Set Computer. GSM is a global digital mobile communication system.GSM SMS is a kind of short message service, by which the limited data or text message can be transmitted. Zigbee is a free open source protocol which can be used for wireless applications. Using this protocol overall development cost can be reduced. Using this application engineers can easily calculate the variations in conductors due to change in temperature. This paper will provide block diagram and its detail applications and hardware and software requirement for developing this application

Not AvailableThe present paper is an attempt to evaluate the importance of BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in global tobacco and to assess the impact of WHO-FCTC implementation in these countries. The study was primarily based on the time series secondary data on area, production and trade. The BRICS countries include three of the five top tobacco producers, two of the five top tobacco consumers, three of five top tobacco leaf exporters and two of the top five tobacco importers in the world. The findings from the present study revealed that WHO-FCTC has not made significant dent on reduction of global tobacco production and trade during first decade of its implementation. Besides, the comparison among BRICS countries and other major tobacco producing countries revealed an increasing trend in tobacco production in BRICS countries and contributing to one third share of global tobacco exports during the past 16 years. As the BRICS countries account for lion share in global tobacco area (55%), production (64%) and exports (35%) during past 16 years, the measures taken by these countries will contour the global tobacco sector. The future tobacco related policies in BRICS countries will have huge ramifications on the prospects of global tobacco sector.Not Availabl

Not AvailableThe ICAR-CTRI, an ISO 9001:2015 certified institute, has made an impressive progress in development of whole range of improved varieties and standard production practices that are instrumental for enhanced productivity, quality and exportability of Indian tobacco. It also played a proactive role in dissemination of agro-technologies for field level adoption by way of conducting awareness and sensitization programmes and providing in-season advisories. Given the fact that the institute has been largely responsible for sustainable progress made in tobacco sector, it needs to showcase its achievements and impacts for increasing its visibility and for getting the recognition it deserves. Against this backdrop, a bulletin entitled ICAR-Central Tobacco Research Institute: Research Contribution and Impact is brought out to present a clear picture about the visibility of the institute as evident from the spread of its varieties, technologies and services on one hand and the impact they created in terms of increased tobacco productivity, quality, farm income and thus economic well being of farmers. The publication embodies the gist of technologies and soil and crop management interventions recommended for tobacco production efficiency and product quality.Not Availabl
