Behaviour of Market Arrivals and Prices of Selected Vegetable Crops: A Study of Four Metropolitan Markets

This study has been undertaken with the twin objectives of examining the variability pattern of market arrivals and prices of selected vegetable crops (cabbage, cauliflower, tomato and peas) in metropolitan markets of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata and analysing the relationship between market arrivals and prices. The study is based on market arrivals and wholesale prices of different vegetable crops collected from the Azadpur market of Delhi and Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), New Delhi, for the period 1990-2001. The study has shown that the extent of variability in the arrivals of cabbage was lower in Bangalore and higher in Mumbai. The prices were relatively stable in Mumbai but were more volatile in Bangalore. There was broadly a similar pattern in the price variability across different months in Kolkata and Delhi markets. For cauliflower, the variability in the market arrivals was more pronounced in Kolkata than the remaining three markets. The price variability was, however, more marked in Delhi. The extent of variability in the market arrivals of tomato across different months was very high in all the four markets. Likewise, while the maximum variability in the prices of peas was noted for Delhi, these were relatively less marked in Bangalore. The results of the study have confirmed the negative relationship between market arrivals and prices in terms of correlation coefficients over the years and across months in all the four metropolitan markets, though there were several instances of positive relationship.Agricultural and Food Policy,

Role of Semiconductors in Solar Energy

The sun generates solar energy, which is non-depleting, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Every hour, enough sunlight energy strikes the earth to supply the world's an-nual energy demand. In today's generation, electricity was required every hour. Solar energy is used for a wide range of applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential. It may easily obtain energy from direct sunshine. As a result, it is extremely efficient while also being environmentally friendly. We looked at the energy obtained from sunshine in this piece, as well as future trends and challenges.

Study on Design and Simulation of Temperature Control System

Temperature control system is a complicated process which maintains the temperature in a particular defined area to a certain maxima or minima level. In recent times, we are witnessing a rapid growth in industries at global level which has led to globalization and industrialization which further has led the necessary use of the temperature control system and its application in these industries at day-to-day level in manufacturing and maintenance with the increase in the greenhouse effect and depletion of ozone layer. Many factories always maintain a certain area or say a section of operation in their infrastructure that must maintain a range of temperature for process to work successfully. The laboratories of research uncertainly sometimes lack in the use of temperature control system which has further necessitated the use of large chambers of different sizes to perform specific temperature related re-search work which further led to the increase in the cost of re-search work. In certain spe-cific areas there are lot of electronic activities happening or some machinery function like in the server rooms or the area where production plant is, so basically these places work constantly for 24hrs and during the whole day the temperature has to be monitored precisely and frequently so that it can be ensured that the temperature do not instantly rise or fall below the marked temperature which may lead to the acceleration of wearing and tearing of whole system. Living rooms, hospitals, malls, aircrafts etc., are also one of the most important places where monitoring of temperature is required so as to ensure that the thermal comfort is ensured, and thermal comfort here means that the state of mind which feels satisfied with the temperature in the present environment. This is im-portant because if there will be any dissatisfaction with the thermal environment then it can cause the body to be too warm or too by unwanted heating and unwanted cooling of the equipment may further lead to the functional disbalance

Determination of Gender using Discriminant Analysis of Hand Dimensions among Adult Participants

Background: The estimation of gender using hand dimensions is a crucial role in forensic investigation and legal sciences. Objectives: In this study, the mean score of hand measurements have been derived and linear discriminant analysis has been applied to predict gender from hand dimensions. An Independent t-test has been employed to know discrimination between male and female. The accuracy of gender estimation has been derived and checked by ROC curve. Material and Methods: A sample of 150 participants has been collected for the completion of this study, where 78 males and 72 females were found aged between 18 and 24 years. The breadths and lengths of left and right hands of the participants have been measured. Results: Respondents’ mean score of length and breadth of left hand were found 17.69 ± 1.30 and 7.56 ± 1.17, respectively. It was found to be significantly different in the respondents’ mean scores of males and females. Conclusions: The hand dimensions of males were higher than females. The prediction of a number of females and males were 76 and 74, respectively, and its accuracy was observed 0.87. This research can be applied for larger sample and would be helpful in predicting gender discrimination among adults through hand dimensions

Electroencephalographic characterization of a case of infantile spasm with atypical presentation

Infantile spasm is one of the common seizure disorders with serious consequences. It is generally characterized by a muscle spasm of various intensity and distribution, salaam spells, and infantile myoclonic seizures with typical electroencephalography (EEG) features of hypsarrhythmia. Here, a unique case is being reported in which breath holding spells for few seconds were the sole presentation of infantile spasm. The EEG features of the case included typical high voltage spike and slow wave pattern followed by very poor suppression representing modified hypsarrhythmia, a classical feature of infantile spasm. Fast Fourier transformation of hypsarrhythmic spells confirmed the delta dominance with the highest power spectral density of delta waves. The breath holding spells being the sole presentation of infantile spasm makes it an important case clinically due to the possibility of misdiagnosis due to its inconspicuous presentation

Correlation of Human Height with Hand Dimensions: A Study among Medical students

Background: Anthropometry is widely used for Identification of an individual. Height is one of the most important parameters of anthropometry. It is strongly correlated with the individual’s hand dimensions and if either of the measurements are known, the other can be calculated. Aim and Objective: To know correlation between the hand dimensions and Height of an individual and to apply the regression line of height on hand dimension of the person. Methods and Material: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the medical students. Anthropometric indices were recorded after obtaining written consent and institutional approval using standard equipments. Linear regression and Pearson coefficient were calculated to study the correlation and arrive at the equation to calculate Height from Hand length. Results: Age of the study participants who consented for study (150) ranged between 18-24 years.  Mean height was 165.91 cm. Mean right hand length was 17.71 cm and 17.69 cm on left hand. Mean hand width was 7.79 cm on right side and 7.56 cm on left side. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between height and the hand dimensions. Conclusions: There was a statistically significant positive correlation between hand dimensions and height. Forensic investigation, body identification and triage can be facilitated through calculating Height from hand dimensions when only mutilated body remains are received during disasters

Role of local instillation of one percent feracrylum and haemocogulase on wound healing

Background: The introduction of increasingly complex and major surgical procedures during the last 50 years has inevitably been accompanied by greater problems in wound healing. Fortunately, modern surgery is relatively safe, certainly by comparison with situation 50 years ago, but it cannot be said that it is totally devoid of risks or complications, and problems of wound healing are encountered in every surgical specialty. Indeed, in various ways these complication account for a large part of morbidity and mortality of surgical treatment.          The present study has been carried out to evaluate role of local instillation of 1% feracrylum and haemocoagulase on wound healing.  Methods: The present study was carried out in 100 patients in the Department of General Surgery, S.S. Medical College and associated G.M. Hospital and Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa (M.P.), India. The material for the study comprised of randomly selected 100 patients. A thorough clinical examination was done to assess general condition of patients and systemic disorder. Local examination was done to make a surgical diagnosis and associated problem. In case of surgical emergency, on arrival of patient clinical examination was immediately started and history asked during resuscitation of the patient. All relevant procedures were performed before surgery. Appropriate surgical procedures were performed. Suitable local haemostatic was applied. The wound inspected on 3rd, 7th and 14th day of presence of swelling, tenderness, colour change, discharge, scar tissue and changes were recorded.Results: Most of the patients were between 21-30 years and 50 and above. The youngest being 3 years and the eldest being 75 years old. Majority of patients were operated for Perforation Peritonitis (28%) and Hernia (26%). Next common group was Intestinal Obstruction (9%) and Cholecystectomy (7%). Out of 100 cases operated 60 were as planned and rests were as emergency cases. 1% Feracrylum and Haemocoagulase was used in equal number of cases. In 24 cases 1% Feracrylum was instilled subcutaneously in 10 cases instilled at intermuscular level and in 16 cases instilled at both level. In 23 cases Haemocogulase was instilled subcutaneously in 14 cases instilled at intermuscular level and in 13 cases instilled at both level. All cases Skin Wound was closed in Interrupted fashion.Conclusions: Good surgical technique plays key role in post-operative wound healing. The essential of good surgical technique include gentle handling of tissues, meticulous haemostasis, and prevention of dead space in the wound and avoidance of tissue necrosis resulting from excessive use of diathermy or strangulation of tissues by Ligatures. 1% Feracrylum and Haemocoagulase are helpful in decreasing local infection rate by decreasing post-operative capillary oozing.
