Relating the generating functionals in field/antifield formulation through finite field dependent BRST transformation

We study the field/antifield formulation of pure Yang Mills theory in the framework of finite field dependent BRST transformation. We show that the generating functionals corresponding to different solutions of quantum master equation are connected through the finite field dependent BRST transformations. We establish this result with the help of several explicit examples.Comment: Revtex4, 18 pages, No figs, Accepted in Eur. Phys. J

A bound on 6D N=1 supergravities

We prove that there are only finitely many distinct semi-simple gauge groups and matter representations possible in consistent 6D chiral (1,0) supergravity theories with one tensor multiplet. The proof relies only on features of the low-energy theory; the consistency conditions we impose are that anomalies should be cancelled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism, and that the kinetic terms for all fields should be positive in some region of moduli space. This result does not apply to the case of the non-chiral (1,1) supergravities, which are not constrained by anomaly cancellation.Comment: 23 pages, no figures; two paragraphs added to the proof in Appendix A covering the SU(2) and SU(3) case, other minor correction

Seasonal variation of air quality index and assessment

Different methods have been designed to calculate the air quality index in form of mathematical formula. But the formula designed by Central Pollution Control Board in 2014 is more robust to find out the air quality category. The index has been calculated based upon four parameters like particulate matters (PM10, PM2.5), sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide. The study area has affected by different sources like point, line and volume. Presence of different industries and mining activities polluting the natural environment of nearby areas more, although the industries taking mitigative measures proactively. In the present research, monitoring of ambient air quality has been carried out for a period from March 2013 to February 2016 for three years. It has been revealed from the study that the air quality status of the area has been declining from 2013 to 2016 i.e. 78.9 to 157.8 in summer, 49.4 to 84.3 in monsoon and 86.9 to 183.9 in winter season. It has also been found that, PM10 and PM2.5 were responsible for maximum sub-index as well as air quality index. During the study period 2015-16, out of the eight stations most comes under moderately polluted category especially in winter season followed by summer season. Statistical and Duncan’s multiple range test has been applied to the results with two-way and one-way analysis of variance based on different seasons and stations. In two-way analysis of variance, F-value was computed to be 30.105 based on seasons and stations and one-way analysis of variance test shows the F-values as 186.07 and 18.97 based on seasons and stations respectively which is found to be significant (P<0.01).The present research is important to assess the environmental quality of a mining- industrial complex area and can be a reference for similar study in other areas

Selection of elite seedling clones of mango (Mangifera indica L.) exposed by phylogenetic relationship and morpho-taxonomic traits

Almost all the current commercial mango cultivars in India are the result of selection from the natural seedling population and majority of them have been selected by the farmers.The conventional breeding system with traditional knowledge is evolving more and more towards preservation of genetic diversity. In Pusa site of the UNEP/GEF sponsored project in the Bihar state of India, many mango seedlings are found growing in the orchards as well as in the backyards. Mango being a highly cross-pollinated fruit crop exhibits a lot of variability in morpho-physico-chemical traits of fruits in these seedling plants. For selection of the elite seedling genotypes, farmers play an important role and with the help of the breeder they can pave the way for maintaining the local germplasm. Hence, in order to study the genetic variability among mango seedlings and to select elite mango genotypes and to conserve them, a survey was conducted in the four project communities and the surrounding villages. A total of 74 seedling types of mango were characterized using morpho-taxonomic parameters. Physico-chemical characterization of fruit samples revealed the existence of a great variability in the seedling mango plants, which not only contributes to biological diversity, but can also be used for crop improvement or for varietal selection. Based on this physico-chemical characterization, principal component and cluster analysis and grouping of seedling clones on the basis of possession of desirable characters by them, six seedling clones, having the majority of desirable fruit characteristics were selected. These selected clones will definitely broaden the genetic base of mango in the Pusa site as well offer the scope for choice of selection of varieties by the farmers and ultimately the conservation of the valuable germplasm

Efficiency factors for bottle-shaped struts in deep beams Made of recycled coarse aggregate

Based on reanalysis of the shear test results of reinforced concrete beam specimens made of recycled coarse aggregates reported in the literature, this study points out that the strut-and-tie modeling (STM) provisions developed for natural coarse aggregate concrete can be applied to recycled coarse aggregate concrete with no reduction in the efficiency factors of bottle-shaped struts. The experimentally obtained strut efficiency factors in beams made of recycled coarse aggregate concrete were comparable to those in beams made of natural coarse aggregate concrete. The study also highlights lack of conservatism in the STM provisions of current design codes irrespective of the type of coarse aggregates used

EFFECT OF RASONADI KWATH IN THE MANAGEMENT OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: A REVIEW

Rheumatoid arthritis is a most common persistent inflammatory arthritis of unknown etiology marked by symmetric, peripheral poly arthritis and often result in joint damage and physical disability. Arthritis is always associated with arthralgia. It is 1.0-1.5% with a female to male ratio of 3:1 functional capacity decrease most rapidly at the beginning of disease and the function state of patients in their first year. R.A. Etiology like Immunological factor (HLA-DRB1), Hormonal factor, contraceptives pills, is also associated with a worse disease outcome in R.A. Particularly in genetically predisposed individuals, some environmental antigen trigger, probably a virus, stimulates the production of autoantibodies (IgM rheumatoid factor) against the body, own IgM immunologlobins. This process can become self perpetuating. The prominent feature is the formation of immune complexes. within the joint resulting from tissue damage. These complex activate complement and attract neutrophils. Phagocytosis of immune complexes by neutrophils leads to release of chemical mediators of inflammation. Continued inflammation stimulates the formation of a proliferative synovitis. This hypertrophic granulation tissue is called pannus. This process is responsible for the causing joint erosions. In Ayurveda it is clinically correlated with Aamvata. According to Bhavprakash Beautiful composition is given in Aamvata chikitsa 26th chapter Rasonadi Kwath. Conceptually it is play very effective role because of its Sothhara, Vedna-sthapana, Kapha-vatashamak, Deepan-Pachan, Anuloman, Shoola-prashman, and also Shunthi is Uttam Aama pachak. The aim of this article is to provide a management for RA by Rasonadi Kwath

Bianchi type II models in the presence of perfect fluid and anisotropic dark energy

Spatially homogeneous but totally anisotropic and non-flat Bianchi type II cosmological model has been studied in general relativity in the presence of two minimally interacting fluids; a perfect fluid as the matter fluid and a hypothetical anisotropic fluid as the dark energy fluid. The Einstein's field equations have been solved by applying two kinematical ans\"{a}tze: we have assumed the variation law for the mean Hubble parameter that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter, and one of the components of the shear tensor has been considered proportional to the mean Hubble parameter. We have particularly dwelled on the accelerating models with non-divergent expansion anisotropy as the Universe evolves. Yielding anisotropic pressure, the fluid we consider in the context of dark energy, can produce results that can be produced in the presence of isotropic fluid in accordance with the \Lambda CDM cosmology. However, the derived model gives additional opportunities by being able to allow kinematics that cannot be produced in the presence of fluids that yield only isotropic pressure. We have obtained well behaving cases where the anisotropy of the expansion and the anisotropy of the fluid converge to finite values (include zero) in the late Universe. We have also showed that although the metric we consider is totally anisotropic, the anisotropy of the dark energy is constrained to be axially symmetric, as long as the overall energy momentum tensor possesses zero shear stress.Comment: 15 pages; 5 figures; matches the version published in The European Physical Journal Plu

CAPITAL BUDGETING DECISION – A FUZZY GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH

This paper  has provided a critical review of the Capital Budgeting and an attempt to re counsel it with the reality that faces the financial executive efficiencies of model for capital budgeting which can be justified only in relation to the earning for objectives and goals. If the objective is given the top priority by management it minimizes the next year’s earnings per share, it may be fool hardy indeed to drop a capital budgeting technique that attempts to minimize the net present value of stream of future cash flows. Because of the inherent differences between accounting income and incremental cash flow would be only by coincidence that an optimal decision would result. The responsibility vests heavily on the shoulders of top management to refine clearly and specifically, what the objectives of the capital budgeting system should be without definition of measure of its effectiveness and one model appears just as acceptable as the other one
