Modelling Ground-Foundation Interactions

Geotechnical practice deals with designing foundations and earth structures. Structure – Foundation –\ud Grou nd interaction is a unique field or topic that concerns both structural and geotechnical engineers. Most geotechnical problems are very sensitive to foundation geometry (length, diameter, spacing), flexural stiffness etc. Even basic parameters such as bearing capacity of shallow foundations, ultimate axial and lateral load capacities of deep/pile foundations, are influenced by the foundation characteristics. More importantly, the serviceability criterion can be satisfied only by proper and rational estimates of structure – found ation – ground interactions. The paper summarizes modelling approaches for foundation – ground interactions, a leaning instability approach for tall structures, and analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced foundation beds

Evaluation of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) varieties in high altitude and tribal zone of Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh

The yield performance and simple association between yield and its components were studied in eight varieties of ginger during kharif 2007 and 2008. The variety Suprabha was taller and recorded more number of leaves, tillers plant-1 and number of finger rhizomes plant-1. It produced significantly more fresh rhizome yield of 21.71 t ha-1 than all the other the varieties tested. Among the varieties Chintapalli local produced more number of mother rhizomes plant-1. Number of tillers plant-1, number of mother and finger rhizomes plant-1 and fresh rhizome yield showed high GCV, PCV, heritability and genetic advance as per cent mean. The simple correlation studies indicated that number of tillers plant-1, number of mother and finger rhizomes plant-1 recorded highly significant association with yield. &nbsp

Synthesis, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of 4-(substituted benzylamino)-5-substituted phenyl-3-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives

A novel series of 4-(substituted benzylamino)-5-substituted phenyl-3-amino-1, 2, 4-triazole derivatives were synthesized by reaction of 5-substituted phenyl-3,4-diamino-1,2,4-triazole with different aromatic aldehydes. The structures of the compounds were synthesized and characterised by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, Mass and IR Spectra. The title compounds were investigated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities using carrageenan induced rat paw edema and acetic induced writhing test, respectively. All the test compounds exhibited significant activity, compounds IVg, IVh and IVb showed more potent anti-inflammatory activity when compared with standard (Ibuprofen). All the test compounds were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced writhings induced by the acetic acid in mice.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire

Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficient analysis in turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)

Eight turmeric genotypes were raised in a randomized block design to study the variability, heritability with genetic advance, correlation, direct and indirect effects of characters on rhizome yield for a period of four year. Variability accompanied by higher values for genetic coefficient of variation was recorded for rhizome yield. Heritability and genetic advance were high for rhizome yield and number of tillers per plant. In general, genotypic correlations were higher than phenotypic correlations for all the characters studied. Rhizome yield was positively and significantly correlated with plant height, number of tillers plant-1 and number of leaves plant-1. Number of tillers plant-1 followed by plant height exerted the highest positive direct effect on rhizome yield, which indicated that selection for these characters would directly improve the yield in turmeric. &nbsp

Probiotic Potential of Sorghum and Pearl Millet of The Semi-arid Tropics

Cereals such as rice and wheat are the predominant staple food for millions across the world that lead not only to an array of emerging life style diseases but also challenges human health and nutrition. Hence, there is an urgent need for identifying and recommending diversity of other cereals which can enhance the nutrition of the mal-nourished population of the world. Two of ICRISAT’s mandate crops, sorghum and pearl millet, can serve this purpose as these can be the source of prebiotics (Total dietary fiber, resistant starch, total oligosaccharides, (3-glucan, etc.) for functional food.The main objective of the present investigation is to understand the probiotic potential of sorghum and pearl millet which is grown extensively in the Semi-Arid Tropics of the world

Structural Properties of Co2+ Ion Doped Calcium Cadmium Phosphate Hydrate Nanophosphor

Inorganic nanophosphor materials have captivated the worldwide attention into the field of solid-state lighting emission displays, plasma display panels, light-emitting diodes, IR quantum counters, scintillation, etc. Nanotechnology is the foremost superior in the development of phosphors with definite size and shape. Alkali and alkaline earth phosphates are promising candidates for the inorganic phosphor materials. Manufacturing of nano-inorganic materials gained much interest due to their advance lighting applications. In this work, novel Co2+ doped Calcium Cadmium Phosphate hydrate nanophosphor (CaCdPH: Co2+) was synthesized by a traditional solid-state reaction technique. The synthesized sample was characterized by Powder XRD, SEM equipped with EDX and FTIR techniques. The hexagonal phase of the prepared CaCdPH: Co2+sample was confirmed by X-ray diffraction results, and the average crystallite size was evaluated. FTIR demonstrated the formation of vibrational modes ascribed to phosphate molecules and other hydroxyl groups. The morphologies of the CaCdPH: Co2+ nanophosphor was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. © 2020 Author(s).One of the authors, T.
