Marketing of Organic Food Products at Madurai City

The organic farming sector in developing countries is still diminutive. However, the traditional practice of organic farming by the indigenous farmers is an advantage that would help India to become a global market leader in this sector. India has the potential to emerge as a major exporter of organic produce. Organic products mature without the use of fertilizers, artificial chemicals, and pesticides. The Indian organic food market, although in its nascent stage, has started growing rapidly. Generally, consumers prefer organic food due to safety, human health, and ecological concern. Sometimes it could also be due to attributes like nutrition value, taste, originality and look of organic food. Worldwide trade in organic products is growing incredibly which has prompted experts to project consumption of organic food to be more than 25% of total food consumption by 2020. Universal consumption growth rates over the next 3-5 years will be fairly high (25 – 30%) when compared to most other categories of food. In the last decade, organic food products have been measured to do a healthier business than conventional food products. Thus the expansion of organic agriculture is seen as a part of promising promotion trends. This research reveals the percentage consumption of organic food products and provides suggestions to implement the various marketing strategies adopted by the retailers to sell the products and other factors impacting the preference of the consumers in the various strata of the society

Gravity Data Interpretation in the Northern Edge of the Congo Craton, South-Cameroon

Gravity data in the southern Cameroon are interpreted to better understand the organization of underlying structuresthroughout the northern edge of the Congo craton. The Bouguer anomaly maps of the region are characterized by an elongated trending trending negative gravity anomaly which correspond to a collapsed structure associated with a granitic intrusion beneath the cente center of the region r of the region of the region and limited by fault systems. �e applied 3�D gravity modelling and inversion in order to obtain the 3D density structure of the area. Our result demonstrated that observed gravity anomalies in the region are associated to tectonic structures in the subsurface. The resulting model agrees with the hypothesis of the existence of a major continental collision zone between the Congo Craton and the Pan�African belt. The presence of deep granulites structures in the northern part of the region expresses a continental collision

Interpretação gravimétrica na Borda Norte do Cráton do Congo, Sul de Camarões

Gravity data in the southern Cameroon are interpreted to better understand the organization of underlying structures throughout the northern edge of the Congo craton. The Bouguer anomaly maps of the region are characterized by an elongated SW-NE trending negative gravity anomaly which correspond to a collapsed structure associated with a granitic intrusion beneath the center of the region and limited by fault systems. We applied 3-D gravity modelling and inversion in order to obtain the 3-D density structure of the area. Our result demonstrated that observed gravity anomalies in the region are associated to tectonic structures in the subsurface. The resulting model agrees with the hypothesis of the existence of a major continental collision zone between the Congo Craton and the Pan-African belt. The presence of deep granulites structures in the northern part of the region expresses a continental collision.Um conjunto de dados gravimétricos, provenientes do sul de Camarões, foram interpretados para o melhor entendimento das estruturas em sub superfície na borda norte do Cráton do Congo. Os mapas de anomalia Bouguer desta região foram caracterizados por uma anomalia gravimétrica negativa de direção SW-NE, que corresponde a uma estrutura de colapso associada com uma intrusão granítica, abaixo do centro desta região, e que está limitada por um sistema de falhas. Foram utilizados métodos de modelagem gravimétrica 3 D e inversão, para se obter uma estrutura densa 3-D desta área. Os resultados demonstraram que as anomalias gravimétricas observadas na região estão associadas com estruturas tectônicas em sub superfície. O modelo resultado está em consonância com a hipótese de existência de uma zona de colisão continental principal entre o Cráton do Congo e o Cinturão Pan-Africano. A presença de estruturas granulíticas profundas na borda norte desta área indica uma colisão continental

Automatic Extraction and Geospatial Analysis of Lineaments and their Tectonic Significance in South Cameroon Area using Remote Sensing Techniques and GIS

This study investigates the dominant orientations of lineament features and the relationship between these trends and the spatial orientation of tectonic structures in the transition zone of the Congo craton and the Pan African belt in South Cameroon area. Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS and hill-shaded images, constructed from 30 m-resolution SRTM-DEM data, were used for automatically extracting and mapping geological lineaments. Lineament features were analyzed by means of azimuth frequency and length density distributions. Three major sets of lineaments trending W–E, ENE-WSW and WNW-ESE are identified in the South Cameroon area. These trends are probably related to repeated reactivation of pre-existing crustal structures during Eburnean and Pan-African tectonic episodes. The lineaments were formed under the compressional tectonic stress regimes generated during these tectonic events

Dubinsko kartiranje na temelju gravimetrijskih podataka na području sjevernog ruba Kongo kratona, južni Kamerun

In this work, the subsurface structures in a part of the northern edge of the Congo craton in South Cameroon between the latitudes 2° 30\u27 to 4° 30\u27 N and the longitudes 11° to 13° E, has been estimated by the interpretation of gravity data. For quantitative interpretation of the sources of the anomaly, a 3D density model of the upper crust was designed by means of forward modelling and inversion constrained by surface geology and results from Euler deconvolution and spectral analysis methods. The Bouguer anomaly map of the area is characterized by elongated SW–NE trending negative gravity anomaly which correspond to a collapsed structure associated with a granitic intrusion beneath the center of the region and by various gravity highs associated with an uplift of the Pan-African basement in the north and delimited by a strong gradient in relation with the tectonic boundary between the Congo craton and the Pan-African belt. Our result demonstrated that tectonic structures associated to observed gravity anomalies in the region were put in place during a major continental collision.U ovom radu se pomoću gravimetrijskih podataka procjenjivala struktura kore u dijelu sjevernog ruba kratona Konga u južnom Kamerunu, smještenom između 2° 30\u27 i 4° 30\u27 N te 11° i 13° E. U svrhu kvantitativne interpretacije uzročnika anomalije napravljen je 3D model gustoća gornje kore na temelju modeliranja i inverzije. Rezultati inverzije su ograničeni površinskim geološkim podacima i rezultatima Eulerove dekonvolucije i spektralne analize. Kartu Bouguerovih anomalija istraživanog područja karakterizira izdužena negativna gravimetrijska anomalija pružanja SW–NE, koja je uzrokovana urušenom strukturom povezanom s intruzijom granita u središnjem dijelu područja. Različite pozitivne anomalije povezane su s izdizanjem Panafričke podloge u sjevernom dijelu, a omeđene su velikim gradijentom uzrokovanim tektonskom granicom između kratona Konga i Panafričkog pojasa. Rezultati pokazuju da su tektonske strukture koje uzrokuju opažene gravimetrijske anomalije (na istraživanom području) nastale tijekom kolizije (sudara) kontinenata

Lecturers’ Perception on the Effectiveness of Formative Assessment on Evaluating Grammar Skills among Undergraduates

Grammar can be classified as the most prominent element in the context of English Language. However, grammar has always been a problem among undergraduates. Although they are given the right amount of input on grammar during schooling days, they still have problems in using it because the process of learning grammar does not continue during their tertiary education. Many lecturers find it difficult in making sure undergraduates are able to utilize grammar in a proper manner as English subjects in tertiary education will only last till the end of the first year in many tertiary institutions. It is proposed that formative assessment should be conducted throughout their duration of study in their tertiary institution. This paper highlights the findings from a questionnaire to 20 English lecturers who are currently serving in two private institutions, namely Management & Science University and Kolej MASA. Ten of them are senior lecturers with lecturing experience of more than 5 years and the remaining lecturers with below 5 years. The categories for the questions were built based on lecturers’ understanding on the formative assessment and the needs in understanding grammar in using English. The findings indicate that junior lecturers are keener compare to senior lecturers in terms of using formative assessment in evaluating grammar skills among undergraduates
