Integrated nutrient management to enhance biochemical resistance in rice against sheath blight

Application of potassium either as recommended, deficient or excess dose, enhanced the level of phenolic contents, increased incubation period and thereby decreased the sheath blight severity. Application of nitrogen and phosphorous, either as recommended, deficient or excess dose resulted in reduction of phenolic content, shorter incubation period and thereby increasing the sheath blight severity. Recommended sulphur application, enhanced the phenolic contents, increased incubation period and thereby decreased the sheath blight severity. Recommended zinc application resulted in enhancement of phenolic contents, longer incubation period and thereby decreasing the sheath blight severity. Excess application of zinc, reduced the phenolic contents and incubation period but the severity of sheath blight was also lowered down. Recommended iron application (1.5 kg./ha) enhanced the phenolic contents and incubation period with a decreased level of sheath blight severity. Deficient and excess doses of iron also showed the similar trend of effect on phenolics, incubation period and sheath blight severity

Ultra Wide Band Antenna with Defected Ground Plane and Microstrip Line Fed for Wi-Fi/Wi-Max/DCS/5G/Satellite Communications

In this chapter, ultra wide band angular ring antenna has been proposed for wireless applications. It has been observed that antenna resonate from 2.9 to 13.1 GHz which has 10.2 GHz bandwidth. Further, it is observed that antenna has nearly omni-directional radiation pattern for E and H-plane at 3.5, 5.8, and 8.5 GHz. The theoretical analysis of the proposed has been done using circuit theory analysis. It was also found using simulation that antenna has good input and output response of 0.2 ns. Proposed antenna measured, simulated, and theoretical results matches for antenna characteristics, i.e., reflection coefficient and radiation pattern. Bandwidth of antenna lies between 2.9 and 13.1 GHz, so this antenna is suitable for Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, digital communication system (DCS), satellite communication, and 5G applications

Relationship of susceptibility and growth stages of plant for development of epidemic of sheath blight in rice

The present paper deals with most susceptible growth stage of rice with different farms and quantitiy of inoculum for development of sheath blight of rice by Rhizoctonia solani.Among seven different growth stages of rice crop i.e. seedling, initial tillering, maximum tillering, boot leaf, panicle emergence, flowering and dough stage, the flowering stage was found to be most susceptible and highly prone for sheath blight development, while seedling stage was found to be least susceptible and with low proneness for disease development. Disease severity, number and length of lesions get increased with the increasing crop growth stages up to flowering stage and thereafter disease severity decreases with the increases in further growth stages of rice plant. Among four different growth stages of the pathogen (inoculum capacity) i.e. five days old mycelium, seven days old mycelium, milky sclerotial stage and mature sclerotial stage which were inoculated at maximum tillering stage of rice plants, five days old mycelial inoculum was found to be most virulent. Disease severity decreased and incubation period increased with further ageing of inoculum. Among five different amount of inoculum (inoculum density) i.e. 0.20 mg, 5.50 mg, 6.00 mg, 7.00 mg and 8.00 mg of sclerotial inoculum, which were inoculated at maximum tillering stage of rice plants, highest disease severity and minimum incubation period was observed with 8.00 mg amount of sclerotial inoculum. Whereas, least disease severity and longest incubation period was observed when inoculation was done with 0.2 mg of sclerotial inoculum

Anaemia in acute coronary syndrome patients: a study from rural tertiary care centre of India

Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand, and the presence of anaemia further potentiates this imbalance. The burden of anaemia in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is significant. Anaemia has the potential to worsen myocardial ischemic insult by decreasing the oxygen content of the blood supplied to the jeopardized myocardium.Methods: A total of 148 patients with ACS were recruited in the study from October 2016 to December 2017 in Medicine and Cardiology Department of UPUMS Saifai, India. All patients were subjected to a detailed history and thorough clinical examination and investigations after obtaining informed consent. Patient having any other diseases known to cause anaemia were excluded.Results: Mean age of patients was 58.5 years. 72.97% were vegetarian and 27.03% were non-vegetarian. Most common morphological type of anaemia was dimorphic anaemia followed by macrocytic and microcytic hypochromic respectively. Iron deficiency anaemia was most common type of anaemia followed by vitamin B12 deficiency and mixed (Iron and vitamin B12 deficiency). 45.28% anaemic patients had no symptoms of blood loss. Most common symptom of blood loss was bleeding per rectum followed by malena. Severity of acute coronary syndrome was more in subjects having anaemia which was evident by higher incidence of anaemia in subjects having ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The incidence of anaemia was low in case of Non ST elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and Unstable angina (UA). The results of the present study have been compared to those from India.Conclusions: Higher incidence of anaemia was reported in subjects having acute coronary syndrome. Incidence of anaemia in STEMI patients was greater than NSTEMI and unstable angina patients. Severe form of acute coronary syndrome i.e. STEMI was associated with higher incidence of anaemia.

Rotor Fault Study of an Induction Motor using Fuzzy Controller

Quality control is applied in production process. The good condition of electrical machines can be obtained by using diagnostic. There are lots of methods that can be used for diagnostics of electrical machine. In the literature, popular methods are based on a study of electrical signals. This project work proposes a novel automated practical implementation for non contiguous rotor side broken bars detection and diagnosis in induction motors. In this work a method for detection and diagnosis of rotor side broken bars is proposed based on the spectral analysis via fast Fourier transform (FFT) and classification of the spectral response based on fuzzy controlled identifier. For the fault diagnosis objective, two features are pick out from the spectrum of the stator current, 1st is the amplitude of the harmonics representing the broken bars defect 2sf (where s is the slip and f is the fundamental harmonics) and the second is the dc value. By using these obtained parameters a fuzzy identifier is proposed to identify the number of broken bars. For the designing of the proposed fuzzy identifier these two parameters will be used as inputs where the decision about the state of rotor will be made. After the implementation of the proposed work it is expected that the proposed technique will able to efficiently detect the number of broken bars at rotor side.

R.W. EMERSON HAS MADE THE BHAGAVAD GITA AND VEDIC THOUGHT AN INTEGRAL PART AND FOUNDATION OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY AND HOW BRAZIL STANDS AS AN ASSET TO THE WORLD.

R.W. Emerson was heavily influenced by The Bhagavad Gita. The highest in Western civilization is moving on the path delineated by the Great philosopher, RW Emerson.  Thus it is important for all to understand his thoughts for success not only in the Western Civilization but also throughout the world.  In fact R.W. Emerson has made the Bhagavad Gita and Vedic thought an integral part and foundation of Western philosophy. A prominent problem of Brazil today is the high, unequal distribution of wealth and income, one of the most extreme in the world and also a high level of poverty, these are due to history of colonialism and these are rightly public issues which are being addressed. Amerindians and Africans as slaves faced inhuman, harsh, cruel work conditions at many times. Slavery was abolished in Brazil due to internal developments and also due to developments in the Western world. The Whites in Brazil made great contribution to art, business, science, academics, sport, entrepreneurship and all other fields creating jobs for all. Upliftment of Blacks and Amerindians is done by Brazilian Government. Brazil is an asset to the world and to developing countries in particular.
