PHARMACOGNOSTIC STUDIES OF ORGANICALLY CULTIVATED PANACEA HERB CYNODON DACTYLON (L.) PERS.

This research paper knuckles down the organic agripractices of the Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.. It is a powerhouse house of multiple macro and micro nutrients including protein, carbohydrates, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and vitamins. Organic cultivation practices enhances these secondary metabolites biosynthesis resulting in therapeutic potential of the crude drug. The field experimental work was conducted from Nov, 2018 up to Mar, 2019 in Department of Medicinal Plants Sciences at Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar (U.K), India. Cynodon herb belonging to Poaceae family was organically cultivated in our herbal field laboratory (no. 4) by planting slips line to line in experimental blocks. Physical parameters were studied including total Ash (9.9 % w/w), Acid-insoluble Ash (5.8 % w/w), Water-soluble Ash (2.4 % w/w), Alcohol soluble extractive (39.2 % w/w) and Water soluble extractive (39.8 % w/w). Based upon results, it is concluded that secondary metabolites are highly biosynthesized during organic agri practices. Cynodon is credited as panacea herb due to its vital therapeutic benefits in curing multiple acute and chronic diseases or disorders including erysipelas, depigmentation, hysteroepilepsy, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and menstrual irregularities

Electrostatics of silicon nano transistor

Nano Transistor represents a unique system for exploring physical phenomena pertaining to charge transport at the nano scale and is expected to play a critical role in future evolution of electronic and optoelectronic devices. This paper summarizes some of the essential electrostatics of nano Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field effect Transistor (MOSFET) and their electrical properties. Though the general focus of this work is on surface potential yet the first part presents a brief discussion of the independence of charge at the top of the barrier in the channel of MOS Transistor on Drain voltage. The quantum capacitance is discussed at length. The superposition theorem is used, thereafter, to obtain an expression for self consistent potential in the channel. Finally the I-V characteristics of the device are explored using Landauer formalism. The simulated results for a device are observed to represent the realistic behaviour of the device.

A SWOT Analysis of the Food Security System in India

In this paper, we are showing that famines and mass hunger deaths were no longer a problem in independent India. This was owing to an increase in agricultural productivity as a result of the focus placed on agriculture, particularly cereal production, since the first Five Year Plan. We currently produce 105 million tonnes of rice and 94 million tonnes of wheat each year, which is sufficient to meet the needs of our enormous population while also successfully regulating the country's Public Distribution System. Food grains are distributed at subsidised rates to various strata of society under the PDS

Economic feasibility of summer squash cultivation using low tunnel and black plastic mulch under tarai condition of Uttarakhand

A study was undertaken to investigate the economic feasibility of summer squash cultivation in tarai region of Uttarakhand during winter - spring season of 2013-14 and 2014-15. Among three transplanting dates, summer squash transplanted on 15th January was found to be best with respect to plant growth characters, total yield (373.50 q ha-1), net return (`2,46,542 ha-1) and benefit – cost ratio (2.72). Similarly, out of three low cost protected techniques evaluated along with control, low tunnel with black plastic mulch was observed as best with respect to plant growth characters, total yield (451.67 q ha-1). Whereas, the maximum net return (`2,87,628 ha-1) and benefit - cost ratio (3.58) was obtained in black plastic mulched plots. Out of 12 treatment combinations, summer squash planted on 15th January under black polyethylene mulch is most profitable in terms of getting maximum benefit - cost ratio of 4.41. Hence, the same is recommended for commercial cultivation of summer squash at farmer’s field under tarai condition of Uttarakhand

DIURNAL VARIATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF COORDINATIVE ABILITIES OF SOCCER PLAYERS

The purpose of the study was to investigate the “Diurnal variation on the performance of coordinative abilities of soccer players”. The study was conducted on 50 male soccer players of Punjabi University Patiala, Punjab India, and age ranging from 17 to 24 years. The subjects were selected from soccer match practice group. The data was collected by administration of Coordinative Ability test as suggested by Peter Hirtz (1985). The subjects were tested two times (one time in morning (between 7 AM to 9 AM) and one time in evening (between 5 PM to 7 PM)). The Coordinative abilities includes Orientation ability, Differentiation Ability, Reaction Ability, Balance Ability and Rhythm Ability which was measured by Numbered Medicine Ball Run Test, Backward Medicine Ball Throw Test, Ball Reaction Exercise Test, Long Nose Balance Test and Sprint at the given Rhythm Test respectively. It was hypothesized that diurnal variation would significantly affect the performance of the subjects on Coordinative abilities. The data collected on Coordinative abilities was analysed by dependent “t” test. The level of significance for testing the hypothesis was set at 0.05 level of confidence. The mean values of Orientation ability in morning and evening were 7.44 seconds and 7.30 seconds respectively. Significant time of day (diurnal variation) effect was found for the Orientation ability (tcal=2.42>ttab=1.99). The mean values of Reaction ability in morning and evening were 166.60 Centimetres and 160.70 Centimetres respectively. Significant time of day (diurnal variation) effect was found for the Reaction Ability (tcal=4.56>ttab=1.99). The mean values of Balance ability in morning and evening were 7.26 seconds and 7.01 seconds respectively. Significant time of day (diurnal variation) effect was found for the Balance Ability (tcal=4.15>ttab=1.99). The mean values of Rhythm ability in morning and evening were 0.51 seconds and 0.44 seconds respectively. Rhythm Ability (tcal=5.50>ttab=1.99) shown significant time of day (diurnal variation) effect among soccer players whereas the mean values of differentiation ability in morning and evening were 15.14 seconds and 14.80 respectively. No significant time of day (diurnal variation) effect was found for differentiation ability (tcal=1.04<ttab=1.99) among soccer players. The result showed that diurnal variation significantly affect the performance of soccer players on Orientation ability, Reaction Ability, Balance Ability and Rhythm Ability  whereas differentiation ability showed insignificant diurnal effect among soccer players.  Article visualizations

A Framework for Delineating the Emotive Character of Motorbikes in India

This paper proposes an approach to investigate the styling concept of motorbikes by establishing a relationship between its evaluative aesthetic properties and associated emotions. A framework is delineated in form of emotive words and representational image boards to map the emotive character of motorbikes. The framework forms the basis for investigating the emotional differentiation in the social structure of biking in India. The findings give insights on the emotive character of various motorbikes representing different emotional needs. The usability and efficacy of the framework was tested among styling designers and design students

Critical analysis of classification techniques for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data

Full polarimetry SAR data known as PolSAR contains information in terms of microwave energy backscattered through different scattering mechanisms (surface-, double- and volume-scattering) by the targets on the surface of land. These scattering mechanisms information is different in different features. Similarly, different classifiers have different capabilities as far as identification of the targets corresponding to these scattering mechanisms. Extraction of different features and the role of classifier are important for the purpose of identifying which feature is the most suitable with which classifier for land cover classification. Selection of suitable features and their combinations have always been an active area of research for the development of advanced classification algorithms. Fully polarimetric data has its own advantages because its different channels give special scattering feature for various land cover. Therefore, first hand statistics HH, HV and VV of PolSAR data along with their ratios and linear combinations should be investigated for exploring their importance vis-à-vis relevant classifier for land management at the global scale. It has been observed that individually first hand statistics yield low accuracies. And their ratios are also not improving the results either. However, improved accuracies are achieved when these natural features are stacked together

Effect of different levels of citric acid on quality and storage stability of sugar and jaggery based papaya (Carica papaya L.) fruit bar

A study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different level of citric acid and packaging material on physico chemical quality, sensory quality and shelf life of developed papaya fruit bar .The study revealed that the moisture content (19.06% to 16.95% in PET jars – 19.06% to 17.06% in glass jars), TSS (64.17 to 69.30°Brix in PETjars and 64.17 to 69.46°Brix in glass jars), Vitamin- C (55.30 to 45.80 mg/100mg in PET jars and 55.30 to 46.75 mg/100mg in glass jars) and total plate count decreased with increasing the level of citric acid from 0.5 to 1.0% after 90 days of storage in. During storage there was a reduction in moisture content, pH and vitamin-C, where as TSS (total soluble solids), optical density and total plate count increased during storage. No microbial detection in developed fresh fruit bar was found. The organoleptic score of the bar samples in glass jars at 0.75% citric acid level was found to be higher followed by samples packed in PET jars and the developed fruit bar was well acceptable even after 90 days of storage. The result indicated that sugar50+jaggery50 at 0.75 percent citric acid level gave better products after 90 days of storage followed by sugar50+jaggery50 at 0.5 percent and sugar50+jaggery50 at 1.0 percent

Shadow of operators on frames

Aldroubi introduced two methods for generating frames of a Hilbert space H. In one of his method, one approach is to construct frames for H which are images of a given frame for H under T ∈ B (H, H), a collection of all bounded linear operator on H. The other method uses bounded linear operator on ` 2 to generate frames of H. In this paper, we discuss construction of the retro Banach frames in Hilbert spaces which are images of given frames under bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces. It is proved that the compact operators generated by a certain type of a retro Banach frame can construct a retro Banach frame for the underlying space. Finally, we discuss a linear block associated with a Schauder frame in Banach spaces.Publisher's Versio
