    One of the major cause of eye strain and other problems caused while watching video displays is the relative illumination between screen and its surrounding. This can be overcome by adjusting the brightness of screen with respect to surrounding light. The display systems with the human eye features like automatic intensity control under varying background luminance conditions add more challenge to design of display systems. The Adaptive Intensity Control can be achieved by varying the display intensity according to the background intensity level taking into account the comfort level of the user. In this paper, various parameters important for automatic intensity control design have been discussed and a new methodology based on look up table generated using experimental values has been devised by which the display intensity can be adaptively varied maintaining an adequate contrast ratio in real time mode. In this paper, Signal Processor based adaptive display intensity control of display intensity has been proposed

    we have expressed the Gibbs free energy for CeN compound as a function of pressure and charge transfer though improved interaction potential model (IIPM). The lattice energy in it has been represented by an IIPM consisting of the long range coulomb interaction, three body interaction, polarizability effect and overlap repulsive interaction effective up to the second neighbour ions. Using this approach high pressure phase transition phenomena in CeN have been explored. The phase transition pressure, volume collapse and elastic properties for CeN predicted from this approach are found to be the experimental data in future. This shows that the inclusion of three body interaction effects and polarizability effects makes the present model suitable for high pressure studies. Moreover, the elastic properties of CeN are also investigated. Keywords: Rare earth compounds, Semiconductor, Phase transition, High pressure, Elastic propertie

    12 p.International audienceIn India, urban water bodies commonly become cesspools due to lack of sanitation facilities. Delhi is continually urbanizing at a rapid pace that has affected the condition of water bodies. To identify water resource available within Delhi, an extensive field survey and remote sensing based mapping was carried out in Delhi to map all the water bodies including groundwater recharge sites - 44 lakes and 355 village ponds. Hauz Khas, a historical tank and important recharge site, was restored by sourcing secondary treated wastewater and further improving water quality through ecological methods including bio-remediation that are cost effective. Water quality, water recharge and avian diversity data was collected to record improvement. The water table rose by more than 6 m, biological oxygen demand decreased from 50 to 15 mg/L in 21 days, the number of resident and migratory birds increased with two resident water bird species breeding in the lake

    The present study was an attempt to analyze the adolescent guidance needs in one of the most trouble-torn city of Imphal, India and to identify if they vary according to their education streams. Out of the 60 schools situated in Imphal district, Manipur, India, 30 schools were randomly drawn for the study. Further, from these list, 25% of the total adolescents studying in XI standard were randomly selected for the present study making a total of 651 respondents. The sample comprised 66.51% respondents from Science stream and 33.49% from Arts stream. A self-structured questionnaire was used to study the socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the respondents as well as respondents’ future plans and general ideas on guidance. Guidance needs were assessed in five areas viz. Physical, Social, Psychological, Educational and Vocational areas using Guidance Needs Inventory developed by Dr. J.S. Grewal. The results revealed that guidance needs of the adolescents of Imphal, India didn’t vary according to their education stream. All the adolescents of the region, irrespective of their education stream, reflected extreme need for guidance in all the domains of growth and development.. The need for guidance was most preferred in vocational domain followed by educational domain. Least need for guidance was expressed in psychological domain

    A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF TANDULIYAKA IN GARBHINI PANDU W.S.R. TO ANAEMIA DURING PREGNANCY

    Under-nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are widespread and affect mainly women and children. To address these problems, increased consumption of leafy vegetables is promoted as sources of both micronutrients and bio-active compounds. Widely promoted leafy vegetables include Amaranthus sp., Species of this genus are used as pseudo-cereals in Europe and America, and are mostly planted as vegetables in Africa. Amaranthus has been rediscovered as a promising food crop mainly due to its resistance to heat, drought, diseases and pests, and the high nutritional value of both seeds and leaves. Leaves are rich in proteins and micronutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin A. Pregnancy induces some physiological changes that often confuse the diagnosis of several disorders and the assessment of the suitable treatments. This is especially true in case of anaemia. The World Health Organization estimates that 58% of pregnant women in developing countries are anaemic. The two most common causes of anaemia during pregnancy are iron deficiency and acute blood loss. Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the world that affects particularly women of reproductive age. In the present study Amaranthus capsules showed significant improvement in terms of subjective parameters like Panduta, Hrid-drava, Shrama, Swasa, Aruchi, as well as objective parameters like Hb%, MCV, PCV, RBC etc. This study has revealed that Amaranthus capsules provided statistically significant improvement in the cardinal features of Garbhinipandu as well as it has showed good effect on jatharagni and nourishment of pregnant women and foetus without any side-effects, due to its properties like deepana, pachana, and high nutritional value

    Soil fungi are critical components of microbial communities in terrestrial ecosystems, where they play essential roles in many aspects of ecosystem development, functioning and stability. Leaf litter fungal decomposers, in particular, play an important biotic role in recycling ecosystem nutrients (Schneider et al., 2012).The extreme conditions due to changing climate of any ecosystems restrict primary producers to form symbiotic relationships that aid their establishment and survival (Khidir et al., 2010). Root exudates are known to attract and maintain symbiotic fungal communities that form mutualistic associations with plant roots and colonize surrounding soil. Studies suggested a strong correlation between fungal and plant diversity, due to fungal host specificity (Peay et al., 2013). The C available to soil microorganisms is derived from plant photosynthesis in term of aboveground input from litter and belowground input through the root. Symbiotic fungi received C directly from host roots while saprophytic fungi derive carbon from the decomposition of dead plant material. Litter fall provides substrate for leaf litter fungi such as saprotrophs, endophytes, parasitic and pathogenic fungi. Soil fungal diversity and composition affected by a wide range of biotic and abiotic factors (Hawkes et al., 2011) but determinates of their diversity and functional interactions are not well known. Understanding the response of fungal communities to different plant species leaf litter and their stage of decomposition will contribute to our understanding of how these influence fungal diversity and dynamism in an ecosystem which ultimately helps in nutrient cycling and long term sustaining the system. In this study, we evaluated the effects of plant litter diversity on fungal successive diversity and dynamics in Bauhinia based silvipasture system
