Various Ethno Medicinal Plants used for treatment of Reproductive Health Problems by Morans of Tinsukia district, Assam

The present paper makes an attempt to focus on the traditional medicines used by Moran community of Tinsukia district of Assam to cure various reproductive health problems. A total of 32 plants belonging to 24 families are being used as traditional medicines were documented and identified. The Bej, Kabiraj and traditional practitioners have good knowledge about the indigenous medicines usually treat the patient. Various plant parts like stem, root, leaf, bark, seed are used for the preparation of medicines. There is an urgent need on conservation of ethnomedicinal plants and pharmacological analysis for safer and convenient use for betterment of mankind

Investigation of efficient synthesis of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives under solvent-free grinding method

In these studies, we had observed polyaniline (PANI) supported p-toluene sulfonic acid (TsOH) and FeCl3 (PANI- TsOH, PANI-FeCl3) as excellent reusable solid acid catalysts for the synthesis of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives 4(a-g) under solvent-free grinding method at mild conditions. Additionally, in the same optimized condition ferric nitrate nonahydrate also acted as (non-reusable) very reactive inexpensive Lewis acid catalyst. The ferric nitrate nonahydrate lost its activity in the form of Clayfen (Clay-supported ferric nitrate) catalyst

NEW SELF-GRAVITATIONAL OSCILLATORY EIGENMODE PATTERNS OF SOLAR PLASMA WITH BOLTZMANN-DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONS

We attempt to propose a simplified theoretical model to study new stationary states of the nonlinear self-gravitational fluctuation dynamics of the solar plasma with the zero-inertia electrons against weakly nonlinear perturbation within the framework of the Jeans homogenization assumption. This is based on a bi-fluidic approach with the thermal electrons treated as the Boltzmann-distributed species. The joint effects of space-charge polarization, sheath-formation, and bi-layer plasma-boundary interaction through gravito-electrostatic interplay in a spherically symmetric geometry are considered. Applying a standard multiscale technique, a unique form of extended Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (e-KdVB) equation with a new selfconsistent linear sink is methodologically developed. The origin of the unique sink lies in the spherically symmetric self-gravity contributed by the massive ions. A numerical shape-analysis with multi-parameter variation depicts the co-existence of two distinct classes of new eigenmode excitations. The fluctuation patterns evolve as oscillatory soliton-like and oscillatory shock-like patterns in judicious plasma conditions under the adiabatic electronic response. Their oscillations, arising due to resonant and non-resonant coupling phenomena with the background spectral components, get gradually damped out due to the sink. This scientific study allows us to conjecture that the model supports self-gravitational solitary (shock) waves having tails (fronts) composed of a sequence of slightly overlapping solitons with smoothly varying characteristic parameters. Our results are compared with the earlier theoretical model predictions, on-board multispace satellite data and spacecraft observations highlighting tentative future scopes

SOUVENIR ALL INDIA COORDINATED RESEARCH PROJECT FOR DRYLAND AGRICULTURE CRIDA, HYDERABAD XV Working Group Meeting (24th-27th December, 2015) BISWANATH CHARIALI CENTRE ASSAM AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY

Not AvailableIt is my proud privilege to express heartfelt thanks to the entire AICRPDA family for giving me the responsibility of bringing out a souvenir to commemorate the occasion of XVth Working Group Meeting of AICRPDA at Biswanath Chariali Centre, BNCA, Assam Agricultural University. I, on behalf of the editorial board do extend a warm welcome to all delegate scientists and dignitaries coming from different parts of our country to this holy historic place of Biswanath, popularly known as ‘Gupta Kanshi’. Holding such a mega event of national importance for the first time at a place like Biswanath Chariali at the far east of the country amidst the bounty of natural resources and an area being almost entirely rainfed is of great significance. In view of the aim of realizing the dream of another green revolution that is envisaged from the rainfed areas of the country particularly the eastern and north eastern parts; this workshop is expected to march ahead further for achieving the goal. The vast ‘Gene’ resource of the North East India offers plenty of scope for their utilization to cope up the challenges of rainfed agriculture. This is a challenging task of converting these ‘Gene’ resources into viable ‘Seed Resources’ for their commercial exploitation keeping the very natural resource base and integrity unaltered. A holistic effort with all modern technological interventions is the need of the hour to bring into sustainable utilization of the natural resource base of the region. The idea of bringing out the souvenir in its present form came with the realization of the need of accumulating the multitude of the concepts required for framing the objectives of rainfed area research particularly for the North Eastern part of India. I am fortunate to have the wholehearted response from many luminaries from several ICAR institutes including CRIDA and number dignified scientists from the Assam Agricultural University contributing their valuable articles. I, do express gratitude and thankfulness from my inner core of the heart to all of them for their valuable contributions. I am extremely grateful to the Honorable Vice Chancellor, AAU, Dr. Kamalmalla Bujarbaruah sir, for his constant inspiration and suggestions all along the organization of the workshop. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Srinivasa Rao, Director, CRIDA, Dr. G. N. Hazarika, Director of Research (Agri), AAU, Dr.G.Rabindra Charry, PC, AICRPDA, Dr. T.C. Baruah, Associate Dean, BNCA, Dr. P.K. Sarma, CS, AICRPDA and all associated scientists for their encouragement, moral support and valuable suggestions. Last but not the least, all the Research Associates working under AICRPDA, BNCA, do deserve due share of thanks for their all round helps in bringing out the souvenir.Not Availabl

A fuzzy based Lagrangian twin parametric-margin support vector machine (FLTPMSVM)

© 2017 IEEE. In the spirit of twin parametric-margin support vector machine (TPMSVM) and support vector machine based on fuzzy membership values (FSVM), a new method termed as fuzzy based Lagrangian twin parametric-margin support vector machine (FLTPMSVM) is proposed in this paper to reduce the effect of the outliers. In FLTPMSVM, we assign the weights to each data samples on the basis of fuzzy membership values to reduce the effect of outliers. Also, we consider the square of the 2-norm of slack variables to make the objective function strongly convex and find the solution of the proposed FLTPMSVM by solving simple linearly convergent iterative schemes instead of solving a pair of quadratic programming problems as in case of SVM, TWSVM, FTSVM and TPMSVM. No need of external toolbox is required for FLTPMSVM. The numerical experiments are performed on artificial as well as well known real-world datasets which show that our proposed FLTPMSVM is having better generalization performance and less training cost in comparison to support vector machine, twin support vector machine, fuzzy twin support vector machine and twin parametric-margin support vector machine
