    Get PDF
    Love is the reason why the world is alive. Animals, birds and all living beings are filled with love. It is not possible to avoid love and bring this world into the imagination. Love stirs everyone to the point of saying that there are no poets who do not sing about love, and there are no creators who do not write about it. Every creator writes this love according to his opinion or on the basis of recording the reality as it is. Thus, this article seeks to explore what accounts of love have been given in his works by V. Jeevakumaran of Denmark

    Get PDF
    If the people living in a country live happily and contentedly, it means that there is good economic prosperity there. If the economy is prosperous, then they should have had the best thinking and planning in earning and spending the economy. As far as the Tamils of the Sangam age are concerned, the economic ideas have been explained more often by living and showing them than by speaking alone. Economic ideas are embedded in the way they lived. Therefore, if we study the way of life of the Tamils of the Sangam age, we will find out the way of life in which they lived with economic thought and the economic thought which was the basis for it. Thus, the purpose of this article is to bring out the ideas on the economy based on the way of life of the Tamils found in the Pattinapalai book, which is included in the Sangam literature, Pathupaattu

    Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi lives as a leader who sows a treasure trove of ideas in his heart, a count who moulds principles, a poet who composes songs, a son of a lot of Tamil literature, a embodiment of labour, a forgetful man who respects talent, a Tamil who admires Sangam Tamil as an elixir. Karunanithi is. Even though he created many literatures, he was deeply in love with Sangam literature. That is why he has given a book of commentary to the Tamil world titled 'Sanga Thamizh', which is written in the style of poetry. Although there are many specialties in the book, the artist's ability to incorporate sangam songs in particular is pervasive in many subjects. However, the purpose of this article is to examine the ability of the artist to combine the compositions of Pisiranthaiyar, a scholar, with those about him

In the early years, he was a Hindu fanatic, later a Saivite, and finally rose up against idolatry and guided the worship of light. He opposes caste, religion, gotra, etc. He presents progressive ideas. His comments also attract father Periyar, who was a rationalist campaigner. This article examines the compatibility of vallalar's ideas and father Periyar's ideas and vallalar's reformist ideas

    The binding requirements of monkey brain lysosomal enzymes their immobilised receptor protein

    Get PDF
    The lysosomal enzyme binding protein (receptor protein) isolated from monkey brain was immobilised on Sepharose 4B and used to study the binding of brain lysosomal enzymes. The immobilised protein could bind ß-D-glucosaminidase, α-D-mannosidase, α -L-fucosidase and ß-D-glucuronidase. The bound enzymes could be eluted either at an acid pH of 4.5 or by mannose 6-phosphate but not by a number of other sugars tested. Binding could be abolished by prior treatment of the lysosomal enzymes with sodium periodate. Alkaline phosphatase treatment of the enzymes did not prevent the binding of the lysosomal enzymes to the column but decreased their affinity, as seen by a shift in their elution profile, when a gradient elution with mannose 6-phosphate was employed. These results suggested that an 'uncovered' phosphate on the carbohydrate moiety of the enzymes was not essential for binding but can enhance the binding affinity

    Brush Plated Copper Gallium Sulphide Films and their Properties

    Get PDF
    Copper gallium sulphide films were deposited for the first time by the brush plating technique at different electrolyte temperatures in the range of 30°C - 80°C and at a constant deposition current density of 5.0 mA cm-2. X-ray diffractograms of the films are single phase with chalcopyrite structure. EDAX measurements indicated that the Cu/Ga ratio decreased from 1.29 to 1.00 as the electrolyte temperature increased from 30°C - 80°C. The grain size increased with increase of electrolyte temperature. The grain size increases from 100 nm to 300 nm as the electrolyte temperature increases

    Enhancing Growth and Yield in Banana Cv. Robusta (AAA) through Fertigation with Microbial Consortium

    Get PDF
    Studies were carried out at Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore, to test the effect of fertigation with a consortium of biofertilizers for sustainable production in banana cv. Robusta (AAA). The combination of fertigation and consortium of biofertilizers significantly influenced yield and yield-attributing characters in both primary and ratoon crops. Fertigation with 100% recommended dose of fertilizers along with the consortium of biofertilizers recorded significantly higher yield compared to soil application of fertilizer, farm yard manure and consortium of biofertilizers. However, yield difference between 100% and 75% recommended dose of fertilizers was not significant. Likewise, yield difference between 75% and 50% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) too did not differ significantly, although yields declined at 50% RDF. Other growth characters such as number of leaves and plant girth were also significantly influenced by the combined application of fertigation and the consortium of biofertilizers in both main and the crops. However, plant height, number of hands per bunch and TSS were not affected by these treatments. Pulp-to-peel ratio significantly differed in both the main plant and ratoon crops, but days to maturity differed significantly in the ratoon crop. Main plant crop yields were higher compared to that in ratoon. N and K accumulation was significantly higher at 100% fertigation with 300g of the consortium of biofertilizers in both the seasons. However, accumulation of phosphorous was higher at 100% fertigation with 300g of the consortium of biofertilizers (CBF) in the plant crop whereas, in the ratoon crop, highest accumulation of P in the stem was observed at 100% RDF+100g CBF, and, in the leaf and fruit, at 100% RDF with 300g and 200g of CBF, respectively

    AbstractFriction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state method of joining thermoplastic materials. In this investigation, an attempt was made to join the polypropylene plate of 10mm thickness with different tool pin profiles (square, triangular, threaded and grooved with square pin profile). During FSW, Forces acting on the tool along the travel distance and defects occurred in the joints are observed with respect constant rotational speed and different welding feeds. From this investigation, it is found that the joint fabricated using threaded pin profile tool produce less amount of force and square, triangular & grooved with square pin profile produced defect free welds

    Microbes play a vital role in ice nucleation, supporting bio-precipitation, and allowing plants to live in low-water environments. A field experiment was conducted during December 2018 with two phyllosphere microorganisms’ spraying viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFM) and under three moisture regimes (0.6, 0.8, 1.0 IW/CPE (irrigation water/ cumulative pan evaporation) ratio) on tomato (PKM 1) in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu). A laboratory experiment was conducted to confirm ice nucleation using two phyllosphere microorganisms’ P. aeruginosa and PPFM. The bioprecipitation impacts on tomatoes were assessed using a set of physiological parameters such as photosynthetic rate, average chlorophyll Index and the ice nucleation activity (INA) assessed using tube nucleation test and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the mean photosynthetic rate of PPFM sprayed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) (PKM 1) plants (40.7 μmol CO2/m2/s) at 10 DAS was significantly higher than P. aeruginosa sprayed plant (38.7 μmol CO2/m2/s) under different irrigation regimes. The average chlorophyll Index value of the P. aeruginosa sprayed tomato plants (58.1) was higher than PPFM sprayed plants (56.4). The tube nucleation tests were proved that ice crystallization induced by P. aeruginosa in super-cooled buffer at - 2 to -10°C while PPFM not catalyze the buffer even after 3hours. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated the P. aeruginosa growth at the upper surface of the leaf and PPFM growth more at the lower surface of the leaf compared to without inoculation of microbes on leaves. Overall, the result revealed that P. aeruginosa may assist in ice nucleation activity that will help to make artificial rain in the near future
