Pre- and Post-WTO Changes in Oilseed Economy of Karnataka: A Case of Groundnut
The growth in exports, economics of production and global competitiveness of groundnut has been reported over the period of 20 years (1984-85 to 2004-05) in Karnataka by collecting data from various published sources. Techniques used for the analysis are growth functions, tabular function, nominal protection coefficient and domestic resource cost. The analysis of export trends of groundnut from 1985-86 to 2004-05 has shown that quantity of groundnut export has grown annually at a compound growth rate of 9.52 per cent, whereas the value of groundnut exported has grown at a much higher rate of 13.13 per cent. Structural changes in costs are due to changes in quantity and quality of inputs associated with the technological process and also due to their prices. Groundnut has shown competitive disadvantage during the pre-WTO period, as values of NPC and DRC are more than one. But, during the post-WTO period, the competitiveness has increased as is evident from the NPC and DRC values which turned out be less than one. The study has suggested to exploit the competitiveness of Karnataka in groundnut and other oilseed crops.International Relations/Trade,
The present and future of QCD
This White Paper presents an overview of the current status and future perspective of QCD research, based on the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the 2022 Hot and Cold QCD Town Meeting. We present the progress made in the last decade toward a deep understanding of both the fundamental structure of the sub-atomic matter of nucleon and nucleus in cold QCD, and the hot QCD matter in heavy ion collisions. We identify key questions of QCD research and plausible paths to obtaining answers to those questions in the near future, hence defining priorities of our research over the coming decades
Farmers' Coverage under Market Intervention Scheme in Karnataka
The coverage of onion and maize growers has been analyzed under Market Intervention Scheme
(MIS) in Karnataka by selecting two northern districts of the state, viz. Dharwad and Gadag. The
study has used simple tabular analysis along with discriminant analysis. The coverage of farmers
under the scheme has not been found satisfactory. The main problems being faced by the farmers in
availing MIS benefits have been identified to include procedural complexities of the scheme, delayed
payments and the requirement of meeting Fair Average Quality (FAQ) stipulations for the crops. It
has also been revealed that farther are the procurement centres, more is the likelihood of the farmers
to go in for open market sales. The study has suggested to cover a larger number of farmers under
MIS by simplifying the procedures, making timely payments and increasing the number of procurement
centres
Synthesis, photoluminescence and forensic applications of blue light emitting azomethine-zinc (II) complexes of bis(salicylidene)cyclohexyl-1,2-diamino based organic ligands
Various azomethine-zinc(II) complexes (3a-c) of bis(salicylidene)cyclohexyl-1,2-diamino organic ligands were synthesized by one pot reaction of salicylaldehydes/2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2 eq), cyclohexyl-1,2-diamine (1 eq) and zinc acetate (1 eq) in methanol solvent at reflux temperature. The synthesized complexes were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and SEM. Their photophysical properties such as Photoluminescence (PL) and Diffused Reflectance Spectra (DRS) were studied. PL studies revealed that the emission peaks of the complexes in both solution and solid states appeared to occur at 395–600 nm and emitted blue light. The band gap energies determined from DRS were 2.98 eV (3a), 2.91 eV (3b), and 2.73 eV (3c). Based on these results, we ascertain that these Zn(II) complexes can serve as a suitable non-dopant blue light emitting compound for flat panel display applications. Latent fingerprint detection study indicated that the powder compounds show good adhesion and finger ridge details without background staining. The demonstrated method can be applied to detect fingerprints on all types of smooth surfaces

The growth in exports, economics of production and global competitiveness
of groundnut has been reported over the period of 20 years (1984-85 to
2004-05) in Karnataka by collecting data from various published sources.
Techniques used for the analysis are growth functions, tabular function,
nominal protection coefficient and domestic resource cost. The analysis
of export trends of groundnut from 1985-86 to 2004-05 has shown that
quantity of groundnut export has grown annually at a compound growth
rate of 9.52 per cent, whereas the value of groundnut exported has grown
at a much higher rate of 13.13 per cent. Structural changes in costs are due
to changes in quantity and quality of inputs associated with the
technological process and also due to their prices. Groundnut has shown
competitive disadvantage during the pre-WTO period, as values of NPC
and DRC are more than one. But, during the post-WTO period, the
competitiveness has increased as is evident from the NPC and DRC values
