 Abstract

In the present investigation barnyard millet seeds were mutagenized with different doses of gamma rays (GR) ranging from 100, 200 and 300Gy, varying concentration of ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% and Sodium azide (SA) 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03%. Variations in the germination of seeds, seedling height, seedling injury and survival of plant at maturity of barnyard millet were recorded in M1 generation. The effects of the mutagenic treatments on quantitative traits resulting in reduction in traits such as seed germination except 100Gy (91.02%), 0.1% EMS (90.87%) seedling height except 100Gy (7.02cm) and 0.01%SA (7.18cm) and survival of plant at maturity except 100Gy (88.09%) and 0.1%EMS (87.57%) but increases seedling injury except 100Gy (-00.86%) and 0.01%SA (-3.16%) was observed in treated M1 generated plants.

 Abstract

Corona virus disease 2019 is phrase as COVID-19 is pandemic disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 or SARS-CoV-2 it can spread from mild to sufficient to cause of death. The disease was first papulared in december 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province. The COVID-19 disease which unfurl from infected person to healthy one by droplet, hand shaking, coughing, sneezing, so it is risk of having COVID-19 through mucosa( Mouth and Nose) or through the conjunctiva and even it transmits through indirect contact with surfaces in the immediate environment or with objectives used on the infected person. People may be risk with COVID-19 for 1-14 days before developing symptoms which termed as subclinical infections or silent disease, like cough, fever, tiredness, difficulty in breathing. It can be tested through cultures of nose and throat and there is no specific treatment for corona virus disease, only a symptomatic treatment is available to functioning of vital organ of the body. Recently researchers coined that convalescent plasma which boost their ability to fight against the corona virus. It can be prevented by maintaining personal hygiene, social distance between people, animal and in the hospital by maintaining sterilization techniques for the covid-19 objects and fallowing protocols of corona virus disease.

 Abstract

: The idea of using waste plastics in road construction is relatively new. Laboratory tests have shown positive results when a small amount (10-15% by weight) of plastic is incorporated in bituminous mixes (asphalt), resulting in improved pavement stability, strength, and durability. However, international field experience using plastics in actual road construction is quite limited. While roads constructed using waste plastics have shown good longevity and pavement performance to date, the first roads constructed using this technology are only about ten years old, so long-term outcomes are not yet clear. The mix polymer coated aggregate and modified bitumen have shown higher strength. Use of this mix for road construction helps to use plastics waste. Once the plastic waste is separated from municipal solid waste, the organic matter can be converted into manure and used. Our paper will discuss in detail the process and its successful applications

 Abstract

This paper formulates and presents the findings on prison system of colonial rulers in Malabar. Munro directed the attention of the government to the deplorable state of the goals, the government of Madras paid scant attention to the problem of prison administration. Prisons were confined in several scatted places. Prison life was veritable hell. Severity of treatment was the order of the day. Death in prison was a usual occurrence. Hygienic conditions were extremely bad. By the regulation of 1802, the magistrate was put in charge of the prisons in the district. The colonial rulers introduced many radical reforms to improve the conditions of the prisoners in Malabar.

 Abstract

The major challenge in preventive geriatric care is that physical activity decreases with age and inactive older people are at high risk of diseases. This was a study conducted on 60 community dwelling elderly rural population. Sampling technique was simple random technique and study material was Cone markers, Chair without arm rest, Measuring tape. The entire procedures involved in the study was explained to each subject. After explaining the purpose of the study a written informed consent was obtained from the participants and then the foot up and go test, chair sit and reach test and 2 -min walk test was taken for balance, flexibility and endurance respectively over the elderly rural population. The result shows that the mean values of balance, flexibility and endurance in elderly rural population. And also the value of balance, flexibility and endurance in men and women and their mean value according to different age groups. The study concluded that the endurance is more in elderly population than balance and flexibility. And as compared between the gender, the balance is more in men and women has greater flexibility and endurance as compared to men.

 Abstract

The engagement of faculty is considered to have an enormous effect on the success of the student and the overall development of the society. The aim of the study is to determine antecedents which influence the engagement of faculty members working in educational institutions. In accordance with this aim, a cross-sectional survey design was applied to a sample of 360 faculties in the survey. The antecedents were identified and analysed using Factor analysis technique. Based on the outcome of the analysis, four antecedents were extracted, namely: Institutional Support, Institutional Orientation for Results, Supervisory Support and Teacher Self-Efficacy.

 Abstract

A major part of the construction works are done on red soil. But the problem associated with red soil is that they are loosely packed and void space is more which results in reducing the strength of the soil. Hence to rectify this we need to stabilize the soil. An effective method of soil stabilization is to add additives. These additives bind the particles together thereby reducing the void space. But there comes a question that which additive is the best whether natural or artificial fibre. In this study, a comparative analysis on the increase in strength of soil by adding natural as well as artificial fibre in various concentration of fibre (0.5%, 1%, 2%) is done. As a natural fibre, a mixture of coir fibre and sugarcane fibre is used and as an artificial fibre, polyester fibre is used. Various tests such as plastic limit and liquid limit test, standard proctor test, UCC, direct shear test is done to check out the strength parameters of soil by adding additives. From the study, we have concluded that by adding natural as well as artificial fibre the strength increases. There is not much difference between natural and artificial fibre hence natural fibre can be used.

 Abstract

Novel watermarking scheme is proposed that would notably enhance cutting-edge watermarking strategies. This scheme exploits the capabilities of micro images of watermarks to build affiliation policies and embeds the guidelines into a bunch photograph in preference to the bit circulation of the watermark, that is usually used in digital watermarking. Next, similar micro pics with the same policies are amassed or even constructed from the host picture to simulate an extracted watermark. This technique, known as the Features Classification Forest, can obtain blind extraction and is adaptable to any watermarking scheme the use of a quantization-based mechanism. Furthermore, a bigger size watermark may be established without an negative impact at the imperceptibility of the host photograph. The experiments demonstrate the successful simulation of watermarks and the application to five different watermarking schemes. One of them is barely adjusted from a reference to specially withstand JPEG compression, and the others show native benefits to resist different photo processing attacks. Noises.

 Abstract

Energy demand and supply has always been a core issue in the world for decades. These days all the countries are trying to cope up with the rapidly growing energy demands due to high energy appliances and industrial machines. The renewable energy resources are a preferred area of interest for researchers as these resources are harmless to the environment. The aim is to contribute towards wind energy conversion systems based on doubly fed induction generator by designing an intelligent controller based on fuzzy systems to improve reference tracking and robustness. Two controllers, PI and Fuzzy Intelligence based controllers are designed for decoupled control of stator active and reactive power. The responses of the two controllers are compared using MATLAB Simulink.

 Abstract

In this paper we do the analogical study of two different numerical methods in respect to iteration. Any numerical analysis model or method is faster if and only if a sequence of model solutions with increasingly refined solution domains approaches to a fixed value. Newton�Raphson and False Position methods are very e?ective numerical procedures used for solving nonlinear equations of the form f(x) = 0.Their analyses can be carried out from comparing Newton-Raphson and False Position. Given that a model is consistent, it is not feasible to apply any method to a problem without testing the size of the time and iterative steps which form the discrete approximation of the solution of the given problem. And we can say that Newton Raphson is best and faster than False Position method. The contents of this note should also be a useful exercise/example in the application of polynomial interpolation and divided di?erences in introductory courses in numerical analysis.
