 Abstract

Dyeing of textiles impart aesthetic appearance to the apparels. Around 90% of textiles were dyed for various reasons. Out of 90%, majority of textiles are dyed with synthetic dyes due to its good all round fastness properties. Due to the global warming, the people try to go back to the natural dyeing methods. But, the natural dyes are poor in fastness properties and the colours available in natural dyeing is also limited. The synthetic dyes used in industry create lots of issues like, environmental issues and colour removal in effluent. Nowadays, the development of natural dyes are enormous, every day, the new natural dyes are invented. In this paper, various natural dyes extracted from the bark of the trees, Pinus Brutia Ten, Mangrove tree, Eucalyptus camaldulensis tree, Walnut tree, Albizia Lebbeck (Siris tree), Terminalia arjuna (Marutha Maram) are described.

 Abstract

Water is one of the most important substances on earth. The importance of water in our diet is apparent as it helps the body to perform specific metabolic tasks and regulates our body temperature; moreover, water is unique as its density is similar to that of cell protoplasm. There is no doubt that water is everywhere and it is very important to our Earth and the life inhabiting it. Water also acts as the vector for many diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa and worms. For water to be regarded as potable, it must be free from pathogens. It must not contain any other noxious substances such as chemical hazards including pesticides, insecticides or herbicides, artificial fertilizers or heavy metal ions. It should not have any unpleasant odor or taste. The diseases spreading through contaminated water are known as waterborne diseases. More than 2 million people die each year from diseases such as Cholera, Typhoid, and Dysentery that are spread by contaminated water or by a lack of water for hygiene. Waterborne pathogens are a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. Routine microbiological testing of drinking water supplies, recreational waters and environmental waters is essential for the protection of public health. The main work done under this experiment of microbial analysis was to detect different bacteria and fungi. Water samples from four different regions were collected and analyses. The four different regions were: Region I- Shrinagar extension and Region II-Marimata in Indore area. Hence, it is worth mentioning here that the water of Region III is more potable as compared to that of other region in terms of microbes present in it.

This paper is concerned with a three species food chain model whose population interacts with a mutualist. Holling type II functional response is considered to model the interactions between the prey and middle predator and the interaction between the middle predator and top predator is assumed to be governed by ratio dependent functional response. The mutualism is facultative in which mutualism occurs with the prey population, modeled by system of four autonomous ordinary differential equations. Conditions of the boundedness of system are established. Existence of equilibrium point and stability analysis of model is carried out by using usual theory of ordinary differential equations. It is found that if the maximal growth rateof the top predator is less than the death rate then top predator face extinction. Also we obtained the conditions that influence the persistence of system. Furthermore global stability of the system is shown graphically. It has been observed from numerical simulations that in the presence of mutualist population, prey increases and hence population of predator also increases, but in the absence of mutualism, population of prey decreases and hence predators population also decreases.

Aim: To study the effect of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dietary pattern on exercising population. Objectives: 1) To assess the anthropometry measurements. 2) To evaluate the dietary pattern by 24hr home recall. 3) To assess the behavioural and lifestyle changes. 4) To evaluate various Performance Evaluation Test. 5) To compare the vegetarian and the non- vegetarian groups through Nutritional Assessment Tool and Performance Evaluation Test. Methods: Purposive convenience sampling method was used for the female�s participants who were exercising in gyms in the age group of 18-35 year. Total sample size was 100, in which 50 vegetarian and 50 non-vegetarian. Interview cum questionnaire method was used to collect data from the participants. Performance evaluation test was conducted to evaluate tests like Step test, balance test, body composition, sit and reach, core muscle , abdominal curl, and general strength test. Analyses were performed using SPSS software version 20. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results and discussion: Non-vegetarian group (NON-VEG) had higher percentage of medical problems than Vegetarian group (VEG). The mean values for weight was lower in VEG (63.88 + 12.430) than NON-VEG group(66.88 + 12.346)kg and mean values for Body fat% was higher in VEG (57.94 + 173.53) than NON-VEG (33.96+ 6.278)%. Performance evaluation test for core muscle i.e. plank test mean values were lower for VEG (49.90 + 35.642) compared to NON-VEG group (55.18 + 66.454)secs. Balance test (p=0.018) and squats test (p=0.050) scores were higher in NON-VEG group. A negative association was observed between BMI and RHR (p= 0.004), BMI and 1 Min step test (p=0.023). There was positive association between BMI and weight (p= 0.000), visceral fat (p=0.000) and BMR (p =0.000). 24 hrs dietary recall showed no significant difference in energy (p=0.131), carbohydrates (p=0.342) and fats (p=0.637) between the groups. The protein intake (p=0.002) was higher in NON-VEG group. Conclusion: In the present study vegetarian and non-vegetarian groups were compared on the basis of nutritional assessment and performance evaluation test. Performance evaluation scores for Balance test, plank test, abdominal curl test and squats were better in exercising non- vegetarian group and the protein intake was higher, whereas in vegetarian exercising population flexibility was better and they had lower chance of medical problems. To conclude a well balanced diet with good amount and quality of protein plays an important role in maintaining high level of performance.

 Abstract

Right from the conceptualization of societal norms and regulations, culture has dominated the psychology of individuals. It can be interpreted as a sum of rituals, norms and values that are shared by persons belonging to a society and are passed on from one generation to another. By contemplating this fact, it becomes extremely vital to investigate that in a country like India which is a boon of rich cultural heritage, how efficiently prominent determinants form cultural norms so that Indian retail merchandisers can formulate their marketing policies accordingly and satisfy their consumers through profitable deals. As culture makes up the mentalities of individuals, it also impacts their buying behavior regarding the goods or services they purchase from the retail market. This paper primarily explores the determinants of culture and the extent to which they impact consumer buying behavior as the retail market is expanding greatly due to which, it has become significant to understand the psychology of consumers. The data was collected by self-structured questionnaires that were filled by 400 respondents belonging to the city of Agra. Initially, the researcher justified the relevance of four determinants of culture comprising of Gender, Age, Educational Status and Religion through t-test and one way ANOVA. In order to investigate the relationship between these determinants and consumer buying behavior, step-wise regression analysis was conducted which resulted in justifying that none of the determinants established a significant relationship with consumer buying behavior.

Abstract� In aerospace and aircraft construction it is essential that materials with a high strength to weight ratio be used. For this reason, the designer tries to get the last ounce of strength out of each part. An increasing scarcity of resources and their growing expense demands a reduction in energy consumption for passenger and goods transportation. Here, the aerospace and aviation sector plays a special role with respect to the application of new materials. There is probably no other material more closely related to aerospace and aircraft than titanium and its alloys. With a density of 4.Jg/cm�, titanium alloys are only about half as heavy as steel or Ni-based super alloys, yielding a unique combination of strength and lightness. Furthermore, then have exceptional corrosion resistance favors the use of titanium alloys in the aerospace and aviation sector.

 Abstract

Walking is an essential mode of transport. Most journeys, even if mainly by car, bus or bike, include walking as a component. New and improved pedestrian facilities enable greater access and mobility within our communities. A pedestrian-friendly environment plays an important role in encouraging walking as a mode of travel, and this has proven health and environmental benefits. Improper and inadequate planning for pedestrians will lead to many negative consequences like unnecessary fatalities and injuries. Most of the developing countries do not make pedestrian planning as a pre-requisite and there are a few incentives for them to do so. Helping city planners to understand the scope and extent of local pedestrian conditions, relative to other cities, would be a positive step in the right direction, as it would help them to identify specific counter measures and costs associated with improving pedestrian conditions.

Animated characters have become popular with students, and every day, the animation is becoming easier to do; both in the classroom and at home. However, with the simplification of the process, some educators are a little undecided on the use of animation in teaching. It was proved that animation has an impact on learner�s motivation. In addition, using audio visual has helped students acquire more vocabulary than with a traditional method, as learners found it more amusing and interesting. Due, animation should be used as an educational tool to learn vocabulary, because of its effectiveness and motivational features. These researchers also highlight the importance of animation in teaching because they help understand abstract concepts. Also, it may play a pivotal role in making learning permanent. Finally, they emphasize the importance of animation to visualize knowledge.

Now-a-days, it's becoming very important to know about any information in a digital way in order to avoid crimes and other mischief activities. Conventional methods that are used now do have limited advantages as we have to check for every minute information in a thorough way. By using this method, we need not put strenuous hours over monitors, instead it gives the complete information about what, how and when that happened over there.

Abstract: The hoary tradition of Hindu rituals and customs are maintained from the Puranic age to the postmodern India. The impact of cognitive and metacognitive strategies and meanings found in Sanskrit and Vedic literature and Puranas have a deep impact on moulding the thought process used in South Indian English literature and language. In my research I intend to explore �Sanskritization� and the Indian philosophy of life through ritualistic vision in the works of three famous literary artists i.e. R. K. Narayan, Raja Rao and Girish Karnad. Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit) language shapes, reshapes, reconstructs, and is reiterated in the Hindu Dravidian culture of South Indian writing in English and acts as an Indians� retreat into the past, finding solace in religion and philosophy amidst British rule in the colonial and post-colonial era. Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth argued that the first step for �colonized� people in finding a voice and an identity is to reclaim their own past (Barry 186). Thus Sanskrit language and literature acts as a cultural and social as well as psychological background in creating the South Indian famous literary works. I want to explore how the root of Indian literature, especially of South India, is rooted and linked with Vedas, the Upanishads and the Puranas of Sanskrit literature and its relation with Indian philosophy through the lens of ritualistic vision which moulds the mind and imagination of the people of India. Thus it is a process of �Sanskritization� of English language through the presentation of culture and traditions, rites and rituals. The �Sanskritization� of English should be seen as part of a wider sociocultural phenomenon that has historically characterized Indian civilization. From the primordial to the postmodern era rituals are carried on as a flux and continuous practices as described in the works of the South Indian literary genre. I want to explore how the theories like Marxism, Structuralism and other theoretical genres interpret rituals and what role rituals play in South Indian literature from the mythical, historical, psychological, political, socio-economic point of view to create an Indian philosophy and mystic vision of life. In Indian literature we find a reflection of Eastern philosophy, culture and an extensive use of Hindu rituals during natural disasters like drought, famine, flood etc. I will analyse how Nature plays an important role in moulding the rituals as these are mainly practised in the time of natural calamities to retain a cosmic order. In R. K. Narayan�s The Guide (1958), Raja Rao�s Kanthapura (1938), The Serpent and the Rope (1960), The Cat and Shakespeare (1965), Girish Karnad�s The Fire and the Rain (1995), the rituals like yaj�a, fasting, mantras and many other Hindu rites play the most significant role as a quest to mythical as well as metaphysical way of life. The writers� spiritual quest through the characters of their works influences me to work on that particular topic to comprehend the Hindu philosophy of life in India. Their select works can be seen in the light of ritualistic vision through philosophical views of the Upanishads (the relation between atman and Brahman) and �oceanic feeling� in the word of Romain Rolland and as defense mechanism in the word of Sigmund Freud. Thus a work of exploration on the works of the trio will reveal how the characters act in their works at a metaphysical level for the realization of the self.

Antioxidants retard toxic effect of free radicals which can cause skin problems. Hence synthetic and herbal creams incorporate antioxidants like ?-tocopherol acetate in their formulations. ?-Tocopherol acetate not only acts as an antioxidant but also prevents oxidation and rancidity of fat and oil-based creams. Determination of ? -tocopherol acetate is a tedious task as its extraction requires a special procedure due to the presence of large number of ingredients in the matrix. In this paper, concentration of ?-tocopherol acetate in various types of commercial synthetic and herbal skin creams were calculated through extraction by gradient HPLC.
