so production of silkworm from silkworm egg rapidly increasing. Success of sericulture as a cash crop depends on the vitality and disease freeness of the silkworm seed applied to farmer. Production of silkworm seed is not only free from diseases but having high heterosis. It is necessary to count silkworm egg accurately to avoid loss to silkworm egg production industry and farmers or grainges. ...

Aging of Scots pine seeds (Pinus sylvestris L.) leads to changes in seed quality, such as loss of germinability, delayed growth and abnormality in developing seedlings. The knowledge of biochemical changes responsible for these aging processes is plentiful in some seeds, which are of world-wide interest, but for pine seeds these studies are rare. The aim of the present study, was to analyse pin...

We study question answering as a machine learning problem, and induce a function that maps open-domain questions to queries over a database of web extractions. Given a large, community-authored, question-paraphrase corpus, we demonstrate that it is possible to learn a semantic lexicon and linear ranking function without manually annotating questions. Our approach automatically generalizes a see...

Corrosion inhibitors play a major role in the cost effective control of corrosion. Because of the toxic nature and high cost of chemicals plant extracts are currently used as inhibitors. In the current study, efforts are taken to study the role of seed extracts of Phaseolus aureus on corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl by weight loss method and potentiodynamic polarization technique. The Potentio...

Landscape modification has been increasing in the past few decades. In particular, the biodiversity of tropical rainforests has been threatened by an intensive loss of habitat and changes in land use policies [1-3]. These processes modify the spatial pattern of the remaining forests increasing for example patch isolation [3,4], potentially affecting wildlife through changes in ecological proces...

The solvent extracted vegetable seed oils of Cucurbitaceae family viz. Bitter gourd (Momordica charentia), Small bitter gourd (Momordica dioica), Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siscraria) and Ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) were evaluated as grain protectant against callosobruchus chinensis on the stored legume-pulse grains. All the vegetable seed oils were found effective as legume-pulse grain protect...
