Vitamin A deficiency is the most important cause of childhood blindness in lower and middle income countries, and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality from common childhood infections. Beaton and colleagues’ metaanalysis of randomized community-based trials in eight countries concluded that vitamin A supplementation resulted in a 23% reduction in the mortality rates of children ...

The experiment was conducted to assess the impactofZn and B application on sunflower growth, yield oil content in sub-tropical condition. laid out randomized complete block design (RCBD) with twelve treatmentsand replicated thrice. treatments comprised viz; T1: Without fertilizers (absolute control), T2: RDF (N80P40K40), T3: N80P40K40Zn0.5%, T4: N80P40K40Zn4, T5: N80P40K40B0.2%, T6: N80P40K40B2...

The paper is a short overview of the generalization of Groenendijk-Stokhof’s system of erotetic logic(also known as the partition semantics of questions) to fuzzy questions. Fuzzy intensional semantics,necessary for Groenendijk-Stokhof’s system, is developed within Henkin-style second-order fuzzy logic,which is introduced first. Our attention is restricted to fuzzy yes-no questions.

There is a lack of quantitative evidence for spinal postures that are advocated as 'ideal' in clinical ergonomics for sitting. This study quantified surface spinal curves and examined whether subjects could imitate clinically 'ideal' directions of spinal curve at thoraco-lumbar and lumbar regions: (i) flat - at both regions (ii) long lordosis - lordotic at both regions (iii) short lordosis - th...

Background: Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is most widely grown pulse-cum-vegetable crop. It plays an important role in maintaining soil fertility. Besides, nitrogen which fixed the from atmosphere by crop specific Rhizobium found root nodules of this crop, phosphorus another element inter-alia enhances fixation capability In addition to biologically nitrogen, also requires through fertil...

The reproductive performance of dairy cows may be improved by feeding conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements during early lactation. The mechanism of action of t10,c12 CLA is not clearly known. Our objective was to investigate the effect of t10,c12 CLA on oocyte maturation and lipid composition of cumulus oocyte complexes (COC). The developmental potential of oocytes incubated in in vitro m...

A fluidized-pellet-bed separator with movable sludge hoppers was applied in pilot scale for the separation and thickening of activated sludge mixture liquid. Under the condition of suspension SS around 4,000 mg/L, polymer (CJX103, cationic, MW 5 × 106) dose at a dry solid ratio of 0.003 and upward flow rate at 5.4 m/hr, the fluidized pellet bed performed solid/liquid separation and sludge thick...

Uniformity in the deposition of granulated fertilizers seed furrow is essential for crop development and productivity. Quantitative (dose flow) qualitative factors (segregation formulation) influence fertilizer distribution throughout its application. This experiment aimed to compare two with different chemical formulations (04-14-08 04-30-10), using helical overflow metering mechanism at three...

An experiment on “Effect of Plant growth regulators fruit yield and quality Mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Amrapali” was conducted at the research plot, College Horticulture, Chiplima during year 2020-21 by using Randomized Block Design with three replications ten treatments. Three concentrations NAA i.e. 10, 20 30 ppm, GA3 ppm 2,4-D were applied pea marble stage fruit. Research work held 07 y...
