Harvesting Prosperity: A Comparative Analysis Of Karnataka's Agricultural Development Landscape (2021-22)

In India's southwest, Karnataka is the eighth-largest state. It is the industry leader in floriculture and horticulture. With 23.82 lakh hectares under cultivation, the State holds the top spot and accounts for 9.01 percent of the nation's total horticultural area. Its reputation as a producer of horticulture, cash crops, food crops, and plantations is widely acknowledged. Altitude and distance from the sea influence the interaction of topographic, climatic, and edaphic variables that result in a highly diversified and distinct ecosystem. The current study aims to analyse the data that the Karnataka government has released regarding 27 indicators, using 31 districts as the study's units. The Composite Index Method is used to construct the agricultural development index, which is used to rank the districts. The study revealed that whereas Tumakuru and Belgavi are poorly developed, the districts of Udupi, Bangalore (Rural), Kodagu, and Ramanagara are developed districts in terms of agriculture. Every other district is classified as a developing district

A Survey on Fruit Quality Inspection Using K-Means Segmentation

In recent era, the Agricultural production (ex. Fruits) has increased rapidly .So it become very dif?cult to detect the Quality of Fruit. This leads towards a need of scalable solution. As to satisfy today's requirement, we are proposing a system which gives better result for detection of Fruits quality efficiently. Serialized Database is used to store the image features. The different database is a used to store different types of images according to system requirement .It is also able to analysethe another disease related to detected disease. This approach provides solution for defect segmentation of fruit. Proposed approach will improves defect segmentation quality related to precision and computational time

An association of plasma cyclophilin A with severity of coronary artery disease

Background: Plasma cyclophilin A (CyPA), an emerging biomarker of cardiovascular disease, is likely to play a crucial role in all stages of atherosclerosis. Very few studies have been conducted on the association of plasma CyPA with coronary artery disease (CAD) in India. The aim of the present study was to determine an association between plasma CyPA levels and CAD severity. Methods: The present cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 100 patients aged ≥18 years who presented with symptoms suggestive of CAD. The presence or absence of cardiovascular risk factors such as gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, family H/O CAD, smoking, etc. were noted. Coronary angiography was performed on each patient. Quantitative estimation of plasma CypA levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was done. Results: The mean serum CypA (66.6 Vs 44.9 ng/ml) and hs-CRP (29.8 Vs 21.4 mg/l) were significantly higher in patients with obstructive CAD as compared to non-obstructive CAD. There was a statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.251) between CypA levels and hs-CRP (p value=0.012). The mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (181 Vs 160.8 mg/dL) and mean triglycerides (179 Vs 168 mg/dl) were significantly higher in patients with obstructive CAD as compared to non-obstructive CAD. There was no statistically significant difference between the type of CAD and mean total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions: CypA levels were increased in obstructive CAD patients. High CypA serum levels could be a novel biomarker in CAD patients associated with severe CAD

Effect of Austenitization Temperature on Wear Behavior of Carbidic Austempered Ductile Iron (CADI)

Chromium bearing Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) has been recently in the news for its improved wear performance over the ADI. The work presented below was taken up to study the effect of different austenitisation temperatures on the microstructure and wear performance of the Carbidic Austempered Ductile Iron (CADI). In this investigation Cr bearing ductile iron was subjected to austempering treatment to obtain an ausferritic microstructure. Two different austenitisation temperatures were selected whereas, the austempering temperature and time was kept unchanged. Microstructure and wear performance of this alloy, austenitized at two different temperatures was studied

Orthodontic Camouflage in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: A Contemporary Review

Early orthopedic intervention can be effective in normalizing skeletal class III malocclusions if patients are treated in a timely manner. There are a large number of skeletal class III patients that either decline or cannot afford surgical treatment. The only alternative is ‘Orthodontic camouflage’ through comprehensive treatment with fixed appliances. The ultimate judgment as to whether orthodontic treatment alone, to camouflage a skeletal problem, would be an acceptable result, or whether orthognathic surgery to correct the jaw discrepancy would be required, must be made by the patient and parents. Class III camouflage logically would be the reverse of class II camouflage, based on retracting the lower incisors, advancing the upper incisors, and surgically reducing the prominence of the chin, in addition, rotating the mandible downward and backward, when the chin is prominent, can be considered a form of camouflage. Even though timing of orthodontic treatment has always been somewhat controversial, it is an agreement in the literature that prognosis is still obscure until growth is completed. A cephalometric analysis is needed to quantitatively record the severity of the class III malocclusion and to determine the underlying cause of the deformity. Although it is agreed that camouflage line of treatment is not an ideal lineof treatment, but it serves its purpose very well in mild rangeof skeletal dysplasia’s and in conditions where patient is eitherunwilling for orthognathic surgery or in cases were surgery iscontraindicated
