Plastic laminated sheet Steel and Aluminium

Studies were continued on the metal –PVC laminates using an elastomeric adhesive for bonding.In addition to black sheets, aluminium sheets were also coated with PVC laminates and their properties vis-à-vis corrosion resistance were studied in detail

Not AvailableField experiments were carried out on a sandy loam (Typic-Ustochrept) soil in hot dry semi-arid subtropical climate of Meerut to study the effect of tillage systems and crop residue mulching with fertilizer application doze combination on soil physical properties (aggregate size distribution, mean weight diameter (GMD) and bulk density), chemical properties (soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC)) and its plant growth parameters and yield continuous wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol) system during 2008-11. Two tillage systems and four crop residue mulching with recommended doze fertilizer (RDF) combination were factorially combined in a split plot design with three replications and each plot size was 5 length and 4 m width. The tillage systems (main plots) were: no tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), i.e. 4 harrowing +1 tine cultivating and one patella.Not Availabl

Not AvailableField experiments were carried out on a sandy loam (Typic -Usochrept) soil in hot dry semi-arid subt tropical climate of Meerut to study the effect of tillage systems and crop residue mulching with fertilizer Application doze combination on soil physical properties (aggregate size distribution, mean weight diameter (GMD) and bulk density), chemical properties (soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil microbial biomass carbon(MBC)) and it s plant growth parameters and yield continuous wheat (Triticum aestiumL. emend. Fiori & Paol) system during 2008-11. Two tillage systems and four crop residue mulching with recommended doze fertilizer (RDF) combination were factorially combined in a split plot design with three replications and each plot size was 5 length and 4 m width. The tillage systems (main plots) were: no tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), i.e. 4 harrowing +1 tine cultivating and one patella. The rice crop residue used as mulching and fertilizer combination treatments (sub-plots) consisted of four M – No mulch + recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), M2- Mulch (6 t ha)-1 + recommended dose of fertilizer (120:60:40 kg NPK) (RDF), M - Mulch (0) + 125% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), M - Mulch (6 t ha-1 ) + 125% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF). Results revealed that ZT had higher MWDs and lower GMDs than CT at both depths. The MWDs decreased with increase in soil depth for both tillage (T) treatments as well as rice crop residue mulching (M) treatments. The bulk density were not affected significantly (P < 0.05) by tillage 3systems and crop residue mulching × recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) application at both 0-15 and 15-30 cm soil depth. Tillage system did not inf luence significantly on SOC at both depths but MBC influenced significantly (P=0.05) at upper depth (0-15 cm). The SOC and MBC were affected significantly (P = 0.01) by crop residue mulching with combination of recommended fertilizer application rate at upper depth (0-15 cm) but 15-30 cm, SOC was significantly at P = 0.05 but MBC had no significant different. The SOC was significantly higher value in ZT (5.61 g kg -1) than CT(4.69 gkg-1) at 0-15 cm soil depth. The SOC and MBC were recorded in ordered M4>M2>M>M1 which had significant difference value at P = 0.01.The zero tillage showed significantly (P = 0.01) higher infilt ration rate (1.96 cm h-1) than conventional tillage. The infiltration rate (IR) was significantly (P = 0.01) higher in M-1(2.15 cm h-1) followed by M (1.97-cm h-1). Tillage system inf luenced significantly (P = 0.05) on shoot dry weight and total biomass accumulation at all three growth stages i.e. ear emergence (EE), BGF and dough stages, however, on LAI at dough stage, it significant at P = 0.01. The growth parameters (LAI, shoot dry weight, root dry weight and total biomass accumulation) were influenced significantly (P = 0.01) by residue mulching with combination of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) at beginning grain filling (BGF) and dough stages, however, at ear emergence stage, it was only significant (P = 0.01) on shoot dry weight and total biomass accumulation. The higher grain yield value was observed in zero tillage as compared to conventional tillage. The highest grain yield of wheat cropwas observed in M4 (5.33 t ha-1) and followed by M2 (5.21 t ha-1), M 3(5.15t ha-1) and M1 (4.62 t ha-1) but difference among the treatments was non significant.Not Availabl

Nutritional Value and Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Apple Snail &lt;i&gt;Pila globosa&lt;/i&gt; (Swainson) and &lt;i&gt;Lymnaea luteola&lt;/i&gt; Lamark

The physico-chemical characteristics, lipids, protein, fat, moisture and ash of P. globosa and L.luteola were studied. The percentage of oil content found were 2.30 ± 0.29 and 1.61 ± 0.12 in meat of P. globosa and L. luteola. The protein and fat content of P. globosa were 33.81% and 1.80% whereas 22.71% and 1.49% in L. luteola. The moisture content were 75.31% and 78.96% in P. globosa and L. luteola respectively. The total lipid extracts were fractionated into three major lipid groups neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids by silicic acid column chromatography. The glycolipid were averaged to 57.39% and 57.24% of the weight of the lipid applied in L. luteola and P. globosa. The percentage composition of fatty acids were found in the form of oleic 19.46 ± 0.33, lauric 13.23 ± 0.73, palmitic 16.56 ± 0.41 in L. luteola and 20.37 ±1.38, 14.30 ± 1.06 and 18.52 ± 1.10 in P. globosa respectively.

Evaluation of Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic activities of Kokilaksha Kashayam, An Ayurvedic Formulation

Kokilaksha Kashayam is a polyherbal Ayurvedic formulation prescribed for treating pain and inflammation. The scientific validation of the claimed pharmacological activities of this formulation has not been established yet. In the present work, the anti-inflammatory and Analgesic activity of freshly prepared in house Kokilaksha Kashayam as well as its marketed formulation were evaluated on experimental animals. The Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carrageenan induces paw edema method, while the analgesic activity was evaluated by means of Eddy’s hot plate, tail-flick and formaldehyde induced tail flick methods. The results indicated that both in-house as well as marketed Kokilaksha Kashayam possess profound anti-inflammatory as well as analgesic property.</jats:p
