Vermiwash is coelomic fluid and vermicasting filtrate due to earthworms (Eudrillus eugenie) activity, collected through vermiwash model. For investigation of bacterial diversity and its quantity four different samples of vermiwash used. The samples are VM1- of Horse, VM2- of Pig, VM3 - of Elephant and VM4 - of Cow dung. The bacterial strains are isolated from above samples by using serial dilution, screening and spread plate method of Jensen’s, CRYMA and Nutrient agar medium. They are characterized and identified by observing morphological characters, microscopic examination and enzymatic activity. Purification of colony done by streak plate and slant streaking method. The bacterial strains identified are: From VM1- sample Pseudomonas aeroginosa ,VM2- Rhizobium spp. and Azobactor spp., VM3- Pseudomonas aeroginosa and VM4- sample Rhizobium spp. and Azobactor spp. respectively. The maximum bacterial count VM1- sample- 42 X 103 SPC/ ml, VM2- sample - 33 X 101 SPC/ ml, VM3- sample - 76 X 101 SPC/ ml, VM4- sample- 54 X 102 SPC/ ml. The bacterial flora in vermiwash very useful to regulate growth of plants with respect to nitrogen fixation and white root proliferation.

Fe2O3Ti and Fe2O3Mg nano particles were prepared by self-propagation method using PEG as capping agent. Nano particle was characterized by XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), and VSM (Vibrating Sample Magneto Meter).Conform the structural, textural and magnetic property. Surface morphology changed cubic to needles shape and size where in between 25-70 nm confirmed by SEM analysis, XRD analysis shows that doping reveals the cubic with hexagonal edge structure. VSM shows the magnetic behavior of the sample.

For the efficient design of structure it is necessary to do the exact analysis of the elements. There are several methods of analysis broadly classified into classical and approximate method classical methods give exact solution but has its own constraints like magnitude of structure & specific geometrical dimensions. To overcome this and for rapid processing approximate methods are adopted. One such method is finite element method. Even though the results are said to be approximate but with keen consideration the variance is as good as negligible.The aim of this dissertation work is to find out the factors like shape & size of elements for gaining more accurate analytical result. The work over here is done by considering a plate with various shape & size & comparative results are depicted in the observation tables. It is clear that accuracy in the result can be obtained with refined meshing and considering Triangular shape element.

Grain shape quality traits of twenty (20) rice genotypes were studied in order to understand the effects of drought stress on quality traits of rice. The result of Analysis of Variance clearly indicates that genotypes significantly differ for studied grain quality traits under both for normal as well as drought prone environments, except grain breadth /thickness without bran under stress condition. Higher heritability estimates for all quality traits under both environments indicate that these characters are controlled by multiple genes. Results showed that grain length was positively correlated with length to width ratio (0.863* and 0.668*) and negatively correlated with grain width (-0.614** and -0.313**) and grain breadth (-0.321**and -0.030ns) under both normal and stress conditions respectively. Grain width was positively correlated with grain breadth (0.711** and 0.486**) and negatively correlated with length to width ratio (-0.926* and -0.910*) under both conditions respectively. Grain width was highly correlated with yield per plant (0.386** and 0.315**) under both, normal and drought stress respectively. It shows that reduction in grain width has direct effect on grain yield. Under normal condition, yield was positively correlated with grain width (0.386**) and grain breadth (0.552*) indicating that grain width and grain breadth should be considered while screening high yielding genotypes under normal condition and grain width should be considered for drought stres

Our research indicates that mostly violence occurs due to negligence and people not getting equal rights. In today’s Organizational society we can observe that also the political leaders motivate the people to do violence. we collect data through questionnaire. We are using the inquiry mode of research in which we use the qualitative approach. That approach provides us with the primary data through questionnaires. The data source is basically the students and employees who are doing internships and already serving at different organizational levels that related to the manufacturing sector and also from the young generation aging between 19 – 35 years who are job less or in search of it. The sampling technique we are using is the proportionate stratified sampling. Our studies show that people are violent for getting equal rights. Three common reasons for violence: to resolve the problem of getting rights, to react against the discrimination and to get justice or to take revenge. Self-defense is also the factor which can arouse the violence .Research shows that a powerful person always do violence because of force and power they have and they shows that they will do such things which they want and according to desire. In order to address these issues in an effective way, we must first recognize that violence and abuse are human problems. This research shows that the violence may occur due to illiteracy also. Education creates a sense of humbleness and polite behavior. When a person has no education they behave desperately, will not bear other people mistakes. Education plays a vital role in reshaping the personality. So the research which we conducted shows that education has major effects on the occurrence of violence. One main factor which also cause of violence is that there is no unity in the Organizational society .Organizational society is divided even on the little things so we need to reunite if we want peace in the Organizational society.

Abstract The present study was carried out with an aim to emphasis on the effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic radiations from cell towers on human beings. Questionnaire based survey was conducted by means of interviews and general discussions with a population size of 181 inhabitants residing in five different localities (viz., Gangondahalli, Nagarabhavi, Moodalpalya, Chandra layout, Guddadahalli) of Bangalore south taluk. The participants themselves filled the self-administered questionnaire by entering their response data on the health effects faced due to establishment of mobile towers. Exposure assessment was based on the distances from base stations (less than 10 m, 10-50 m, 50-100 m, 100-200 m, 200-300 m, > 300 m) and their location in relation to the antennas (facing, beside, behind, beneath in the case of antennas placed on rooftops). Based on results congregated, it was evident that headache, irritability, nausea, appetite loss, discomfort, sleep disturbance, depression, memory loss difficulty in concentration and dizziness, etc., are more frequently observed symptoms of ill-health in the exposed groups. It is concluded that the cell phones and cell phone tower radiation are a strong risk factor for all the adverse health effects.

The objective of the present investigation is to analyze the radiation and mass transfer effects on an unsteady two-dimensional laminar convective boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, chemically reacting and dissipative fluid along a semi-infinite vertical plate with suction. The equations of continuity, linear momentum, energy and diffusion, which govern the flow field are solved by using a regular perturbation method. The behavior of the velocity, temperature, concentration has been discussed numerically and graphically for variations in the governing parameters.

Glibenclamide, a sulfonylurea derivative is widely used as hypoglycaemic agent. Glibenclamide is a highly permeable class II drug. Hence, rate of oral absorption is often controlled by the dissolution rate in the gastrointestinal (GI)tract. Therefore, the Liquisolid compact of Glibenclamide has been prepared for the enhancement of dissolution of Glibenclamide. Neusilin US2 was selected as carrier material and Aerosil 200 was selected as coating material. A Central composite factorial design was applied to optimize the drug release profile systematically. The amounts of drug (%) in PEG 400 (X1) and Excipient ratio, R (X2) were selected as independent variables. Angle of repose (Y1), Hardness (Y2) and CPR at 10 min (Y3) were seleced as dependent variables. All the batches of Liquisolid compacts showed significance improvement in dissolution of Glibenclamide. Various dissolution parameters like DP10min, %DE10min and MDT of optimized batch and direct conventional tablet were compared. DSC and XRD analysis of pure Glibenclamide, physical mixture and final formulation indicated that the drug was solubilized in non-volatile vehicle and solubilization of Glibenclamide was the main cause of enhancement of solubility of Glibenclamide. Storage of the prepared formulations at 45°C for one month showed no any chemical incompatibility. It was concluded that, Liquisolid compact technique can be a simple and effective to enhance the dissolution of poorly water soluble drug.

This research work proposes a novel technique for Automatic face recognition (AFR) system using cascaded structures and clustering network. Human beings at a very early age are capable of recognizing the varying facial features, due to the Human Visual System (HVS). But it’s difficult to depict the human visual system using computer vision system. The basic idea used in this proposed work is to use divide and conquer method, where we design a particular approach for each processing stage and then embedding the entire strategy for AFR system. In this proposed work, two important factors namely cost efficiency and applied technology for varying characteristics of input image are considered respectively, irrespective of the traditional factors such as accuracy, retrieving rate etc. For facial detection, a heterogeneous cascaded detector based on various features is designed to increase the processing capability and detecting efficiency respectively. For facial feature extraction, sparse graph, component based direct fitting and component based texture fitting methods are used to extract the various features at different orientations.
