Kandhamal district situated in central part of Orissa receives an annual rainfall of 1396mm and this region is highly prone to soil and runoff loss due to heavy rainfall during kharif. A trial was conducted during 2001-04 to study the effect of conservation trenches on plantation crop. This trial was conducted on farmers field of Sudreju village of Kandhamal district under National Agricultural Technology Project(NATP, RRPS-7) with the following objectives.1.To conserve moisture for establishment of plantation crop. 2.To reduce erosion from upstream area.3 To increase production of timber, fruit species, fuel wood and fodder .The following treatments were tried.1.No treatment.2.Continuous V-ditches at 10m horizontal interval.3 Continuous V-ditches at 20m horizontal interval.4.V-ditches staggered at 5m horizontal interval. 5 V-ditches staggered at 10m horizontal interval. Mango varieties Pusa Amrapalli was tried during kharif and during, rabi Black gram (PU-30) was tried in between mango rows. It is observed that in, cont. contour V-ditch at 10m interval rate of growth was 2.06 cm/month in case of Amrapalli , which is 46 %higher compared to control. The grain yield of niger, black gram & mustard are 33.4%, 23.5 % &26.6 % higher than control respectively. Though the cost of construction is little high it is recommended to practice contour V-ditch at 10m intervals, to conserve soil and moisture and to get more grain yield in degraded watershed of Kandhamal district

The word ethics borrowed from Greek means spirit of culture. According to Oxford dictionary, it is a moral principle that governs or influences a person’s behavior. Ethics are the fundamental principle in any organization and these are the foundations for the survival and success of business concern. Many organizations develop a code of conduct for their employees; such codes are after prescriptive and set out specific guidelines for their employee’s conduct. In India, there are many scripture’s like Vedas, The Gita and The Ramayana. The ideals contained in these scriptures are universally applicable and there are no contradictions to them. Our Vedas and post Vedic concepts have a lot to contribute in management practices. In companies such as Enron, World Com, Satyam Computers and the most of late dotcoms. Now the management has taken steps to enrich the total personality of the employees, who are treated more as associates in the organization rather than mere instruments of production. This paper is an attempt to describe some of the basic principles of ethics, which are mostly concerned in managing accounting in the business world.

High levels of eosinophils are important in several diseases such as allergy and parasitic infections. Eosinophilia has been associated with parasitic diseases mainly when the parasite invades the tissues and promotes damage at mucosal surfaces. In this paper, we evaluated the expression of the costimulatory molecules MHC II, CD80 and CD86 during the peak of eosinophilia to investigate if eosinophils have a phenotype potential to act as APC. To this end, we used syndrome of visceral larva migran (VLMS) model, a parasitic disease caused by Toxocara canis, one of the most frequent helminthes in dog puppies. Our results showed increased expression of CD80 and MHC II. In general, the enhanced expression of CD80 and MHC II and lowest CD86 expression may be correlated with cytokine production, since there was also an increase in IL- 4 and IL- 5. The increase in CD80 expression suggests the activation of the antigen specific immune response of T. canis occurs efficiently. Thus, we suggest a potential role of eosinophils to act as APC in VLMS experimental model.

Security is the primary concern in any system especially in case of communication where everything is relies on cooperation among other. In this article we analyze the impact of the most dangerous attacks of wireless mess network called blackhole attack that can totally disrupt the network. Behavioral anomaly detection using SVM (SUPPORTED VECTOR MACHINE) is an attractive choice to monitor the suspicious activity like black hole. For the detection of balckhole attack we will uses the behavior parameters of node (relaying node) (PDR (PACKET DELIVERY RATIO), throughput), by analyzing the node behavior the malicious activity of the node can deprive the traffic from the source node.In order to prevent this kind of attack, it is crucial to detect the abnormality occurs during the attack. In conventional schemes, anomaly detection is achieved by defining the normal state from static training data. However, in mobile ad hoc networks where the network topology dynamically changes, such static training method could not be used efficiently.

Vermicompost has been promoted as a viable alternative container media component for the horticulture industry. The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of vermicompost at different points in the production cycle of eucalyptus seedlings. The incorporation of vermicompost of city refuse origin into germination media up to 20% v/v enhanced shoot and root weight, leaf area, and shoot:root ratios of seedlings; however amendment with vermicompost had little influence on seed germination. Moreover there was no effect on the germination of seed of any species. When seedlings of eucalyptus were transplanted into 6-cell packs there was greater plant growth in media amended with vermicompost compared to the control media, and the greatest growth when vermicompost was amended into both the germination and transplant media. This effect was increased when seedlings in the transplant media were irrigated with water containing fertilizer.
