Damage to agricultural crops and property, killing of livestock and human beings are some of the worst forms of man-animal conflict. One of the main challenges in and around any reserve forest area is to avoid or at least to minimize the incidences of man-animal conflict. An attempt has been made to analyze one of the main reasons (acute shortage of water in forest areas) behind such conflicts and suggest remedial measures to minimize this menace by adopting appropriate watershed management techniques.

These unfavorable environmental conditions include high salinity, toxin compounds, heavy metals, unfavorable temperature, and extremely acidic and alkaline pH. Microorganisms belonging to prokaryotes include true bacteria and archaea bacteria which prevail in harsh environments. In recent years, extremophilic, basically, archaea bacteria have been reported for their immense potential application in the bioremediation process. Bioremediation is a technique that utilizes microorganisms for the decomposition of organic and inorganic pollutants; anthropogenic activities are the basic cause of soil pollution, water pollution, and air pollution globally. Extremophiles are capable of producing enzymes that are thermolabile and can function normally even in extreme conditions. These enzymes and proteins can be utilized in the bioremediation process under extreme pH, heavy metal stress, and unfavorable tem...

To analyse the thermodynamic performance of steam-injected gas turbine (STIGT) cycles, a methodology based on pinch analysis is proposed. This graphical methodology is a systematic approach proposed for a selection of gas turbine with steam injection. The developed graphs are useful for selection of steam-injected gas turbine (STIGT) for optimal operation of it and helps designer to take appropriate decision. The selection of steam-injected gas turbine (STIGT) cycle can be done either at minimum steam ratio (ratio of mass flow rate of steam to air) with maximum efficiency or at maximum steam ratio with maximum net work conditions based on the objective of plants designer. Operating the steam injection based advanced gas turbine plant at minimum steam ratio improves efficiency, resulting in reduction of pollution caused by the emission of flue gases. On the other hand, operating plant at maximum steam ratio can result in maximum work output and hence higher available power.

Normally, resumption from diplotene arrest occurs in response to pituitary gonadotrophin surge at puberty. However, gonadotrophin-independent meiotic exit from diplotene arrest was reported in rabbit oocytes cultured in vitro and thereafter in several mammalian species. Since no obvious stimulus is required, scientists consider it as spontaneous exit from diplotene arrest that initiates oocyte maturation in vitro. Emerging evidence suggests that in vitro culture conditions do not meet to the follicular microenvironment and result in generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in oocytes. A moderate increase of ROS modulates 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) as well as Ca2+ levels and initiates downstream pathways to destabilize maturation promoting factor (MPF). MPF destabilization results in meiotic exit from diplotene arrest under in vitro culture conditions. Thus, spontaneous exit from diplotene arrest under in vitro culture conditions in mammalian oocyte is ROS-mediated.

Unfortunately, far too many people lack meaningful opportunities to obtain such employment. Analy sis of employment in several older industrial cities, for example, suggests that these cities would need to add hundreds of thousands of jobs to match employment rates in their regional metropolitan areas (Giloth and Meier 2012). Our track rec ord for closing employment gaps has been less than hoped, especially for black men and communities of color, and predictions about the future of work from automation suggest further erosion of equitable employment opportunities (Avent 2016). Jobs and careers are building blocks for house hold economies and families, healthy neighborhoods, competitive regions, and robust civic life (Wilson 1996, Wiewel and. Work is a fundamental way we or ga nize our lives, build social networks, and create meaning for ourselves. A job and career provide economic resources, benefits, information, and well-being essential for pursuing a good life. Jobs are a foundation for equitable opportunity and citizenship. Economic and workforce development became core features of local and regional planning during the past fifty years. Mainstream approaches focus on overall real estate and business growth, big infrastructure, downtown revitalization, tourism, and new industries like biotechnology. An alternative approach, "equity planning," is the focus of this chapter. In contrast to traditional economic

The results indicated that the organic waste was highest among other components of the wastes. A considerable proportion of organic carbon was found which causes the health problem to the dwellers of the city. In order to avoid this situation small community bins are placed in the nook & corner of the city, in addition the litterbins are provided as per requirement. Disposal vehicles, small auto rickshaws, hand carts and tricycles are provided to maximize the collection of waste. Still the facilities are inadequate, and it is an ardent need to improve the solid waste. Moreover the authorities of municipal council are apathetic towards MSWM. Considering al these factors such as increasing population & industrialization the strategy should be well developed and formulated

The parameters of the study include the curing periods 3, 7, 9, 12,15,18,21, 24 and 28 days for <25° C, curing techniques adopted were air and captivation under water using Portland Pozzolona Cement. The specimen cubes were cast and cured under dissimilar conditions prior to testing. The study demonstrates that the method and duration of curing to a great extent affects the strength of concrete. Hence, excellent management of proper field curing is of the extreme significance. On the basis of interpretation of the results the following outcomes were made. Firstly, full time curing for 3 days and then air curing up to 15 days for <25° C gave desirable compressive strength of 15.90 N/ mm2 and was seemed adequate & justified. Secondly,5,7,9 and 12 days full time curing with air curing up to 15 days for <25° C later was found to produce the concrete with sufficient strength, more tha...

The presented methodology is quite economical. Besides fulfillment of the proposed objective, the method involves added advantage of getting rid of evil non biodegradable plastic waste from the environment. After application of presented method, improves not only the quality of repair of joints and cracks but also the projected life of building. One of the major provisions under the new Rules is the explicit recognition of the role of waste pickers from the waste disposal sites and streets. Their role is recognized with the proposed coined term "Environmental Angels". We would also like to contribute our future generation to save our environment from the "Evil-Plastic Waste" widely used in day to day life.

Not just speaking proverbially, but in truest ever sense, precise prediction of earthquakes has long been a question of Life & Death for the scared inhabitants of earthquake-prone areas and so is for the forecasters and scientists ranging from Nostradamus to Dr. Vladimir Kellis-Borok since last a few centuries. Though the experts still don’t know many of the details of the physical processes involved and how to predict these events, several prediction and chaos theories have been put forth with varying degrees of successes. In spite of the inherent complexities involved in such a complex system, the research is still on and on. The time-predictable model of earthquake prediction is based on the theory that earthquakes in fault zones are caused by the constant build-up and release of strain in the Earth...
