Authors: Mishra Arvind , Tripathi C.P.M.
Published: January 2023

The present study has been undertaken to investigate the biochemical alterations in teleost fish Mystus vittatus after chronic exposure to sublethal concentrations of paper mill effluent for 30 days. a quantitative estimation of DNA and RNA material was made in liver and gonadal tissues throughout the reproductive cycle of the fish. The biochemical variables studied in the control fish showed the maximum values during the spawning phase as compared to other phases of the reproductive cycle of the fish. The changes produced in the nucleic acid content on account of chronic exposure of the fishes for 30 days to 0.4 (40%) and 0.8(80%) of 96 h LC50 of WRBBILE stress were found to be close dependent, being relatively much higher in case of 0.8 WRPBILE when compared to 0.4 WRPBILE. This phenomenon was observed during the three phases of the annual reproductive cycle of the fish. The DNA as well as RNA contents in liver, testis and ovary tissues showed a reduction in case of both the sublethal concentration of effluent in all the three phases of the reproductive cycle. The changes produced by WRPBILE stress were found to statistically very significant in all the phases except in the case of RNA content of testis during the post spawning phase of the fishes exposed to 0.4 WRPBILE. The present study concludes stress induced depletion might be due to degradation of cells, nuclear material and metabolic dysfunction in response to WRPBILE toxicity in the fish.

Species composition and diversity of tree species along an altitudinal gradient in Sewa catchment of north-western Himalayas, Jammu and Kashmir, India
Authors: Raina Anil K. , Sharma Neeraj
Published: January 2023

Species diversity along altitudinal and latitudinal gradient differs in different tree layers at different scales. Thirteen community groups characterized by different dominants in the tree layer were encountered within an altitudinal range of 580 m asl to 3500 m asl and above in Sewa catchment of Bani region, district Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir. The sub-tropical and temperate elements of vegetation reveal predominance of closed canopy forests, wherein the sub-tropical tree species outnumber the temperate tree flora. The pattern of plant diversity as observed by the values of species richness and diversity indices show a decreasing trend from lower to higher altitudes. The study suggests that distribution and species richness are largely regulated by physiography (altitude, latitude, slope, aspect etc.) and climatic factors.

Authors: Rein Peter
Published: January 2023

Exposure to sugar cane operations around the world has led to conclusions about what distinguishes an excellent operation from an average or mediocre one. This article evaluates the hallmarks of a mill that lead to efficient performance, from cane harvesting through the individual unit operations to the production of sugar, ethanol and energy. The process of cane harvesting and transport impacts the juice purity, which has a major impact on sugar recovery. Conditions in processing affect losses and color formation and the aim is to minimize temperatures and residence times in the process steps, while also minimizing the opportunities for any micro-biological losses. High massecuite exhaustions in the pan house are vital in this respect and affect steam requirements due to lower recycling in the pan house. The requirements for maximum export power include reducing process steam usage and low processing energy requirements.

However, there are still many who are not in accordance with the appropriate language rules for class VII junior high school students. (2). Graphical aspects presented in textbooks for class VII students in social studies lessons are not in accordance with the education unit level. Books can be classified into three sections, namely elementary level users for students aged 6-10 years, intermediate students aged 10-14 years, and Advanced for students aged 14 years and over. As for Class VII students in the Intermediate category aged 10-14 years. Graphic aspects must be made interesting with illustrations that are also interesting but simple.

On a Characterization of Lattice Cubes via Discrete Isoperimetric Inequalities
Authors: Iglesias David , Lucas Eduardo
Published: January 2023

We obtain a characterization of lattice cubes as the only sets that reach equality in several discrete isoperimetric-type inequalities associated with the $L_{\infty}$ norm, including well-known results by Radcliffe and Veomett. We furthermore provide a new isoperimetric inequality for the lattice point enumerator that generalizes previous results, and for which the aforementioned characterization also holds.

The problem of interacting in the distance learning education process comes to the forefront, especially in applied and in-studio courses such as design education. To increase this, a unilateral effort is not enough; a different mutual effort is required compared to face-to-face education. One of these efforts is the construction of the learning environment. Based on this, this study focuses on how studio education students organize their physical learning environments during their distance education process. In this study, it is aimed to observe transformations caused by the learning process in the home components. The study was held with students who received design studio course at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Department of Architecture and Karabük University, Industrial Design and Graphic Design departments. The search in the process of creating a personal learning space, the relationships between old-new positions or situations, and the reasons for which these transformations are needed are examined. The ability to establish this interaction even in different environments will carry the perception and awareness of learning to a different point and enable the discovery of unique processes in a personal sense. The current position can be considered an intertwined ‘breaking’ moment when everything becomes complicated and seems unresolved. In this study, which is a search for spatial arrangements made by students within their possibilities, the primary research question is ‘how does spatial transformation take place during the pandemic?’. This study reveals how students create learning codes for the physical space in which they will perform creative thinking and how these codes are reflected in the transformation of physical space. It is thought that codes related to personal learning can be developed with the hypothesis stating that efficient production stages can be realized by solving location-related problems with experience.

Most people have favourite colour which has a significant influence on what makes or ruins their fit in the choice of garment. This study assessed the factors responsible for colour preference among undergraduates at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in the selection of 186 respondents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics, types of colours commonly worn, the colour preference among undergraduates and factors responsible for colour preference in garment selection. Data were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, mean and Rank. Results showed that the mean age, gender, marital status, and ethnicity of the respondents were 24 years, male (56.8%), female (43.2%), single (86.9%) and (70.5%) from the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, respectively. The respondents indicated that the garment colours commonly worn were black (25%), blue (22.2%), red (14%), green, pink, and burgundy (6.8%) each, yellow (5.7%), brown (4.5%), purple (3.4%), navy blue (2.3%), lemon (1.1%), and only 0.6% often wear orange and white. Furthermore, the perception of respondents on which sex is likely to select these colours during garment selection reveals that blue colour had the highest percentage for males (81.3%) while pink (1.7%) was the least. On the other hand, for females, pink (92.6%) is selected the most and blue (10.7%) the least, while black and white are perceived to be generally selected by both genders with percentages of 69.3% and 76.1%, respectively. The factors considered in the selection of garments revealed that respondents agreed to all statements with mean scores above 2.50 of the decision rules. Complexion (=3.85) ranked first when making the choice of garment colour, respondents considered the occasion or daily activity (=3.75) as second, while emotions and climatic conditions/weather (=3.49) ranked third. Religion (=3.46), garment design (=3.44), physique/body shape (=3.41) ranked 5th, 6th, and 7th respectively. Sex/gender was the least ranking factor, although the mean value was also significant (=3.35). In conclusion, black, blue, and red were commonly worn colours selected by the respondents. Black and white colour is generally selected by both genders; males prefer blue while pink for females showing that gender consideration is also important in the choice of colour in garment selection. It is therefore recommended that individuals should give a thought to the careful selection of their garment colours which trigger their excitement, cheerfulness, and inspiration. Colours that complement the wearer’s physique, height, shape, complexion as well as gender should be considered.

The paper considers an automatic control system for a small gas turbine engine. The synthesis of a controller providing an increase in the speed of the control system was carried out using the standard procedures of the Matlab system. The transfer function of the control object is obtained with interval coefficients that take into account the possible effects of the uncertainties of the models under study. A graphical method of displaying the obtained results in the form of displaying the fuzzy branches of the root locus on the complex plane is used, which clearly shows the robust absolute stability of the system under study. The superiority of the proposed result over the existing ones is demonstrated by numerical examples. The simulation performed in the Matlab environment confirmed the correctness of the obtained results.
