Published: October 2023

It is with a heavy and despairing heart that I write this post. It is not particularly well-structured owing to the emotive nature of the content. The state of Georgia have now executed Troy Davis, a black man whose life didn't turn out the way America promised. In 1991, Davis was convicted of murder and sentenced him to death on the testimony of nine eyewitnesses.
Moving from Ubuntu to Fedora
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

A the time that I started writing this blog post, I was intending to extol the virtues of the newly released Fedora 15 compared to the trainwreck that is Ubuntu 11.04. It turns out the story isn't as clear cut as that, but wanted to give my experience in comparison installing across two machines. This all started when I upgraded my laptop (a Toshiba Satellite 650C) to Ubuntu 11.04 during the beta period earlier this year.
The 8th Biennial Symbiosis Conference: Day 1
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

As with my previous posts on International Pynchon Week 2010, I thought I would try to take a little time on each day of this conference to write a few words with some thoughts. Symbiosis is a conference designed to study Anglo-American relations, be that trans-atlantic, post-national, in literature and in history. Having held previous events in London, Boston and (I believe) Edinburgh, this year's conference takes place in Glasgow.
Publishing articles in PDF via XML/XSLT using Open Journal Systems 2.3.6

On Pynchon and Privacy

In a fascinating LA Times piece published today, it is remarked, in conversation with a close friend of Thomas Pynchon that: So why don't we?

Preparation and analysis of silver Nanoparticles (Ag Nps) by plant extract techniques of green tea and study optical and structural properties
Authors: Alattar Ashraf M. , Al-tememee Nathera A.
Published: October 2023

Aqueous root extract has been used to examine the green production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by reducing the Ag+ ions in a silver nitrate solution. UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to analyze the produced AgNPs. The AgNPs that were created had a maximum absorbance at 416 nm, were spherical in form, polydispersed in nature, and were 685 nm in size.The AgNPs demonstrated antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus. The dengue vector Aedes aegypti's second instar larvae were very susceptible to the AgNPs' powerful larvicidal action.
Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the ILCA 7 MKII Sail in Downwind Conditions
Authors: Magnander Gustaf , Larsson Lars
Published: October 2023

Aerodynamic coefficients from wind-tunnel tests are presented for the ILCA 7 in all six degrees of freedom. Two apparent wind speeds are considered: a light wind case corresponding to 4 m s-1 at full scale and a strong wind case corresponding to 7 m s-1. The light wind tests comprise five apparent wind angles, seven sheet angles, three kicker trims and three heel angles. For the strong wind case the dinghy is assumed sailing upright and only dead downwind, but with four sheet angles and three kicker trims. The scale is 1/7, which gives a reasonable blockage in the wind-tunnel. Blockage corrections are obtained using CFD. Correct scaling of the sail stretch, and mast bend is achieved with the full-scale sail cloth and a solid stainless-steel mast exposed to a wind speed √7 times larger than at full-scale. However, the Reynolds number is √7 times smaller. The main result of the investigation is the comprehensive data set, which is available on a public server. This data can be used in a VPP to optimise downwind sailing in smooth water. Several interesting conclusions can also be drawn directly from the data. Thus, for the light wind case the best sheet angle is 90° regardless of the course sailed. However, for the strong wind case (dead downwind), the best angle is 80°. In all cases the tight kicker trim produces the largest drive force and in the light wind case also the smallest side force.

Market Power, Democracy and (Un)Fair Elections
Authors: Bernatt Maciej
Published: October 2023

In the last eight years Poland experienced an illiberal shift. Key elements of constitutional democracy were undermined. The story is well-known to public law scholars, particularly with respect to judicial reforms. However, off most people’s radar have been the changes which increased the role of state-controlled and state-owned firms (SOEs) in the Polish economy which have supported Poland’s illiberal tendencies. Pre-election period is illustrative in this respect, with the ruling majority benefitting from various kinds of support from SOEs which undermined a level playing field. The Polish experience arguably sheds light on constitutional democracies’ weaknesses in effectively addressing the links between political and market power which can further democratic backsliding. In this blogpost, I will highlight why the existing legal framework, in particular remedies available in law aimed at imposing limits on the use of market power, i.e. competition law, are insufficient to address this risk and why a broader debate in public law is necessary in this respect.

Genetic variability and characters of association for yield and its components in pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]
Authors: Anuj Kumar  , Kamaluddin  , Vijay Sharma  , HC Singh  , Hitesh Kumar  , Alok Kumar Mourya  , Amit  Kumar
Published: October 2023

Seventy-three pigeon pea genotypes along with three checks were evaluated to assess genetic variability parameters, correlation and path coefficients among the yield and yield component traits. Analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the characters under study except number of seeds per pod and pod length. The maximum PCV and GCV were observed for days to maturity and days to 50% flowering while the minimum for number of seeds per pods. Heritability in broad sense was high for days to 50% flowering followed by biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant whereas high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for days to 50% flowering followed by days to maturity. Characters namely days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, showed positive significant correlation with seed yield both at phenotypic and genotypic level. Harvest index, days to maturity, 100-seed weight, number of primary branches per plant and pod length highest exerted positive direct effect on seed yield per plant.
Character association and molecular characterization of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.)
Authors: Tangudu Pavan Kumar  , Akash Behra  , Jitendra Kumar Tiwari
Published: October 2023

In order to select high yielding winged bean genotypes, genetic variations between the winged bean genotypes were studied to determine the genetic link between seed yield and yield contributing factors. A study was conducted during kharif season 2021-2022 on morphological and molecular characterization of 20-winged bean genotypes (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) for 10 quantitative traits along with 16 ISSR markers were used to evaluate promising and suitable genotypes for cultivation and research. According to the findings of the study, it was observed that the genotype ‘IC 112416’ exhibited the greatest pod length, measuring 17.8 cm, as well as the highest number of seeds per pod with an average value of 11.8 seed/pod. We found similar results from the study of genetic components and association analysis as PCV (24.4), GCV (23.25), heritability (90.15%) and genetic advance (45.48%). Here we have standardized a DNA extraction protocol for isolating a quantified DNA using CTAB and PVP extraction method, which is further used in different molecular studies. From the molecular analysis it was found that 12 markers were polymorphic in nature with high allelic frequency. The PIC (Polymorphic information content) of each marker is recorded and cluster analysis of molecular data is done using Jaccard’s similarity coefficient with the help of dendrogram.
Physical and engineering properties of chickpea (Cicer arietnum L.) for planter design
Authors: Man Mohan Deo  , Prasoon Verma  , CS Praharaj  , Om Prakash  , Narendra Kumar
Published: October 2023

The design of a chickpea planter and its optimum performance requires physical and engineering properties of the grain varying with cultivars. Such properties include size, shape, mass, density, static friction coefficient, and repose angle etc. The cultivars viz. JG 16, HC 5, KWR 108, IPC 4-1, IPC 5-62, DCP 92-3, IPC 4-98 and JG 14 were investigated at 11.0±1.0 per cent moisture content using standard methodology. The grain size was presented in terms of major, intermediate, minor, and geometric mean diameters as 8.49-9.78, 5.91-7.23, 5.88-6.94, and 6.68-7.89 mm, respectively. The shape of the grain was presented in terms of sphericity which ranged from 0.78-0.81. The thousand seed mass, bulk density, and true density were 198-338 g, 830-880 kg m-3, and 1310-1350 kg m-3, respectively. The static friction coefficient was the least against aluminium followed by galvanised iron and mild steel surfaces with respective ranges of 0.37-0.40, 0.41-0.45, and 0.52-0.56. The angle of repose ranged from 26.4-27.7 degrees. There was a significant varietal difference in different physical and engineering properties of chickpeas except true density and angle of repose, where the difference was non-significant.
Bioactive compounds of whole, dal, milling byproduct and fractions of milling byproduct of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)
Authors: Prasoon Verma  , Man Mohan Deo  , Vaibhav Kumar  , Krishnashis Das  , Manisha Parashar  , Deepshikha  , Narendra Kumar
Published: October 2023

Milling of pigeonpea is an essential process to improve culinary properties. Byproducts obtained from the milling have many bioactive components which can have significant favorable effects on human health. In commercial mills, pigeonpea dal recovery is about 70% against the potential dal recovery of 85%. As the seed coat is tightly attached to the cotyledons due to the presence of a gum layer in between. During abrasive dehusking, a commonly adopted method in commercial mills, about 15% of protein-rich peripheral cotyledons get mixed with seed coat. The milling byproduct thus obtained includes pulse proteins in the form of broken, powder of cotyledons, and phenol and antioxidant rich husk. The present study focuses on biochemical estimation of pigeonpea whole, dehusked splits (dal), milling byproduct, and fractions of milling byproduct. The husk and the broken fraction of milling byproduct (about 75% of the byproduct) are rich in phenolic compounds, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, whereas the remaining cotyledon powder fraction is found to be rich in protein. These components were separated and analyzed for biochemical estimations. The results indicate that cotyledon powder separated from pigeonpea milling byproduct contains the highest protein (20.6%). Husk fraction of the byproduct is reported to have maximum total phenolic content (845.55 mg GAE/100g) and total antioxidant activity (59.68 m mole TE/100 g). Dehusked splits were observed to have the highest calorific value (386.17 kcal/100g). Till now, the milling byproduct is used as low-value cattle feed. Results of the biochemical studies reveal that protein, phenol and antioxidant-rich pigeonpea milling byproduct can be utilized for the development of value-added edible products and also find applications in therapeutic usage.

Three districts, viz., Nagaur, Jodhpur, and Pali, which together contribute more than 50% of the total area under mungbean in Rajasthan, were selected for the study. Time series data were collected from 2000 01 to 2019-20 and to study the decadal performance, the entire period was bifurcated into two sub-periods: 2000-01 to 2009-10 (sub-period I) and 2010 11 to 2019-20 (sub-period II). The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), Cuddy Della Valle Index (CDVI), and Decomposition Analysis Model were employed for analysis. Results revealed that the growth rate was positive for area, production, and productivity of mungbean at the state and district levels. The instability index was found to be greater than 30 in most of the cases, which indicates the high variations in area, production, and productivity of mungbean during the reported period. The sub-period II witnessed a comparatively higher positive growth rate accompanied by a lower instability index than the sub-period I. The study further revealed that the area effect was greater than the yield effect in most of the cases, which indicates its greater share in the increase in mungbean production at state and sampled district levels. With the observed positive growth rate in area and its contribution to change in production, the state has scope to increase the area coverage under mungbean, as 55% of the districts in Rajasthan have less than 1% of the total area under cultivation.

The influence of different foliar nutrition (Urea, DAP, NPK-19:19:19, NPK 10:26:26, ZnSO4 .7H2 O, Mo and Borax) along with recommended dose of chemical fertilizer (RDF) were evaluated with one control (RDF only) on summer season mungbean cv. Samrat during 2022 at Instructional Farm under Seacom Skills University, Birbhum, West Bengal. The experiment was laid down in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with eight treatment combinations replicated thrice. The results showed that tallest plants (58.5 cm) with more number of leaves (23.9) were observed in RDF + Urea at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS) treated plots. The same treatment showed the highest number of branches per plant (17.5) with maximum DMA (284.6 g m-2) but in case of underground portion like root length recorded highest in DAP foliar spray plot. Earliest 50% flowering, early pod emergence and early picking was recorded where combined application of RDF + borax at 0.2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS). The treatment RDF + DAP at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS) augmented highest number of pods plant-1 (18.8), pod length (6.80 cm), number of seeds pod-1 (10.75), seed index (21.2 g), seed yield (845 kg/ha) and stover yield (2020 kg/ha); followed by RDF + NPK (19-19-19) at 1% and RDF + Urea at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS). Yield increase was to the tune of 3.54% to 10.74%. The gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio were maximum when the crop received RDF + DAP at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS). Hence, combined use of RDF + DAP at 2% and urea at 2% (sprayed 20 and 40 DAS) is beneficial for green gram production programme during summer season in the Red and Lateritic soils of West Bengal.

Managing business model innovation in a changing environment: the case of SMEs in the pharmaceutical sector
Authors: CHABANET Didier , DO VALE Guillaume , WEPPE Xavier
Published: October 2023

This paper seeks to understand how owner-managers’ perceptions of environmental changes led them to adapt their business model (BM). Drawing on 43 interviews with independent pharmacist in Belgium (19) and Italy (24), we demonstrate how some owner-managers focus on their macro-environment leading them to consider environmental changes as a threat. They feel they are unable to adapt their BM or only provide minor adaptation. However, some owner-managers focus both on their micro and macro-environment, sometimes beyond the traditional pharmacy sector, to identify opportunities. They then extricate themselves from the constraints perceived in the environment to proceed with significant BM innovation by building a specific ecosystem.
