Slope Stability and Reliability Analysis of Earth Embankment Constructed for the Doubling of Railway Track
Authors: Srivastava Amit , Uniyal Khushboo , Singh Dileep
Published: April 2024

Embankments of greater height pose threat to its stability and require geotechnical investigation and intervention. Conventionally, limit equilibrium approach is used to estimate the factor of safety of the slope to assess its stability. Over a period of time, with experience and engineering judgments, a factor of safety of 1.4 is deemed sufficient for Indian practice. In the approach, it is inherently assumed that different sources of uncertainty due to testing errors, model transformation, and inherent variability of the geo-material are taken care of with the use of single value of factor of safety. Still, a question remains, whether the suggested factor of safety is acceptable in a given environment of uncertainty or there is a need to further utilize the probabilistic approach. The present study demonstrates how combination of First Order Reliability Method (FORM), Finite Element Method (FEM) and Response Surface Method (RSM) can be useful in the probabilistic assessment of proposed construction of new earth embankment for the doubling of a railway track. It is further highlighted that conventional factor of safety approach when used in conjunction with probabilistic analysis brings rationality in decision making. Also, based on results of slope stability and reliability analysis, it is proposed to incorporate soil nailing to further improve the stability of the earth embankment.

Rectal neuroendocrine carcinoma, though rare, is experiencing an increase in its incidence, representing approximately 1 % of all colorectal cancers. A growth in its incidence has been observed in recent decades, albeit with varying figures geographically. Research studies such as those by Dasari et al. (2017) and Scherübl et al. (2014) have indicated a significant rise in the incidence of these tumors, especially in the United States and Europe. Although it can manifest in different age groups, it is more common in middle-aged or older adults, without a clear gender predilection. Symptoms may include changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue, varying according to the degree of tumor differentiation and the presence of metastasis. We present the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with obstructive symptoms and was subsequently found to have neuroendocrine tumor post-surgery
Study of the Correlation Between Vitamins and Iron on the Antioxidant Activity of Soy Milk Yogurt Enriched with Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.)
Authors: Habibilah Rodiah , Purwayantie Sulvi
Published: April 2024

Soy milk yogurt is a functional food that has health benefits. To improve the nutritional (vitamin) and functional (antioxidant) properties of yogurt, purslane leaves are added. This study aims to determine the relationship between vitamins C, E and iron on antioxidant activity (AA) in soy milk yogurt substituted with purslane. This research method uses random group 1 factor with a ratio of soy milk: purslane (100:0; 92.5:7.5; 85:15; 77.5:22.5; 70:30). Data were analyzed using correlation-regression. The results showed that the higher the purslane enrichment, the higher the vitamin E and vitamin C and each had a strong positive correlation with AA with an influence of 88.97% and 89.16% respectively. On the other hand, the higher the addition of purslane, the lower the iron content, causing AA to increase, with an Fe effect of 91.54% and a strong negative correlation. Thus, enriching yogurt with purslane leaves only increases vitamins C and E which have a positive impact on its antioxidant activity.

Asian palm weevil, also known as red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), has long been regarded as an annoying pest of many palm trees (Arecaceae), particularly date palm. Researchers are very concerned about finding an effective management strategy to control RPW due to its well-known detrimental effects on native date palm, and its economic development. Use of essential oils and botanical extracts is receiving a lot of attention among other control methods. Because they are environmentally safe. However, this study explained the feeding toxicity of three essential oils e.g., clove, black pepper, and eucalyptus seeds against 3rd instar larvae of RPW via feeding bioassay. Results showed that mortality (%) was maximum when treated with a higher dose of clove oil as compared to the other two essential oils. Meanwhile the LC50 value of clove oil was minimal which showed a higher toxicity. Our study concluded that clove oil is useful against the immature stages of R. ferrugineus. So, we suggest that it should be properly placed in IPM strategies against this pest. To enhance the efficacy of such bioactive compounds in laboratory, more work is necessary.
The Indian soybean revolution - Ascertaining the determinants and the tipping point
Authors: SIDDHARTHA PAUL TIWARI  , S P TIWARI
Published: April 2024

The landmark Indian soy-revolution was re-visited and an analytical review undertaken for ascertaining its tipping point and the factors responsible for its occurrence and early continuation. A score of enabling determinants of this watershed occurrence was elucidated, assessed and aggregated. Several specific notes on current situation, wherever required, were provided. Soybean revolution was observed to have reached its tipping point in the later part of the year 1972. Export-orientation of soy-derivatives and earning huge profit therefrom appeared as a crucial prospective recourse that, in due course, could change the traditional Indian soybean into a commercial crop and a highly processed commodity. Consequently, Indian soymeal emerged as the characteristic hallmark of country's soy-based export. Later, a high rise in domestic use of soymeal was also experienced. Availability of rainy-season fallow-land was another vital contextual factor, with zero opportunity cost, that enabled the soybean spread in its initial and early period. The fallow land happened to be in a suitable niche with appropriate latitudinal bearings that imparted a short duration to the soybean crop, making it to feasibly fit in the available cropping system. Soybean occupied the fallow-land and it right away enhanced the cropping intensity and the unit area profitability from the land use. There was an overwhelming enthusiasm of farmers to adopt this innovation despite it being risky due to low soybean yields but profitable due to low input-cost and high procurement cost. R&D organisations providing strong and specific technical backstopping existed when soybean had a little crop-area. These contextual pre-requisites got favourably aligned with eventual market intervention by the government and parastatal agencies, and several farmer-friendly initiatives of the cooperative organisations and the industry. Soybean crop expansion, unlike that in South America, happened in a relatively environment-friendly manner. Most of the essential ingredients were indigenous. Committed industrialists, scientists and farmers with changed mind-set led to the establishment of a new global chain of business. Soybean earned substantial foreign exchange and its trickle down brought about inclusive socio-economic upliftment. A high moral support abated the efforts of calling soybean an unacceptable foreign crop. These determinants and resultant benefits helped usher in the Indian soybean revolution that continues to contribute significantly towards agricultural economy and well-being of the country.

Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) cultivation was largely confined to northern India, although climate change paved the way for crop introduction to southern parts of the country. This fall, an investigation was conducted to evaluate 68 Indian mustard genotypes in the Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad (University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad) in rabi 2018-19. The objective of the present study is to study the genetic variability for yield and yield attributes in Indian mustard. The results of genetic variability study indicated that significant genotypic variation in key traits such as secondary branches, racemes per plant, economic yield, biological yield, harvest index, seed yield, seeds per siliqua, siliqua length, number of siliqua per raceme, and oil yield. Traits like days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, and oil content exhibited low variation. Additionally, traits with high heritability, including plant height, primary branches, racemes per plant, and several yield-related parameters, showed substantial genetic advance,suggesting the potential for effective selection and rapid improvement in these characteristics.
COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO INSPIRAL MODELS
Authors: Al-Sabahi Abdulghani. , Al-Salihi Adnan.K , Yehya Fahem , Journal Albaydha University
Published: April 2024

Gravitational waves are related to black holes in the context of two-body motion. However, the two-body problems are not held in general relativity. Consequently, analytical models have been developed to describe the behavior of binary systems before they merge. During this process, gravitational waves emit as the separation between the components of the binary system decreases. These models can be categorized into two parts: models for the inspiral phase, which rely on the post-Newtonian approximation, and models for the merger phase, which are based on numerical solutions to the equations of general relativity. We implemented two distinct models for the inspiral phase to compare their agreement. We found a complete agreement in all aspects except for the timing of the detection of gravitational waves, even though both models were conducted under the same conditions.

The Policy Impact and Evaluation of Education on Poverty Reduction in Pakistan: An analysis of economy of Pakistan
Authors: Shakeel Saba , Haque Abdul , Abbasi Sajjad Hussain
Published: April 2024

Determining the variables linked to poverty like education is a critical first step in developing policies intended to end it. Designing policies for the eradication of poverty is made possible by a comprehensive understanding of the factors that generate poverty. The findings demonstrated that poverty is caused by illiteracy and dependency ratio. Poverty is found to be inversely correlated with education, the accessibility of healthcare and educational resources, and consumer inequality on CPI. The comparison of rural and urban areas showed that while the dependency ratio is more damaging in rural areas, education is comparatively more effective in urban areas for eradicating poverty. In terms of consumption disparity, the marginal effect is more pronounced in metropolitan regions, most likely as a result of the diversity of employment and educational options available there, which raises consumption inequality and education access there.

ABSTRACT The present investigation was conducted to evaluate Pseudomonas fluorescens and neem oil alongwith eight synthetic insecticides such as, Acephate 75 SP, Pseudomonas fluorescens, carbosulfan 25 DS, carbosulfan 25 EC, dimethoate 30 EC, ethofenprox 10 EC, imidacloprid 17.8 SL, monocrotophos 36 SL, neem oil and phosalone 35 EC as seed treatments at 10 ml or gm per kg of seeds against Amrasca devastans in cotton. In the experiment conducted at the research farm, imidacloprid, monocrotophos and P. fluorescens were found to be effective in reducing the leafhopper population by more than 50 per cent. Imidacloprid was found to be the most effective treatment recording the least population of 0.8/3 leaves and was followed by monocrotophos (1.23/3 leaves) which was on par with P. fluorescens (1.42/3 leaves). All other treatments were unable to reduce the leafhopper population by less than 50 per cent. In another On Farm Trial (OFT) conducted at Thirupanikarisalkulam, leafhopper population appeared 10 DAS and increased steadily. All the seed treatments were able to reduce the leafhopper population. Imidacloprid was found to be the most effective one recording the least mean population of leafhoppers (0.53 /3 leaves). Imidacloprid and monocrotophos were able to reduce the leafhopper population by 72.54 and 59.59 per cent respectively. Other treatments viz., acephate, P. fluorescens, phosalone, ethofenprox, dimethoate, neem oil, carbosulfan EC and carbosulfan DS resulted in less than 50 per cent reduction in leafhopper population compared to untreated check. Laboratory studies have shown that imidacloprid, monocrotophos and P. fluorescens improved germination and increased shoot length. Whereas neem oil had adverse effect on shoot length.

ABSTRACT Field experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farms of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Nigeria during the rainy seasons of 2006. The objectives of the study were to determine the efficacy of six plant extracts (sweetsop, chilli pepper, garlic, ginger, neem and tobacco) against the insect pests of cowpea (variety IT86D-719) and their effects on yield. The experimental field was first ploughed, harrowed and ridged= before the commencement of the planting season. Twenty one experimental plots were demarcated and arranged into seven treatment plots. The size of each plot was 4m x 3m while interspaces between adjacent plot and blocks were 1m and 2m, respectively. The level of control was assessed by calculating percentage control of each treatment. Results of the experiments showed that all the plant extract treatments were significantly better than control treatments. Similarly, yield results corresponded positively with the effectiveness of the treatments. Results of the present finding therefore, suggest the use of all the tested plant extracts particularly tobacco, sweetsop and garlic as they have been found to be very promising biopesticides in the control of cowpea insect pests in Bauchi, Nigeria.

ABSTRACT Massive seasonal invasion of the litter dwelling beetle, Luprops tristis (Fabricius, 1801) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Lupropini), into the residential buildings and their prolonged stay in a state of dormancy during the rainy season has been a serious nuisance in the rubber plantation belts of Kerala for the last three decades. The deterring defensive secretion of the beetles is the prime reason for the non-predation by any of the vertebrate or non vertebrate predators present in the breeding habitat or in the aggregation shelters. Recent efforts revealed that the weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina Fabricius, 1775) could be a potential bio-control agent of Luprops beetles. However, the possibility of its failure as a bio-control agent remains as repeated feeding on a prey item with repelling defensive gland secretion leading to development of predator reluctance and prey rejection. The present work ascertained the effect of repeated feeding of weaver ants on Luprops and the results indicate that repeated feeding did not lead to predator reluctance and point out the potential of weaver ants as an effective bio-control agent against Luprops. Low abundance of weaver ants in rubber plantations in contrast to their higher incidence in the scarce native trees in rubber plantation belts indicates that rubber tree is not a preferred host plant for weaver ants. Further, the possibility of regular feeding on Luprops that are readily available in rubber plantations, leads to questions about prey suitability and the effects on the rates of development, reproduction or survival of weaver ants which calls for post-evaluation studies in field conditions after the preliminary field trials.

The pentatomid bug, Canthecona furcellata Wolff. (Hemiptera : Pentatomidae) is predator of many lepidopterous pests. The nymphal period of C. furcellata was 14.1 days and the adult longevity of male and female were 16.8 and 24.7 days respectively. The nymphal period and adult longevity of Canthecona furcellata is long. So they reduce the population of Clostera fulgurita walk (Lepidoptera : Notodontidae) to its regular presence in poplar nurseries and plantations. The fecundity of female bug of C. furcellata with on an average is 317.6 eggs per female. The egg laying capacity of its bug is also good for minimizing the population of C. fulgurita. The size of eggs, pre-copulation, copulation period, duration of fecundity and sex ratio were also studied.
