description: A study has been conducted during 2003 -2007 for Medico floristic evaluation and compilation of indigenous knowledge of the people of the River Island Majuli. The people of Majuli are very poor and are not acquaintance with recent scientific developments. The area is also inhabited by a number of communities namely, Deori, Mising, Koch, Kachari, Brahmin, Kalita, Kalibatra, Kayastha, Nath, Chutia, Bengali etc. traditionally using medicinal plants for curing and control of several diseases. About 52 plant species were recorded from villages of two sub-divisions viz. Kamalabari and Garamur of Majuli that used as anti-diabetes. Among the recorded species near about 50% are wild and indigenous. Out of the 52 species almost all were recorded to use as plant extracts. Different plant parts of the species were utilized such as leaves of 16 plant species, fruits of 10 plant species, tender shoots of 5 plant species, seeds of 5 plant species, whole plant of 4 species, rhizome of 4 plants, stem and stem bark of 3 plant, flowers of 3 plant, bulbs of 2 plants and root of 1 plant species. Phytomedicines are commonly practices by the ethnic of Majuli mainly by tribes and Bhakat (Devotee) of Satra and method of indigenous preparation for prevention, curing and control of diabetes reported.
On the exact analytic expressions for the equitemporal surfaces in Gamma-Ray Burst afterglows

description: We have recently shown (see Bianco & Ruffini 2004) that marked differences exist between the EQuiTemporal Surfaces (EQTSs) for the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows numerically computed by the full integration of the equations of motion and the ones found in the current literature expressed analytically on the grounds of various approximations. In this Letter the exact analytic expressions of the EQTSs are presented both in the case of fully radiative and adiabatic regimes. The new EQTS analytic solutions validate the numerical results obtained in Bianco & Ruffini (2004) and offer a powerful tool to analytically perform the estimates of the physical observables in GRB afterglows.

description: The version of the cosmological perturbation theory based on exact resolution of energy constraint is developed in accordance with the diffeomorphisms of general relativity in the Dirac Hamiltonian approach. Such exact resolution gives one a possibility to fulfil the Hamiltonian reduction and to explain the ``CMBR primordial power spectrum'' and other topical problems of modern cosmology by quantization of the energy constraint and quantum cosmological origin of matter.

description: We find a rich variety of counterintuitive features in the steady states of a qubit array coupled to a dissipative source and sink at two arbitrary sites, using a master equation approach. We show there are setups where increasing the pump and loss rates establishes long-range coherence. At sufficiently strong dissipation, the source or sink effectively generates correlation between its neighboring sites, leading to a striking density-wave order for a class of "resonant" geometries. This effect can be used more widely to engineer nonequilibrium phases. We show the steady states are generically distinct for hard-core bosons and free fermions, and differ significantly from the ones found before in special cases. They are explained by generally applicable ansatzes for the long-time dynamics at weak and strong dissipation. Our findings are relevant for existing photonic setups.

A random tunnel number one 3-manifold does not fiber over the circle

description: We address the question: how common is it for a 3-manifold to fiber over the circle? One motivation for considering this is to give insight into the fairly inscrutable Virtual Fibration Conjecture. For the special class of 3-manifolds with tunnel number one, we provide compelling theoretical and experimental evidence that fibering is a very rare property. Indeed, in various precise senses it happens with probability 0. Our main theorem is that this is true for a measured lamination model of random tunnel number one 3-manifolds. The first ingredient is an algorithm of K Brown which can decide if a given tunnel number one 3-manifold fibers over the circle. Following the lead of Agol, Hass and W Thurston, we implement Brown's algorithm very efficiently by working in the context of train tracks/interval exchanges. To analyze the resulting algorithm, we generalize work of Kerckhoff to understand the dynamics of splitting sequences of complete genus 2 interval exchanges. Combining all of this with a "magic splitting sequence" and work of Mirzakhani proves the main theorem. The 3-manifold situation contrasts markedly with random 2-generator 1-relator groups; in particular, we show that such groups "fiber" with probability strictly between 0 and 1.

Exhibiting integrity : archival diplomatics to study moving images
Creators: name: Miller, April G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the concepts of reliability, authenticity and documentary form as defined by archival diplomatics and their relation to moving image records, for the purpose of exploring the possibility of using them to develop a method for the preservation of the moving image's intellectual integrity over time. To achieve this purpose, the study establishes a correspondence between the tenriinology and the theories used to express these concepts in the two fields through an examination of archival diplomatics and moving images glossaries, dictionaries and literature. Notwithstanding the different understandings of the concepts examined, the thesis finds that when moving images can be regarded as records - that is, as contextual mediated visual and aural representations compiled for the purpose.of.entering into communication - it is possible to use archival diplomatics methodology to analyze them successfully. On the strength of this finding, the thesis proceeds to establish a correspondence between the diplomatic elements of documentary form and the components of an ideal moving image record, demonstrating parallels and explaining and reconciling differences, in order to build a template for the analysis of all kinds of moving image records. This diplomatic instrument is to be used for the identification of the formal elements of a moving image that allow for the maintenance, verification and preservation of its reliability and authenticity over the long term. The necessity of such an instrument derives from the fact that the use of digital technologies for the making, exhibiting and storing of moving images will render the ability to prove their integrity and their preservation increasingly more difficult. The thesis is concluded by a discussion relating the effects of the pervasive use of digital technologies in the field of moving images, and a demonstration of the substantial threat they present for the continuing reliability and authenticity of moving images. This discussion shows the advantages of a close cooperative effort by archivists and moving image theorists in developing interdisciplinary methods for addressing such threats that are rooted in archival diplomatics and fully respect the nature of the moving image record.

description: In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate low noise 300GHz wave generation based on a Kerr microresonator frequency comb operating in soliton regime. The spectral purity of a 10GHz GPS-disciplined dielectric resonant oscillator is transferred to the 300GHz repetition rate frequency of the soliton comb through an optoelectronic phase-locked loop. Two adjacent comb lines beat on a uni-travelling carrier photodiode emitting the 300GHz millimeter-wave signal into a waveguide. In an out-of-loop measurement we have measured the 300GHz power spectral density of phase noise to be -88dBc/Hz, -105dBc/Hz at 10kHz, 1MHz Fourier frequency, respectively. The free-running fractional frequency instability at 300GHz is $1 \times 10^{-9}$ at 1 second averaging time. Stabilized to a GPS signal, we report an in-loop residual instability of $2 \times 10^{-15}$ at 1 second which averages down to < $1 \times 10^{-17}$ at 1000 seconds. Such system provides a promising path to the realization of compact, low power consumption millimeter-wave oscillators with low noise performance for out-of-the-lab applications.

Mergers and Concentration in Food Retailing: Implications for Performance and Merger Policy

description: This research report is based upon the author's testimony before the Subcommittee on Monopolies and Commercial Law, Committee of the Judiciary, U.S. House of Representatives, on May 11, 1988. Tabulated data from the Bureau of Census and industry publications indicate that seller concentration for grocery stores and supermarkets in local Standard Metropolitan Areas (SMA) markets is increasing. Unless merger enforcement policy is tightened, horizontal mergers will accelerate this trend. This conclusion is based upon two facts: the F.T.C. finds market shares in excess of 50 percent acceptable; and very few of the nations' more than 250 SMA's are now served by such dominant firms. Research on entry barriers and seller concentration-price relationships in grocery retailing, summarized in this report suggest, from the perspective of performance, that federal merger enforcement policy is lax. Recent horizontal mergers affecting 16 SMA markets have produced leading firms with market shares in excess of 50 percent in some markets. Resulting increases in market power, the author estimates, will increase prices in these 16 SMA markets forcing consumers to pay 469 million dollars more for food each year. Policy changes called for include: returning to enforcement policy based upon empirical assessment of industrial organization; eschewing the de facto monopolization standard applied to recent mergers and returning to the incipiency standard of Section 7 of the Clayton Act; and contrary to the recent Monfort decision, allowing competitors, including targets of hostile takeovers, more access to the courts to sue on antitrust grounds to stop mergers.

description: Space coronagraph Metis on board of the Solar Orbiter offers us new capabilities for studying eruptive prominences and coronal mass ejections (CME). Its two spectral channels, hydrogen L$α$ and visible-light (VL) will provide, for the first time, co-aligned and co-temporal images to study dynamics and plasma properties of CMEs. Moreover, with the VL channel (580 - 640 nm) we find an exciting possibility to detect the helium D$_3$ line (587.73 nm) and its linear polarization. The aim of this study is to predict the diagnostics potential of this line regarding the CME thermal and magnetic structure. For a grid of models we first compute the intensity of the D$_3$ line together with VL continuum intensity due to Thomson scattering on core electrons. We show that the Metis VL channel will detect a mixture of both, with predominance of the helium emission at intermediate temperatures between 30 - 50,000 K. Then we use the code HAZEL to compute the degree of linear polarization detectable in the VL channel. This is a mixture of D$_3$ scattering polarization and continuum polarization. The former one is lowered in the presence of a magnetic field and the polarization axis is rotated (Hanle effect). Metis has the capability of measuring $Q/I$ and $U/I$ polarization degrees and we show their dependence on temperature and magnetic field. At $T$=30,000 K we find a significant lowering of $Q/I$ which is due to strongly enhanced D$_3$ line emission, while depolarization at 10 G amounts roughly to 10 \%.

description: Using the case of shade-grown coffee, this paper examines the market impacts of "eco-labels" for credence attributes. First, the Mattoo and Singh (1994) test is conducted for the case of shade-grown coffee to investigate the market impacts of a shade label. This analysis in Section II shows that a shade label could "pass" the test, but the market impacts are likely to be minor. Section II also shows how to use estimates of supply, potential demand, and price elasticities of demand and supply to predict eco-label premiums in the post-label equilibrium. And second, given the importance of consumer demands for eco-label impacts, and since the theoretical foundations of demand for eco-labeled items are not well developed in the literature, Section III takes a closer look at the microeconomics of labels and consumer demand. A nested constant-elasticity-of-substitution preference structure is used to derive theoretically consistent Marshallian demands for shade and non-shade coffee. A numerical simulation shows how relative prices and consumer preferences for the credence attribute and variety are both important factors in demand creation of labeled items.

They do not answer another question: {\em why crossing phantom divide occurs recently?} Since in many existing models whose equation-of-state parameter can cross the phantom divide, $w$ undulates around -1 randomly, {\em why are we living in an epoch $w

description: In this proceedings contribution I review recent work in kinetic theory which demonstrates that, for system undergoing Bjorken expansion, there exists an attractor in all moments of the one-particle distribution function. I discuss how this attractor emerges in both exact solutions obtained in relaxation time approximation (RTA) and the effective kinetic theory approach to high-temperature quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The QCD effective kinetic theory collisional kernel used includes both elastic (2 2) and LPM-resummed inelastic (2 1) contributions. The results obtained indicate that a pseudothermal attractor exists in both RTA and QCD kinetic theory and that their respective attractors can be extended to early times when the system is far from equilibrium. Finally, I discuss how knowledge of the QCD effective kinetic theory attractor can be used to assess different hydrodynamic freeze-out prescriptions used in heavy-ion phenomenology. The results obtained show that improved freeze-out prescriptions such as anisotropic hydrodynamics perform better in conditions corresponding to those generated in high-multiplicity pA and pp collisions, e.g. short lifetime and high inverse Reynolds number.

description: Susceptibility of seeds to fungal invasion, proliferation and elaboration of mycotoxins is one of the major factors for the low quality and productivity. The present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of fungal infestation on biochemical content of seeds of two important oil-yielding species namely S. oleoides and S. persica as well as certain physicochemical characteristics of fatty oil. Seeds from ground lying fruits of the two species were collected and segregated into three groups based on level of infestation. Altogether eight dominant fungi were isolated and identified as Aspergillus candidus, A. flavus, A. niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizopus nigricans and Sclerotium rolfsii based on specified characteristics. Results of the biochemical analysis showed significant decrease in fatty oil, crude protein and carbohydrate contents across the different infestation levels as compared to healthy seeds. The acid values of fatty oil from seeds of S. oleoides and S. persica constantly increased to a higher value all through at the level of infestation. Further increase in soponification value and decrease in iodine number of the fatty oils was also recorded all over the infestation levels. The results are in agreement with the previous studies on similar aspects with various other oilseeds.

description: This paper presents a unique empirical analysis of Salop and Scheffman's raising rival's cost theory of predation. The cost efficiency of cooperative wholesaling organizations including the nations largest, Wakefern Food Corporation, are highly susceptible to throughput volume. The Royal Ahold/Pathmark offer to purchase Wakefern's largest member via a bankruptcy proceeding that attempted to supercede its membership contract, if consummated, would have reduced Wakefern's volume by 13 percent. It also would have triggered a domino effect of other member exits because it would have raised the costs of supplying remaining members. This report marshals the available empirical evidence to demonstrate that the predatory move by Royal Ahold and Pathmark would most likely be very profitable for them because it would have diminished competition in many markets where they compete with ShopRite supermarkets. Thus in this case, the move is credible.

description: The study was aimed to explore the possibilities for the utilization of water extract of fruits of Curry leaf tree as a source of natural dye for textile finishing. Fruit pulp of curry tree was at first hydrodistilled using Clevenger type apparatus to isolate essential oil. The left over water extract was used as dye for dyeing silk and wool fabrics. Solid content of water extract was determined in order to maintain the uniform dye concentration throughout the experiments which was recorded as 7.25% on moisture free basis. Silk and wool fabrics were dyed using common mordants like alum, copper sulphate, potassium dichromate, iron salts and tin salts with post mordnating technique. The material to liquor ratio (M:L) for dyeing of silk and wool fabrics was kept at 1:30, dye concentration 0.4% at temperature 95-980C and duration of dyeing silk and wool was 45 min. Mordanting was carried out using mordant solutions (0.5%) in distilled water. All the dyed and mordanted silk and wool samples were tested for their L*, a*, b*, C*, ho and K/S values. The outcome of the research work has led to the development of shades on silk and wool fabrics using curry tree fruit extract which is strikingly significant for the natural dyes sector.

description: This research report provides a comprehensive description of the organization and performance of the food retailing industry. During the 1980s, the industry's operations and financial structure were dramatically altered by mergers and leveraged buyouts. Thus, it provides an excellent case for the study of "market for corporate control" theories that expect "good" management to take over "bad" management, thereby increasing the economic efficiency of an industry. The merger and leveraged buyout (LBO) wave in food retailing undoubtedly did benefit stock holders; however, a more efficient allocation of resources was not the primary source of these gains. Mergers and LBOs contributed to the trend towards fewer, larger supermarkets owned by large chains. The industry has split into strategic groups based upon store formats. The superstore and warehouse supermarket groups are most prominent, and have offered consumers a wide array of price service mixes. Entry barriers have, if anything, become more substantial as sunk costs in very large retail complexes and start up promotional expenses have increased. Also, as market concentration and segmentation have increased, the ability of leading firms to engage in strategic games that deter entry has increased. Given the industry's immediate need for cash flow to service the large amounts of debt that came with the mergers and LBOs, this industry has accelerated its adoption of cost reducing technology, most notably in store computers and check out scanners. The industry has also used its bargaining power against input suppliers to obtain lower prices and it has exercised market power in retail markets to increase revenues and net cash flow. Although 15 of the top 20 supermarket chains merged or underwent a buyout and, subsequently, were highly leveraged with debt, unlike highly leveraged firms in other industries, non of these firms has failed. The industry leaders have survived due to their ability to reduce costs and raise prices to generated higher cash flows to service debt.

description: The charge transfer antiferromagnetic (T$_{N}$ =220 K) insulator EuNiO$_{3}$ undergoes, at ambient pressure, a temperature-induced metal insulator MI transition at T$_{MI}$=463 K. We have investigated the effect of pressure (up to p~20 GPa) on the electronic, magnetic and structural properties of EuNiO$_{3}$ using electrical resistance measurements, ${151}^$Eu nuclear resonance scattering of synchrotron radiation and x-ray diffraction, respectively. With increasing pressure we find at p$_{c}$ =5.8 GPa a transition from the insulating state to a metallic state, while the orthorhombic structure remains unchanged up to 20 GPa. The results are explained in terms of a gradual increase of the electronic bandwidth with increasing pressure, which results in a closing of the charge transfer gap. It is further shown that the pressure-induced metallic state exhibits magnetic order with a lowervalue of T$_{N}$ (T$_{N}$ ~120 K at 9.4 GPa) which disappears between 9.4 and 14.4 GPa.

description: The pulp and paper industries discharge of a large amount of effluent as wastewater in the surrounding streams thereby causing serious health and environmental problems. These large quantities of effluents need to be characterized for evolving proper treatment strategy prior to their disposal. Physicochemical characteristics of effluents from agro-based paper mills located in Uttarakhand state of India were analyzed in terms of pH, colour, TS, TDS, TSS, turbidity, BOD, COD, and AOX. The effluent samples collected from different processing units of the paper mill varied considerably across the discharge streams. The mean values pH, colour, TS, TDS, TSS, turbidity, BOD, COD, and AOX were found in the range of 2.559.8±0.05, 4102802 PCU, 1980.652785.79 ppm, 1650.672470.35 ppm, 315.44401.35 ppm, 73.22349.37 NTU, 170.32670.42, 705.522000.55 ppm, and 14.9840.82 respectively. The result shows that all the studied physicochemical parameters of effluents at different processing units of the mill are higher than the permissible standards that need proper treatment for their safe disposal.

description: Spam phone calls have been rapidly growing from nuisance to an increasingly effective scam delivery tool. To counter this increasingly successful attack vector, a number of commercial smartphone apps that promise to block spam phone calls have appeared on app stores, and are now used by hundreds of thousands or even millions of users. However, following a business model similar to some online social network services, these apps often collect call records or other potentially sensitive information from users' phones with little or no formal privacy guarantees. In this paper, we study whether it is possible to build a practical collaborative phone blacklisting system that makes use of local differential privacy (LDP) mechanisms to provide clear privacy guarantees. We analyze the challenges and trade-offs related to using LDP, evaluate our LDP-based system on real-world user-reported call records collected by the FTC, and show that it is possible to learn a phone blacklist using a reasonable overall privacy budget and at the same time preserve users' privacy while maintaining utility for the learned blacklist.

description: We have examined a probable soft X-ray transient source in the M31 bulge at R.A.=0:42:41.814 +/- 0.08", Dec. = 41:16:35.86 +/- 0.07". On the three occasions we observed the source, its spectrum was soft (kT_{in} ~1 keV). The brightest detection of the source was 2004 July 17 with a 0.3-7 keV luminosity of ~5 X 10^{37} erg/s. The only previous detection of the source was in 1979 by the Einstein observatory. The multiple detections over 25 years suggest the duty cycle of the source is in the range 0.02-0.06. Coordinated HST/ACS imaging before, during, and after the outburst revealed no variable optical source within the position errors of the X-ray source. The optical data place a firm upper limit on the brightness of the counterpart of the X-ray outburst of B>24.7, suggesting the binary has a period <5.2 days. The X-ray spectrum and lack of bright stars at the source location indicate the source was a soft transient event occurring in a low-mass X-ray binary, making this source a good black hole candidate in M31.

description: PHENIX has a well defined program for measuring the polarized gluon distribution in the nucleon. We measure the gluon polarization in the proton with polarized $p$-$p$ collisions at PHENIX. The measurements of gluon polarization $via$ the direct-photon production and the heavy-flavor production can be significantly improved by the silicon vertex tracker upgrade. We have studied the possible improvements of the gluon polarization measurements using Monte Carlo simulation and they are shown and discussed in this paper.

description: The physical unclonable functions (PUF) are used to provide software as well as hardware security for the cyber-physical systems. They have been used for performing significant cryptography tasks such as generating keys, device authentication, securing against IP piracy, and to produce the root of trust as well. However, they lack in reliability metric. We present a novel approach for improving the reliability as well as the uniqueness of the field programmable gated arrays (FPGAs) based ring oscillator PUF and derive a random number, consuming very small area (< 1%) concerning look-up tables (LUTs). We use frequency profiling method for distributing frequency variations in ring oscillators (RO), spatially placed all across the FPGA floor. We are able to spot suitable locations for RO mapping, which leads to enhanced ROPUF reliability. We have evaluated the proposed methodology on Xilinx -7 series FPGAs and tested the robustness against environmental variations, e.g. temperature and supply voltage variations, simultaneously. The proposed approach achieves significant improvement (i) in uniqueness value upto 49:90%, within 0.1% of the theoretical value (ii) in the reliability value upto 99:70%, which signifies that less than 1 bit flipping has been observed on average, and (iii) in randomness, signified by passing NIST test suite. The response generated through the ROPUF passes all the applicable relevant tests of NIST uniformity statistical test suite.

description: Lack of directional bonding between two-dimensional crystals like graphene or monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides provides unusual freedom in selection of components for vertical van der Waals heterostructures. However, even for identical layers, their stacking, in particular the relative angle between their crystallographic directions, modifies properties of the structure. We demonstrate that the interatomic coupling between two two-dimensional crystals can be determined from angle-resolved photoemission spectra of a trilayer structure with one aligned and one twisted interface. Each of the interfaces provides complementary information and together they enable self-consistent determination of the coupling. We parametrize interatomic coupling for carbon atoms by studying twisted trilayer graphene and show that the result can be applied to structures with different twists and number of layers. Our approach demonstrates how to extract fundamental information about interlayer coupling in a stack of two-dimensional crystals and can be applied to many other van der Waals interfaces.

description: The issue of non-local GUT symmetry breaking is addressed in the context of open string model building. We study ZNxZM' orbifolds with all the GUT-breaking orbifold elements acting freely, as rotations accompanied by translations in the internal space.We consider open strings quantized on these backgrounds, distinguishing whether the translational action is parallel or perpendicular to the D-branes. GUT breaking is impossible in the purely perpendicular case, non-local GUT breaking is instead allowed in the purely parallel case. In the latter, the scale of breaking is set by the compactification moduli, and there are no fixed points with reduced gauge symmetry, where dangerous explicit GUT-breaking terms could be located. We investigate the mixed parallel+perpendicular case in a Z2xZ2' example, having also a simplified field theory realization.It is a new S1/Z2xZ2' orbifold-GUT model, with bulk gauge symmetry SU(5)xSU(5) broken locally to the Standard Model gauge group. In spite of the locality of the GUT symmetry breaking, there is no localized contribution to the running of the coupling constants, and the unification scale is completely set by the length of S1.

On the direct indecomposability of infinite irreducible Coxeter groups and the Isomorphism Problem of Coxeter groups

description: In this paper we prove, without the finite rank assumption, that any irreducible Coxeter group of infinite order is directly indecomposable as an abstract group. The key ingredient of the proof is that we can determine, for an irreducible Coxeter group, the centralizers of the normal subgroups that are generated by involutions. As a consequence, we show that the problem of deciding whether two general Coxeter groups are isomorphic, as abstract groups, is reduced to the case of irreducible Coxeter groups, without assuming the finiteness of the number of the irreducible components or their ranks. We also give a description of the automorphism group of a general Coxeter group in terms of those of its irreducible components.

description: UAVNs (unmanned aerial vehicle networks) may become vulnerable to threats and attacks due to their characteristic features such as highly dynamic network topology, open-air wireless environments, and high mobility. Since previous work has focused on classical and metaheuristic-based approaches, none of these approaches have a self-adaptive approach. In this paper, the challenges and weaknesses of previous methods are examined in the form of a table. Furthermore, we propose an agent-based self-protective method (ASP-UAVN) for UAVNs that is based on the Human Immune System (HIS). In ASP-UAS, the safest route from the source UAV to the destination UAV is chosen according to a self-protective system. In this method, a multi-agent system using an Artificial Immune System (AIS) is employed to detect the attacking UAV and choose the safest route. In the proposed ASP-UAVN, the route request packet (RREQ) is initially transmitted from the source UAV to the destination UAV to detect the existing routes. Then, once the route reply packet (RREP) is received, a self-protective method using agents and the knowledge base is employed to choose the safest route and detect the attacking UAVs. The proposed ASP-UAVN has been validated and evaluated in two ways: simulation and theoretical analysis. The results of simulation evaluation and theory analysis showed that the ASP-UAS increases the Packet Delivery Rate (PDR) by more than 17.4, 20.8, and 25.91%, and detection rate by more than 17.2, 23.1, and 29.3%, and decreases the Packet Loss Rate (PLR) by more than 14.4, 16.8, and 20.21%, the false-positive and false-negative rate by more than 16.5, 25.3, and 31.21% those of SUAS-HIS, SFA and BRUIDS methods, respectively.

description: Discharge of large amount of wastewater as effluent from pulp and paper industries in the surrounding streams result in serious health and environmental problems. These large quantities of effluents need to be characterized for evolving proper treatment strategy prior to their disposal. Physicochemical characteristics of effluents from an agro-based paper mills located in Uttar Pradesh state of India were analyzed in terms of pH, colour, TS, TDS, TSS, turbidity, BOD, COD, and AOX. The effluent samples collected from different processing units of the paper mill varied considerably across the discharge streams. The mean values pH, colour, TS, TDS, TSS, turbidity, BOD, COD, and AOX ranged from 1.82±0.03 to 9.84±0.06, 481.44±0.58 to 3936.16±5.76 PCU, 1718.49±0.65 to 4252.29±4.46 ppm, 1518.27±2.65 to 3032.14±3.32 ppm, 200.22±2.01 to 1220.15±3.15 ppm, 113.23±1.46 to 481.22±2.61 NTU, 355.65±3.50 to 1342.22±3.50 ppm, 881.52±3.19 to 2710.12±4.52 ppm, and 15.75±0.51 to 38.35±0.21 ppm respectively. The results demonstrated markedly higher values of all physicochemical parameters of effluents from various processing units of the paper mill than the permissible limit thus necessitating appropriate treatment prior to their discharge in the environment.
