description: The research consists of two main sections; it initially focused on the accuracy of turbulence models to simulate the acoustic far-field domain for a NACA 0012 airfoil at Mach number of 0.209. Five different turbulence models were used such as realizable k-ε, SST k-ω, Transition-SST, Reynolds-Stress, and Spalart-Allmaras in unsteady flow at velocity of 71.3 m/s. It used the Ffowcs-William and Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic method to compare the one-third-octave-band of semi-logarithmic sound pressure level (SPL) vs. frequency within the range of 200 Hz to 20000 Hz with experimental data. Reasonably good agreement is observed that both realizable k- ε and Transition-SST are more accurate than others in prediction of peak of sound pressure level and the frequency of peak. In second section, in retrospect to considering accuracy of realizable k-ε model and its shorter runtime, the paper considered some analysis on the acoustic far-field domain to find the critical points of fluctuated pressure due to the retard time. For this reason, a need to find a way to input the location of receiver to compare its data with other located receivers was felt. Indeed, it defined two different major distributions, semi-circle and far-field linear distribution, that each one has nineteen receivers. These distributions have mathematical correlations derived in their own subsection. It also introduces a parameter, Average-Dependable SPL, in order to analyze the effect of location and retard time on the fluctuations. After specification of six critical points in schematic contours, it is developed to a third distribution that corresponds to the proportion of chord. Finally, it can be observed that majority of peaks occur close to the turbulent boundary layer of trailing edge, but the quantity of peaks near the leading edge is more substantial than trailing edge peaks.

description: We examine the quantum spin state of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond at room temperature as it makes a transition from the orbital ground-state (GS) to the orbital excited-state (ES) during non-resonant optical excitation. While the fluorescence read-out of NV-center spins relies on conservation of the longitudinal spin projection during optical excitation, the question of quantum phase preservation has not been examined. Using Ramsey measurements and quantum process tomography, we establish limits on NV center spin decoherence induced during optical excitation. Treating the optical excitation and ES spin precession as a quantum process, we measure a process fidelity of F=0.87\pm0.03, which includes ES spin dephasing during measurement. Extrapolation to the moment of optical excitation yields F\approx0.95. This result demonstrates that ES spin interactions may be used as a resource for quantum control because the quantum spin state can survive incoherent orbital transitions.

The Uncertainty Relation for Quantum propositions

description: Logical propositions with the fuzzy modality "Probably" are shown to obey an uncertainty principle very similar to that of Quantum Optics. In the case of such propositions, the partial truth values are in fact probabilities. The corresponding assertions in the metalanguage, have complex assertion degrees which can be interpreted as probability amplitudes. In the logical case, the uncertainty relation is about the assertion degree, which plays the role of the phase, and the total number of atomic propositions, which plays the role of the number of modes. In analogy with coherent states in quantum physics, we define "quantum coherent propositions" those which minimize the above logical uncertainty relation. Finally, we show that there is only one kind of compound quantum-coherent propositions: the "cat state" propositions.

History and the American Poet
Creators: name: Bacigalupo, Massimo
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2003

description: According to a critical tradition that goes back to Aristotle, poetry is "more philosophic" than history. American poets from Joel Barlow onward have always taken history as their province, and the Modernists have Iarnously attempted long poems that are historical in scope ("an epic is a poem including history;" as Ezra Pound announced) . Poets of today are more modest in their ambition, yet their poems are historical documents through which we can approach American society, and which U.S. readers still respond to as guides to their own experience. Charles Wright's "Archaeology" and its appearance in cyberspace is an example, in being both intimate and public. Present reactions to some of the main historical questions faced by poets are considered in the light of two recent (2005) conferences on Ezra Pound and Wallace Stevens, writers who offered more and less direct purchases on history. WW2 is a test-case of their reactions. Pound responds immediately to the drama, Stevens seeks within it a general (ergo "more philosophic") truth.

description: We consider the asymptotic behavior of an evolving weakly coupled Fokker-Planck system of two equations set in a periodic environment. The magnitudes of the diffusion and the coupling are respectively proportional and inversely proportional to the size of the period. We prove that, as the period tends to zero, the solutions of the system either propagate (concentrate) with a fixed constant velocity (determined by the data) or do not move at all. The system arises in the modeling of motor proteins which can take two different states. Our result implies that, in the limit, the molecules either move along a filament with a fixed direction and constant speed or remain immobile.

OER adoption
OER readiness

description: This Pyramid was developed in the course of a research paper focusing on why South African academics adopt OER or not. We understood that numerous factors shaped their choices, but it became apparent that some factors were "essential" to OER activity while others were merely "influential". To clarify which factors were required for any type of OER activity, we developed the OER Adoption Pyramid, which consolidates the factors into six hierarchically related categories: access, permission, awareness, capacity, availability and volition. Under these terms we can place numerous other sub-factors which emerge in the OER literature, such as quality, relevance, localisation, licensing, self-confidence, etc. Going from bottom to top, these categories move from factors that are largely externally defined to factors that are more personally determined. This pyramid reveals that, ultimately, only academics or institutions that possess all six of these attributes at the same time (even if in some modified or attenuated fashion) can engage in OER activity. If even one of these elements is missing, they cannot participate in OER activity.

description: A land-art work by Andy Goldworthy presents interesting oximoronic features that apply to American culture. A "walking wall," "flaneur in the wilderness," symbolizes the American soul, nomadic and colonizing at the same time. An analysis of this concept, through some of America's great writers and artists, from the Puritans to Frank L. Wright, leads up to the "mending wall" represented by the 1982 Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, recognized as "The Wall," a surface where life and death comfort one another.

description: Graphene nanogaps and nanopores show potential for the purpose of electrical DNA sequencing, in particular because single-base resolution appears to be readily achievable. Here, we evaluated from first principles the advantages of a nanogap setup with functionalized graphene edges. To this end, we employed density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's function method to investigate the transverse conductance properties of the four nucleotides occurring in DNA when located between the opposing functionalized graphene electrodes. In particular, we determined the electrical tunneling current variation as a function of the applied bias and the associated differential conductance at a voltage which appears suitable to distinguish between the four nucleotides. Intriguingly, we observe for one of the nucleotides a negative differential resistance effect.

Narration, Figuration and Disfiguration in Toni Morrison's “Beloved” and “Jazz”
Creators: name: Zaccaria, Paola
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2002

description: In poetic works, voice and face are the most frequent images of the body, and the modality of representing a face or a voice challenges consciousness, blending opacity and transparency. To lose one's voice or face, to become mute, aphasic or disfigured, are experienced as a loss ofself In moments of passage or metamorphosis, it can seem that the voice and the face change, that we speak with a different voice, say something never said: we are faced with a different self who is heard differently, seen differently. In order to go on, narration must create characters, that is 'assume a Figure'. After the semantic analysis of the meanings of 'figure' and 'figuration', the essay proceeds to concentrate on a particularly symbolic figure, which is also highly historicized and politicized: Beloved in the novel Beloved, and Wild, a re-apparition of the same figure, complete with new, but equally explosive significance, in Jazz. The moment in which Morrison (an expert not only ofwestern traditions of intertextuality but of African oral narratives structured around recall and repetition, as well as the pattern of call and response) took the figure of Beloved into Jazz, giving her not a real name but an appellative, a nickname Wild she did so both to re-trace the forgotten story, that can neither be forgotten by passing it on ('It was not a story to pass on'), and to create an historicized link between the two novels, in order to play with the idea of'Trace', to the point that 'Trace' becomes Joe's surname (Joe Trace) as if it were the title ofhis project to re-trace his origins, to find traces of his mother, traces of slavery (and of the cancellation of any traces of origins performed by the slave trade) the Africanist traces. Wild is the 'figuration' of the trace and the naming of itself. The essay tries to show how Morrison creates figurations which become imagin-afcltions capable of activating new paths and new processes in American consciousness and culture.

In this paper I have proposed a Bi-Objective Genetic Algorithm for community detection which maximizes modularity and community score. Then the results obtained for both benchmark and real life data sets are compared with other algorithms using the modularity and MNI performance metrics. The results show that the BOCD algorithm is capable of successfully detecting community structure in both real life and synthetic datasets, as well as improving upon the performance of previous techniques.

description: We have done a new analysis of the available observations for the GJ581 exoplanetary system. Today this system is controversial due to choices that can be done in the orbital determination. The main ones are the ocurrence of aliases and the additional bodies - the planets f and g - announced in Vogt et al. 2010. Any dynamical study of exoplanets requires the good knowledge of the orbital elements and the investigations involving the planet g are particularly interesting, since this body would lie in the Habitable Zone (HZ) of the star GJ581. This region,for this system, is very attractive of the dynamical point of view due to several resonances of two and three bodies present there. In this work, we investigate the conditions under which the planet g may exist. We stress the fact that the planet g is intimately related with the orbital elements of the planet d; more precisely, we conclude that it is not possible to disconnect its existence from the determination of the eccentricity of the planet d. Concerning the planet f, we have found one solution with period $\approx 450$ days, but we are judicious about any affirmation concernig this body because its signal is in the threshold of detection and the high period is in a spectral region where the ocorruence of aliases is very common. Besides, we outline some dynamical features of the habitable zone with the dynamical map and point out the role played by some resonances laying there.

“Present at the Destruction”?

description: The article analyses from an historical perspective the foreign policy of the current Republican administration. Contrary to common wisdom, it maintains that the approach to international politics of George W. Bush Jr. does not fundamentally depart from the most venerable diplomatic traditions of the United States. It argues that it is possible to find a cultural, political, ideological, and even religious, lineage to Bush's unilateralism, as it was most famously expressed in the 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States (NSS). What really characterizes current U.S. foreign policy is the attempt to recompose and synthesize different traditions and approaches. This attempted synthesis, however, has produced a confused and ultimately incoherent policy, whose limits and inconsistencies are quintessentially epitomized by a phrase that recurs five times in the 2002 NSS: the need for America to create "a balance of power that favors human freedom."

description: We perform a systematic study of $B\bar{B}^*$, $B^*\bar{B}^*$, $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ systems by using effective interaction in our chiral quark model. Our results show that the interactions of $B\bar{B}^*$, $B^*\bar{B}^*$, $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ states are attractive, which consequently result in $B\bar{B}^*$, $B^*\bar{B}^*$, $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ bound states. The recent observed exotic-like hadrons of $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ are, therefore in our approach, interpreted as loosely bound states of $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$, while X(3872) and Y(3940) are $D\bar{D}^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecule states, respectively.

We present a learning scheme that learns this representation directly from cluttered images with only very weak supervision. The model generates plausible samples and performs foreground-background segmentation. We demonstrate that representing foreground objects independently of the background can be beneficial in recognition tasks.

description: This essay focuses on three American films of the 1990s and on the theme of psychological and emotional destruction. In Anderson's Magnolia, Solondz's Happiness and Altman's Short Cuts, American society is shown as deeply disturbed and forlorn. The archetypal pursuit of happiness still holds true, but it takes place in an environment that in all possible ways destroys human happiness. These movies pick up an apocalyptic trend that had characterized disaster blockbusters, and which is thus taken into the heart of everyday life with an apocalyptic effect.

description: Single point spacecraft observations of the turbulent solar wind flow exhibit a characteristic nonaxisymmetric anisotropy that depends sensitively on the perpendicular power spectral exponent. For the first time we use this nonaxisymmetric anisotropy as a function of wave vector direction to test models of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Using Ulysses magnetic field observations in the fast, quiet polar solar wind we find that the Goldreich-Sridhar model of MHD turbulence is not consistent with the observed anisotropy, whereas the observations are well reproduced by the "Slab + 2D" model. The Golderich-Sridhar model alone can not account for the observations unless an additional component is also present.

description: Das Präventionszentrum Dresden der BG ETEM führt regelmäßig Workshops zum Thema Arbeitssicherheit durch. Diese werden als Plattform für einen regionalen Erfahrungsaustausch sowie als Weiterbildungmaßnahme von Sicherheitsfachkräften (Sifa) der betreuten Mitgliedsunternehmen wahrgenommen. Im Rahmen dieser Veranstaltung wurde am 11. - 14.10.2022 die komplexe Thematik "Safety related security im betrieblichen Arbeitsschutz" vier verschiedenen Sifa-Teilnehmergruppen vorgestellt. Zentral wurde im Vortrag die Gefährdungsbeurteilung nach BetrSichV für elektrische Betriebsmittel als Arbeitsgrundlage für Sifas adressiert. Zunächst wurde in die Thematik "Safety related security" mit Produkt-Beispielen aus dem Bereich "Smart Home" eingeführt. Diese Produkte sind für die private häusliche Verwendung konzipiert. Als typische Migrationsprodukte finden sie jedoch auch im betrieblichen Arbeitsumfeld zunehmend Verwendung. Aufgrund ihrer cloudbasierten Vernetzung und der oft sehr zweifelhaften Softwarequalität insb. bzgl. ihrer Angriffssicherheit stellen sie ein hohes Gefährdungspotential für den betrieblichen Arbeitsschutz dar und müssen durch die Sifas im Rahmen der Gefährdungsbeurteilung angemessen berücksichtigt werden. Ausgehend von den vergleichsweise leicht verständlichen "smarten" Migrationsprodukten wurde zu hoch-vernetzten und komplexen Produktions- und Fertigungsmaschinen im Kontext der Digitaliserung bzw. Industrie 4.0 übergeleitet. Die Steuerungssysteme dieser Maschinen und Anlagen sind heute innerbetrieblich wesentlich stärker untereinander vernetzt als noch vor wenigen Jahren. Zusätzlich gibt es Fernwartungszugänge von außen zu den einzelnen Maschinen, um die Ursachen von aufgetretenen Störungen zu diagnostizieren, zu beheben und die Produktion möglichst schnell wieder starten zu können. Dadurch ergeben sich zum Teil stark widersprechende Anforderungen bzgl. Verfügbarkeit der Maschinen sowie der sicherheitstechnischen Aspekte bzgl. Angriffssicherheit mit potentiell negativen Auswirkungen auf deren funktionale Sicherheit. Im Vortrag wurden diese Punkte aufgegriffen und konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für die Sifa-Zielgruppe gegeben, um das Rollenverständnis zwischen Produktsicherheit und betrieblichem Arbeitsschutz zu schärfen.
The Great National Disaster

description: My article aims at reading a well-known SF novel by Philip K. Dick, The Simulacra (1964), as a disaster novel. While SF literature usually depicts natural disasters, be they abrupt climate change that may lead to floods or desertification, or the fall of meteorites, or earthquakes, etc., Dick's novel is closer to the subgenre of Nuclear Holocaust SF,in that the disaster he stages in his novel is not caused by natural phenomenons, but by a series of deliberate political decisions that lead to the destruction of the USEA, a SFnal version of the USA. What is particularly interesting is that the issue of destruction is tightly interwoven with the question ofa postmodern society where politics is radically spectacularized, and where mass-mediatic manipulation ofminds has transformed entertainment in a powerful tool of consensus-making. Thus the character of Nicole Thibodeaux - a SFnal First Lady who is also aTV celebrity and the real ruler ofthe USEA - arguably foreshadows contemporary political figures - both in the USA and in Italy - that derive their prestige more from their massmediatic appeal than from any traditional political legitimation.

Landscapes of Destruction
Creators: name: Serrai, Roberto
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2002

description: Breakfast of Champions, first published in 1973, is probably one of Kurt Vonnegut's most destructive and nihilistic works. Its declared blueprint is to present the reader with an endless catalogue of cultural monstrosities, either contemporary or proven by now to be timeless. At the end of this subtractive process American culture is reduced to a tabula rasa where nothing seems to be salvageable. Here, Vonnegut gives the impression of running an opposite course to the one Walt Whitman laid out in Leaves of Grass. While developing a new literature for a new country, the "good gray poet" used the former to celebrate the latter, and wove together long lists of things and human types, as if he planned to compile a comprehensive inventory ofall America's gifts, virtues and assets. In Breakfast of Champions' destructive context we're led to believe that from the very beginning America's promise was a kind of a fraud, and, why not, that Whitman's work was just a long redundant piece of advertisement ante litteram. Although Breakfast of Champions may seem like a desperate novel on a helpless country, I believe that it is not entirely correct. It can be read, on the contrary, as another example ofhow even the most negative constructions and critiques of America seem unable to disown and repudiate it completely. Most of the dissent groups active between the Fifties and the Seventies were inspired in different degrees by a clean nostalgia for the "American dream." Counterculture itself has been presented as "a kind of reform movement, trying to revive a decayed tradition once important to our civilization." The painful awareness of such a "decay" is a factor contributing to Breakfast of Champions' sustained, unrelenting anger. Vonnegut attacks the American myth as a disillusioned believer, and with the ardor of a betrayed lover.

description: During the World War II John Huston became involved, together with other well-known Hollywood Iilmrnakers, in the U.S. government propaganda film production. The essay contrasts Huston's war documentaries with other propaganda films produced during the conflict, and argues that whereas Report from the Aleutians,Huston's first non-fiction film, may be incorporated within the propaganda genre and depicts war as an instance where officers and soldiers may aspire to glory, his second documentary, San Pietro, breaks free of this label and shows the ultimate destruction which war brings about. The paper also details the predictably unfavorable reaction of the War Department to Huston's anti-war stance, and the reasons why many years would have to pass before San Pietro and Let 7here be Light, his subsequent war documentary, would be released for general viewing.

description: The advent of stable, highly squeezed states of light has generated great interest in the gravitational wave community as a means for improving the quantumnoise- limited performance of advanced interferometric detectors. To confidently measure these squeezed states, it is first necessary to measure the shot-noise across the frequency band of interest. Technical noise, such as non-stationary events, beam pointing, and parasitic interference, can corrupt shot-noise measurements at low Fourier frequencies, below tens of kilo-Hertz. In this paper we present a qualitative investigation into all of the relevant noise sources and the methods by which they can be identified and mitigated in order to achieve quantum noise limited balanced homodyne detection. Using these techniques, flat shot-noise down to Fourier frequencies below 0.5 Hz is produced. This enables the direct observation of large magnitudes of squeezing across the entire audio-band, of particular interest for ground-based interferometric gravitational wave detectors. 11.6 dB of shot-noise suppression is directly observed, with more than 10 dB down to 10 Hz.

Here, the math-ematical formulation of the compositional simulator is rearranged using a novel concept of mass balance constants. The advantage of this approach is that it decouples the thermodynamic constraints from the flow equations. In this model, the thermodynamic behavior for hydrocarbon phases is predicted using a modified version of the Peng-Robinson equation of state where another empirical constant is introduced to obtain an addi-tional degree of freedom for matching the experimental data. The inter-action parameters are calculated for a number of binary systems in this study and are presented here. The solubility of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases in the aqueous phase is calculated using the Cysewski-Prausnitz correlation for Henrrs constant. Here, the water vapour pressure is predicted using the Peng-Robinson equation of state. The prediction is corrected using a temperature dependent water-water inter-action. In addition, a correction is introduced in the calculation of water phase density. In this investigation, the published numerical algorithms are classified in two categories: viz, the minimization of Gibbs free energy and the equal potential approach. These methods are compared on the basis of their operating surfaces. Next, the mathematical basis for the method of successive substitution is analyzed. The analysis has led to the development of accelerated successive substitution and projected successive substitution methods. The performance of Newton and quasi-Newton methods is also examined and the effect of different objective functions and independent variables on the calculation of phase equilibrium are investigated. Aside from this, a new empirical correlation is proposed to initialize three hydrocarbon phase separations and a mathematical development is undertaken for obtaining an initial vector from a previously converged equilibrium state. The numerical scheme developed here is a hybrid scheme of first order and Newton's method. The scheme incorporates a number of other features and is successfully applied for single-, two-, three-and four-phase equilibrium calculations.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We calculate the equation of state of nuclear matter for arbitrary isospin-asymmetry up to three loop order in the free energy density in the framework of in-medium chiral perturbation theory. In our approach 1π- and 2π-exchange dynamics with the inclusion of the Δ-isobar excitation as an explicit degree of freedom, corresponding to the long- and intermediate-range correlations, are treated explicitly. Few contact terms fixed to reproduce selected known properties of nuclear matter encode the short-distance physics. Two-body as well as three-body forces are systematically included. We find a critical temperature of about 15 MeV for symmetric nuclear matter. We investigate the dependence of the liquid-gas first-order phase transition on isospin-asymmetry. In the same chiral framework we calculate the chiral condensate of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter at finite temperatures. The contribution of the Δ-isobar excitation is essential for stabilizing the condensate. As a result, we find no indication of a chiral phase transition for densities ρ\lesssim 2 ρ_0 and at temperatures T \lesssim 100 MeV.

Creatures with Seven Heads in the Revelation of John
Creators: name: Theis, Christoffer
Publisher: name: Distant Worlds Journal
Year: 2020

description: The essay offers a history of the motif of the multi-headed creatures in Revelation of John 12:3 and 13:1–2. It presents hints for a transmission of these specific creatures from a common view of cultures in the Ancient Near East in antiquity. So far, the focus for explaining these creatures was mainly based on motifs from the Old Testament, or the heads were seen as signs for Roman emperors. But with inclusion of sources from various cultures of the Ancient Near East, it becomes obvious that the feature of multiple heads, as well as the specific number of seven heads, is a common theme in different cultures. The presentation was surely not invented by John and there is no need to equate the heads with Roman emperors.

The Casimir Effect in Minimal Length Theories based on a Generalized Uncertainity Principle

description: We study the corrections to the Casimir effect in the classical geometry of two parallel metallic plates, separated by a distance $a$, due to the presence of a minimal length ($\hbar\sqrt{(β)}$) arising from quantum mechanical models based on a Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). The approach for the quantization of the electromagnetic field is based on projecting onto the maximally localized states of a few specific GUP models and was previously developed to study the Casimir-Polder effect. For each model we compute the lowest order correction in the minimal length to the Casimir energy and find that it scales with the fifth power of the distance between the plates $a^{-5}$ as opposed to the well known QED result which scales as $a^{-3}$ and, contrary to previous claims, we find that it is always attractive. The various GUP models can be in principle differentiated by the strength of the correction to the Casimir energy as every model is characterized by a specific multiplicative numerical constant.

Search for supersymmetry in events with a Z boson, jets and missing energy
Creators: name: Buchmann, Marco-Andrea
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a search for Physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in final states with a Z boson, jets and missing transverse energy, using a data sample collected in 2011 by the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 /fb. This final state is predicted in several models of Physics beyond the SM, including supersymmetry. A novel analysis method is exploited, the Jet-Z Balance method, and a precise determination of the total SM background is obtained using a control sample from data. In the absence of any significant excess beyond the SM background, upper limits are set on simple models of supersymmetry, and further information is provided to allow confrontation of other models to these results.

Phenological Monitoring Of Selected Horticultural Fruit Tree Crops

Subjects: woody plants, ecology, developmental stages, fruit crops, climatic change, horticulture, seasons

description: Researchers working on climate change predict that the rise of global temperature affects the life and ecosystems on the earth in various ways (IPCC 2007) and the most significant effect on the fruit tree crops would be the change in the phenology of growth and flowering (Chmielewski and Rötzer , 2001). And this change or shifts in phenology of flowering would affect the pollination as the flowering phenology of the fruit tree species and phenology of the pollinator shifts may not coincide (Rafferty and Ives. 2011). The horticultural fruit tree crops having highly economic and nutritional value and importance, the disruption of phenophases viz., leafing, flowering and fruiting would affect the availability and accessibility of the fruits in the markets. Hence, it is important to understand how the horticultural fruit tree crops are responding to their environment and how the phenology shifts are happening among the genotypes or varieties. As the response of some of the varieties and genotypes to changing climatic conditions varies, the study of the phenology of the fruit trees at the genotype and variety level needs to be undertaken. Therefore, the proposed study of phenological monitoring of selected fruit tree crops viz., Bael (Aegle marmelos), Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Jamun (Syzygium cumini) and Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) under the Chota Nagpur plateau climatic conditions is being undertaken owing to the importance of the selected fruit tree species based on their nutritional, economical and ecological aspects. The ultimate goal of the proposed project is documentation of how the stages of the tree’s annual cycle are influenced by the environment and how these stages could be affected by climate change in the future and how we can manipulate the tree environment by management practices for better tree growth and development (leafing, flowering and fruiting) and fruit yield.
