Use of traditional inputs and advanced industrial technology in value-added within the pulp and paper industry in india     

Sandeep Kumar Kujur 《Journal of Sustainable Forestry》2019,38(6):542-557

This paper exploits the information obtained in Annual Survey of Industries during 1999–2010 to gauge the degree of value-added owing to the use of traditional inputs (capital, labor, energy, indigenous materials, and imported materials) and advanced industrial production technology (services, information and communications technology, and pollution control equipment) in two main sub-sectors of the Pulp and Paper (P&P) industry in India categorized according to use of different types of raw material. The panel data econometric exercise confirms that the use of traditional inputs and advanced industrial technologies, and industry level determinants of the two sub-sectors have varied effects on value-added within them. These findings are important for promoting higher value-added production in different sectors within the resource-based industry.  相似文献   

Influence of duration of aeration on growth and survival of carp fingerlings during high density seed rearing     

N.A. Pawar  J.K. Jena  P.C. Das  D.D. Bhatnagar 《Aquaculture (Amsterdam, Netherlands)》2009,290(3-4):263-268

Impact of varied durations of aeration on growth, survival and production performances of catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita), fringe lipped carp (Labeo fimbriatus) and olive barb (Puntius sarana) were evaluated in outdoor concrete tanks (10 m × 5 m × 1.3 m) during fingerlings rearing. At a combined stocking density of 0.5 million fry/ha, provision of night time aeration for 4, 8 and 12 h was evaluated as the three treatments, T-I, T-II and T-III, respectively against control (T-c, without aeration). Overall survival and net biomass of the species increased among the treatments significantly as a function of aeration hours (T-c < T-I < T-II < T-III). Aeration for 8 and 12 h showed significantly higher survival, harvested body weight and SGR in all the carps than those with 4 h (T-I) and no aeration (T-c), suggesting 8–12 h of aeration requirement for fingerlings rearing at such high density. Further, no significant difference between survival levels in T-II and T-III groups suggested 8 h of aeration to be adequate. However, while species-wise performance showed 8–12 h night time aeration to be advantageous for catla and rohu, aeration for 4 h was adequate for fringe lipped carp and olive barb.  相似文献   

Evaluation of corn steep liquor as a supplementary feed for Labeo rohita (Ham.) fingerlings     

Sandeep G. Chovatiya  Sujata S. Bhatt  Amita R. Shah 《Aquaculture International》2011,19(1):1-12

The effects of corn steep liquor (CSL), a by-product of corn starch industry, in the fish diet at 25% (D1), 50% (D2) and 75% (D3) replacement of fish meal are investigated on the growth of Labeo rohita (rohu) fingerlings. Formulated feeds were iso-nitrogenous (39% crude protein) and iso-energetic (15.8?kJ/g). The CSL is found to be rich in protein (43.48%), lactic acid (20.79%) and minerals and is free from fibres, phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors. The sulphur amino acid content of CSL is found to be 2.43%, though it is deficient in lysine (0.73%). With diets D1 and D2, growth performance and feed efficiency in terms of weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) as well as apparent digestibility (APD and ALD) were higher when compared to CD. With diet D3, they were similar to CD. Up to 50% level of CSL in the diets (D1 and D2), the protein and lipid contents of carcass were significantly higher (P?<?0.05) when compared to CD. The digestive enzyme activities are found to be similar in all the diet groups. The findings suggest that in the diet of rohu, fish meal can be replaced up to 75% level with CSL without hampering the growth of the fishes. The CSL appear to be a better plant protein source as partial replacement of fish meal.  相似文献   

On the constitutive equations of the orthotropic theory of creep     

N. S. Bhatnagar  R. P. Gupta 《Wood Science and Technology》1967,1(2):142-148

Summary Creep equations have been formulated for the multi-axial state of stress for an orthotropic medium, based on an invariant proposed by Hill for theory of plasticity. Anyone of the numerous creep laws suggested from time to time by different investigators on the basis of experiments can then be used in these equations giving a complete set of equations for the solution of creep problems in orthotropic medium. Two simple applications are also discussed. An example in which principal axes of stress do not coincide with axes of anisotropy tension of a bar is discussed. Another example, that of compression under conditions of plane strain, illustrates variation of stress with time although load is kept constant. It is shown that in this case {ie142-1} relaxes to the final value {ie142-2} after a few times the retardation time.

Zusammenfassung Gleichungen zur Berechnung von Kriechdehnungen wurden für den mehrachsigen Spannungszustand orthotroper Stoffe aufgestellt, deren Grundlage eine von Hill für die Plastizitätstheorie vorgeschlagene Konstante bildet. Jedes der zahlreichen Kriechgesetze, die von verschiedenen Autoren auf Grund von Versuchen immer wieder vorgeschlagen wurden, kann mit Hilfe dieser Gleichungen Anwendung finden und bildet ein vollständiges Gleichungs-system zur Lösung von Kriechproblemen in orthotropen Stoffen. Desgleichen werden zwei einfache Anwendungsmöglichkeiten erörtert. Ein Beispiel wird dargestellt, in welchem die Haupt-Spannungsachsen nicht mit den Achsen der anisotropen Zugspannung in einem Balken zusammenfallen. Ein weiteres Beispiel mit Druckbelastung veranschaulicht bei Annahme einer ebenen Dehnung die Änderungen des Spannungszustandes mit der Zeit, wenn die Belastung konstant bleibt. Es wird gezeigt, daß sich in diesem Fall {ie142-3} bis zu dem Endwert {ie142-4} ermäßigt nach einer Zeit, die einem Mehrfachen der Retardierungszeit entspricht.

Arbuscular mycorrhizae in micropropagation systems and their potential applications     

Rupam Kapoor  Deepika SharmaA.K. Bhatnagar 《Scientia Horticulturae》2008

Over the past few years, micropropagation techniques are being widely used as an important and advantageous tool for rapid propagation of several commercially important varieties of horticultural and forest tree species. Although, this technology has got several successful applications, low survival rates and poor growth while shifting these plantlets to field conditions are the most common problems which hinders its usage for commercial plant production practices. Inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to the roots of micropropagated plantlets plays a beneficial role on their post-transplanting performance. This review discusses the multiple roles played by AMF in the establishment of micropropagated plantlets. Different techniques of mycorrhization and the constraints pertaining to the use of these techniques are also discussed.  相似文献   

Screening of Lactobacillus isolates from gastrointestinal tract of guinea fowl for probiotic qualities using in vitro tests to select species-specific probiotic candidates     

P.G. Vineetha  S. Tomar  V.K. Saxena  C. Susan  S. Sandeep  K. Adil 《British poultry science》2016,57(4):474-482

1. A total of 32 Lactobacillus isolates, 8 each from the crop (LGFCP1–LGFCP8), proventriculus (LGFP9–LGFP16), ileum (LGFI17–LGFI24) and caeca (LGFCM25–LGFCM32) were isolated from 25 adult guinea fowl (Pearl variety), 22–28 weeks of age, and characterised morphologically, physiologically, biochemically and by molecular methods.

2. Isolates were screened for their probiotic quality using range of in vitro tests: aggregation test, cell surface hydrophobicity, resistance to bile salts and acidic conditions, enzymatic tests and coaggregation and antagonistic test.

3. Based on in vitro test results and a novel scoring method, the two best isolates were selected and partial 16S rRNA sequencing was done. BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) analysis of sequence of isolate LGFCP4 showed 99% genetic identity with Lactobacillus plantarum and LGFP16 with Lactobacillus reuteri.

4. The study shows that these two microbial agents may be suitable as potential probiotic candidates in guinea fowl, as well as in a feed supplement for other poultry species.

Field evaluation and economics of insecticides against the major pests of okra     

B. L. Pareek  G. R. Sharma  K. N. Bhatnagar 《国际虫害防治杂志》2013,59(3):192-195

Abstract

Bio‐efficacy of 15 insecticides was evaluated against the pest complex of okra in the semi‐arid region of Rajasthan during July‐October, 1984. Five sprays given at intervals of 15 days throughout the crop period indicated that fenvalerate (0.02%) was most effective, followed by permethrin (0.02%), cypermethrin (0.02%), carbaryl (0.10%), monocrotophos (0.04%) and dimethoate (0.03%), against leafhoppers, aphids and fruit borer. The maximm yield of marketable fruits was obtained with fenvalerate, followed by cypermethrin, carbaryl, monocrotophos and dimethoate treatments. Highest net‐profit of Rs. 4890.00 was also recorded with fenvalerate treatment, followed by Rs. 4430.00 with carbaryl, Rs. 4148.00 with permethrin, Rs. 3977.00 with monocrotophos and Rs. 3053.00 with dimethoate treatments. A higher benfit cost ratio was found with carbaryl (1:9.78), followed by dimethoate (1:7.85), monocrotophos (1:5.18), methyl demeton (1:5.07), fenvalerate (1:3.43) and permethrin (1:2.41). These insecticides can also be used against insect pests of other vegetable crops of the season.  相似文献

Aflatoxin Accumulation and Associated Traits in QPM Maize Inbreds and their Testcrosses     

F. Javier Betrán  Sandeep Bhatnagar  Tom Isakeit  Gary Odvody  Kerry Mayfield 《Euphytica》2006,152(2):247-257

Preharvest aflatoxin (AF) contamination by Aspergillus flavus Link:Fr is one of the main limitations for maize (Zea mays, L.) production in the southern USA, causing enormous economic losses and posing a risk to animal and human health. The objectives of this study were (1) to estimate aflatoxin accumulation and expression of associated traits in quality protein maize (QPM) inbreds and their testcrosses, (2) to compute their repeatabilities and correlations, and (3) to study the relationship between inbred lines and their testcrosses for aflatoxin accumulation. Forty-eight inbreds and their testcrosses plus checks were grown in one and three locations in south and central Texas, respectively. Aflatoxin concentration was evaluated in the plants following inoculation with A. flavus. Average aflatoxin concentration overall for inbreds was 286.3 ng g⁻¹, and for testcrosses 596.5 ng g⁻¹ at Corpus Christi, TX, 325.1 ng g⁻¹ at Weslaco, TX, and 105.1 ng g⁻¹ at College Station, TX. Flinty orange inbreds developed from CIMMYT Population 69 were the least susceptible to aflatoxin accumulation in both inbreds and testcrosses at all locations. Repeatability for aflatoxin was 0.67 in inbreds at Weslaco, TX and 0.54 in testcrosses across locations. Aflatoxin in testcrosses was positively correlated both phenotycally and genotypically with endosperm texture and kernel integrity, and negatively correlated with grain yield and silking date. Less aflatoxin accumulation was associated with flinty endosperm texture, better kernel integrity, and later maturities. Association between the expression of traits in inbreds and aflatoxin in testcrosses was relatively high for endosperm texture (R ² = 0.62), silking date (R ² = 0.44), kernel integrity (R ² = 0.39), and aflatoxin (R ² = 0.60 for log ng g⁻¹). It seems plausible to select for associated traits having high heritabilities and strong correlation with aflatoxin, in addition to low aflatoxin accumulation in inbreds and hybrids to reduce the risk of aflatoxin contamination.  相似文献
