A field study was undertaken at Kolar district of Srinivasapura taluk, to know the impact of standardized feed additives on reeling traits of silkworm hybrid, Bombyx mori L. PM × CSR2.
Field study was undertaken to know the impact of standardized feed additives on reeling traits of silkworm hybrid, Bombyx mori L. PM × CSR2. Silkworm hybrid were reared on mulberry leaves fortified with feed additives flour combination of horse gram + grain amaranthus (50:50) dusting on leaves lead to significantly longer filament length, higher cocoon filament weight, superior denier, lower sericin content, higher fibroin content and renditta, in chosen farms of three farmers each in selected five villages of Kolar district.
Among nine different flours of feed additives tested the silkworm hybrids CSR2 × CSR4 and ND7 × CSR2 (Jayalakshmi) in combination of Horse gram + Grain Amaranthus flour (50 : 50) recorded significantly maximum reeling traits, viz., higher per cent raw silk recovery (21.45, 21.41; 15.55, 15.48), per cent neatness (95.58,95.51; 91.25, 91.17), per cent cleanliness (97.45,97.36; 96.13, 96.05), lower sericin per cent (20.23, 20.38 p; 22.23, 22.29) and higher fibroin per cent (79.75, 79.61; 77.76, 77.69) respectively, when provided from fourth instar up to spinning in both hybrids.
The silkworm hybrids CSR2 × CSR4 and ND7 × CSR2 (Jayalakshmi) reared on mulberry shoots supplemented separately with dusting of nine different feed additives along with unsupplemented control maintained, showed that inclusion of 5g / 10 g flour of Horse gram + Grain Amaranthus (50 : 50) daily once in feeding schedule recorded significantly maximum cocoon weight, shell weight, pupal weight, rate of pupation and dry cocoon weight.
Purpose: Our aim was to identify what proportion of patients can achieve a satisfactory reduction with Bier’s block that can be treated non-operatively. Methods: All patients who received a Bier’s block in Emergency department in 2015 were identified using electronic patient databases. Results: 92% or 60 out of 65 patients had radiological improvement in their fracture position post-manipulation, 2 out of 5 patients had radiological improvement in fracture position continued to be managed non-operatively. 12 out of 65 patients receiving Bier’s block manipulation went on to need surgery.
Purpose: We describe the case of a 12 years old girl who suffered a condition, after she had suffered a trauma in her anterior aspect of her left forefoot in the position of plantar flexion during a sport activity. Which was treated in our hospital. Methods: Under general anesthesia, an open reduction and internal fixation was performed with K-wires in cross configuration and was immobilized in a below-knee cast. Results: She was discharged home the following day without bearing weight. 5 weeks post-operatively, K-wires and cast were removed and she was allowed to walk with two crutches.
Malaria is a protozoal disease transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito, caused by minute parasitic protozoa of the genus Plasmodium, which infect human and insect hosts alternatively. There are four species of the genus plasmodium responsible for the malaria parasite infections that commonly infect man, P.falciparum, P.vivax, P.malariae and P.ovale. The most important of these is P.falciparum because it can be rapidly fatal and is responsible for the majority of malaria related deaths.
Sericulture also known as silk farming where the silkworm arereared to produce silk. There are varities of silk prouduced all over the world. This article throws an insight into the cultivation of silkworm and creation of the beautifully refined silk. Many cottage and small scale textile industries, agriculture outputs includings, engage in such farm- based labour intensive commercial economic activity providing employment to the rural farmers and attracts profit seeking entre preneurs as it requires low investment with relatively higher returns and the production of high quality textiles.
Introduction: Work related Musculo-skeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are injuries or pain in the human musculoskeletal system, including the joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and structures that support limbs, neck and back and are seen due to repetitive kind of work over longer periods. In this study, the authors have determined the prevalence of WRMSD’s amongst orthodontists. Materials and methods: This study was carried among 70 orthodontists in India.
English has acquired the status of a link language all over the world and the importance of being educated in English cannot be denied. The main challenge is that students from both English and vernacular medium schools face difficulties in acquisition of the English language which often acts as a barrier to higher education and better career opportunities. Researchers in Second Language Acquisition have developed many theories about the process of Second Language Acquisition and enquired about the various causes facilitating and retarding Second Language Acquisition.
