A total of 50 gastrointestinal tract of domestic pigs were collected in and around Cheyyar taluk, Thiruvannamalai District. The work carried was out for six months from February 2016 to July 2016.Parasitological examination of intestinal tract revealed the presence of helminth parasites and protozoans. Out 50 domestic pigs, 48 (96%) pigs were infected with trematode, cestode, nematode and protozoans. Out 48 domestic pigs 20 were young pigs (below 1 year) and 28 were adult pigs (above 1 year old).Out 48 infected pigs 13 types of parasites were identified using standard procedure.

To understand the effect of sublethal concentration of untreated sugarcane mill effluent water on vital organs of fresh water fish Tilapia mossambica was selected. The biochemical studies on Brain, Muscle and Liver have been carried out. The histological studies on Brain, Gill, Liver, kidney, Testis and ovaries have also been carried out along with control group of fishes.LC50 value was found out before the experiment by the methods of Saptami Moitra and verma (1997). The LC50 was arrived for sugarcane effluent water at a rate of 7ml/lit/per day (i.e.) considered as 1/3 of LC50 value.

Quality protein maize (QPM) has approximately twice tryptophan (Trp) and lysine (Lys) concentrations in protein compared to normal maize. Because several genetic systems control the protein quality of QPM, it is essential to regularly monitor Trp and/or Lys in QPM breeding programs. The objective of the study was to evaluate the capability of NIRS method in determining tryptophan content of QPM which enhance the efficiency of QPM research efforts by partially replacing more expensive and time-consuming wet chemistry analysis.

 We determine explicitly algebraic points of a given degree over Q on the curve of affine equationy^2=x^5+1. This note completes previous work of E.F. Schaefer [Sch] who gave a description of points of degree at most two over Q on the even curve.

A field experiment was conducted to know the response of Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) to balanced nutrition with bio-inoculants at the, College of Horticulture, Mudigere during 2015-16.

The aim of the research was to determine the effects of different intra-row spacing (20, 30 and 40 cm) and nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1) on yield and yield components of confectionery sunflower genotype (Alaca). The experiment was laid on “Randomized Complete Block Design” as split plots with three replications.  The highest seed yield obtained from 20 cm intra-row spacing and 120 kg ha-1 nitrogen and the score were 243.3 kg da-1 and 315.3 kg da-1 in 2007 and 2008.

Nanoparticles are the perfect materials for wastewater treatment and efficient in removal of pathogens, dye decolourization and organic compound removal and the biological synthesis of nanoparticles is an ecofriendly process. Hence the present study trends in about the biosynthesis of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles and evaluation of its ability in waste water treatment. The biologically synthesized Titanium-dioxide nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis, SEM-EDAX, TEM, XRD and FTIR.

Governments are generally responsible for providing Public facilities and infrastructures and use of eminent domain to dispossess individuals, families and communities of their rights/ interests in land/landed Properties and pay compensation to the dispossessed owners. The determination of compensable value for interest in land/landed properties is provided by the Acts, Decrees and other relevant statutory enactments guiding the process.

A semi-analytical solution for the three-dimensional Langevin equation is presented and used to study the contaminant dispersion in the Stable Boundary-Layer (SBL). The method leads to a stochastic integral equation whose solution is based on the iterative solution of Langevin equation by the Picard’s Iterative Method. The novelty in this work relies on the consideration of the Eulerian autocorrelation function suggested by Frenkiel (1953) and Murgatroyd (1969).

Women play a vital role in today’s society. They have a dynamic social life. They actively participate in a range of social and cultural functions. A woman today no longer clutch to the man in nearly all occupations. She plays the games such as football, cricket, and hockey.  She even draws the attention of the world as a successful athlete. The women can no more be kept behind the curtains doing only familial duties. Our society is compliant to the wider contribution of women. They are operational as pilots, and they are even holding the rudder of a country’s administration.
