scholarly journals Rare Gas in Rocks of Vindhyan Super Group Around Sagar, South Ganga Basin, Bundelkhand Region M.P. India

Studies on the exploration of the Helium gas in the rocks of the Vindhyan Super Group around Sagar, South Ganga Basin, Bundel khand region, M.P. is carried out in the detail with joint collaboration of Deptt. of Applied Geology and ONGC Energy Centre, Ahmadabad. As Author has already reported the Discovery og Helium has leakages through more than 50 tube wells/e wells excavated in agriculture fields various Villages in Sagar Distt. The geochemical analysis of the soil , gas and water indicates remarkable amount of Helium gas in these tube wells, containing about 0.45 to 0.735 and methane varying from 72 % to 99%. These investigations were done in the long research work ( more then 25 years)dedication carried out in this area and research finding published in the Journal of National and International repute, which has attracted the officers/ Scientists of ONGC, Dehradun, CGWB, Faridbad, Atomic Mineral Directorate Hyderabad and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Mumbai. The Result of the stable isotopic analysis of Ethane gas in these samples δ C13 value are ranging from -24.9 per mill w.r.t. PDB and -26.9 per mill w.r.t. PDB and the Methane gas are ranging from Isotopic Values -54.0- per mill w.r.t. PDB to -61.5 per mill w.r.t. PDB are indicative that this gas is of thermogenic origin, which must have been formed at very high temperature & pressure condition in the deeper horizon of the great Vindhyan sedimentary basin of late Proterozoic (>500m.y.) period. A reporting of leakages of above mentioned gas from 50 tubewells in the inliers of Vindhyan rocks and even in the Deccan trap rocks ensures that this area must be having a big gas reservoir within Vindhayn rocks around Sagar- Distt. in M.P. The ONGC energy Centre Ahmadabad has started the detail collaborative geophysical work on the drilling exploration upto the depth of 600 m has been carried out and to be carried out in various location from where the leakages of has been earlier reported earlier. In these 600 m deep drill holes detail geophysical logging including the gama ray logging and Neutron logging, lithological an d structural logging will be carried out to know the probable gas reserve and at what depth the, we can get the gas for the exploration and utilization of these ases for industrial purpose and other uses etc. The detail geophysical studies will be very much helpful in the gas reserve calculation and the depth of the gas pockes in the South Ganga Basin in Bundelkhand region in M.P

Abstract. The "Integrated Water Resources Management" principle was formally laid down at the International Conference on Water and Sustainable development in Dublin 1992. One of the main results of this conference is that improving Water and Sanitation Services (WSS), being a complex and interdisciplinary issue, passes through collaboration and coordination of different sectors (environment, health, economic activities, governance, and international cooperation). These sectors influence or are influenced by the access to WSS. The understanding of these interrelations appears as crucial for decision makers in the water sector. In this framework, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission (EC) has developed a new database (WatSan4Dev database) containing 45 indicators (called variables in this paper) from environmental, socio-economic, governance and financial aid flows data in developing countries. This paper describes the development of the WatSan4Dev dataset, the statistical processes needed to improve the data quality; and, finally, the analysis to verify the database coherence is presented. At the light of the first analysis, WatSan4Dev Dataset shows the coherency among the different variables that are confirmed by the direct field experience and/or the scientific literature in the domain. Preliminary analysis of the relationships indicates that the informal urbanisation development is an important factor influencing negatively the percentage of the population having access to WSS. Health, and in particular children health, benefits from the improvement of WSS. Efficient environmental governance is also an important factor for providing improved water supply services. The database would be at the base of posterior analyses to better understand the interrelationships between the different indicators associated in the water sector in developing countries. A data model using the different indicators will be realised on the next phase of this research work.

Interlocking hollow block (IHB) system is a new building technology which eliminates the mortar layer and instead provides a key connection (protrusions and grooves) to interconnect the blocks. With respect to the mortarless feature of the system, it will shorten the construction period, reduce labour and cost, and is environmental friendly. This study covers the modelling and the analysis of Putra Block which is an interlocking hollow block system developed by the Housing Research Centre at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) under axial compression load using Finite Element Method (FEM). The block units comprise of a stretcher block, a corner block and a half block. The aims of this research were to develop the Putra Block prism model using ABAQUS software and to study the structural behaviour of these prisms under axial load using finite element analysis. The Putra Block prism consists of three layers of blocks where the top and bottom layer are made of stretcher block where the middle layer are made of two half blocks placed side by side. Before proceeding with the simulation study, validation of the Putra Block prisms was conducted by using results from previous experimental research work. It was found that the ultimate load between experimental and simulation results had slight differences with an error of 2.56%. The small variations justify the ability of ABAQUS to predict the structural behaviour of elements under axial compression load with good accuracy level. Based on the FEA study, higher compressive stress value was observed on the face-shell of the block whilst higher tensile stress occurred at the webs. The failure of the prisms was mainly due to extensive tensile cracks induced at the web-shell interaction and middle of the block. Further parametric study reveals that by increasing the height of the individual blocks lead to the reduction of its ultimate load. Consequently, the use of higher concrete grade block indicated an improvement in the prism strength and stability under axial load.

It is important to recognise and transmit the importance of traditional music. Professor Bo-Wah Leung, Research Centre for Transmission of Cantonese Opera, The Education University of Hong Kong, recognises the value of this and wants to establish improved methods of communicating the cultural importance of Cantonese opera and thereby inspiring an appreciation for this among the current generation of young people as well as future generations. Bo-Wah founded the Research Centre in 2018 and this is where he leads various research projects devoted to improving how teachers can impart the importance of traditional music onto their students. Currently, Leung is working on a project called National education as cultural education: developing students' Chinese cultural identity with learning and teaching Cantonese opera in Hong Kong and Guangdong, with a view to surveying the current state of teaching the genre in primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong and Guangdong and determining the extent to which students' Chinese cultural identity have been developed through learning the genre. Leung believes there are significant research gaps regarding Cantonese opera and he is exploring the transmission of Cantonese opera in Hong Kong through school music education, community education and higher education. In doing so, he is filling research gaps, including the transmission modes of apprenticeship and conservatory tradition; students' motivation about learning Cantonese opera; teachers' confidence and interest in teaching Cantonese opera; the undergraduate programme and curriculum for nurturing professional Cantonese opera artists; creativity of Cantonese opera artists; and informal learning in community settings.

The article deals with some aspects of Latgalian identity and perception in exile, their origin and main key issues. At the end of the Second World War about 120,000 - 140,000 residents of Latvia found their asylum in the West. About 7,000 of them were Latgalians. Despite their common sense of belonging to lost Latvia, common aspirations for freedom and independence of a Latvian state, Latvian intelligentsia was not united in exile. It was composed of different social and scientifi c organizations, etc. The lack of unity is based on heritage and stereotypes. Historically Latgale had different socio-economic conditions, different socio-political development of events and belated national consciousness development. That is why Latgalians in exile were not united. Their beliefs were very different in number of issues: 1. Regarding written language and the language of worship (Latvian or Latgalian). Catholic Church representatives in exile considered the language of worship services should be Latvian, because Catholics were among Latvians. But another part of the representatives of Latgalians insisted on the Latgalian language; 2. Regarding historical concept (authoritarian regime of Karlis Ulmanis and Latgale). One part criticized Karlis Ulmanis about restriction of the Latgalian language and literature in the second part of 30s of the 20th century, while the others supported his economic and other activities in favour of Latgale. The most active and important organization that defended everything Latgalian was Vladislavs Lōcis Publishing House and Latgale Research Institute (LRI). Vladislavs Lōcis Publishing House moved from Daugavpils to the West and started its activities in Germany. The publisher considered Latgalian writer or researcher a person who wrote in Latgalian. In this connection some problems arose with Latgalian authors who tried to keep both languages – Latgalian and Latvian. Despite of various ideological and material obstacles, V. Lōcis Publishing House has made a substantial contribution. The Publishing House issued in total about 150 Latgalian authors’ books, as well as almanac “Tāvu Zemes Kalendars” (Father`s Land Calendar), the newspaper “Latgolas Bolss” (Voice of Latgale), ”Latgola” (Latgale), the magazine ”Dzeive” (Life), a literary collection of articles “Olūts”, a scientific collection of articles “Acta Latgalica”. Research institute was established to coordinate research work in exile by the Latgale intelligentsia. Emphasising the authentic Latgalian research orientations, it is also known as Latgalian Research Institute. LRI foundation was a form of protest against disregard of the Latgalian descendants, history, culture, literary research: 1) In Western European research communities; 2) Works of Latvian group of authors in exile; 3) The absence of objective study of history of Latvia in Soviet Latvia. Though LRI staff were cut off from their homeland, without modern means of communication, nevertheless they were able to organize the Latgalian researchers in different countries and continents, could lead to permanent research in history, culture and literature of Latgale. The main issue as well as the problem was why during the second generation in exile has the continuity of selflessness ambitions vanished. During the first generation of exile the Latgalian identity has been largely reduced to the usage of Latgalian language. Unlike Latvians from other regions who saw spacious prospects for their activities, the new generation of Latgalians in exile did not see wide enough perspective for the Latgalian language and written form of expression of the language. However, the succession in greater or less extent was saved after the resumption of independence of Latvia – in Latgale: in 1991 the Institute activities were declared and supported by the official members of exile in Daugavpils. Currently, the LRI is the branch of Daugavpils University; Latgale research nowadays is not limited to LRI. Since 90s Rēzekne University College (Rēzeknes Augstskola) has grown into an important research centre, where the Institute of Regional Studies has started its activities. Latgale Cultural centre Publishing House continues traditions started by V. Lōcis.

The present study was stimulated by the problem of onion seed production where seed production is possibly only winter period after which rapid increase in temperature as well as early shower adversely affect the quality of seed. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications to determine optimum doses of manures and fertilizers for maximizing quality true seeds of onion. Six treatments viz. T1= Only inorganic fertilizer recommended by Spices Research Centre (SRC), T2 = T1 + Cowdung manure 7.5 t/ha, T3= T1 + Poultry manure 5 t/ha, T4= T1 + Mustard oil cake 5 t/ha, T5= T1 + Dhaincha 5 t/ha and T6= Control (No manures and fertilizer application)were consisted to achieve the objective. The research work was done at On-Farm Research Division, BARI, Bogra during September, 2010 to June, 2011. The results revealed that the growth parameters, seed yield components, health and quality of harvested seeds were significantly influenced by the different treatments. Results showed that among different treatments, inorganic fertilizer Urea, TSP, MoP, Gypsum, Zinc oxide and Boric acid @ 250, 275, 150, 110, 3 and 5 kg/ha, respectively along with Cowdung 7.5 t/ha was the best for true seed production of onion at Bogra region in Bangladesh.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 3(2): 162-166 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v3i2.12279

Scarcity of spectrum is increasing not only in cellular communication but also in wireless sensor networks. Adding cognition to the existing wireless sensor network (WSN) infrastructure has helped. As sensor nodes in WSN are limited with constraints like power, efforts are required to increase the lifetime and other performance measures of the network. In this article, the authors propose Doubly Cognitive WSN, which works by progressively allocating the sensing resources only to the most promising areas of the spectrum and is based on pattern analysis and learning. As the load of sensing resource is reduced significantly, this approach saves the energy of the nodes and reduces the sensing time dramatically. The proposed method can be enhanced by periodic pattern analysis to review the strategy of sensing. Finally the ongoing research work and contribution on cognitive wireless sensor networks in Communication Research Centre (IIIT-H) is discussed.
