In this study, the changes in various geomechanical properties were studied for sandstones cropped out at Mescitli region of Gümüşhane city under different saturation and anisotropy conditions. For purpose, 225 specimens prepared considering lamination planes those chosen to have orientation 0, 30, 45, 60 90° relative loading direction. Index such as dry unit weight (dry), saturated (sat), wa...

Background: Paddy is a very important agricultural crop of Assam occupying 71.59 per cent its total net cropped area. Among paddy, Sali paddy occupies 78.21 area in the state. Ranjit variety developed by Agricultural University found to be proven having yield potential 6 ton hectare farmer’s field. Hence did large scale demonstration across state and results were encouraging. Methods: The prese...

Many images contain salient regions that are surrounded by too much uninteresting background material and are not as enlightening as a sensibly cropped version. The choice of the best picture window both at capture time and during subsequent processing is normally subjective and a wholly manual task. This paper proposes a method of automatically cropping visual material based upon a new measure...

Embedded smart cameras have limited processing power, memory and energy. In this paper, we introduce two methodologies to increase the energy-efficiency and the battery-life of an embedded smart camera by hardware-level operations when performing object detection and tracking. We use the CITRIC platform as our embedded smart camera. We first perform down-sampling at hardware-level on the micro-...

Mountain reedbuck, Redunca fulvorufula, occupy marginal habitat that is rarely used by cattle. They are fecund, produce good quality meat and have the potential to be cropped commercially. Body condition indices including dressing % (DP), kidney fat indices (KFI), leg fat percentages (LFP) and leg muscle percentages (LMP) were investigated at two nature reserves in the Free State Province, Sout...
