Entomological investigations were carried out in areas affected by Japanese encephalitis (JE) in Mandya District, Karnataka, India, from 1983 to 1988, to determine species composition and the density of mosquito vectors, in relation to the incidence of JE cases. JE cases occurred in two spells in a year, one during April-June (summer epidemic) and another during October-December (winter epidemi...

A study on the effect of flyash on the physico-chemical characteristics viz. pH, electrical conductivity and trace element concentration, of soil of Arpa irrigation project area of Bilaspur District (C.G.) has been made during present investigation. Results obtained reveal that the increasing proportion of flyash in soil considerably increase the value of these characteristics. Effect of these ...

A study was conducted to investigate the bioaccumulation of arsenic by twelve different high yielding, hybrid and local rice varieties, cultivated in the Nadia district, West Bengal (India). The results showed that rice plant accumulated arsenic from irrigation water but, the magnitude of accumulation was found to vary with the rice varieties. Some of the examined rice varieties (like IET 4094,...

In 110 branch of the great administration of this country do we greet progress with so much pleasure as in that of which the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bengal, treats in this Report. The statistics published annually are not attractive to the general reader, but the welldigested remarks made in this triennial report by Surgeon-Colonel G. C. Ross give us an excellent idea of medical p...

We show that it is practical to invert entire airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys to 3D conductivity models with hundreds of thousands of cells within a day on a workstation. We have exploited the fact that the area of the footprint of an AEM system is significantly smaller than the area of an AEM survey to develop a robust 3D inversion method which uses a moving footprint. Our implementatio...

BACKGROUND The need for reoperation or wound infection treatments between pulsatile and gravity irrigation are statistically equivalent, however, it is unclear which method maximizes operative efficiency and expeditious irrigation. In this study we set out to determine the differences in irrigation rate between these various treatment methods. METHODS This was an ex-vivo experimental laborato...

Irrigation is vital in Bangladesh order to meet the growing food demand as a result of increasing population. During dry season, groundwater irrigation main source water for agriculture. However, excessive abstraction causes level depletion. At same time, loss from could end up contributing aquifer recharge return flow. Therefore, investigating influence on important sustainable management this...

Vegetable production constitutes an important sub-sector of the agricultural economy of KwaZulu-Natal. Most vegetables are cultivated in mixed-cropping types of farming systems. The technical efficiency of vegetable based cropping systems was estimated in order to identify the potential increase in production without incurring additional costs. The factors affecting technical efficiency and con...
