About 70% of the rain-fed lowland rice farms in Nigeria are prone to seasonal flooding, which is a major constraint to rice production in some major rice producing areas. Each year that there is flooding, rice farmers in these parts of the country lose their entire crop. This research focuses on developing a submergence tolerant rice variety to overcome crop loss due to flooding. A study of the...

In the present study fifty genotypes of Brassica juncea were evaluated for heat stress tolerance in terms of biochemical components, in four day old seedlings. Heat shock was given at 45 degrees C for 4.5 hr and thereafter survival percentage, electrolyte leakage and chlorophyll content were estimated. Tolerant genotypes (10) registered survival greater than 65%, moderately tolerant (20) betwee...

Abstract: Error detectable and error correctable coding in Hamming space was researched to discover possible fault tolerant coding constellations, which can implement Boolean logic with fault tolerant property. Basic logic operators of the Boolean algebra were developed to apply fault tolerant coding in the logic circuits. It was shown that application of three-bit fault tolerant codes have pro...

The title compound, C(17)H(16)N(3)O(+)·PF(6) (-), is a chiral bicyclic 1,2,4-triazolium salt. In the crystal packing, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds and P-F⋯π contacts [4.078 (11)-4.163 (11) Å, involving the triazolium ring] play an important role in enhancing the stability of the crystal structure.

Salt marshes are unique ecosystems that are brimming with diversity, and provide crucial shelter to coastal communities.

An architecture for fault tolerant feedback controllers based on the Youla parameterization is suggested. It is shown that the Youla parameterization will give a residual vector directly in connection with the fault diagnosis part of the fault tolerant feedback controller. It turns out that there is a separation between the feedback controller and the fault tolerant part. The closed loop feedba...

This paper presented a novel decentralized fault tolerant control strategy for the control of linear multivariable processes. The multiple model based fault tolerant method is used to improve system performance (under model uncertainty and slow variation) and implement active fault tolerant control. In the mean time, we extended the decentralized unconditional stable control to multiple model c...

This paper considers problems of fault{tolerant information diiusion in a network with cost function. We show that the problem of determining the minimumcost necessary to perform fault{ tolerant gossiping among a given set of participants is NP-hard and give approximate (with respect to the cost) fault-tolerant gossiping algorithms. We also analyze the communication time and communication compl...

Thirty endangered plants of Assam are mentioned in this report. Some measures to ward off the threat are also suggested.
