No full textNot AvailableHerbaceous weeds of forage importance are important to optimize livestock production as they have potential ability to grow under sub-normal rainfall. Among leguminous weeds, species of Indigofera are important for hot arid region. Some of the species like I. cordifolia show high seed yield on poor soils. In non-leguminous weeds the species of Corchorus, Euphorbia and Tribulus are important for high seed yield and soil seed bank in the grazing lands. Among grasses the two arid zone species viz., Dactyloctenium sindicum and Octhochloa compressa are important for nutritional point of view to small ruminants. One vital aspect of weeds utilization is their medicinal value for animal health, which requires attention to the research workers as medicinal forage. There is urgent need to collection and evaluation of potential weeds from range of habitats for adapted ecotypes. Some of these species possesses agronomic potential, thus there is need to work out the agronomic potential of promising weeds which could be used as multicut fodder crop in sole or as intercrop during less rainfall and drought.Not Availabl

No full textNot AvailableThe rising cost and increasing scarcity of livestock feeds necessitated a scientific
probe on utilization of non-conventional feeds on the one hand and use of by-pass
technology on the other to maximize availability and utilization of nutrients for
maximum profitability. Therefore, an attempt was made to economize the ration
of desert sheep by replacement of highpriced cotton seed cake (CSC) and wheat
bran by economical substitutes like de-oiled mustard cake (DMC), formaldehyde
(HCHO)-treated and de-oiled mustard cake, and bakery waste. Mustard cake protein
is highly degradable in rumen (Sampath 1987, 1990). Treatment with 1% HCHO
has been reported to be safe, effective and economical in protecting dietary proteins
from excessive ruminal fermentation (Coetzee, 1970), and thereby resulting in
improvement of growth, daily weight gain and feed conversion efficiency in sheep
(Mathur and Mathur 1989, Ganai 1996).Not Availabl
Book Ends & Odd Books : Publications Refuting Conventional Form from the Banff Centre Library Collection
No full textMathur explains how he "unselected" nearly 200 works for this exhibition of unconventional publications by international artists and authors, recognizing the influence of Ulises Carrion's article "The New Art of Making Books." The author reflects upon the roles of language and poetics, the distinction between book and text, and how politics and power affect the making and reception of these works. 2 bibl. ref

unable to afford supplementary feeding with costly
concentrate mixture. Simultaneously, the grazing/browsing
areas are progressively shrinking with the encroachment by
ever growing humag populatIon necessItating to evolve
cheaper feed mixtures for higher and sustained animal
production (Mathur 1996). In this experiment efforts are made
to reduce the cost of sUpple111cntary feeding of goats by the
introduction of a non-conventional tumba (Citrullus
colocynthis) seed-cake (TSC) a low cost (Rs 2/kg) feed
supplement. The objective of the study is to enhance goat
production with low cost feeding inputs, affordable by
marginal and landless farmers.Not Availabl
Book review: paper tiger: law, bureaucracy and the developmental state in Himalayan India by Nayanika Mathur
No full textFollowing eighteen months of intensive fieldwork, in Paper Tiger: Law, Bureaucracy and the Developmental State in Himalayan India author Nayanika Mathur details the everyday absurdities of bureaucracy in the Himalayan borderlands, showing the frequent gulf between ‘real life’ and the abstract workings of the law. Elisabetta Iob highly recommends this accessible, witty and vividly written book as an outstanding and essential example of ethnographic research
FINANCING COMMUNITY FACILITIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND MEASURE OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA
No full textThis study of the City of San Jose’s Parks and Recreation General Obligation (GO) Bond Measure seeks to identify the politics-, management-, and planning-related lessons learned by the City as it developed its community facilities using the GO bonds proceeds. The study finds that these lessons include: be conservative in what you promise the residents; be prepared for changes in economic environment by identifying supplementary funding sources should the primary source not yield adequate funds; make sure that the jurisdiction is organizationally capable of handling the increased workload; and prepare detailed project plans prior to the bond issuance.Community Infrastructure and Services; Municipal Bonds; Public Finance
An Analytical Criterion for Centrifugal Instability in Non-Axisymmetric Vortices
No full textNon-axisymmetric vortices are ubiquitous in nature; examples include polar vortices in planets, the giant red spot in Jupiter, tornadoes and cyclones on Earth, mesoscale eddies in the ocean. Turbulent flows are furthermore known to be dominated by small- and large-scale vortex structures. Owing to the wide range of applications, knowledge of conditions under which a given vortex becomes unstable is beneficial. Here, the centrifugal instability of two-dimensional, non-axisymmetric vortices in the presence of an axial flow and a background rotation is studied using the local stability approach. The local stability approach, based on geometric optics and similar in formulation to the rapid distortion theory \cite{bib:godeferd2001}, considers the evolution of shortwavelength perturbations along streamlines in the base flow. This approach, developed by Lifschitz Hameiri \cite{bib:lifschitz1991}, is particularly useful for base flows for which a global stability analysis is computationally expensive. A sufficient criterion for centrifugal instability in an axisymmetric vortex with and is first derived by analytically solving the local stability equations for wave vectors that are periodic upon evolution around a closed streamline. This criterion is then heuristically extended to non-axisymmetric vortices and written in terms of integral quantities on a streamline. The criterion is then shown to be accurate in describing centrifugal instability over a reasonably large range of parameters that specify Stuart vortices and Taylor-Green vortices
