Effect of Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) on oil content and quality of the mustard plant (Brassica Campestries L.)
No full textAn experiment was carried out to evaluate the biochemical response of mustard to naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Six levels of NAA such as G0 (no NAA or control), G1 (30 ppm ha-1), G2 (50 ppm ha-1), G3 (70 ppm ha-1), G4 (90 ppm ha-1) and G5 (110 ppm ha-1) were tested. The leaf chlorophyll content was recorded at 30, 40, 50 and 60 days after emergence (DAE). The NAA significantly influenced the biochemical property. The highest chlorophyll level was recorded in 70 ppm NAA ha-1 at 50 DAE. At 45 DAE, the highest nitrogen content was noted in 70 ppm NAA ha-1. The 70 ppm NAA ha-1 also showed the maximum oil content. The minimum acid value, peroxide and saponification values were found in 70 ppm NAA ha-1. The maximum iodine value was observed in 70 ppm NAA ha-1. Nonessential chemicals likes stearic, palmitic and erucic acid were augmented in the mustard with a decrease in the NAA level while necessary fatty acids were highest in 70 ppm NAA ha-1. It is suggested that 70 ppm NAA ha-1 can be used to grow quality mustard plants
Bras are not for burning: the bra and young urban women in Delhi and Bombay
No full textScholars have analysed the meanings of western outer-clothes worn by women in India, however these studies seldom discuss the semi-hidden bra. Whereas the panty through the ‘Pink Chaddis’ campaign has been used as a symbolic tool of female power and resistance in India, the power meanings of the bra remain ambiguous. Bras have not been discussed as symbolic markers of female empowerment like chaddis, nor can be assumed objects of male oppression as in the history of western feminism.This chapter explores the bra and its proximity to young (18–24 year old) urban Indian women’s bodies; the ambiguity of its hidden yet publicly viewed nature which discloses tensions of the sexualised female body and changing ideals of Indian femininities that outer western garments cannot always reveal. I discuss how the bra lends insight into Indian women’s bodies as paradoxical spaces of public and private power as India begins to rapidly urbanise. A power-play between that of an increase in the moral policing of urban Indian women’s sartorial identities and the emerging bi-cultural youth identities resisting these moral codes of dressing.Taken from a qualitative study between 2010–2014, the author discusses how the bra in India centres on the discourse of shame and the anxieties of western modernity recycled from the Indian independence movement. Author reveals how patriarchal codes of shame are questioned by the symbolic meanings of power that young urban Indian women attach to their bras

The Begum\u27s Millions
No full textVerne\u27s first cautionary tale about the dangers of science ― first modern and corrected English translation.
When two European scientists unexpectedly inherit an Indian rajah\u27s fortune, each builds an experimental city of his dreams in the wilds of the American Northwest. France-Ville is a harmonious urban community devoted to health and hygiene, the specialty of its French founder, Dr. François Sarrasin. Stahlstadt, or City of Steel, is a fortress-like factory town devoted to the manufacture of high-tech weapons of war. Its German creator, the fanatically pro-Aryan Herr Schultze, is Verne\u27s first truly evil scientist. In his quest for world domination and racial supremacy, Schultze decides to showcase his deadly wares by destroying France-Ville and all its inhabitants. Both prescient and cautionary, The Begum\u27s Millions is a masterpiece of scientific and political speculation and constitutes one of the earliest technological utopia/dystopias in Western literature. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices, and a critical introduction as well as all the illustrations from the original French edition.https://digitalcommons.odu.edu/worldlanguages_books/1018/thumbnail.jp
Women in environmental disasters: the 1991 cyclone in Bangladesh
No full textThe author is a female relief worker who has seen first-hand how women are more vulnerable than men to natural disasters, and in their aftermath. She explores why women are more likely to die in environmental disasters, and why emergency relief aid often fails to benefit women. Begum makes recommendations for ensuring that women's needs are taken into account when planning and delivering relief work.

Reason: ETDs are only available to UIUC Users without author permissionThis thesis focusses on the life and work of one of India's most famous female singers, Begum Akhtar (1914-1974). On the one hand, it provides a brief biography and a summary of her musical accomplishments; particular attention is paid to her contributions to the genre for which she was most renowned, a musical-poetic form known as the underbar ghazal. Further to this, however, the thesis examines the manner in which the establishment of and alterations in gender roles and hierarchies, in coordination with other power relationships-- particularly those involving class and patronage shifts, moral issues, ethnic/religious concerns, and nationalist versus colonialist ideologies--affected her life and work, as well as attitudes regarding the woman and her art.Akhtar lived through a period of rapid and structural change in Indian society. Her life overlapped the transitional period in India from the pre-independence era of anti-colonial struggle to the early years of independence. Like other professional women of her class she was, coincidentally, a product of these changing times, an agent of transformation, and one of the victims. Throughout the latter part of her life Begum Akhtar bore the anguish of being caught between two moral standards, one consistent with her early role as a bai (courtesan singer) under nawabi feudal patronage, and the other with her later status as a begam in democratic India. Her dilemma, while personal, was at the same time that of a nation which, under the burden of colonial influence--in the quest for a new image and a socio-cultural, political, economic and moral restructuring--was attempting the excision of a crucial component of its own artistic self."This work presents both the dominant discourse and an alternate reading regarding a transitional period in the history of modern India, and the role that women (and particularly ""professional"" women) played within that; and it does so through a focus on the life and art of one of the leading female musical figures of the era."Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:22:37Z (GMT).

SEMESTER: JANUARY-JUNE, 2021ABSTRACT
Xanthomonas citri pv. ctitri (Xcc), causing citrus canker - the most devastating disease of
citrus, has been studied through biochemical analysis, morphological characterization and invitro
management by selected botanicals. The laboratory works has been done at Central
Laboratory of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. In biochemical
test, the pathogen reacted on Gram Staining and Kovac’s negative but the isolate was positive
for KOH. All isolates were found rod shaped, with colony colour ranging from yellow to pale
yellow with mucoid surface. Altogether 100 fruits and 300 leaves samples were collected
from three markets and four nurseries of Dhaka districts, respectively and pathogenicity of
Xanthomonas citri was tested. The isolates showed varied reactions in the symptoms
development. In total, eighteen isolates from infected fruits and twenty one isolates from
infected leaves were characterized. The isolates viz. Xcc-F-1, Xcc-F-2, Xcc-F-3, Xcc-F-4,
Xcc-F-5 and Xcc-F-6 were found highly virulent and produced typical symptoms at the point
of inoculation within 13 to 15 days while isolates Xcc-F-1 to Xcc-F-21 developed symptoms
within 12 to 15 days in leaves. Six botanical extracts namely, Neem (T
1
), Tulsi (T
2
), Ginger
(T
3
), Turmeric (T
4
), Garlic (T
5
), and Onion (T
6
) were evaluated for their efficacy against
Xanthomonas citri. Zingiber officinale (Ginger) showed the highest 15.87 ± 0.0 mm and 9.40
± 0.0 mm diameter inhibition zone against the isolated bacteria in 1:1 (25g) and 1:2 (100g)
concentrations, respectively followed by 7.50 ± 0.0 mm diameter recorded in Azadiricta
indica in 1:4 concentration. Allium sativum extract showed the lowest 8.0, 6.70 and 5.83 mm
diameter of inhibition against the isolated bacteria in all concentrations. The present
investigation concludes that there exist pathological and biochemical variations amongst the
different isolates of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri and the tested botanicals showed promising
performances in control the pathogen in- vitro
