Assessments of Water Quality and Plankton Diversity in the Baur Reservoir, Uttarakhand, India
No full textThe current investigation was conducted between January and December of 2022. During the study period water quality was studied in Baur reservoirs two spot, one spot is a barrage area, and the second one is four kilometers away from the first one. The present study is done in Baur Reservoir, which is switched to Gularbhoj in Udham Singh district. Reservoir water is used for irrigation and domestic purposes. Many villages are located near the reservoir, so due to human interaction, water quality may be affected. For this reason, the present study finds parameters of water so we can identify the present water quality status, as we know many similar work done all over India but in this study we find present condition which may be change from past condition and as we know climatic condition are change now days so we can find rainfall in every month and other parameters of reservoir. Various quality parameters are measured, including PH, water temperature, DO, CO2, total alkalinity, total solid, turbidity, total suspended solids and total dissolved solids. All the parameters are within the permissible limit and suitable for domestic use, pisciculture, and agriculture. Water quality parameters have been observed to vary and, with the exception of temperature, all show a positive correlation with the production of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the chosen reservoirs. These parameters include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, and total dissolved solids. The temperature varies from 240c+ 60c, the pH varies from 7.0 + 2, the dissolved oxygen range varies from 7+ 3, range of carbon dioxide varies from 6+ 5, the humidity range is 50+25, and rainfall throughout varying the all study period. All the physico-chemical parameters are the relation to plankton diversity. In this study, we also find plankton diversity status in Baur reservoir. Plankton diversity can also help to find out the water quality; healthy plankton growth may relate to water quality as well as fish diversity. In the following study, we find the groups Copepoda, Clyadocera, and Rotifera, each containing 6, 6 and 2 respectively. The groups Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophycae each contain 29 and 23, respectively, phytoplankton taxa. The study looked at the association between group variation in physico-chemical parameters for the Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, and Euglenophyceae. With the help of this study, we can find the pollutant status and water quality level in the Baur reservoir. All the water quality parameters are under safety level and are good for irrigation purposes and for domestic use. They can filtrate, and may relevant department may take action for tourist activity that causes pollution in reservoir water

Light microscopic characterization of camallanid nematode parasitizing Tor putitora (Hamilton, 1822) in Mahakali River, Nepal
No full textHelminth parasites infect a wide variety of fish, with nematodes being widely distributed pathogens, especially in wild fish. The present study aimed to document the morphological characteristics of camallanid nematode infecting the golden mahseer (Tor putitora) fish in the Mahakali River along the Nepal-India border of Kanchanpur district, Nepal. Fish samples (n=157) were collected from Khalla and Bhujela areas in the river and nearby markets from March 2023 to February 2024. As revealed by light microscopy, the morphology of the present nematode species closely resembled the Asian freshwater fish nematode Camallanus cotti Fujita, 1927. Notable features included translucent red color in the fresh specimen, a pale yellow buccal capsule with longitudinal ridges and lateral valves, two amphids, eight cephalic papillae, two sclerotic plates, a basal ring separating the oesophagus from the buccal cavity, prongs of tridents extending beyond the basal ring, inconspicuous nerve ring in the muscular oesophagus, deirids at the beginning of glandular oesophagus, oesophagus with short anterior muscular and long posterior glandular portion, pre equatorial vulva and uterus confined in the posterior part of the body containing first stage larvae in gravid female, long tail and finely striated cuticle. The study, thus, confirmed that the camallanid nematode parasitizing freshwater fish golden mahseer is C. cotti.
Towards a theoretically based Group Facilitation Technique for Project Teams
No full textA theoretical framework for developing the group facilitation technique PROMOD is presented here. The efficiency of this technique in improving group decision quality is supported by the results of three experimental studies involving different kinds of problem solving tasks. The author points towards the importance of integrating theoretical assumptions, theory testing and basic research with empirical application. Such a compelling strategy can lead to new insights in group performance dynamics as well as further developments in this field, as it provides the necessary conditions to systematically initiate positive effects and to prevent negative effects during group interaction. In all three experiments the teams observed performed best when the PROMOD procedure was applied
Virtuelle Teams - geringe Kosten, geringer Nutzen? Zur Leistungsverbesserung von Kleingruppen beim Problemlösen durch elektronische Moderation
No full text"Die Lösung von Problemen und die Entscheidung von strategischen Maßnahmen werden
häufig Expertengruppen übertragen, da man sich Vorteile von ihrer Zusammenarbeit gegenüber
einzeln arbeitenden Personen erhofft. Jedoch kennzeichnen Prozessverluste die Zusammenarbeit
von natürlich interagierenden Gruppen, so dass viele Moderationstechniken
wie die PROzedurale MODeration (PROMOD) entwickelt wurden, die das Ausmaß der
Schwierigkeiten reduzieren. In dieser Studie wurde getestet, ob PROMOD auch im virtuellen
Raum die Leistungsfähigkeit von Gruppen und Einzelpersonen verbessern kann (N = 180).
Dazu wurde ihnen einen Interpolationsproblem (vgl. Dörner, 1976) vorgelegt, welches in moderierten
und unmoderierten Bedingungen unter Verwendung von einem Chat-Programm
und elektronischen Formularen gelöst werden sollte. Dieser Effekt konnte für eines der beiden
erhobenen Leistungsmaße gezeigt werden (p = .0245)."[Autorenreferat]"Problem solving and strategic decision-making is frequently delegated to groups of experts
because one assumes performance advantages over individuals as results of their collaboration.
As a matter of fact, process loss characterizes the working of freely interacting groups
much better. Therefore, facilitation-techniques like PROMOD (PROzedurale MODeration or
procedural facilitation) have been developed to reduce the process loss collaborating teams
have to cope with (Lecher, & Witte, 2003). The aim of this study was to investigate whether
PROMOD can also improve performance of teams and individuals in a virtual setting (N =
180). Subjects had to solve an interpolation-problem (see Dörner, 1976) under facilitated and
non-facilitated conditions while using a chat-program and electronic forms. Improvements
were found to be significant in one of two performance-measures (p = .0245)."[author´s abstract
Mining a Ubiquitous Time and Attendance Schema Using Random Forests for Intrusion Detection
No full textAbstractOur case study used Random Forest to measure the intrusion of unauthorized personnel to certain designated areas of the organization. Intrusions happening at high security areas could cost the organization in terms of loss of material and in worst cases of lives as well. The time attendance system also act as a security system as it involves access to doors and barriers through which only authorized personnel should access
Toward a Group Facilitation Technique for Project Teams
No full textThis article presents the development of a group facilitation technique (PROMOD — Procedural Moderation). The author points toward the importance of integrating theoretical assumptions, theory testing and basic empirical research with practical application. The results are based on the observation of various three-member task groups faced with a complex non-heureka problem. These comprise naturally interacting groups, simple arithmetic assembled groups of individuals without any interaction (synthetic groups), and groups in which a group technique of reduced interaction which focuses on individual contribution through facilitated knowledge elicitation is applied.The task involves decisions on what to do after a plane crash and ranking objects with regard to their importance for survival in an alarming situation (Lafferty & Pond, 1974). The group decision quality is determined by relating to conclusions reached by an independent expert. Results indicate that the observed teams performed best when the PROMOD procedure was applied
Writing special procedures and subroutines on TK Solver to solve for linear/nonlinear electric circuits
No full textThe purpose of the study was to write special subroutines and procedures on the TK Solver, an equationsolving software, to solve for electrical engineering network problems and to apply the TK Solver to some other areas of electrical engineering. A main Model, System. TK , has been created to solve for linear electrical engineering networks. The model is expert in the sense that the user does not have to demonstrate his knowledge of network analysis by actually typing in the network equations. The user interaction with the software takes place on the screen, where the user has to declare the network components, their numerical values, number of nodes, the right-hand column matrix and the frequency for which the response is desired. The admittance matrix y is automatically created by the subroutines coge and cogel. The capability of expressing the result in both tabular and plot form has also been displayed. The supporting features of this model are gain, power and transfer function calculation. Another supporting model performing mesh analysis on resistive circuits has also been created and is called Matrix. TK . The user, in this model, has to feed in the number of loops and number of resistors along with the resistor values and then has to establish the presence of a resistor in a particular loop by writing 1 or 0 in a pre-generated matrix. Merely pressing F9 gives the values of loop currents. All the associated voltages can also be found out by the same model. These two models can be used by students to do problems, can be used by instructors to correct assignments and can be used in the design projects for synthesis purposes. As the second part of the thesis objective, various models have been created in different fields of electrical engineering to show the applicability of the TK Solver to those fields. Every model shows different capabilities of the TK Solver. In many of these models, special subroutines have been written by the author to accomplish the model objectives
