Collecting circumstances Collected at night by light after dusk.Published as part of Devanshu Gupta, Kailash Chandra & Aleš Bezděk, 2017, Pukupuku arunachalensis sp. nov.

Dealing with Noise and Vibration in Automotive Industry
No full textAbstractThe present day automotive industry looks for every option to attract the customers with products which will be generating lower noise, consume lesser fuel but also be equally powerful. This unique requirement drives the motivation for building each and every aspect of a dynamical system to be represented in the math model. The product should be durable, less noisy, powerful, as well as elegant. The most challenging factor among these requirements is system noise and vibration, because better comfort means less noisy as perceived by the customers. Few years before almost all the major automotive industry were relaying with FEM and BEM based approach for building the model for addressing low and mid frequency issues (up to 3000Hz). The aim of this paper is to provide a review of literature on the analysis techniques and validation methods used to address NVH issue in power-train systems, and also it covers the analysis procedures on present and future trend
Optimization of N dose in rice under conservation agriculture with sub-surface drip fertigation
No full textA field study was framed in rice crop under conservation agriculture (CA) based rice-wheat system at experimental
farm of Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA)-CIMMYT, Ladhowal, Punjab, India during kharif 2019. In the
present study, nine treatments were imposed out of which four are CA-based treatments (ZT-N0, ZT-N50, ZT-N75
and ZT-N100), four are CA coupled with subsurface drip fertigation (CA+) based treatments (SSD-N0,SSD-N50,
SSD-N75 and SSD-N100) and puddled transplanted rice (PTR) treatment as farmer’s practice. The findings of the
study showed that PTR treatment out yielded in terms of yield attributing characters and biological yield than other
treatments. CA+ treatment (SSD-N100) resulted higher biological yield (2.8%) than CA-based treatments (ZT-N100).
SSD-N100 dominated ZT-N100 and PTR treatment in terms of plant N content (both grain and straw), total N uptake
and N harvest index. PTR treatment resulted 22-33% higher ANUE than ZT-N100 and SSD-N100 treatments
