Effect of ageing on endogenous auxins, gibberellins and abscissic acid in three species of bamboo seeds in relation to loss of viability during storage
No full textABSTRACT
Bamboo seeds have a very low viability for short duration of 1-2 months. So the effect of growth regulator plays important role to understand its low viability. Three important growth regulators have been estimated from the fresh as well as aged seed samples stored for 18 months for both naturally and controlled aged seeds using HPLC technique. i.e auxins, gibberellins and abscissic acid. In this study, while fresh seeds showed decrease in the activity of ABA, which increases with ageing. While level of auxins and gibberellins showed decline in activity with ageing. Activity of auxins, gibberellins and abscissic acid was assessed of all the three species of bamboos Dendrocalamus strictus, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii and Bambosa bambos till period of 18 months. Both development and germination processes in seeds are regulated by hormonal interaction. Thus suggesting auxins, gibberellins and abscissic acid are critical in germination, promotory effect of IAA on germination.

Jewish women's writing as a new category of affect
No full textThe chapter, "Jewish women's writing as a new category of affect" was written by Richa Dwor (Douglas College Faculty). Bringing together scholars from literary, historical, and religious studies,Constructing Nineteenth-Century Religion interrogates the seemingly obvious category of 'religion.' This collection argues that any application of religion engages in complex and relatively modern historical processes. In considering the various ways that nineteenth-century religion was constructed, commodified, and practiced, contributors to this volume 'speak' to each other, finding interdisciplinary links and resonances across a range of texts and contexts. The participle in its title - Constructing - acknowledges that any articulation of nineteenth-century religion is never just a work of the past: scholars also actively construct religion as their disciplinary assumptions (and indeed personal and lived investments) shape their research and findings. Constructing Nineteenth-Century Religion newly analyzes the diverse ways in which religion was debated and deployed in a wide range of nineteenth-century texts and contexts. While focusing primarily on nineteenth-century Britain, the collection also contributes to the increasingly transnational and transcultural outlook of postsecular studies, drawing connections between Britain and the United States, continental Europe, and colonial India. Part of the "Literature, religion, and post secular studies" series. --From publisher description.Published
The curious absence of Gandhi from the Indian constitution: The history we don't remember
No full textGandhi, the father of our nation, lovingly called our Bapu, was a man of extreme caliber and vibrant skills. A highly pragmatic person who displayed an extraordinary excellence in a multitude of arenas of life, ranging from the personal to the political, he had a unique touch of originality in his thought and action. As India and the world celebrates his 150h birth anniversary, one feels compelled to question as to why Gandhi did not leave a lasting impression on the constitution of the nation that he led to the attainment of swaraj. In this paper, the author argues that Gandhi, who was both a practicing barrister and an excellent constitutional draftsman, did have his own vision of how an Indian Constitution should look like, with the village panchayats constituting the core of this vision. Gandhian experiments in constitutionalism were largely able to weave out a successful model, with the Aundh Constitution of 1939 being its living example. These experiments reflected the possibility of producing a wholly indigenous constitution for free India. This paper also argues that after a perusal of the Constituent Assembly Debates, in the ultimate analysis, one concludes that Gandhi was reduced to a footnote, his ideas being afforded some space in the Directive Principles of State Policy. The paper finally argues that Gandhi's was a quest for decolonization of the Indian mind, in which he could not succeed, perhaps inevitably so. This culminated in the production of a "modern" "post-colonial constitution, filled with traces of the colonial narrative, and surrounded by a deafening silence of the indigenous political narratives around it. Gandhi's failure reflected the failure of the discourse of the freedom movement, which demanded abandoning the imperial narratives of "justice as liberty and equity", and advocated a radical shift towards a yearning for "transcendental freedom"

Vulnerability analysis using evidence-based traceability in the grain supply chain
Get PDFBackground and Objectives: This article analyses the approach of identifying critical traceability events (CTE) and corresponding key data elements (KDE). The CTE–KDE approach is evidence-based that identifies, and documents activities. It can be easily performed by (i) auditors; (ii) food manufacturers/processors; (iii) food suppliers to access gaps in process and supply chain. For example, for a grain processor storage of grain is identified as a CTE performed under grain elevator, and the necessary KDE includes the location of storage bin and supplier details. The CTE–KDE approach requires verifiable data, and the ability to assess graduated levels of success based on data. This article proposes the use of vulnerability analysis to predict levels of success in each CTE–KDE situation.
Significance and Novelty: A vulnerability analysis model identifies, quantifies, and prioritizes various factors responsible for reducing the efficacy of a system. Vulnerability analysis measures system attributes (data) related to: (i) frequency of occurrence; (ii) degree of impact of occurrence; and (iii) likelihood of detection. This article applies vulnerability analysis as a standard method for identifying when and how a traceability system will fail. Vulnerability analysis of an evidence-based CTE–KDE framework accounts for complex interactions among supply chain participants' critical activities. The need for standard measures of evaluating traceability systems is clear. Such analysis must restrict CTE to be measurable events and key data elements to measurable system attributes.This article is published as Sharma, Richa, Charles Hurburgh, and Gretchen A. Mosher.
