Abstract: Irrigation may be done with canals or by lifting the underground water. First is a large-scale project, which cannot be afforded by individuals, besides the canal water cannot reach every point. Therefore, there is a need of lift irrigation, may be it ground water or canal. In Haryana tubewells and canals are major sources like wells and tanks, but are negligible. The sources of irrigation will depends upon various factors, such as surface configuration, rock structure, water table, quality and quantity of ground water, proximity and extent of water potential catchments area, soil profile of land etc. Haryana, main sources of agricultural irrigation are canals and tubewells. The total number of tubewells and pumping sets are 6,12,023 in Agriculture year 2005-06 whereas the number of main canals and branches are 1,510 in the year 2004-05. The net irrigated area by different sources in the state and percentage of area irrigated by different sources to total net irrigated area of state in 2004-05. This table indicates that tubewells are the most important sources of irrigation. Out of the total irrigated area (8954 thousand hectare), 51.25 percent is irrigated by tube wells, 48.30% is irrigated by govt. canals and 0.47 is irrigated by others source by irrigation (Table 4.1). Out of Net Sown Area of state i.e. 3528 thousand hectares, 295.4 thousand hectare area is irrigated by different means of irrigation.

编者按:北京北方工业大学李小坚教授说:“2016年主流弦物理宣布失败,2017年温伯格揭示了M弦理论的老将威滕和将军们,现在放弃了该理论。威滕已经转向;温伯格已经清醒;胡夫特已经明白”一样。其实科学界主流,走过1869门捷列夫研究的元素周期表150周年的实践,和走过1919年卡鲁扎研究的五维及后弦物理100周年的实践,不是走到尽头,而是与时俱进,都已共同一齐走进了拓扑物理学量子色动化学-超弦理论人工智能“量霸”的广阔天地----体现这一深度思想能感受到的的,是学习王飞跃教授2019321日在《科学网》博客上,发表的人工智能会取代人类吗?一定不行》一文中,类似表达的“21世纪新超弦物理学”能摘录编辑的以下内容----所谓“21世纪新超弦物理学”比较超弦理论,不可弯道超车,必须创立新的直道,换道平行超车。

Abstract: The process whereby natural chemicals synthetic materials are added to soil to improve the soil properties is known as soil stabilization. A lateritic soil classified as sandy clay (CL) and A-6 (4) according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO classification system respectively, was treated with up to 8% eggshell powder to assess its suitability and determine the optimal percentage stabilization. Eggshells are waste of poultries, homes and fast food industries and its components have been discovered to contain calcium compounds as lime and can therefore be used in soil stabilization. Tests were carried out to determine the index properties, compaction characteristics (maximum dry density, MDD and optimum moisture content, OMC), and strength characteristics (California bearing ratio, CBR). Test results show that the Atterberg limits (liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index) generally decreased, MDD and OMC increased and decreased respectively with higher eggshell content. Generally, CBR increased from 6.2 % for 0% eggshell powder content up to 37.7 % for 6% content before slightly decreasing at 8% to 31.5% CBR. Based on laboratory test CBR values at 6 % optimal stabilization content was achieved.

Abstract: This paper investigated the effect of moisture content on the structural engineering properties of concrete made by partially replacing natural aggregate with Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA). Seventy-two 150mm concrete cubes were cast to determine the density and compressive strength of Recycled Coarse Aggregate Concrete (RCAC) at two varying percentages of RCA content of 0%, Normal Concrete (NC) and 25% and at different water-cement (w/c) ratios of 0.45, 0.5 and 0.55. Eighteen concrete cylinders (150mm x 300mm) were also cast to determine the splitting tensile strength of RCAC at the same varying w/c ratios as the cubes. The results showed that incorporation of RCA in concrete reduces workability of concrete because of the rough texture of RCA particles, the adhered mortar on the RCA and increased surface area due to the angular shape of RCA. For compressive strength, the maximum compressive strength for RCA concrete was 28.15N/mm2 at 0.45 w/c ratio while that of normal concrete was 30N/mm2 at 0.5 w/c ratio. Generally, for RCA concrete, compressive and splitting tensile strength reduces as the w/c ratio increases. The maximum splitting tensile strength recorded for both normal concrete and RCA concrete was at w/c = 0.45 and are given as 4.44N/mm2 and 4.0N/mm2 respectively.

Abstract: Health is a basic need along with food, shelter, and education and is a precondition for productivity and growth. Health care infrastructures have a major influence on the well-being of individuals and societies, and are an important part of a nation's politics and economy. The present paper aims to analyze the spatial and temporal variation in health care infrastructure from 1970-1971 to 2001-2011. The present paper is based on secondary data. The statistical tools i.e. Karl Pearson correlation of coefficient method and t-test has been used for the present study. The main finding of the present paper is that there has been a considerable increase in medical institutions such as hospital, PHC, CHC, Sub-center and Dispensary.

Abstract: There are two seasons i.e. Rabi season and Kharif season. Different types of pesticides are purchased in these seasons depending upon type of diseases and crops grown, etc. The following table is showing the result of purchase of pesticides in terms of %age in different seasons. Crop wise estimate shows that Rice required more Pesticide reflected by the high mean score of 3.95. Seed is another highly pesticide requiring crop having mean score of 3.72. Vegetable also requires more quantity of pesticides followed by wheat, their mean score being 3.58 and 3.46 respectively. Sugarcane and Sunflowers required less quantity of pesticides in comparison to other type of crops. Cotton requires lesser pesticides (mean 1.92). Study concluded that Rice is a major crop, which requires more quantity of pesticides. Before making purchase decisions farmers consider various factors such as reference group, dealer/retailer, company representative, advertisement, etc. Data have been collected on four-point interval scale.

Relationship between company characteristics and divided policy: Payments in overall analysis

Abstract: The regression coefficients of interest payment have negative values during most of the years and were found statistically significant for twelve years out of sixteen years of study. This suggests that there was a negative relationship between dividend payment and interest paid by the companies. It means companies having more burden of interest payment show a tendency to pay fewer dividends. Likewise in case of debt equity ratio regression coefficients have negative values during most of the years under study, which suggests that there was a negative relationship between debt equity ratio and dividend payment. It means levered firms pay fewer dividends then the unlevered ones. The regression coefficients of current ratio have negative sign during most of the years. This suggests that there was a negative relationship between current ratio and dividend payment, which was contrary to the hypothesis. The above analysis was also supported by the value of coefficients of determinants r2 which ranges between 0.59 and 0.99. This indicates that the independent variables have been causing more than seventy per cent of the variation in dividend paid by the companies under study. The F values also indicate that independent variables are the important determinants of current dividend. The Durbin Watson test which has been applied to examine the existence of autocorrelation in the cross sectional data series reveals the absence of autocorrelation in each year of the study as its values are near 2. Hence, the results of the model give reliable estimates.

中国秘史----类比暴露组学和基因组学联系的研究 ----从盐亭学到重庆学 从历史智能到人工智能

Abstract: 摘要: 暴露组学从名词提出,到现在大概10年有余。从2017年开始,进入高速发展阶段,;今天的暴露组学,大致处于20年前基因组学的发展阶段。美国最早开始提暴露组的是NIH----加州伯克利、埃默里大学都是暴露组学起步比较早的地方。西奈山医学院2017 年成立的美国第一家暴露组学研究所,是借助美国医学院间的网络,来推动暴露组学研究。201811月在美国西奈山医学院召开的第二届暴露组学会议,就相当于20年前基因组学的发展阶段。也许接下来的10年内,它的研究经费与成果可能出现井喷。暴露组学研究什么呢?它的基本问题跟基因组学差不多----一个人健康与否,基因组学认为更多依赖基因。伴随测序技术的进步,针对个人的测序,已经是可负担的了。但暴露组学认为,人的健康状态除了基因外,还要考虑表观遗传、蛋白组、代谢组与日常暴露,甚至还要考虑诸如地理位置、社会经济地位、肠道微生物组等的作用。
