Energy use in the rice-wheat crop production system is a major emitter of global GHG emissions. Understanding of input-wise energy flows in the production system is vital to optimize input-output and also is essential to estimate GHG emissions and Global Warming Potential. Doon valley has energy-intensive agriculture practices and a survey-based assessment was undertaken in Doon valley covering 63 farms. The study estimated total input energy for rice-wheat cultivation as 63825 and 50799 MJha -1 respectively. Main contributors are electricity, fertilizer and diesel for both crops, however irrigation water is also a significant contributor in rice. The yield per unit energy use is relatively low and warrants better crop management practices to reduce the environmental footprint of the rice-wheat cropping system.
水稻-小麦作物生产系统的能源使用是全球温室气体排放的主要排放源。了解生产系统中按投入方向的能量流动对于优化投入产出至关重要,对于估计温室气体排放和全球变暖潜势也至关重要。都恩河谷采用能源密集型农业做法,在都恩河谷开展了一项基于调查的评估,涵盖了63个农场。研究估计稻麦栽培的总投入能量分别为63825和50799 MJha -1。这两种作物的主要贡献是电力、化肥和柴油,但灌溉用水也是水稻的重要贡献。单位能源使用的产量相对较低,需要更好的作物管理实践,以减少稻麦种植系统的环境足迹。

This study reviews groundwater status and management based on the existing literature regarding its resource endowment, hydrogeology, challenges and issues of management and policy suggestions for India. Efficient management requires decoupling groundwater rights from land-ownership rights, changes in electricity pricing and metering, aquifer-based plans for storage and replenishment, and empowerment of participatory irrigation management for local management. Issues of water–food–energy nexus, climate change, carbon footprint of groundwater extraction and virtual water trade are also important for ensuring sustainable management of groundwater resources.
本研究基于对印度地下水资源禀赋、水文地质、挑战和管理问题以及政策建议的现有文献,综述了地下水的现状和管理。有效的管理需要将地下水权利与土地所有权分离,改变电力定价和计量,基于含水层的储存和补给计划,以及为地方管理赋予参与式灌溉管理权力。水-粮食-能源关系、气候变化、地下水开采的碳足迹和虚拟水贸易等问题对确保地下水资源的可持续管理也很重要。

A large volume of overlying waste material is removed to access deep-seated mineral deposits and stored near mines or eventually dumped as backfill. Overburden is stored in stacked dumps due to space constraints and high stripping ratios. The height and slope of these overburden dumps are enormous. This study is a parametric evaluation of the impact of interface and blast-ing-induced seismic loading on the stability of dump structures having total heights varying between 60 and 120 m. The study reveals that for 20 ° of internal friction of the interface, a factor of safety (FoS) of the slope structure increases with increasing cohesion (10–30 kPa). However, as the friction angle increases from 20 ° to 25 ° , the relative increase in FoS is reduced. Thus FoS remains unchanged with increasing cohesion for a friction angle of 29 ° . The stability of the dump reduces when subjected to blasting-induced seismic loading. The damage is more due to the shock waves imposing seismic loading in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction.
大量上覆的废料被移走,进入深层矿床,储存在矿山附近,或最终作为回填物倾倒。由于空间限制和高剥离率,覆盖层储存在堆积场中。这些堆积场的高度和坡度都很大。本研究对总高度在60 ~ 120 m之间的排土场结构进行了界面和爆破地震荷载对其稳定性影响的参数化评价。研究表明,在界面内摩擦为20°时,随着黏聚力(10 ~ 30 kPa)的增加,边坡结构的安全系数(FoS)增大。然而,随着摩擦角从20°增加到25°,FoS的相对增幅减小。因此,摩擦角为29°时,随着黏聚力的增加,FoS保持不变。在爆破地震荷载作用下,排土场的稳定性降低。水平方向的震波比垂直方向的震波对结构的破坏更大。

: The lime works in India’s desert region were executed by a technique that is characteristically different from other parts of the country. The area is very hot and the high evaporation of water due to heat and less rain has caused salinity to the groundwater. Due to local climatic conditions, the decorative works of Rajasthan were executed on a shiny white plaster by a technique locally named Ala-Gila which is sometimes compared with the true fresco of Italy. The Persian colonial arts also flourished in this part and the color palette suddenly changed from vibrant to more shiny colors in the paintings. In this work, the microscopic observation of thin section was utilized to investigate geological and fine morphological features of the 16th century Amber fort lime plaster-a WHS site and a very popular tourist destination. The FTIR, XRD, and SEM photomicrographs of the plasters showed the stabilization of different crystalline phases of polymorphs of calcium carbonate. The chemical analysis and SEM-EDX data denote dolomitic limestone probably sourced for plaster works. The high amount of magnesium present in the raw material, the environmental conditions at the time of the application of the plaster, pH, etc. have stabilized calcite polymorphs in the plaster. The calcite meta-stable phases have undergone dissolution with time making the plaster weak. This has increased porosity, permeability, and resultant lowering of plaster's mechanical strength. The thermal analysis and cementation index of the plaster showed the use of non-hydraulic binder-rich air-lime for plaster works. The granulometric study showed the mixing of reddish-brown sand-size grains, and the aggregates were probably from the same location for major construction activity. The low proportion of aggregates led to reduced mechanical strength, and the is vulnerable to damage. It is to a major restoration of the ancient lime works with compatible materials as per analytical data
印度沙漠地区的石灰工程采用了一种与该国其他地区截然不同的技术。该地区非常炎热,由于高温和少雨,水的高度蒸发导致地下水含盐量高。由于当地的气候条件,拉贾斯坦邦的装饰作品是用一种当地称为Ala-Gila的技术在闪亮的白色石膏上完成的,这种技术有时会与意大利的真正壁画相比较。波斯殖民艺术也在这一地区蓬勃发展,绘画中的调色板突然从充满活力的颜色变成了更闪亮的颜色。本研究利用薄切片显微观察的方法,研究了16世纪琥珀堡石灰灰泥的地质和精细形态特征。琥珀堡石灰灰泥是世界文物保护遗址,也是一个非常受欢迎的旅游目的地。石膏的FTIR, XRD和SEM显微照片显示了碳酸钙多晶体的不同晶相的稳定性。化学分析和SEM-EDX数据显示白云岩可能来源于石膏工程。原料中镁的含量高,石膏应用时的环境条件,pH值等都稳定了石膏中方解石的多晶态。方解石的亚稳定相随着时间的推移发生溶解,使石膏变弱。这增加了孔隙度和渗透性,从而降低了石膏的机械强度。石膏的热分析和胶结指标表明,非水力富粘结剂气石灰可用于石膏工程。粒度研究表明,混合了红褐色砂粒大小的颗粒,并且聚集体可能来自同一地点的主要建筑活动。骨料比例过低导致混凝土的机械强度降低,易发生损伤。根据分析数据,这是对古代石灰工程的重大修复,使用兼容的材料

Most projects across the world are built under the public–private partnership (PPP) module. In the highway sector, the highway projects are built by the con-cessioner, and in lieu of that, he generates revenue by collecting tolls from road users. The toll plazas built across the highways to collect tolls act as a bottleneck in highway facilities. Although the toll collection system has been improved worldwide, users are still expe-riencing an enormous delay at toll plazas due to congestion, especially in developing countries like India. This congestion is caused due to various factors such as long service time, an inadequate number of windows, traffic volume, categories of toll rates, etc., which lead to delay, degradation of capacity, and level of service. Different researchers in their countries have analysed all these factors. The present article gives a detailed literature review summarizing various studies on the different parameters related to toll plazas and proposes research gaps from the perspective of developing countries. The challenges and methodology for evaluating various parameters are also discussed, and a way for-ward for future research is suggested.
世界上大多数项目都是在公私伙伴关系(PPP)模式下建设的。在高速公路部门,高速公路项目是由特许经营者建造的,而作为替代,他通过向道路使用者收取通行费来产生收入。在高速公路上修建收费广场收取通行费,成为高速公路设施的瓶颈。尽管世界范围内的收费系统已经得到了改善,但由于拥堵,用户在收费广场仍然会遇到巨大的延误,特别是在印度等发展中国家。这种拥堵是由于服务时间长、窗口数量不足、交通量、收费类别等多种因素造成的,从而导致延误、容量下降和服务水平下降。各自国家的不同研究人员分析了所有这些因素。本文详细综述了有关收费广场不同参数的各种研究,并从发展中国家的角度提出了研究空白。讨论了评估各种参数的挑战和方法,并提出了未来研究的方向。

The potential of a radio-sterilized host, Spodoptera litura (Fabr.), an established noctuid pest, was ascertained for in vivo transport of the viable entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), Steinernema thermophilum . Radio-sterilization (70 Gy) of the host (pest) was done to avoid any pest population build-up from the host larvae that could inadvertently miss EPN infection. The infective juveniles (IJs) derived from a radio-sterilized host took 67.3 h to induce host mortality, 132 h for incubation, and showed 87.8% parasitization with 98.9 IJs harvesting per mg host body wt, indicating almost similar parasitizing behaviour of these IJs as control. The findings indicated the suitability of the radio-sterilized host, S. litura , for carrying the IJs ( in vivo ) in a safe mode, that could retain a substantial degree of infectivity to be utilized in the field for managing this serious noctuid pest using biocontrol measures.
研究人员确定了一种已确定的夜间害虫——斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera litura, Fabr.)——经无线电消毒后的寄主在体内运输可存活的昆虫病原线虫(EPNs)——嗜热斯坦氏线虫(Steinernema thermoophilum)的潜力。对宿主(害虫)进行放射性灭菌(70 Gy),以避免宿主幼虫可能无意中错过EPN感染的任何害虫种群积累。寄主经放射性灭菌后的侵染幼虫(IJs)在67.3 h诱导寄主死亡,132 h孵育,87.8%的寄主被寄生,每mg寄主体重量收获98.9只IJs,表明这些IJs的寄生行为与对照几乎相似。研究结果表明,经放射性消毒的斜纹夜蛾寄主适合以安全的方式携带IJs(体内),可以保留相当程度的传染性,以便在野外利用生物防治措施管理这一严重的夜间害虫。

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important cytokine that plays a vital role in immune response and inflamma-tion. Here, the signalling functions of IL-6 through its receptors, physiological and pathological roles, espe-cially its contribution to various autoimmune diseases, cancers and severe COVID-19/SARS-CoV2 infections are described. It is reported that in severe COVID-19 infection and auto-immune diseases, the patients expe-rience cytokine storms due to hyper-activation of the IL-6 receptor pathway leading to detrimental effects. Blocking IL-6 receptor action by therapeutic antibodies has been considered an attractive strategy of treat-ment. The latest findings on the application of anti-IL-6 therapeutic antibodies in COVID-19 patients are also discussed. © 2022,Current Science. All Rights Reserved.
白细胞介素-6 (IL-6)是一种重要的细胞因子,在免疫反应和炎症中起着至关重要的作用。本文描述了IL-6通过受体的信号功能、生理和病理作用,特别是其在各种自身免疫性疾病、癌症和严重的COVID-19/SARS-CoV2感染中的作用。据报道,在严重的COVID-19感染和自身免疫性疾病中,由于IL-6受体途径的过度激活,患者会经历细胞因子风暴,从而产生不利影响。通过治疗性抗体阻断IL-6受体的作用被认为是一种有吸引力的治疗策略。并讨论了抗il -6治疗性抗体在COVID-19患者中的应用的最新发现。©2022,Current Science。版权所有。

Blocking IL-6 receptor action by therapeutic antibodies has been considered an attractive strategy of treat-ment. The latest findings on the application of anti-IL-6 therapeutic antibodies in COVID-19 patients are also discussed. © 2022,Current Science.

The archaeology of historical India has usually been perceived through the lens of cities and states, leaving forest tracts to a large extent unexamined. This article considers the historical signature in a segment of the Bandhavgarh National Park and Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India, in order to understand how histories of occupation in jungles and wilderness where no settlements presently exist can be studied. Our survey involved a combination of ground-level investigations using GPS devices along with an analysis of satellite images to explore whether such images can be used for locating structures and sites. The earliest archaeological markers in Bandhavgarh are cave shelters of the 2nd century CE , which form the subject of this article.
历史上的印度考古学通常是通过城市和邦的视角来看待的,在很大程度上留下了未经研究的森林地带。本文考虑了印度中央邦Bandhavgarh国家公园和老虎保护区的历史特征,以了解如何研究目前没有定居点的丛林和荒野的占领历史。我们的调查包括使用GPS设备进行地面调查,同时对卫星图像进行分析,以探索这些图像是否可用于定位建筑物和地点。班德哈夫加尔最早的考古标志是公元2世纪的洞穴避难所,这也是本文的主题。

Economic gain apropos socio-ecological pain: expansion of plantation crops in biocultural jhumscape of North East India 经济收益与社会生态痛苦相适应:印度东北部生物栽培景观中种植作物的扩张

North East India is a biodiversity-rich zone and a part of both the Himalaya and Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspots. It is a large-scale multipurpose landscape consisting of a mosaic of crops, livestock and forest. The landscape also ensures almost all the ecosystem services that con-tribute to the well-being of more than 100 diverse ethnic groups (indigenous people) in the region. However, in recent years, rapid transition in the form of promotion and expansion of oil palm and rubber plantations as mooted and supported by the state has posed threats to the ecosystem and biodiversity especially the biocultural landscapes. Supported by empirical evidence (primary and secondary data), this study argues that as we increase the intensity of production or harvest of such crops, the environmental cost becomes unprecedented and immense to be offset by economic gain. The use of renewable biological resources as the foundation for a bioeconomy must be regulated in terms of environmental impact ra-ther than short-term financial dividends. Therefore, we need to develop optimization models for the biocultural landscape(s) that determine land use based on what is both economically and environmentally optimal.
印度东北部是一个生物多样性丰富的地区,也是喜马拉雅和印缅生物多样性热点地区的一部分。这是一个由农作物、牲畜和森林组成的大型多用途景观。景观还确保了几乎所有的生态系统服务,这些服务有助于该地区100多个不同民族(土著人民)的福祉。然而,近年来,在国家的推动和支持下,油棕和橡胶种植园的推广和扩张形式迅速转变,对生态系统和生物多样性,特别是生物文化景观构成了威胁。在经验证据(主要和次要数据)的支持下,本研究认为,随着我们提高这类作物的生产强度或收成,环境成本变得前所未有,而且巨大,无法被经济收益所抵消。作为生物经济基础的可再生生物资源的使用必须根据环境影响而不是短期财政红利加以管制。因此,我们需要开发生物文化景观的优化模型,在经济和环境最优的基础上确定土地利用。
