A personalised information support system for searching portals and e‐resources

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a personalised information support system to help faculty members to search various portals and e‐resources without typing the search terms in different interfaces and to obtain results re‐ordered without human intervention.Design/methodology/approach – After a careful survey of various tools and techniques available for computerised client‐centred information services, the study selected to apply web usage mining, proxy level data collection and a vector space retrieval model to develop the personalised information support for teaching and research in a higher education institution.Findings – There are practical constraints in the implementation stage. There is considerable difficulty in getting real and correct user interests and mapping them effectively into the products and services offered by the library. Also the interests of users change continuously. If multiple users share the same PC, it is difficult to identify the user as th...

biotechnology approaches for quality improvement of vegetables

The integration of emerging biotechnologies with conventional breeding will greatly facilitate the modification of quality or “value-added ”attributes of vegetables, (i.e. appearance, organoleptic, nutrition, physiological benefit and safety). Numerous studies have been conducted on the production of vegetables, focusing on these areas of nutrition. Vegetables are a part of horticulture environment as the fertilizer needs environment on high intensity and they are genetically modified as organisms into the DNA methods of plants. Agricultural biotechnology is a range of tools, including traditional breeding techniques that changes organisms to make products. In recent years, most researchers have improved in production of management and technology of vegetable productions. However, there was a significant amount of slowing growth production because of the weather and disease problems. Increasing production of fruits and vegetables is a result of modern biotechnology that includes genetic engineering tools.

Major in sect-pests analysis in tomato

Field experiments was conducted on Tomato with a variety of Pusa Ruby during Rabi 2015–16 and 2016–17 at HRC of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut. The experiment aimed to evaluating the major insect-pest of tomato in Meerut during Rabi, effect of biotic and biotic factors on population of tomato fruit borer, The experiment was laid out in the randomized block design (RBD) with 10 treatments and 3 replications. Compilation of the information on insect succession and field incidence revealed that about 6 species of insects were observed to be associated with various stages of the tomato crop (after transplanting) at Meerut. Jassid (Amrasca devastans (Butler) Hemiptera, Cicadellidae), aphid (Aphis gossypii (Glover), Hemiptera, Agromyzidae), leaf miner (Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), Diptera, Aphididae), whitefly (Bemisia tabaci (Genn.), Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae,) fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera (Hub.), Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) and lady bird beetle (Coccinella septempunctata L., Coleoptera, Coccinellidae). Which constituted 3 species of order Hemiptera, 1 each of Diptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, respectively. Jassid was present on the crop during the entire cropping season and remained available upto the crop maturity stage. Aphid was present on the crop almost during the entire cropping season and remained available upto crop maturity stage. Leaf miner was present on the crop during the entire cropping season and remained available upto the crop maturity stage. Whitefly was present on the crop during the fruiting stage and remained available upto crop maturity stage. Lady bird beetle predator was present on the crop from the reproductive stage and remained available upto the second week of February.

Genetic Variability For Some Quantitative Traits in Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus (L.) Moench)

An experiment was conducted with 20 diverse genotypes of Okra to as certain genetic variability. Heritability, Genetic advance, genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation for ten characters were studied. Significant differences among genotypes were observed for all the character under study, In general. Phenotypic coefficients of variation were higher than their respective genotypic corfficeient of variation for all the character, the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation were observed for higher for width of fruit followed by number of fruits per plant, Length of internode, number of branches per plant, yield per plant, length of fruits, length of first fruiting node, number of node per plant and plant height. High heritability (broad sense) along with high genetic advance was found for all the character under study. The high corfficient of variation provides ample scope for selection of desirable type of genotypes whereas; high heritability coupled with high genetic advance suggesting preponderance of additive gene action and indicating that selection will be more effective.
