IDENTIFICATION OF FRACTURES AND ESTIMATION OF PERMEABILITY FROM FMI LOG OF WEST BOKARO COAL FIELD
Abstract
Results of the studies dissertation work on identification of fractures and estimation of permeability from FMI log of West Bokaro Coal field during 2016-2017 at department of Applied Geophysics, IIT(ISM), Dhanbad. West Bokaro Coal field is one of the major repositories of medium-coking, metallurgical coal in Peninsular Gondwana Basins in India occupies an area of about 180 sq. km. The FMI full bore formation micro imager provides real-time micro resistivity formation images and dip data in water-based mud with 80% borehole coverage in 8-inches boreholes and 0.2-inches image resolution in the vertical and azimuthal directions, imaging with the FMI micro imager is the preferred approach for determining net pay in laminated sediments of fluvial and turbidities depositional environments. The long axes of borehole breakouts are oriented approximately perpendicular to the maximum horizontal compressive stress orientation. In-situ horizontal stress orientation has been obtained from borehole breakouts (BO) and drilling induced tensile fractures (DIF). Coal bed permeability is estimated from fracture density and fracture aperture. Coal bed permeability is varying from 0.06 millidarcy at 443 meter to 14.3 millidarcy at 541 meter because of increasing number of fractures and drilling induced fracture found at the depth range of 621-642.5 meter with maximum azimuth stress within the range of 22-34°N.
Key word: FMI log, borehole fracture, borehole breakout, drilling induced fracture.

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CELLULASE RODUCING BACTERIA FROM TERMITE GUT
Abstract
Lignocelluloses are the most abundant organic compound in the nature. The cellulosic waste can be used as a potential source of Bio-energy. For the conversion of cellulosic waste to a fuel source, the complex structure of cellulose has to be broken and the glucose monomers obtained can be fermented to bio-ethanol the methods present today are chemicals and enzymatic method. Chemicals methods are expensive and their wastes are proving to be a potential hazard to the environment. On the other hand enzymatic processes are comparatively slow; therefore there commercial application is not feasible. The plants and tree have evolved over millions of years to perfect their structural components. They are so evolved that their degradation is difficult and this is attributed due to their cell wall. However several species of fungi and bacteria have developed a method to penetrate into this complex network of Lignin and hemicelluloses and consequently degrade the cellulose. In the present study soil samples from different areas of P.U and wood samples from degraded tree trunk and rotten wood furniture were picked up and were isolated and purified on a media having cellulose as a sole source of carbon. The morphologically different colonies were tested for the cellulytic activity using CMCase test and top 4 strains were selected for further tests.

Screening of Soybean Cultivars against Root Rot and Collar Rot Diseases by Paper Towel Technique
Abstract
Root rot caused by Macrophominaphaseolina and collar rot caused by Sclerotiumrolfsii are the major threat for the successful production of soybean in India. Use of resistant varieties is considered as an economical and durable method of controlling these diseases. Therefore, fifteen cultivars were evaluated by paper towel technique. Study of varietal resistance by paper towel technique revealed that, none of the cultivar was found immune as well as resistant to both the diseases. Two cultivars (JS-93-05, TAMS-98-21)and One (AMS-99-24) was found moderately resistant to root rot and collar rot diseases, respectively. Six cultivars (AMS-99-24, AMS- 92-32, JS-335, NRC-64, TAMS-38, AMS-353) were reported susceptible and seven (AMS-56, NRC-67, AMS-99-16, Bragg, JS-71-05, AMS-47, AMS-99-3) highly susceptible to root rot disease whereas, eight cultivars (NRC-64, Bragg, JS-335, JS-93-05, AMS-99-16, JS-71-05, TAMS-98-21, AMS-353) were reported susceptible and six (AMS-47, AMS-99-3, AMS-56, NRC-67, TAMS-38, AMC-92-32) were highly susceptible to collar rot disease.

SCREENING EFFECTIVE AND PERSISTING ESSENTIAL OILS AGAINST FUNGI DETORIATING PALM LEAF PRODUCTS
Abstract
The potential effect of clove, cinnamon, mustard, peppermint, eucalyptus, citronella, camphor, rose, lemon and lemon grass essential oils against fungi identified from Areca palm leaves and Palmyra palm leaf sheath were investigated. The fungi were identified by 18s rRNA sequencing method. An agar dilution method was employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of essential oils. Zone inhibition tests and the inhibitory effect of the leaf and sheath dip treated and vapour treated with essential oils against those fungi were examined. With an MIC of 0.02 µl ml-1 mustard essential oil had the strongest inhibitory effect. The efficacy of mustard oil vapour on the molds inhibition was relatively higher when compared to the liquid phase. It is also comparatively more potential than chemical fungicides.

Molecular modeling studies of novel serotonin reuptake inhibitors using QSAR
Abstract
QSAR studies were performed on a series of N-[(3S)-Pyrrolidin-3-yl]benzamide derivatives as novel serotonin reuptake inhibitors. N-[(3S)-Pyrrolidin-3-yl]benzamide derivatives have been analyzed in relation to their physicochemical and molecular properties. The activities of the compounds were found to be significantly correlated with the physicochemical parameters such as molar refractivity (Mr), balaban centric index (BAC), molecular weight (MW), wiener index (W), equalized electro-negativity (Xeq). It was found that the presence of group 2-Me, 3-Cl at R2 position was conducive and the presence of group 2-i-Propyl at R2 position was unfavourable for the inhibitory activity. The results are critically discussed on the basis of regression data and cross validation techniques.Poglani factor Q and the results of LOO (leave one out) method confirms the reliability and predictability of the proposed models.

Utilization of unconventional sugarcane trash as feed in Narisuwarna X Kenguri sheep
Abstract
The pilot study on fifteen Narisuwarna X Kenguri sheep with average body weight of 25.88 kg were fed chopped sugarcane trash ad libitum and restricted (250g) concentrate feed mixture separately to assess the dry matter intake (DMI). The mean roughage DMI, roughage DMI per cent body weight and roughage DMI W0.75 observed were 385.12 g, 1.48 per cent, 33.59 g respectively. The mean concentrate DMI, concentrate DMI per cent body weight and concentrate DMI W0.75 recorded were 232.50 g, 0.9 per cent, 20.28g respectively. The mean total DMI, total DMI per cent body weight and total DMI W0.75 recorded were 617.62 g, 2.39 per cent, 53.86 g respectively. whereas, when ground sugarcane trash fed in the form of mixed diet with roughage to concentrate ratio of 50:50., The mean total DMI, total DMI per cent body weight and total DMI W0.75 recorded were 882.17 g, 3.36 per cent and 76.40 g respectively. Higher DMI was observed for mixed diets then feeding roughage and concentrate separately. This is indication to use sugarcane trash as sole roughage source along with concentrate feed mixture supplementation to improve DMI. Further, research requires to improve the nutritive value of sugarcane trash and to assess the digestibility and growth performance of sheep fed unprocessed or processed sugarcane trash.

Trichology: A science of Hair examination in identification of dog breeds
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Presence of hair is a distinguishing character of Class-Mammalia. The microscopic characters, viz. hair colour, hair length, medullary index, pattern of medulla etc are specific for particular species. Thus hair taxonomic studies, called trichology, can be used in taxonomy, wildlife forensic, archaeology, food habitat studies etc. (Kennedy, 1982; Dagnall et al, 1995). Hair analysis not only identifies species, it can also discriminate the animal breeds. The use of trichology in above sited fields provides excellent reliability, low cost and local breed studies. These will enable the demonstration of adaptability, resistance, hardiness and conservation of breeds (Felix et al., 2014). The present study was carried out to study the potential use, application and develop an identification keys for identifying various breeds of dogs from microscopic analysis of hairs. Since animals are involved in any types of crimes (Pilli et al., 2014), and DNA typing from animals enabled homicide investigations and convictions in U.S. and Canada (Halverson, Forensic identification of canine hairs: is heteroplasmy significant?), hair examinations of dog breeds will enable convictions in wildlife crimes where dogs are most commonly used.

Studies on organic and microbial supplements with recommended doses of fertilizer in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2014–15 at the Students Instructional Farm, of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The main objective of this field study was to evaluate the effect of super imposition of organic nutrient sources and microbial supplements over recommended dose of fertilizers on growth, yield attributes, yields and economics wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Six treatments consisting of super imposed doses of compost @10t/ha, Vermicompost @ 5t/ha, Azotobactor and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) for seed treatment as individual and in combination over inorganic fertilizers (control), were laid out in Randomized Block Design, replicated three times. The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam in texture, deficient in nitrogen, medium in phosphorus and potassium. Results showed that the grain yield of wheat was significantly increased by different nutrient sources over control. The highest biological yield (91.03 q/ha), grain yield (40.52 q/ha), straw yield (50.51 q/ha) and harvest index (43.57%) were recorded under RDF + Compost@10t/ha + Azotobactor + PSB treatment established hierarchy over other treatment. The increment evaluated in biological yield (8.71%), grain yield (10.52%), straw yield (7.37%) and harvest index (0.7%) compared to control treatment which recorded minimum value of yield component of wheat crop.

Earthworm cast as a source of trace elements to treat human ailments.
Abstract
Earthworms are not only the intestines of earth (Aristotle; 384-322 B.C.) but their cast serves as an important source of minerals and trace elements. (Ayoola and Olayiwola, 2014).The earthworms were also used in delaying the clotting time (Ang Lopez and Alis; 2006), to lower blood pressure, as a source of proteolytic enzyme (R. Guerrero and L. Guerrero; 2006b) etc. The dried earthworm casts were collected from the campus of Institute of Science, Nagpur (M.S.) randomly and were analysed for the presence of eleven trace elements using AAS and flame photometer. Of the eleven trace elements analysed, iron was found in high concentration (2007.71 mg/Kg) while the concentration of cadmium was lowest (0.11 mg/Kg). When the concentrations of trace elements were compared with the concentration of same trace elements from medicinal plants used to treat various human ailments, the potential of earthworm cast to treat human ailments became evident.
