Item A Biometrical Study On Bred Specifications At Birth In Chokla Sheep(College of Veterinary and Agricultural Science, Bikner, 1969) Gambhir Singh SikarwarA Biometrical Study On Bred Specifications At Birth In Chokla SheepItem A Brief Review on Recent Processes for the Treatment of Olive Mill Effluents(IntechOpen, 2023) Javier Miguel Ochando-PulidoDuring the last few decades, olive oil industrial sector has grown as a result of the modernization of olive oil mills, in response to the increasing demand of olive oil worldwide. As an undesired side effect, the amount of olive mill effluents (OME) increased, especially as a result of changing old batch press method for the continuous centrifugation-based olive oil production processes currently used, which ensure higher productivity. This chapter presents the state of the art of OME management, with focus on biological and advanced oxidation processes, either alone or in combination, varying in complexity, ease of operation and costs associated. Up to this moment, there isn’t a management strategy that can be adopted in a global scale, feasible in different socio-economic contexts and production scales. The most reasonable approach is to regard OME valorisation as a regional problem, defining decentralized treatment that in some cases can be implemented for a group of olive oil mills in the same geographic area. This aspect is receiving strong attention as European Commission is promoting the transition towards a circular economy, which aims at “closing the production loop” by recycling and reusing resources, bringing benefits for the environment, society and the economy.Item A Calibration-Free Evapotranspiration Mapping (CREMAP) Technique(IntechOpen, 2023) Jozsef SzilagyiA Calibration-Free Evapotranspiration Mapping (CREMAP) TechniqueItem A Common-Pool Resource Approach To Forest Health(IntechOpen, 2023) John SchelhasA Common-Pool Resource Approach to Forest Health: The Case of the Southern Pine BeetleItem A comparative study on antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of some meat additives(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2011) Vinod KumarA comparative study on antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of some meat additivesItem A comparative study on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of turmeric powder, curry leaf powder and tocopherol on chicken nugget under refrigeration storage (4±1°c)(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2013) Joydeep PaulA comparative study on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of turmeric powder, curry leaf powder and tocopherol on chicken nugget under refrigeration storage (4±1°c)Item A comparative study on chicken and duck sausage(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2002) Debashis BhattacharyyaA comparative study on chicken and duck sausageItem A comparative study on different surface decontaminants on chicken quality(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2002) Mita SinhamahapatraA comparative study on different surface decontaminants on chicken qualityItem A comparative study on integrated farming and non-integrated farming in terms of production income and employment in the state of Manipur(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2011) Kimueikhol KipgenA comparative study on integrated farming and non-integrated farming in terms of production income and employment in the state of ManipurItem A comparative study on performance of pig breeds in terms of meat quality and productivity(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2007) Anupam KhanA comparative study on performance of pig breeds in terms of meat quality and productivityItem A comparative study on the growth of stunted and normal fingerlings of selected major carps cultured in artificial ponds under second level management(Bharathidasan University, 2007) Pushpa SComparative, Stunted, Fingerlings, CarpsItem A comparative study on the productive and haematological aspects of soviet chinchilla and grey giant rabbits under hot humid condition of West Bengal(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 2000) Chandan Kumar DasA comparative study on the productive and haematological aspects of soviet chinchilla and grey giant rabbits under hot humid condition of West BengalItem A Comparison of Genetic Variation in Two Endemic Thermal Spring Isopods, Thermosphaeroma thermophilum and T. milleri (Crustacea - Isopoda: Sphaeromatidae)(*, 2023) Stephen ShusterPopulations with reduced gene flow and restricted population size are expected to show reduced genetic variation. Using starch gel electrophoresis, we examined allozyme variation at 12 loci in two species of freshwater, sphaeromatid isopods. Thermosphaeroma thermophilum, an endangered species, inhabits a single thermal spring in central New Mexico, USA; and T. milleri, inhabits a more complex thermal spring system in northern Chihuahua, M?©xico. We found no significant differences in allelic variation between the sexes within each species. Between species, electromorphs at each locus differed significantly in both number and moiety on the gel, with T. milleri showing greater polymorphism and greater heterozygosity than T.¬†thermophilum. Nei's unbiased genetic distance, calculated using the nine loci common to both populations (D¬†=¬†0.75), was consistent with morphological classification of T. thermophilum and T. milleri as separate species, as well as with molecular analyses suggesting that these populations have been separated since the late Cretaceous (88¬†myr). Moreover, consistent with the theoretical expectation that small, isolated populations will exhibit reduced genetic variation, T. thermophilum, an endangered species, exhibited significantly less genetic variation than the more numerous and less confined T. milleri. We compare our results with other recent studies using this approach to understand the population genetics of natural populations.Item A comparitive study on management of the black Bengal goat under free range and supplementary feeding system(West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, 1999) Soma MukherjeeA comparitive study on management of the black Bengal goat under free range and supplementary feeding systemItem A Comprehensive Overview of the Potential of Tequila Industry By-Products for Biohydrogen and Biomethane Production(*, 2023) Elizabeth Leon-BecerrilNowadays, the use of agro-industrial by-products as alternative sustainable resources to generate bioenergy and high-value bioproducts is one of the most important research topics to tackle environmental concerns related to the excessive consumption of fossil-based fuels and rapid urbanization and industrialization. This chapter provides a broad overview of the potential of the main tequila industry by-products, agave bagasse and tequila vinasse, for biohydrogen (bioH2) and biomethane (bioCH4) production via dark fermentation and anaerobic digestion, respectively. First, pretreatment or conditioning steps commonly applied to tequila by-product streams before downstream biological processes are highlighted. The operational performance of bioH2- and bioCH4-producing reactors is subsequently reviewed, with a focus on reactor configuration and performance, microbial metabolic pathways, and the characterization of microbial communities. Additionally, the development of multi-stage anaerobic digestion processes is comprehensively discussed from a practical point of view. Finally, limitations and potential improvements in the field of bioH2 and bioCH4 production are presented.Item A Comprehensive Review of 4(1H)-Quinolones and 4(1H)-Pyridones for the Development of an Effective Antimalarial(*, 2023) Roman ManetschMalaria is a global public health issue. Despite the efforts in malaria prevention, nearly half the world's population is at risk of infection. Until present-day, researchers are struggling to design and discover an efficacious antimalarial. In comparison to most common antimalarial chemotypes that eliminate erythrocytic stages of P. falciparum, 4(1H)-quinolones and 4(1H)-pyridones exhibit antimalarial activity against multiple stages of the parasite. They have potential to treat blood stages of multidrug resistant P. falciparum malaria, eradicate dormant exoerythro stages of relapsing malaria species (P. vivax), and prevent transmission of infectious gametocytes to mosquitoes. However, thus far, the advancement of these chemotypes towards pre-clinical and clinical development has been impeded due to poor physicochemical properties, poor oral bioavailability, and poor dose-proportionality limiting preclinical safety and toxicity studies. Despite all these challenges, 4(1H)-quinolones and 4(1H)-pyridones continue to be at the forefront for the development of the next-generation antimalarials as they would have tremendous global public health impact and could significantly enhance current malaria elimination efforts.Item A comprehensive study of three contrasting lentic systems in the context of aquaculture(Bharathidasan University, 1994) Jayanthi MAquaculture, Alkalinity, Zooplankton, Electrical ConductivityItem A critical evaluation of the performance and policy of regional rural bank(University of Mumbai, 2006) Maoranjan DasCritical Evaluation, Performance, Changing Scenario, Rural Credit, Business OperationsItem A critical study of brackish water shrimp farming project in Palghar Taluka(University of Mumbai, 2009) Patil Jaywant KashinathBrackish Water, Shrimp Farming Project, Globalization, Geographical Composition, Economic ManagementItem A critical study of the implementation of the tribal development programmes in Dahanu Taluka District Thane(University of Mumbai, 2003) Ravindra Bhagoji GhasgasTribal Development, Tribal Communities, Socio-Economic Background, Welfare State, Problems
