In India, palmgur industry dates back about 4000 year and it was practiced as an essential village industry. This industry occupies a premier place in the list of cottage industries of our country.According to the khadi and village industries commission the additional utilization of even 14% of palmyrah wealth of india will provide employment to about 2 lakh persons. The palmyrah industry is earning valuable forigen exchange also.
It is observed that the palmyrah is growing mainly in the state of Tamil Nadu , Andhra Pradesh , Bihar and Karnataka. The information available with the palmgur adviser to the khadi and village industries commission reveals that over 5.09 crores of palmyrah trees exist in Tamil Nadu.
Palmyrah trees exist in all the districts except the niligiris district. By understanding the significance and importance of palmyrah in Tamil Nadu. The state government aptly declared it as the state tree.
Tamil Nadu , has the highest share of production of palm products in the country. The products of the industry are Neera , palmgur , palmcandy , palm fruits , sugar , palmcola , palm fiber , palm leaf and palmyrah timber.
Palm jaggery is made from the extract of palmyra trees called Neera. Palmyra tree is a monocot plant belonging to the family palm palmaceae , its scientific name is Borassus flabellifer. In india , it is found abundantly in the state of Tamil Nadu and its distribution extents in the states of Karnataka , kerela , Goa , Maharashtra , and Gujarat .
The palm gur industry mainly belongs to traditional artisians who know the art of climbing tall trees. This is a seasonal industry and it can be started with meager financial investment. Nearly 1.7 milion persons involved in the palmgur production and the total production is nearly 1.28 million tones.
Keeping in view the nature and historical background of the Palm Gur Industry where poor tapper artisans and women from weaker sections below poverty line are mostly engaged, this Industry needs to be treated at par with Khadi Programmes for which necessary policy support may be given for its survival/development. On the line of the State Government of Tamil Nadu where the palm is treated as a ‘State Tree’, policy support also needs to be given in other concerned States where plenty of palms are available.
In consideration of the progress of technical developments in various spheres of this Industry and the existence of yet untap-ped vast potential for further development of this Industry on a wider scale with implications in producing Wealth from Waste and offering employment to a large number of persons mostly dispersed in rural tracts all over country, this traditional knowledge based industry deserves to be propagated, promoted and encouraged .

Nutrient cycling in soil is mainly through inputs from aboveground and belowground biomass. Belowground litter resulting from the mortality of fine roots (≤ 2 mm in diameter), contributes to a significant degree of nutrient and carbon transfer from the atmosphere to the soil. Moreover, the belowground C pool, where C is stored as soil organic matter, accounts for 60-70 % of the total forest ecosystem C, exceeding the aboveground C pool in forest ecosystems. Since root production has been suggested to contribute about half of the carbon being cycled annually in many forests and 33% of the global annual net primary production, obtaining accurate estimates of belowground biomass are important. Therefore, there is a need to better understand some of the aspects of root development and life cycle that might influence below-ground carbon stock turnover.
Roots can respond to both internal and external controls (e.g. temperature, soil resources, and water availability). Root lifespan has important implications on plant growth, competition and belowground carbon dynamics and nutrient cycling. No single technique has been accepted universally as the best for studying fine roots. Controversy exists on the best methods to use (direct or indirect approaches) for estimating the biomass and production of fine roots at an ecosystem level in forests. However, till the development of a totally independent method to determine actual root biomass certain indirect methods need to be used with caution. Fine root production (FRP) is influenced by various biophysical factors such as CO2 concentration, soil depth, stand management, species composition, stand age, season, soil nutrients, soil pH, tree basal area etc. For instance, it is reported that CO2 enrichment has increased plant demand for nutrient acquisition and consequent high FRP in many forest ecosystems. Roots also proliferate in water zones, and greater root production at depth may also occur in response to increased tree water use under elevated (CO2). Fine root production is highly influenced by soil depth. For instance, FRP in surface soil was 4.5 times higher as compared with subsurface layer. Fine root production is also influenced by forest disturbances. Studies revealed that mild to moderate disturbances of tropical moist forests had a significant negative effect on total fine root biomass and carbon fluxes associated with root production. Fine root biomass and fine root production were strongly correlated with canopy cover and basal area of the stands, whereas soil physical or chemical conditions were of secondary importance. As of now, information on the fine root production and its dynamics is very much limited for most of tropical woody ecosystems and there is genuine need to undertake research in this line.

Measuring Individual Tree Height and Crown Diameter for Mangrove Trees with A...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Mangroves are unique ecosystems that provide valuable coastal area habitats, protection, and services. Access to observing mangrove forests is typically difficult on the ground. Therefore, it is of interest to develop and evaluate remote sensing methods that enable us to obtain accurate information on the structure of mangrove forests and to monitor their condition in time. The main objective of this study was to develop a methodology for processing airborne lidar data for measuring height and crown diameter for mangrove forests in the north-eastern coastal areas of Brazil. Specific objectives were to: (1) evaluate the most appropriate lidar data processing approach, such as area-based or individual tree methods, (2) investigate the most appropriate parameters for lidar-derived data products when estimating height and crown diameter, such as the spatial resolution of canopy height models and ground elevation models; and (3) compare the accuracy of lidar estimates to field measurements of height and crown diameter. The lidar dataset was acquired over mangrove forest of the northeast of Brazil. The crown diameter was calculated as the average of two values measured along two perpendicular directions from the location of each tree top by fitting a fourth-degree polynomial on both profiles. The lidar-derived tree measurements were used with regression models and cross-validation to estimate plot level field-measured crown diameter. Root mean square error, linear regression and the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient were also used to compare lidar height and field height. The mean of lidar-estimated tree height was 9,48m and the mean of field tree height was 8.44m. The correlation between lidar tree height and field tree height was r= 0.60, E=-0.06 and RMSE= 2.8. The correlation between height and crown diameter needed to parameterized the individual tree identification software obtained for 32 trees was r= 0.83 and determination coefficient was r2 = 0.69. The results of the current study show that lidar data could be used to estimate height and average crown diameter of mangrove trees and to improve estimates of other mangrove forest biophysical parameters of interest by focusing at the individual tree level. The research presented in this study contributes to the overall knowledge of using lidar remote sensing to measure and monitor mangrove forests.

Evaluation of systematic random sampling method for quantitative estimation o...INNS PUBNET
Knowledge and recognition of existence or absence and real type and amount of rare and thick trees in natural stands for studying silviculture, forest management, biodiversity, etc. can be useful. Recognition of number of
trees distribution in different diametric classes is necessary not only in the study of progress circumstance of forest stand but also in composing database for value tables and growing stock. Study the importance of number
of trees distribution in different classes cannot be ignored in judgment quality of performed cultural operations, method selection and cultural operations appropriate to forest stands in the future. In order to evaluate SRS method for quantitative estimation of rare and thick trees, three compartments (312,313,319) of Gorazbon district in Kheyroud -Kenar, Naushahr forest were selected. SRS was employed for estimation of number & basal area per hectare in rare and thick species but full callipering methods for accurate measurement of the abovementioned attributes. Results of this study showed that SRS method has underestimated some species such as Wild cherry (Cerasus avium), Mountain elm (Ulmus glabra Hudson), Cappadocian maple (Acer cappadocicum Gled), Large-leaved lime tree (Tilia platyphyllos Scop.) and Velvet maple (Acer velutinum) and overestimated others such as Chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia C.A.M.), Black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn), and Common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) spices. SRS method did not have an accurate estimation for number of trees distribution per hectare in diametric classes more than 100 for Chestnut-leaved oak, Common hornbeam and Velvet maple spices.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

ongoing process of root 'turnover'.
Coarse roots:
• secondary thickening and woody structure.
• some ability to absorb water and nutrients,
but their main function is transport and to
provide a structure to connect the smaller
diameter.
• Fine roots (62 mm in diameter) contribute
less than coarse roots to total root biomass.

This synthesis com- pares existing methods for root
biomass and production estimation based on relevant
criteria that include cost, labour requirements, time
efficiency and accuracy and, also compares fine- and
coarse-root biomass and production estimates from
different methods measured at the same sites.
Root excavation and soil-pit methods are commonly
used to estimate coarse-root biomass, despite the high
cost and labour required.
Ground-Penetrating Radar is a very promising indirect
approach to estimate coarse-root bio- mass, but may
not be suitable for ecosystems with dense understory
and soils with high organic matter and ion contents.

Fine-root production is usually estimated with the (mini)
rhizotrons, sequential-coring and ingrowth-core
methods
Coarse-root biomass estimates were not significantly
different between soil-pit and soil-core methods. There
was a significant positive correlation (r2 = 0.91, p <
0.0001) between fine-root biomass estimates obtained
from soil-pit and soil-core methods. Fine-root
production estimates were lower in the ingrowth-core

Based on the reviewed literature and comparative
analysis we propose that (mini) rhizotrons should be
preferred over the others in estimating fine-root
production.

In situations where cost and site conditions preclude
their use, the sequential-coring and ingrowth-core

The ingrowth-core should be used with caution in sites
where root growth is slow and root biomass may be
influenced by strong seasonal fluctuation
