Quality status of groundwater around industrial area for irrigationIAEME Publication
The document summarizes a study on the quality status of groundwater around an industrial area in Mandya district, Karnataka, India for irrigation purposes. 96 groundwater samples were collected from 16 locations around the Tubinakere industrial area and analyzed. The results showed that some locations had groundwater with high salinity, alkalinity, and sodicity levels that could pose hazards for irrigation. Permanent hardness, salinity, and alkalinity hazards were identified in the groundwater around some agricultural lands near the industrial area based on analyses of parameters like electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, bicarbonate, and chloride concentrations. The dominant ions in the groundwater that could be contributing to specific ion toxicity were

Drought imparts injuries in plant through elevated production of reactive oxygen species viz. (O2•, OH•, H2O2 and 1O2). Potassium (K) triggers numerous ameliorative functions against oxidative damages caused by drought. To investigate K attenuating oxidative damage and promotion of antioxidant defense in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. BARI Wheat-21), an experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Plant Stress Responses, Faculty of Agriculture, Kagawa University, Japan, under controlled environment of green house during June, 2017 to December, 2017.

NANOTECHNOLOGY: APPLICATION IN CROP NUTRTIONHARISH J
Nanotechnology can be applied to crop nutrition through the use of nanofertilizers. Nanofertilizers are fertilizers encapsulated in nanoparticles ranging from 1 to 100 nm in size. Their small size allows for slow and controlled release of nutrients, increasing fertilizer use efficiency and reducing environmental pollution. Research has shown nanofertilizers can increase crop yields, nutrient uptake, and enzyme activity compared to conventional fertilizers. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their effects on plants and minimize environmental risks before they can be widely adopted.
ANALYSIS OF HYDROGEOCHEMICAL AND MINERALOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS RELATED TO HEA...IRJET Journal
This document analyzes the hydrogeochemical and mineralogical characteristics related to heavy metal attenuation in a stream polluted by acid mine drainage from an underground metal mine. Water and sediment samples were collected from affected and unaffected areas. Chemical analysis showed affected water had low pH, high sulfate concentrations, and high heavy metal levels. Heavy metal concentrations decreased downstream as pH increased. Mineralogical analysis identified iron oxide minerals like schwertmannite and goethite precipitating from acid mine drainage. Sequential extraction showed heavy metals were primarily bound to iron oxide phases farther from the mine, but closer to the mine they were more exchangeable and bound to organic matter. The study concludes acid mine drainage chemistry is controlled by iron mineral transformations and precip

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

2. Background
“Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); and has
opened roads (ways and paths) for you therein, and has sent
down water (rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth
with it various kinds of vegetation.”
QS. Thaa-Haa [verse 53]
6. Problem
Center research of Mineral and Coal
Technology (2009) reported that the
electronics factory in the area Cicalengka
generate a cesspool containing a copper
reached 40 tons / month
Poor
irrigation
management
system
Wijayanti (2008) that the Cu metal contained
in water and sediment of the Citarum River
along Dayeuhkolot to Nanjung segments is
the metal with the greatest concentration
compared to the chromium (Cr) and cadmium
(Cd) metals.
8. • The levels of Cu :
- in the Land : 2 - 250 ppm
- Plants tissues in normal growing : 5 - 20 ppm.
• Critical condition :
- In the Land : 60-125 ppm
- In plant tissues: 5-60 ppm.
- In critical condition of plant growth, especially in the mungbean
start hampered as a result of the toxicity of Cu.
9. The Cu toxicity in mungbean plants
- Interrupt the absorption of essential minerals
and cell division,
- Destruct the cell wall tissue,
- Prevent of the growth of roots and shoots,
and lignin polymerization
so the plants grow stunted, limited branching,
the roots getting thicker and darker.

14. • Inside the plant, the element Cu is an essential component
of a number of plant enzymes, such as diamine oxidase,
ascorbate oxidase, o-difenol oxidase, cytochrome-c
oxidase, superoxide dismutase, plastosianin oxidase, and
kuionol oxidase.
- as the activator and bring some enzymes.
- help smooth the process of photosynthesis,
chlorophyll formation and plays a role in reproductive
function.

31. Conclusion - Varieties of mung bean vima 1 are varieties that
are tolerant to Cu toxicity.
- Cu concentrations between 30-90 ppm result in
decreased plant height, number of leaves, average leaf
area, chlorophyll content, number of flowers, number of
pods, total dry weight of plant, and root dry weight on
mung beans plants.
- The plant height of 30-60 HST is the same as the
control is Vima1 with a concentration of Cu 30-90
ppm, the total dry weight plant of the most closely
related was Vima 1 with a concentration of Cu 30
ppm, dry weight of roots the most closely related
to control is the varieties of Kenari with a
concentration of Cu 30 ppm, while the levels of Cu
in the seeds that closed to the control is Vima 2
with concentration of Cu 30 ppm .
