The inclusion of Dalits in the Brahminical discourses adopted the strategy of “reformist – liberalism”. Having entered into it, Dalit literature has not merged into it, but has changed it. Through Dalit literature, the Dalit subaltern has now appeared in literature as a speaking subject but this subaltern’s speech is not interpellated by the dominant group’s voice, language, tone, style or tradition. Limbale moves on to compare Dalit literature with that of Black and feminist literatures. Implicit in every work of literature is a serious critique of the society within which it takes birth.

This paper investigated institutional factors influencing vegetable production in six small-scale vegetable projects in Alice town in the Nkonkobe Municipality of Eastern Cape of South Africa. Amidst worsening poverty in the wider society it was the intention to know how vegetable production can contribute to enhancing food security and if it is in a position to do so. Seeking some insights on effectiveness of the agrarian reforms on smallholder farmers in South Africa, the objectives of this study were to identify and explore institutional factors that influence vegetable production.

A study was undertaken by utilizing different levels of Paneer Whey(i.e. 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) for manufacturing of good quality Carrot Halwa. Grated carrot and a mixture of Ghee, Sugar, cardamom, and cashewnut were used as other ingredients. The quality of Halwa was highly influenced by Carrot and their concentration in whey. Whey greatly improved the shelf life of Carrot Halwa. The product was analyzed for organoleptic attributes (colour and appearance, body and texture, flavour and taste) by trained panelist using 9 point hedonic scale.

An investigation was carried out with an attempt to develop Peanut Paneer by partial addition of Peanut milk and skim milk. For control, (T0) Peanut milk was standardized to 6% fat and 9% SNF and treatment (T1) was standardized to a ratio of 50:50 (PM:SM),T2 60:40 (PM:SM) and T3 (70:30) (PM:SM).

The research aimed at obtaining a detail idea about the various end uses of energy consumption activities and identifying, and evaluating the possible energy saving opportunities. Longitudinal design method was employed starting from October of 2013 to June of 2015. The findings of the research indicated the presence of various types of energy wasting electrical equipment and poor awareness of energy saving mechanism among staff and students of the university. Among the interviewed students 132(66%) of them are not turn off the light when they go to bed.

Initial production and use of tobacco in manufacture of cigarettes and other tobacco products for the needs of smokers has moved from rejection to privilegization, to eventually end as mass production worldwide. Cigarettesmoking is accepted by all social classes, both by men and women, and does not recognize any religious limitations.Smoking starts at very young ages. Some twenty years ago the age of smokers was 16, and now, despite the powerful anti-smoking propaganda, it fell to 14, and even 12 year-old smokers.

Character association and path coefficient analysis were carried out in a set of sesame genotypes collected from different states of India. Capsules/plant followed by plant height, days to cessation of flowering, period of flowering, capsule length, height to first capsule and seeds/capsule revealed significant positive correlation with seed yield. In contrast, seed weight had negative relationship with seed yield. Oil content seems to be increased with duration of flowering period owing to their inter se significant positive relationship.

The mycoflora from the bed of river Krishna at Sangli was studied at three different locations viz., Right Bank, Center and Left Bank from January 2014 to December 2015. Twenty six soil samples were collected from surface, 10, 15, and 25 cm depth. The mycoflora were isolated by using soil dilution and soil plate method. Out of the 75 strains of fungi isolated 10 species of Penicillium viz., Penicillium funiculosum (32.66) and P. semitectum (03.88%), P. expensum (2.33%), P. chrysogenum (16.33%), P. Lilacinum (09.63%), P.notatum (15.66%), P. roseum (1.62%), P. tardum (23.67%), P.

The aim of this study is to analyzed the three nervi; terminalis, vomeronasalis and olfactorius emerging from the olfactory apparatus. The lizard Chacidessepoides was collected from Sinai and was undergone to permanent histological preparation. Through the examination of the olfactory apparatus of this species resulted in the vomeronasal organ is innervated by two correlating nerves: terminal and vomeronasal nerves that originating from its sensory epithelium. The terminal nerve bears the ganglion terminale. The olfactory nerve innervates the olfactory chamber.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the one of major cause of deaths globally (WHO, 2011). Cardiovascular Disease is a general term describing disease of the Heart and Blood vessels. Cardiovascular Disease is a class of diseases that involve the Heart and Blood vessels (WHO 2011). Cardiovascular Disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke.
