Title: Strain estimation from the fabrics of deformed rocks

Subject: Current Science
Keywords: Homogeneous deformation, monomineralic and polymineralic rocks, sinusoidal curve, strain ratio
Abstract: The paper presents a simplified method of estimating strain from the fabrics of weakly deformed rocks, where it is difficult to measure the longer and shorter dimensions of deformed objects. In this method, the plot of the average normalized length of deformed objects against the orientation of lines of constant lenght, at different angular spacing exhibits a sinusoidal curve. The ratio of maximum to minimum length of curve provides strain ratio. Further, the orientation of the maximum and minimum provides the orientation of principal strain axes. The method requires only a few measurements at different angular spacings, resulting into quick estimate of strain.

Keywords: Ants, diversity, ecological restoration, recolonization, Western Ghats
Abstract: A reconnaissance survey was undertaken to assess the responses of ground insect communities to habitat restoration efforts in the Attappady hills, Western Ghats. Diversity patterns of various ground insect assemblages such as ants, beetles, etc. were compared across an age trajectory of restored sites. The diversity of these assemblages was correlated with age trajectory of sites. Also, patterns of recolonization by different insect trophic guilds and ant functional groups were comparable with earlier studies from different biogeographic areas.

Title: Increasing prolificacy and ewe efficiency in sheep through FecB gene introgression

Keywords: FecB gene, Garole X Malpura, PCR-RFLP test, prolificacy, sheep
Abstract: The FecB gene of Garole (G) was introgressed into non-prolific Malpura (M) sheep and the performance of the GM half-breds is being monitored. DNA samples of Garole, Malpura and Garole X Malpura (GM) crossbreds were screened by PCR-RFLP to determine the presence of FecB mutation. The majority of Garole (96%) and GM crossbred (72%) were carries (BB and B+) for the FecB mutation. The FecBBB abd FecBB+ carrier ewes resulted in 81.19 and 69.31% higher prolificacy respectively, as compared to non-carrier Malpura ewes. The viable benefits accrued by gene infusion are reflected by 45.7% increase in the prolificacy and 35.05% in weaning rate of GM compared to that of Malpura. A single mutated copy of FecB gene produced 0.70 and weaned 0.58 extra lambs in GM sheep. Likewise, the ewe productivity efficiency and ewe efficiency in terms of lambs ' weight produced per kg of ewes ' body weight of FecB carrier GM ewes showed upward trend during the growth phase as compared to non-carriers. The FecB carrier twin lamb bearing ewes weaned 78.38% more lambs compared to non-carrier ewes. The DNA test should be applied in routine as a marker for identifying FecB gene in crosses with Garole sheep.

Keywords: Helioseismology, neutrino fluxes, solar interior, standard solar model
Abstract: The sun being the nearest star, provides us a unique opportunity to study stellar processes in sufficient detail to test theories of stellar structure and evolution. Although the solar interior is not directly accessible to observations, development of helioseismology during the last three decades has enabled us to study the structure and dynamics of solar interior with unprecedented accuracy. Some of these developments are described in this article.
