The age of the marine Nodular Limestone Formation of the Bagh Group is refined at Substage level through ammonoid and inoceramid index taxa. The study is based on the fresh collections from three well-defined successive intervals (Lower Karondia, Upper Karondia and Chirakhan members) of this formation having excellent exposures in different localities of the Narmada Basin, central India. The first record of the widely distributed Turonian ammonoid genera Spathites Kummel and Decker and Collignoniceras Breistroffer from the Nodular Limestone Formation constrained its age exclusively to Turonian. The Early Turonian species Spathites (Jeanrogericeras) aff. revelieranus (Courtiller) and Mytiloides labiatus (Sclotheim) occur in the lower part, while the Middle Turonian marker Collignoniceras cf. carolinum (d’Obrbigny) and Inoceramus hobetsensis (Nagao and Matsumoto) occurs in the upper part of the Karondia Member. The record of the index species Inoceramus teshioensis (Nagao and Matsumoto) in association with Placenticeras mintoi Vredenburg from Chirakhan Member allows a definite Late Turonian age. The present contribution is an attempt to resolve the controversies in the age of the Nodular Limestone Formation and also demarcation of the three divisions (Early, Middle and Late) of the Turonian Stage in the Narmada Basin, central India.  相似文献   

Ecological model analysis of respiratory health risk factors by ambient air pollution in Lucknow,the capital City of Uttar Pradesh,India     

Yadav  Ganesh  Singh  R. B.  Anand  Subhash  Pandey  B. W.  Mohanty  Ashutosh  Dash  Sushree Sangita 《GeoJournal》2021,87(4):469-483

Ambient air pollution, particularly in the urban environment of developing countries, has turned out to be a major health risk factor. We explore the compounded impact of age sensitivity, exposure, poverty, co-morbidity, etc., along with composite air pollution in determining morbidity and health burden of people in Lucknow, India. This cross-sectional study is confined to analyse respiratory health status across different socio-economic and geographic locations using n = 140 in-depth questionnaire method. We used mean daily ambient air pollution data of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, SO_2, and NO₂ for the 2008–2018 period. We used the ecological model framework to assess the risk at different hierarchical levels and compounded severity on a spatial scale. We also used Logistic regression model with log odds and odds ratio to analyze the association of risks outcomes with composite air pollution scores calculated using the principal component analysis method. There is a strong association of location-specific respiratory disease prevalence with an overall 32 percent prevalence. The prevalence of ecological model 1 (individual domain) is 4.3 percent, while ecological model 2 (community domain) has the highest prevalence at 32.4 percent. The logistic regression model shows that respiratory disease load is positively associated with age sensitivity (P < .001) and composite pollution level (P < .001). For another model with suffocation as the outcome variable, composite pollution level (P < .001) and exposure (P < .001) are positively associated. Optimum interventions are required at Ecological models 1, 2, and 3 levels for better respiratory health outcomes.

Toxicity and long term effects of a sublethal concentration of cadmium on the growth of the fingerlings of Ophiocephalus punctatus (BL.)     

J. P. Shukla  K. Pandey 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》1988,16(5):537-540

The LC₅₀ for exposure of 48 and 96 h is 34.64 and 18.5 mg/l Cd²⁺, respectively. During the exposure to 3.5 mg/l Cd²⁺ from the 13th day significant differences of length and mass occur with respect to the control. Over a total of 31 days of experiment the reduction of growth rates is 11% for the longitudinal growth and 16% for the increase in weight.  相似文献   

Comparative study of electron density from incoherent scatter measurements at Arecibo with the IRI-95 model during solar maximum     

N. K. Sethi  V. K. Pandey 《Annales Geophysicae》2001,18(12):1630-1634

Arecibo (18.4 N, 66.7 W) incoherent scatter (IS) observations of electron density N(h) are compared with the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-95) during midday (10/14 h), for summer, winter and equinox, at solar maximum (1981). The N(h) profiles below the F2 peak, are normalized to the peak density NmF2 of the F region and are then compared with the IRI-95 model using both the standard B0 (old option) and the Gulyaeva-B0 thickness (new option). The thickness parameter B0 is obtained from the observed electron density profiles and compared with those obtained from the IRI-95 using both the options. Our studies indicate that during summer and equinox, in general, the values of electron densities at all the heights given by the IRI model (new option), are generally larger than those obtained from IS measurements. However, during winter, the agreement between the IRI and the observed values is reasonably good in the bottom part of the F2 layer but IRI underestimates electron density at F1 layer heights. The IRI profiles obtained with the old option gives much better results than those generated with the new option. Compared to the observations, the IRI profiles are found to be much thicker using Gulyaeva-B0 option than using standard B0.  相似文献   

A curiosity regarding the relation between surface level humidity and precipitable water     

N. Gautam  Sujit Basu  R. M. Gairola  P. C. Pandey 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1992,60(1-2):179-184

We have examined the global relation betwen the mean monthly surface level humidity and the precipitable water (Q-W relation) developed by Liu (1986) for its applicability to instantaneous data sets as proposed by Hsu and Blanchard (1989) over the Indian oceanic region. Our analysis using regional instantaneous values of W from Monex-79 in-situ data sets gave an rms error of 5.66gm/kg. This is considerably larger than the rms error of 0.4 gm/kg as obtained by Liu using the global mean monthly relation, thus failing to support Hsu and Blanchard's conjecture. However, a fifth-order polynomial in W derived by us based on instantaneous data indicates an rms error of 0.92 gm/kg.  相似文献   

3d landscape modelling using java 3d/vrml     

Milap Punia  Durgesh Pandey 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2006,34(4):397-403

Interactive visualization has been an integral part of landscape simulation to facilitate understanding of environmental processes. In most cases, however, interaction with the data is limited to viewing only. Thus to support more 3D interaction, in this study an attempt has been made to apply multi-view approach of the model for orientation, navigation and selection as visual metaphors on the landscape. This paper further describes how JAVA 3D/VRML can be used to model a landscape for better user interaction and exploration. Data used for generation of landscape model is SRTM-3 pertaining to a part of Alwar district in Rajasthan. This study emphasizes the importance of user interaction with 3D landscape for visualizing future design implications, landuse change and visual exploration.  相似文献

Protein Digestibility by Khosti Fish Colisa fasciatus (Pisces,Anabantidae) under the Influence of Certain Factors     

H. S. Pandey  R. P. Singh 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》1980,8(6):583-589

Protein digestibility was determined via two feeding trials in glass aquaria by the indicator (Chromium oxide) method using a mixture of shrimp powder with oil cake and wheat bran respectively (1: 1 W/W) as food. Analyses of feed were made to calculate the crude protein, carbohydrate, lipid and ash contents. Feces were analysed to determine their total nitrogen and chromium oxide. Protein digestibility was studied in relation to salinity of the medium size and weight of the fish body. The apparent digestibility of crude protein of a corresponding die has shown that 1st: Younger fish do possess a lower capability of protein digestion than fish having a medium weight and medium size; 2nd: Older fish with a high weight and large size exhibit no improvement in efficiency to digest the food protein, though their weight and size are significantly greater than those of middle weight and medium size fish; 3rd: The replacement of oil cake by wheat bran decreases the protein digestibility of shrimp powder mixture with them; 4th: A salinity (NaCl) of the aquatic medium at or above 3 g/l depletes the protein digestibility when fish of the same size were experimented with; but a salinity up to 2 g/l does not result in a significant decrease in the protein digestion rate.  相似文献
