Protected Viticulture for Sustainable Grape Production to Cope with the Adverse Effects of Climate Change
Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) are among the most commonly cultivated horticultural crops on the earth covering an area of 7.5
million hectares with around 70 million tons production. Grapes being highly nutritious are majorly utilized in making beverages or used as fresh and raisin. In today’s world, the most concerned topic in agriculture is continuous change in climatic
conditions leading to several negative social, ecological, economical and biological problems. Grapes are delicate fruits, their
vines are sensitive towards extremes in temperature, water, heat, duration and intensity of light exposure as well as carbon
dioxide and humidity alterations. Hence, one can shift to drought and heat tolerant varieties and certain training and pruning methods suitable to the prevailing environmental conditions. Vineyard management practices, including farm mechanization can be amended for improving the gains, while reducing the input

Accidental Ammonia Gas Leakage in a Cold Storage : A Case Report
: Ammonia is corrosive and exposure will result in a chemical-type burn. It is highly hygroscopic and readily
transforms the moist areas of the body such as eyes, nose, throat, and moist skin areas. It is a highly toxic irritant gas, and its
toxicity usually occurs from occupational exposure, most are unintentional toxicity. It causes tissue damage via exothermic
reaction with body tissues causing liquefactive necrosis. Release of ammonia has potentially for harmful effects on workers
and the public. Although there have been incidents of exposure to harmful concentrations of ammonia in the world there
have been few fatal accidents.Presentation depends on the level and duration of exposure. Management is supportive and its
antidote is not available yet
Explorations of the Combined Effects of Surface Energy, Initial Stress and Nonlocality on the Dynamic Behaviour of Carbon Nanotubes Conveying Fluid Resting on Elastic Foundations in a Thermo-Magnetic Environment
The vibrations of carbon nanotubes under the influences of various internal and external forces have been subjects of interests

Electronic-nose Applications in Forensic Science and for Analysis of Volatile Biomarkers in the Human Breath
The application of electronic-nose (E-nose) technologies in forensic science is a recent new development following a long history of progress in the development of diverse applications in the related biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Data from forensic analyses must satisfy the needs and requirements of both the scientific and legal communities. The type of data collected from electronic-nose devices provides a means of identifying specific types of information about the chemical nature of evidentiary objects and samples under investigation using aroma signature profiles of complex gaseous mixtures containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from manufactured products and parts of the human body. E-nose analyses also provide useful qualitative information about the physicochemical characteristics and metabolic conditions of human subjects without the need for time-consuming analyses to identify all chemical components in human-derived volatile mixtures.
