Is the decline of human anatomy hazardous to medical education/profession?--A review.

Abstract: Purpose The continuous decrease in teaching time, the artificially created scarcity of competent anatomical faculties and a reduced allocation of resources have brought about the decline of anatomy in medical education. As a result of this, anatomical knowledge and the standard of medical education have fallen with consequences including safety in clinical practice. The aim of the present study is to analyze this declining phase of anatomy and its impact on medical education and to consider corrective measures.

Assessment of Water Yield and Evapotranspiration over 1985 to 2010 in the Gomti River Basin in India Using the SWAT Model

Abstract: Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to assess the water yield and evapotranspiration for the Gomti River basin, India for over a period of 25 years (1985-2010). Streamflow calibration and validation of results showed satisfactory performance (NSE: 0.68-0.51; RSR: 0.56-0.68; |PBIAS|: 2.5-24.3) of the model. The water yield was higher in the midstream sub-basins compared to upstream and downstream sub-basins whereas evapotranspiration per unit area decreased from upstream to the downstream. Both evapotranspiration and water yield at upstream and midstream sub-basins increased from 1985 to 2010, whereas water yield at downstream decreased from 1985 to 2010. We found that the spatial and temporal patterns of evapotranspiration and water yield were closely linked to climatic conditions and irrigation in the basin. The long-term trends in water yield point to a drying tendency of downstream sub-basin covering the districts of Jaunpur and Varanasi.

Influence of date of sowing and irrigation regimes on crop growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and its relationship with temperature in semi-arid region.

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2010–11 and 2011–12 on sandy-loam soil at New Delhi, to study the effect of sowing dates and irrigation regimes on growth parameters, yield attributes, yield and water-use efficiency (WUE) of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Fiori & Paol.], and influence of prevailing temperature on grain yield. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with 3 replications involving 4 sowing dates, viz. S1, 1 November; S2, 16 November; S3, 1 December; S4, 16 December in main-plots and 4 irrigation regimes, viz. I1, 25% maximum allowable depletion (MAD) of available soil moisture (ASM); I2, 50% MAD of ASM; I3, 75% MAD of ASM; I4, based on 4 critical growth stages, in subplots. Significantly highest grain yield was obtained in 1 November sowing (5.20 t/ha) and was at par with 16 November sowing (5.05 t/ha). Yield attributes were also the highest under 1 November sowing. Amongst the irrigation regimes, irrigation scheduling at 25% MAD of ASM resulted significantly more grain yield (4.93 t/ha), followed by I2, I4 and I3 treatments. The I1 treatment resulted in 27.4% more yield than I4 treatment. Intermittent irrigation with small amount of water applied in I1, resulted higher grain and straw yields. The grain yield reduction was 43.7% due to high seasonal mean temperature (+2.2°C) in 16 December sowing over 1 November sowing. The highest water-use efficiency (15.0 kg/ha/mm) and benefit: cost ratio (2.16) were recorded in 25% MAD of ASM and 50% MAD of ASM respectively.

Optimum planting time and row spacing for bergamot mint ( Mentha citrata Ehrh.) var. 'Kiran' under sub tropical plains of central Uttar Pradesh

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at CIMAP farm, Lucknow during 1997-98 to find out the optimum planting time and row spacing for newly developed variety JKiran' of bergamot Inint (Mentha citrata Ehrh.). The crop planted on 15 and 30 December produced higher total herb yield (356 and 349 q ha-1) but maximum oil yield (167 kg ha-1 )was obtained from 30 January planting. Planting at a closer row spacing of 45 or 60 cm produced higher herb and oil yield than wider row spacing of 75 cm. Planting of bergmnot mint in the end of January at a row spacing of 60 cm is suggested for maximum oil production from crop grown for two harvests. However, for a single harvest, planting in mid February is suggested to enable the farmers to grow bergamot mint in rotation with winter season crops such as potato, mustard and vegetables and also rainy season crops after the harvest of bergamot mint.
