Lactation Persistency and its Genetic Evaluation in Cattle—A Review
Abstract: Lactation persistency, an economically important trait for dairy animal, can be defined as the capacity of a cow to continue milk production at a high level after the peak yield. High persistent cows are expected to have higher lactation production, longer productive life and considered as efficient producers. Moreover, lactation persistency has a great influence on the health, reproduction and feed costs of dairy cows. Different environmental factors viz., season …

Statistical Analysis of Geomagnetic Activity and Solar Activity Features during Solar Cycle 23 & 24
Abstract: We present a statistical analysis of the geomagnetic storm (GMSs) with the solar activity features (Sunspot number (SN), H-α flare and coronal mass ejection (CME)) during solar cycle 23 and 24. Sunspot number (SN) shows good correlation with peak values of GMSs indices (correlations coefficient R= 0.76) while CME(R=0.59) and H-α (R=0.55) show moderate correlation. So we conclude that GMSs have good correlation with solar activity features during major geomagnetic …

A Study of Geomagnetic Storms and Associated Solar Flares
Abstract: Geomagnetic storms are temporal disturbances of the earth’s magnetosphere caused by a prolonged southward interplanetary magnetic field and usually coinciding with the arrival of coronal mass ejections (CME). Most geomagnetic storms occur under disturbed condition making it intrinsically uneasy to distinguish one geomagnetic storm from another especially in respect of solar origin. Thirty four (34) geomagnetic storms occurring between 1997 and 2012 have been studied whose storms signatures could be …
