Identification of Markers through Micromorphological Approach of Four Species of Fabaceae in Bankura, West Bengal
Abstract: Recently agro-forestry is gaining much importance as it has a vast scope to mitigate several problems. Many parts of the World especially in the tropics, vast areas of forest lands are now denuded of trees destroying the fragile environment and leaving extensive area unproductive. So, these areas can be reutilized by growing fuel wood plants as an alternative to fossil fuel. So, for large scale plantation screening for desired species …

Effect of Thermal Conditions on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of AA5083 Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing
Abstract: A commercial AA5083 with an initial grain size of 210 μm was given an ultrafine-grained structure using the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique under die design as patented. The identical sample underwent two successful passes through the die at 473 K, with each passage causing the sample to rotate 90° along its own longitudinal axis. After just one pressing, the microstructure was comparatively homogeneous. It was made up of …
