Review of Sand Inclusion Defect Analysis to Initiate the Improvement in FNB Casting Process
Abstract: Sand inclusion is an important defect in grey cast iron castings. On an average, this defect accounts for 30 to 40% of the total number of defects arising in the foundries. Sand inclusion is undesirable since it ends up in reducing the strength of the castings and worsens the finish of the casting surface. Hundred or more parameters are responsible for sand inclusion defect and hence it is cumbersome and …

Molecular Characterization of Abiotic Stress Tolerant Chickpea Rhizobia
Abstract: Rhizobacteria are root-colonizing bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with many legumes. Though parasitic varieties of rhizobacteria exist, the term usually refers to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both the parties (mutualism). Such bacteria are often referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacterias (PGPRs). Though microbial inoculants are indisputably beneficial for crops, they are not widely used in industrial agriculture, as large-scale application techniques have yet to become …
