Deposit–Refund System for Segregation of Waste Plastic Materials Using Smart Garbage Cans for Effective Recycling of Plastic in Mumbai
Abstract: AbstractRecycling plastic is one of the many effective ways of reducing the carbon footprint of the planet. But most of the plastic waste in Mumbai ends up in the dumping yards and burned along with the other garbage, instead of getting recycled. About 3.5 tons of plastic is thus emitted in the city’s air in the form of toxic gases. Plastic waste is a worldwide issue causing air contamination, water …

Review on Assessment of Use and Efficiency of Mating Design in Plant Breeding
Abstract: AbstractPlant breeder works with many different characters, some of which will be controlled by genes whose individual effects can be easily detected. Selection with these characters can give spectacular results others however, form a bulk of the characters plant breeders work with and are governed by genes whose individual effects are so small that they are not amenable to conventional analysis of segregation ratios. The success of any breeding programme …
