    Notes: Using retrospective data on bequest receipts and wealth over two generations of rural Indian households, we have estimated the effect of bequest receipts on the lifetime wealth accumulation of recipients. We exploit the availability of data on two generations of the same household by estimating a family fixed effects model that controls for unobserved, intergenerationally-persistent household endowments. Our results suggest an adverse impact of bequest receipts on the wealth accumulation of recipients. This effect is much more negative for the current generation of household heads than for the previous generation, indicating that the disincentive effects associated with bequest receipts have increased substantially over a generation. Such disincentive effects are consistent with the commonly-observed phenomenon of “regression to the mean.” The empirical results also show that the positive association between schooling and wealth accumulation has strengthened substantially over the course of a generation, implying rising returns to schooling.

    Notes: Storage stability of quail eggs pickled in 50% vinegar solution and subsequently stored in glass jars with pickling solution or in flexible pouches without the solution at mean ambient (24°C, 58% RH) and refrigeration (5°C, 80% RH) temperatures was investigated. Pickle solution, egg white and yolk reached equilibrium pH (4.26–4.31) within 2 and 5 days of ambient and refrigeration storage, respectively. Eggs lost up to 12.2 and 8.8% of their weight within 48 h of ageing under ambient and refrigeration storage, respectively. Polypropylene (PP)-packed pickles suffered maximum weight loss followed by high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-packed eggs; losses were negligible in polyester/foil/polyethylene (PFP) laminate-packed samples. A decrease in phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine with simultaneous increase in lysophosphatidyl choline and lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine plus sphingomyelin occurred in pickled eggs during storage. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value increased and sensory quality declined with storage time. Aerobic plate counts remained fairly low throughout storage. HDPE (84 μm) was found to be an economic and efficient alternative packaging to glass jar for storage of pickled eggs without the pickle solution for up to 4 and 12 months of ambient and refrigerated storage, respectively.

    Notes: Magnetotelluric data observed in frequency and time domains are expressed as apparent resistivity. the apparent resistivity is a weighted spatial average of the subsurface resistivity distribution. In this paper, we develop analytical expressions to compute the apparent resistivity in the time domain for various three-layer earth models. the present approach to computing the magnetotelluric response in the time domain is found to overcome the problems encountered by the method of images. the magnetotelluric response in the time domain for various three-level models have been computed and shown graphically. the time-domain responses show a characteristic behaviour with a small change in layered parameters (resistivity and thickness of the layers), whereas frequency-domain responses do not show such behaviour. This characteristic behaviour of time-domain magnetotelluric sounding curves will be useful in the qualitative interpretation of field data.

    Notes: Sensitivity analysis of electromagnetic (EM) measurements is important to quantify the effect of the subsurface conductivity on the measured response. Knowledge of the sensitivity functions helps in solving inverse problems related to field data. In the present paper, we have derived the sensitivity functions for exponentially varying conductivity earth models. The effect of the exponential variation of conductivity has been illustrated graphically on the sensitivity functions. The effect of varying the periods of the electromagnetic waves on the sensitivity functions has also been studied, which gives the characteristic behaviour of the sensitivity functions. This characteristic behaviour provides information about the exponentially decreasing or increasing conductivity earth models.

    Notes: The genetics of resistance to three Indian pathotypes of Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae, namely, IX01, IX08 and IX09, was studied in a landrace of Indica rice ‘ARC 10464’. Resistance to each of the two pathotypes IX01 and IX09 was governed by two independently-inherited dominant genes while a single dominant gene was operative against patho-type 1X08. The joint segregation tests conducted on F2 plant progenies (F3 families) using pathotypes IX01, IX08 and IX09 suggested that the gene/(s) effective against each of the pathotypes are different.

    Notes: Diseases caused by potato virus X (PVX) are of significant agronomic importance, and early detection is vital. Biotinylated DNA probes were prepared by random-primed labelling from cDNA inserts and used for the detection of PVX in crude extracts of infected tubers. The minimum detection level in these extracts is in the order of femtograms of PVX RNA. Comparison with ELISA showed that the hybridization method is 100–250 times more sensitive. Probes prepared by this method are highly specific for target RNA even in crude tuber extracts.

    Notes: The use of Very High Frequency measurements applied to the detection of the variation in dielectric constant as a precursor to earthquakes is examined. It is concluded that such a technique is feasible and that the installation of source and sensor in separate deep boreholes provides a suitable environment for this type of study. The boreholes could also be used for a considerable range of other types of instrumentation.

    Notes: Resistant starch (RS) was determined in patties (5.1 cm diameter, 1.27 cm high) prepared by mixing starch (corn, rice, wheat, or potato) in distilled water and immersion fried in canola oil (at 170 ± 3C). The RS content (expressed as % of total starch) in corn starch increased from 4.25 to 5.43% (±0.11) in the core region of a patty, whereas in the outer crust region the RS level was constant throughout the frying process. Similar trend was observed in potato, rice, and wheat starch patties. Upon varying the amylose content in the corn starch from 21 to 70%, the initial RS content (prior to frying) increased from 3.47 to 22.74 (±0.11%), following a linear relationship. Maximum force (MF) to puncture the crust of each starch patty was determined for frying duration of 3 to 15 min. Patties exhibiting higher RS content prior to frying, developed crusts with higher MF to puncture the crust, exhibiting a linear relationship between those two variables.

    Notes: Summary The cv Ringo Rose of hybrid seed geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum Bailey), previously shown to be recalcitrant in culture, produced somatic embryos when cotyledonary explants were cultured on regeneration medium containing thidiazuron (TDZ), forchlorfenuron (CPPU), or a combination of indole-3-acetic acid and N6 benzylaminopurine (IAA+BAP). Amendment of the basal medium with TDZ (0.5 μM) was the most effective treatment. Addition of amino acids to the medium promoted the growth of somatic embryos. Retention of the proximal region of the cotyledon was crucial for regeneration, but the removal of the distal 1/3 to 1/2 cotyledon had no significant effect on somatic embryogenesis. Cotyledonary explants formed somatic embryos in higher frequency and much earlier than hypocotyl explants cultured on the same medium. The somatic embryos induced on cotyledonary explants were germinated on basal medium. More than 70% of the somatic embryos were converted into plants and transferred to soil
