Modernizing Sarda Sahayak canal system: The Masscote approach - Ravindra Kumar; Navin Shukla; D. P. Nigam; V. K. Verma (Irrigation and Drainage, 2010)
Mapping system and services of canal management, operation and maintenance aims (a) to enable decision makers, before engaging in investment plans, to ensure that diagnosis and solutions are investigated properly in irrigation modernization projects (through a rapid appraisal procedure); and (b) to suggest some specific strategies on how one should make the best use of the modernization investment made currently (mapping system and services for canal operation techniques). On the basis of analysis carried out through a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department (UPID) training workshop on 7–19 December 2007 for the Jaunpur Branch Canal (JBC) system of the Sarda Sahayak Irrigation Scheme, this paper describes what more needs to be done for modernizing irrigation management in JBC and in other command areas of the state. Some suggestions are: (i) recycling water through shallow wells in the area close to the canal to reduce waterlogging; (ii) formation of a federation of Water Users Associations (WUA) to reduce the cost of operation; (iii) installation of more cross‐regulators in the branch canal to run the canal at the designed full supply level; (iv) installation of modular gates for distributaries and minors; (v) periodic calibration of measurement structures; and (vi) modernization of inner and outer cross‐sections of the canal to attain their water‐carrying capacity.

Role of El Niño/La Niña in temperature extremes over India - J. V. Revadekar; D. R. Kothawale; K. Rupa Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2009)
El Niño and La Niña are well known to be associated with significant monthly/seasonal climate anomalies at many places around the globe. Therefore, an attempt is made in this study to analyse objectively defined indices of observed temperature extremes over India, in terms of their frequencies and intensities, in relation to El Niño/La Niña events using daily station data for minimum and maximum temperature at 121 well‐distributed stations for the period 1970–2003. There is a characteristic change in the El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO)‐associated extremes with the onset of the summer monsoon in June; El Niño is associated with lower frequency of warm extremes during the pre‐monsoon months and with higher frequency of warm extremes during the monsoon and post‐monsoon season. The opposite features are seen in the case of La Niña. In addition, El Niño leads to an increase in extreme highest temperature, whereas La Niña leads to a decrease, during monsoon and post‐monsoon months. Strong antecedent relationship exists between ENSO index and various seasonal extreme temperature indices over the Indian region, indicating potential for long‐range prediction of temperature extremes.

Role of predictors in downscaling surface temperature to river basin in India for IPCC SRES scenarios using support vector machine - Aavudai Anandhi; V. V. Srinivas; D. Nagesh Kumar; Ravi S. Nanjundiah (International Journal of Climatology, 2009)
In this paper, downscaling models are developed using a support vector machine (SVM) for obtaining projections of monthly mean maximum and minimum temperatures ( T max and T min ) to river‐basin scale. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated through application to downscale the predictands for the catchment of the Malaprabha reservoir in India, which is considered to be a climatically sensitive region. The probable predictor variables are extracted from (1) the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis dataset for the period 1978–2000, and (2) the simulations from the third‐generation Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) for emission scenarios A1B, A2, B1 and COMMIT for the period 1978–2100. The predictor variables are classified into three groups, namely A, B and C. Large‐scale atmospheric variables such as air temperature, zonal and meridional wind velocities at 925 mb which are often used for downscaling temperature are considered as predictors in Group A. Surface flux variables such as latent heat (LH), sensible heat, shortwave radiation and longwave radiation fluxes, which control temperature of the Earth's surface are tried as plausible predictors in Group B. Group C comprises of all the predictor variables in both the Groups A and B. The scatter plots and cross‐correlations are used for verifying the reliability of the simulation of the predictor variables by the CGCM3 and to study the predictor‐predictand relationships. The impact of trend in predictor variables on downscaled temperature was studied. The predictor, air temperature at 925 mb showed an increasing trend, while the rest of the predictors showed no trend. The performance of the SVM models that are developed, one for each combination of predictor group, predictand, calibration period and location‐based stratification (land, land and ocean) of climate variables, was evaluated. In general, the models which use predictor variables pertaining to land surface improved the performance of SVM models for downscaling T max and T min . Copyright © 2008 Royal Meteorological Society

Development and characterization of cell lines derived from rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton), and catla, Catla catla (Hamilton) - V P Ishaq Ahmed; V Chandra; R Sudhakaran; S Rajesh Kumar; M Sarathi; V Sarath Babu; B Ramesh; A S Sahul Hameed (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2009)
Two new cell lines, designated RE and CB, were derived from the eye of rohu, Labeo rohita , and the brain of catla, Catla catla , respectively. The cell lines were maintained in Leibovitz’s L‐15 supplemented with 20% foetal bovine serum. The RE cell line was sub‐cultured for more than 70 passages and the CB cell line for more than 35 passages. The RE cells are rounded and consist predominantly of epithelial cells. The CB cell line consists of predominantly fibroblastic‐like cells. Both cell lines are able to grow at temperatures between 25 and 32 °C with an optimum of 28 °C. The growth rate of the cells increased as the foetal bovine serum concentration increased from 2% to 20% at 28 °C, with optimum growth at concentrations of 15% or 20% foetal bovine serum. The cells were successfully cryopreserved and revived at different passage levels. The cell lines were not susceptible to four marine fish viruses. Extracellular products from Aeromonas sp . were toxic to the cell lines. When the cells were transfected with plasmid eukaryotic green fluorescent protein (pEGFP [Clontech, Carlsbad, CA, USA]) vector DNA, a significant fluorescent signal was observed suggesting that these cell lines could be a useful tool for transgenic and genetic manipulation studies. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of mitochondrial 12S rRNA from rohu and catla confirmed that the cell lines originated from these fish species. The cell lines were further characterized by immunocytochemistry using confocal laser scanning microscopy.
