The Many Duties Of Party Planning Software

July 30th, 2015

Party planning can be a very detailed-orientated job. Even the smallest parties can mean an awful lot of planning, to say nothing about the larger parties. However, regardless of the party you are planning big or small, birthday party, wedding, anniversary, bachelor party or any other party, party planning software can be a great resource for anyone whose job it is to plan a party or an event.

Party planning software is a perfect choice for many different reasons. The first good use for this software is once you have gotten all of the details in place you can simply input them to the software and have them broken down into specific categories such as food and beverage, entertainment, guest checklists, invitations, and decorations. Not only is this a good way to have a detailed punch list when organizing the party, you can also track your expenses per item so you will know where every dollar you spend is going to. Budgets are a very important part of any party planning and keeping a detailed eye on what money is being spent on collectively. This can avert cost overages as well as ensure that nothing is overlooked.

Another benefit to party planning software is that you can plan even the smallest of details such as party layouts specific to the space where the party is being held. In addition seating charts can be created, managed and edited on a moment’s notice. It also serves as a great way to keep track of the guest list and RSVP responses. These tasks may be easily managed with a pad of paper and a pen when smaller parties are in question. However, with a large party such as a wedding, picnic or a corporate event, keeping a close tab on every little detail is important in making sure everything goes according to plan.

The reality is that any party that you are planning could use the help of planning software. If you want everything to be taken care of and nothing forgotten or left to chance then your computer is your ace in the hole. Regardless of what size gathering you are in charge of planning, using party planning software will make you wonder how anyone ever survived without it.

Anti-virus Software Moving Foward

July 13th, 2015

The first antivirus software agent was the Reaper virus which was launched in 1973. It was developed to hunt down and kill a harmless network virus called Creeper. Reaper was not antivirus software as we now know it, but it performed a similar function.

Modern antivirus software first made an appearance in the mid to late 1980s. Viruses had started to become an unpleasant threat by then and there were a number at loose. Famous examples are Elk Cloner which infected Apple systems, Brain and Vienna which infected PCs, and a host of others. Before the internet became ubiquitous viruses were spread mostly by floppy discs. The first virus to be tamed was the Vienna. The first company to market antivirus software was Certus which later became part of Symantec.

The first thing antivirus software must do is detect the presence of a virus. There are several methods, but the most common one is analogous to searching for a bit of DNA coding in a chromosome. Viruses generally attach themselves to existing code just as biological viruses attach themselves to chromosomes. The antivirus software seeks for this snippet of malicious code by examining the full string and comparing it with a database of known virus codes.

When a virus code is unknown, the software will monitor the activity of the computer looking for unusual events that could be related to a virus infection. Another way is to examine the functionality of a file to see if it codes for virus like activity.

Once the software has identified a virus, its second job is to heal the computer. Depending on the virus it is generally possible to choose from a number of actions. These are to delete, quarantine, or repair the file.

More sophisticated virus attempt to hide from antivirus software by using various disguises. To counter this antivirus software will only allow files to be executed once they have been proven to be clean. It is an ongoing war. At present it seems that the virus makers are a little ahead of the game, though that could easily change.

EFFECT OF NITROGEN NUTRITION AND GROWTH REGULATORS ON CROP GROWTH ATTRIBUTES IN BLACK GRAM (Vigna m

July 12th, 2015

EFFECT OF NITROGEN NUTRITION AND GROWTH REGULATORS ON CROP GROWTH ATTRIBUTES IN BLACK GRAM (Vigna mungo L.) Hepper. K.Krishna Surendar*, Mallika Vanagamudi and H.Vijayaraghavan Department of Crop Physiology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University,Coimbatore-3 ABSTRACT In the experiment conducted during July to October, 2007 to examine the effect of nitrogen nutrition and growth regulators on dry matter accumulation, CGR, NAR, SLW and LAI in black gram variety CO-5. Basal application of N P K and urea 2 % was common for all the treatments. In T3 an addition dose of nitrogen @ 25 kg ha-1 was given. The foliar spray was given at 25 DAS and 10 days after the first spray. The basal application of nitrogen 25kg ha-1 with foliar spray of urea 2% and 0.1 ppm brassinolide significantly increased the dry matter accumulation. Other growth attributes via, LAI, CGR, NAR, and SLW increased with the basal application of nitrogen 25kg ha-1 with foliar spray of urea 2% and 0.1 ppm brassinolide as compared to other treatments. Key Words: Nitrogen nutrition, plant growth regulators LAI, CGR, NAR, SLW, dry matter accumulation.

INTRODUCTION Black gram is a widely grown grain legume and belongs to the family fabaceae and assumes considerable importance from the point of food and nutritional security. It is a short duration crop suitable for multiple cropping systems and intercropping. . The average productivity of pulses in Tamil Nadu is about (432kg ha-1) which is very low when compared to Indian average of 610 kg ha-1. The important factors which reduce the Black gram yield are, indeterminate in its flowering and fruiting habits and there is a competition for available assimilates between vegetative and reproductive sinks. There is limitation of source (leaves) particularly at flowering and fruiting stage. Hence, there is a need to improve Leaf Area Index, Crop Growth Rate, Net Assimilation Rate and Specific Leaf Weight. Being a C3 plant, CGR and RGR are relatively less than cereals. Apart from this genetic make up, the major physiological constraints limiting its production is flower drop and fruit drop (Ojeaga and Ojehomon, 1972). Therefore, present study was conducted to examine the effect of nitrogen nutrition and plant growth regulators on the regulation of growth attributes of black gram. The research experiment was carried out at millet Breeding Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during July to October, 2007. The experimental site is located at 11o E longitude and 77o N latitude in an altitude of 426.8m above MSL. The soil was sandy loam in texture having 27.4 %, PH 8.7, EC 0.22 dSm-1, 10.3 % fine sand, 10.7 % silt, 22.6% clay, available N,P,K are 207, 21, 554 kg ha-1. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Nine treatments were taken, T1 (control), T2 (N 25 kg ha-1 + Urea 2% + NAA 40ppm), T3 (N 50 kg ha-1 + CCC 200 ppm), T4 (N 25 kg ha-1 + Urea 2% + CCC 200ppm), T5 (N 25 kg ha-1 + Urea 2% + Humic acid 0.1%), T6 (N 25 kg ha ha-1 + Urea 2% + Salicylic acid 100 ppm) T7 (N 25 kg ha ha-1 + Urea 2% + Brassinosteriod 0.1 ppm), T8 (N 25 kg ha ha-1 + Urea 2% + ZnSO4 0.5% + FeSO4 0.5% + Borax 0.2%), T9 (N 25 kg ha-1 + water spray), were imposed at 25 DAS and 10 days after the first spray. Dry matter accumulation of plant parts (root, stem, leaves and pods) was recorded at vegetative, flowering, pod filling and harvest stages from five plants in a row. The mean monthly minimum and maximum temperature during the crop season from 23.1o C to 29.6o C respectively. Leaf area was recorded by using leaf area meter (Model LICOR 3100). The samples were oven dried at 70oC for about 72 hours and dry weight was recorded. Leaf Area Index, Crop Growth Rate, Net Assimilation Rate, Specific Leaf Weight were calculated by employing the formula of Williams (1946), Pearce et al. (1968), Watson (1956) and Gregory et al. (1917).

RESULT AND DISCUSSION Basal application of nitrogen 25 kg ha-1 with foliar spray of urea 2% and 0.1 ppm brassinolide enhanced dry matter accumulation by 25 per cent over control at the final stage of the crop (table 1). Besides this treatment, CCC 200ppm + urea 2 % with normal N 25 kg ha-1 also found better in improving the total dry matter production by 18 per cent over control. The physiological parameters viz. Leaf Area Index, Crop Growth Rate, Net Assimilation Rate, Specific Leaf Weight were significantly influenced by the application of nitrogen 25kg ha-1 with foliar spray of urea 2% and 0.1 ppm brassinolide at flowering and pod filling stage of the crop (35 and 40 %, 30 and 33%, 20 and 28 %, 12 and 11.6 % ). Basal application of nitrogen 25kg ha-1 with foliar spray of urea 2% and 0.1 ppm brassinolide at flowering and pod filling stages were found significantly better over control. Specific leaf weight is a measure of leaf thickness has been reported to have a strong positive correlation with leaf photosynthesis of several crops as reported by Bowes et al. (1972). Thicker leaves would have mere number of mesophyll cells with high density of chlorophyll and therefore, have a greater photosynthetic capacity than thinner leaves (Craufurd et al. 1999). Watson (1958) suggested that the cause for the decrease in net assimilation rate with increased leaf area in crop plants was due to mutual shading of the leaves which would decrease the leaf photosynthesis. Crop production is determined by crop growth rate as a function of light interception by the leaf area of a crop (Whigham, 1983). Leaf area index is one of the principle factors influencing canopy net photosynthesis of the crop plants (Hansen, 1972). Better foliage retention with delayed senescence was attributed to maintenance of higher leaf area index if this crop subjected to the treatment with high nitrogen dose.
