Human interventions in the form of riverbed sand mining are escalating worldwide, especially in the humid tropics with excess population pressure exerting an elevated demand for sand as construction materials. Naturally, channel morphological alterations are observed for the tropical fluvial systems to a large extent. The present work examines the riverbed sand mining of the Mayurakshi River (India) during the last fifty years (1970-2020) using topographical maps, satellite images and field-based cross-sectional measurements. Sand mining history exhibits four phases- (1) initiation phase (1970-1980) (2) expanding phase (1980-2000), (3) steady state (2000-2010) and (4) accelerating phase (2010-2020). Though the first three phases depicted a mild impact of sand mining on channel morphology, the accelerating phase vehemently altered the channel morphology. Topographic sinuosity has increased from 72 % to 81 % at the expense of the hydraulic sinuosity resulting in the lower standard sinuosity index (1.06 to 1.04) caused by the sand mining-induced channel straightening during 1970-2020. Though braiding index (BI*), channel count index (BI), and channel length index (Pt) show an increasing trend with a variable rate (31-76 %) till 2010, there has been a rapid fall (1-138 %) in channel braiding due to sand mining and pit formation. The future trend for 2030 (based on 2010-2020 data) indicates a lowering of the channel sinuosity and braiding in the anticipated increase of mining; however, 1970-2020 data-derived ensemble prediction depicts the trend reversal in 2050. Channel depth, area, asymmetry, and hydraulic radius are higher for sand mining cross-sections (CS). The hierarchical clustering shows that few CS have homogenous clusters determined by sand mining; however, few CS are mixed implying no dominant control of sand mining on them. The study has demonstrated how sand mining acts as the catalyst for channel alterations in various spatial and temporal scales by developing a framework that demonstrates geomorphic system destabilization.

Dietary fishmeal protein replacement with superworm (Zophobas morio) larvae meal: Effect on growth, feed utilization, survival, digestive enzyme activity, skin colour enhancement of juvenile goldfish, Carassius auratus

Author: Ambiya, Golam ; Basu, Arnab ; Bej, Arghyadeep ; Mistry, Ipshita ; Das, Mousumi ; Mondal, Moumita

This study evaluated superworm (Zophobas morio) larvae meal as a novel protein and carotenoid source in diets of goldfish, Carassius auratus.A six-months feeding trial was carried out to estimate the effect of dietary replacement of fishmeal with superworm meal at graded percentages on growth performance, survival, digestive enzyme activity and carotenoid content in skin and muscle tissue of goldfish.Five iso-nitrogenous diets were formulated with 38% of crude protein, substituting fishmeal protein with superworm meal protein at the levels of 0% (D0, control), 25% (D25), 50% (D50), 75% (D75), and 100% (D100), containing 0%, 10.59%, 21.18%, 31.77% and 42.35% superworm meal resp.Escalating the percentage of superworm meal inclusion led to a significant improvement in growth, feed utilization, digestive enzyme activity, survival and carotenoid deposition in skin and muscle tissue of goldfish.Thus, complete replacement of fishmeal protein with superworm meal protein with an inclusion level of 42.35% of diet would be recommended for goldfish.

An insight of heart-like systems with percolation

Author: Goswami, Sanchari ; Molla, Aquib Md

We study the signal percolation through heart-like biol. system.Starting from an initial distribution of Waiting and Inactive cells with probabilities p and (1 - p) resp. the signal propagation is observed in terms of Active cells.As the signal enters the system from one end, the number of arrival of Active sites at the other end is studied and anal. of the system behavior is made by varying a few important parameters of the system like pswitch (switching probability from Inactive to Waiting) and pact (switching probability from Waiting to active).In this connection, the non-regular heart rhythms are discussed.Fraction of percolating paths through the system is studied and showed a transition from 0 to 1 near p = pc.Some other important quantities like tortuosity and cluster distribution are discussed and corresponding exponents have been found.
