This paper explores the process of Environmental Control in Greenhouse and Animal Houses with Earth-Tube-Heat-Exchangers in hot semi-arid north-west India. [Working Paper No. 2009-11-04]

A crate of Himachal tomato was obtained from Azad Mandi, Delhi. It contained 252 fruits. Each fruit was weighed and its axial dimension measured. Data of all 252 fruits was then subjected to cluster analysis, using weight and axial dimension separately as basis. The tool of Cluster Analysis...

A program was initiated in 1998 to develop technology to improve water and land productivity in Kutch, a vast semi-arid and hot region in north-west India. Greenhouse cultivation was identified as basic approach. A new experimental facility was designed consisting of a greenhouse coupled to ETHE...

We present in this paper, an operational study of CJ Patel Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market (CJP Market) of Ahmedabad city. The market is viewed as a dynamic queuing system. A simulation model is constructed. Simulations are used to generate statistics on congestion as the volume of trade is...

The Capital Asset Pricing Model is a single period model which specifies a linear relationship between return on an asset and return on the entire market. The model is widely used in literature as if a portfolio of securities can be designed based on a unique value of systematic risk. In this...

Fourier series representations of some climatic variables were developed using data from the site of an experimental greenhouse at Kothara (Kutch). Hourly data was averaged over a month to yield a profile of an average day of that month. That was put through harmonic analysis to determine...

Indian convertible bonds have two peculiar features that make them possibly unique in the world: a) the bonds are compulsorily converted into equity without any option, and b) the conversion terms are not specified at the time of issue but are left to be determined subsequently by the Controller...

We present in this paper, an operational study of CJ Patel Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market of Ahmedabad city using simulation. This market was built in the year 1996 in order to reduce congestion in another older market. Viewed as a dynamic queuing system, simulations suggest that even...
