Coal liquefaction is a process that converts coal from a solid state into liquid fuels, usually to provide substitutes for petroleum products. Coal liquefaction processes were first developed in the early part of the 20th century but later application was hindered by the relatively low price and wide availability of crude oil and natural gas. Large scale applications have existed in only a few countries, e.g., Germany during WWII and South Africa since the 1960s. The oil crises of the 1970s and the threat of depletion of conventional oil supplies sparked a renewed interest in the production of oil substitutes from coal during the 1980s. There are two different methods for converting coal into liquid fuels: Direct liquefaction works by dissolving the coal in a solvent at high temperature and pressure. This process is highly efficient, but the liquid products require further refining to achieve high grade fuel characteristics. Indirect liquefaction gasifies the coal to form a ‘syngas’ (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). The syngas is then condensed over a catalyst – the ‘Fischer-Tropsch’ process – to produce high quality, ultra-clean products. In India: A policy decision has been taken to promote coal liquefaction in the country from the energy security point of view. A gazette notification has been issued notifying coal liquefaction as one of the specified end uses for the purpose of allotment of captive coal/lignite blocks to the entrepreneurs. Both direct and indirect methods of converting coal into oil have been tested commercially in different countries. An experimental project using direct conversion technology with the coals of North-Eastern Coalfields has been successfully tested earlier by Oil India Limited. This was informed by Shri Pratik Prakashbapu Patil, Minister of State in the Ministry of Coal while replying a written question in Lok Sabha today.

A single wheel cannot turn”, says the Arthashastra, rather inaccurately, “and so the government is only possible with assistance. Therefore a king should appoint councillors and listen to their advice. ” At the head of affairs was a small body of elder states¬ men, whom the king was advised to choose with the utmost care. In fact, the council often exerted great powers. It might transact business in the king’s absence, and the Asokan inscriptions show that it might make minor decisions without consulting him. The functions of the councillors were not always sharply defined or delimited, and terminology varied considerably. There seems usually to have been a chief counsellor, the mantrin par excellence, often called “great counsellor” (mahamantrin). With orthodox kings, the purohita or court chaplain was very influential, and one source even suggests that before coming to a final decision the king should deliberate privately with him. The treasurer and chief tax- collector (called in the Arthasastra sannidhatr and samahartr respectively), were important, as was the “ minister of peace and war” {sandhivigrahika) , a title which does not appear until Gupta times. Hence, pair 1 is correctly matched. This minister approximated to the foreign secretary of the modern state, but had more definite military functions and often accompanied the king on a campaign. The pradvivaka, or chief judge and legal advisor, seems to have been important in medieval Hindu kingdoms, and the Senapati, or general, was always influential, while the mahaksapatalika, or chief record keeper and secretary, no doubt attended the council meetings. Hence, both pairs 2 and 3 are not correctly matched.

- The passageway from the ovaries to the outside of the body is known as the oviduct (or Fallopian tube). The eggs travel along the oviduct. These eggs will either be fertilized by sperm to become a zygote, or will degenerate in the body. Fertilisation takes place in humans in one of the fallopian tubes or within the uterus. It is the process by which the nucleus fuses with the nucleus of an egg. - Tubectomy also referred to, as Tubal Sterilization is a surgical procedure done on women as a permanent method of contraception. - Sperms are produced at a temperature that is lower than the body temperature. Human testicles cannot function properly unless they are able to stay cooler than the rest of the body. The male anatomy is designed to create distance between the testes and the core body temperature.

Recently, ICMR and Department of Biotechnology released revised guidelines on stem cells research in India. Which of the following statements regarding stem cells is/are correct? 1. Stem cells are characterized by their ability for self-renewal (i.e., maintaining their undifferentiated state during several rounds of cell division). 2. Stem cells are characterized by their potency (i.e., the ability to differentiate into specialized cell types). 3. The use of adult stem cells in research and therapy is less controversial than embryonic Stem cells, because their production does not require the destruction of an embryo. 4.Induced Pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) is an artificially created stem cell used to treat human diseases.

- Embryonic stem cells are derived from very early embryos and can in theory give rise to all cell types in the body. It involves destruction of an embryo which is an ethical issue. - Many adult tissues contain stem cells that can replace cells that die or restore tissue after injury. Skin, muscle, intestine and bone marrow, for example, each contain their own stem cells. Adult stem cells are tissue-specific, meaning they are found in a given tissue in our bodies and generate the mature cell types within that particular tissue or organ. Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka’s lab in Kyoto, Japan, who showed in 2006 that the introduction of four specific genes could convert adult cells into pluripotent stem cells.[1] He was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize along with Sir John Gurdon "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent."

The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who proposed it in 1842 in Prague, is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren or horn approaches, passes, and recedes from an observer. Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach, identical at the instant of passing by, and lower during the recession. Following are possible application area: Sirens Astronomy Temperature measurement Radar Medical imaging and blood flow measurement Flow measurement Velocity profile measurement Satellite communication Underwater acoustics Audio Vibration measurement

Which of the following statements is true?
|
Pyramid of energy can be inverted but pyramid of numbers can never be inverted.
|
Pyramid of numbers and Pyramid of Biomass can be inverted but pyramid of energy can never be inverted.
|
All three - Pyramid of numbers, Pyramid of Biomass and Pyramid of energy – can be inverted.
|
Pyramid of energy can be inverted but pyramid of numbers can never be inverted.
|
Pyramid of numbers shows the number of each organism at the different trophic levels (feeding levels ie. producers consumers and decomposers) in a food web. They may be upright (e.g. Grassland ecosystem), inverted (parasitic ecosystem) or dumbbell shaped (forest ecosystem).
Pyramid of biomass is the measurement of the dry mass of organisms in the different trophic levels. The pyramid of biomass may be "inverted". For example, in a pond ecosystem, the standing crop of phytoplankton, the major producers, at any given point will be lower than the mass of the heterotrophs, such as fish and insects. This is explained as the phytoplankton reproduce very quickly, but have much shorter individual lives.
The pyramid of energy shows the amount of energy at each trophic level. One of the Laws of Thermodynamics says that the amount of available energy decreases whenever energy is changed in form (which includes a transfer from one trophic level to another). So, as we go from the first trophic level to the top trophic level, the amount of available energy becomes less and less. The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels

Recently, many parts of India received heavy hailstorms for days. What was the possible cause of these hailstorms?
|
Cold South westerly winds
|
Cold Westerly winds
|
Winds originated from cold Himalayas
|
Cold South westerly winds
|
The hailstorms were caused because of an unusual movement of cold westerly winds that come from the north and cause snowfall over the Himalayan region in January. The cold westerlies usually blow around 30 degree latitude, where Kashmir is located. But this year, they came down to about 15 degree latitude, bringing hailstorms. The situation intensified when the cold westerlies, after picking up moisture from the Arabian Sea, met the south westerlies, which, too, were moisture-laden. The winds could not move beyond the Bay of Bengal because of the presence of high pressure belt and started blowing clockwise over the central, western and part of northern India. They characteristically moved upwards and precipitated the moisture in the form of hail. In early January this year, polar vortex in the Arctic weakened and collapsed, allowing cold air to escape down to the mid-latitudes. The disturbed jet stream further pushed down cold air from the Arctic

Article 123 of the Constitution empowers the President to promulgate ordinances during the recess of Parliament. These ordinances have the same force and effect as an act of Parliament.
He can promulgate an ordinance only when both the Houses of Parliament are not in session or when either of the two Houses of Parliament is not in session. An ordinance can also be issued when only one House is in session because a law can be passed by both the Houses and not by one House alone.
The President can also withdraw an ordinance at any time. However, his power of ordinance-making is not a discretionary power, and he can promulgate or withdraw an ordinance only on the advice of the council of ministers headed by the prime minister.
An ordinance like any other legislation, can be retrospective, that is, it may come into force from a back date. It may modify or repeal any act of Parliament or another ordinance. It can alter or amend a tax law also. However, it cannot be issued to amend the Constitution
