    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 5 May 2020 | ISSN: 2320-28820 A STUDY OF WOMEN'S SCARF MADE UP OF MIK CASEIN FABRIC 1Akshatha HN 1Asst. Professor 1BangaloreUniversity ABSTRACT The objective of this case study is to understand that milk fabric is used to make the scarf using Tie and dye method . In this case, ‘Tie & Dye’ method has been used to give color to the fabric with the help of acid dyeing. Milk fabric is manufactured by knitting. It is a delicate fabric, hence it is preferably used for giving a beautifying and decorative look to the wearer. In this case study, scarves are made from milk fabric. Different cut shapes of scarves including square & rectangle have been introduced to the market. In order to enhance the overall look of the scarf, embellishment is done on the scarf with lace. Keeping the summer collection in mind, Tie & Die method has been used to bring out the bright & colorful features in the scarf. The major significance of this collection lies in satisfying customers, no collection is complete without feedback from customers as every collection should be directed towards market segmentation. A detailed market survey has been conducted through a set of questionnaire which covers all the aspects and parameters that decide the potentiality of this collection. INTRODUCTION .Different sorts of natural fibers were used by people of all nations around the world for ages and various fabric forming techniques allowed them to have different sorts of textile for making clothes. Later, with the development of chemical technologies the number of available materials has ballooned.

(Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) in the Republic of Moldova Dina Elisovetcaia1*, Valeriu Derjanschi1, Irina Agas'eva 2, and Mariya Nefedova2 1Institute of Zoology, Republic of Moldova, Chisinau 2All-Russian Research Institute of Biological Plant Protection, Russia, Krasnodar-39, 350039 Abstract. The impact of insect artificial diet on the egg production of females was examined for L29 consequently generations of laboratory populations Perillus bioculatus (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae, Asopinae). Particular attention is paid to the overwintered generation, which plays a key role in the rehabilitation of the predator populations after hibernation. It was shown that with an increase in the number of laboratory generations of a predator (from L13 to L29), egg production of P. bioculatus females significantly decreases – from 16.4-35.7 to 15.0-27.5 eggs / female in terms of the total number of females in the laboratory populations. The proportion of eggs laid by females of winter generation was the lowest when feeding on Galleria mellonella larvae. Was established food preferences among the assortment of native for Republic of Moldova leaf beetles: Entomoscelis adonidis Pallas 1771, Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmid, 1825) and C. coerulans (Scriba, 1791). P. bioculatus imago overwintered generation refused to feed on E. suturalis larvae and imago, probably because of the isoquinoline alkalods contained in the hemolymph of the leaf beetle. Studies have shown that supplementary feeding with imago of E.

An invasive species, the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Sta˚ l), is spreading through the region. However, little is known about the complex of stink bug species associ- ated with corn and soybean in the midwestern United States. In this region, particularly in the more northern states, stink bugs have historically caused only infrequent impacts to these crops. To prepare growers and agri- cultural professionals to contend with this new threat, we provide a review of stink bugs associated with soybean and corn in the midwestern United States.

The characteristic odor components were also detected in the oil using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) analysis and aroma extraction dilution analysis (AEDA). As a result, 100 components (accounting for 99.11 %) of S. laeteviolacea, were identified. The major components of S. laeteviolacea oil were found to be 1-octen-3-ol (27.72 %), germacrene D (21.67 %),and β-caryophyllene (9.18 %). The GC-O and AEDA results showed that 1-octen-3-ol, germacrene D, germacrene B, and β-caryophyllene were the most characteristic odor components of the oil. These compounds are thought to contribute to the unique flavor of this plant.

It presents a variety of secondary metabolites such as diterpenes that are commonly found in their species, and some of them are known to be chemotaxonomic markers. The aim of this work was to construct a database of diterpenes and to use it to perform a chemotaxonomic analysis among the subfamilies of Lamiaceae, using molecular descriptors and self-organizing maps (SOMs). The 4115 different diterpenes corresponding to 6386 botanical occurrences, which are distributed in eight subfamilies, 66 genera, 639 different species and 4880 geographical locations, were added to SistematX. Molecular descriptors of diterpenes and their respective botanical occurrences were used to generate the SOMs. In all obtained maps, a match rate higher than 80% was observed, demonstrating a separation of the Lamiaceae subfamilies, corroborating with the morphological and molecular data proposed by Li et al.
