He stated, “I was sent to Vietnam in October 1965 with the 33rd Infantry Platoon Scout Dog, to support the combat troops of the 4th…

carried out at three different forward speeds of 1, 1.5 and 2km/hr. For all the factors Rotavator gave superior results than Cultivator. The maximum soil manipulation was achieved by Rotavator at lowest forward speed of 1km/hr. which leads to higher crop yield. Least time required for weeding was obtained by Rotavator at forward speed of 2km/hr. which is 7.80hr/ha while for Cultivator for same speed it was 8.43hr/ha and for manual wheel Cultivator it was 56.33hr/ha. Minimum operation cost was…

seventy-two years. Astronomers refer to this phenomenon as the precession of the equinoxes and it is caused by the slight wobble in the spin of the Earth's axis. Over all it takes 25,800 years for the Sun to complete this full, 360-degree backward rotation through the constellations. This path, which is sometimes referred to as the “Galactic Equator”, cannot be drawn in a precise manner because it changes depending on the clarity of the viewer. The ancient Mayans would not have had a clear…
