Production of Bacteriocin-like Substances by Bacillus Spp. JY-1 in Soy Whey

Soy whey is a by-product from the processing of soybean products, which is generally discarded and considered as waste. In recent years, a large number of bacteriocins produced by bacteria have been described. However, the production of bacteriocins in soy whey has not yet reported. Bacteriocin-like substance producing B. spp JY-1 was isolated from Chinese traditional fermented soybean (douchi) in previous study. In present study, the antimicrobial spectrum, and the effect of enzymes, pH and heat on the antibacterial activity of bacteriocin-like substance produced by B. spp JY-1 were evaluated. Then, the effects of supplement of carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of bacteriocin-like substances in soy whey were also investigated. Results obtained indicated that bacteriocin-like substance in cell-free supernatant of JY-1 exhibited broad inhibitory spectrum both against some food-borne pathogens. The bacteriocin-like substance JY-1 was sensitive to trypsin and pepsin, but stable between pH 2.0-10, and heat resistance (65-105°C). In addition, the production of bacteriocin-like substance JY-1 started at the early exphonential phase and reached its maximum at the stationary phase. The antimicrobial activity of cell-free supernatant of JY-1 cultured in soy whey was observed. The supplement of soluble starch or beef extract in soy whey yielded a higher production of bacteriocin-like substance. The results indicated that the bacteriocin-like substance JY-1 may be a potential candidate for alternative agent to control important food pathogens, and the soy whey has potential for production of bacteriocins.

State Machine Replication Towards Opportunistic Parallel Ordering in Byzantine Fault Tolerant System

The number of online services has been growing fast for decades. Services which hold critical data, they have specific requirements on higher availability, robustness and stronger consistency. The State Machine Replication (SMR) technology is widely used to address these requirements by using replicas to provide fault tolerance guarantee. Generally, it inspires the design of Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocols for Byzantine failure models. Due to the massive message exchanges and single-leader based total order, performance is always a major concern when using BFT protocol in practice and so many improvements had been proposed to solve it. Recently proposed Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems achieve high throughput by processing requests in parallel and synchronization but as their agreement protocols rely on a single leader and make big efforts to establish a global total order on all requests before execution, the performance and scalability of such approaches gets limited.
ANN classifier for human identification using PCA Feature and Gait Energy image

This paper are present a human identification using gait recognition technique. Gait shows a particular way or manner of moving on object and gait recognition is the process of identifying an individual by the manner in which they walk. The gait is less unobtrusive biometric technique, which offers the possibility to identify people at a distance, in without any interaction or co-operation from the subject. This is the property which makes it so attractive. A PCA (Principal component analysis) was then applied to this dataset in order to reduce the dimensionality. The perimeter of contour and the area of each silhouette were added to the dataset.
Framework for Efficient Secure Steganographic Communication over Network Protocols

Security by obscurity has gained attention; as a result steganography is becoming more popular in the network communication. Network steganography describes various methods used for transmitting data over a network without it being detected. Most of the methods proposed for hiding data in a network do not offer an additional protection to the covert data as it is sent as plain text. This paper presents a framework that offers the protection to the covert data by encrypting it and compresses it for gain in efficiency. Several ways of sending covert information through network using TCP/IP protocol are discussed. Also, the communication made more secure and efficient by using compression and encryption techniques. Finally, the performance of the proposed framework is compared with other steganography tools.
Key Credit Factors for Public Private Partnership ( PPP ) Projects Financing in Malaysia

887 Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering & Sciences Publication Retrieval Number:F11530476S319/19©BEIESP Abstract: Public Private Partnership (PPP) has been implemented by many governments around the world as an innovative procurement for development of public infrastructure projects. Since the PPP projects involve large amounts of investment and long concession periods, the projects are associated with high credit risk. Usually, debt portion is between 70% and 95% of project costs. Hence, banks are exposed to credit risk when they are involved in lending to these large projects with long gestation periods. Banks evaluate the creditworthiness of the private company based on quantifiable financial indicators and qualitative elements of the company’s strength. The private company that is lacking in financial capacity, inexperienced in construction, and weak in management capabilities, faces a high probability of failing to secure PPP financing. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and critically assess the key credit factors in PPP project financing. Data collected through literature review and case study investigation were analysed using computer-assisted ATLAS.ti. Five groups of key credit factors were identified consisting of the project’s financial credit strength, strength of sponsor, contractual foundation, transaction characteristics, and security package. The findings contribute to the current knowledge of PPP financing that is to succeed in obtaining funding for PPP projects, it is imperative for the private company to understand the risk profile of the projects from debt-financing perspective.
Evaluation of Clinical outcomes after Tigecycline and Colistin Treatment against Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Cases of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB) infection are increasing worldwide. Therapeutic options are limited, and these include tigecycline and colistin. However, few comparative studies have assessed the clinical effectiveness of these antibiotics. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the efficacy and safety of tigecycline and colistin in the treatment of an MRAB infection in order to generate optimal drug information. We retrospectively examined the electronic medical records of patients admitted to tertiary hospitals between January 2014 and March 2015. Patients were injected with colistin (colistimethate sodium) or tigecycline for at least 14 consecutive days intravenously. Data were obtained from blood samples taken at baseline and after 14days in order to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of these antibiotics. Eighty-four patients were treated with 50-100 mg of tigecycline per day (n=45) and 75-300 mg of colistin per day (n=39). The most frequent indications for treatment were skin and soft infection in the tigecycline group and pneumonia in the colistin group. Both antibiotics significantly decreased serum C-reactive protein (tigecycline vs. colistin = -3.4 ± 5.7 vs. -5.4 ± 7.5 mg/dL, p<0.05).

Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Primary and Secondary Benzylic Alcohols Using a Well Defined Phosphine Free Air Stable Mn- Catalyst. Synthesis of Imines via Dehydrogenative Coupling of Alcohols and Amines

Department of Chemistry, Banwarilal Bhalotia College, GT Rd, Ushagram, Asansol, West Bengal, India 713303 ABSTRACT Acceptor less dehydrogenation of alcohols, in which hydrogen gas is liberated, is an atomeconomical and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of useful organic carbonyl compounds in absence of stoichiometric oxidants. The carbonyl compounds, thus synthesized, can be further functionalized to other useful organic compounds like imines, amides or esters in presence of suitable coupling partners. These class of reactions are also of immense interest in the field of energy storage technologies as it offers an opportunity to get H2 form biomass-derived alcohols and carbohydrates. However, most of the catalysts used for dehydrogenation reaction are mainly based on precious and expensive heavy metals. In this article we report a simple environmentally benign acceptorless dehydrogenation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols catalyzed by a well defined Mn(II)-complex [Mn(1,10-phen)2Cl2]. Imines were also synthesized via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines. Several controlled reactions along with deuterium labelling studies were carried out to establish the acceptorless dehydrogenative nature of the reactions.
Advanced Wireless Telemedicine application using Embedded Sensor and Android OS

Many patients who have undergone major surgeries/therapies require continuous monitoring of their health parameters such as body temperature, pulse rate etc. Hence usually they are advised to remain in the hospitals for months, which is not affordable. We are therefore suggesting a system which could monitor the health continuously and remotely and also alert the doctor when any of the parameter varies beyond the safe level.
Countermeasures Against Internal Jammer in Wireless Broadcast Networks

A wireless network is highly sensitive to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The wireless network is affe cted by the numerous security threats such as jamming. Jamming attacks interrupts the normal operations in the wireless ne tworks. Due to the open nature of the wireless medium the jammi ng leads to the Denial of Service attacks. Jamming is an ext ernal threat model and it can be done by transmitting the contin uous interference signal to interrupt the packet transmi s ion. The anti-jamming techniques such as spread-spectrum communications and the other jamming evasion techni ques provide the bit level protection and it can be know only to the communicating nodes. But, it only protects wireless under an external threat model. An adversary with internal k nowledge of network topology and the protocol specification can make the selective jamming attacks with low effort. The inside adversary targets the highly important message by u sing its internal knowledge of the network secrets and it de grades the network performance. The adversary uses the packet classification method and targets the first few bit s of packet so that it can not be easily recovered by the receiver . To mitigate these selective jamming three methods has been prop osed to reduce the impact of the inside adversaries. The c ryptographic primitives can be combined with the physical layer att ibutes to prevent the packet classification. Keywords— Selective jamming, denial-of-service, real time packet classification, data selective jamming , channel selective jamming.
Design of Low Power & High Performance Dual-V dd Multi -V th Level Converter

Clock distribution networks consume a major portion of the power of a chip . Continuous Scaling of VLSI Technology i.e Channel length ,Supply has lead to integration of millions of transistors on a single chip operating at very high clock frequencies. Besides area and performance, the modern VLSI designs aim at low-power consumption due to limited battery lifetime. Most voltage scaling techniques require that the Integrated Circuit operates at a single supply voltage The design utilizing Dual Vdd and Single Vth provide effective reduction of power. The use of multiple supply voltages (multi-Vdd) is an effective technique for reducing the power consumption without degrading the speed in an integrated circuit (IC). To transfer signals among the circuits operating at different supply voltages such as Dual Vdd , level converters are required. Three new multi supply voltages (multi-Vdd) level converters are proposed in this paper. The proposed level converters are compared with the level converter. For high performance and Low power design, different types of level converters are analyzed.

Balanced fertilization is one of the most important factors for increasing yield and improving the quality of wheat crop. In human nutrition PA / Zn ratio is an important factor and nutrients absorption will be reduced by high levels of PA / Zn ratio in diet. Effect of Phosphorus and Zinc fertilizer application to increasing the quality of nourishment in winter wheat a field experiment was carried out from 2008 to 2009 in researching Karaj region. In a factorial experiment with a randomized complete block design and three replicates per treatment, tree levels of P (0, 100 and 200 kg.ha-1 as DAP), two levels of Zn (0 and 40 kg.ha-1as zinc sulfate) and 300 kg.ha-1 urea fertilizer added to the trial plots. All other management practices were done in conventional methods. The seeds were Pishtaz variety that was planted. The Anova results showed that the effect of different rates of P and Zn on chemical characteristic of wheat grain was significant (P < 0.05). P and Zn increased the P and Zn grain concentration also increased grain protein and total grain nitrogen. The interactive effect of P and Zn on above characteristic was significant (P < 0.05) the best treatment in this study was obtained in Zn1P1. The effect of P on the PA/Zn ratio of grain was significant at 5% level and increased it (87.1%) but Zn application significantly (P < 0.05). As far the results of this study reveal that consumption of these two fertilizers it’s significant on flour pH and acidity. For reduction of PA / Zn ratios balanced and have a good quality wheat flour, fertilization especially Zn application and apply P fertilizers only on the basis of soil testing are necessary. * Corresponding Author: Amirpouya Sarraf  amirpooya@hotmail.com International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print) 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 5, No. 4, p. 82-87, 2014

Feature Based Opinion Mining of Customer Review With Entity Chunking Technique

Every e-commerce sites have reviews and ratings for products as well as for movies. Analyzing these reviews and comments is very much needed to understand the customers' expectations. Casual obtaining of sentiments for a particular product will be of no great use. Rather obtaining the features of a product in which the customer is delighted or not delighted about will be more effective. Feature based Opinion Mining deals with the aspects extraction of a product and identifying the sentiments of the user for each aspect. A comparative sentence of a customer on two products is widely eliminated in the previous works. But these comparative sentences are resolved using a technique called Entity Chunking Technique to determine the expressed sentiment and hence tries to enhance the accuracy of determining opinions
Effect of Mobility and Different Data Traffic in Wireless Ad-hoc Network through QualNet

-Wireless Ad Hoc Network is collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized network. An Ad-hoc network does not have any centralized arbitrator or server. Routing is process of selecting path in a network along which to send data packets. In this paper effect of different Mobility models and Data traffic are comparatively discussed on the basis of different routing protocols AODV, OLSR and ZRP. The performance of these routing protocols is analyzed by three metrics i.e. End to end delay, Jitter and Through-put. We have studied the effect, of mobility models on the performances (End to end delay, through-put and Jitter) of routing protocols AODV, OLSR, and ZRP by using in the first the CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and secondly a multiservice VBR (Variable Bit Rate) traffic. Random Waypoint Mobility model (RWP) and Group Mobility Model has been used. Simulations are performed using QualNet 6.1 version Simulator from Scalable Networks.
