BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF METAL NANOPARTICLES: A REVIEW

Nanotechnology has prompted new and improved materials for biomedical applications with particular emphasis in therapy and diagnostics. Special interest has been directed at providing enhanced molecular therapeutics for cancer, where conventional approaches do not effectively differentiate between cancerous and normal cells; that is, they lack specificity. This normally causes systemic toxicity and severe and adverse side effects with concomitant loss of quality of life. Because of their small size, nanoparticles can readily interact with biomolecules both at surface and inside cells, yielding better signals and target specificity for diagnostics and therapeutics. Noble metal nanoparticles show unique physicochemical properties (such as ease of functionalization via simple chemistry and high surface-to-volume ratios) that allied with their unique spectral and optical properties have prompted the development of a plethora of biosensing platforms. Additionally, they also provide an additional or enhanced layer of application for commonly used techniques, such as fluorescence, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Herein we review the use of noble metal nanoparticles for labeling, delivering, sensing, imaging and as anti
COMPARATIVE STUDY ON TENSILE PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT COLOUR MORPHS AND WILD COUNTERPART OF MUGA SILKWORM (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) OF NORTH EASTERN INDIA

Muga silkworm (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) exhibits some distinct colour polymorphisms of the larva i.e. green, blue and orange, the green variety being the commonly reared one. Wild counterpart of these varieties of muga silkworm is also scarcely available in some of the distinct parts of Assam and other North East States. Comparison based on the tensile parameters possessed by the silks produced by all these polymorphic forms of muga silkworm revealed some of the distinguishing differences among these. The green and orange colour-morphs revealed higher tensile properties than the others. The blue colour-morph and the wild showed least tenacity and percentage strain though they showed good result in case of the Young‟s modulus. The wild counterpart exhibited comparatively better tensile properties than the blue colourmorph. These differences in tensile properties will help in studying and correlating other physical and chemical parameters possessed by these. © 2013 Universal Research Publications.

Hybrid Job Scheduling Mechanism Using a Backfill-based Multi-queue Strategy in Distributed Grid Computing

Summary In a distributed computing environment, effective job scheduling is a critical challenge. In this paper, a hybrid job scheduling mechanism is proposed that considers both the meta-scheduling scheme for distributing jobs to overall nodes a n d the local job scheduling scheme for assigning jobs within a local node at a simultaneous time. Depending on the number of required processors and the expected execution time of jobs, the order of priorities is established. Jobs with high priority are then allocated to a job queue whereas those with low priority are assigned to a backfill queue with remote jobs that are sent from other nodes. Experiments conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism show that the utilization of a grid computing system becomes more efficient and waiting times are considerably reduced.
Conservation Service SCS methodology equations. While the attenuation caused by depressions was simulated through applying Outflow structures routing by presenting the depression as a reservoir and its outlet as long-crested spillway. Reservoir within HEC-HMS are not simulated to receive precipitati

Depression is a storage volume that could be filled prior to runoff. It might be used as a rectification parameter to adjust runoff volumes and peak discharges. GIS tools are used to extract depressions and calculate their characteristics (volume – area) and to pick the corresponding catchments and estimate their characteristics from DEM. In this work, HEC-HMS is used as a step to calculate runoff using three approaches to assess the impact of presence of depressions on runoff from three points of view; outlet location, runoff volume and peak discharge downstream the depression. First approach neglects the presence of depression. Second approach accounts depression in study but assuming one outlet with width equal to one cell size and lastly the third approach is as same as second approach but multi outlets are used with different widths and levels. The last approach gives more realistic value for runoff volume and peak discharge as it accounts volume of water stored in depression and represents the outflow from depression in an accurate way. Index Terms — GIS, Depression, HEC-HMS, Routing, Runoff.
Smartphone Accessibility Application for Visually Impaired

-With the outburst of smart-phones today, the market is exploding with various mobile applications. These smart phones help the people by providing easy access to information and providing many basic functionalities to them . The sighted people can use such smart phones easily but due to the inability to read information on the screens, blind people face tremendous difficulties in using the smart phones. Despite growing awareness of the accessibility issues for blind people, designers still face challenges when creating accessible interfaces. One major stumbling block is a lack of understanding about how they actually use touch screens. Many studies have been conducted to compare how blind people and sighted people use touch screen gestures. In this paper we propose “New Vision”, an application to make calling and messaging simpler for the visually challenged. Using NEW VISION, calls and messages can be made to pre-saved contacts using pattern recognition and the position of user can be retrieved using Global Positioning System technology. Moreover, we present a text-to-speech interface and output through Vibrations to ease the usage of smart phones for the blind user. Using the various functionalities of any basic mobile phone like calling, messaging, knowing the time, battery level etc. are made easy for the visually challenged user.

Superposition Coding Scheme for Subcarrier & Bit Allocation in OFDM System

: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) refers to aradio transmission technique based on dividing the frequency channelinto narrowband sub-channels. In this dissertation studied that margin adaptive - superposition coding (MA-SC) algorithm and rate adaptive - superposition coding (RA-SC) algorithm, where at most two users can share each subcarrier as compared to MA and RA algorithm, where each subcarrier is shared by only single user without SC scheme. Then apply SC scheme over MA and RA to achieve maximum system throughput with separate power constraint for real and non-real time users, ensuring that QoS requirement for real time and proportional fairness among non-real time users is satisfied. The overall computational complexity of RA-SC algorithm is same as RA algorithm. In MA-SC, complexity increases in some of the steps due to addition of SC scheme over MA algorithm, but overall complexity remains the same. Matlab simulations are being carried out to show that the performance of algorithm in terms of power required and throughput.

Enhanced energy harvesting and analysis of a High Concentration Photovoltaic / Thermal System with support of Cooling fluid and Increased Mass Flow Rates

Abstract— In this paper a high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) system is considered. A parabolic dish collector focuses the incident energy on to a triple junction solar system. High concentration ratios ranging from 10 x to 1000x increases the cell temperature, resulting in a decrease in electrical efficiency. Thermal analysis of a water based cooling system is modeled to enhance the electrical efficiency and also to study the thermal efficiency of such HCPV system. It is to be noted that with an increase in mass flow rate of water, the electrical efficiency increases and the thermal efficiency decreases. Finally, a comparison of efficiencies with and without cooling are presented. KeywordThermal analysis, Concentration photovoltaics, Cooling, Energy enhancement

CoMPosItIon and funCtIon of tHe eCM and tHe Role of MyofIbRoblasts In tHe MyoCaRdIuM

The present article focuses on the pathophysiology of myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in chronic heart failure (CHF). The trigger mechanisms for ECM remodelling include acute loss of contractile elements as a consequence of myocardial ischaemia, mechanical tension, oxidative stress and neurohumoral activation. The ECM phenotype changes as a result of the expression of fetal remodelling genes with the aim of accomplishing reparatory changes. This leads to a change in the composition of the ECM, rearrangement of the existing structures and an alteration of the proportion of individual components. While the ECM represents the target structure, at the same time, individual ECM components participate to various degrees directly in myocardial remodelling as modulators of a number of signalling pathways. Matricellular proteins are expressed in reaction to pathological stimuli. These have no structural function but modulate interactions between ECM components, nonmyocyte cells and cardiomyocytes. The principal consequence of ECM remodelling is an increase in the fibrous tissue content of the heart. Pharmacological intervention affecting the process of ECM remodelling could improve the prognosis of patients with CHF.
Accessibility and Connectivity as the Key Factors of the Macro-space in Built Environment

This article continues a series of publications on Cognitive Urbanism. The research aimed at studying and classification of the built environment as an object of design. We must go beyond space-making to the making of places. The cognitive approach naturally leads us to the idea of the cultural landscape and the study of the traditions and rituals of everyday life. The essence of the study relates to the so-called "environmental behavior" that is all types of social activity and interactions with the built environment. We suggest that the spatial structure of Macro-space can be analyzed through the two key factors: the accessibility and connectivity of place. Accessibility can be measured by the time one needs to reach the center of Macro-space and the Connectivity by the number of people that could be part of social life in the core area. Thus, Accessibility is an indicator of linear dimensions, physical boundaries and direction of links, and Connectivity is a derivative of the number of people, the density and the layout of settlement. Three Types of macro-spaces that are compared: The Enclave, The Region, and the District. The article provides a conceptual framework for the recommendations on urban planning and design based on Accessibility and Connectivity.
Security Threats and Defense Approaches in Wireless Sensor Networks: An Overview

In contrast of traditional network, wireless sensor networks are deployed in accessible areas, presenting a risk of physical attacks. Sensor networks interact closely with the physical environment because of these reasons current security approaches are inadequate in WSN . In order to facilitate applications that require packet delivery from one or multiple senders to one or multiple receivers must need proper security mechanism. Here we presented different types of security issues in WSN.
DISTRBUTED CACHE ARCHITECTURE FOR SCALABLE QUALIY OF SERVICS FOR DISRIBUTED NETWORKS

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSRACT : Performance degrades significantly in Mobile Ad hoc Networks due to the packet losses. Most of these packet losses result from the Route failures due to network mobility. TCP assumes such losses occur because of congestion, thus invokes congestion control mechanisms such as decreasing congestion windows, raising timeout, etc, thus greatly reduce TCP throughput. However, after a link failure is detected, several packets will be dropped from the network interface queue; TCP will time out because of these packet losses, as well as for Acknowledgment losses caused by route failures.
