title: Comparison of autonomous and manual recording methods for discrimination of individually distinctive Ovenbird songs

description: Many animals produce individually distinctive vocalizations with increased outputs during the breeding season. Many animals, including birds, can recognize other individuals based on the distinctive features of their songs and researchers can use bioacoustics tools to discriminate among individuals. Typically, bioacoustics analyses use recordings made with highly directional microphones that are free of background noise and spectral overlap. However, recent technological advances in automated recording have made it possible to record remotely and cover larger areas simultaneously. We tested whether spectrogram cross-correlation can be used to discriminate among songs of 19 individual Ovenbirds (<i>Seiurus aurocapillus</i>). We used two microphone types: directional (Sennheiser MKH-70) and omnidirectional (SMX-II) microphones. Because birds may vary in their distance from the SMX-II microphones, songs were selected as either high-quality (close to the recorder) or low-quality (further away from the recorder). We found that all recording types could be used to discriminate the songs of individual male Ovenbirds from other males in the population. Discrimination among directional recordings was significantly better than among omnidirectional recordings, and high-quality recordings could be used to discriminate among individuals significantly better than low-quality recordings. Taken together, our results suggest that automated omnidirectional recording could be valuable for future behavioural research allowing individuals to be followed over an entire breeding season. In addition, acoustic surveys of communities could provide information about abundance as well as presence and/or absence of species.

title: Simulating predator attacks on schools: evolving composite tactics

description: One hypothesis about the origins and evolution of coordinated animal movements is that they may serve as a defensive mechanism against predation. Earlier studies of the possible evolution of coordinated movement in prey concentrated on predators with simple attack tactics. Numerous studies, however, suggest that to overcome the apparent defensive mechanisms which grouping and coordinated movement may provide to prey, predators in nature appear to use elaborate target selection and pursuit/hunting tactics. We here study predators that use composite tactics, (a) predators that in successive attacks based on probability choose one of several simple attack tactics, (b) predators that first disperse prey and then pick off isolated individuals. We develop an individual based model of a group of prey that is attacked by a solitary predator agent. By using genetic algorithms, we enable the predator agent to adapt (a) the probability that a specific tactic will be selected in the next attack, (b) the distance at which it stops dispersing the prey and the radius within which it searches for the most isolated prey. With a direct competition of the evolved predator agents we examine which is the better tactic against a group of prey moving in a polarized cohesive manner in three different settings. Our results suggest that, (a) a delayed response is an efficient advanced prey defence tactic, (b) predator confusion plays an important role in the evolution of composite tactics, and (c) when confusion is at play, the dispersing predator is a much better hunter, capable of at least partially diminishing the effectiveness of the prey’s delayed response.

title: LOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION TECHNIQUE USING SUBSTITUTION-TRANSPOSITION WITH BASIC ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC OPERATION

description: In this age of universal electronics connectivity, of viruses and hackers, of electronic eavesdropping and electronic fraud, there is indeed no time at which security does not matter. The explosive growth in computer systems and their interconnections via network has increased the dependence of both organizations and individuals on the information stored and communicated using these systems. This, in turn, has led to a heightened awareness of the need to protect data and resources from disclosure, to guarantee the authenticity of data and messages, and to protect systems from network-based attacks. The disciplines of cryptography and network security have matured, leading to the development of practical, readily available applications to enforce network security. In this paper we have proposed a cipher which uses basic encryption techniques of substitution and transposition along with application of logic gates, in order to encrypt the data.

title: MINORITY RIGHTS AT NATIONAL LEVEL

description: India is among the most diverse societies in the world. It has people from all the major religions in the world—Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Zoroastrians (Parsis). When India gained independence in1947, the political leadership and the framers of the constitution took note of this diversity, and they deliberated on a framework that would provide for a unified but culturally diverse state. The issue of minorities has become an important part of political discourse since the emergence of nation states and the prevalence of the concept of popular sovereignty. The rise of nationalism has given rise to the concept that the political boundaries of a nation should conform to the national characteristics of the people<br>living within them.

title: Biochemical analysis of ‘kerosene tree’ <i>Hymenaea courbaril</i> L. under heat stress

description: <i>Hymenaea courbaril</i> or jatoba is a tropical tree known for its medically important secondary metabolites production. Considering climate change, the goal of this study was to investigate differential expression of proteins and lipids produced by this tree under heat stress conditions. Total lipid was extracted from heat stressed plant leaves and various sesquiterpenes produced by the tree under heat stress were identified. Gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis were used to study lipid and volatile compounds produced by the plant. Several volatiles, isoprene, 2-methyl butanenitrile, β ocimene and a numbers of sesquiterpenes differentially produced by the plant under heat stress were identified. We propose these compounds were produced by the tree to cope up with heat stress. A protein gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) was performed to study differential expression of proteins in heat stressed plants. Several proteins were found to be expressed many folds different in heat stressed plants compared to the control. These proteins included heat shock proteins, histone proteins, oxygen evolving complex, and photosynthetic proteins, which, we believe, played key roles in imparting thermotolerance in Hymenaea tree. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of extensive molecular physiological study of Hymenaea trees under heat stress. This work will open avenues of further research on effects of heat stress in Hymenaea and the findings can be applied to understand how global warming can affect physiology of other plants.

title: Regulation of MAP kinase signaling cascade by microRNAs in <i>Oryza sativa</i>

description: Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is one of the most conserved signaling cascade in plants regulating a plethora of cellular processes including normal growth and development, abiotic and biotic stress responses. The perception of external cues triggers the phosphorylation of three tier MAPKKK-MAPKK-MAPK cascade which finally modifies a downstream substrate thereby regulating the cellular processes. Whereas, the transcription regulation by MAPKs, mediated through their substrates is well studied in plants, the transcription and post-transcriptional regulation of the MAPK genes are poorly understood. Previous studies from the animals systems suggested the miRNAs regulate the post-transcriptional regulation of MAPK transcripts. Here we attempt to unravel the post-transcriptional regulation of MAPKs by miRNAs in model crop plant <i>Oryza sativa</i>. Using <i>in silico</i> tools, we predict the miRNAs for 98 out of 99 MAPK transcripts. The predicted miRNAs were validated for the biological relevance of their function. The inverse correlation between relative transcript levels between the MAPKs and their predicted miRNAs validated the <i>in silico</i> prediction. Taken together, this report demonstrates the significance of miRNAs in regulation of the MAPK pathway in plants with a new direction to study the plant signaling molecules.
