Asana (Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb.) - A Drug Review

Asana (Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb.) commonly known as Honne Mara in Kannada, Bijasal in Hindi, Indian kino or Malabar kino in English, belongs to the family Fabaceae and it is widely distributed among several regions of India. It is one of the important medicinal plant of Indian traditional system of medicines and it has been used in India for several medicinal purposes. The Indian Kino is a medium to large; deciduous tree having chemical constituents like pterostilbene, (-)-epicatechin, pterosupin, marsupsin, etc. Asana have the pharmacological activity like antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, etc

Implementation Of Anonymous Vehicle Reporting And Communication System For Wrongly Parked Vehicle

Improper parking can cause several issues and problems, including Reduced Accessibility, Inconvenience for Other Drivers, Public Transportation Disruption, Environmental and Aesthetic Concerns, Public Perception, and Traffic Congestion. Addressing these issues typically calls for a combination of traffic management, public awareness campaigns, law enforcement, smart urban design, and community involvement to preserve the successful and safe usage of public spaces

CoCo the Cool Robot Cat - (Home Safety Robot using AI, IoT, and DL).

<p><strong>This paper focuses on the development of a mobile robot cat, named Coco, which serves multiple purposes such as assisting visually impaired individuals, monitoring children while they study, detecting suspicious human activities in living areas, acting as a home security system, and functioning as a pet robot. The robot cat has five subsystems: an Artificial Intelligence (AI) voice assistant, a human activity monitoring system, a live video stream, an obstacle detection system, and a smart sensor module with alert notifications. The first subsystem is responsible for processing voice inputs with an AI voice assistant, which decodes and understands the input before generating voice outputs. This subsystem was implemented using the Python programming language on Raspbian OS. The second subsystem was developed using Keras and TensorFlow and is responsible for monitoring human activities and alerting the user via email if any suspicious activity is detected. The third subsystem streams live video over a network using OpenCV. The fourth subsystem uses backpropagation and forward propagation to control the motion of the robot cat. Finally, the fifth subsystem uses five types of sensors - the PIR sensor, MQ2 sensor, temperature sensor, voltage sensor, and LDR sensor - to detect motion, smoke and toxic gasses, temperature, and light. To implement these subsystems, a combination of Raspbian OS and Nodemcu (Arduino IDE) environment was used.</strong></p&gt

IMAGE SEGMENTATION TECHNIQUES IN MEDICAL ANALYSIS “A BOON FOR DETECTION OF CANCER”: A REVIEW

mage processing and computer vision systems can enhance the diagnostic capability of physicians by reducing the time required and resulting in accurate diagnosis. This paper presents the review of resentpublished segmentation and classification techniques for detection of Brain Tumors using Magnetic Resonance Images, which is an open challenge in the field of medical science till date. We present the comparative study of a couple of algorithms based on the technique of segmentation, extraction and classification of the images. Initially we start with segmentation based on localindependent projection-based classification, followed by segmentation using adaptive clustering and Level set method comparing these with the result of computer-aided detection /diagnosis involving the process of pulsed coupled neural network for image segmentation, followed by discrete wavelet transforms for feature extraction and feed forward back propagation neural network for classificatio

Synthesis of triazolylmethyl-linked nucleoside analogs via combination of azidofuranoses with propargylated nucleobases and study on their cytotoxicity

KARAYILDIRIM, Tamer/0000-0001-7451-0810; HALAY, Erkan/0000-0002-0084-7709WOS: 000429350900009Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions (CuAAC) between azidofuranoses and propargyl-nucleobases were carried out in the presence of CuSO4 center dot 5H(2)O and sodium ascorbate as catalytic system to provide the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole-bridged nucleoside analogs in good yields. Twelve new sugar-based triazolylmethyl-linked nucleoside analogs were synthesized and screened for their cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231, Hep3B, PC-3, SH-SY5Y, and HCT-116 cancer cell lines and control cell line (L929). Most of the compounds were moderately effective against all the cancer cell lines assayed. Particularly, among the tested compounds, 1,2,3-triazole-linked 5-fluorouracil-mannofuranose hybrid was found to be the most potent cytotoxic agent against HCT-116, Hep3B, SH-SY5Y cells with IC50 values of 35.6, 71.1, and 75.6 mu M, respectively. None of the triazolylmethyl-linked nucleoside analogs exhibited cytotoxic effect against the control cells L929.TUBITAK-Research Council of Turkey [114Z757]; TUBITAK-BIDEBTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [2211A]This work was supported by TUBITAK-Research Council of Turkey with the project number 114Z757.
