Some of the Prize-Winning Books in the Field of Tamil Development - An Overview

Tamil Nadu Government has established a separate department for the development of Tamil language in order to realize the dream of Bharathidasan to take Tamil language everywhere. Through it, the works of writers are selected and prizes are announced to the best creators for their works. Thus, the Tamil language is developing. It is also an organization to encourage creators. Few quality Tamil books are published. One or two of them are nominated for the prize. Some writers, according to their capability they have written the books but do not publish. To change this situation, this article aims to reduce the gap between authors and readers by bringing the excellence of prize-winning Tamil books and the creative activities of the Tamil development department to the reader

Women Empowerment Through Education

Education does not mean possessing number of qualification. It means to empower a person. It prepares the individual to live harmony in the society.  Education is the fundamental right for everyone irrespective gender, caste and creed. Women play a variety of role in humans life as a daughter, as a sister, as a wife, as a mother, as a friend, as a grandmother etc., everywhere her role is so important. They are playing each role extraordinarily. But people are ill treated them. Education can improve the status of women. Proper education gives power and earn respect from others. It gives strength, boldness and assertiveness to them. It helps to protest against the problem they faced from others. Education is essential for every women whether they go for a job or homemaker. Education gives the ability to get employment and employment removes the dependency over men. It enhances confidence and courage of women. We should tell the stories of the famous contemporary women personalities like Kalpana Chawla, Sunitha Williams, Indira Nooyi, Nirmala Seetharaman, etc. to the younger generation and make them realise the value of education and through this education alone they achieved highest positions in their life. Dependency on Education gives independent to women in all aspects. In this paper, we discuss about how women can be empower through education

ENHANCED BIO-INSPIRED ALGORITHM FOR CONSTRUCTING PHYLOGENETIC TREE

This paper illustrates an enhanced algorithm based on one of the swarm intelligence techniques for constructing the Phylogenetic tree (PT), which is used to study the relationship between species. The main scheme is to formulate a PT, an NP- complete problem through an evolutionary algorithm called Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). The tradeoff between the accuracy and the computational time taken for constructing the tree makes way for new variants of algorithms. A new variant of ABC algorithm is proposed to promote the convergence rate of general ABC algorithm through recommending a new formula for searching solution. In addition, a searching step has been included so that it constructs the tree faster with a nearly optimal solution. Experimental results are compared with the ABC algorithm, Genetic Algorithm and the state-of-the-art techniques like unweighted pair group method using arithmetic mean, Neighbour-joining and Relaxed Neighbor Joining. For results discussion, we used one of the standard dataset Treesilla. The results show that the Enhanced ABC (EABC) algorithm converges faster than others. The claim is supported by a distance metric called the Robinson-Foulds distance that finds the dissimilarity of the PT, constructed by different algorithms

On Solving Multi-Attribute Decision Making Problem Using AHP

Multi-attribute Decision Making (MADM) is concerned with the elucidation of the levels of preference of decision alternatives, through judgments made over a number of criteria. Many complex MADM problems are characterized with both quantitative and qualitative-of preference of decision alternatives, through judgments made over a number of criteria. Many complex MADM problems are characterized with both quantitative and qualitative-attributes. In selection of its suppliers, an organization needs to take into account such attributes as quality, technical capability, supply chain management, financial soundness, environmental and so on. Many smart technologies are used in modern cities to improve society's well-being in many ways. The proposed research focuses on communication methods for data applications. Our main goal for this paper is to use little energy as possible while delivering as much data as possible by using multi-attribute decision-making

Unlocking the Future: DNA Encryption for Secure and Efficient Massive Data Storage : Unlocking the Future: DNA Encryption for Secure and Efficient Massive Data Storage

DNA has emerged as a promising medium for digital data storage because of its high density, longevity, as well as energy efficiency. However, the security provided by  DNA storage systems remains a concern, particularly as the technology is adopted for sensitive data applications. DNA encryption offers a potential solution to this problem by encoding the stored data in a secure and reversible manner. In this paper, a new DNA encryption for storage applications by editing or creating a new DNA sequence to store big data for archival purposes in an encrypted format to provide security, is proposed. It is concluded that DNA encryption is a promising approach for securing digital data in DNA storage systems, and there is requirement for further research to optimize the performance and reliability of this technology

Efficacy of Kumkum as a Surrogate for Eosin in Routine Histological Sections: An Observational Study

Introduction: Stains are a crucial component of laboratory procedure. They help in highlighting the different tissues, both normal and abnormal, which plays an important role in diagnostic histopathology. Synthetic dyes are utilised for majority of the stains in histology. Among the natural surrogates studied, Kumkum is less researched. Aim: To compare the staining characteristics of Kumkum, which imparts red colour as an alternative to eosin. Materials and Methods: This observational study was conducted at Histopathology section, Pathology department at Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute for a period of six months from January 2022 to June 2022. In 50 tissue blocks, each was made into two sections and one was stained with routine Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), while the other was stained with Haematoxylin and Kumkum solution (H&K). The Cellular Architecture (CA) (based on distinct or indistinct nucleus, cytoplasm) and quality of staining (poor, satisfactory or good) of H&E and H&K solution was compared and a scoring system was given. The scores were analysed with Chi-square test using SPSS software (version 25). Results: Out of 100 slides, 45 (90%) stained with H&E and 48 (96%) with H&K showed distinct CA. A total of 47 slides (94%) stained with H&K and 41 (82%) with H&E showed good quality of staining. Conclusion: Kumkum solution appears to be an efficient counterstain in place of eosin in highlighting the normal structures in histopathological sections. It highlighted the RBCs in the arteries and cytoplasm of the cells in glandular and squamous epithelium better than or equally good as eosin

Preparation and characterization of biocompatible carbon electrodes

Electron transfer in microbial fuel cell and biosensors could be facilitated through high conductive materials with enhanced active surface area and appropriate redox potential suited to microbial metabolism. In the first strategy based on bulk doping, graphite/epoxy composite electrode (GECE) bulk was modified with six types of metal ion which were prepared through a wet impregnation procedure. In the second strategy, immobilization of redox dye on carbon cloth and graphite sheet was carried out using N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide for surface modification. Crystallinity, morphology, surface chemistry and electrochemical properties of all modified electrodes were investigated. Influence of redox behavior of electrodes suited to microbial metabolism and conducive to biofilm formation have been examined. It was observed that the Fe³⁺ doped GECE surfaces exhibited significantly high biofilm formation of 1.10(±0.18) × 10⁷ CFU/cm² as compared to other dopants. The microbial growth on the carbon cloth electrode and carbon fiber reinforced plate were found to be less (2.6(±0.97) × 10⁴, 4.8(±1.8) × 10³ CFU/cm² respectively) compared to GECEs
