    Society looks down upon the birth of transgenders due to genetic mutations. In her autobiography, Padmini says that transgenders should be aware of the mental barriers, dilemmas and physical problems within themselves, create clear good thinking and live with self-confidence. It should be clear that there is transgender just as the human race is male and female. Padmini Prakash's autobiography Nerupatril Neenthi Vandhen (I Swam in the Fire) tells us that we need to respect the spirit of transgenders who are born as one of us and want to live with us. The struggles of transgenders in the society and their names, their inhibitions in society now, the changes made by the social reform thinkers are recorded. Padmini proudly records the achievements of transgenders, social service, work session, making a mark for themselves and gaining their identity in life

    The Financial institution specially banking industry is one of the areas where many public, private & foreign banks are operating their businesses to different customers in every nuke of the country. This study is undertaking the customer service towards Tamilnadu Mercantile bank at Erode. Banking is considered to be nerve center of trade, commerce and business in a country .It plays a vital role in distributing the money for the development of trade, industry and commerce. Therefore we may say that banking is life blood of the modern commerce. A banker is not only dealers money but also leaders in economic development of a country. The fundamental aspects of banking i.e. trust and the confidence of the people on institution remain same. The majority of banks are still successful in keeping with the confidence of the customer even though the main problems of the customer are not well aware of the service provided by their bank. Financial institution specially banking industry is one of areas where many public, private & foreign banks are operating their businesses to different customers in every nuke of the country. In the process to attract customers these banks are providing highest level of service quality to satisfy the varying needs of today‘s customers, but service quality is not alone sufficient trust among the customers is another important factor which is a predictor of consumer service

    SCREENING OF CELLULOLYTIC BACTERIA FOR PRODUCING CELLULASE UNDER SOLID STATE FERMENTATION USING WATER HYACINTH AS A SUBSTRATE

    Objective: The infestation of water hyacinth in the aquatic system produces serious environmental problems. In our study, we have used the water hyacinth as a substrate for the production of cellulase enzyme from bacteria isolated from decayed water hyacinth.Methods: The bacterial isolates were morphologically and biochemically characterized and the bacterial cultures were identified as Proteus vulgaris and Serratia ficaria respectively. The effect of various process parameters such as pH, temperature, substrate concentration and fermentation time on cellulase production by Proteus vulgaris were optimized.Results: Out of twenty five isolates, two bacteria viz. AK1 and AK2 grew well on CMC agar media. Cellulase enzyme activity was found to be higher (4.07 U/ml) in case of Proteus vulgaris compared to Serratia ficaria. Cellulase production by Proteus vulgaris was optimized as pH 7, 35 °C temperature, 30% of water hyacinth and 24 h of incubation time. Cellulase produced under optimum condition was purified using dialysis and ion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight and specific activity of completely purified cellulase was found to be 33 KDa and 361.25 U/mg respectively.Conclusion: It can be concluded that the water hyacinth can be used as a potential substrate for production of cellulase by Proteus vulgaris which is isolated from decayed water hyacinth

    Appearance / Disappearance of Magic Number in Light Nuclei

    Get PDF
    The shell structure of a nucleus is important to study their observed characteristic features. The classic magic numbers are successful in explaining the nuclear properties for nuclei lying near the stability line. The advent of radioactive ion beam facilities has permitted to examine nuclei in their extreme proton to neutron ratio. The light exotic nuclei were found to exhibit unique shell closure behaviour which is different from the medium mass nuclei near the stability line. The two nucleon separation energy difference systematics was used as a probe to study the magic character of light nuclei. New proton and neutron magic numbers were predicted among the available even Z isotopes and even N isotones. For certain systems, the classic magic numbers were found to be non-magic, while for some systems the magic property is retained even at the drip lines. The shell closure behaviour predicted is found to depend on the version of the mass table

    T-dependent RMF Model Applied to Ternary Fission Studies

    Get PDF
    Ternary decay is comparatively a rare phenomenon. The yield distribution for the thermal neutroninduced fission of 236U was investigated within the Temperature-dependent Relativistic Mean Field (TRMF) approach and statistical theory. Binding energy obtained from TRMF for the ground state and at a specific temperature is used to evaluate the fragment excitation energy, which is needed to calculate the nuclear level density. Using the ternary convolution, the yield for α-accompanied fission of 236U* is calculated. Initial results are presented which shows a maximum yield for the fragment pair Tc + Ag +α. Further, the ternary pre-existence probability for the spontaneous fission of 236U was studied considering fixed third fragments of α,10Be and 14C using the area of the overlapping region. No significant change in the yield distribution was observed when fragment deformations are considered. However, the heavy group for the probable pair remains as 132Sn with a change in mass number of the lighter fragment.

    Get PDF
    Digital transformation development triggers the boom of Fintech (financial technology) initiatives, which are recognized as some of the most important innovations in the financial industry. Fintech refers to the novel processes and products that become available for financial services thanks to digital technological advancements. Fintech is very rapidly growing in financial markets and effective impact on banks and financial institutions. This digital transformation allows the users to access their financial requirements wherever they are rather than physically going to the bank. The functions of banking sectors are reduced from complicated to more simplified manner through the innovative products in fintech. This development empowers the customers to take their financial decisions and allows them to get higher financial literacy than ever before. After covid, the impact is far more visible in the rural areas also. Most of the paper works digitalized and data regarding the customers are secured in a very protective manner

    The effectiveness of antibiotics against a major uropathogen- Escherichia coli and its biofilm assay by phenotypic methods

    Get PDF
    Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI), an inflammatory disease occurs to a high multiplication of pathogenic microbes in the urinary system. Escherichia coli, a major uropathogen accounting for up to 80% UTI. Activity of antibiotics against E.coli is decreasing due to enzymatic, genetic and various other factors resulting in multidrug resistance. Biofilm is a great threat as it interferes antibiotic therapy, undergoes gene transformation, making the bacteria more virulent. Objectives of the study were to isolate the E. coli from the urine sample of symptomatic UTI patients, to study the effectiveness of antibiotics against E.coli by antibiotic susceptibility pattern, ESBL detection and to biofilm phenotype assay by four different methods.Methods: A total of 400 urine samples from symptomatic UTI patients, October 2015 to March 2016 and processed. E.coli was isolated and antibiotic susceptibility was done as per CLSI guidelines. Biofilm detection by a) Congo red agar (CRA), b) Modified Congo red agar (MCRA), c) Tube adherence assay, d) Microtitre plate method.Results: A total of 100 E. coli (69%) was obtained from 400 samples, 49% were ESBL producers and 84% shows multi drug resistant. Biofilm positive isolates shows 70% positivity by CRA, 91% by MCRA, 57% in tube adherence assay and 99% via microtitre plate method.Conclusions: Resistance to antibiotics ladder is increasing and it’s necessary to take actions to reduce its hindrance in the future. Advanced studies in biofilm will help to prevent the more virulence without any critical complications in therapy.
