A review on GPRS Applications

Files are scattered over multiple machines. In case if user forgets to take file in pen drive or email the file, user is left with no other option. But calling home or respecting location and explaining the person to navigate through the directory and mail the file. Now if the person is not computer educated or does not know how to operate the computer and internet then the situation become more difficult. In this case the user may face many issues as he might not get the required file. To overcome this problem many developers have come up with the mobile application which will remotely connect to your desktop and transfer the file. Now a days loss of contacts has become a major issue. So this app also gives the facility of automatic contact update,even if user doesn’t have any Gmail or any otheraccount on website.In this project we make an application which can search the desktop computer file using SMS as well as automatically update user’s contact

Effect of the Histone Methyltransferase Specific Probe BRD4770 on Metabolic Profiling of the Endophytic Fungus Diaporthe longicolla

The endophytic fungus Diaporthe longicolla was isolated from the stem of Saraca asoca (Roxb.) Willd., commonly known as Ashok plant in India and Sri Lanka. Since no reports are available regarding epigenetic modulations by BRD4770 in microbial entities, D. longicolla was treated with different concentrations of BRD4770 for this purpose and evaluated for its antioxidant and antibacterial potential against five human pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Shigella boydii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. The crude extract obtained from cultures treated with 100 nM concentration of BRD4770 showed increased antioxidant activity and inhibition zone against S. aureus and MRSA, compared to the non-treated control. The composition of the non-treated and treated crude extract was analyzed, and induced compounds were identified with the help of Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and LC-ESI-MS/MS. LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis showed that berberine (antibacterial)-, caffeine-, and theobromine (antioxidant)-like compounds were induced in the BRD4770-treated crude extract. The presence of particular absorbance at a wavelength of 346.5 nm for berberine, 259.4 nm for caffeine, and 278.4 nm for theobromine in the reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of both BRD4770-treated crude metabolites and standard solution of the above compounds strongly supported the increased antibacterial and antioxidant activities that may be due to inducing the alterations in bioactivities of the BRD4770-treated culture

The State of Housing, Drinking Water, Electricity, and Sanitation Facilities of Scheduled Tribes in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India

Façade design, drinking water, electricity, and sanitation are critical basic human needs for a decent life in the modern period. The development and implementation of these regulations are necessary for socioeconomic advancement and protect tribes, particularly women, from significant public health, environmental, and security issues. Despite the government’s intentions to address their backward status through special constitutional provisions, tribes in eastern Uttar Pradesh remain severely underserved regarding these services. The design of facades has a favorable impact on the lives of socioeconomically deprived citizens of developing countries like India. The present chapter examines the façade design, drinking water, electricity, and sanitation services provided to Scheduled Tribes in the eastern Upper Peninsula and potential improvement initiatives. Facade design impacts the types of businesses that thrive in a given location. The majority of scheduled tribes rely on the informal economy for a living. The majority of ST families (43.9%) still live in jhuggis, only 27.12% have both tap water supplies and electricity, the majority (92.15%) use hand pumps for drinking water outside the home, 77.4% of STs do not have latrine facilities inside the premises, and the surrounding sanitation is inadequate. Although government is taking steps for piped water supply, ST families are still deprived of this facility due to the scattered nature of remotely placed kaccha houses and lack of proper attention from responsible authorities

Extraction Optimization of Water-Extracted Mycelial Polysaccharide from Endophytic Fungus Fusarium oxysporum Dzf17 by Response Surface Methodology

Water-extracted mycelial polysaccharide (WPS) from the endophytic fungus Fusarium oxysporum Dzf17 isolated from Dioscorea zingiberensis was found to be an efficient elicitor to enhance diosgenin accumulation in D. zingigerensis cultures, and also demonstrated antioxidant activity. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the extraction process of WPS from F. oxysporum Dzf17 using Box-Behnken design (BBD). The ranges of the factors investigated were 1–3 h for extraction time (X1), 80–100 °C for extraction temperature (X2), and 20–40 (v/w) for ratio of water volume (mL) to raw material weight (g) (X3). The experimental data obtained were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation using multiple regression analysis. Statistical analysis showed that the polynomial regression model was in good agreement with the experimental results with the determination coefficient (R2) of 0.9978. By solving the regression equation and analyzing the response surface contour plots, the extraction parameters were optimized as 1.7 h for extraction time, 95 °C for extraction temperature, 39 (v/w) for ratio of water volume (mL) to raw material weight (g), and with 2 extractions. The maximum value (10.862%) of WPS yield was obtained when the WPS extraction process was conducted under the optimal conditions

Draft genome assembly of Fusarium marasasianum Introduction Many plants are thought to have at least one Fusarium-associated disease with more than 80% of economically important plants affected by at least one Fusarium disease (Leslie and Summerell 2006). The socioeconomic importance of Fusarium is particularly evident when considering the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC, sensu Geiser et al. 2021). This monophyletic group contains 65 species and numerous cryptic species (Yilmaz et al. 2021). More than 50 species in the FFSC have publicly available genomes (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), indicative of their economic importance. A number of recent studies showed that the FFSC complex contains four large clades (Herron et al. 2015; Sandoval-Denis et al. 2018; Yilmaz et al. 2021). One of these corresponds to the so-called “American” clade that was initially proposed to reflect the biogeography of the species it contains (O’Donnell et al. 1998). For example, Fusarium circinatum, the pine pitch canker pathogen, is thought to be native to Mexico and Central America (Drenkhan et al. 2020), where it likely co-evolved with its Pinus hosts (Herron et al. 2015; O’Donnell et al. 1998; Wikler and Gordon 2000). The American clade also includes five additional species associated with Pinus species in Colombia. These species are F. fracticaudum, F. pininemorale, F. parvisorum, F. marasasianum, and F. sororula, of which F. parvisorum, F. marasasianum, and F. sororula displayed levels of pathogenicity that were comparable to those of F. circinatum on susceptible Pinus species (Herron et al. 2015). The risk that the various American clade species pose to forestry in Colombia and globally has provided the impetus for projects aiming to sequence their genomes. To complement the genomic resources available for F. circinatum (Fulton et al. 2020; van der Nest et al. 2014a; Van Wyk et al. 2018; Wingfield et al. 2012, 2018a), the genomes of F. pininemorale (Wingfield et al. 2017), F. fracticaudum (Wingfield et al. 2018b) and F. sororula (van der Nest et al. 2021) have been published. Here we present the whole genome sequence for the pine pathogen F. marasasianum, named after the late South African professor Walter “Wally” F.O. Marasas (Wingfield and Crous 2012) who specialised in the taxonomy of Fusarium species and their associated mycotoxins

Endophytic and epiphytic phyllosphere fungal communities are shaped by different environmental factors in a mediterranean ecosystem

The online version of this article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00248-018-1161-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.The diversity and factors influencing fimgal assemblages in phyllosphere of Mediterranean tree species have been barely studied, especially when endophytic and epiphytic communities are simultaneously considered. In this work, the endophytic and epiphytic fungal communities from olive tree phyllosphere were studied. This tree species is natural from the Mediterranean region and adapted to grow under adverse climatic conditions. The main objectives were to determine whether there are differences between both fungal communities and to examine whether different abiotic (climate-related) and biotic (plant organs) factors play a pivotal role in structuring these communities. Both communities differed in size and composition, with epiphytic community being richer and more abundant, displaying also a dominance of melanized fungi. Season was the major driver of community composition, especially of epiphytes. Other drivers shaping epiphytes were wind speed and temperature, while plant organ, rainfall, and temperature were the major drivers for endophytic composition. In contrast, canopy orientation caused slight variations in community composition of fungi, but with distinct effects in spring and autumn seasons. In conclusion, epiphytic and endophytic communities are not driven by the same factors. Several sources of variation undergo complex interactions to form and maintain phyllosphere fungal community in Mediterranean climates. Climatic parameters have influence on these fungal communities, suggesting that they are likely to be affected by climate changes in a near future.This work is funded by FEDER funds through COMPETE (Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade) and by national funds by FCT (Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia) within the framework of the project EXCL/AGR-PRO/0591/2012.

Business analytics in industry 4.0: a systematic review

Recently, the term “Industry 4.0” has emerged to characterize several Information Technology and Communication (ICT) adoptions in production processes (e.g., Internet-of-Things, implementation of digital production support information technologies). Business Analytics is often used within the Industry 4.0, thus incorporating its data intelligence (e.g., statistical analysis, predictive modelling, optimization) expert system component. In this paper, we perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the usage of Business Analytics within the Industry 4.0 concept, covering a selection of 169 papers obtained from six major scientific publication sources from 2010 to March 2020. The selected papers were first classified in three major types, namely, Practical Application, Reviews and Framework Proposal. Then, we analysed with more detail the practical application studies which were further divided into three main categories of the Gartner analytical maturity model, Descriptive Analytics, Predictive Analytics and Prescriptive Analytics. In particular, we characterized the distinct analytics studies in terms of the industry application and data context used, impact (in terms of their Technology Readiness Level) and selected data modelling method. Our SLR analysis provides a mapping of how data-based Industry 4.0 expert systems are currently used, disclosing also research gaps and future research opportunities.The work of P.
