A Novel Rescue System At Congested Traffic Cities

In this paper, I have presented to overcome major problems in modern urban areas which have caused much uncomfortable for the ambulance due to the traffic. Moreover road accidents in the city have been nonstop and to bar the loss of life due to the accidents is even more crucial. To implement this we introduce a scheme called AARS (Automatic ambulance rescue system). The main theme behind this scheme is to provide a smooth flow for the ambulance to reach the hospitals in time and thus minifying the expiration of many lives through the GSM, GPS and different sensors. The idea behind this scheme is to implement a ITS which would control mechanically the traffic lights in the path of the ambulance

Automated Student Result Analyzer

The faculty of various colleges are facing overhead analyzing the results of students. Excel sheets are being used for percentage calculation, counting the number of backlogs, listing students within a particular range of percentages given etc. There is an additional burden with the results of supplementary exams and revaluation results. The statistics of any student belonging to a particular batch might change frequently from 1st year to 4th year because he/she is allowed to write supplementary examinations twice a year. So frequent modifications is required manually. To overcome all these problems faced we try to automate all the calculations possibl

Bumper landings of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) by hooks and lines at Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour

Bumper landings of skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis was observed at Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour on 28th October 2011, wherein about 42 t were landed by hooks and line

Bumper landing of juveniles of black pomfret Parastromateus niger at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh

About 39.5 t of juvenile black pomfret, Parastromateus niger (Bloch, 1795), was landed (Fig. 1 and 2), by 46 ringseine units operated at 20 m depth, at Mangamaripeta and Lawsons Bay landing centers, which are about 15 km from Visakhapatnam, during 23rd - 26th May, 2012. Black pomfret is locally called as nalla chanduva in Andhra Pradesh. Fishery for the black pomfret starts from post-monsoon months and dominates the pomfret fishery with maximum landings during November-February

Leucism in seerfish Scomberomorus commerson, landed at Chintapalli, Andhra Pradesh

A narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus commerson (Lacepède, 1800), exhibiting leucism was landed at Chinatapalli Fishing Harbour, Vijayanagaram District on 24th January, 2014. The specimen was 130 cm long and weighed 16 kg. It was caught by hook and line operated from motorized craft at a distance of 11 km from shore at a depth of 32 m. The specimen was characterized by unnatural yellow colouration on the body

Flux-sum analysis: a metabolite-centric approach for understanding the metabolic network

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Constraint-based flux analysis of metabolic network model quantifies the reaction flux distribution to characterize the state of cellular metabolism. However, metabolites are key players in the metabolic network and the current reaction-centric approach may not account for the effect of metabolite perturbation on the cellular physiology due to the inherent limitation in model formulation. Thus, it would be practical to incorporate the metabolite states into the model for the analysis of the network.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Presented herein is a metabolite-centric approach of analyzing the metabolic network by including the turnover rate of metabolite, known as flux-sum, as key descriptive variable within the model formulation. By doing so, the effect of varying metabolite flux-sum on physiological change can be simulated by resorting to mixed integer linear programming. From the results, we could classify various metabolite types based on the flux-sum profile. Using the <it>i</it>AF1260 <it>in silico </it>metabolic model of <it>Escherichia coli</it>, we demonstrated that this novel concept complements the conventional reaction-centric analysis.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Metabolite flux-sum analysis elucidates the roles of metabolites in the network. In addition, this metabolite perturbation analysis identifies the key metabolites, implicating practical application which is achievable through metabolite flux-sum manipulation in the areas of biotechnology and biomedical research.</p

A Genome-Scale Metabolic Reconstruction of Mycoplasma genitalium, iPS189

With a genome size of ∼580 kb and approximately 480 protein coding regions, Mycoplasma genitalium is one of the smallest known self-replicating organisms and, additionally, has extremely fastidious nutrient requirements. The reduced genomic content of M. genitalium has led researchers to suggest that the molecular assembly contained in this organism may be a close approximation to the minimal set of genes required for bacterial growth. Here, we introduce a systematic approach for the construction and curation of a genome-scale in silico metabolic model for M. genitalium. Key challenges included estimation of biomass composition, handling of enzymes with broad specificities, and the lack of a defined medium. Computational tools were subsequently employed to identify and resolve connectivity gaps in the model as well as growth prediction inconsistencies with gene essentiality experimental data. The curated model, M. genitalium iPS189 (262 reactions, 274 metabolites), is 87% accurate in recapitulating in vivo gene essentiality results for M. genitalium. Approaches and tools described herein provide a roadmap for the automated construction of in silico metabolic models of other organisms

Investigation of structural and magnetic properties of co-precipitated Mn–Ni ferrite nanoparticles in the presence of &#945;-Fe₂O₃ phase

A systematic study on structural and magnetic properties of co-precipitated MnxNi1-xFe2O4 (x=0.5, 0.6, 0.7) ferrite nanoparticles annealed at 800 &#176;C was carried out using XRD, FE-SEM, VSM and M&#246;SSBAUER techniques. Anti-ferromagnetic &#945;-Fe2O3 phase was observed along with the magnetic spinel phase in the XRD patterns. It is observed that both lattice parameter and crystallite size of spinel phase increase with increase in concentration of Mn2+ along with the amount of &#945;-Fe2O3 phase. The saturation magnetization (Ms) decreases while coercivity (Hc) increases with increase of Mn2+ ion concentration. M&#246;ssbauer spectra indicate that iron ions present in A and B sites are in the Fe3+ state and Fe2+ is absent. The results are interpreted in terms of observed anti-ferromagnetic &#945;-Fe2O3 phase, core–shell interactions and cation redistribution
