Design and Implementation of an Innovative Internet of Things (IOT) based Smart Energy Meter

Energy meter is very essential measuring instrument for measuring the power in domestic, industrial etc. environment. Correct and appropriate measuring of power without any error is important in order to calculate the total power consumption and then for tariff calculation. In view of this, in this paper design and implementation on an innovative smart energy meter is proposed. The proposed smart energy meter is based on Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The paper describes its design along with its working

A Comprehensive Review of Smart Energy Meters: An Innovative Approach

Energy meter is an important device used for measuring the power. It is used in customers� homes, industries etc. for measuring the electrical power. A lot of modifications and development has taken place in the construction and operation of the energy meters over a decade. In view of above this paper presents a review of the development of the energy meters and their applications. Energy meters and its different types along with the innovation in this field is been discussed in this paper

Internet of Things (IoT): Research, Architectures and Applications

Internet of Things is the concept of connecting any device (so long as it has an on/off switch) to the Internet and to other connected devices. The IoT is a giant network of connected things and people, all of which collect and share data about the way they are used and about the environment around them. Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of about 30 billion objects by 2020. This paper presents a study based on IoT and its applications in different field of science and technology. Along with the introduction of the IoT literature review is also provided. The paper also discusses the architecture and elements of the IoT along with its different applications

A malignant wheeze!

Asthma is a common disorder presenting with nonspecific features, which may mimic other conditions such as tracheal tumors. Tracheal tumors are often misdiagnosed as asthma. We report a case of a 38-year female who was being worked up for persistent wheeze that was initially attributed to acute asthma, only to be later discovered as tracheal tumor. A high index of suspicion for alternative diagnoses must be kept in mind while evaluating a patient who presents with clinical features suggestive of asthma, but fails to respond to standard therapy. The present case report emphasizes the fact that not all wheezes are asthma

Antioxidant Capacity and Radical Scavenging Effect of Polyphenol Rich Mallotus philippenensis

Mallotus philippinensis is an important source of molecules with strong antioxidant activity widely used medicinal plant. Previous studies have highlighted their anticestodal, antibacterial, wound healing activities, and so forth. So, present investigation was designed to evaluate the total antioxidant activity and radical scavenging effect of 50% ethanol fruit glandular hair extract (MPE) and its role on Human Erythrocytes. MPE was tested for phytochemical test followed by its HPLC analysis. Standard antioxidant assays like DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl, superoxide radical, nitric oxide, and lipid peroxidation assay were determined along with total phenolic and flavonoids content. Results showed that MPE contains the presence of various phytochemicals, with high total phenolic and flavonoid content. HPLC analysis showed the presence of rottlerin, a polyphenolic compound in a very rich quantity. MPE exhibits significant strong scavenging activity on DPPH and ABTS assay. Reducing power showed dose dependent increase in concentration absorption compared to standard, Quercetin. Superoxide, hydroxyl radical, lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide assay showed a comparable scavenging activity compared to its standard. Our finding further provides evidence that Mallotus fruit extract is a potential natural source of antioxidants which have a protective role on human Erythrocytes exhibiting minimum hemolytic activity and this justified its uses in folklore medicines
