Transfer of Technology: Competition or Cooperation

Looking at an economy as consisting of several layers of techniques gives us a way to spell out the implications of macroeconomic situations to micro levels. For instance, if macroeconomic consideration point to reducing total employment, a map of the layers of techniques of the economy should be able to pinpoint the firms of different regions that are likely to be effected. In such cases, to be able to delineate the effects of extra final demand of the new investment on the production and employment in the economy, we require best input-output and labour coefficients instead of the average ones that are at present computed worldwide. Similarly, for capacities going out of production either because of the lack of demand, or obsolescence, we want to have the knowledge of the least efficient techniques of production for finding out their economic implications [Azid (2002)]

An approach to optimize process parameter for peptides extraction from Zophobas morio (Fabricius) using antifungal activity as the response

Antifungal peptides have been successfully extracted from whole body larvae of Zophobas morio (Fabricius) by using acidified isopropanol. To ensure that the extraction is cost effective for maximum yield, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using a Central Composite Design (CCD) strategy was adopted to optimize the extraction process parameters. The effect of independent parameters, namely, the homogenization temperature (°C), homogenization time (min) and solid (g) to the solvent (ml) ratio of the extraction process on the fungal growth was studied. The extracted samples obtained by conducting runs accorded by the experimental design showed varying degree of antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, the selected fungal strain, as assayed by the ‘‘Poisoned agar technique’. The investigation showed that the optimum values of the extraction parameters for the maximum antifungal peptides were 5 minutes homogenization time, 4°C homogenization temperature and 3.5:1 solid to solvent ratio. This study reports the development of an extraction process that allows careful recovery of antifungal peptides from insect larvae. In the validation of the experimental model, the error between the actual value and the predicted value was determined to be 3.57%

The Global Administrative Law: A Comparative Study

There is interest in the research whether a Global Administrative law is appearing and assuming this is the case regardless of whether this is awesome or something else This paper tends to the inquiry of thoughts for world administrative law It thinks about the possible sources and their appropriateness as a reason for a worldwide regulatory guideline framework first the by and huge procedural norms that have arisen in public administrative law frameworks profoundly the statute of lawfulness and due framework standards second the arrangement of the rule of guideline esteems advanced by utilizing defenders of free change and financial progressivism third the correct administration method and extra essentially straightforwardness support and responsibility lastly common liberties esteems The paper closes on a suspicious note presuming that a consistently happening set of regulatory law principles is difficult to see and not at this point especially eye catching To begin with the global administrative guideline is particularly a Western build protecting Western interests It might moreover impact ominously on developing economies Besides the development of world regulatory law in adjudicative sheets is a principle to an unwanted juridical formation of the political cycl

Anticancer peptides derived from supermeal worm (Zophobas morio) larvae

Cancer still presents enormous challenges in the medical world. Currently, the search for anticancer compounds has garnered a lot of interest, especially in finding them from the natural sources. In this study, by using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) colorimetric assay, compounds, extracted from supermeal worm (Zophobas morio) larvae using two types of acidified organic solvent (ethanol and isopropanol), were shown to inhibit the growth of a breast cancer line, MCF-7. A comparative study of the effect was carried out on a normal cell line, Vero. Results showed that, the two types of extracts inhibits growth of MCF-7 cell at varying degrees, on the other hand, have much less effect on Vero cell. Extracts analysed by UV-vis spectroscopy, showed peaks in the range of 260 to 280 nm, inferring the presence of aromatic amino acids, whereas the highest peak of 3.608 AU at 230 nm indicates the presence of peptide bonds. By Raman spectroscopy, peaks are observed at 1349 cm-1, 944 cm-1 and 841 cm-1 indicating the presence of Tyr, Try and Gly, confirming the UV-vis analyses. All results of analyses implied that the anticancer compounds contain peptides

Fast prediction of voltage stability index based on radial basis function neural network: Iraqi super grid network, 400-kV

With the increase in power demand and limited power sources has caused the system to operate at its maximum capacity. Therefore, the ability of determine voltage stability before voltage collapse has received a great attention due to the complexity of power system. In this paper a prediction of voltage stability index (VSI) based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) for the Iraqi Super Grid network, 400KV. Learning data has been obtained for various settings of load variables using load flow and conventional FVSI method. The input data was performed by using a 135 samples test with different bus voltage (Vb), Bus active and reactive power (Pb, Qb), bus load angle (?b) and FVSIij. The RBFNN model has four input representing the (Vb, Pb, Qb and ?b), sixteen nodes at hidden layer and one output node representing FVSIij have been used to assess the security on line. The proposed method has been tested in the IEEE 30 and a practical system. In Simulation results show that the proposed method is more suitable for on-line voltage stability assessment in term of automatically detection of critical transmission line when additional real or reactive loads are added

A Beneficial Resemblance of the Origin of Hindu Law : Religious Observation

This paper aims to improve our understanding about the prevalence and determinants of Hindu law in both historical and comparative perspectives with an introductory reflections on the nature and role of law in society the inter relationship between religion and their sources in general further issues covered include the triple origins of Hindu law in priestly codes Dharmaas religious law and the controversy over religion and secularism in the courts today Attention is given to definition of the category Hindu attempts to legislate the universal structure of Hindu Scriptures as It is especially pertinent for students interested in comparative legal theory of Hindu law the inter sections of law religion and religious practices and the role of law in determining or reforming the social orde
