A Novel Cyber Resilience Framework – Strategies and Best Practices for Today's Organizations

Cyber resilience refers to an organization's ability to maintain its essential functions, services despite cyber-attacks and swiftly recover from any disruptions. It involves proactive measures like gathering threat intelligence and managing risks, as well as reactive measures such as incident response planning, data backup and recovery. To achieve cyber resilience, organizations must implement robust cyber security measures, regularly update their incident response plans, and educate employees on safe online practices. Furthermore, having a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy in place is crucial to swiftly restore critical systems and data in the event of an attack. Overall, the proposed framework emphasizes cyber resilience as a continuous and proactive approach for managing cyber security risks and safeguarding against the growing threat of cyber-attacks

Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Percolation Network Enhanced the Performance of Negative Electrode for Lead-Acid Battery

The discharge performance of lead-acid battery is improved by adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an alternate conductive additive in Negative Active Mass (NAM).We report thatMWCNTs added to the negative electrode, exhibits high capacity, excellent cycling performances at 10-h rate, high rate partial state of charge (HRPSoC) cycling and various rates of discharge. It significantly reduces the irreversible lead sulfate on the NAM, increases the active material utilization and improves the electrode performance. The improvement of capacity and cyclic performance of the cell is attributed to the nanoscale dimension of the MWCNTs as additive. Subsequent characterization using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were carried out to understand the influence of MWCNTs on the negative electrode of lead-acid battery

Studies on clustering of chilli (Capsicum annum L.) genotypes based on genetic distance

Mahalanobis' D2 statistics was used to analyse forty-five chilli (Capsicum annum L.) genotypes based on eighteen characters in order to pick out supreme potential parents for hybridization. Based on D2 values, the genotypes were divided into eleven groups with extreme divergence. Cluster I had the majority of genotypes (sixteen), whereas the fewest genotypes were identified in clusters VII, VIII, X and XI (one). Cluster XI had the greatest distance within the cluster. Clusters V and XI had the maximum generalized distance between them, followed by clusters VII and XI, clusters IV and VII, clusters IV and V and clusters II and XI. This suggests that the genotypes in these groups had more genetic variation. Following cluster VII and VIII, cluster V showed the highest cluster mean for green, dry fruit yield (846g and 95.50g) and several yield-related features. At clusters I, II and VI, no observation for high cluster means but had fair trait performance. It may be suggested to directly advance the genotypes from clusters V, VII, VII in hybridization to obtain unique recombinants

ANTAGONISTIC POTENTIAL OF FLUORESCENT Pseudomonas AND ITS IMPACT ON GROWTH OF TOMATO CHALLENGED WITH PHTOPATHOGENS

This study focused on the antagonistic potential of fluorescent Pseudomonas in vitro, and its inoculation effect on growth performance of Lycopersicon esculentum in Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani infested soil. Biochemical characteristics of fluorescent Pseudomonas showed that all ten isolates were positive to catalase, amylase, gelatinase and siderophore production. While three isolates (Pf5, Pf6 and Pf9) were oxidase positive, nine isolates (Pf1, Pf2, Pf3, Pf4, Pf6, Pf7, Pf8, Pf9, and Pf10) were tolerant to 6.5% NaCl. Isolates Pf5 and Pf6 were resistant to all the test antibiotics; in contrast, the remaining eight isolates responded differently to different antibiotics. Isolates Pf5 and Pf6 were antagonistic against 14 bacterial species, and two pathogenic fungi (F. oxysporum and R. solani). Inoculation with fulorescent Pseudomonas Pf5 induced a significant increase in root and shoot length, and dry weight. Treatment of plants with either F. oxysporum or R. solani drastically reduced the root and shoot length and dry weight of the plant. However, in the presence of fluorescent Pseudomonas the adverse effect of the pathogens on growth of L. esculentum was alleviated.Cette \ue9tude a port\ue9 sur le potentiel antagonistique du Pseudomonas fluorescent, in vitro et les effets de son inoculation sur la performance en croissance du Lycopersicon esculentum dans le sol infest\ue9 par le Fusarium oxysporum et le Rhizoctonia solani . Les caract\ue9ristiques biochemiques du Pseudomonas fluorescent ont montr\ue9 que tous les dix isolats \ue9taient positives eu \ue9gard \ue0 la production de catalase, amylase, g\ue9latinase et sid\ue9rophore. Alors que trois isolats (Pf5, Pf6 and Pf9) \ue9taient oxidase positifs, neuf isolats (Pf1, Pf2, Pf3, Pf4, Pf6, Pf7, Pf8, Pf9, et Pf10) \ue9taient tolerant au 6.5% NaCl. Les isolats Pf5 et Pf6 \ue9taient r\ue9sistants \ue0 tous les test antibiotiques; au contraire, les huit isolats restants ont r\ue9pondu diff\ue9remment aux diff\ue9rents antibiotiques. Les isolats Pf5 et Pf6 \ue9taient antagonistiques contre 14 esp\ue8ces de bact\ue9ries, et deux champignons pathogeniques (F. oxysporum et R. solani). L\u2019inoculation avec Pseudomonas fulorescent Pf5 a induit une augmentation significative des raciness et de la longueur des tiges, ainsi que du poids sec. Le traitement de plants avec du F. oxysporum ou du R. solani ont radicalement r\ue9duit la longueur des raciness et tiges ainsi que le poids sec du plant. Cependant, en pr\ue9sence du Pseudomonas fluorescent, l\u2019effet adverse du pathog\ue8ne sur la croissance du L. esculentum \ue9tait allevi\ue9

Low vitamin B12 in pregnancy is associated with adipose derived circulating miRs targeting PPARγ and insulin resistance

Context: Low vitamin B12 (B12) during pregnancy is associated with higher maternal obesity, insulin resistance(IR) and gestational diabetes(GDM). B12 is a key co-factor in 1-carbon metabolism. Objective: We hypothesize that B12 plays a role in epigenetic regulation by altering circulating miRNAs(miRs) during adipocyte differentiation and results in an adverse metabolic phenotype. Design, settings and main-outcome measure: Human pre-adipocyte cell-line(Chub-S7) were differentiated in various B12 concentrations: Control(500nM), LowB12(0.15nM) and NoB12(0nM). Maternal blood samples(n=91) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT)(n=42) were collected at delivery. Serum B12, folate, lipids, plasma 1-carbon metabolites, miR profiling, miR expression and gene expression were measured. Results: Our in vitro model demonstrated that adipocytes in B12 deficient conditions accumulated more lipids, had higher triglyceride levels and increased gene expression of adipogenesis and lipogenesis. MiR array screening revealed differential expression of 133miRs involving several metabolic pathways (adjusted p<0.05). Altered miR expression were observed in 12miRs related to adipocyte differentiation and function in adipocytes. Validation of this data in pregnant women with low B12, confirmed increased expression of adipo/lipogenic genes and altered miRs in SAT, and altered levels of 11 of the 12miRs in circulation. After adjusting for other possible confounders, multiple regression analysis revealed an independent association of B12 with BMI (β: -0.264; 95% CI: -0.469, -0.058; p=0.013) and was mediated by four circulating miRs targeting PPARγ and IR. Conclusions: Low B12 levels in pregnancy alters adipose derived circulating miRs, which may mediate an adipogenic and IR phenotype leading to obesity
