Experimental Study of Remote Job Submission and Execution on LRM through Grid Computing Mechanisms
Remote job submission and execution is fundamental requirement of distributed
computing done using Cluster computing. However, Cluster computing limits usage
within a single organization. Grid computing environment can allow use of
resources for remote job execution that are available in other organizations.
This paper discusses concepts of batch-job execution using LRM and using Grid.
The paper discusses two ways of preparing test Grid computing environment that
we use for experimental testing of concepts. This paper presents experimental
testing of remote job submission and execution mechanisms through LRM specific
way and Grid computing ways. Moreover, the paper also discusses various
problems faced while working with Grid computing environment and discusses
their trouble-shootings. The understanding and experimental testing presented
in this paper would become very useful to researchers who are new to the field
of job management in Grid.Comment: Fourth International Conference on Advanced Computing & Communication

Third order differential subordination and superordination results for analytic functions involving the Srivastava-Attiya operator
In this article, by making use of the linear operator introduced and studied
by Srivastava and Attiya \cite{srivastava1}, suitable classes of admissible
functions are investigated and the dual properties of the third-order
differential subordinations are presented. As a consequence, various
sandwich-type theorems are established for a class of univalent analytic
functions involving the celebrated Srivastava-Attiya transform. Relevant
connections of the new results are pointed out.Comment: 16. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1809.0651
Preparation, Characterization and Encapsulation Efficiency of Egg Albumin Nanoparticles Using EDC as Crosslinker
703-705The present investigation is aimed to utilize the desolvation process for the preparation of stable egg albumin nanoparticles (EA-NP). The minimum size of 125nm with 0.072 polydispersity index (PI) has been obtained at pH 9.0, temperature 450C when ethanol addition rate was 1ml/min at agitation speed of 650 rpm. Optimized desolvation condition has been utilized for the encapsulation of gallic acid (an anticancer agent) by taking 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 egg albumin/gallic acid ratio. The drug loading capacity of about 28% (w/w) and entrapment efficiency (EE) of 91% (w/w) was obtained at 2:1 polymer/drug ratio
Experimental Investigation of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine using Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) Blends
Increasing industrialization and motorization led to a significant rise in demand of petroleum products. As these are the non-renewable resources, it will be troublesome to predict the availability of these resources in the future, resulting in uncertainty in its supply and price and is impacting growing economies like India importing 80% of the total demand of the petroleum products. Many attempts have been made by different researchers to find out alternate fuels for Internal Combustion engines. Many alternate fuels like Biodiesel, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and Alcohol are being used nowadays by different vehicles. In this context pyrolysis of scrap tires can be used effectively to produce oil, thereby solving the problem of waste tire disposal. In the present study, Experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine fueled by TPO10, TPO15, and TPO20 at a crank angle 260 before TDC (Top Dead Centre) and injection pressure of 190 bar keeping the blend quality by controlling the density and viscosity of tire pyrolysis oil within permissible limit of euro IV diesel requirement. The performance and emission results were analyzed and compared with that of diesel fuel operation. The results of investigations indicate that the brake thermal efficiency of the TPO - DF blend decreases by 2 to 3%. CO emissions are well within permissible limits. HC emissions are higher by about 20 to 40% at partial load whereas smoke opacity is lower by about 20 to 30% as compared to diesel fuel

Design of a magnetostrictive (MS) actuator
Several advanced technologies are introduced in automotive applications. Higher energy density and dynamic performance are demanding new and cost effective actuator structures. Magnetostriction (MS), change in shape of materials under the influence of an external magnetic field, is one of these advanced technologies. Good understanding of specific design constrains is required to define and optimized a magnetostrictive actuator. This paper presents parametrical analysis with magnetic simulation of a magnetostrictive actuator. Proposed actuator has been designed, and the performance has been evaluated on experimental rig. Strain, elongation of the shaft, of 1000ppm at 10Amp and a blocked force over 4500N has been achieved with shaft of 8mm diameter, made of Terfenol-D. Furthermore, the effect of pre-stress of the Terfenol-D shaft has been evaluated experimentally. The study shows that excellent features can be obtained by magnetostrictive materials for many advanced applications
Differential partitioning of thiols and glucosinolates between shoot and root in Chinese cabbage upon excess zinc exposure
Zinc (Zn) is one of the important elements of plant growth, however, at elevated level it is toxic. Exposure of Chinese cabbage to elevated Zn2+ concentrations (5 and 10 μM ZnCl2) resulted in enhancement of total sulfur and organic sulfur concentration. Transcript level of APS reductase (APR) as a key enzyme in biosynthesis of primary sulfur compounds (cysteine and thiols), was up-regulated in both shoot and root upon exposure to elevated Zn2+, which was accompanied by an increase in the concentration of cysteine in both tissues. In contrast, the concentration of thiols increased only in the root by 5.5 and 15-fold at 5 and 10 μM Zn2+, respectively, which was in accompanied by an upregulation of ATP sulfurylase, an enzyme responsible for activation of sulfate. An elevated content of glucosinolates, mostly indolic glucosinolates, only in the shoot of plants exposed to excess level of Zn2+ coincided with an increase in gene expression of key biosynthetic enzymes and regulators (CYP79B3, CYP83B1, MYB34). Thus distinct acuumulation patterns of sulfur containing compounds in root and shoot of Chinese cabbage may be a strategy for Chinese cabbage to combat with exposure to excess Zn
