PAOD: a predictive approach for optimization of design in FinFET/SRAM

The evolutions in the modern memory units are comeup with FinFET/SRAM which can be utilized over high scaled computing units and in other devices. Some of the recent systems were surveyed through which it is known that existing systems lags with improving the performance and optimization of FinFET/SRAM design. Thus, the paper introduces an optimized model based on Search Optimization mechanism that uses Predictive Approach to optimize the design structure of FinFET/SRAM (PAOD). Using this can achieve significant fault tolerance under dynamic cumpting devices and applications. The model uses mathematical methodology which helps to attain less computational time and significant output even at more simulation iteration. This POAD is cost effective as it provides better convergence of FinFET/SRAM design than recursive design

Abstract Downy mildew (Pseudoperonospora cub ensis) is the most devastating disease in muskmelon (Cucumis melo). A generation mean analysis study was designed to determine the types of gene action and estimate the heritability for resistance to downy mildew in four selected crosses of muskmelon. Generation mean analysis revealed that genetic dominance may be of greater importance for expres sion of resistance to downy mildew in both green house and field experiments and in all the crosses. The F1 mean was significantly lesser than the mid parent value and skewed towards resistant parent in all the crosses. Negative sign associated with gene effects indicated, in those crosses, that disease level could be decreased in relation to midparent. All the crosses expressed significant and positive additive (d) gene effects. Dominance (h) and dominance 9 dom inance (l) gene effects had opposite sign in all crosses and both experiments, which implied duplicate type of gene action. High mid-parent heterosis in all the crosses indicated strong dominance effects (as combi nation of parental alleles) for resistance to downy mildew. In all the crosses, both resistant and suscep tible parent contributed one or more dominant/partially dominant factors for resistance. Estimates of broad sense heritability were high and relatively consistent in both experiments. The two different screening exper iments showed that fixable gene effects (d ? i) were lower than the non-fixable gene effects (h ? l) in all the crosses indicating greater role of non-additive effects in the inheritance of resistance to downy mildew. Resistance to downy appeared to be controlled mainly by dominance effects, therefore the inbred lines IIHR 121 and IIHR 122 could be used strategically to exploit heterotic effects.Not Availabl

Research articleA field experiment on FAO CROPWAT model simulated water requirement and yield reduction estimation under different moisture regimes in wheat was conducted during rabi seasons of 2010- 11 and 2011-12. Crop water requirement of wheat as estimated by CROPWAT model was 286.7 mm during 2010-11 and 304.9 mm during 2011-12. The reduction in cumulative yield under various moisture regimes predicted by CROPWAT model was 3.9, 9.1, 14.6 and 19.3% during crop season 2010-11 and 2.8, 8.6, 11.2 and 20.1% during crop season 2011-12 respectively. The yield reduction as simulated by CROPWAT model under different moisture regimes was closely collaborated with the actual yield reduction. The treatment CRI + 100 mm CPE in main plot and SH + Mycorrhizae + KCl spray + Kaolin spray in sub plot produced higher grain, straw and biological yield.Not Availabl

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some [1,2,4]-Triazole Derivatives

A series of novel [1,2,4]-triazolo piperidine (8), [1,2,4]-triazolo piperazine (9a-c), [1,2,4]-triazolo phenylether (10a-e), and [1,2,4]-triazolo aniline (11a-c) derivatives have been synthesized. The chemical structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LCMS. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity. Among all the compounds tested, 11b (R4=4-MeO–) showed the highest activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and 9a (R1 and R2=Cl) showed the highest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Emotional intelligence scale for medical students

Background: Emotional Intelligence has been associated with positive outcome process in varied professions. There is paucity of Indian literature on the subject; especially involving medical undergraduates; and presently there is no scale available to measure the same in the Indian scenario. Objective: To develop a scale to measure Emotional Intelligence among medical undergraduates. Materials and Methods: Four domains of Emotional intelligence were selected, viz. Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social-Awareness & Social-Skills and these were included for the purpose of domains of the scale. On the basis of focused group discussions and in-depth deliberations with experts, undergraduate and postgraduate medical students a pool of 50 items was generated. The items were reduced to 27 based on expert consensus and on the basis of frequency of endorsement by expert reviews. It was followed by a pilot study of 50 undergraduates. This completed the preparation of the preliminary draft based on content analysis. The questionnaire was then administered in 480 students and the data was analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. For the purpose of concurrent validity, emotional intelligence scale developed by Dr. Ekta was used. Results: The Cronbach′s Alpha for Internal Consistency Reliability was 0.68. The EIS had a significant correlation with social awareness domain of Emotional Intelligence Test (EIT) establishing Concurrent Validity. Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence Scale for medical undergraduates was constructed. Reliability and concurrent validity were also established for the same
