Changes in biochemical composition of fish -Winter School on Impact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008

Changes or alterations in biochemical composition take place due to various reasons viz., the natural conditions, spoilage and processing which in turn depends on the type and quality of the fish in question

Hybrid Sentiment Classification of Reviews Using Synonym Lexicon and Word embedding

Sentiment analysis is used in extract some useful information from the given set of documents by using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. These techniques have wide scope in various fields which are dealing with huge amount of data link e-commerce, business and market analysis, social media and review impact of products and movies. Sentiment analysis can be applied over these data for finding the polarity of the data like positive, neutral or negative automatically or many complex sentiments like happiness, sad, anger, joy, etc. for a particular product and services based on user reviews. Sentiment analysis not only able to find the polarity of the reviews. Sentiment analysis utilizes machine learning algorithms with vectorization techniques based on textual documents to train the classifier models. These models are later used to perform sentiment analysis on the given dataset of particular domain on which the classifier model is trained. Vectorization is done for text document by using word embedding based and hybrid vectorization. The proposed methodology focus on fast and accurate sentiment prediction with higher confidence value over the dataset in both Tamil and English

Draft genome sequence of the naturally competent Bacillus simplex strain WY10

ABSTRACT We sequenced a naturally competent bacterial isolate, WY10, cultured from a Wyoming soil sample. Sequence analysis revealed that WY10 is a novel strain of Bacillus simplex . To our knowledge, WY10 is the first B. simplex strain to be characterized as naturally competent for DNA uptake by transformation. </jats:p

Optimal Allocation for Reliability Analysis of Series Parallel System using Dynamic Programming

In general, optimal allocations for Series-Parallel redundant configurations being carried out using unit or component redundancies. However, Dynamic programming approach by which the optimal allocation can be used when the values of reliabilities and cost for each component are known. The advantage of Dynamic programming approach is that it is simple and it requires less processing time. In this paper, the optimal allocation for series parallel Reliability Logic Diagram of a system is considered. The deterministic Dynamic Programming approach for Reliability optimization has been used and optimal allocation is obtained with different number of components at each stage. Whereas, in the earlier methods, either unit or component redundancies are only used for estimating Optimum reliability

Electrical Transport Characteristics and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy of Ni/V/n-InP Schottky Barrier Diodes

We report on the temperature-dependent electrical characteristics and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) of the Ni/V/n-InP Schottky diodes in the temperature range of 180-420 K. Current density - voltage (J-V) characteristics of these diodes have been analyzed on the basis of thermionic emission theory with Gaussian distribution model of barrier height. The calculated Schottky barrier height (bo) and ideality factor (n) of Ni/V Schottky contact is in the range of 0.39 eV and 2.36 at 180 K, and 0.69 eV and 1.27 at 420 K, respectively. It is observed that the zero-bias barrier height increases while ideality factor decreases with increasing temperature. A bo versus q/2kT plot is drawn to obtain evidence of a Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights, and values of = 0.95 eV and 0 = 128 eV for the mean barrier height and standard deviation. A modified Richardson plot gives (T=0)= 0.98 eV and Richardson constant (A*) = 7.068 A K – 2cm – 2. The discrepancy between Schottky barrier height (SBHs) estimated from J-V and C-V measurements is also discussed. Thus, it is concluded that the temperature dependence of J-V characteristics of the SBHs on n-InP can be explained on the basis of themionic emission mechanism with Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights. DLTS results showed that two deep levels are identified (E1 and E2) in as-grown sample having activation energies of 0.29 ± 0.01 and 0.69 ± 0.02 with capture cross-section 3.29 × 10 – 15 cm2 and 5.85 × 10 – 17 cm2 respectively.

Electrical transport characteristics of Pd/V/N-InP Schottky diode from I-V-T and C-V-T measurements

The temperature dependence of current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of the Pd/V contacts on undoped n-type InP Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) have been systematically investigated in the temperature range of 200-400 K. The transition metal palladium (Pd) is used as a second contact layer because it has high work function, it reacts with InP at low temperatures and improved contact morphology. The ideality factor (n) and zero-bias barrier height are found to be strongly temperature dependent and while the zero-bias barrier height Φbo (I-V) increases, the ideality factor n decreases with increasing temperature. The experimental values of BH and n for the devices are calculated as 0.48 eV (I-V), 0.85 eV (C-V) and 4.87 at 200 K, 0.65 eV (I-V), 0.69 (C-V) eV and 1.58 at 400 K respectively. The I-V characteristics are analyzed on the basis of thermionic emission (TE) theory and the assumption of Gaussian distribution of barrier heights due to barrier inhomogeneities that prevail at the metal-semiconductor interface. The zero-bias barrier height Φbo versus 1/2kT plot has been drawn to obtain the evidence of a Gaussian distribution of the heights and the values of φ=0.89 eV and σ0= 145 meV for the mean barrier height and standard deviation. The conventional Richardson plot exhibits non-linearity with activation energy of 0.53 eV and the Richardson constant value of 4.25 × 10– 6 Acm– 2 K– 2. From the C-V characteristics, measured at 1 MHz the capacitance was determined to increase with increasing temperature. C-V measurements have resulted in higher barrier heights than those obtained from I-V measurements. As a result, it can be concluded that the temperature dependent characteristic parameters for Pd/V/n-InP SBDs can be successfully explained on the basis of TE mechanism with Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights.

Micromechanical models for textile structural composites

The objective is to develop micromechanical models for predicting the stiffness and strength properties of textile composite materials. Two models are presented to predict the homogeneous elastic constants and coefficients of thermal expansion of a textile composite. The first model is based on rigorous finite element analysis of the textile composite unit-cell. Periodic boundary conditions are enforced between opposite faces of the unit-cell to simulate deformations accurately. The second model implements the selective averaging method (SAM), which is based on a judicious combination of stiffness and compliance averaging. For thin textile composites, both models can predict the plate stiffness coefficients and plate thermal coefficients. The finite element procedure is extended to compute the thermal residual microstresses, and to estimate the initial failure envelope for textile composites
