Harvesting Image Databases from The Web

The research work presented here includes data mining needs and study of their algorithm for various extraction purpose. It also includes work that has been done in the field of harvesting images from web. Here the proposed method is to harvest image databases from web. We can automatically generate a large number of images for a specified object. By applying concept of data mining and the algorithm from data mining which is used for extraction of data or harvesting images. A multimodal approach employing text ,metadata and visual  features is used to gather many high-quality images from the web. The modules can be made to find query images by selecting images where nearby text is top ranked by the topic i.e., formation of image clusters then download associate images by using approaches like web search, image search and Google images. Apply re-ranking algorithm and then filtering process to harvest the images.Currently, image search gives a very low precision (only about 4%) and is not used for the harvesting experiments. Since the movements of the technologies are growing rapidly the kinds of work also need to be grown up. This work shows an approach to harvest a large number of images of a particular class automatically and to achieve this with high precision by providing training databases so that a new object model can be learned effortlessly. Many other tools also are available for harvesting images from web .An approach in this paper is original and up to the mark.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL MUCOADHESIVE DERIVATIVE OF PSYLLIUM SEED POLYSACCHARIDE

Objective: In the present study, thiol-functionalization of psyllium seed polysaccharide (PSY) was cross-linked with thioglycolic acid by esterification in an attempt to reveal the mucoadhesive properties of thiolated psyllium seed polysaccharide (TPSY).Methods: The crosslinking was carried out by the microwave-assisted method. A simplex centroid design was employed to systematically study the mucoadhesive strength, mucoadhesive retention time and drug release profile. Comparative evaluation of carbopol-based ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (HCl) tablets containing PSY and TPSY was carried out. Acute oral toxicity studies and repeated oral toxicity for TPSY were also conducted.Results: Thiol-functionalization was confirmed by-SH stretch in Fourier Transform infra-red spectra at 2353 cm-1. Thiolation was observed in thiolated PSY (TPSY) by a change in the surface morphology of psyllium from fibrous to granular and resulted in 82 %swelling in deionized water. TPSY was found to contain 102.35 mmol of thiol groups/g as determined by the Ellman's method. The percent increase in mucoadhesive strength of TPSY was found to be 50.31 % as compared to PSY and 128.30 % as compared to carbopol. The percent increase in mucoadhesive retention time of TPSY was found to be 110 % as compared to PSY and 50 % as compared to carbopol.Conclusion: Mucoadhesion strength and mucoadhesive retention time were greater of tablets containing a higher amount of TPSY. Further, the acute oral toxicity studies and repeated oral toxicity for TPSY proved it as non-toxic and hence safe for human use

A REVIEW OF PRIVACY PRESERVING TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

ABSTRACT

Non-invasive imaging of PIK3CA promoter modulation in tumor xenografts of living mice after cisplatin treatment.

<p>3a. Bioluminescence signal of PIK3CA promoter in PPF tumors. 3a1. Graphical representation of the kinetics of <i>PIK3CA</i> promoter modulation. The luciferase activity in the control group of mice (n = 3) increased with time while that of the treated group (n = 3) attenuated from the fourteenth day of treatment till the 22^nd day (end point) after one treatment (8 mg/kg) (shaded area represented the days of treatment). At 22^nd day, measurable attenuation in the bioluminescence signal between the control and treated mice was evident however it did not reach statistical significance. (Day 1 represents the day prior to treatment). 3a2. Graphical representation of fold-changes in the bioluminescence signals. The temporal fold change in bioluminescence signal (post treatment signal/pre treatment signal) demonstrated augmented bioluminescence in the control group and attenuation in the treated group. 3a3. Representative bioluminescent images of the mice bearing PPF tumors. Mouse from the control and treated group exhibited specific and similar intensity signals which decreased after treatment (arrowhead). 3b. Bioluminescence signal of PIK3CA promoter in APFT tumors after cisplatin treatment. 3b1. Graphical representation of the kinetics of <i>PIK3CA</i> promoter modulation. The bioluminescence signal in the control mice (n = 3) increased with time while that of the treated group (n = 4) showed a slight decrease at 11th day after first treatment and significant attenuation at 15^th day after second treatment (p<0.025). 3b2. Graphical representation of fold-changes in the bioluminescence signals. The temporal fold change in bioluminescence signals (post treatment signal/pre treatment signal) demonstrated augmented bioluminescence in the control group and but attenuation in the treated (Day 10 represented signal prior to treatment). 3b3. Representative bioluminescent images of the mice bearing APFT tumors. Mouse from control and treated group exhibited specific signals which decreased only in treated mouse as shown by an arrow.</p

In vitro studies on effect of Cisplatin and paclitaxel on PIK3CA promoter and p53.

<p>2a-d and 2k -2l. <i>PIK3CA</i> promoter activity in drug treated PA1-<i>PIK3CA-fluc2-tdt</i> (PPF), A2780-<i>PIK3CA-fluc2-tdt</i> (APFT) and SKOV3-<i>PIK3CA-fluc2-tdt</i> (SPFT) (2k and l) cells. A dose dependent decrease in luciferase activity (<i>PIK3CA</i> promoter activity) was observed on increasing concentrations of cisplatin treatments in PPF cells (at 3 & 5 µg/ml cisplatin, p<0.03) (2a) and in APFT cells at 20 and 30 µg/ml cisplatin (p<0.003) (2c). Similar dose dependent decrease in luciferase activity was obtained on increasing concentration of paclitaxel treatment in PPF up to 25 µg/ml, p<0.001) (2b) and in APFT cells upto 20 µg/ml paclitaxel, p<0.05 (2d) No such dose dependent change was observed on treatments with increasing concentration of cisplatin and paclitaxel (2k and 2l) in SPFT cells. 2e-2 h. Endogenous expression of p110α and p53 proteins after drug treatments. Western blot analysis of p53 protein from lysates of cisplatin and paclitaxel treated PPF and APFT cells showed induction in p53 level after 24hrs; however no change was observed after 2hrs. The p110α levels did not show any change after drug treatment (2e & 2g). The densitometric analysis representing the same is shown in 2d & 2h. The p53 mutant status in SPFT cells was verified by western blotting (2 m). 2i & 2j. Nuclear localization of p53 after treatment in cisplatin treated cells. p53 protein (red in 3g and green in 3h) showed nuclear localization upon treatment with cisplatin for 2hrs as compared to the vehicle treatment in PPF and APFT cells. DAPI (blue) indicated the nuclear staining.</p
