Some New Congruences for l-Regular Partitions Modulo 13, 17, and 23

A partition of n is l-regular if none of its parts is divisible by l. Let b l (n) denote the number of l-regular partitions of n. In this paper, using theta function identities due to Ramanujan, we establish some new infinite families of congruences for b l (n) modulo l, where l = 17, 23, and for b 65 (n) modulo 13

Pre-investment perception of investors’ towards security market in indian context

Purpose: The security market comprises the buy and sell of the securities based on the demand. The security markets instruments comprise debt, equity, hybrid securities, and derivatives.   Theoretical framework:The investors perceive the adoption of the security market as necessary to examine the pre-investment in the security market.   Design/methodology/approach: With the implementation and incorporation of security features, the performance of the security market is improved.   Research, Practical &  Social  implications:The analysis is based on the Indian security market scenario through data collection from 300 respondents. The data were collected through primary data collection in quantitative and qualitative approaches.   Findings:The examination is based on the evaluation of the framed hypothesis based on the demographic profile of the investors in the security market.   Originality/value: The findings concluded that the risk associated with the security investments was subjected to security risk.

A pilot study on the prevalence of DNA palindromes in breast cancer genomes

Background DNA palindromes are a unique pattern of repeat sequences that are present in the human genome. It consists of a sequence of nucleotides in which the second half is the complement of the first half but appearing in reverse order. These palindromic sequences may have a significant role in DNA replication, transcription and gene regulation processes. They occur frequently in human cancers by clustering at specific locations of the genome that undergo gene amplification and tumorigenesis. Moreover, some studies showed that palindromes are clustered in amplified regions of breast cancer genomes especially in chromosomes (chr) 8 and 11. With the large number of personal genomes and cancer genomes becoming available, it is now possible to study their association to diseases using computational methods. Here, we conducted a pilot study on chromosomes 8 and 11 of cancer genomes to identify computationally the differentially occurring palindromes. Methods We processed 69 breast cancer genomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas including serum-normal and tumor genomes, and 1000 Genomes to serve as control group. The Biological Language Modelling Toolkit (BLMT) computes palindromes in whole genomes. We developed a computational pipeline integrating BLMT to compute and compare prevalence of palindromes in personal genomes. Results We carried out a pilot study on chr 8 and chr 11 taking into account single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions and deletions. Of all the palindromes that showed any variation in cancer genomes, 38% of what were near breast cancer genes happened to be the most differentiated palindromes in tumor (i.e. they ranked among the top 25% by our heuristic measure). Conclusions These results will shed light on the prevalence of palindromes in oncogenes and the mutations that are present in the palindromic regions that could contribute to genomic rearrangements, and breast cancer progression

Ultralow-Power and Secure S-Box Circuit Using FinFET Based ECRL Adiabatic Logic

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the widely used technique in critical cyber security applications. In AES architecture S-box is the most important block. However, the power consumed by      S-box is 75% of the total AES design. The   S-box is also prone to Differential Power Analysis (DPA) attack which is one of the most threatening types of attacks in cryptographic systems. In this paper, a     three-stage positive polarity Reed-Muller (PPRM) S-box is implemented with 45nm FinFET using Efficient Charge Recovery Logic (ECRL) to reduce power consumption. The simulation results indicate up to 66% power savings for FinFET based S-box as compared to CMOS design. Further, the FinFET ECRL 8-bit     S-box circuit is evaluated for transitional energy fluctuations and peak current traces to compare its resistance against side-channel attacks. The lower energy variations and uniform current trace exhibit the improved security performance of the circuit to withstand DPA and Differential Electromagnetic Radiation Attacks (DEMA)

Volumetric properties of binary mixtures of cyclohexane with 2-ethoxyethanol at 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K

1206-1210The excess molar volumes (VmE) for binary liquid mixtures of cyclohexane+2-ethoxyethanol have been calculated from the experimental values of density and ultrasonic velocity at temperatures 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K and atmospheric pressure over the entire composition range. The results have been used to estimate the partial molar volumes m,i of the components. The excess values have been fitted to Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The changes of VmE and with composition and temperature have been discussed with reference to the nature of interactions between the component molecules

DISCOVERY OF STRAIN IN ONLINE NETWORKS WITH THE SUPPORT OF PUBLIC INTERACTIONS

Psychological stress threatens people's health. It is not easy to spot stress in a timely and proactive manner. With popular social networking, people are accustomed to sharing their daily activities and interacting with friends on social media platforms, making it possible to take advantage of social network data over the Internet to detect stress. In this paper, users' stress status is closely related to their friends in social networks, and we use a broad set of data from real social platforms to conduct a systematic study of the relationship of stress. And social interactions of users. First, we define a set of textual, visual and social characteristics associated with stress from multiple aspects, and then propose a new hybrid model: a global graphical model shared with the neural network to leverage the use of Twitter content and social interaction information to detect stress. Experimental results show that the proposed model can improve detection performance by 5-10% in F1. In further analysis of social interaction data, we also found many interesting phenomena, i.e., the number of dispersed social connections (i.e., without Delta connections) of users is approximately 13% higher than non-fanatical users, indicating that the social structure of stressful friends tends to be less connected and less complex than non-authorized users

Mechanism of Biocontrol of Aspergillus flavus in Groundnut by Species of Trichoderma

Aflatoxin contamination of groundnut by Aspergillus flavus is a serious problem affecting the quality and commercial value of groundnut kernels. Biological management of A. flavus infection at pre- and post-harvest levels by using species of Trichoderma is a promising approach. Trichoderma isolates from the fields of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka states of India were evaluated for their ability to control A. flavus (strain Af 11-4) in the laboratory. Out of 212 isolates of Trichoderma, 36 were potent antagonists and these were analyzed for the production of volatile and diffusible antibiotics. Twenty-one of the 36 isolates produced volatile antibiotics and 15 produced diffusible antibiotics. Biocontrol mechanism of their action was analyzed by estimating extracellular enzyme production viz, chitinase, protease and glucanase. Maximum chitinase activity was associated with the isolate T. viride (Tv 24), T. pseudokoningii (Tp 29) and T. harzianum (Th 42). T. harzianum showed a maximum protease activity while T. koningii (Tk 83) and T. longibrachiatum (Tl 102) produced glucanases in the presence of glucose
