Parallel Smith-Waterman Algorithm for Gene Sequencing

Smith-Waterman Algorithm represents a highly robust and efficient parallel computing system development for biological gene sequence. The research work here gives a deep understanding and knowledge transfer about exiting approach for gene sequencing and alignment using Smith-waterman their strength and weaknesses. Smith-Waterman algorithm calculates the local alignment of two given sequences used to identify similar RNA, DNA and protein segments. To identify the enhanced local alignments of biological gene pairs Smith-Waterman algorithm uses dynamic programming approach. It is proficient in finding the optimal local alignment considering the given scoring system. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150515

A Review on Smart Cart Shopping System Using IOT

The internet of things (IOT) is changing human lives by connecting everyday objects together. Nowadays shopping at big malls is a daily activity in metro cities. One can see a huge rush at malls on holidays and on special discount days. People purchase different items and put them in trolleys and go to billing counter for payments. In that time, they have to wait in a long queue to get their products scanned using RFID reader with help of barcode scanner and get their billed. To modify that customer has to purchase in smart way in shopping malls. Each and e very product is attached with a RFID tags, when placed into a smart shopping cart, can be automatically read by a cart equipped with a RFID reader, so that the billing can be conducted from the shopping cart itself. In this way, customer can avoid waiting in a long queue at the checkout points. For this system, additional smart shelving can be added and equipped with RFID reader and can monitor stock, also updating central server, server knows the status of the items in the store. The inventory management also becomes much easier, because all the items can be automatically read by a RFID reader instead of manually scanned by the laborer

Save cells before tooth replantation: A review

Avulsion is one of the most complex traumatic injury affecting both teeth and children. Avulsed teeth can be replanted. Treatment for avulsed teeth should include, pulp and periodontal ligament (PDL) cell management to increase the survival rate of these teeth. If immediate replantation is not possible, the clonicity and progenicity of the viable PDL cells can be maintained with the aid of suitable storage medium at the place of trauma. The incorrect use of a storage medium leads to PDL cell necrosis eventually resulting in ankylosis and replacement resorption of the tooth root. Due to the importance of the storage media in long-term prognosis of the avulsed teeth, an informed choice of a media is essential for a favorable outcome. This review discusses available storage media and their unique features along with pros and cons of each medium

Concomitant mandibular hypo-hyperdontia: Report of two rarest cases with the literature review

Concomitant occurrence of both hypodontia (congenital tooth agenesis) and hyperdontia (supernumerary tooth) in the same dental arch is an extremely rare dental anomaly. Literature search shows very few cases of this anomalous condition with all cases depicting the unilateral presence of supernumerary tooth. Therefore, the intention of the current article is to report two cases of concomitant occurrence of mandibular both hypo-hyperdontia. In that one case exhibited bilateral occurrence of mesiodens teeth in the midline of mandible with associated agenesis of permanent both central incisors and taurodontism in permanent molars, which is not published so far. The article also provides comprehensive literature review on this rarest clinical entity

Synthesis and Characterization of Rutile TiO2Nanopowders Doped with Iron Ions

Titanium dioxide nanopowders doped with different amounts of Fe ions were prepared by coprecipitation method. Obtained materials were characterized by structural (XRD), morphological (TEM and SEM), optical (UV/vis reflection and photoluminescence, and Raman), and analytical techniques (XPS and ICP-OES). XRD analysis revealed rutile crystalline phase for doped and undoped titanium dioxide obtained in the same manner. Diameter of the particles was 5–7 nm. The presence of iron ions was confirmed by XPS and ICP-OES. Doping process moved absorption threshold of TiO2into visible spectrum range. Photocatalytic activity was also checked. Doped nanopowders showed normal and up-converted photoluminescence
