Air Conditioning Using Radiant Cooling System

A Radiant cooling system alludes to a temperature-controlled surface that cools indoor temperatures by evacuating sensible heat and where the greater part of heat exchange happens through thermal radiation. Heat will spill out of objects, occupants, equipment and lights in a space to a cooled surface the length of their temperatures are hotter than that of the cooled surface and they are inside the observable pathway of the cooled surface. The procedure of radiant exchange negligibly effects on air temperature, yet through the procedure of convection, the air temperature will be brought down when air interacts with the cooled surface. Radiant cooling system utilizes the inverse impact of Radiant cooling system, which depends on the procedure of heat spill out of a warmed surface to items and inhabitants

Transcription profiling reveals potential mechanisms of dysbiosis in the oral microbiome of rhesus macaques with chronic untreated SIV infection.

A majority of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have inadequate access to antiretroviral therapy and ultimately develop debilitating oral infections that often correlate with disease progression. Due to the impracticalities of conducting host-microbe systems-based studies in HIV infected patients, we have evaluated the potential of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infected rhesus macaques to serve as a non-human primate model for oral manifestations of HIV disease. We present the first description of the rhesus macaque oral microbiota and show that a mixture of human commensal bacteria and "macaque versions" of human commensals colonize the tongue dorsum and dental plaque. Our findings indicate that SIV infection results in chronic activation of antiviral and inflammatory responses in the tongue mucosa that may collectively lead to repression of epithelial development and impact the microbiome. In addition, we show that dysbiosis of the lingual microbiome in SIV infection is characterized by outgrowth of Gemella morbillorum that may result from impaired macrophage function. Finally, we provide evidence that the increased capacity of opportunistic pathogens (e.g. E. coli) to colonize the microbiome is associated with reduced production of antimicrobial peptides

Design and development of high strength paper bag using non-recycled paper

Submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirement of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in MechanicalThe detrimental effects of plastic bags on the environment are well known. It is now appropriate to use alternative materials for manufacturing bags and in packaging industries. While biodegradable plastics research has gained steam in the first world countries, countries like India are still dependent upon cheaper alternatives such as Kraft paper/ old newspaper (ONP) as packaging materials for transport.\ud Recycling of paper to produce bags is very common but it has its own disadvantages. The best option is to reuse. Every year lacs of papers are collected in academic Institutes in the form of assignment and practical papers with which paper bags can be produced. This option is very good in terms of economic viability. Further, the cost of these bags can be reduced by adopting appropriate materials in manufacturing. The design of the bag conforms and is much more than the expected load carrying capacity of a bag whether plastic or paper of the same size. Striking a balance between the strength and cost of the bags requires extensive experimentation using different designs and materials used for gluing and handle. Design of experiment using software Minitab helped to optimize the experiment results and deduce the best combination therefrom. The design of machine for manufacturing these paper bags is based on the design selected from this analysis.\ud In order to reduce the dependence on plastic bags in our day-to-day life, it is very important to achieve desirable factors such as strength, durability and affordability in paper bags. In future mass production by establishing a centralized unit for our as well as nearby Institutes can help to further reduce and provide sponsorship to this project

Statistical determination of the most suitable way of performing beam reactions experiment

Conference Proceeding MULTICON-W 2014 organised by Thakur College of Engineering and Techology, Mumbai India.beam reactions experiment is an experiment of the subject Enginnering Mecanics of First Year Engineering courses for all branches of Engineering, under University of Mumbai. In this experiment the reactions at the supports of a simply supported wooden beam are measured. The beam is supported by spring so that the deflection at the end supports can be measured with the help of a pointer connected to the spring. The spring at both ends deflects in proportion to the applied load and the distance of the load from the support

Studies on the reproductive biology of Indian Sand Whiting <i style="">Sillago sihama</i> (Forsskal)

280-284Sillago sihama have a prolonged breeding season from June to December, with spawning activity peaked during the period of September to November. Length at first maturity stage was found to vary between 155-164 mm (total length) in both sexes. Although overall sex ratio indicated predominance of female, Chi-square test (x2) showed no significant difference throughout the year. Fecundity varied from 11,376 to 103,695 per fish, is significantly correlated with total length (r = 0.85, r &lt; 0.01), body weight (r = 0.88, r &lt; 0.01) and ovary weight (r = 0.87, r &lt; 0.01)

<smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> Macrobenthic communities of the coastal waters of Dabhol, west coast of India </smarttagtype></smarttagtype>

93-99Macrobenthic community of a shallow subtidal (5-20 m) muddy deposit off Dabhol was investigated. Sediment comprised mainly of silt and clay with less of sand. Dominance of clayey-silt fraction reflects on active flocculation of fine grain particles. The sediment organic carbon with a mean value of 1.42% was rather high. The population density of macro-invertebrates varied from 250 to 600 no.m-2 (mean=395±111) during December 1994. The values increased significantly during December 1996 and ranged between 400 and 975 no.m-2 (mean = 621±194). Macrofaunal community comprised of typical near-shore species, numerically dominated by polychaetes. The sediment organic content reflects on the high biological productivity of the area, particularly benthic production that was evident from a good fish catch in the experimental bottom trawling. Values for species diversity followed more or less similar trends and less variability among the sampling stations in Dec.1994 and Dec. 1996. However, species composition indicated the dominance of different taxa among the sampling locations during two sampling years. The occurrence of juvenile forms of decapods (shrimps and crabs) in the benthic samples suggest that the coastal waters of Dabhol provide favourable environmental conditions for feeding and breeding of commercially important prawn and crab species

Teleotanais Lang 1956

Genus &lt;i&gt;Teleotanais&lt;/i&gt; Lang, 1956 &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Revised diagnosis.&lt;/b&gt; Female. With mottled dorsal pigmentation. Eye lobes and pigmented eyes present. First four pleonites each bearing pair of articulated, plumose midlateral setae, last pleonite bearing pair of simple midlateral setae. Antenna articles 2 and 3 without dorsodistal spiniform setae, article 3 with proximal, medial, and distal dorsal setae. Maxillule with palp bearing one or two distal setae. Maxillipedal endite not expanded, distally armed with single seta and two or three fine, pointed spine. Fixed finger of cheliped with raised inner ridge. Carpus of pereopods 2&ndash;3 without spiniform setae. Posterior pereopods with distal spiniform seta on merus, carpus, and propodus; dactylus plus unguis claw-shaped but these elements unfused. Basal articles of pleopods with single dorsal plumose seta. Uropods shorter than pleotelson; exopod with two articles, endopod with one or two articles.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; We believe that the presence of a maxillular palp with only one seta in &lt;i&gt;T. warragamba&lt;/i&gt;, as recorded by Bamber (2008), is likely to be an artefact as it would otherwise be unique in the Tanaidacea.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Species included: &lt;i&gt;Teleotanais gerlachi&lt;/i&gt; Lang, 1956 (type species), &lt;i&gt;T. indiaensis&lt;/i&gt; sp. nov., &lt;i&gt;T. warragamba&lt;/i&gt; Bamber, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Larsen, Kim, Sahoo, Gobardhan &amp; Ansari, Zakir Ali, 2013, Description of a New Mangrove Root Dwelling Species of Teleotanais (Crustacea: Peracarida: Tanaidacea) from India, with a Key to Teleotanaidae, pp. 237-243 in Species Diversity 18&lt;/i&gt; on pages 237-238, DOI: 10.12782/sd.18.2.237, &lt;a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5737303"&gt;http://zenodo.org/record/5737303&lt;/a&gt
