Coarse-graining the dynamics of network evolution: the rise and fall of a networked society

We explore a systematic approach to studying the dynamics of evolving networks at a coarse-grained, system level. We emphasize the importance of finding good observables (network properties) in terms of which coarse grained models can be developed. We illustrate our approach through a particular social network model: the "rise and fall" of a networked society [1]: we implement our low-dimensional description computationally using the equation-free approach and show how it can be used to (a) accelerate simulations and (b) extract system-level stability/bifurcation information from the detailed dynamic model. We discuss other system-level tasks that can be enabled through such a computer-assisted coarse graining approach.Comment: 18 pages, 11 figure

Ethnomedicinal Plants of Sirumalai Hills of Dindigul District, Tamilnadu, India

The present investigation is an attempt to an ethnomedicinal plants survey was carried out in Sirumalai Hills, Dindigul district, Tamilnadu, for the exploration of various ailments herbal remedies. They routine use 40 medicinal plants for the treatment of several disease either in single or in combination with some other ingredients. The information on correct botanical identities with family, local name and traditional practice of 40 plant species belonging of 27 families are discussed here for the treatment of various illnesses

സംയോജിത മത്സ്യകൃഷി (Integrated fish farming)

The basic principle of integrated fish farming is the effective utilization of the wealth of water as well as land through adoption of carefully planned production methods with the least amount of wastage. In this farming system through an appropriate and balanced combination of dairy, piggery,poultry, duckery and horticulture with fish farming, it is possible to obtain high production combined with high profits through the integrated use of land and water. The fertility of the water-body is enhanced through the use of organic manures

Theoretical treatment of diffusion and kinetics of osmium redox polymer mediated glucose oxidase enzyme electrodes: analytical expression of current density for varying potential.

We present for the first time a mathematical model of osmium redox polymer mediated glucose oxidase enzyme electrodes. This model is based on a system of three coupled nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations under steady-state conditions for biochemical reactions occurring in the biofuel cells that describes the oxidized mediator, oxygen and substrate (Glucose) concentration within the biofuel cell. Simple analytical expressions for the concentration of oxidized mediator, oxygen and substrate and the corresponding current-potential response have been derived for all the values of reaction diffusion parameters using the new homotopy perturbation method (NHPM).The current-potential response in osmium redox polymer mediated glucose oxidase enzyme electrodes is discussed. The analytical results for the concentrations are also compared with numerical results and a satisfactory agreement is noted. The influence of diffusion coefficient of mediator, thickens of the film, turnover rate of Gluocose Oxidase and Michaelis-Menten constant on current-potential curve is also analyzed

User’s Satisfaction with Public Libraries: A Special Reference to District Central Library, Thiruvallur (Tamilnadu)

The role of public libraries in providing such goals is troublesome to contradict. Users are the most element of any library. The identification and fulfill of their needs and satisfaction are objectives any library. This paper mainly focuses on the services provided by Thiruvallur District Central Library and satisfaction level of those services from user’s perspective. It\u27s conjointly facilitated the way to perform duties and serving the most effective doable way to satisfy their valuable users attaining their satisfaction level and by decreasing the world organization satisfactory parts of library. The study so simple a descriptive Survey and applied sampling technique over three hundred users of the library. The form used as a tool to gather data and 250 questionnaires were received from respondents out of 300 questionnaires distributed. It had been discovered by the study that the library is taking part in the main role at some extent. However several areas must be revised to fulfill the expectation and intellectual wants of society
