    Bioremediation of Nitro-aromatics: An Overview

    Full text link
    Since last two three decades due to industrialization, globalization there is tremendous change in human life that means to fulfil the need various industries are flourishing. We are facing the problem of environmental pollution and also facing hazards to biodiversity. So it becomes our duties to remediate the environment by using scientific tool like bioremediation. This is emerging as an effective innovative technology for treatment of a wide variety of contaminants. Bioremediation involves various approaches like phytoremediation (plants) and rhizoremediation (plant and microbe interaction). Bioremediation is most effective technology for treatment of soil and water which are mostly contaminated by human activities. It is an economical process that means operation cost is less. In current review contamination of water and soil by nitro-aromatic compounds and the role of bacteria and fungi and their enzyme activity to enhance bioremediation process is studied by literature review. Nitro-aromatic compounds are used worldwide as explosives, pesticides and as a feedstock for the manufacture of many products, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, fungicides and plastics. On the contrary, nitro-aromatic compounds are released into the biosphere exclusively from the anthropogenic sources. Nitro-aromatic compounds do not only come from manmade sources; they also are formed by some natural processes, such as photochemical reactions in the atmosphere. Extensive production and indiscriminate application of nitro-aromatic has led to environmental pollution. Hence, nitro-aromatic compounds are recognized as Hazardous Rating-3

    Tailbench: a benchmark suite and evaluation methodology for latency-critical applications

    Latency-critical applications, common in datacenters, must achieve small and predictable tail (e.g., 95th or 99th percentile) latencies. Their strict performance requirements limit utilization and efficiency in current datacenters. These problems have sparked research in hardware and software techniques that target tail latency. However, research in this area is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive suite of latency-critical benchmarks. We present TailBench, a benchmark suite and evaluation methodology that makes latency-critical workloads as easy to run and characterize as conventional, throughput-oriented ones. TailBench includes eight applications that span a wide range of latency requirements and domains, and a harness that implements a robust and statistically sound load-testing methodology. The modular design of the TailBench harness facilitates multiple load-testing scenarios, ranging from multi-node configurations that capture network overheads, to simplified single-node configurations that allow measuring tail latency in simulation. Validation results show that the simplified configurations are accurate for most applications. This flexibility enables rapid prototyping of hardware and software techniques for latency-critical workloads.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (CCF-1318384)Qatar Computing Research InstituteGoogle (Firm) (Google Research Award

    A Supervised Word Sense Disambiguation Method Using Ontology and Context Knowledge

    Get PDF
    Word Sense Disambiguation is one of the basic tasks in Natural language processing. It is the method of selecting the correct sense of the word in the given context. It is applied whenever a semantic understanding of text is needed. In order to disambiguate a word, two resources are necessary: a context in which the word has been used, and some kind of knowledge related to the word. This paper presents a method for word sense disambiguation task using a tree-matching approach. The method requires a context knowledge base containing the corpus of sentences. This paper also gives some preliminary results when a corpus containing the ambiguous words is tested on this system. Keywords: Natural Language Understanding, Word Sense Disambiguation; Tree-matching; dependent-word matchin

    Losartan: Benefits Beyond Hypertension

    Get PDF
    Losartan was the first angiotensin AT1 receptor blocker (ARB) approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hypertension. In addition to its established antihypertensive and end organ effects, several benefits of losartan beyond its antihypertensive effect have been demonstrated in clinical trials. Apart from its class effects of ARBs, losartan has pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that are unique to it. It has shown considerable benefits as uricosuric agent, in erectile dysfunction and in prevention of stroke in hypertension patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. This review presents the benefits of losartan beyond being a hypertensive agent and associated clinical outcomes

    The logistic organization structure have climbed beginning late with the improvement of global positioning system (GPS), helpful correspondence movements, sensor and remote structures association advancements. The collaborations of the administrators system are fundamental as they can add to a few points of enthusiasm, for example, proposing right places for getting clients, developing pay of truck drivers, reducing holding up time, vehicle downpours and besides compelling fuel utilization and from this time forward broadening the measure of treks the drivers can perform. The rule motivation driving this structure would supply required vehicles that would be utilized to meet client requests through the arranging, control and utilization of the noteworthy headway and cutoff of related data and associations from beginning to objective. Customer brings to the table start to finish security to client and supplier information by utilizing QR code thought. Customer is proposition of closest best specialist relationship as shown by client intrigue and recognize spam master network. Joint efforts association suggests the commitment and association of plan and direct structures to control the improvement and land masterminding of foul materials, work-in-process, and completed inventories at the most unimportant all out expense. Composed endeavours solidifies the relationship of enthusiasm organizing, stock, transportation, and the mix of warehousing, materials managing, and packaging, all joined all through an arrangement of workplaces
