The Domestic Culture Shown by Valluvar

Thirukkural, the sweet, living entity of the Tamil man, is divided into three divisions, namely, virtue, wealth, and pleasure, and consists of 133 chapters and 1330 couplets in nine parts. Thirukkural is translated into more than 110 languages. Manakkudavar was the first to write the foreword to this book, which has been translated into the second most widely translated language in the world. Nevertheless, Parimelazhagar's foreword is hailed as the best text. Malaiyatthuvasamakanar Gnanaprakasam published this book in Thanjavur in 1812. Thirukkural has been praised by Leo Tolstoy, Bernard Shaw, G.U. Pope, Veerama Munivar, and many others. Bharathi said that Tamil Nadu has become famous by giving Valluvan to the world, and Bharathidasan praised that this world received fame due to having Valluvan. This article is intended to examine the cultural records found in the chapter on Married Life in Domestic Virtue in such an excellent Thirukkural

Effects of Nanosilica Powder from Rice Hull Ash on Seed Germination of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

open5noNanosilica powders were synthesized from rice hull ash (RHA) and their effects on seed germination of tomato plants were investigated. Synthesized nanosilica powder was subjected to various characterization studies for identification of the size, structure, morphology and elemental composition. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that the nanoparticles were in agglomerated form with an average diameter of 46.5 nm and 40 nm, respectively. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) indicated that nanosilica powder is amorphous in nature. The nanosilica powder was also characterized as having a purity of 98.33% using EDXRF spectroscopy and having a surface area 172.19 m2 g-1 using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The study showed that nanosilica powder significantly improved germination parameters such as germination percentage, germination index, vigor index, mean germination time and average shoot length of tomato but not fresh weight and dry weight. The best results were found at 5gL-1 nanosilica powder. The increase over untreated control seeds was 22% for germination percentage, 47% for germination index, 92% for vigor index and 55% for average shoot length with the addition of 5 gL-1 nanosilica powder. Nanosilica powder-mediated improvement of seed germination in tomato suggests a potential application of nanosilica powder in seed germination of the plant. The study can serve as theoretical basis for further agricultural applications of nanosilica powder.openMaria Morissa Lu, Diana Marie De Silva, Engelbert Peralta, Alvin .

CONVERSION OF SUGARS INTO 5-HMF

At present, fossil fuels are playing the major role to meet the energy requirements of the world. The large consumption of fossil fuels creates so many environmental problems, such as green-house gases have motivated the search for alternative, renewable fuel options. Biomass is one of the few resources that have the potential to meet the challenges of sustainable and green energy systems. Current biomass resources comprise primarily industrial waste materials such as sawdust or pulp process wastes, hog fuel, forest residues, clean wood waste from landfills, and agricultural prunings and residues from plants such as lignocellulosic materials. There are already a considerable range of chemical building blocks derived from renewable resources. Among them, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile platform chemical for the synthesis of a wide range of industrially important materials, including biofuels

Compressibility of the nitridosilicate SrYb[Si4N7] and the oxonitridoaluminosilicates MYb[Si4−xAlxOxN7−x] (x = 2; M = Sr, Ba)

The compressibilities of the nitridosilicate SrYb[Si4N7] and the oxonitridoaluminosilicates MYb[Si4−xAlxOxN7−x] (x = 2; M = Sr, Ba) were investigated by in situ high-pressure X-ray powder diffraction. Pressures up to 42 GPa were generated using the diamond–anvil cell technique. The title compounds are structurally stable to the highest pressure obtained. A fit of a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation-of-state to the p–V data results in V0 = 302.91 (6) Å3, B0 = 176 (2) GPa and B′ = 4.4 (2) for SrYb[Si4N7]; V0 = 310.4 (1) Å3, B0 = 161 (2) GPa and B′ = 4.6 (2) for SrYb[Si4−xAlxOxN7−x]; and V0 = 317.3 (5) Å3, B0 = 168 (2) GPa and B′ = 4.7 (2) for BaYb[Si4−xAlxOxN7−x]. While the linear compressibilities of the a and c axes of BaYb[Si4−xAlxOxN7−x] are very similar up to 30 GPa, distinct differences were observed for SrYb[Si4N7] and SrYb[Si4−xAlxOxN7−x], with the c axis being the most compressible axis. In all of the investigated compounds the bulk compressibility is dominated by the compression behaviour of the tetrahedral network, while the size of the substituted cation plays a minor role

ECOSENSE: An Energy Consumption Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

AbstractThis paper ‘ECOSENSE’ proposes a medium access protocol derived for wireless sensor networks. Energy is a precious resource for wireless sensor networks, as sensor nodes are powered by small batteries. Various approaches have been proposed so far, to increase the life of wireless sensor networks. With the goal of developing a practical, efficient energy consumption protocol for wireless sensor networks, we introduced a threshold policy for the nodes in the entire network, where the sensors are distributed activated, whenever they are required. We calculated the life period of sensors and using priority levels and threshold values, we prolong the lifespan of sensor nodes. Scheduling is done according to the remaining life period of sensor nodes. We compare our algorithm with the existing S-MAC protocol and found considerably better due to its reconfigurable activation policy

Path based load balancing for data center networks using SDN

Due to the increase in the number of users on the internet and the number of applications that is available in the cloud makes Data Center Networking (DCN) has the backbone for computing. These data centre requires high operational cost and also experience the link failures and congestions often. Hence the solution is to use Software Defined Networking (SDN) based load balancer which improves the efficiency of the network by distributing the traffic across multiple paths to optimize the efficiency of the network. Traditional load balancers are very expensive and inflexible. These SDN load balancers do not require costly hardware and can be programmed, which it makes it easier to implement user-defined algorithms and load balancing strategies. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient load balancing technique by considering different parameters to maintain the load efficiently using Open FlowSwitches connected to ONOS controller
