Abstract

Objectives: Increase in traffic density in the world results in more and more congestion, air pollution and accidents. Hence Intelligent Transport System (ITS) has been emerged as a solution to various transport related issues. The aim of this research paper is to conduct systematic analysis on ITS. Methods/Statistical Analysis: ITS is defined as the set of applications which are advance and aim to apply intelligent information and communication technologies in order to provide services for transport and traffic management. ITS have combined various technologies such as Data collection, Communication, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Database Management. By combining these information technologies ITS have provided various applications such as Traffic control, Fault detection systems, In-vehicle information and navigation systems and driver assistance systems. Findings: We have considered the most relevant published work from 2008 onward relative to our objective from different popular digital libraries. We have summarized this work into issues in ITS and techniques used to solve them. Application/Improvements: It has been found that by combining various new technologies such as agent based computing, cloud computing, VANETS etc. ITS have become very efficient to solving transport related issues in smart cities.

Abstract

Objective: The main objective of this research article is to study how watermarking has solved issues evolved in medical management system through various techniques. Method/Analysis: With the advent of technology, medical management system has improved to great extent by sharing medical data for clinical diagnosis, treatment, education, research and other applications. The common uses of watermarking in medical image management system are safe archiving, memory storage, captioning, authentication, controlled access retrieval and effective distribution of information. . In order to conduct the survey, various digital libraries have been explored and research work of last five years is taken into consideration for analysis. Findings: Based on the analysis, the identified techniques have been classified into three main broad categories and few subcategories. The three main categories are: 1. Tamper Detection and authentication/Integrity/Security 2. EPR hiding 3. Hybrid/ all-in-one solution. Novelty/improvement: Later on for further analysis and understanding we have presented the findings in Table 1.

Keywords

Abstract

A bacterial strain RMLRT03 with ability to decolorize textile dye Acid Orange dye was isolated from textile effluent contaminated soil of Tanda, Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh (India). The decolorization studies were performed in Bushnell and Haas medium (BHM) amended with Acid Orange dye. The bacterial strain was identified as Staphylococcus hominis on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence. The bacterial strain exhibited good decolorization ability with glucose and yeast extract supplementation as cosubstrate in static conditions. The optimal condition for the decolorization of Acid Orange dye by Staphylococcus hominis RMLRT03 strain were at pH 7.0 and 35oC in 60 h of incubation. The bacterial strain could tolerate high concentrations of Acid Orange dye up to 600 mg l‑1. The high decolorizing activity under natural environmental conditions indicates that the bacterial strain has practical application in the treatment of dye containing wastewaters.

Abstract

In the recent past, one of the main environmental issues is the contamination of textile dye wastes. The toxicity of dyes poses adverse effects on the flora and fauna of the ecosystem. The present study aimed to isolate bacteria that decolourize crystal violet dye, optimization of various environmental factors for effective decolourization, and phytotoxicity analysis. Out of 13 isolated bacteria, a single isolate was able to grow at 250 mg/L crystal violet dye concentration in a synthetic medium and identified as Aeromonas caviae MT-1 strain (accession number; LC720408) using morphological, biochemical and molecular analyses. Presumably, this is the first report of crystal violet dye decolourization by a native Aeromonas caviae isolate. In this study, after a 72-hour incubation period, a maximum of 98.0% dye decolourization was observed at neutral pH and 35°C with 5% v/v bacterial culture under static culture conditions. Dye decolourization was inhibited to a significant degree by the rising of its concentration. UV-Vis spectra analysis of samples before and after decolourization showed the possible degradation of crystal violet dye by A. caviae. The strain MT-1 was also tolerant to toxic heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and chromium. Phytotoxicity tests revealed that decolourized dye products inhibited Vigna radiata growth less than the un-decolourized dye solution. The findings revealed that a native multi-metal tolerant A. caviae MT-1 isolate could decolourize crystal violet dye rapidly, and possibly have the ability for extensive treatment of dyecontaminated waste.
