This is an innovative idea to design a dynamic database to hold and dissimilate information, particularly related to healthcare industry. If implemented, the idea would help healthcare industry by saving time and expand its horizon in all levels. It is recommended to collect details of doctors dynamically from cell phone service providers who are in an area and provide the same to stake holders through Smart phone (Android) applications.Keywords

Different fungal species, isolated in the laboratory, were tested for their dye degrading ability in still culture at various incubation periods. The study revealed the effective decolourisation of Orange-11 and some commercially used dyes like Dri green 2B1 and Dri brill red 4BL1. Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus sp. Caused 100% and 92% degradation respectively in 10 days incubation in still culture containing Orange 11 dye. Dri green 2B1 was effectively decolourised by most of the fungal species causing more than 70% decolourisation in 10 days. Dye decolourisation, an ability of some fungal species, suggests that they were promising fungal strains for the treatment of textile industry waste waters.- Power Flow Analysis of Simulink IEEE 57 Bus Test System Model using PSAT

In this paper, we have developed an IEEE 57 bus test system model for conducting the power flow analysis. Simulink library based editor in Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) is used for designing the model. MATLAB is used as a platform for running the PSAT software package. Default Newton-Raphson method in PSAT is used for conducting the power flow analysis. The algorithm for designing the Simulink IEEE 57 bus test system model is developed and the power flow has conducted. All the results are tabulated and the necessary graphs were drawn for the voltage, angle, active, and the reactive power for all the 57 buses. All the results are analyzed and the conclusion has given for the validity of this computational power flow analysis.Keywords

60 pus samples collected from Coimbatore Medical College (CMC) were processed for the isolation of Candida albicans, among which 24 (40%) were found to be positive. Anticandidal susceptibility pattern revealed that the strains were highly sensitive to fluconazole, ketoconazole; moderately sensitive to clotrimazole and but resistant to nystatin. When the same strains were evaluated for their susceptibility towards aqueous and diethyl ether herbal extracts from Allium sativum, Punica granatum, Syzium aromaticum and Cassia auriculata the results were interesting that they are highly sensitive. The maximum inhibition was found to be 49 mm with Punica granatum followed by 29mm with Allium sativum. The GC-MS analysis of both the extracts revealed the bioactive principles responsible for anticandidal activity.Keywords

Thirty wheat samples procured from storage units in different zones of Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India were processed to isolate the predominant fungal contaminants. Heterogeneous group of fungi were enumerated by standard plate count, among which four predominant organisms namely Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus tamorii, Rhizopus spp. and Fusarium spp. were identified by macroscopic and microscopic observations. Since reputed journal reports, continuously highlight the impact of mycotoxin production in wheat by Aspergillus flavus, the isolate was chosen and processed to examine the production of aflatoxin and further analysis and confirmation was done using Albino rats and analytical techniques such as thin layer chromatography, immunodiffusion and Immunoelectrophoresis. TLC revealed the presence of G2 type of mycotoxin at a concentration of 15 ppb.Keywords

Bacillus sps-26 isolated and characterized from dairy effluents was challenged for its ability to produce alkaline proteinase using different temperature and pH as bioparameters with a chemically defined medium containing 5% casein. The maximum enzyme production was achieved at 30.C at pH 10, which was assayed using Genov method. Although moderate enzyme level was obtained at 10.C, it can pave the way for its affordable use in detergent industries.Keywords

A study was carried out on yeast fermentation of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) using baker’s yeast (Sacchromyces cerevisiae). The fermented sugar syrup (broth) was analyzed for yeast growth, alcohol content, reducing sugar, pH, soluble solids, volatile acids and total acidity using standard protocols. Yeast growth was also monitored. Results showed that pH values decreased with increased total acidity with concomitant increase in yeast growth (biomass) and alcohol contents of the fermenting sugar syrup. There were decreases in soluble solid contents, refractive indices of the fermenting medium. The reducing sugar in the Ipomoea batatas was lowest after 48 h of saccharification using Sacchromyces cerevisiae.The value recorded was 132 to 87 mg/100ml. Volatile acids (as acetic acids), increased with alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation of sugar syrup from Ipomoea batatas is associated with physical and chemical changes that occur in other form of fermentation alongside increased in biomass. The fermented Ipomoea batatas yielded ethanol contents of 11.5 to 53.0% (v/v).Keywords

Biomonitors indicate the microbiological quality of water. Though E. coli is a microbiological indicator, it cannot be considered as a perfect one. In this regard, attempts for finding a new indicator of faecal pollution in place of E. coli was carried out by performing a comparative study between E. coli and Clostridium perfringens as faecal indicator in shrimp farms. The presence of these organisms was determined by evaluating the brackish water and shrimp samples from various areas of Cochin, using MPN technique. The effect of disinfectant chlorine was examined over these organisms which revealed the sensitive nature of E. coli. Clostridium perfringens was found to be highly resistant in comparison with E. coli and thus suggesting it as a better indicator of faecal contamination in brackish water to evaluate the microbial quality of shrimp farms than E. coli.

We find the usefulness of computers in every field including medical field. Scanning the affected part has become a standard study. Diagnosing a disease at the right time, i.e. early detection, from the study of images enables the physician to take right decision and provide proper treatment to the patient. With the alarming growth of population, it is difficult for every individual patient to get a second opinion from medical expert. In these situations, computer-aided automatic diagnosis system will be much helpful. Diabetic retinopathy is a disorder that arises from increase in blood glucose level. Based on the severity, it has been distinguished into four stages. Diagnosing diabetic retinopathy at an early stage from retinal images and providing proper treatment will save the patient from severe vision loss. The proposed method adopts hybridized GLCM features and wavelet features to classify the fundus images according to the severity of the disease. The method is tested with fundus images collected from Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Dataset.Keywords
