Chemical reaction effects on MHD rotating fluid over a vertical plate embedded in porous medium with heat source

Abstract: Several boundary layer flowswith heat and mass transfer problems do arise from a pebble bed nuclear reactor system. In this study, we examine the combined effects of variable thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion, diffusion thermo, heat source, chemical reaction and fluid rotation on hydromagnetic mixed convective flow with heat and mass transfer over a vertical plate embedded in porous medium. The governing partial differential equations have been transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by employing the similarity transformation and solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with a shooting technique. Pertinent results obtained are presented graphically and in tabular form with respect to variation in various thermophysical parameters. A comparison of the special case of this study with the previously published work shows excellent agreement.

Evaluating the role of a trypsin inhibitor from soap nut (Sapindus trifoliatus L. Var. Emarginatus) seeds against larval gut proteases, its purification and characterization

Abstract: Background The defensive capacities of plant protease Inhibitors (PI) rely on inhibition of proteases in insect guts or those secreted by microorganisms; and also prevent uncontrolled proteolysis and offer protection against proteolytic enzymes of pathogens.

Design of low leakage process tolerant SRAM cell

Abstract: In this paper, a novel 8 Transistor Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell is proposed to reduce the static power introduced by sub threshold and gate leakages, thus reducing the total power dissipation. The power dissipation of the proposed cell in standby mode has reduced considerably, compared to the conventional 6 Transistor SRAM cell and NC SRAM cell. A better stability is achieved in this cell under different process corners. The proposed technique reduces the standby power to 6.22 nW, which is almost negligible compared to that of a 6T SRAM cell (4.23 uW). Hence, the proposed cell is more suitable for standby mode operation. The total power of the proposed cell is reduced by 25.6% and the read-stability is increased by 40% compared to the conventional 6T SRAM cell. Cadence (Virtuoso) tools are used for simulation with gpdk 45-nm process technology.

Optimization of culture conditions of streptomyces carpaticus (mtcc-11062) for the production of antimicrobial compound

Abstract: Objective: To improve the antimicrobial compound productivity of Streptomyces carpaticus (MTCC-11062) by optimizing its physical and chemical parameters Methods: Streptomyces carpaticus (MTCC-11062) was isolated from Visakhapatnam sea coast of Bay of Bengal and was screened for its antimicrobial activity by using agar well diffusion method. To improve the production of antimicrobial compound the medium composition and physical parameters were optimized and its productivity was studied against Bacillus cereus (MTCC 430) Escherichia coli (MTCC 443), Candida albicans (MTCC 227) obtained from MTCC, Chandigarh, India. Results: Optimum growth of mycelium and antimicrobial compound production occurred at pH 7.2, agitation 180 rpm and temperature 30 0 C with glucose 10g/L, soyabean meal 2.5g/L, K 2 HPO 4 2g/L, MgSO 4 1g/L, NaCl 7.5g/L and trace salts. Conclusion: The optimization of cultural conditions proposed in this paper has effetely improved the antimicrobial compound productivity of Streptomyces carpaticus (MTCC-11062).
