Biodegradable anionic acrylic resin based hollow microspheres of moderately water soluble drug Rosiglitazone Maleate: preparation and in vitro characterization

Abstract: Background: Most of floating systems have an inbuilt limitation of high variability in the gastric retention time, invariably affecting the bioavailability of drug. An oral sustained release system is formulated to increase gastric residence time by a different way like floating.Aim: The objective of present investigation was to prepare hollow microspheres of Rosiglitazone Maleate in order to increase its bioavailability and reduce the dose frequency.Method: Hollow microspheres of Rosiglitazone Maleate were prepared by O/W emulsion-solvent diffusion technique using biodegradable anionic acrylic resin as a polymer. A mixture of dichloromethane and ethanol (1:1) used as solvent system for drug and polymer with water containing polyvinyl alcohol and salt as external aqueous phase.Result: Entrapment efficiency of drug was increased upto 89.71% as a result of salting out effect. The morphology of Eudragit S100 based microspheres in comparison to Ethyl cellulose and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) was fo...

A review: Issues and Challenges in Big Data from Analytic and Storage perspectives

Abstract: There is an up-and-coming topic in the field of computer science and technology that is getting a lot of publications these days and that is Big Data The term Big data is referring for a collection of large and complex data sets which is very hard to process by database management tools or data processing applications The volumes are in the range of Exabyte and above Most of companies and government agencies are dealing with it in this current speedy moving technology environment Stand -alone applications as well as today’s newer web-based processes are generating large amount of data This raise some issues that has to be considered when dealing with big data Some of the issues are storage, management and processing This data also creates new challenges which make the framework based developers to come up with solutions to the problems They introduced different frameworks for the storage, management and processing of big data that are scalable and portable with fault tolerance capabilities Newer technologies for the analysis of such large amount data that is complex to handle are also introduced These challenges include Privacy and Security, Scale, and Heterogeneity to mention a few This paper reviews the Issues and Challenges of Big Data from Data Analytic and Storage Perspectives We also briefly discussed about the frameworks and databases that can be used to tackle the challenges that is facing Big Data world

Facial emotion recognition for human-machine interaction using hybrid DWT-SFET feature extraction technique

Abstract: Facial emotion recognition is the most significant parameter for an efficacious Human Machine Interaction (HMI). It plays a crucial role in interpreting and communicating with the people who have speaking impairments as well as a medium to understand and communicate with infants who cannot emote their feelings verbally. In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature extraction technique consisting of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) accompanied by Shape Feature Extraction Technique (SFET).The features extracted were tested on standard classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbourhood (KNN) classifiers. Facial images from JAFFE and Cohn-Kennedy databases were utilized for training as well as testing. The work shows a very high facial emotion recognition rate of 93.94% and 91.8% with the proposed method for JAFFE and Cohn-Kanade databases respectively.

Prevalence of reactive hyperplastic lesions of the gingiva in the Western Indian population

Abstract: Aim: The aim of the present study was to study the prevalence of reactive hyperplastic lesions of the gingiva in the western Indian population. Materials and Methods: A review of biopsy records of localized reactive hyperplastic lesions of the gingiva during the period from September 2007 to December 2013 was conducted from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. The lesions were studied according to the available clinical data regarding patient's age, sex, location, and size of the lesion. Results: The prevalence of reactive gingival lesions was 17.4%. The majority of the lesions were focal fibrous hyperplasia (FFH) (40.9%), followed by pyogenic granuloma (30%) with a female predominance. The lesions were commonly seen during the 2 nd and 3 rd decades of life. The lesions were equally distributed in both the jaws and the anterior region was the most commonly involved site. Conclusion: Focal reactive lesions are rather uncommon lesions of the oral cavity. The present study showed some difference in age and gender distribution, with FFH being the most common lesion in the north Indian population

Global Development of Mushroom Biotechnolgy

Abstract: There are At least 12000 species of fungi that can be considered as mushrooms with at least 2000 species showing various degrees of edibility. To date, only about 35 mushrooms species have been cultivated commercially, and about 20 are currently on an industrial scale. The majority of these cultivated species are both edible and posses certain medicinal properties [6]. Mushrooms are in prime focus in the food industry for their multi-functional benefits. They are gaining popularity owing to their high nutritional values and are gradually approaching a “super food” status. Mushrooms are a rich source of proteins and have very low or zero fat and cholesterol, and hence are widely accepted in most of the regions of the world. Increase in the consumption of processed food across the world is one of the major driving factors of the mushroom market. Being a promising and profitable business, mushroom cultivation is widely adopted by growers. Factors such as R&D and innovations to enhance the acceptability and continuous improving technologies to increase mushroom shelf-life are also projected to drive the mushroom market in the next five years. Technological developments in the mushroom industry in general have witnessed increasing production capacities, innovations in cultivation technologies, improvements to final mushroom goods, and utilization of mushrooms' natural qualities for environmental benefits, mainly due to contributions from developing countries such as China, India, and Vietnam. However, there is always the need to maintain current trends and to continue to seek out new opportunities. The challenge is to recognize opportunities such as increasing consumption capabilities with the increase in world population and to take advantage of this by promoting the consumption of mushrooms. Those countries, in which mushroom cultivation is not yet well established, will find difficulty to cope with the new competitive circumstances generated by globalisation. Some insights into biotechnological development of mushroom production in the world are reviewed in this paper.
