Blind Signatures Based Secured E-Healthcare System

Abstract: The E-Health cloud paradigm has evolved from the exchange and enhanced sharing of valuable information between various medical institutions, hospital systems and respective care providers. The aim of this system is to reduce the cost and making of efficient process. Preserving privacy of the health record and identity of a patient is one of the prominent concern of the cloud based paradigm. Major bottleneck for a wider reach to potential usages of the cloud is the fear of privacy loss. Patients may not trust the provider of the services and may hesitate to disclose their identities. One of the possible solution is to uphold their anonymity and securely clear their queries. Keeping the aforementioned points in to consideration, in this study, we propose an approach to preserve the identity. In addition to this, the proposed scheme holds the privacy of the patients using a flexible and adaptive approach in the paradigm through an authentication scheme that meets anonymity.

ESIPT based dual fluorescent sensor and concentration dependent reconfigurable boolean operators

Abstract: Probes 1 and 2 (CH3CN–H2O; 4:1) at pH 7.0 ± 0.1 (10 mM, HEPES) selectively bind with Zn2+ ions and give a new emission band at 490 nm. These can estimate 20 nM Zn2+ ions as the lowest detection limit. The determination of Zn2+ ions by probe 1 is not interfered by the presence of other metal ions viz. Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Ag+, Hg2+. However, in the case of probe 2 Cu2+ causes only the fluorescence quenching. In acetonitrile, the addition of different concentrations of Cu2+ (2 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM) and a fixed amount of F− (25 μM) to a solution of 2 (0.25 μM, CH3CN) elaborates Cu2+ ion concentration dependent NOR, INH and AND Boolean operators with three distinct emission channels at 585, 515 and 400 nm, respectively.

Pentachlorophenol degradation by Pseudomonas stutzeri CL7 in the secondary sludge of pulp and paper mill.

Abstract: A pentachlorophenol (PCP) mineralizing bacterium was isolated from the secondary sludge of pulp and paper mill and identifi as Pseudomonas stutzeri strain CL7. This isolate used PCP as its sole source of carbon and energy and was capable of degrading th compound as indicated by stoichiometric release of chloride and biomass formation. P. stutzeri (CL7) was able to mineralize a hi concentration of PCP (600 mg/L) than any previously reported Pseudomonad with PCP as sole carbon source. As the concentrati of PCP increased from 50 to 600 mg/L, the reduction in the cell growth was observed and the PCP degradation was more than 90 in all studied concentrations. This isolate was able to remove 66.8% of PCP from the secondary sludge of pulp and paper mill wh supplemented with 100 mg/L of PCP and grown for two weeks. This study showed that the removal efficiency of PCP by CL7 w found to be very effective and can be used in PCP remediation of pulp paper mill waste in the environment.
