Bioprospecting of Neem for Antimicrobial Activity against Soil Microbes

The Present studies were carried to evaluate the antimicrobial activity against soil microbes which causes corrosion on buried metal in acidic mediated soil by agar well diffusion using aqueous and ethanol extract of Neem leaves. These plants were subjected to solvent extraction with water and ethanol on increasing the polarity to identify and isolate the antimicrobial active materials. Crude aqueous extract of Neem has significantly inhibited the important microbes which causing corrosion such as S. Aureus, Streptococcus, B. Subtitles, Lactobacillus, Proteus, Corynebacterium, Pseudomonas, A.niger, Mucor and Desulphovibro sp. Results of the present studies investigation suggest that Neem is important effective plant for further work on isolating and characterizing of antimicrobial active materials.

Case study: Climatic Changes in Three Major Cities

Climate change refers to changes in modern climate, including the rise in average surface temperature. Using the obtained meteorological data such as temperature, wind & precipitation and comparing satellite images of these 3 cities, shows an increase in average temperature and decrease in precipitation over the years, it also shows a rapid decrease in green cover in all three cities. Human activities such as deforestation and exploitation of other natural resources are one of the leading causes of the rapid changes in climate and its effects over the past century. To get a general idea of the people’s perception of all this, a survey was conducted by us and the statistics of the survey is analyzed.

Strategic Memory Alzheimer’s Rehabilitation Training (Smart) Memory Program: Temporary Improvement For Mci/Vci Via Systematic Novel Cognitive Exercise

Dementia is a growing worldwide phenomenon, impacting more than six million people in the United States. Despite its high projected prevalence, it is a significantly under-represented phenomenon, with estimates ranging from 15-25% of the general population. The effect of the aging of the population and significant increase in life expectancy has combined to catapult dementia into the range of one of most alarming healthcare problems. The SMART Memory Program is a cognitive intervention designed to help promote the reduction of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage dementia. Although it has been found useful in all forms of dementia, it is particularly useful in amnestic-type MCI. A longitudinal study examined 356 clients (220 females, all amnestic-type MCI) across an approximate two-year span. Results revealed an improvement of approximately 3 MoCA points at the conclusion of a program session. Particular improvements were noted in delayed recall. These results were found to be particularly beneficial secondary to the advent of the Kirtan Kriya methodology.

Humidity Sensing Device for Soil, Atmosphere and Other Material with Temperature Intuit

In today’s smart world where the man is rapidly proceeding towards development or advancement of various aspects, considering each and every point of possibility for the resulting outcome, we are forced as well as curious to measure quantities surrounding us. Therefore, we came up with an idea of significant relevance to measure and determine important quantities of physics namely temperature, humidity, and physical moisture. The necessity of measurement of the above parameters in various fields like construction, industries, space and research compelled us to design this instrument with huge dedication. Its simultaneous measurement of all three quantities namely temperature, humidity and moisture make it an outstanding instrument in the industry as well as households.

Triangular Fractal Patch Antenna with Triple Band for Wireless Applications

Recent technology demands multiple band antennas with miniaturized size. Application of Fractals or Fractional geometries to antenna design is a successful approach. The reason behind is the capability of adjusting into compact areas. In this paper, Triangular Fractal (TF), operating between 2-11 GHz. The proposed antenna with the rectangular ground plane is modeled and simulated with Finite Element Method (FEM) based High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and an improvement in performance parameters (Return loss, Bandwidth (BW) and VSWR) is observed with change in design parameters. The proposed antenna is suitable for application in Wi-Fi, terrestrial data links and WLAN etc.

Mitigation of Inrush Current of Transformer using Voltage Sag Compensator

In the power system voltage sag become the important issue for industries. According to the survey, 92% of the interruptions at industrial installations are voltage sag related. In various companies voltage, sag may affect many manufacturers and introduce sufficient losses in the power system. The voltage sag compensator, based on a transformer coupled series connected voltage source inverter, is the most cost-effective solution against voltage sags. A transformer inrush may occur at the start of sag compensator. This over current may damage the inrush protection of the series connected inverter and the transformer output voltage is greatly reduced due to the magnetic saturation. When the compensator restores the load voltage, the flux linkage will be driven to the level of magnetic saturation and severe inrush current occurs. This paper proposes a new technique for mitigating the inrush of the coupling transformer and preserving the output voltage for effective sag compensation.
