DNA Microrray: A Miniaturized High Throughput Technology |
||||||||||||||
Since last decade or so, new types of experiments are changing the way to analyze complex research problems in biological systems at mini levels and with much simplicity. Such type of experiments called as high throughput experiments use automated technology along with conventional methods. The main advantage of such technology is ‗parallelization' i.e. several thousands of tests can be run simultaneously rather than doing them one by one. One of such miniaturized technology known as DNA microarray enables us to study simultaneously the behavior of all the genes of an organism under different conditions in a single go. Over the period of time, different types of microarrays have been developed to answer different biological questions. In fact, microarray technology is a fast approach to study thousands of DNA and protein molecules simultaneously. A DNA microarray (also commonly known as gene chip, DNA chip, or biochip) is a collection of microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid support such as glass chip. A DNA microarray works by exploiting the ability of a given mRNA/cDNA molecule to bind specifically to, or hybridize to, the DNA template from which it originated. By this technology, scientists determine the expression levels of hundreds or thousands of genes within a cell by simply measuring the amount of mRNA/cDNA bound to each site on the array in a single experiment rather than going by gene-by-gene analysis. Using DNA Microarray analysis coupled with computational methods, the nature and the function or molecular mechanism of action of different genes of an organism can be investigated in one go. The present paper provides a basic overview on various types of DNA microarrays used in various biological endeavors.

Network Lifetime Enhancement for Wireless Body Area Networks |
The increasing use of wireless networks and the constant miniaturization of electrical devices have empowered the development of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WBAN is designed to operate autonomously by establishing a wireless communication link. Various medical sensors and appliances are attached or implanted inside and outside of a human body. The media access control (MAC) layer plays an important role in deciding the energy efficiency. We do the research on the adaptive energy efficient Medium Access Control protocol used in WBAN, so to increase the network lifetime. The proposed protocols show increase in common node remaining energy, cluster node remaining energy, BAN co-or node remaining energy and decreasing in delay. This is achieved because of dynamic duty cycle and priorities based message passing schemes.

Simulation of Two-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer in Shell-Tubes Heat Exchanger | ||||||||||||||
Heat transfer of two-phase flow in shell and tubes heat exchanger (HEx.) were investigated
experimentally and simulated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for a two-phase flow. Heat transfer
to flow of mixture (air–water) through tubes side heating by a flow of hot water in shell side was considered in
this study. A computer model using flow simulation of SolidWorks® Premium 2014 edition has been developed
and performed for a studied heat exchanger by applying several operating conditions. Important flow quantities
of mixture of (air-water) such as void fraction, liquid velocity, pressure drop and temperature distribution were
estimated at different inlet flow rates.Comparison of the obtained results of temperature, pressure drop and
overall heat transfer coefficients show good agreement with experimental data. The results contour plots reveal
that an appearance of the gas phase into the liquid stream play an important role in the distribution of phase,
velocity, pressure, and temperature in tubes of the shell-tubes HEx. Results generally indicate to that the
increasing of overall heat transfer coefficient, and pressures drop as ReSG increases for a fixed low ReSL due to
increase of turbulence and mixing action in the water stream as result of a continuous interaction of the twophase
in tubes of HEx. Thus, the performance of shell and tubes heat exchanger is more efficient and improved for two-phase more than one phase flow in tubes. So, the simulation model by a CFD has more ability to capture and the interpretation for main flow features compared to an experimental model.

A Novel Method based on AND logic for Frequent, Infrequent and Non-present Item set mining in Transactional Data bases | ||||||||||||||
Association rule mining is one of the most important techniques used for finding the correlations
among different fields in large databases.it finds the frequent, infrequent and non-present item sets from the
relational data bases. Most of the traditional techniques are useful in finding the frequent item sets. But
infrequent patterns and non-present patterns plays vital role in different fields such as marketing, medical, fraud
detection and etc. A new method is proposed which finds all frequent, infrequent and non-present item sets. This
method contains two steps. In first step the frequency table is constructed based on the given transactional data
base. In the second step the algorithm forwarded for finding the frequent, infrequent and non-present item sets.
This method is based on AND logic and it works efficiently in finding the patterns when compared to the
traditional methods.

Deciphering the Language of Space at the Salman Mosque, Bandung, Indonesia through the Multi-Sensory Approach | ||||||||||||||
Architecture is a man-made artefact that contains rich communicative messages. As in any other languages, the architectural language contained within the communicative messages includes semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic components. The semantic one reveals signs and meanings; the syntactic one shows order and consistency; while the pragmatic one is the user's interpretation of process and details. All of these could only be understood if people occupying a space are willing to open their hearts to appreciate them. In the context of a place of worship, understanding the language of space can help users develop their heart's readiness to conduct religious activities as soon as they enter the building grounds. This research aims to decipher the language of space at the Salman Mosque based on the user's spatial experience. The Salman Mosque was chosen as the object of study because it appears in the face of modern architecture which challenges people's ideas about how mosque architecture can be designed. Since the architecture does not fit the traditional expectations, the Salman Mosque is accused of having lost many its essential values. The qualitative research method was used in this study. It included asking users to appreciate the mosque using all of their senses (the multi-sensory approach), converting their experience into a structured text and analyzing it. The results showed that even with its modern appearance, the Salman Mosque's communicative messages can be interpreted by users.

Ethanol Production by Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation using Co-culture and Maximising Efficiency by Channelizing the By-Products and Its Subsequent Application as an Alternative Fuel. | ||||||||||||||
Our aim is to design a bio-waste to ethanol converter which is a portable ethanol-micro refinery system that is suitable for the present scenario that is cost effective, safe and easy to operate. The intension is to develop a consumer friendly product that can produce an environment friendly alternative fuel form cellulosic waste thus serve the purpose of recycling as well. The way ethanol converter works is simple. The user gives the waste (cellulosic waste) to the fermentation tank. The sensors determine the amount of water needed for fermentation and temperature is maintained by heating and cooling devices. After the fermentation is done, distillation is followed to separate alcohol and then this alcohol is sent to the storage units.
