Abstract

License plate detection and recognition is the one of the major aspects of applying the image processing techniques towards intelligent transport systems. Detecting the exact location of the license plate from the vehicle image at very high speed is the one of the most crucial step for vehicle plate detection systems. This paper proposes an algorithm to detect license plate region and edge processing both vertically and horizontally to improve the performance of the systems for high speed applications. Throughout the detection and recognition the original images are detected, filtered both vertically and horizontally, and threshold based on bounding box method. The whole system was tested on more than twenty five cars with various license plates in Indian style at different weather conditions. The overall accuracy rate of success recognition is 93% at sunlight conditions, 72% at cloudy, 71% at shaded weather conditions.

Abstract

Herbal medicine is the oldest form of health care known to mankind and it will not be an exaggeration to say that use of herbal drug for human health care is probably as ancient as mankind. Prosopis is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. The plant is also known as Algarrobo. The plant is found in the arid and semi-arid regions with ground water of between 3 and 10 m below the surface. It contains apigenin 8-glucoside, apigenin 6-glucoside, quercitin 3-glucoside, quercitin 3-rhamnoside, quercitin 3-rutinoside, and traces of myricetin 3-rhamnoside, luteolin, kaempferol-3-OMe quercetin, and quercitin 3-OMe. This plant is used for shade, timber, fuel, and concentrated forage for food, High protein content of the seeds suggests that they may be useful as protein supplement to poor grass. The pods are used as food. It is a good source of nectar and pollen.The bark exudes an amber-colored translucent gum used in mucilage and an ingredient in medicine. Water infused with the mesquite leaves can be used as eye drops. A ten percent infusion of the leaves shows some antibiotic activity.

Abstract

The protein-ligand interaction plays a significant role in the structural based drug designing. In our research work we have taken the cyclo-oxygenase receptor (COX). The receptor was docked to the commercially available NSAID (Non Steroid Anti Inflammatory Drugs) Celecoxib and Naproxen Protein Structure Modeling Method, using INSIGHTII software. We tried to improve the binding efficiency and steric compatibility of Celecoxib and Naproxen against COX receptor. Several modifications were made to the probable functional groups which were interacting with receptor molecule. Analogs of the drug molecule were prepared using MODELLER9v1chemsketch and docked using INSIGHT II docking software. The modified drugs was sketched using chemsketch were found to be better than the convectional drugs available. Further from this work we can improve the steric compatibility and then Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) properties of the analogs can be analyzed using Insilco ADME tools.
