Abstract

The Internet-based security soft-i-robot is modeled using soft computing paradigms for problem solving and decision-making in complex and ill-structured situations. Soft-i-robot monitors the workspace with multimedia devices and sensor using an internet application program. The model has sensory subsystems such as intruder detection which, detects intruder, captures image and sends to server, and an obstacle avoidance unit to detect the objects in the path of the mobile robot. These multiple features with hybrid soft computing techniques depart the developed Soft-i-robot from the existing developments, proving that the streaming technology-based approach greatly improves the sensibility of robot tele-operation. The relatively powerful online robots available today provoke the simple question, in terms of two competing goals: recognition accuracy and computing time. Improved recognition accuracy and reduced computing time for face recognition of the intruder is obtained using morphological shared weight neural network. To obtain a collision-free optimized path, soft-i-robot uses derivative free genetic algorithm. With rapid expansion of robotics and soft computing paradigms, robotic technology touches upon self understanding of humans, socio-economic, legal and ethical issues leading to improved performance rate and information processing capabilities.

Abstract

The Tertiary carbonaceous clay deposits of Kerala abound in iron sulfide minerals such as pyrite and marcasite. Pyrite is confined mainly to the Quilon beds and marcasite to the Warkalli beds. Manganese, Zn, Pb, Ni, Co, Cd and Cu are substantially high in marcasite than in pyrite. Trace metals (except Zn) are markedly high in the carbonaceous clays of the Warkalli section than in those of the Pozhikkara section. The observed variation in the trace metal contents of sulfide minerals as well as carbonaceous clays of the two sections might have resulted from differences in depositional environments.

Abstract

Evaluating acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) as the target enzyme for the treatment of hyperlipidemia can lead to the detection of new inhibitors that can potentially be optimized as lipid lowering agents and could also form a novel method of screening a large number of plant constituents. Inhibition of ACC2 may prevent lipid-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, making the enzyme an attractive pharmaceutical target. The crystal structures of the biotin carboxylase (BC) domain of human ACC2 (PDB ID: 3GLK) and carboxyl transferase (CT) domain of human ACC2 (PDB ID: 3FF6) have been selected for molecular targets for Insilico studies of some potent phytochemicals like hydroxycitric acid, terrestrosin, forskolin and EGC. The interactions between the compounds and crystal structures of the enzymes have been performed using Accelrys Discovery Studio 2.1 Ligandfit protocol. Findings from the docking procedure indicate different binding modes of the compounds , further more the studies reveal that EGC was found to be a ideal inhibitor for both ACC2 Domains, thus can be suggested as a better inhibitor for lipid lowering .

Abstract

There is an increased incidence of hip fractures with aging due to decrease in muscle mass around the hip and osteoporosis. This is becoming more common as the proportion of elderly people in the population has been steadily increasing. Our study shall aim to evaluate the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes of bipolar hemi-arthroplasty and compare them to those treated by dynamic hip screw fixation, for communized, osteoporotic, displaced trochanteric fractures in the elderly population.

Keywords
