Designing the Tender Coconut Punching Tools

Tender coconut water maintains the level of electrolytes and renin in fructose-fed hypertensive rats

Tender coconut water an economical growth medium for the production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli

BACKGROUND Escherichia coli is most widely used prokaryotic expression system for the production of recombinant proteins. Several strategies have been employed for expressing recombinant proteins in E.coli. This includes the development of novel host systems, expression vectors and cost effective media. In this study, we exploit tender coconut water (TCW) as a natural and cheaper growth medium ...

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effect of tender coconut water on carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury in rats.

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of tender coconut water (TCW) were investigated in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-intoxicated female rats. Liver damage was evidenced by the increased levels of serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and decreased levels of serum proteins and by histopathological studies in CCl4-intoxicated rats. Incre...

Inactivation of Escherichia coli in Tender Coconut (Cocos Nucifera L.) Water by Pulsed Light Treatment

India is one of the leading producers of coconuts in the world producing 13 billion nuts per annum. The area is distributed in 18 states and three Union Territories under different agro climatic conditions and a 3000 years tradition in coconut cultivation. About 48% of the total production of coconut in the country is used for edible and religious purposes, 31% for conversion into mill copra, 8...

O on Not Designing Tools

The reader is no doubt well aware of HCI’s emphasis on the analysis of systems in which the computer plays the role of tool. The field encompasses positivist and pragmatic approaches in analyzing the products and the trajectories of use of technology (Coyne, 1995; Ihde, 2002; Preece et al., 1994), and many useful guidelines for the design of task-oriented tools have been produced as a result.
