Improved Procedure for Screening Expression Libraries for Novel Autoantigens

The standard method for immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library is time-consuming becauseof the production of a large proportion of false positives during the first and second round of screening.This problem is more important when a sensitive chemiluminescence detection system is used. Due tothe high sensitivity of the detection system, there is a need to avoid false posi...

Performance Evaluation of Natural Convection Grain Dryer using Phase Change Material for Quality Drying of Paddy

Conservation of agricultural crops and minimization of grain losses is challenging issue in the present scenario. Effective use of thermal energy for drying of paddy and other cereals for maintaining proper quality is the quality drying process. Natural convection grain dryer is quite suitable for under developed and developing countries like India where rural electrification and advanced dryin...

Solar drying of whole mint plant under natural and forced convection

Two identical prototype solar dryers (direct and indirect) having the same dimensions were used to dry whole mint. Both prototypes were operated under natural and forced convection modes. In the case of the later one the ambient air was entered the dryer with the velocity of 4.2 m s(-1). The effect of flow mode and the type of solar dryers on the drying kinetics of whole mint were investigated....

Parallel Computation for Natural Convection

Parallel computation fortwo-dimensionat co)wective flows in cavities with adiabatic horizontal boundaries and driven by differential heating of the two vertical end walk, are investigated using the Intel Paragon, Intel Touchstone Delta, and Cray 13D. I’he numerical scheme, including a parallel multigrid solver, and domain decomposition techniques for parallel computing are discussed in detail. ...
