Some Researches on Histones

The histone extracted from calf thymus glands is a complex system of proteins, which can be fractionated by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose columns into three principal fractions (1) very lysine-rich, (2) moderately lysine-rich, (3) arginine-rich. When examined by starch gel chromatography each of these gives more than one band. Methods have been devised for further separation of the ...

Combustion Studies on Paraffin Wax in Gaseous Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide

A series of static hybrid rocket firings were done in a laboratory scale motor using paraffin wax fuel with gaseous oxygen and nitrous oxide oxidizers. A five element swirl injector was used to inject the oxidizer at the head end of the motor. A pyrotechnic igniter was used to initiate the combustion. The combustion of fuel grain was carried out for a fixed duration and at different oxidizer in...

Layered double hydroxides: Novel nanocatalysts for combustion of gaseous toluene from polluted air

The catalytic performance of Ni-Al, Mg-Al, and Co-Ni LDHs as novel nanocatalysts was evaluated in the oxidation of toluene. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD and FTIR approved the structure and functional groups of the LDH, respectively. Also, the presence of cations with dif...

Researches on Ingeniously Behaving Agents

We have been studying the techniques for evolutionary robotics and experimenting with various robots applied evolutionary methods. We have paid special attentions to real robots and multi-agent problems with them. In this research domain, we named them as “Ingeniously Behaving Agents (IBA)”. This paper shows several techniques developed in our IBA laboratory and their experimental results appli...
