Thane creek is one of the most important ecosystems around Mumbai, and the mangroves surrounding the ecosystem form the vital green lung for the residents. It is also an important feeding and breeding ground for fishes. In recent past man has misused this ecosystem by way of releasing sewage, dumping solid waste, etc. and has succeeded in chocking the ecosystem. The results of present investiga...

A simple and precise HPLC method was developed for estimation of Montelukast sodium (MTKT) and Levocetirizine dihydrochloride (LCTZ) in pure and pharmaceutical dosage form. HPLC separation was achieved with a Phenomenex (Torrance, CA) C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm particle size) as stationary phase and methanol: Trichloroacetic acid: Acetonitril (90:5:5, v/v/v) as eluent, at a flow rate ...

IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING During a break in the Autonomous Agents 2000 conference last month in Barcelona, we went souvenir shopping. On the outskirts of the city, an old man in a dilapidated store had some interesting wares, but he spoke only Catalan and we spoke only English and Polish. Nevertheless, even without a common language, we managed to reach an agreement. We left not only with the sou...

Mobile Agents are soft wares migrating from one node to another to fulfill the task of its owner. Mobility introduces two major challenges in front of mobile agent namely reliability and security. As the agent moves from one node to another the goal to complete its task safely is difficult to achieve. Mobile agents are no longer a theoretical concept, much architecture for their realizations ha...

Agricultural research has been profited by technical advances such as automation, data mining. Today ,data mining is used in a vast areas and many off-the-shelf data mining system products and domain specific data mining application soft wares are available, but data mining in agricultural soil datasets is a relatively a young research field. The large amounts of data that are nowadays virtuall...

This paper introduces Jade Bird Component Description Language (JBCDL) which is a part of Jade Bird Component Library (JBCL). JBCDL is based on Jade Bird Component Model (JBCOM). JBCOM is a 3C-based hierarchic component model that is composed of specification and implementation layers and with uniformity and self-contained composition. The main purpose of JBCDL is to describe component interfac...

The paper proposes mvTANTs , three-level networks with multiple-valued inputs and binary outputs. These networks are a generalization of binary T A N T s (Three level And Not networks with True Inputs). One of possible interpretations of m v T A N T is a four-level binary network with input decoders which realize multiplevalued literals. Similarly to mvPLAs, mvTANTs have regular structures with...

This article discusses the medicinal remedies consumed at the court of the Yorkist kings of England in the light of a lawsuit in the court of common pleas (edited in an appendix) between John Clerk, king's apothecary to Edward IV, and Katherine Neville, Duchess of Norfolk, over the partial non-payment of the apothecary's bills. It argues that the consumption of apothecaries' wares in large quan...

Since prehistory man has been aware of the importance of particle size in producing resources and wares with desired properties. Archeological evidence indicates that paints used for cave wall paintings are mixtures of finely pulverized pigmenting materials, predominantly carbon, ochre and hematite. Man came to realize that adding pulverized materials to clay not only improved its workability, ...
