Anthocyanins, one of the most important plant metabolites, are a group of naturally occurring pigments responsible for redblue coloration in most fruits and vegetables. Belonging to the “flavonoid family”, their structures (more than 500 in number) have been intensively elucidated [1,2]. Anthocyanins are of immense human interest due to their potential implications in maintenance of human health.

Networks made up of various systems are scattered across wide area networks and together they contribute to the heterogeneous environment of the computational grid. Whilst they are an immense source of computing resource, the core weakness of connecting these networks blindly together is that they are made up of various network link speeds. Bottlenecks in communications occur due to the varied ...

It will revolutionise the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of most, if not all, human diseases.” Ex-President Bill Clinton, announcing the completion of the first draft of the human genome, 26 Ju...

Microorganisms play critical roles in the various aquatic systems forming microbial mats. The microbial mats are held together and bound to their substrates by slimy extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) having various applications which they secrete. They use all types of metabolism and feeding strategy that have evolved on Earth, and have shown immense use in various industrial application...
