Chitosan the second most abundant polysaccharide is biodegradable, biocompatible, and nontoxic. These properties makes chitosan widely applicable in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields for controlled release of drugs for wound management and space filling implants etc. In the present study fungal chitosan is isolated form Cunninghamella elegans, characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy by confi...

Abstract Two-region image segmentation is the process of dividing an into two regions interest, i.e., foreground and background. To this aim, Chan et al. (SIAM J Appl Math 66(5):1632–1648, 2006) designed a model well suited for smooth images. One drawback that it may produce bad when contains oscillatory components. Based on cartoon-texture decomposition to be segmented, we propose new able acc...

The chromatographic properties of peptides ranging in length from 2 to 65 residues have been compared on reverse-phase packings in three buffer systems at low pH. Of the buffers examined, two are widely used in connection with u.v. detection [(i) phosphate/acetonitrile or (ii) phosphate/propan-2-ol] and the third for fluorescence detection [(iii) pyridine/formate-pyridine/acetate/propan-1-ol]. ...

Identification and authentication is done using various biometric sign like fingerprints. The recognition rate of correct person is depending on quality of fingerprints images. Fingerprints quality also varying from rural and urban population. Rural population having more physical work than urban population. Therefore the ridges, valleys, bifurcation, joints, minutia etc. features are not good ...

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important cytokine that plays a pivotal role in natural and adaptive immune systems. However, in lower vertebrates, especially in teleost the receptor of this cytokine is still largely unknown. This paper described the cloning and characterization of grass carp interleukin-10 receptor 1 (gcIL10R1) and the 3D structure of its extracellular domain was predicted. The g...
