The present investigation was performed to explain the genetic variability and association parameters of twenty traits in 30 F1s involving six parents differing resistance against false smut rice. Breeding materials were evaluated at hotspot location viz., HREC, Gudalur. ANOVA revealed significant differences among studied variables. Higher PCV over other coefficients variation suggest role env...

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) electrooxidation in neutral conditions is a promising strategy to suppress the formation of humins and corrosive effects on electrochemical devices. However, scarce studies have been reported media due deficiency electrophilic oxygen (eg OH–) required for activation HMF. Herein, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)/Co3O4 was utilized co-catalyze HMF media,...

During apoptosis, DNA fragmentation is mainly mediated by the caspase-activated DFF40 nuclease. DFF40 exists as a heterodimeric complex with its inhibitor DFF45. Upon apoptosis induction, DFF45 is cleaved by caspases to allow DFF40 activation. Drep-3 is a recently identified regulator of the DFF40 system in Drosophila melanogaster. Here, Drep-3 was expressed with a C-terminal His tag in Escheri...


 The ground samples of Pearl millet, Finger Foxtail millet and Proso were evaluated biochemically following nutrients determined i.e. moisture, ash, protein, fat, crude fiber, lignin cellulose. fiber feeds prepared with some necessary alterations to the Basic Purified Diet 93-G for rats, recommended by American Institute Nutrition (AIN). rats (n=36) divided equally into 6 groups. There tw...

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy utilizing anterolateral flap from thigh region for reconstructing oro-mandibular defects when compared other forms reconstruction. A propensity score-matched analysis patients with an oncologic head and neck defect who underwent microvascular reconstruction performed. Two surgical groups, i.e., ALT (anterolateral bridging Plate) only DFF...

Since the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) outbreak, epidemiological analysis has raised a strong requirement for more effective and accurate contact tracing solution. However, existing solutions either lacked evaluation of proximity or features used were susceptible to certain negative environmental factors (e.g., body shielding). In this article, we propose novel distance estimation algorith...

This paper provides empirical evidence on predictable time variations in out-of-sample bond return predictability. Bond predictability is associated with periods of high (low) economic activity (uncertainty), which implies that violations the expectations hypothesis are state dependent and linked to features business cycle. These dependencies predictability, established by introducing a new mul...

Collective intelligence (CI) is a form of distributed that emerges in collaborative problem solving and decision making. This work investigates the potentials CI demand side management (DSM) urban areas. used to control energy performance representative groups buildings Stockholm, aiming increase flexibility climate resilience scale. CI-DSM developed based on simple communication strategy among...

With the growing use of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) nanotechnology, digital circuits designed at Nanoscale have a number advantages over CMOS devices, including lower utilization power, increased processing speed circuit, and higher density. There are several flip flop designs proposed in literature with their realization QCA technology. However, majority these suffer from large cell co...

We investigate new models and constructions which allow leakage-resilient signatures secure against existential forgeries, where the signature is much shorter than the leakage bound. Current models of leakage-resilient signatures against existential forgeries demand that the adversary cannot produce a new valid message/signature pair (m,σ) even after receiving some λ bits of leakage on the sign...
