Objective: Present study investigates the effect of ethanolic C. tora leaves extract on cognitive function in scopolamine and electroshock induced amnesia in rats. Methods: To explore the potential effect, C. tora extract was screened by administrating three doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) for 14 days using scopolamine-induced amnesia model. The dose having maximum activity was selected (400 mg/...

The Tat (twin-arginine translocation) system is a protein targeting pathway utilized by prokaryotes and chloroplasts. Tat substrates are produced with distinctive N-terminal signal peptides and are translocated as fully folded proteins. In Escherichia coli, Tat-dependent proteins often contain redox cofactors that must be loaded before translocation. Trimethylamine N-oxide reductase (TorA) is a...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile hosts dynamically forming a temporary network without the aid of any existing established infrastructure. Quality of service (QoS) is a set of service requirements that needs to be met by the network while transporting a packet stream from a source to its destination. QoS support MANETs is a challenging task due to the dynamic top...

mobile ad hoc networks (manets) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. in these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. tora is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it doesn’...

In Escherichia coli, the SecB/SecA branch of the Sec pathway and the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway represent two alternative possibilities for posttranslational translocation of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane. Maintenance of pathway specificity was analyzed using a model precursor consisting of the mature part of the SecB-dependent maltose-binding protein (MalE) fused to t...

Cassia tora Linn. (Family: Leguminosae) is well known plant widely distributed in India and other tropical countries. It is an annual under shrub and grows in wild wasteland. Different parts of the plant (Leaves, seed, and root) are reputed for their medicinal value. It is well recognized traditional medicine as laxative and is useful for treatment of leprosy, ringworm infection, ophthalmic, sk...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of a set of mobile nodes which communicate over radio. One of the major challenging issues in this kind of networks is to develop an efficient routing protocol. Since MANET nodes have restricted battery capacity, an energy-aware routing protocol can play an important role in its performance. On the other hand, in recent years nature has been emerged as s...

The Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) is a highly adaptive distributed routing algorithm used in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) that is able to provide multiple loop-free routes to a destination. TORA is very dependent on the services provided by the Internet MANET Encapsulation Protocol (IMEP) to effectively carry out its three main functions: Route Creation, Route Maintenance, and R...

Fungal activity of the essential oil extracted from Cassia tora (Fabaceae) was studied against dermatophytic fungi like Microsporum gypseum. Study of dermatophytes in soil samples collected from Jaipur, was carried out but only 88% samples contained dermatophytic fungi. In screening of the essential oil of Cassia tora the diameter of inhibition zone was found to be 19 mm for Microsporum gypseum...

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks(MANET) are characterized by bandwidth constrained wireless links, multiple hops and highly dynamic topologies. Providing QoS support in MANETs is hence a challenging task. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of INORA, which is a network layer QoS support mechanism that makes use of the INSIGNIA in-band signaling mechanism and TORA routing protoco...
