Wireless ad-hoc mesh networks are formed by integrat-ing peer-to-peer ad-hoc networks through a mesh ofmultihop long haul connectivity based on the IEEE802.11 Wi-Fi standard. Such networks have a tremen-dous flexibility of deployment and can be used to pro-vide high bitrate connectivity to areas which lack wiredinfrastructure. Securing such a network is a seriousconc...

The paper starts with an exploration of knowledgemanagement which focuses on the knowledgepyramid concept. The successful management ofthe transition from an agricultural to a knowledgebased society, it is argued, should go beyond formu-lating information communication technology pol-icies to include knowledge management policies aswell. The contribution of informati...

In this study, a relationship between antibiotic and heavy metal resistance was estimated among culturable bacterial strains of agriculture farm soap industry soil.A total 27 were isolated screened for their by supplementing LB agar medium with variable concentrations respectivestress. On LB-agar medium, soil harboured more cultivable (17 strains) as compared to the (10 strains).Minimum inhibit...

seth4 coding sequence with 2013 bp is a member of gene family expressed in gametophytic tissues of arabidopsis thaliana. this fragment was pcr amplified using kod hi fi dna polymerase enzyme. this fragment was cloned into pgbkt7 bate vector and transformed e. coli dh5? cells containing vector were selected on lb medium containing kanamycin. finally, pgbkt7-seth4 bate was transformed into yeast ...

Optimization of chicken feather (CF) based culture medium for the production of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) biomass in combination with the agro industrial by-product (coconut cake, CC) and manganese chloride (MnCl2) has been evaluated. The biomass yield of Bti spore/crystal toxin was highest (12.06 g/L) from the test medium (CF+CC+MnCl2) compared to the reference medium (Lu...

The type of bacterial culture medium is an important consideration during design of any experimental protocol. The aim of this study was to understand the impact of medium choice on bacterial gene expression and physiology by comparing the transcriptome of Salmonella enterica SL1344 after growth in the widely used LB broth or the rationally designed MOPS minimal medium. Transcriptomics showed t...

Most animal-microbe symbiotic interactions must be advantageous to the hostand provide nutritional benefits to the endosymbiont. When the host providesnutrients, it can gain the capacity to control the interaction, promote self-growthand increase its fitness. Chlorella-like green algae engage in symbioticrelationships with certain protozoans, a partnership which significantly im...

We proposed an approach to construct a 2D Fresnel lenses by acoustic network. This lens iscomposed of an array of Helmholtz resonators. The resonance at individual resonators results ineffective focusing even the plate has subwavelength thickness. The FEM simulation resultspresented the ultrasonic wave propagation through the lenses together with the resultingdiffraction pat...

This is a correction article.After publication of this work [1], we became aware of the fact that Robert C. Speth was notincluded as an author. Dr. Speth put a considerable amount of time and effort into developing andpreparing the radiopeptide used to carry out the radioligand binding studies reported in thismanuscript and therefore should have originally been included as a...
