The biogenic synthesis of metal nanomaterial offers an environmentally benign alternative to the traditional chemical synthesis routes. In the present study, the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by using Nigella arvensis L. seed powder extract (NSPE) has been reported. AgNPs were characterized by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy with ...

Previous approaches to designing random pattern testable circuits use post-synthesis test point insertion to eliminate random pattern resistant (r.p.r.) faults. The approach taken in this paper is to consider random pattern testability during logic synthesis. An automated logic synthesis procedure is presented which takes as an input a two-level representation of a circuit and a constraint on t...

Texture synthesis is widely used in the field of computer graphics, vision, and image processing. In the present paper, a texture synthesis algorithm is proposed for near-regular natural textures with the help of a representative periodic pattern extracted from the input textures using distance matching function. Local texture statistics is then analyzed against global texture statistics for no...

It is generally believed genetic algorithm (GA) is superior to particle swarm optimization (PSO) while dealing with the discrete optimization problems. In this paper, a suitable mapping method is adopted and the modified PSO can effectively deal with the discrete optimization problems of linear array pattern synthesis. This strategy has been applied in thinned linear array pattern synthesis wit...

the synthesis, characterization and application of biologically synthesized nanomaterials are an important aspect in nanotechnology. the present study deals with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using the aqueous extract of red seaweed gelidiella acerosa as the reducing agent to study the antifungal activity. the formation of ag-nps was confirmed by uv-visible spectroscopy, x-ray ...

Addition of the antifungal antibiotic papulacandin B to an exponential culture of Geotrichum lactis inhibited incorporation of glucose into the alkali-insoluble and alkali-soluble glucan fractions of the hyphal wall, although the rate of growth was practically unaltered. Synthesis of other cell wall components (i.e. galactomannan and chitin) was not affected. Papulacandin B also induced the pro...
