Leaf extracts of Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) and bulb extracts of Allium sativum (garlic) extracted with various solvents (ethanol, ethyl acetate and aqueous for Cymbopogon citratus, and ethyl acetate chloroform and aqueous for Allium sativum) were evaluated for antidermatophytic activity against Microsporum spp. isolated from different water samples. Out of a total of 60 water samples an...

Dexterous manipulation with a highly redundant movement system is one of the hallmarks of human motor skills. From numerous behavioral studies, there is strong evidence that humans employ compliant task space control, i.e. they focus control only on task variables while The International Journal of Robotics Research Vol. 27, No. 6, June 2008, pp. 737–757 DOI: 10.1177/0278364908091463 c !SAGE Pu...

One of the most sensitive features of sheet metal forming processes is the elastic recovery during unloading, called spring-back, which leads to some geometric changes in the product. This phenomenon will affect bend angle and bend curvature, and can be influenced by various factors. In this research, the effects of anisotropy i.e., the rolling direction of 0° , 45° & 90° of ultra low carbon st...

Article Info Twenty one days pre-decomposed substrates, teak leaf litter (TLL), paper mill sludge (PMS) and pressmud (PM) in combination with cowdung was subjected to vermicomposting using the epigeic earthworm, Perionyx ceylanensis for 60 days. The phosphatase enzymes—acid phosphase and alkaline phosphase were analysed in vermibed substrates of TLL, PMS and PM on 0, 15, 30, 45 and on 60 th day...

A two-dimensional numerical model of a horse is presented that predicts the locomotory behaviors of galloping horses, including how stride frequency, stride length, and metabolic rate change from a slow canter to a fast gallop. In galloping, each limb strikes the ground sequentially, one after the other, with distinct time lags separating hind and forelimb footfalls. In the model, each stance l...

The present study was conducted to investigate the allelopathic potential of Plumbago zyelanica L. which showed inhibitory effects on seed germination, root length and shoot length of medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata Nees. Leaf, stem and root aqueous extracts of P. zeylanica at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% concentration were applied to determine their effect on seed germination and seedling...

In today‘s world the explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things such as E-commerce-banking, E-mail, Cloud Computing. Most organizations, governments are linked to the internet in some way or the other, but the question arises ̳how safe are they‘. There is also a Dark side to all the progress such as Hack-ing, creation of Backdoors, phishing etc.This paper elucidates in brief ...

Using cloud storage, users can remotely store their data and enjoy the ondemand high-quality applications and services from a shared pool of configurable computing resources, without the burden of local data storage and maintenance. However, the fact that users no longer have physical possession of the outsourced data makes the data integrity protection in cloud computing formidable task, espec...

This paper presents to the solutions of the acoustic problem using dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). The acoustic propagates inside the silencer and its sound can be formulated by the three dimensional (3D) Helmholtz equation. The form of the equation is which can be solved by the integral form on the boundary. The conventional boundary element method (BEM) is not suitable for s...
