Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCombustion, Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine with Neem Oil Methyl Ester and its Diesel BlendsL. Prabhu, S. Sathish Kumar, M. Prabhahar, K. RajanBiodiesel, an alternative fuel is derived from the fats of animals and plants. As energy demands increase and fossil fuels are limited, research is directed towards alternative renewable fuels. The main advantages of using this alternative fuel are its renewability, biodegradability and better quality of exhaust gases. It is technically competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional petro-diesel fuel for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,259 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCharacterization and Wash Performance Analysis of Microbial Extracellular Enzymes from East Calcutta Wetland in IndiaRamesh Malathu, Sanhita Chowdhury, Madhusmita Mishra et al.Extracellular protease from a novel bacterial isolate showing maximum similarity of 98.22% with Microbacterium luteolum was obtained from East Calcutta Wetland, India. It showed compatibility with commercial detergents. The enzyme retains more than 60% of its activity between 6.0 to 10.5 pH. The maximum activity is at pH 7.5 with 71% activity at pH 10.0 and 10.5. The protease retained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,727 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Improved Handwritten Tamil Character Recognition System using Octal GraphR. J. Kannan, R. PrabhakarProblem Statement: Handwriting recognition has attracted voluminous research in recent times. The segmentation and recognition of the characters from handwritten scripts incorporates considerable overhead. Almost all the existing handwritten character recognition techniques use neural network approach, which requires lot of preprocessing and hence accomplishing these problems using neural network is a tedious task. Approach: In this study we propose a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,405 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTowards Identifying Immunogenic Targets in Visceral Leishmaniasis: Role of 17kDa and 63kDa PhosphoproteinsShubhankar K Singh, Sanjiva Bimal, Diwakar S. Dinesh et al.We observed predominant phosphorylation at Protein Kinase C (PKC-α) residue in seven immunoreactive proteins of virulent Leishmania donovani parasites. These phosphoproteins were tested for their ability to stimulate T-cells for secretion of Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factor (MIF) in comparision to crude soluble antigen in Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) patients. Two of these phosphorylated L. donovani antigens led Leishmania to present these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDF Cite
