Also no flexibility to connect and share remote devices and servers reduces the performance of service given by organization. To overcome this issues Storage Area Network (SAN) was introduced which is a dedicated storage network that carries I/O traffic only between servers and storage devices. The paper describes requirement of SAN in real world by implementing a SAN using Openfiler, Based on seven cases SAN’s performance analysis done with help of Iometer tool and SAN’s importance in clustered Database.

Research paper thumbnail of Fluorescence Polarization for Monitoring Ribozyme Reactions in Real Time

BioTechniques, 2000

In this report, the application of fluorescence polarization has been extended to monitor ribozyme reactions in real time. With fluorescently labeled substrate RNAs, group I ribozyme ligation and hammerhead ribozyme cleavage reactions were studied by fluorescence polarization in substrate excess (multiple turnover) conditions. These results also show that fluorescently labeled RNAs remain active substrates for ribozymes. Furthermore, a direct comparison of fluorescence polarization with fluorescence resonance energy transfer showed that both techniques were comparable for monitoring ribozyme reactions.

Individuals who do not become infected despite repeated exposure are exposed, uninfected individuals. In this review, we briefly describe some host factors that might contribute to protection from HIV infection in these exposed uninfected individuals. Alteration in chemokine levels and chemokine receptors were the first of these factors described that are associated with some exposed uninfected individuals. More recently, mutations in cytokine factors, notably interferon regulatory factor 1, have been described in a Kenyan commercial sex workers cohort who have remained uninfected despite multiple exposures to HIV-infected clients. Receptors on dendritic cells offer the opportunity to protect individuals where transmission of the virus would occur by the mucosal route. Similarly, several host restriction factors have anti-HIV activity; these include...

Research paper thumbnail of Left ventricular function in varicose veins

Indian journal of physiology and pharmacology, 2002

Left ventricular function (LVF) was evaluated noninvasively by recording systolic time intervals ... more Left ventricular function (LVF) was evaluated noninvasively by recording systolic time intervals (STIs) in 25 patients suffering from varicose veins (VV) of lower limbs and compared with 25 age--sex matched controls. STI was measured from simultaneous recordings of electrocardiogram (ECG), carotid arterial pulse (CAP) and phonocardiogram (PCG). The left ventricular ejection time (LVET) was significantly shortened with marked increase in pre-ejection period (PEP) and increase in PEP/LVET ratio (P < 0.001) without any variation in electromechanical systoles (QS2) in VV patients compared to controls. These changes in STI suggest contractility of heart is adversely affected in VV patients.

Common mode filters are generally relied upon to suppress line conducted common mode interference. These filters successfully and reliably reduce common mode noise. However, successful design of common mode filters requires foresight into the non ideal character

DTL is cylindrical RF cavity resonating in TM010 mode at 352.21 MHz frequency. It consists of array of drift tubes arranged ensuring that DTL centre and Drift Tube centre are concentric. The Drift Tubes also houses Permanent Magnet Quadrupole for transverse focusing of proton beam. A twelve cell prototype of DTL section is designed, developed and fabricated at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay. Complete DTL accelerator consists of eight such DTL sections. High frequency microwave simulations are carried out in SOPRANO, vector fields and COMSOL simulation software. This prototype DTL is 1640.56 mm long cavity with 520mm ID, 600mm OD and consists of eleven Drift Tubes, two RF end flanges, three slug tuners, six post couplers, three RF field monitors, one RF waveguide coupler, two DN100 vacuum flanges and DTL tank platform with alignment features. Girder based Drift tube mounting arrangement utilizing uncompressing energy of disc springs for optimum combo RF-vacuum seal compression is worked out and implemented. This paper discusses design of this RF vacuum cavity operating at high accelerating field gradient in ultra-high vacuum. Detailed vacuum design and results of RF and vacuum qualifications are discussed. Results on mechanical accuracy achieved on scaled pre-prototype are also presented. Paper summarizes the engineering developments carried out for this RF cavity and brings out the future activities proposed in indigenous development of high gradient RF cavities for ion accelerators.

High sequence discrimination should be possible, since the cleavage efficiencies were already significantly reduced, if single base changes in substrate RNA introduce mismatches next to the cleavage site. This was observed at the first innermost base pair in helix I and the two innermost base pairs in helix III. In addition to its position, the nature of the mismatch pair was important.
