Many companies, organizations, and communities in India are doing business using E-commerce and also are adopting M-commerce for doing business. But still E-commerce is not ubiquitous and pervasive and M-commerce is at nascent stage in India. The tremendous growth in mobile phone penetration shows that major Indian population has adopted to mobile phone and advancement in mobile technology and its usage is not limited for making basic phone calls, but can be used virtually in every sector of human activity—private, business, and government. In this paper researchers attempted to answer the research question that `Is India moving from E-commerce to M-Commerce?. In this study researchers identified the potential of E-commerce and M- commerce by reviewing its current status in India and considerin...

Management of thyroid storm is heavily dependent on thionamides. Cholestyramine and potassium iodide (SSKI) are used as adjunctive therapy and not as the sole treatment for storm. We present a case of thyroid storm treated with cholestyramine and SSKI. Clinical Case: A 45 year old male with past medical history of atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, hypertension, substance abuse and grave’s disease presented to the emergency department (ED) for diarrhea. During the course of ED, patient went into atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary edema. Labs were: TSH <0.0025 mIU/L (0.35-4.94 mIU/L) and free T4 3.52 ng/dl (0.7-1.40 ng/dl). Patient was noncompliant with methimazole. Upon admit, ACLS was initiated due to hypoxia and transferred to ICU for ventilator and pressor support. Wartofsky score was 60, suggestive of thyroid storm. Management inc...

Today, the term cloud has been modified to internet-based computing or type of computing. This is driven by rapid technological revolutions that have changed the era of technology and computing. In the novel technology enhancements, cloud computing is used as a simile for internet. With the advent of cloud computing, Information Technology (IT) sector has witnessed drift from personalized computing systems to cloud-based computing or virtualized computing environment that offers everything from computational power, storage, software, hardware etc. The heterogeneity in user demands is persistently rising. This has been handled by variable cloud service models including Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service. This research paper focuses on analyzing the cloud service models and includes a comparative study on the same.

A total of 100 individuals were assessed after informed consent. Atenolol-treated (mean 1.2±0.5y of treatment) hypertensive individuals (n=75; mean age 62.12±1.45y) visiting the local hospitals included 42 males and 33 females (mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) 151.2 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 90.0 mmHg). The control group comprised 25 age- and sexmatched controls (17 males, 8 females; mean age 64.50±1.95y; mean SBP 130.0 mmHg; mean DBP 76.0 mmHg). Using image analysis the comet parameters scored viz. Olive tail moment (OTM- 49.56±2.58), tail moment (TM44.11±6.37) and percent tail DNA (21.8±0.90%) were significantly (p≤0.001) higher in patient group than the respective values in contr...

Therefore, an experiment was conducted at ambient (390 μmol mol −1 CO 2 ) and elevated [CO 2 ] under Free Air [CO 2 ] Enrichment (FACE, 550 ± 30 μmol mol −1 [CO 2 ]) and elevated temperature under Free Air Temperature Increment (FATI, 2.5–3.0 °C above ambient) facilities at the CSIR- Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), Palampur, India during 2013–2014. Different growth and yield parameters of the plant viz. dry biomass accumulation, number of leaves/plant, plant height, leaf area/plant and essential oil composition were studied. Total dry biomass production was 162.4% and 21.4% higher in FATI and FACE, respectively, as compared to ambient (control). Number of leaves/plant and leaf area/plant increased by 58.0% and 64.9% in FATI but decreased by 16.8% and 30.9% in FACE compared to ambient, respectively. Among different photosynthetic pigments, glutathione content was found to be increased by 18.3% in the FACE along with induction of antioxidative enzymes. In addition, under FATI condition violaxanthin and neoxanthin were found to be decreased by 23% and 18%, while de-epoxidation state increased by 16% over ambient. However, in case of essential oil components, linalyl acetate and linalool content were found significantly higher in FATI and FACE, respectively.

The ever-increasing ICT innovations and services have exponentially added to the energy demands and this proliferated the urgency of fostering the awareness for development of energy efficiency mechanisms. But for a successful and effective accomplishment of such mechanisms, the support of underlying ICT platform is significant. Eventually, Cloud computing has gained attention and has emerged as a panacea to beat the energy consumption issues. This paper scrutinizes the importance of multicore processors, virtualization and consolidation techniques for achieving energy efficiency in Cloud computing. It proposes Green Cloud Scheduling Model (GCSM) that exploits the heterogeneity of tasks and resources with the help of a scheduler unit which allocates and schedules deadline-constrained tasks delimited to only energy conscious nodes. GCSM makes energy-aware task allocation decisions dynamically and aims to prevent performance degradation and achieves desired QoS. The evaluation and comparative analysis of the proposed model with two other techniques is done by setting up a Cloud environment. The results indicate that GCSM achieves 71 % of energy savings and high performance in terms of deadline fulfillment.

Significant variations were observed in phenols and flavonoids in Hypericum perforatum L., Matricaria chamomilla L., Thymus vulgaris L., Cynara cardunculus L. and Echinacea purpurea L. growing at two locations. High altitude temperate site show variable (up to 13 fold) increase in their content. Proteins (1.3 – 1.8 times), sugars (2.8 – 4.1 times) and free amino acid (1.04 – 1.22 times) were also higher at Srinagar (1730 m). Within these plants, H. perforatum and M. chamomilla have shown higher accumulation of phenols, xanthophylls and proline even at subtropical environment in Jammu (305 m) suggesting potential for increasing their geographical area. The results demonstrate that changing environmental conditions significantly affect the bioactive constituents, which accumulate as a defence strategy by these temperate plants. Their medicinal significance during climate change scenario has also been discussed.

Myrosinase was purified from the leaves of Lepidium latifolium, a high altitude plant, to homogeneity in three step purification process. Purified enzyme exists as dimer in native form (~160 kDa) with a subunit size of ~70 kDa. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at pH 6.0 and temperature 50 ˚C. With sinigrin as substrate, the enzyme showed Km and Vmax value of 171 ± 23 μM and 0.302 µmoles min-1 mg(-1). The enzyme was found to be redox regulated, with an increase in Vmax and Kcat in the presence of GSH. Reduced forms of the enzyme were found to be more active. This thiol regulated kinetic behavior of myrosinase signifies enzyme&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s strategy to finely tune its activity in different redox environments, thus, regulating its biological effects.

The 74163 counter is a 4-bit fully synchronous counter that is available in both TTL and CMOS logic families. In addition to performing the counting function, it can be cleared or loaded in parallel. It has been observed that when different powers have been measured at different frequencies and different voltages in case of counter the significant power dissipation is in case clocks and IOs. Out of which in case of clock the maximum power dissipation is in range of 12.126W to 35.056W at which is in case of 1THz when measured at different voltage levels where as in case of IOs the maximum power dissipation is in range of 20.636W to 25.031W. which is again in case of 1THz when measured at different voltage levels. There is not much significant change in case of signal and leakage power at different voltage levels.The maximum total power dissipation is in range of 33.887W to 67.986W at frequency of 1THz when operated at different voltages.Also there can be 94.45% to 99.61% reduction in total power dissipation if we operate on frequency of 1MHz instead of frequency of 1THz at different Voltage levels.

During implementation on FPGA, we are going to test the thermal stability by operating this CAM design with different ambient temperature 250C, 350C, 450C, 550C, and 650C. We have shown the compatibility of our device with wireless network by operating it on different frequency ranges: 1GHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5 GHz, 5.9 GHz, 60 GHz bands of WLAN channels. There is 69.38%, reduction in leakage power, when we scale down ambient temperature from 650C to 550 C, 450 C, 350 C, 250 C at 1 GHz. In this work, we are using 28nm technology based Kintex-7 FPGA and Verilog Hardware Description Language.

(Clary sage) is a biennial herb that produces high value essential oil used in aromatherapy and food industry. It is native to mediterranean region, but is naturally growing in diverse habitats. To understand the biochemical basis of this plasticity, studies were conducted on Clary sage plants grown at three different locations viz., Jammu, Srinagar and Leh (subtropical, temperate and cold desert with altitudes 350, 1500 and 3200 m, respectively) of Kashmir Himalayas. The activities of antioxidative enzymes such as SOD, APX and GR as well as content of redox metabolites like GSH and NADP were investigated to understand redox status of plants at different environments. Results show that at higher altitudes, the redox homeostasis is maintained either by incresasing the total concentration of the metabolite or by changing its redox form. These results are also supported by the activities of GR that changes GSSG to GSH. H2O2 and other antioxidant enzymes however, show ...

Three sites representing sparsely populated (SPS), moderately populated (MPS) and densely populated site (DPS) were selected. Results showed that the DPS had higher photosynthetic accumulation than MPS and SPS. The higher transpiration rate at DPS despite lower vapor pressure deficit and higher relative humidity suggest the regulation of its leaf temperature by evaporative cooling. Intrinsic soil parameters such as water holding capacity and nutrient availability also play crucial role in higher biomass here. The quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv /Fm , non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), ΦPSII ) and light curve at various PPFDs suggests better light harvesting potential and light compensation point at DPS than the other two sites. Concomitantly, plants at SPS had significantly higher lipid peroxidation, suggesting a stressful environment, and higher induction of antioxidative enzymes. Metabolic content of reduced glutathione also suggests an efficient mechanism in DPS and MPS than SPS. High light intensities at MPS are managed by specialized contrive of carotenoid pigments and PsbS gene product. Large pool of violaxanthin and lutein plays an important role in this response. It is suggested that L. latifolium is present as &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;sleeper weed&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39; that has inherent biochemical plasticity involving multiple processes in Western Himalayas. Its potential spread is linked to site-specific micro-environment, whereby, it prefers flat valley bottoms with alluvial fills having high water availability, and has little or no altitudinal effect.

The operational frequency of buffer is kept quite high of 1THz and it has been recorded that we need to optimize power considerations in order to reduce the power consumption. The values are recorded on LVCMOS and LVDCI. For LVCMOS, we recorded that average power consumed is 88W and for LVDCI the average power consumed is 76W. In the later stage we observe that with using the technique of clock gating the power consumption with LVCMOS reduced to 52W and for LVDCI the power consumption is reduced much to 45W. This has also been observed that LVDCI reduces the IOs power more than LVCMOS. For LVCMOS the reading is of IOs is 21W and for LVDCI it is 9W.

Social functioning was assessed in 55 individuals “at risk” for schizophrenia, 16 first episode patients with schizophrenia and 45 normal comparison subjects. The Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents (SAICA) was administered to adolescents <18 and the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS-SR) to young adults >17. The at risk and first episode groups significantly differed from the normal subjects on measures of social functioning in the domains of peer, family, work and school relationships. Individuals at risk for schizophrenia have significant functional deficits which may be potential indicators of increased vulnerability for psychosis.

Metabolic content of reduced glutathione also suggests an efficient mechanism in DPS and MPS than SPS. High light intensities at MPS are managed by specialized contrive of carotenoid pigments and PsbS gene product. Large pool of violaxanthin and lutein plays an important role in this response. It is suggested that L. latifolium is present as &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;sleeper weed&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39; that has inherent biochemical plasticity involving multiple processes in Western Himalayas. Its potential spread is linked to site-specific micro-environment, whereby, it prefers flat valley bottoms with alluvial fills having high water availability, and has little or no altitudinal effect.

The operational frequency of buffer is kept quite high of 1THz and it has been recorded that we need to optimize power considerations in order to reduce the power consumption. The values are recorded on LVCMOS and LVDCI. For LVCMOS, we recorded that average power consumed is 88W and for LVDCI the average power consumed is 76W. In the later stage we observe that with using the technique of clock gating the power consumption with LVCMOS reduced to 52W and for LVDCI the power consumption is reduced much to 45W. This has also been observed that LVDCI reduces the IOs power more than LVCMOS. For LVCMOS the reading is of IOs is 21W and for LVDCI it is 9W.

In today world, advances are making thoughts into reality. Every day we read about new advancements, one emerging area with such advancement is that of UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING (UbiCom). UbiCom is a latest concept of computing where we can see the use of computing anywhere and everywhere. Sometimes ubiquitous computing is also referred to as pervasive computing which is different from ubiquitous computing. This paper is a review paper in the complex field of ubiquitous computing and security issues involved in it. This paper also shows the future direction of ubiquitous computing.

Social functioning was assessed in 55 individuals “at risk” for schizophrenia, 16 first episode patients with schizophrenia and 45 normal comparison subjects. The Social Adjustment Inventory for Children and Adolescents (SAICA) was administered to adolescents <18 and the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS-SR) to young adults >17. The at risk and first episode groups significantly differed from the normal subjects on measures of social functioning in the domains of peer, family, work and school relationships. Individuals at risk for schizophrenia have significant functional deficits which may be potential indicators of increased vulnerability for psychosis.
