In this paper, we analyze the geometric active contour models discussed in [6, 181 from a curve evolution point of view and propose some modifications based on gradient flows relative to certain new… (More)
Near-threshold computing brings the promise of an order of magnitude improvement in energy efficiency over the current generation of microprocessors [1]. However, frequency degradation due to… (More)
We employ the new geometric active contour models, previously formulated, for edge detection and segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound medical… (More)
Cool season crops face intermittent drought. Exposure to drought and other abiotic stresses is known to increase tolerance of the plants against subsequent exposure to such stresses. Storage of… (More)
The first step in the metabolism of 2-nitrotoluene (2NT) by Pseudomonas sp. JS42 (JS42) is the addition of dioxygen to the aromatic nucleus of 2NT to form 3-methylcatechol with concomitant release of… (More)
The internal organization of eukaryotic cells into functionally specialized, membrane-delimited organelles of unique composition implies a need for active, regulated lipid transport.… (More)
Keeping in view, the challenges concerning agro-ecosystem and environment, the recent developments in biotechnology offers a more reliable approach to address the food security for future generations… (More)
A new lipolytic strain of Bacillus sp. was isolated from oil contaminated soil sample. On measurement of biochemical parameters and 16S rDNA sequence information the strain was identified as Bacillus… (More)
In an effort to optimize the medium components, the statistical methodology was applied to achieve the optimum lipase production under shake flask conditions. The study was conducted in three steps… (More)
Secondary metabolites are reported to interfere with the isolation of RNA particularly with the recipes that use guanidinium-based salt. Such interference was observed in isolation of RNA with… (More)
