Marine derived fungi provide plenty of structurally unique and biologically active secondary metabolites. In our previous study, we screened the marine sediments collected from the different coastal locations of Kanyakumari district, south India. In this study, we identified a new fungal species Aspergillus protuberus SP1 (Gen Bank Accession: HQ 386016). The n-butanol exogenous extract of A.pro...

the levels of 19 organochlorine pesticides (ocps) in surface water and under water sedimentsfrom tanks located nearby the prime agricultural areas of kanyakumari district, tamil nadu, india wereinvestigated to evaluate their pollution risks. a total of 36 surface water samples at 9 sampling sites and27 sediment samples at 9 sampling stations were collected from tanks, which were the water sourc...

Neolentinus kauffmanii (A.H. Smith) were found growing on decaying logs of wood in their large numbers within the kothaiyar forest area of Kanyakumari district, Tamilnadu, India. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of different semi-synthetic growth media, pH, temperature, carbon, nitrogen and amino acids on vegetative growth of N. kauffmanii. The best mycelial extensions were...

The complex permittivity ∈=∈′− j∈′′ of distilled water and NaCl solutions of concentrations varying from 5000 to 35000 ppm have been measured in the frequency range from 200 MHz to 1.4 GHz using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The complex permittivity of saline water collected from Kanyakumari sea bank has also been measured in this frequency range. It has been observed that the dielectric con...

Introduction: Immunobullous disorders are morphologically heterogenous and hence the differentiation between various subtypes is essential for proper treatment prognosis. Prompt diagnosis needs clinicopathological concordance added with Immunofluorescence (IF) in particular Direct (DIF) study to avoid discrepancies. Aim: To profile along immunological features analyse utility of IF DIF immunobu...

In this paper, an advanced modus operandi named the -constrained simplex method (ACSM) is deployed to resolve a real-time hydro-thermal-wind-solar power scheduling problem. ACSM updated articulation of Nonlinear Simplex Method (SM) Nelder and Mead. It has been designed after interbreeding ordinary SM with some other methods like-evolutionary method, ?-constrained etc. To develop technique three...
