Swarm Technology is basically a system which works on real time conditions and the members in the group interact with each other in a decentralized manner to achieve a particular objective via self-organization. Natural examples are ant colonies, schooling of fishes, etc. Swarm in telligence is a field of artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence of machine or software is that which stud...

Piceatannol is a stilbenoid, a metabolite of resveratrol found in red wine. Piceatannol and sera from rats orally given piceatannol were found to dose-dependently suppress both the proliferation and invasion of AH109A hepatoma cells in culture. Its antiproliferative effect was based on cell cycle arrest at lower concentration (25~50 μM) and on apoptosis induction at higher concentration (100 μM...

A fast and direct combination of techniques for simultaneous mycotoxin and phytoalexin identification in peanut skin and kernel is described. Silica Plate Imprinting Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (SPILDI-MSI) is a powerful technique that exhibits great advantages, such as solvent-free and matrix-free characteristics, as well as no sample preparation or separation steps. ...

Stilbenoids (resveratrol and its derivatives) are secondary metabolites produced by plants as defence mechanism to microbial infection. These compounds known for their anti-inflammatory action health benefits in preventing a wide range of disorders (e.g. cancer cardiovascular diseases). However, antimicrobial properties less investigated. A series 8 stilbenoid were synthesized antifungal activi...

In this paper, we shall develop some theoretical, as well as practical, tools for the synthesis and the veriication of processes that contain n timers. Such tools are equally adapted to numerical calculations as to symbolical ones, thus allowing for parametric analysis. The results we have obtained rely on a simple and eecient representation of the states of an automaton that recognizes the beh...

Quorum sensing regulates cell density-dependent phenotypes and involves the synthesis, excretion and detection of so-called autoinducers. Vibrio harveyi strain ATCC BAA-1116 (recently reclassified as Vibrio campbellii), one of the best-characterized model organisms for the study of quorum sensing, produces and responds to three autoinducers. HAI-1, AI-2 and CAI-1 are recognized by different rec...
