Computational modeling of differences in the quorum sensing induced luminescence phenotypes of Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio cholerae
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011-04-07)Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio cholerae have quorum sensing pathways with similar design and highly homologous components including multiple small RNAs (sRNAs). However, the associated luminescence phenotypes of strains with ... -
Hafnium oxide thin films studied by time differential perturbed angular correlations
(AMER INST PHYSICS, 2011-06-01)We report on the study of hafnium oxide thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition at various partial oxygen pressures by Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlations using the nuclear probe 181Hf(b )181Ta to determine ... -
Employment Generation using Dehydration Technology for Drying Flowers and Foliage and Floral Craft
(Indian Science News Association, 2011-01)Wild/unutilized/underutilized plant species and ornamental cut flowers can be converted into value added products using simple dehydration technique. Dehydration techniques have been standardized under room temperature, ... -
