Anita, Anita,Singha, S.P.S.,Dhillon, K.S.,Nayyar, Shashi Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2004 Animal Bioscience Vol.17 No.5

The 15 buffaloes were divided into three groups, viz. group 1: normal cyclic buffaloes; group 2: postpartum anoestrus buffaloes and group 3: post partum anoestrus buffaloes supplemented with intramuscular injections of Vit. E.-care Se containing 500 mg $\alpha$-tocopheryl acetate and 15 mg selenium at weekly intervals for two months. The postpartum anoestrus buffaloes had significantly higher levels of erythrocytic lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase and glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase activities but lower glutathione peroxidase activity as compared to normal cyclic buffaloes. The supplementation of vitamin E and selenium lowered the level of erythrocytic lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase and glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase activities but it had no effect on whole blood selenium and erythrocytic gluathione peroxidase activity. All the animals in group 3 became cyclic and showed 60% conception rate.

An efficient PRAM algorithm for maximum-weightindependent set on permutation graphs

Anita Saha,Madhumangal Pal,Tapan K. Pal 한국전산응용수학회 2005 Journal of applied mathematics & informatics Vol.19 No.1-2

An efficient parallel algorithm is presented to find a maximum weight independent set of a permutation graph which takes O(log n) time using O(n2/ log n) processors on an EREW PRAM, provided the graph has at most O(n) maximal independent sets. The best known parallel algorithm takes O(log2 n) time and O(n3/ log n) processors on a CREW PRAM.

Migration Jobs in Cloud Computing

Anita Rani,Pankajdeep Kaur 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.8 No.6

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet. Cloud services allow individuals and other businesses organization to use data that are managed by third parties or another person at remote locations. In cloud computing, Process and virtual machine migration are two migration techniques. Process migration is a technique in which an active process is moved from one machine to another of possibly different architecture and Virtual Machine (VM) is an emulation of a particular computer system. Virtual machine migration is a useful tool for migrating OS instances across multiple physical machines. Both techniques are used to load balancing, fault management, low-level system maintenance, better communication and reduce energy consumption. This paper presents the various virtual machine and process migration techniques.

Effect of Supplementation of Traditional Medicinal Plants on Blood Glucose in Non?Insulin-Dependent Diabetics: A Pilot Study

Anita Kochhar,Malkit Nagi 한국식품영양과학회 2005 Journal of medicinal food Vol.8 No.4

The effect of supplementation of a powdered mixture of three traditional medicinal plantsbittergourd, jamunseeds, and fenugreek seedsin raw and cooked form on blood glucose was studied in 60 noninsulin-dependent male dia-betics. The patients were divided into two groups of 30 each. The patients of group I were given the raw powdered mixturein the form of capsules; the patients of group II were given this mixture in the form of salty biscuits. Daily supplementationof 1 g of this powered mixture for a 1.5-month period and then a further increase to 2 g for another 1.5 months significantlyreduced the fasting as well as the postprandial glucose level of the diabetic patients. A significant decrease in oral hypo-glycemic drug intake and decline in percentage of the subjects who were on hypoglycemic drugs were found after the 3-monthfeeding trial. It was concluded that 2 g of a powdered mixture of traditional medicinal plants in either raw or cooked formcan be successfully used for lowering blood glucose in diabetics.

Bilinear Robust Control Design for Virotherapy Model

Anita Kesuma Arum,Roberd Saragih,Dewi Handayani 제어로봇시스템학회 2019 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2019 No.10

In this paper we concerned with the application bilinear robust control for virotherapy model. In designing the controller, it requires a solution to the state dependent algebraic Riccati equation (SDARE). However, it is difficult to solve the SDARE. Successive method is one of the methods that can be used to solve this issue. The idea of this method is converting the bilinear systems into time-varying linear system. This method has the following step: firstly, we need to obtain the robust control for the linear system by ignoring the multiplicative term of bilinear system. Second, convert the bilinear systems into the time-varying linear systems using the previous result, and then solve the SDARE by the new performance index and the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation. Last, iterate the steps until the convergence of state satisfied. The virotherapy model has been widely developed and can be considered as a model in bilinear system. There are four groups in this model: quiescent cells (Q), cancer cells (S), virus (V), and infected cells (I). Virus are injected into the human body as the control input to control the amount of the cancer cells. In this case, virus can only infect the cancer cells, and the infected cells will die when the lysis process occurs. Virus, as a control, is given with the aim of minimizing the energy used in the system. In this model we consider the body"s immune response as an additive disturbance to the model. From the simulation results, it is shown that virotherapy can reduce the number of cancer cells in the body on day 50th, so the number of cancer cells in the body is only 16.6%. Based on the simulation, the next virototherapy can be done after the day 50th.

Biotransformation in a Microreactor: New Method for Production of Hexanal

Anita Šalic,Ana Tušek,Želimir Kurtanjek,Bruno Zeli 한국생물공학회 2011 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.16 No.3

In this study, enzymatic oxidation of hexanol to hexanal (green note fragrance) using NAD^+ dependent commercial alcohol dehydrogenase from S. cerevisiae was conducted in continuously operated tubular microreactors with internal volumes of 6 and 13 μL and in a tubular microreactor with a volume of 2 μL that was equipped with internal micromixers. Flow profiles in microchannel were observed in experiments in which the aqueous phase was stained brilliant blue and the hexane was kept colourless. The effects of enzyme and coenzyme inlet concentrations and flow ratios of the immiscible phases on the conversion of hexanol and the volumetric productivity of hexanal were analyzed. Significant improvement in the conversion of hexanol when compared to the classical macroscale process was obtained for c^(i,hexanol) = 5.5 mmol/L,c^(i,NAD+) = 0.55 mmol/L, and γ^(i,ADH) = 0.092 g/L. In the 6 μL microreactor 11.78% conversion of hexanol was attained after 72 sec, while in the macroscale process 5.3%conversion of hexanol was reached after 180 sec.

Immunity and asthma: friend or foe?

Anita Mehta,Priyanshee Gohil 경희대학교 융합한의과학연구소 2008 Oriental Pharmacy and Experimental Medicine Vol.8 No.1

Immunity is responsible for the defense mechanism of the body but in case of autoimmune diseases, its role gets diverted. Like so many other diseases, asthma is also considered as one of the most common autoimmune diseases to be occurring in community. Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory airway disease that is characterized by airway hyper reactivity and mucus hypersecretion that result in intermittent airway obstruction. The incidence of allergic asthma has almost doubled in the past two decades. Although, precise causative mechanism of asthma is unknown, but several mechanisms have been proposed that is immunological, pharmacological and genetic mechanisms, and airway and neurogenic inflammation. The inflammatory process observed in the asthmatic patients is the final result of a complex network of interactions between various immunological cell lineages, its mediators and secreted substances. Thus, among the mechanisms proposed, the immunological one plays a key role. Through this article, we have tried to provide some insight into immunological mechanisms in pathogenesis of asthma.
