Integrated Approach of Software Project Size Estimation

Brajesh Kumar Singh,Akash Punhani,A. K. Misra 보안공학연구지원센터(IJSEIA) 2016 International Journal of Software Engineering and Vol.10 No.2

In the past, some researchers have shown that using more than one technique can reduce the risk of trusting only one method. At present many estimators use function point input in estimations based on COCOMO. This research paper includes the use and explanations related to advantages of these two “public domain” costing methods and the proposal of an integrated single model for size estimation. The problem of language dependency is well addressed and the language-weighted function point is introduced as the solution domain. Research paper demonstrates that the use of backfiring conversion factors is inherently inaccurate as there is no effective relationship between SLOC and FP. The use of homogeneous data can provide the acceptable results as established. It is demonstrated and established that the combination of physical size and functional size using the LOC and function points can affect the productivity. Using weighted function points as the main input in a COCOMO-like power function enables the effect of the programming language which enables the model to be easily adapted to other development environments. Such estimates are of very high degree of accuracy.

Molecular Detection and Genotyping of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii Isolates from Different Agro-Ecological Regions of India

Rupesh Kumar Mishra,Brajesh Kumar Pandey,Vijai Singh,Amita John Mathew,Neelam Pathak,Mohammad Zeeshan 한국미생물학회 2013 The journal of microbiology Vol.51 No.4

Twenty one isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii (Fop),causing a vascular wilt in guava (Psidium guajava L.), were collected from different agro-ecological regions of India. The pathogenicity test was performed in guava seedlings,where the Fop isolates were found to be highly pathogenic. All 21 isolates were confirmed as F. oxysporum f. sp. psidii by a newly developed, species-specific primer against the conserved regions of 28S rDNA and the intergenic spacer region. RAPD and PCR-RFLP were used for genotyping the isolates to determine their genetic relationships. Fifteen RAPD primers were tested, of which five primers produced prominent, polymorphic, and reproducible bands. RAPD yielded an average of 6.5 polymorphic bands per primer,with the amplified DNA fragments ranging from 200–2,000bp in size. A dendrogram constructed from these data indicated a 22–74% level of homology. In RFLP analysis, two major bands (350 and 220 bp) were commonly present in all isolates of F. oxysporum. These findings provide new insight for rapid, specific, and sensitive disease diagnosis. However,genotyping could be useful in strain-level discrimination of isolates from different agro-ecological regions of India.

Does Inward Foreign Direct Investments Affect Export Performance of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises in India? An Empirical Analysis

SINGHA, Seema,KUMAR, Brajesh,CHOUDHURY, Soma Roy Dey Korea Distribution Science Association 2022 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.9 No.9

This article examines the effect of inward foreign direct investments (FDI) on the export performance of micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs) in India, and investigates the spillover impact and absorption capacity of the MSMEs sector. For the first time, the researchers applied the intersectoral linkage approach to investigate the matter and used a panel dataset between 2006 and 2017. The coefficients of forward and backward linkages are estimated by using the Rasmussen method, the study employs a basic linear panel data model, followed by various diagnostic tests to identify the problem of heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation / serial correlation, cross-sectional dependencies, multicollinearity, time-individual specific tests, and unobserved effects. The PCSE model was applied for robust standard error and the Hausman-Taylor IV model to check the robustness of the result generated in the linear panel data model. Despite the high prevalence of forward and backward intersectoral connections and the Lack of absorption capacity of local firms, the results show that FDI has little of an impact on the export performance of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses in India. This study adds to the existing literature on determining local firms' spillover effect and absorption capacity in response to inward FDI.

Diversity and Utilisation of Floral Non Timber Forest Products by the Communities in Rural Meghalaya, North-East India

Marvellous B. Lynser,Brajesh Kumar Tiwari 강원대학교 산림과학연구소 2016 Journal of Forest Science Vol.32 No.1

The present study analyzes the diversity and usage of NTFPs and evaluates their importance in the day to day life of the people of rural Meghalaya. People use 172 NTFPs belonging to 139 plant species mainly for food, medicine and fuelwood and to a lesser extent for construction, handicrafts and ornamental purpose. These 139 plants belonged to 117 genera and 70 families with Rosaceae, Poaceae and Fagaceae families as the dominant NTFP yielding families. Fruits from shrubs and trees are most commonly harvested by people. Collection and availability of NTFPs for use as food are more during the summer season, which is also the period with least availability of job. NTFPs for subsistence use are greater in number than those having commercial value. The most commonly harvested plant parts are fruits and leaves. Roots, rhizomes and whole plants are extracted in lesser quantity which is a positive approach from sustainability point of view. NTFPs and other forest products also form a vital part of the rural household’s income generation activities.

New Genera of Flavonols and Flavonol Derivatives As Therapeutic Molecules

Nazneen Shaik Survey,Chandrama Prakash Upadhyaya,Brajesh Kumar,Ko Eun Young,윤도영,박세원 한국응용생명화학회 2011 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.54 No.1

Natural products from plants and microorganisms traditionally have provided the pharmaceutical industry with one of the most important sources of “lead” compounds in the search for new drugs and medicines. The diversity of polyphenol structure is enormous. They are classified into several classes, the most important polyphenol in our food being phenolic acids and flavonoids, which include flavonol as one of subgroups. Flavonols are a group of plant secondary metabolites containing hydroxyl in 3rd position of chromone ring of a ‘6+3’ flavonoid ring structure. Several health beneficial activities have been attributed to these naturally occurring plant flavonols, including antioxidative, anticarcinogenic, vasoprotective, anti-inflammatory, neurodegenerative, antidiabetic, antiplatelet activities, among which antioxidative properties remain the main topic investigated in recent years. The main aim of this review is to put forward the pharmacological importance of major flavonols and newly found flavonol derivatives from the last 10 years and their related bioactivity as lead compounds. The bioactivity of these flavonoids depends on structure-activity relationship (SARs), the flavonols being one of the structurally active compounds. Most studies have demonstrated their occurrence and their absorption in humans, but the question remains as to which form is actually absorbed: aglycone, glycosidic or both. The major flavonols such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, rutin, isorhamnetin, and galangin were found to exhibit anticancer activity. These flavonols also have positive effects on major diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. They are also found to have therapeutic value against osteoporosis, platelet aggregation, and antioxidant activity, the major action of prevention.
