Effect of different concentrations of mercuric iodide on the growth of Microcystis spp.
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are commonly called as blue green algae which are abundantly distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem. They are procaryotic autotrophic organisms and have thallus structure. Such organisms are actively involved in the biological nitrogen fixation which can fix the atmospheric nitrogen and converts into ammonia compounds. Plants can utilize such converted components for their growth and metabolic activities. Since they are diazotrophs which is the suitable supplement to …

Demodex spp. (Acari: Demodicidae) Infestation in Humans: Diagnostic Clues and Therapeutic Approaches to Primary and Secondary Demodicosis.
Abstract: Demodicosis represents an inflammatory dermatosis and adnexal disorder arising from pathologic overgrowth of Demodex mites, primarily Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are ubiquitous human ectoparasites residing in pilosebaceous units and eyelid margins. Once regarded as benign commensals, these mites are now recognized as primary drivers or key cofactors in diverse clinical phenotypes, including papulopustular eruptions, pityriasis folliculorum, rosacea-like disorders, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and exacerbations of comorbid dermatoses such …

A Resource Efficient Fast Recovery Strategy for Survivable WDM Networks
Abstract: ABSTRACT In WDM networks when failure occurs, huge amount of data is lost in a fraction of second. Therefore, the failed connection request must be re-routed through backup route as soon as possible. For achieving fast connection recovery, the primary lightpath is either link or segmented protected. However, the strategies result in inefficient utilization of resources. In this paper, we present a resource efficient parallel signaling-shared path protection (PS-SPP) based …
