Biochemical Characterization of Mutant Strains and Cloning of Lactate Dehydrogenase Gene from Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract: An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. About 15 million (>25%) of 57 million annual deaths worldwide are estimated to be related directly to infectious diseases. The burden of morbidity (ill health) and mortality associated with infectious diseases falls most heavily on people in developing countries and particularly on infants and children diseases. Infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death; the …

Wear Characterization of Al/B4C/CNT Composites for Different Alloying Composition
Abstract: Wear is a surface phenomenon that occurs predominantly at the surface of the material. It is majorly due to the rubbing action between two surfaces that is attributed to solid state contact. As wear is a material removal phenomena occurring at the outer surfaces, it is indeed very apt to develop materials that have wear resistant characteristics. Henceforth in the current work, it is therefore judicially justified to develop a …

Thyroid Disorders in Regard to Aetiology, Clinical Patterns, Management
Abstract: Thyroid disorders are one of the important and common endocrine problems encountered in clinical and occupational practice in all age groups more frequently in women and in adult population. Amongst all the functional thyroid disorders, hypothyroidism is far more common than hyperthyroidism. Recognition of this condition at an early stage can delay the progression to overt disease. Appropriate use of biochemical test, i.e., thyroid function test can delineate practically all …

Dynamic Hardness Trend of Tribological Steels Used for Advanced Power Transmission Assembly
Abstract: Gravity drop technique was used for measuring dynamic hardness trend of M50, 52100 and 4340 tribological steels. Work hardened state increased dynamic hardness, while shear bands and dynamic recovery of dislocations induced dynamic softening. Descending order of work hardening for the investigated steels is M50-52100-4340. The threshold strain to begin the softening gradually increases in the order M50-52100-4340 steels. Descending order of work softening beyond threshold strain for the investigated …
