Renewable Energy Resource (Biofuel) For Sustainable Future
Abstract: The equal distribution of resources should be for all, irrespective of rich or poor. There must be a balance between the need and consumption. The developed countries are utilizing more resources as compared to developing countries. This imbalance is responsible for rich becoming richer and poor becoming poorer. This is due to sharp increase in population in developing countries. To achieve a sustainable life style, there should be equal distribution …

An Environment: Wide or Wise?
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Thanks to the current technological revolution, our quality of life (and/ or of the global society) has been continually improving. In fact, this formed an important metric of comparison/weighting the quality of services provided by any nation/government. As a consequence, there was an overzealous exploitation of resources, downgrading the quality of environment. This work is a conceptual consideration of the balance …

Renewable Immunity: A Support to Humanity
Abstract: The “survival to the fittest” paradigm is invariably weighted w.r.t. competitiveness. This fitness is therefore constantly interacting both with the living races, and the dynamic nature, more than living –albeit in a complex way. While the former appear to tame nature, the fact is that latter demonstrates the superiority from time to time, in which the former attempt to truce with. The latter quality is called immunity especially when it …

Design of Feedback Loop for Ultra-sensitive Nano-g Resolution MEMS Tunneling Accelerometer
Abstract: The tunneling accelerometer often used for attitude control of micro and nano satellite can be operated both in open loop circuit as well as close loop circuit. Closed-loop operation improves the overall sensor linearity, dynamic range, and bandwidth. The interface circuitry in a closed-loop device reads the sensor signal and uses feedback to maintain the proof mass in a null position in a stable manner. In this paper we present …

¬¬¬Lycopene Protects Testes and Epididymal Sperm in BPA Exposed Adult Sprague-Dawley Rats
Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) is ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminant. Previous studies proved that BPA disrupt hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and oxidative balance. Numerous studies have clearly been reported that oxidative stress leads to male infertility by affecting testes and spermatozoa. On the other hand, lycopene has beneficial role on testes and spermatozoa by reducing the oxidative stress. Therefore, this study was conducted to delineate the protective role of lycopene by acting against …

Effect of Corticosteroids on Acrylamide Monomer Toxicity
Abstract: Acrylamide (ACR) is a chemical used in many industries around the world and more recently was found to form naturally in foods cooked at high temperatures. Acrylamide was shown to be a neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, and carcinogen in animal species. Only the neurotoxic effects were observed in humans and only at high levels of exposure in occupational settings. The mechanism underlying neurotoxin effects of ACR may be basic to the …
