A Study on the Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on Mobile Phone Devices
Abstract: Mobile phone devices are indispensable accessories in social life used for communication. The users normally do not clean their cell phones which, therefore, serve as a reservoir of potential pathogenic bacteria. The devices are the vehicles of pathogen transmission in both health and non-healthcare settings. The presence of multiple drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus is very important as it can cause both hospital- and community-acquired infections. The present study is …

Aerofoil Profile Analysis and Design Optimisation
Abstract: The aerofoil section is the incarnation of a wing or a lifting surface which is very important in an airplane wing design. While the shape of the aerofoil changes, their aerodynamic characteristics also change. This paper deals with a standard symmetrical aerofoil as reference and the effect of changes in shape due to minor variations in the coordinates. Eight new aerofoil shapes have been produced in this optimisation process. The …

Didactic Handling of Digital Number System in Teaching and Learning Process
Abstract: The teaching of complicated subjects like that of the digital number system, presents extensive comprehension difficulties to students. This is attributed due to the lack of didactics and pedagogical competencies of young teachers. However through problem solving based learning techniques employed by students/teachers, the subjects can be made interesting and simple. The modus operandi is by using a structured problem solving terminology and steps. This case study attempts to exemplify …

Evolution: Boosters, Drivers and plausible Models
Abstract: Evolution has often been interpreted as the positive natural selection, paving the path for adaptive improvement in biological genetic information. Evolution yielding functionally adapted protein molecules is much more complex than DNA. Constraints mediating the rate, path and altered convergence of functionally evolved proteins are justified to elaborate their functional role in evolution. All additional stress factors as per the constrained micro-environment imposed on a cell system delineate the evolutionary …
