Structural Analyses of SoxY and SoxZ Proteins from Epsilonproteobacterium Sulfurimonas denitrificans: A Structural Bioinformatics Approach
Abstract: Abstract:Molecular level participation of epsilonproteobacteria for the global sulfur oxidation phenomena is an essential zone to be indulged with. Epsilonproteobacteria aids in the microbial sulfur metabolism both at and beneath the seafloor. For the recycling of the inorganic sulfur compounds, microbial redox reactions are one of the responsible and most important reactions to maintain the environmental sulfur balance. These reactions are carried out by phylogenetically diverse sets of microorganisms. The …

Extraction of Retinal Features in Fundus Images for Glaucoma Diagnosis
Abstract: Glaucoma is a major cause for blindness, identified early by the structural changes of optic nerve head in the retina. Retinal image analysis is emerging as an important screening tool for prior detection of eye diseases. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss and it is considered as second leading cause for blindness worldwide. In this research work, …

Pulse Oximeter using PSoC
Abstract: A pulse oximeter to measure the oxygen saturation in blood as well as heart rate was developed using PSoC. The method proposed here is to transmit light of two different wavelengths through the finger and tissues and to measure the change in absorption intensities. The signals are obtained as photoplethysmograph (PPG) waveforms. The pulse oximeter finds the variations in both the waveforms and calculates the SpO2 and heart rate of …

Energy Meter Reading Automation using Global System for Mobile
Abstract: Electronic Energy Meter (EEM) is based on digital microtechnology (DMT) and uses no moving parts. So the EEM is known as “Static Energy Meter”. In EEM the accurate functioning is controlled by a specially designed IC called ASIC (application specified integrated circuit). ASIC is constructed only for specific applications using Embedded System Technology. Energy meter reading is very costly nowadays. It is because the meter reader people goes to each …
