Antibiotic Resistance: Molecular Mechanisms of Resistance
Abstract: Antibiotics are called as ‘Wonder Drugs’, the miracles of modern sciences. They help combat bacteria and prevent their growth. But due to unmonitored and uncontrolled consumption of these antibiotics, there is an emergence of antibiotic resistance. This has led to a series of downfall in the therapeutic potency and efficacy of many drugs. More and more bacteria are becoming Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR); such highly resistant strains of certain bacteria are …

A brief review on Influenza A virus (H 3 N 2 ) and its effects in human with precondition
Abstract: A primary cause of human influenza is the viral genus Influenzavirus A, of which H3N2 is a subtype. The virus has undergone various mutations, resulting in the emergence of different strains, affecting pigs, humans, and birds. H3N2 exchanges internal protein-coding genes with other influenza subtypes through reassortment. The H3N2 virus, which is a type of seasonal influenza A virus, is still circulating globally and is causing symptoms very similar to …

Effect of Fillet Radius on Bending Stress in Helical Gear using FEA
Abstract: A well-optimized change in root fillet radius could greatly benefit helical gear operation by providing a smoother transmission with less impact and noise. The fillet area of the gear root is an area of extensive bending stress concentration. An increase in fillet radius for helical gears is considered to minimise the bending stress at the gear tooth's base. This paper develops appropriate models of various gear tooth profiles of the …
