Title : Role of Machine Learning in Computational Toxicity Prediction
Authors : Ankur Omer

It is necessary to do study on how to predict toxicity since actually conducting toxicity testing may be both time-consuming and expensive. Bioinformatics tools can save time and money. Ever since its start, it has consistently delivered results. The process of analysing and classifying data is an essential component of bioinformatics. Because of their speed and low cost, in silico approaches have gained popularity in recent years for evaluating the kinetic and toxic behaviour of drugs. Machine learning is a potent tool for exploring in vitro and in vivo data for previously undiscovered complicated combinatorial associations. It has found useful applications in areas as varied as predicting pharmacodynamic characteristics and protein activities, identifying spam, locating oil spills, and recognising human voices. Algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and Self Organizing Maps (SOMs), as well as the difficulties they present, the potential ties they may one day forge, and the web-based toxicity prediction tools have been discussed in this article.

Title : 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor - alpha (TNF-α) Induced Janus Kinase-1 (JNK-1) Activation and Apoptosis in Breast Cancer in p21 Dependent Manner
Authors : Karan Singh Saini , Vijay Turkar,Rituraj Konwar

Beside established primary reproductive functions, the male hormone androgen act as a growth and survival factor for most of its target tissues. Though male androgenic hormones are widely studied, still some aspects of underlying mechanisms are not completely clear. In addition to their influence on female reproductive hormones which are considered to be crucial factor in breast carcinogenesis, several reports shows that male androgenic hormones may have direct influences on breast cancer tissues. Here, we have used dihydrosterone as model of male androgen to understand its impact on some major molecular circuitry and their by in the process of breast carcinogenesis. We observed that DHT convincingly inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) induced Janus Kinase-1 (JNK-1) activation and apoptosis in breast cancer cells, MCF-7 in p21 dependent manner. Inhibition by androgen requires the transcription activity of androgen receptor (AR) and de novo protein synthesis. AndrogenAR induces expression of p21 that in turn inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α induced JNK activation and apoptosis. Our results reveal a novel cross-talk between AR and JNK in breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, thereby providing a molecular mechanism underlying the survival function of androgen on its target tissues or organ.

Title : Capture time of carriers and photons density in quantum spin lasers
Authors : seyede nasrin hosseinimotlagh,simin avazzadeh

Here we describe the structure of two types of quantum spin laser form type quantum dots and wells according to the bucket model. Then, with according to the structures, we study the laser equations first in the conventional state, then we propagate the spin state to better gain. That is, carriers and photons density, with according to the optical gain in both the conventional and spin states, is ratio to time. In the end, we examine the system in a steady state for a state not captured (τ_c=0ps) and after passing (τ_c=2ps), which is captured and photons produced.

Title : Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its association with type 2 diabetes in south Indian patients
Authors : Drala Srinivasa Rao,Pravesh Verma,Nancy Jennifer,Prathapavarma Digala,Carol Pereira

Metabolic syndrome is describes as a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, such as, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycaemia and hypertension. There are so many risk factors are common in Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and many of these risk factors are highly correlated with one another. The risk factors of the metabolic syndrome are of metabolic origin and composed of atherogenic dyslipidemia, high plasma glucose level, elevated blood pressure, a prothrombotic state, and a pro inflammatory state. The management of persons with metabolic syndrome should have to focus not only on blood glucose control but also includes approaches for reduction of other cardiovascular disease risk factors. The present study aims to understand the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its association with type 2 diabetes. The study group included 150 type 2 diabetes patients in the age group ranging between 20-80 years. Waist and hip circumference, BMI, Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and Cholesterol tests like HDL and Triglycerides was determined. Prevalence of individual risk factor for metabolic syndrome was determined out of 150 patients and 97 patients were observed with high blood pressure, 85 patients were observed with low levels of HDL, 60 patients were observed with central obesity, 45 patients were observed with high triglycerides and all 150 patients were observed with diabetes.

Title : Cancer Systems Biology & Epidemiology: Application in Target Identification, Combinatorial Drug Therapy & Personalized Medicine
Authors : Navneet Kumar Yadav,Ankur Omer,Poonam Singh,R. K. Singh

Cancer-signalling networks are typically complex which involves gene regulation, signalling, cell metabolism, and the alterations in its dynamics caused by the several different types of mutations leading to malignancy. Computational model of networks make possible to understand the complex behaviour of cancer-signalling network. Correlation between complexity (clustering coefficient) of cancer-signalling network pathway and Cancer Epidemiological data sets (Cancer incidence, Death rate and lifetime risk of cancer) has been validated. Results of study support the initial assumption, that the complexity of network matrices is a direct indicator of cancer threat. Understanding the differential behaviour of regulatory networks during health, disease and in response to drugs play a crucial role to enhance drug development efforts, new target identification, delineation of off-target effects, methods of disease prediction, combinatorial drug regimens and also in development of molecularly targeted personalized treatment.

Title : Anti-inflammatory plants: an elementary review
Authors : Pravesh Verma,Apoorva Tiwari,Rishabh Sharma,Neeraj Kumar

The inflammatory action is described as a chain of events that arise in response to noxious stimuli, infection or trauma. Various botanical species and plant parts comprise a diverse array of polyphenolic non-steroidal phytochemicals that are incorporated as floral pigments for the attraction of insects as their pollination. Various autoimmune disorders are defined by distinct inflammation and associated failure of the repair process. Pro-inflammatory molecules like TNF, certain interleukins, prostaglandins and even pathogenic concentration of nitric oxide are instrumental in raising such response. More interestingly, nitric oxide has been shown to have the ability to stimulate COX-2 showing a potential synergism. Bryophyllum pinnatum commonly known in some parts of Africa as “good luck” or “resurrection plant”, often used as an herbal remedy for human disorders, including: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, rheumatism, joint pains, insect bites, arthritis, bruises, wounds, boils, abscesses, headaches, and body pains. The leaves are also used for inguinal lymphadenitis and ear diseases. Rue contains different active compounds, out of them rutin, a flavonoid, is known to have nitric oxide scavenging activity.

Title : Experimental study of the mechanical characteristics of mortars produced with a binder containing two cow dung ashes
Authors : Ernesto Cabral Houehanou,Marx Ferdinand Ahlinhan,Emmanuel Timothée Olodo,Gérard Léopold Gbaguidi-Aisse,Gérard Degan

This study concerns the evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of five mortars produced with a binder containing different proportions of cow dung ash produced in laboratory with objective to its using as additional mineral in the production of mortars. Five other mortars are produced with the same binder containing the same proportions cow dung ash produced traditionally and a standard mortar (control) is also produced with the same binder without any mineral in addition. Some compressive strength tests are carried out on test specimens of mortar (40x40x160 mm3 ). The compressive strength and chemical characteristic allowed us to estimate and to compare the mechanical characteristics and the pozzolanic activity ratio of both used ashes. The pozzolanic activity ratio of both types of cow dung ash is estimated to 75% and 68% in 28 days. The mechanical characteristics of the mortars containing some cow dung ash produced in laboratory are superior for the greater part to those of the mortars containing some cow dung ash produced traditionally. On the other hand, the medium-term (56 and 90 days) mechanical characteristics of the mortars containing until 15 % of cow dung ash produced in laboratory are equivalent to those of reference mortar.

Title : Build very simple design and cost effective Geiger-Muller counter
Authors : Newaz Morshed Remon,Captain Md. Tanjir Hassan,Md. Shamim Hassan,Md. Ghulam Zakir

This paper describes our first undergraduate project experience, final report and findings on the subject matter. Initially according to our project title, we were focused on developing a low cost detector which can detect radiation only. To make one of these kinds of detector doesn't take much and can be prepared at fairly low cost being very common project in nuclear science arena. The Geiger-Muller tube, or GM tube, is an extremely useful and inexpensive way to detect radiation. While the GM tube can only detect the presence and intensity of radiation, this is often all that is needed.

Title : Effect of salinity on some morphophysiological characters of somatic embryogenesis-regenerated plants of pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. cv. Smooth Cayenne]
Authors : Kouadio Oi Kouadio Samuel,Yapo Edwige Sopie Salomé,Coulibaly Souleymane,Kouakou Tanoh Hilaire

Pineapple in Côte d'Ivoire is going through problems of various origins. Reviving this state imperatively requires both to clean up the plant material and to select varieties which easily adapt to the current pedoclimatic conditions of growing areas. This work assesses the impact of salinity on regenerated pineapple plants by somatic embryogenesis. The tests were carried out in polyethylene bags filled with sea sand, under semi-controlled conditions. Regenerated pineapple plants were watered with six saline solutions (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 14 g/L). Control plants were watered with water. The results revealed that salt stress reduces the studied morphophysiological parameters (number of leaves and roots, length of leaves and roots, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content, the carotenoids content and the relative water content). Pineapple tolerates low salt levels (2 and 4 g/L). However, important disturbances were observed in the metabolism of stressed plants with high levels of NaCl (6 and 10 g/L). As an adaptation strategy to maintain its metabolism from this stress, pineapple responded by accumulating proline. The highest saline content (14 g/L) was found to be lethal for pineapple plants.

Title : i AMF – Centralized database of arbuscular mycorrhizal distribution, phylogeny and taxonomy
Authors : Manju M. Gupta,Nikhat Naqvi,Prabhat Kumar

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal database, named iAMF (www.amfungi.aurobindo.du.ac.in) is first digital database on biodiversity and phylogeny of these beneficial fungi in India. It provides access to data on 161 species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) along with comprehensive information on their GPS location of reported occurrence, taxonomy, molecular sequence, phylogeny and bibliography. The database is based on primary data collected by authors through ongoing surveys (year 2009-2017) and secondary data from earlier studies (2008–2016). Data is carefully curated to verify that it corresponds to the reference publication and a valid species name is used. Apart from being ecological meta-analysis data source, it would have significant application in selection of non-indigenous AMF inoculum in agriculture, reforestation, horticultural and land reclamation practices.

Statement of Human and Animal Rights

In the research work where human subjects or material were involved, all authors should clearly declare that entire experiment work was done as per ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (both institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 and 2008. In case of animal experiments, authors should clearly reveal that all experimental procedures were done according to institutional and national guidelines for animal care and laboratory use.

Statement of Informed Consent

Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) provides written informed consent for publication. Authors should also identify individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve; however, informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate to ensure anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect the patient, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should guarantee that alterations do not distort scientific meaning.
