Conversion of Deterministic and Non-Deterministic Finite Automata to Regular Expression using Brzozowski Algebraic Method[ ]


Regular expressions are widely used in the field of compiler design, text editor, search for an email- address, train track switches, pattern matching, context switching and in many other areas of computer science. Regular expressions are used to represent certain set of string in algebraic manner. The demand of converting regular expression into finite automata and vice versa motivates research into some alternative so that time taken for above is minimized. For conversion of deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata to regular expression, Brzozowski Algebraic method, also known as Arden’s Theorem is used in this paper because of its simplicity and straight forwardness.

DETECTION OF MALICIOUS URLs IN BIG DATA USING RIPPER ALGORITHM[ ]


‘Big Data’ is the term that describes a large amount of datasets. Datasets like web logs, call records, medical records, military surveillance, photography archives, etc. are often so large and complex, and as the data is stored in Big Data in the form of both structured and unstructured therefore, big data cannot be processed using database queries like SQL queries. In big data, malicious URLs have become a station for internet criminal activities such as drive- by-download, information warfare, spamming and phishing. Malicious URLs detection techniques can be classified into Non-Machine Learning (e.g. blacklisting) and Machine learning approach (e.g. data mining techniques). Data mining helps in the analysis of large and complex datasets in order to detect common patterns or learn new things.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Antifungal Potential of Some New Derivatives of benzylidene and azetidinones[ ]


Schiff bases and azetidinones form an important structural class possessing wide spectrum of biological activities that include antibacterial and antifungal activity. A large number of fungicides are formulated as wettable powders; this is the form most commonly used for spray mixes.Nodern wettable powerders are easily wetted and disperse well in water . They simply inhibit fungus growth temporarily.If the fungus is freed from such substance, it would revive. Such a chemical is called a ‘’fungistat” and the phenomenon of temporarily inhibiting the growth is ‘’fungistasis” .

Improving the tribological efficacy of viscosupplementation in the knee joint by the synergetic behavior of albumin[ ]


The effectiveness of viscosupplementation in the knee joint is not consistent and this cannot stop the wear rate of cartilage. The study carried out by the author revealed the effectiveness of viscosupplementation. This work is focused on the improvement of the efficacy of tribological behavior in viscosupplementation and reduces the wear rate of cartilage by adding albumin in hyaluronic acid (HA). The methodology is unique by using a bovine plug as the pin and the synovial fluid is prepared by ultrasonically mixed with HA and Albumin.

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF EFFECT OF SUBLETHAL DOSE OF OXYTETRACYCLINE AND GARLIC ON GROWTH INDICES OF INDIAN CATFISH, CLARIAS BATRACHUS (LINNAEUS)[ ]


An initial study was made to assess the effects of sublethal dose of oxytetracycline and garlic on certain growth indices of Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus) (55.0±5.0g and 20.0±1.5cm). The acute toxicity tests have also been carried out and data were analyzed using regression analysis to determine 24hr-96hr LC50 values. The mean values for 96hr-LC50 dose of oxytetracycline and garlic were calculated 648.819 mg l-1 and 6662.25mg kg-1 respectively. The results indicated that oxytetracycline is moderately/slightly toxic but garlic seems least toxic/practically non-toxic for this fish. Clarias batrachus had been fed twice daily with commercial feed at 5% body weight for 60 days. Fish were assigned to seven treatments with three replicates each.

STUDIES ON THE BIODEGRADATION OF SURFACTANT SODIUM DODECYL SULPHATE (SDS) BY MICROORGANISM IN BHOPAL, INDIA[ ]


Surfactants are the largest class of compounds present in raw domestic wastewater. They are used in household and industrial laundry and cleaning operations. SDS is an anionic surfactant widely used all over the world, and it is an important foaming component of shampoos, toothpaste and detergents. Surfactants cause foam at sewage treatment plants and pollute underground water. Due to their toxic nature, their presence endangers the aquatic flora and fauna. Large quantities of SDS are released to the environment and this can cause problems in sewage treatment facilities due to their foaming capabilities and toxicity.
