Bioactive pigments from marine bacteria and their applications
Marine environments produce several unique natural compounds. Over the past two decades, marine product research, including microorganisms, has grown quickly. Science is growing interested in microbial metabolites, especially those with unique colour pigments, due to their extensive pharmacological activity despite the difficulties of isolating and harvesting marine microbes. Studies on morphology and biochemistry characterised the selected microorganisms. Both Micrococcus sp and Brevibacterium sp were identified. The data showed that Micrococcus sp's pigment was 2-Amino-N-(2 ((3,3- dimethyl cyclohex-1-enyl) methyl amino)-2-oxo ethyl) acetamide and Brevibacterium sp's was 2,5-Diphenyl-1H-pyrrole. The laboratory-scale growth and pigment generation of pigmented bacteria was also measured utilising one-factor-at-a-time. Crude pigments were tested for anti-microbial, wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Pigments' food colouring and dyeing capability were also assessed.

Formulation of Whey Based Ready-To-Serve Fruit Beverages
Whey based beverages with different concentrations of tomato and sweet orange juice and standard ingredients of RTS beverage were prepared. These beverages were analyzed for physico chemical parameters like pH, acidity, TSS, ascorbic acid, total sugars, reducing sugars, lycopene, microbial quality (bacteria, yeast, and mold), shelf life and acceptability. The beverages were stored till spoilage and analysis was carried out at 15 days interval.The results indicated that on storage, acidity and reducing sugars increased significantly whereas pH, total sugars, ascorbic acid and lycopene decreased significantly in all the treatments. TSS did not change appreciably during storage and no microbial growth was observed up to 30 days but from then onwards yeast and mold growth was observed. Scores for all sensory parameters decreased with the increase in storage period. Significant decrease in scores was observed after 45 days to 60 days of storage. The best treatment was found to be whey: tomato (65:35) of all the whey based tomato RTS beverage and whey: sweet orange (65:35) of all whey based sweet orange RTS beverage.
Dopamine Signaling Importance in Human body
Dopamine, also called hydroxytyramine, a nitrogen-containing organic compound formed as an intermediate compound from dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) during the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine. It is the precursor of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine.Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is produced in the substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area, and hypothalamus of the brain. Dysfunction of the dopamine system has been implicated in different nervous system diseases. The level of dopamine transmission increases in response to any type of reward and by a large number of strongly additive drugs. The role of dopamine dysfunction as a consequence of oxidative stress is involved in health and disease.
Modern Approaches to Teaching Fundamental Medical Biological Sciences
60% of students rated the level of preparation in this area of education as "good", 10% as "excellent" and 30% as "satisfactory".However, 35% of employers (heads of special educational institutions) believe that graduates should work independently to improve the knowledge, qualifications and skills they have acquired at higher educational institutions; 44% consider the volume of knowledge acquired to be insufficient, and 51% note the lack of competence in applying the knowledge gained in special education methods and correctional and developmental work in practice.The above examples indicate the need to increase the effectiveness of introducing new, scientifically based methods of training defectologists (bachelor and master's degrees).
Generalized Modelling And Simulation Of Three Phase Induction Motor
This book presents a step by step Simulink implementation of an induction machine using dq0 axis transformations of the stator and rotor variables in the arbitrary reference frame. At first we have studied few journals and then drafted the equations needed for this project implementation. Then using Matlab/Simulink we have transformed the equations into block. After this a generalized model of a three phase induction motor is developed and implemented. Electromagnetic torque, Speed, Direct and quadrature axis stator currents & Voltages characteristics are found out by varying loads and compared with theoretical results. The proposed system has been developed and simulated by using Matlab/Simulink.

Viral Hepatitis in Asia and the Pacific
Viral Hepatitis in Asia and the Pacific: Towards Elimination as a Public Health Threat documents the narratives, innovations, and scope of work in the Asia-Pacific region in starting, consolidating, and moving towards the elimination of viral hepatitis. The Asia-Pacific region is disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis, accounting for two-thirds of the global burden. Countries from low-, middle- and high-income economies have adopted different strategies to address combating and eliminating viral hepatitis. The successful experiences of the Asia-Pacific region are valuable for other regions, especially the middle- and low-income countries moving towards the achievement of the 2030 goal of elimination. Strategies discussed include integrated approaches, negotiating universal access to diagnostics, and treatment options, including vaccines. Content further covers the critical barriers to achieve the 2030 targets for elimination of viral hepatitis and how to overcome them. This is the perfect reference for all hepatology researchers and elimination policy advocates who are dedicated to joining the fight for the 2030 goal of the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat.

Mupirocin Resistant MRSA - A New Threat in Management
Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic used to treat superficial skin infections and to control spread of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The existence of mupirocin resistance among MRSA isolates is cause for concern since there are not many effective alternatives for mupirocin resistant strains. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic resistant strains for commonly used antibiotics. Thus, a detailed study is required with regard to proper antibiotic usage and susceptibility testing, irrespective of the organisms isolated from samples to find out the resistance patterns. Hence, we believe that our study will provide information to Clinicians in prescribing effective and appropriate antimicrobial agents against a very important hospital acquired infection such as MRSA to help improve the health care system.

The Marine Microbial Food Web
An authoritative and up-to-date exploration of how the competition-defence trade-off has shaped the marine microbial food web In The Marine Microbial Food Web: Competition and Defence as Shaping Forces from Ecosystem to Genes, distinguished researcher Tron Frede Thingstad delivers an insightful and practical discussion of the microbial portion of the ocean's food web. The author describes how specific factors, including evolution, biodiversity, organism life strategies, genome organization, biogeochemistry, food web structure, and population dynamics, can be understood as the consequences of the balance between competition and defence. Using modular idealized mathematical models developed from classical Lotka-Volterra formulations, the book describes models that explain the balance between production and consumption of organic material in the photic zone and the potential for export to the ocean's interior. It also explains how the models are relevant to contemporary climate change and a variety of other modern applications. Readers will also find: A thorough explanation of why the pathogenicity of many "L-strategists" probably originated as coincidental evolution from originally evolved mechanisms for predator defence Comprehensive explorations of to the role of the marine microbial food web in ocean biogeochemistry and production Practical discussions of simple mathematical models of competition, defence, trade-off, and fitness Fulsome treatments of a wide range of organization levels, including individual cells and larger communities of organisms Perfect for researchers, students, and instructors of marine ecology, marine microbiology, and microbial oceanography, The Marine Microbial Food Web will also prove invaluable to limnologists, oceanographers, and students with an interest in applied mathematics.
