As a part of continuing research, it is important for any country to identify technological advances in any field and create a national trust of information for use by researchers and general users. With reference to the marine sector, which is a prime sector for the development of any country, it is essential to create such data banks of information to cater to the needs of ship builders, ship owners and the researchers. This article discusses few of the processes involved for the creation of a maritime data bank. Keywords: Databank; Maritime Information; Marine Services;, 1 Introduction In these current days of Globalisation and competition associated with almost all facets of day to day life and business, there is a need for right information at [...]

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has garnered unprecedented global attention. It caused over 2.47 million deaths through various syndromes such as acute respiratory distress, hypercoagulability, and multiple organ failure. The viral invasion proceeds through the ACE2 receptor, expressed in multiple cell types, and in some patients caused serious damage to tissues, organs, immune cells, and the microbes that colonize the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Some patients who survived the SARS-CoV-2 infection have developed months of persistent long-COVID-19 symptoms or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Diagnosis of these patients has revealed multiple biological effects, none of which are mutually exclusive. However, the severity of COVID-19 also depends on numerous comorbidities such as obesity, age, diabetes, and hypertension and care must be taken with respect to other multiple morbidities, such as host immunity. Gut microbiota in relation to SARS-CoV-2 immunopathology is considered to evolve COVID-19 progression via mechanisms of biochemical metabolism, exacerbation of inflammation, intestinal mucosal secretion, cytokine storm, and immunity regulation. Therefore, modulation of gut microbiome equilibrium through food supplements and probiotics remains a hot topic of current research and debate. In this review, we discuss the biological complications of the physio-pathological effects of COVID-19 infection, GIT immune response, and therapeutic pharmacological strategies. We also summarize the therapeutic targets of probiotics, their limitations, and the efficacy of preclinical and clinical drugs to effectively inhibit the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

In this paper I studied the status and usage of library resources and services and library use opinion about library working hours, library physical facilities, library information sources and service of K L (Koneru Lakshmaiah Educational Foundation) University, Vijayawada. The collection development, library membership, staff position, working hours, library automation, services offered and availability of online resources are also discussed. A well structured questionnaire was managed to 300 faculty members, Research scholars and post graduation students to collect the primary data from respondents. A total number of 270 filled in questionnaires were received showing overall response rate of counterproductive to evaluate library users. The library users fully satisfied with library facilities, library working hours, information sources and library information services. KEYWORDS: Higher Education, Deemed universities, Academic libraries, University libraries, Library information sources, Library information services, INTRODUCTION The higher education system in India includes both private and public universities. Public universities are supported by the Government of India and the state governments, while private universities are [...]

In the past three decades, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become a leading area of research. Now days, WSN plays vital role for all kind of humanoid applications like research, automation, robotic industries etc. Most of the researches are contributing through their research works for WSN to simply the infrastructure, data communication, Security and shortest path signal communication. Eventually we come across the WSN issues and stated that Load Balancing, Security and shortest distance for transmission. Artificial Intelligence is the powerful technology for many kinds of applications. In this paper, we used Stochastic Gradient Decent Search (SGD) algorithm for optimizing the WSN signals.

Rhodopseudomonas palustris OU 11 photometabolizes heterocyclic aromatic compounds of pyrazine and pyridine groups after five to six weeks of adaptation to pyrazinoic acid. R. palustris grows on heterocyclic compounds in a light dependent manner. High concentrations of the heterocyclic compounds are toxic and suppress the growth of R. palustris.

Introduction Information literacy is a necessary skill that is utilitarian in every aspect of a person's life. For students, information literacy skills would lead to independent and student-centric learning, rather [...]

Information literacy (IL) plays a prominent role in the knowledge based society; especially effective use of IT based services and collaborative learning in the various levels of the educational system. This paper presents the findings of a survey on the level of information skills among the students of higher education. The scope of the study covers various aspects like awareness about the use of library resources, both print and electronic; knowledge about various sources of information including Internet; familiarity with and use of information communication technologies and copyright and fair use of information etc., Information literacy is a necessary skill that is utilitarian in every aspect of a person's life. For students, information literacy skills would lead to independent and student-centric learning, rather than [...]
