Microbiological Examination of Milk Samples from Cow Udder Affected with Chronic Clinical Mastitis

Authors: Subha Ganguly, Praveen Kumar Praveen

Abstract- The present paper reports the microbiological examination and reporting of a clinical case of mastitis in cow and its recommended therapeutic management with the selected broad spectrum antibiotics. The indiscriminate and injudicious administration of antibiotics and irrational treatment of bovine mastitis with different antibiotics have invited serious complications like multiple drug resistance. Till date different types of antibiotics have been tried against the pathogens in bovine mastitis with or without identification and drug sensitivity testing.

Estimation of Methane Emission from Landfills Site and Open Dumping in Jabalpur City

Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed Siddiqui, Archana Paranjpe

Abstract-- Every day, Jabalpur generates approximately 3,000–4,000 tonnes of waste. A major fraction (72 %) of total waste is organic or wet waste, which degrades in the natural environment. This study is focused on the estimation of the carbon footprint of household waste generated in Jabalpur city. The results from two theoretical estimation methods, mass balance approach and default methodology, are compared with the measurement results derived from experimental values. Experiments revealed an emission of 0.013 g CH4/kg of organic fraction of municipal solid waste and 0.165 g CO2/kg, which is much lower compared to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change method (0.036 kg CH4/kg of waste) or theoretical approaches (0.355 kg CH4/kg, 0.991 kg CO2/kg of waste). This study is primarily focused on the estimation of total methane emission potential from waste disposal sites in Jabalpur city if it goes to landfill instead of open dumping and its effect on Jabalpur climatic changes. From the information on waste generation rate and total disposed waste amounts at Kathonda disposal sites in Jabalpur, total methane emission potential from these waste sources was estimated to be 0.388 Gg /year by IPCC method, considerably higher than 0.307 Gg /year predicted by Land GEM of EPA. If we convert open dumping into landfill site gases emitted from it can be used as a green energy asset.

Study of Various Queue Management and Random Early Detection technique in Mobile Ad hoc Network

Authors: Roshni Agrawal, Pratyush Sharma

Abstract- Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is selforganizing network of mobile devices which does not relay in any fixed infrastructure. Queue management plays a vital role in the performance of MANET. There are lot of queue management approaches which are already defined among which Active queue management approaches are the most widely used approaches. The Random Early Detection (RED) is one of the most popular active queue management approaches that achieve high throughput and low average delay by detecting and avoiding the inchoate congestion. The detection of inchoate congestion is predicated on calculation of average queue length and RED parameter settings. To avoid the congestion within the network, operators ought to have a priori estimations of average delay in congested routers, that is troublesome to estimate in Mobile unintentional Network because of uncertainty in dynamic the network conditions. To realize high throughput and low delay, it wants constant standardization of parameters in keeping with this traffic condition. Our goal during this paper is analyzed many active queue management and RED algorithms are mentioned.

Keywords— Throughput, AQM, Ad-hoc Network & RED.

Design of an Energy Efficient Information Gathering Routing Algorithm in WSN

Author : Ajay Sonkesriya

Abstract-In this paper, WSN proposes to design an energy-efficient routing protocol for the collection of data. One of the key tasks of the sensor nodes in the Wireless Sensor Network ( WSN) is to collect data and forward the collected data to the base station (BS). We are creating an energy routing protocol in this paper that can be accessed by nodes with the full residual energy for energy-efficient routing. Hence, to forward the data to BS, the highest residual energy nodes are chosen. This helps to provide a higher packet distribution ratio for a lower use of resources. The LEACH protocol and fuzzy C-means routing protocol have been chosen here. We are implementing authentication methods for data collection here along with the leach protocol. The data from the authenticated nodes is stored at the head of the cluster. RSA is used here for authentication purposes.

Keywords-- Base Station (BS), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Energy Efficient Routing Protocol, LEACH protocol, Fuzzy C-means (FCM), Authentication, RSA.
