A Bidirectional Bayesian Monte Carlo Approach for Estimating Parameters of a Profile Hidden Markov Model
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are statistical models frequently applied for modeling biological sequences. A Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) is one of the applications of HMMs in bioinformatics. Estimating parameters of PHMM is one of the main challenges in applying them [...]

Sub lethal effect of copper on bioaccumulation in the spiny lobster, Panulirus homarus, (Linnaeus,1758)
The spiny lobster Panulirus homarus were exposed to sublethal effects of copper and the accumulation of copper were analysed in muscle, hepatopancreas and gill tissues. The LC50 96hrs values 95.5µg/l in spiny lobster were estimated and various sublethal concentrations like 9.55µg/l and [...]

Water saving and eggplant response to subsurface drip irrigation
New irrigation methods are being explored to find ways to save more water without losing the benefits of irrigation. Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation of the conventional surface drip irrigation. This study was conducted to evaluate the surface drip irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation’s application effects [...]

Rapid regeneration and efficient acclimatization of aromatic indica rice varieties
Aromatic rice has a stronger aroma than ordinary rice and is very popular in South-East Asia. The present investigation was performed to optimize protocol for somatic embryogenesis and regeneration and to identify developmental stages of somatic embryos in different aromatic rice cultivars of rice. For all [...]

Synthesis of some substituted-1, 2, 4-triazole derivatives and investigation of their antimicrobial activities
The syntheses of a series of some sustituted-1, 2, 4-triazole derivatives are described. The reaction of sodium salt of α-sulphonated of stearic acid hydrazide (1) with carbon disulphide in alcoholic KOH yielded the corresponding sodium 1-(4-amino-5-mercapto-4H-[1, 2, 4]-triazol-3yl) heptadecane-1-sulfonate (2). The reaction of [...]
