About the Cover

A scientist or discoverer, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms. This cover focuses on the persons may be an expert in one or more areas of science. (From the left to right and from the top to bottom), a) Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian, who has been "considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws, by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts abou the liocentrism and advancing the Scientific Revolution. b) Hippocrates (460 BC – 370 BC) was an ancient Greek physician of the Age of Pericles (Classical Athens), and is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is referred to as the father of medicine.

ANT–AODV Hybrid Protocol for MANETs

Anupriya P, Suba J

Reconfigurable wireless networks are called Ad hoc Networks, whose topology is continuously changing, self –adapting to the connectivity and propagation conditions and to the traffic and user mobility patterns. Mobile ad hoc networks are networks formed by mobile hosts without any infrastructure. This project combines the on demand routing capability of Ad Hoc – On demand Distance vector (AODV) routing protocol with a distributed topology discovery mechanism using ant like mobile agents.

Screening of auto antibodies using indirect immuno fluorescence in autoimmune predisposed individuals

Sunitha KG, Anban ST, Bharani K, Seena Raghunathan, Soji Cyriac

Autoimmune diseases arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body to its own cell components. The body loses its ability to distinguish between self and non-self thereby auto-antibodies against own cellular components are produced. These auto-antibodies were screened using Antinuclear antibody test (ANA) and characteristic patterns so formed were visualized using Immuno Fluorescent microscopy (IF).

Isolation and identification of secondary metabolites producing organisms from marine sponge

Niyaz Ahamed MI

Sponges are among the simplest of multicellular animals and often described as the most primitive of all. This study is focused on the identification of the organisms which produce secondary metabolites and extraction of metabolites from marine sponges which exhibit antibacterial activities. This work also analyzes the confirmation of the secondary metabolites by thin layer chromatography.

In-silico analysis and identification of Bordetella sp. from domestic waste water

Geetha S, Brindha V

Discharge of house hold waste water into surface water may present a variety of concerns such as high biochemical oxygen demand, significant nutrient inputs, high suspended solids, ecosystem disturbance and health hazard due to potential pathogens. House hold waste water consists of black water (urine and faeces) and grey water from the kitchen, bathroom and washing machine.
