The purpose of this study was to identify the digital curation practices in Institutional
Repositories (IRs) in South India.
A voluntary survey was conducted among the IR managers of 23 South Indian IRs, and the
response rate was 87%.
This study found that the active participation of South Indian IRs was only seen in a few digital
curation activities. However, Of the 33 digital curation activities analyzed, the active
participation of IRs was only seen in ten digital curation activities. The performance of
preservation activities was extremely low, and disagreements were recorded by the survey
participants towards several digital curation activities. The most disagreed digital curation
activities were emulation and cease data curation. All the participants had assigned metadata and
allowed file download in their IRs. Raman Research Institute had provided a good number of
digital curation services in their IR.
This is an in-depth study investigating the digital curation practice currently underway in South
Indian IRs, and the researcher could not find similar studies in this niche.

Abstract:
Long Term Digital Preservation (LTDP) is a secure and trustworthy mechanism to ingest, process, store, manage, protect, find, access, and interpret digital information such that the same information can be used at some arbitrary point in the future in spite of obsolescence of everything: hardware, software, processes, format, people, etc

Abstract:
The direction dependant wavelength selective transmission mechanism in poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) rods doped with C 540 dye and C 540:Rh.B dye mixture as a combination has been
investigated. When a polished slice of pure C 540 doped polymer rod was used side by side with a C540:Rh B
doped rod with acceptor concentration [A] = 7x10-4 m/l , we could notice more than 100% change in the
transmitted intensity along opposite directions at the C 540, Rh B emission and the excitation wavelengths . A
blue high bright LED emitting at a peak wavelength 465nm was used as the excitation source.

Abstract:
In everyday life different flows of customers to avail some service facility or other at some service station are experienced. In some of these situations, congestion of items arriving for service, because an item cannot be serviced Immediately on arrival, is unavoidable. A queuing system can be described as customers arriving for service, waiting for service if it is not immediate, and if having waited for service, leaving the system after being served. Examples Include shoppers waiting in front of checkout stands in a supermarket, Programs waiting to be processed by a digital computer, ships in the harbor Waiting to be unloaded, persons waiting at railway booking office etc. A queuing system is specified completely by the following characteristics: input or arrival pattern, service pattern, number of service channels, System capacity, queue discipline and number of service stages. The ultimate objective of solving queuing models is to determine the characteristics that measure the performance of the system

Abstract:
This paper compares the most common digital signal processing methods of exon
prediction in eukaryotes, and also proposes a technique for noise suppression in exon prediction.
The specimen used here which has relevance in medical research, has been taken from the public
genomic database - GenBank.Here exon prediction has been done using the digital signal processing methods viz.
binary method, EIIP (electron-ion interaction psuedopotential) method and filter methods. Under
filter method two filter designs, and two approaches using these two designs have been tried. The
discrete wavelet transform has been used for de-noising of the exon plots.Results of exon prediction based on the methods mentioned above, which give values
closest to the ones found in the NCBI database are given here. The exon plot de-noised using
discrete wavelet transform is also given.Alterations to the proven methods as done by the authors, improves performance
of exon prediction algorithms. Also it has been proven that the discrete wavelet transform is an
effective tool for de-noising which can be used with exon prediction algorithms

Abstract:
This is a study in labour law.. Dismissal of workmen in private lndustrial sector is the area of this study. Confined within the framework of the Industrial Disputes act 1947, the study is an analytical assessment of the decisions of the supreme Court of India. on dismissal in industrial
employment. Few attempts were made in the past to analyse on identical lines the problems in this area. Hence what is| written in this thesis is ones own. Dismissal carries a stigma. the dismissed employee may find it difficult to get alternative employment especially in a land of severe unemployment. The need for law with built in safeguards against arbitrary dismissal cannot be overemphasized. From this perspective the study examines to what extent the industrial disputes act 1947 provides protection and how far the protection is adequate.

Abstract:
Information on the distribution of dissolved Folin phenol active substances (FPAS)
such as tannin and lignin in the seawater along the west coast of India is provided.
Notable amounts of FPAS (surface concentrations: 80 f.1gll to 147 f.1gll and bottom
concentrations: 80 f.1gll to 116 f.1gll) were detected in the seawater along the coast. The
distribution pattern brings about a general depth-wise decrease. A seaward decrease
was observed in the southern stations whereas reverse was the case in northern stations.
A significant negative correlation was observed between FPAS concentration
and dissolved oxygen in sub-surface samples. The appreciable amounts of FPAS detected
in the coastal waters indicate the presence of organic matter principally originating
from terrestrial (upland and coastal marsh) ecosystems in the marine environment.
In this context, they may be used as tracers to determine the fate of coastalborn
dissolved organic matter in the ocean and to determine directly the relationship
between allochthonous and autochthonous organic matter

Abstract:
Emergence of drug resistance among pathogenic bacteria to currently available antibiotics has intensified the search for novel bioactive compounds from unexplored habitats. In the present study actinomycetes were isolated from two relatively unexplored and widely differing habitats such as mountain and wetlands and their ability to produce antibacterial substances were analyzed. Pure cultures of actinomycetes were identified by morphological and biochemical tests. Various genera of actinomycetes encountered included Nocardia, Pseudonocardia, Streptomyces, Nocardiopsis, Streptosporangium, Micromonospora, Rhodococcus, Actinosynnema, Nocardiodes, Kitasatosporia, Gordona, Intrasporangium and Streptoalloteichus. The frequency of occurrence of each genus was found to vary with sample. About 47% of wetland isolates and 33% of mountain isolates were identified as various species of Nocardia. The isolated strains differed among themselves in their ability to decompose proteins and amino acids and also in enzyme production potential. Antibiotic activities of these actinomycetes were evaluated against 12 test pathogenic bacteria by well diffusion method using agar wells in glycerol-yeast extract agar. About 95% of actinomycete isolates from wetland ecosystem and 75% of highland isolates suppressed in different degrees the growth of test pathogens. Relatively high antibacterial activity among these isolates underlined their potential as a source of novel antibiotics.
