Hybrid optimization assisted channel selection of EEG for deep learning model-based classification of motor imagery task.

Objectives: To design and develop an approach named HC + SMA-SSA scheme for classifying motor imagery task.

Methods: The offered model employs a new method for classifying motor imagery task. Initially, down sampling is deployed to pre-process the incoming signal.

In vitro bioactivity and degradation behaviour of β-wollastonite derived from natural waste.

Calcium silicate ceramics, in particular wollastonite (CaSiO), is the most commonly used bioactive material for bone regeneration and repairing applications. The present study aims to synthesize cost effective wollastonite using natural waste materials such as rice husk ash (RHA) and eggshells, sources of silica and calcium oxide respectively. Wollastonite was prepared by sol-gel method and based on thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) results the samples were sintered at 850 °C.

Contribution of medical colleges to tuberculosis control in India under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP): lessons learnt & challenges ahead.

Medical college faculty, who are academicians are seldom directly involved in the implementation of national public health programmes. More than a decade ago for the first time in the global history of tuberculosis (TB) control, medical colleges of India were involved in the Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP) of Government of India (GOI). This report documents the unique and extraordinary course of events that led to the involvement of medical colleges in the RNTCP of GOI.

T-cell recognition of iron-regulated culture filtrate proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in tuberculosis patients and endemic normal controls.

Background: Culture filtrate proteins (CFPs) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are potential vaccine candidates.

Objective: The aim was to study the influence of iron levels on CFPs and assess the immuno-protective potential of defined antigenic fractions from high (8 μg Fe/mL) and low iron (0.02 μg Fe / mL) cultures of M.

Prediction of substrate-binding site and elucidation of catalytic residue of a phytase from Bacillus sp.

The present study primarily deals with the identification of substrate-binding site and elucidation of catalytic residue of the phytase from Bacillus sp. (Genbank Accession No. EF536824) employing molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis.
