Symmetries and symmetry-breaking in arithmetic graphs.

In this paper, we study symmetries and symmetry-breaking of the arithmetic graph of a composite number , denoted by . We first study some properties such as the distance between vertices, the degree of a vertex and the number of twin classes in the arithmetic graphs. We describe symmetries of and prove that the automorphism group of is isomorphic to the symmetric group of elements, for .

Bounds on the domination number and the metric dimension of co-normal product of graphs.

In this paper, we establish bounds on the domination number and the metric dimension of the co-normal product graph of two simple graphs and in terms of parameters associated with and . We also give conditions on the graphs and for which the domination number of is 1, 2, and the domination number of . Moreover, we give formulas for the metric dimension of the co-normal product of some families of graphs and as a function of associated parameters of and .

Effect of distillery yeast sludge on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and slaughter parameters in Japanese quails.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of distillery yeast sludge (DYS) as a protein source on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and slaughtering parameters in Japanese quail birds. For this purpose, six hundred day-old quails were randomly distributed into six dietary treatments. These dietary treatments were; G (Control Group) fed a basal diet (CP 24%, ME 2900 kcal/kg) without DYS, while other dietary treatments were G, G, G, G and G fed basal diet containing DYS @ 1.

Prediction of conserved sites and domains in glycoproteins B, C and D of herpes viruses.

Glycoprotein B (gB), C (gC) and D (gD) of herpes simplex virus are implicated in virus adsorption and penetration. The gB, gC and gD are glycoproteins for different processes of virus binding and attachment to the host cells. Moreover, their expression is necessary and sufficient to induce cell fusion in the absence of other glycoproteins.

Domain analyses of Usher syndrome causing Clarin-1 and GPR98 protein models.

Usher syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes hearing loss, Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and vestibular dysfunction. It is clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder which is clinically divided into three types i.e.

Phylogenetic and Comparative Sequence Analysis of Thermostable Alpha Amylases of kingdom Archea, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Alpha amylase family is generally defined as a group of enzymes that can hydrolyse and transglycosylase α-(1, 4) or α-(1, 6) glycosidic bonds along with the preservation of anomeric configuration. For the comparative analysis of alpha amylase family, nucleotide sequences of seven thermo stable organisms of Kingdom Archea i.e.

Screening and design of anti-diabetic compounds sourced from the leaves of neem (Azadirachta indica).

Diabetes Mellitus is affecting people of all age groups worldwide. Many synthetic medicines available for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the market. However, there is a strong requirement for the development of better anti-diabetes compounds sourced especially from natural sources like medicinal plants.

Selection of epitope-based vaccine targets of HCV genotype 1 of Asian origin: a systematic in silico approach.

Unlabelled: Hepatitis C is the major health problem over the globe affecting approximately 200 million people worldwide and about 10 million Pakistani populations. Developing countries are especially facing the problems of HCV infection. Hence the goal of the study was to find out the antigenic epitopes that could be effective vaccine targets of HCV genotype 1 of Asian origin against HLA alleles frequently distributed in Asian countries.

Promiscuous prediction and conservancy analysis of CTL binding epitopes of HCV 3a viral proteome from Punjab Pakistan: an in silico approach.

Background: HCV is a positive sense RNA virus affecting approximately 180 million people world wide and about 10 million Pakistani populations. HCV genotype 3a is the major cause of infection in Pakistani population. One of the major problems of HCV infection especially in the developing countries that limits the limits the antiviral therapy is the long term treatment, high dosage and side effects.
