A Study on Silver Nano Particle Production from Aristolochia Bracteata and Its Antimicrobial Activity

Nanotechnology is the study of extremely small structures. The prefix “nano” is a Greek word which means “dwarf”.  The word “nano” means very small or miniature size. Nanotechnology encompasses the production and application of physical, chemical, and biological systems at scales ranging from individual atoms or molecules to submicron dimensions. Nanotechnology applications that could impact the global market in agricultural, pharmaceutical, and other non-fuel commodities are being developed Currently, nanotechnology is described as a revolutionary discipline in terms of its possible impact on industrial applications. Even today various disease like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as complex illnesses pose a major problem for mankind.Nanotechnology can deliver medicine or drugs into specific parts of the human body, thereby making them more effective and less harmful to other parts of the body.Once the nanoshells enter into tumor cells and radiation treatment is applied, they absorb the energy and heat up enough to kill the cancer cells.

Consumer Rights in E-Commerce

In a business system, consumers are the most critical elements. A business is not review in separation but is always considered in a combination with the consumers of its good and services. it is a matter of great shame that their consumer rights are not protected due to non-availability of effective and stringent laws and the ineffectual redressal mechanisms, specially in e-commerce or online transactions. E-commerce consumers should be no less protected when shopping on-line than when they buy from their local store or order from a catalogue. The number of electronic commerce (e-commerce) transactions has grown extraordinarily with widespread Internet usage. Recently, the privacy protection for consumer transactions has become more and more important in e-commerce. E-commerce is widely used to describe shopping on the Internet. It has been rapidly developing in accordance with the development of information technology and network technology. However, most of these laws and regulations have only been made for the protection of general consumer rights without specific provisions of the consumer rights protection in e-commerce.

Smart Bin: A Swach Bharat Approach using NodeMcu

We often see that the garbage bins placed at public places overflows, creating unhygienic conditions. Most of the people are reluctant to dump the waste properly in the waste bins. Due to this the waste pile up near the waste bin and also produces bad smell. Improper waste management leads to environment pollution. This paper proposes a smart waste management system that alerts the municipal authorities my displaying a flash message on their website. The ultrasonic sensor attached to the bin will check the status of the bin i.e., whether the bin is full or not. The user has the provision to register on the website by using his/her mobile number. Once registered, he/she can enter that number on the keypad provided on smartbin to gain reward points for each waste deposit. Maximum reward points that can be collected per day is limited to 10.

Automated Control of Irrigation in Agriculture Using IOT and Wireless Sensor Networks

In the real world, farmers are facing the problem of monitoring their farms, at the same time. This project proposes a technology based on IoT, which reduces human intervention to ensure proper irrigation. It uses Pic16F877A as the microcontroller. This can be achieved by victimization associate degree op-amp as the comparator that acts as the interface between the sensing arrangement and therefore the microcontroller. Once the controller receives this signal, it generates associate degree output that drives a relay for in operation the pump and a liquid crystal display is additionally interfaced to the microcontroller to display data of the soil and pump. The Connections are interfaced to the control unit. This system monitor temperature, moisture, rain and according to the readings of the sensors and switches on the motor to give water to the farms. Here all the data are been hosted on the server and used to monitor the farms continuously. By using this concept, the development time gets reduced and save more time for monitoring the farms. Using this system the motor can switch on or off wherever in the world using the concept of IoT (Internet of Things).

A Descriptive Study on Doctrine of Indoor Management

In the famous case of Royal British Bank V. Turquand, the court set forth a proposition of law that later came to be called the Doctrine of Indoor Management. The doctrine states that if a person in good faith deals with the board of directors or any other representative body if a company which is in fact exercising the power of management and direction of its business affairs. The failure to fulfil the conditions which are required by the company’s memorandum or articles to be fulfilled before the act or transaction is affected. This rule is an exception to the rule of Constructive notice. This rule has been in place of two reasons, Firstly, to limit the burden of inquiry placed on the shoulders of the third party entering into a transaction with the company and, secondly, the third party may not have the means to ascertain whether the inner formalities of the company are carried out properly or not properly. Thus the application of the Turquand rule, or the doctrine of indoor management, is restricted to people unaware of any irregularity in the authority of the agent with whom they are contracting.
