But more of those are unusable for the visually impaired people. One of such applications, email has become an important and significant part of formal communication in the professional world. Thus, Voice Mail turns out to be an application through which visionless people can easily send or receive emails. The application uses “Voice to Text” and “Text to Voice” conversion to be usable for the visually impaired people. The system at first takes voice signals from the users as inputs, processes the signals and then converts that voice signals into the text. After that a text processing method is applied to convert the text into voice. Finally, the gmail server is used to connect the server with generating address to send or receive any mail. This application is useful for not only blind people but also for the normal people who always remain busy and doesn’t have time to type in keyboard. Moreover, this application is very much helpful and efficient in time utilization.","PeriodicalId":20870,"journal":{"name":"Recent Research in Science and Technology","volume":"9 1","pages":"15-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84371217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, over the years, the increasing trend in population has initiated the building of many infrastructures and accommodations which lie at close proximity to the core wetland area. The plant diversity in human settled area and core undisturbed area was studied, with an objective to assess the influence of human settlement on the plant diversity. A belt transect method was used for the purpose of vegetation survey and Shannon Wiener diversity was calculated using the relative dominance. Plants were analyzed for their diversity, richness, dominance and invasive nature. Additionally, soil and water parameters were also tested to see the current situation of the pH and nutrient levels. A total of 136 species belonging to 39 families was identified in both the areas. The overall diversity index and species richness was found to be higher in the undisturbed areas. Soil analysis did not show much of a difference in physical and chemical parameters except for a slight difference in potassium content. Similarly, water parameters did not show much difference but only showed variation in calcium content. The findings of the study indicated towards the increasing influence of human settlement in the wetland.","PeriodicalId":20870,"journal":{"name":"Recent Research in Science and Technology","volume":"26 2 1","pages":"11-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90727901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the scope of the study, 34 years long total monthly rainy days data between 1986-2019, which were obtained from automatic meteorology stations, were evaluated. According to the results of the trend analysis, the average total number of rainy days in Nevşehir province was 77 days minimum, the maximum number of rainy days was 142 days, and the average of the average number of rainy days was 109 days. In Avanos district, the average number of rainy days for a long time was 57 days, and the maximum number of rainy days was 129 days, while the average of the number of rainy days for long years was 89 days. In Ürgüp district, the average number of rainy days for a long time was 65 days, the maximum number of rainy days was 129 days, and the average of the number of rainy days for long years was 95 days.

The present study was carried out to isolate Lactobacillus spp, from locally available dairy products and assess for the probiotic potential. Methods: The isolated were identified using biochemical assays and assessed for the properties such as Acid tolerance, Bile tolerance and NaCl tolerance. The identified strains were also subjected to antibiotic susceptibility and Antimicrobial activity using standard methodology. Results: A total of ten Lactic acid bacteria were isolated form different sources, belonging to different Lactobacillus species viz. L. acidophilus IAMb-3, L. brevis IAMb-6, L. bulgaricus IAMb-9, L. lactis IAMb-10, L. acidophilus IAMb-11, L. fermentum IAMb-13, L. casei IAMb-14, L. casei IAMb-15, L. plantarum IAMb-16 and L. rhamonsus IAMb-18. These identified strains were able to tolerate pH-3, 0.3% bile salt and upto 5-6% NaCl. Seven out of ten stains had antimicrobial activity against the pathogenic strain used in the study. Conclusion: In the present study the some of the potential probiotic strains have been isolated from local commercial and homemade sources. The isolated strains were capable of tolerating the harsh similar to human gut environment and found antagonistic to gut pathogens, hence can considered as potential probiotics.","PeriodicalId":20870,"journal":{"name":"Recent Research in Science and Technology","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84405562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, plant nutrient levels altered by fertilization practices can expose crop plants to pests. In addition, diseases, weeds and other pests are principal agricultural losses all over the world. This is particularly devastating particularly in the developing nations of Sub-Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria. Reduction in these losses will not only improve agricultural production but will enhance food security and economic well-being of society. Sole use of synthetic chemicals is economically not a viable option and does not encourage environmental sustainability while land expansion is equally elusive due to urbanization and different forms of development and not environmentally friendly. The most viable and practicable option is integration of different fertility management alternatives that could produce crops on a sustainable basis while ensuring the safety and sustainability of the environment. Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) has proved to be a promising approach to fertility management and sustainable environment. It could be adopted as it provides the needed nutrients for plants, reduce weeds and disease incidences while safeguarding the environment.","PeriodicalId":20870,"journal":{"name":"Recent Research in Science and Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"18-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73853090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
