A total of 68 isolates of actinobacteria were evaluated for their antagonistic potential against four fungal plant pathogens viz., Fusarium oxysporum CABI-293942, Fusarium udum MTCC-2755, Fusarium proliferatum MTCC-286 and Fusarium graminearum MTCC-1893 by dual culture assay. It was found that 83.8% of the isolates showed inhibitory activity against at least one of the tested plant pathogens with the percentage of inhibition ranging from 20–87.2. Thirteen Streptomyces isolates and one Nocardiposis isolate exhibited inhibition activity against all the tested pathogens. Overall, this study gives a basic understanding of the potential aspect of freshwater sediments derived actinobacteria against fungal phytopathogens.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90073703","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}

By applying cross-correlation techniques on signals received by two different receivers one hyperbolic equation can be formed. With the help of a minimum four receiving stations, a unique intersecting point can be derived from hyperbolic equations which give the position of a target precisely. The accuracy of the target position depends upon the geometric location of the receivers with respect to the target location. A simulation study was carried out with seven numbers of a unique relation between target position measurement errors with the average range difference error is established. With the help of the above relation, receivers can be prioritized and four receivers could be placed in best geographical locations. By considering four high prioritized receivers minimum target position measurement error could be achieved. An attempt was focused to draw the error boundary, error factor of target position measurement with the range of the target. And it is clear that the error factor is varying linearly with the range of the target.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84629193","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}

But these networks are highly vulnerable to attacks due to several reasons such as changing topology, open medium and lack of centralized monitoring. Current intrusion detection systems are based on either rule based or behavior model. The efficiency of such IDS is based on how accurate they identify the attacks. In clustering a cluster head is selected as coordinator for performing transmissions in both inter and intra cluster environment. There are many models for choosing a cluster head in Ad Hoc environment. However if the cluster head itself is a compromised node then the cluster head can launch attacks without being detected since its IDS is already malfunctioned. In this paper we propose an “Enhanced Cooperative Tamper Evident Agent Based Anomaly Intrusion Detection System”, which helps in identifying the attacks more accurately even if cluster head is compromised.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77255820","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}

The present study deals with the effect of seasonal variations of water temperature on different water quality parameters of Tamdil lake, Mizoram, India, for a period of two years, i.e., from March, 2014 to February, 2016. The water samples were collected from five sampling sites, and the average reading was calculated for each of the water quality attributes namely, temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). The water samples were analyzed monthly, and the results are computed on seasonal basis, i.e., pre-monsoon, monsoon, post- monsoon and winter seasons. Statistically, there was a positive and significant relationship between water temperature and pH, and negative significant relationship between temperature and DO. A negative correlation was observed between temperature and BOD. The result shows that there is a significant seasonal variation in physico-chemical parameters.

Power density of RF radiation have also been measured within and outside 50m from the station for GSM900 and GSM1800 in the same locality. The measured power densities have been compared with standard limits given by various scientific bodies like International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP 1998), Bioinitiative Report (Sage and Carpenter 2012) ,Salzburg Resolution (Haumann et al. 2000) and current Indian National Standards. The radiation level is under permissible limits as per the guidelines adopted in India. Also the results were statistically analysed and compared by using Kruskal Walli’s t-test. It was found that the comparisons are statistically significant with p<0.05 in all the six localities where headache, memory loss and muscle pain are the most common health complaints.
