EtranS- A Complete Framework for English To Sanskrit Machine Translation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2012
Machine Translation has been a topic of research from the past many years. Many methods and techniques have been proposed and developed. However, quality of translation has always been a matter of concern. In this paper, we outline a target language generation mechanism with the help of language English-Sanskrit language pair using rule based machine ...

Impacts of priming with silicon on the growth and tolerance of maize plants to alkaline stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Silicon (Si) has been known to augment plant defense against biotic and abiotic pressures. Maize (Zea maize L.) is classified as a Si accumulator and is relatively susceptible to alkaline stress.

Complement activation in placental malaria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Sixty percent of all pregnancies worldwide occur in malaria endemic regions. Pregnant women are at greater risk of malaria infection than their non-pregnant counterparts and are more likely to develop severe disease.

On the underlying assumptions of threshold Boolean networks as a model for genetic regulatory network behavior

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2013
Boolean networks (BoN) are relatively simple and interpretable models of gene regulatorynetworks. Specifying these models with fewer parameters while retaining their ability to describe complex regulatory relationships is an ongoing methodological ...

Hydrogen sulfide regulates salt tolerance in rice by maintaining Na+/K+ balance, mineral homeostasis and oxidative metabolism under excessive salt stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Being a salt sensitive crop, rice growth and development are frequently affected by soil salinity. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recently explored as an important priming agent regulating diverse physiological processes of plant growth and development.

A Randomized Double-Blind Sham-Controlled Study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Treatment-Resistant Major Depression

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
Objectives: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has demonstrated some efficacy in treatment-resistant major depression (TRD). The majority of previous controlled studies have used anodal stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (

Intra-domain phage display (ID-PhD) of peptides and protein mini-domains censored from canonical pIII phage display

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
In this paper, we describe multivalent display of peptide and protein sequences typically censored from traditional N-terminal display on protein pIII of filamentous bacteriophage M13. Using site-directed mutagenesis of commercially available M13KE phage
