    Abstract: A cheap agro-industrial waste was used as the substrate for the production of protease and cellulase from Bacillus cereus KA3. The process parameters were optimized by a two level full factorial design and response surface methodology. Two level full factorial designs revealed that the factors namely, pH, peptone and NaH2PO4 were significantly infl... Show More

    Abstract: A new concept of Power line Communication. Now human operators do the Meter reading for the consumption of Electricity from house to house and building to building. It requires huge number of labor and takes more time to complete the process. Reading error is a common cause of human operator. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) becomes an executable opti... Show More

    Abstract: The physical and mechanical properties of the onion crop were determined for the Talaja Red variety. The linear relationship was observed between polar diameter and equatorial diameter and also weight of the bulbs. The shape of the onion crop may be considered oval to spherical. The mean bulk density onion was observed 548 kg/m3. The coefficient of... Show More
