Solution to the Arsenic Problem in West Bengal: Exploring Some Non-Conventional Ways
Abstract: Some districts of West Bengal have severe arsenic contamination of soil and groundwater. The clinical manifestations of arsenic toxicity include severe skin lesions; diseases of respiratory, cardiovascular, excretory system, hepatological, haematological and neurological disorders; and even death. We have isolated arsenic-resistant bacteria which have the adaptability to survive in high arsenic concentration, accumulate arsenic and convert it to its less toxic form. Therefore, we propose bioremediation as a cost-effective and …

Structured P2P multidimensional HyperCube system
Abstract: Peer-to-peer systems enable access to data spread over an extremely large number of machines. Today’s peer-to-peer systems are limited in scope in terms of data in multidimensional range. The project creates an ‘n’-dimensional hypecube p2p system which supports nodes with threads connecting them in a cube like structure. Each Node generates random character strings thus adding a data storage feature. Eventually it will look for retrieval and lookup of the …
