A reaction-diffusion system based on some biological systems, arising in enzymatic reactions, has been considered. The iterative method by means of a fixed point theorem has been applied in order to solve this system of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The existence, uniqueness and positiveness of the solution to system with Robin-type boundary condition have been obtained. A biochemical system has been extended and solved analytically. Quasi-steady states and linear stability analysis have been proved.

Well, you may be wondering what a green roof is? A green roof is a roof that is filled with plants that created vegetation, an inexpensive sewage system which can use heat from the sun to power up energy. A green roof is very urgent efficient. It can insulate the plants while helping vegetate crops. In some corners of green roofs there can be solar panels that also have water inside them for vegetation.

Water Fluoridation is the process of adding fluoride to public water supplies in order to
reduce the possibility of tooth decay. Its use began in 1945, as a study of children and the effects of them drinking fluoride in their water. The experiment remained a success, however the use of fluoride in water didn't increase dramatically until 1994 when a world health committee brought the idea of adding .8ml of fluoride/liter of water. The idea then went to congress and passed. Today, over 400 million houses have fluoride in their water.

Mangroves and halophytic vegetation of Chudamani region and Dhamara mouth region of Gamui estuary, Orissa was studied by using the transect with 4x4m quadrate. In each station, 5 transect samples were collected and total samples analyzed for getting relative density, relative dominance and relative frequency of individual species in the studied area. Maximum Important Value Index (IVI) was obtained for the species Suaeda maritima and minimum value for Sonneratia apetala. A total of 11 plant species were reported, out of them 3 were true mangroves species, remaining 8 were halophytes. Along with data on plant populations hydrographical and sediment analysis was gathered to correlate with distribution and abundance of mangrove species. Maximum density was reported Suaeda maritima and minimum density for Prosophis juliflora. Maximum height of forest is only 2 to
M
2.5 meters with diameter of plant species is not more than 26cm. Sediment analysis and low input of fresh water may be responsible for degraded mangroves with stunted growth.

When sewage is untreated and is discharged into any water course will be effected severely. Sewage which has many pathogens and is rich in organic matter and high BOD when released into water course the dissolved oxygen of the stream decreases drastically which effects flora and fauna of the stream and also makes the water unfit for any purpose. Visakhapatnam is a city where nearly 18 lakh (384 per km2) (Eenadu, dated on 1st April) people resides. The day – to – day sewage which generates in the city has been collected and treated in the municipal sewage treatment plants at Appugar, Port area, Old town and Mudarsalova. Where Appugar plant holds 25 MLD, Port area plant holds 10 MLD, Old town plant holds 38MLD and Mudarsalova plant holds 13MLD of sewage of Visakhapatnam. The sewage treatment plants are not enough to hold the existing huge volume of sewage that is generated in the city. People and tourists are attracted more towards locations like Lumbini Park, Tenneti Park, Tourists Resorts located along the Beach and make frequent visits to those places. Aim of this study is to estimate physico-chemical and biological parameters of the sewage samples from different sewage disposal points along the coast of Visakhapatnam and to identify that objectionable parameters of the sewage ,which should be minimized before it is being disposed off.

In this study, I predict that the global variation of offspring sex ratio might be influenced in part by the level of parasite stress. From an energetic standpoint, higher gestational costs of producing a male offspring could decrease male births in a population with limited resources. This implies that, any factor that limits the parental resources could be expected to favor female offspring production. Human sex ratio at birth (SRB) is believed to be influenced by numerous socioeconomic, biological, and environmental factors. Here, I test a prediction that parasite stress, by virtue of its effects on the general health condition, may limit the parental investment ability and therefore could influence the SRB at the population level. The statistical analysis supports this prediction, and show that the level of parasite stress has a significant inverse relation with population SRB across the world. Further, this relation is many-folds stronger than the association of SRB with other factors, like; polygyny, fertility, latitude, and son-preference. Hence, I propose that condition affecting ability of parasites (but not adaptive significance) could be a likely causal basis for the striking variation of SRB across populations.

Many infectious diseases as well as cancers are strongly influenced by molecular level processes. In several cases, the advent of rapid genetic sequencing, already available in the case of HIV, means that patient-specific treatment based on genetic data becomes conceivable. Targeted therapies use drugs to interfere with specific
biomacromolecules involved in disease development. Given the complexity of emergent mutations in such biomacromolecules and in the disease itself, clinicians need to resort to decision support software for patient-specific treatment. Incorporating model based molecular level information into such decision support systems offers the potential to substantially enhance personalised drug treatment by providing first principles based ranking of drug efficacy on a specific patient. Patient specific molecular models of targeted macromolecules are constructed and molecular dynamics simulations are used to rank drug binding affinities. Here we present results from clinically relevant protein variants that arise from two distinct pathologies: HIV and lung carcinoma. Our findings demonstrate the potential for molecular simulations to achieve an accurate ranking of drug binding affinities on clinically relevant time scales and represent the first steps towards the eventual goal of providing
data derived from patient specific simulation to enhance clinical decision support systems. The approach gives rapid, robust, and accurate computational results and is dependent on an automated workflow for building, simulating and
analysing models distributed over petascale computing resources which are comprised of tens to hundreds of thousands of compute cores.

Luffa aegyptiaca (Luffa sponge gourd) is increasingly seen as both a source of vegetative nutrition and as a source of the “luffa” used as to exfoliate during bathing. As such, the commercial growing of Luffa aegyptiaca is increasingly being investigated using more intensive farming methods. Two factors traditionally used to promote / speed germination and emergence of vegetable seeds is investigated. It is concluded that temperature pre-treatment of the seeds (-12°C,24 hours) yields a p=0.004 significance in promoting emergence, whilst pre soaking (water, 18°C, 24hrs) yields p=0.821

This article deals with the phenomenon of life,and shows how can a different approach
change all that we know about it.Making the simpliest and most objective assumption that the
difference between earth and other planets is just that there is a huge number of chemical
reactions near the surface of earth(even a stone travelling in the universe can admitt that,
because life means nothing for the stone).These chemical reactions , although
partially(organism per organism) they seem to have self sustaining and self organizing
properties that violate the laws of thermodynamics,when they are seen as a whole, they seem
to be more random ,and not violating the laws of thermodynamics.This is very difficult for a
person to realize(especially if you are living in big cities), because we see things from inside
the whole system, and so it is very difficult to judje objectively what is life.

Recent experimental data from proteomics and genomics are interpreted here in ways that
challenge the predominant viewpoint in biology according to which the four evolutionary
processes, including mutation, recombination, natural selection and genetic drift, are
sufficient to explain the origination of species. The predominant viewpoint appears
incompatible with the finding that the sequenced genome of each species contains hundreds,
or even thousands, of unique genes - the genes that are not shared with any other species.
These unique genes and proteins, singletons, define the very character of every species.
Moreover, the distribution of protein families from the sequenced genomes indicates that the
complexity of genomes grows in a manner different from that of self-organizing networks:
the dominance of singletons leads to the conclusion that in living organisms a most unlikely
phenomenon can be the most common one. In order to provide proper rationale for these
conclusions related to the singletons, the paper first treats the frequency of functional proteins
among random sequences, followed by a discussion on the protein structure space, and it ends
by questioning the idea that protein domains represent conserved units of evolution.

"Identity" charge (also known as "number" charge) is the fundamental charge of the weak force
and the most important of the particle charges. Identity charge is the symmetry debt of light's
anonymity, or complete lack of identity. One photon cannot be distinguished from another, but
the elementary leptonic particles are distinct from photons and from each other, and hence carry
identity charges. Neutrinos are the explicit or "bare" form of identity charge, which is also
carried in a "hidden" or implicit form by the massive leptonic elementary particles - electrons
and their heavier kin. Single elementary particles cannot enter or leave the 4-dimensional realm
of manifest reality without a conserving identity charge - the functional equivalent of a human
"soul" or a citizen's passport. The utility of identity charge (in terms of symmetry conservation)
is to facilitate particle-antiparticle annihilations by helping particles identify their appropriate
"anti-mates" in a timely fashion - ensuring a conserved pathway for elementary particles
returning to their original state of symmetry (light). For more on the function of identity charge
see: "Identity Charge and the Weak Force", and "The Origin of Matter and Information".

A model for biopoesis is proposed where a complex, dynamic ecosphere, characterised by steep
redox potentials, precedes and conditions the gradual formation of organismal life. A flow of
electrons across the Archean hydrosphere, proceeding from the reducing constituents of the
lithosphere and pumped by the photolytic production of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere is the
central feature of this protobiological environment. The available range of electrochemical
potentials allows for the geochemical cycling of biogenic elements. In the case of carbon,
carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions are essential steps, as in today's organisms.
Geochemical evidence for high levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's early atmosphere and
the biological relevance of carboxylations are the basis for a hypercarbonic conception of
the primitive metabolic pathways. Conversion of prochiral chemical species into chiral molecules,
inherent to hypercarbonic transformations, suggests a mechanistic method for the generation
of homochirality through propagation. The solubility of oxygen in lipid materials points to
an aerobic course for the evolution of cellularity.

Mathematics of non-commutative spaces is a rapidly growing research field, which has to
date found convincing proof of its legitimacy in the nature, precisely, in quantum systems. In
this paper, I evaluate the extension of fundamental non-commutativity to the theory of
chemical equilibrium in reactions, of which little is known about its phenomenological
implication. To do so, I assume time to be fundamentally discrete, with time values taken at
integer multiples of a time quantum, or chronon. By integrating chemical ordinary differential
equations (ODE) over the latter, two non-commutative maps are derived. The first map allows
excluding some hypothetical link between chemical Poisson process and uncertainty due to
non-commutativity, while the second map shows that, in first-order reversible schemes, orbits
generate a rich collection of non-equilibrium statistics, some of which have their support close
to the Cantor triadic set, a feature never reported for the Poisson process alone. This study
points out the need for upgrading the current chemical reaction theory with
noncommutativity-dependent properties.

Two giants of British science, Newton and Darwin, developed theories of negentropic force in physics
and biology. The two scientists are adjacently interred in Westminster Abby, and their theories of
gravity and evolution likewise share common ground and a fractal resonance with DNA. Because
DNA/RNA is both a replicating molecule and part of the universal 4x3 fractal pattern, the
implications for the abundance of life in the Cosmos are enormous.

This model proposes a minimally constructed replicating protocell
that exploits only a positive, a negative and a neutral amino acid
to build membranes, genes and ion channels. This transition from
chemical to biological evolution would result from a charged peptide
that can function as a template to fuse peptide fragments, and act
as a membrane gate.
The nucleic genetic code may have originated as a single base codon that
recognized three types of amino acid residue. A two base codon with three base
types could code for nine types of residue. An increase to four base types
would produce 16 residue possibilities. The modern code now utilizes a three
base codon and four base types to yield 20 types of amino acid. tRNA
synthetases and the genetic code appear to be linked together by mutual
evolution. The evolving transition to a nucleic code would support a greater
variety of amino acids and proteins, and thus complete the creation of life.
