Keywords: Metabolic Syndrome, Expression Atlas, Cytoscape, Reactome FI

Abstract : The metabolic syndrome is a multiplex risk factor that consists of several risk factors such as heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and so on. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increases with age and varies with gender and ethnicity. Here, in this study we worked on three conditions that are associated with metabolic syndrome which includes Diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular & Hypertension disease. To understand the diseases and its regulation, the primary role is to screen the genes involved in a particular condition. The differentially expressed genes including up regulation and down regulation are screened and extracted from Expression atlas, Cytoscape and Reactome FI database. The regulation of these extracted genes in a disease condition is analyzed and the disease network is generated. These disease networks may pave the way in understanding the pathophysiology of the diseases, for identifying biomarkers and in hubs analysis which may act as a potential drug targets in drug development industry.

Can Pizza be Delivered by a Robot? #IJSRD

Watch a Drone Deliver a Pizza in Mumbai Here's a video from a pizzeria in  Mumbai  that claims to have used an unmanned drone to deliver a pizza to a customer in a nearby high-rise building. According to the  Telegraph ,  Francesco's Pizzeria  used a four-rotor drone in the test-flight to deliver the pizza to a skyscraper about 1.5 km ( .93 miles) away. The pizzeria's chief executive,  Mikhel Rajani , claims that the use of the drone beats traffic and cuts the delivery time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. Rajani also believes that "air-borne" deliveries will be  very normal in the next four years  because "delivery using drones is not only economic but also eco-friendly." Before Rajani can deploy a fleet of pizza drones, he's going to have to clear his actions with the police. According to the  Economic Times , the pizzeria failed to notify the police about its pizza delivery tests. A spokesperson for the police n...

#IJSRD Augmented Reality 3D Tracking

Augmented Reality (AR) is the technique of superimposing virtual objects in the user's view of the real world, providing a novel visualisation technology for a wide range of application. Mixed Reality (MR) is a more general term for visualizations and/or environments where physical and virtual elements can co-exist and interact. We started working in the AR field in 2000 with the development of virtual advertisements for live TV broadcast. In the following years we expanded our expertise to game and entertainment applications. http://virtual.vtt.fi/virtual/proj2/multimedia/ Useful website for Engineering (Diploma,BCA,MCA,B.E/M.E/Ph.D) Students.... kindly share to all engineers...
