Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Chemical Engineering, Andhra University (Andhra University College of Engineering (A)), course: M.Tech Bio Technology, language: English, abstract: Herbal drug product has a special place in the world of pharmaceuticals. Terminalia chebula is a deciduous tree, used in traditional medicines. It is reported to contain various bio chemical compounds such as tannins, chebulinic acid, ellagic acid, gallic acid, punicalagin, flavonoids etc. It has been reported as antioxidant, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancerous, antiulcer, antimutagenic, wound healing activities etc. The optimization of physico-chemical parameters like effects of different solvents, soaking time, extraction time with hexane, particle size, different solvent percentages, different volumes of hexane with ethanol and methanol as solvents and pH for the extraction of Total Phenolic Content, Chebulinic acid and Quercetin were studied. The extraction was carried out by employing various organic solvents using Soxhlet extractor method. Ethanol was found to be the best solvent for the extraction of Chebulinic acid from Terminalia chebula species. Soxhlet extractor was carried out using ethanol at different extraction times to verify the mathematical model proposed in this work. The optimization of physico-chemical parameters required for obtaining the highest production of Chebulinic acid using Baker s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisia.Among the extraction process (Batch, Soxhlet& Fermentation process) the highest Chebulinic acid production was obtained from fermentation process. The partition coefficient for fermentation, soxhlet & batch extraction were found to be 3.83, 2.0 & 0.64. The extraction of Chebulinic acid from Terminalia chebula by Soxhlet extraction and purify the Chebulinic acid by using Column chromatography. Chebulinic acid showed many bioactivities including inhibition of cancer cell growth, inhibiting the contractile responses of cardiovascular muscles, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial activities etc. Finally the Chebulinic acid extraction from Terminalia chebula plays a vital role in medicine, biotechnology and various pharmacological activities.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Biology - Botany, grade: A, , course: Biotechnology, language: English, abstract: Gallic acid is showed best results from fermentation process than extraction process due to biotransformation. In this research, the highest concentration of gallic acid was observed to be 8.7 to 9.0 microgram/ml from the soxhlet extraction and column chromatography process, and the concentration was increased to 9.7 microgram/ml from the fermentation process by Bacillus cereus species. The fermented extracts are showed with the maximum specific growth rate and the maximum yield factor (Yx/s) of Bacillus cereus are 0.3541 hr-1 and 0.234 microgram/ml. The non fermented extracts are showed the modelling equation for the quercetin yield extract was Es = 0.0721(1 - e-0.2867t). The model allowed good accordance with the experimental data by producing average absolute relative deviation from about 9.78 percent. Keywords: Terminalia species, Gallic acid, Fermentation, Extraction, Bacillus cereus

This book presents the state-of-the-art techniques and recent research progress on Ear Biometrics. Among the various physiological traits, the reasons for the ear to gain much attention in recent years are many folds. It has been found to be a reliable biometrics for human verification and identification. Ears are remarkably consistent and unlike face, it does not change shape with different expressions or age, and remain fixed in the middle of the side of the head against a predictable background. The book contains figures, tables and plots to illustrate the techniques in an easy and lucid manner. The book also provides an extensive literature on the subject, where readers have the benefit of receiving all the relevant material at one place in a very comprehensive manner. This book caters students, academics, researchers, practitioners who are interested in the field of Ear Biometrics and its applications in face recognition and security.

Digital images play a significant role in representing useful information; however, they may get distorted while passing through several operational stages, such as image acquisition, compression, transmission, processing, and reconstruction. Similarly, during the transmission of images, some data may be lost and the quality of the image may degrade due to bandwidth limitation. The use of distorted images in any application compromises its performance; and therefore, the identification and quantification of degradation become key issues to address in restoring the distorted images.This book covers different quality assessment techniques for natural images. It further discusses image enhancement techniques that are based on estimated quality. This book presents image quality assessment techniques for different distortions, such as poor contrast, poor illumination, noise and artifacts in deblocked images. Also presented are quality-aware techniques for image enhancement for different distortions.Review and objective questions (with answers) for each chapter will be available online as part of the supplementary material.
