A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically interconnected for higher level networks. The dynamic communication performance of the HTN using the dimension-order routing under common traffic patterns have been evaluated, and have been sho

Performance of immobilized β-glucosidase obtained from almonds (EC 3.2.1.21) on calcium alginate beads was studied by measuring the activity of the enzyme in terms of the generation of pnitrophenol from the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG).The immobilized enzyme activity was compared with soluble enzyme and was found to decr

Kinetics and enzymatic activity of free and immobilized β-glucosidase by entrapment in calcium alginate beads was studied for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG). Three different sizes of beads, i.e., 3 mm, 4 mm and 5mm were studied and maximum activity was obtained in 4 mm beads, which was employed for subsequent studies.
