Investigation of antioxidant and cardioprotective effects of melatonin in diabetic animals

The growing prevalence of diabetes mellitus, a group of metabolic diseases, is evident worldwide. Diabetes causes a number of acute complications, many leading to cardiovascular disease, which can be partly attributed to the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress in the hyperglycemic state. The circadian hormone melatonin has been recognized as […]

Treatment of Pulp and Paper Wastewater Using Aerobic Granulation Technology

The pollutants from pulp and paper mill effluents are toxic to plant/marine life. Harsh plans on tackling this issue by treating wastewater that comes out of these mills before it has a chance to affect the aquatic life in fresh water resources. Pulp and paper mill effluent, much like any other industrial wastewater, contains trace […]

Children Privacy Protection Engine for Smart Anthropomorphic Toys

A smart anthropomorphic toy is defined as a device consisting of a physical toy component in a humanoid form that connects to a computing system with online services through networking and sensory technologies to enhance the functionality of a traditional toy such as Mattel’s Hello Barbie and Cognitoys Dino. Many studies found that anthropomorphic toys […]

Classical Ayurveda, textual and critical studies

My proposed research deals with the traditional Indian medical system called Ayurveda. Ayurveda not only played a major role in the healthcare of ancient and medieval India, but it also plays a major role as a Government-supported health care system in contemporary South Asian societies. Furthermore, internationally, ayurveda therapies and practices (which are manifold) have […]

Universal surface modification method to encourage cell patterning

Surface modification to promote the patterning of mammalian cells is an important tool in cellular biology. It aids in the development of different tissue engineering scaffolds, biosensors, and validation of high throughput screening assays. Surface modification protocols must be tailored to each individual material which limits the utility of a successful antifouling strategy to individual […]

Dynamic Control of Robotic Arm

In the design of robotic mechanisms, dynamic balancing i.e. force and moment balancing is an important issue. The robotic mechanism’s accuracy and efficiency are affected because of the unbalance. Moreover, the forces and moments cause fatigue, noise and disturbance in its structural base. Previous research done by Prof. Chris Zhang include a force balancing method […]

An analysis of non-structural flood-management measures in Shanghai, China

This research project will involve analyzing non-structural flood management measures in Shanghai, China – one of the world’s most flood vulnerable cities. The Chinese government has invested heavily into structural barriers to flooding, such as the Three Gorges Dam, but there is no fail-safe in times of extreme flood levels. Despite extensive research, there is […]
