Governmentality, a concept which originates from the work of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, primarily relates to an analytics of power which highlights the artificiality of government. The term refers to a way of understanding the functioning of power as that which emanates from diverse societal institutions rather than one centralized, top‐down source, such as the sovereign state. Over t

Parametric analysis of Sierpinski-like fractal patch antenna for compact and dual band WLAN applications

A Sierpinski-like fractal patch antenna with a slant strip in the first iteration is proposed in this article. The parameters of this kind of antenna are analyzed and optimized for dual WLAN application. The added slant strip provides simple probe feeding for compactness and also helps bandwidth enhancement due to multiple modes, which can be evident from current distribution. Measured return loss

Galactoglucomannan-degrading enzymes from Aspergillus niger

Galactoglucomannan and galactomannan are among the most abundant plant polysaccharides in nature. The central enzymes involved in their degradation, i.e., endo-1,4-beta-mannanase (beta-mannanase, EC 3.2.1.78), beta-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.25), and alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) were purified from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger and characterized with respect to physical properties and su
