Abstract: A Building Management System (BMS) may be controlled in accordance with predicted occupancy using a trained model. A model is trained by providing the model with time stamped environmental data and corresponding time stamped occupancy data pertaining to a training building, wherein the time stamped environmental data is derived from one or more environmental sensors of the training building and the corresponding time stamped occupancy data is derived from one or more occupancy sensors of the training building. Once trained, the trained model is provided with time stamped environmental data for a use building that is derived from one or more environmental sensors of the use building. Occupancy data for the use building is not required. The trained model outputs a predicted occupancy value that represents a predicted occupancy count in the use building, and the BMS of the use building is controlled based at least in part on the predicted occupancy value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the mass production of polymeric nanofibres and their uniform deposition over any substrate. The present invention also provides a method for the manufacture of droplet free polymeric nanofibres by electrospinning process using multi-hole spinnerets. The droplet free polymeric nanofibres of the present invention are preferably of a diameter in the range of 50 nm to 850 nm.

Abstract: The present invention in general relates Hemoglobin receptor or its part as a novel vaccine candidate against Leishmaniasis. Specifically, the present invention envisages HbR DNA for eliciting immune response in a mammal against Leishmaniasis. Additional aspect of the present invention is related to a vaccine composition for inducing immune response against Leishmaniasis in mammals. In a preferred aspect, the present invention relates to use of HbR-polypeptide as marker for diagnosis of Leishmania in kala-azar patients.

Abstract: In a computer network, services are provisioned for a user over the network, typically via a series of messages. Depending on the particular service to be provisioned many network entities may be concerned with the provision of a particular service. However, an initiator of a service request may be unaware of all the network entities concerned with a service provision request. A system which receives a single request for service provisioning from an initiator, determines each network entity corresponding to the request from a common repository of network entities, and applies the operations concerned with the service provision request at each corresponding network entity, allows a service to be provisioned without manually searching and examining the network to determine the network entities concerned with a particular service provision request.
