An Automatic Approach for Fabric Fault Detection Using Image Processing

A defect within the material hinders the standard of the material to a bigger extent. These defect within the cloth square measure planned to occur regardless of what kind of production ways square measure used. Majority of defect detection is dispensed by physical examination by labor, however these kind of examination fails to suits the detection of minute defects that square measure indistinguishable by somebody's eye. Exploitation trendy technology we are able to implement automation in detection these defects which can be otherwise unseen or not detected. The automation system can establish the defect supported the looks of the material and can optimally turn out the answer. This use of recent technique can enhance die standard of product and can meet the expectation of client demands and can scale back the price depreciation. The technology of image analysis was developed and used intensively in textile business as a result of it's helpful to examine the material and thread defects, There square measure 2 approaches completely different in detection and classification from the defects. Initial is predicated on statistics on the grey level, second is predicated on the morphological operations. The examination for the standard management is critical with the manufacture of textile. Typically the defects square measure detected by the soul. This sort of management is subjective, painful and needs terribly long procedures, Historically, the material examination is created by workmen; however it's thus subjective that truth could be a drawback as a result of the inspectors tire simply, to beat these disadvantages, a system of image process is utilized. Hie techniques concerned within die planned work are distinct moving ridge remodel, GLCM feature extraction and classification

Designing YIG Drivers

Design aspects of a linear, stabilized voltage to current transducer for driving YIG tuned microwave devices are analysed. Typical circuits with OP AMP interfacial input and bipolar/VMOS current amplifier outputs are sketched. Attention is drawn to such circuit refinements as (i) augmenting differentiator for minimising sweep delay; (ii) linearizer to compensate for nonlinearity due to core saturation; and (iii) low noise, low drift and minimal voltage pushing options

Disposition of uric acid upon administration of ofloxacin alone and in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs

Disposition of uric acid upon administration of ofloxacin (O) alone and in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs, rifampicin (R), isoniazid (H) and pyrazinamide (Z) was studied. Twelve male healthy volunteers were investigated on four different occasions with the four drugs alone or in combinations. A partially balanced incomplete block design was adopted and the subjects were randomly allocated to each group. Uric acid concentration in urine samples excreted over 0-8 hr, were determined after coding the samples. There was significant decrease in the group receiving Z when compared to other groups. Though there was a decrease in uric acid excretion in the group receiving O, it was not statistically significant. Rifampicin and H seem to increase the uric acid excretion. The incidence of arthralgia was mainly due to Z and not due to either O or other drugs in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis

Effect of protein deficiency on absorption, transport and distribution of α-tocopherol in the rat

The absorption, transport and distribution of α-[3H]tocopherol were greatly decreased in protein deficiency. This was reflected in the subcellular distribution of α-[3H]tocopherol in livers of protein-deficient rats. The ratio, bound: free for α-[3H]tocopherol, also decreased in both serum and liver cytosol. After protein refeeding, absorption, transport and distribution patterns of α-[3H]tocopherol for the protein-deficient rats were restored to patterns similar to those of control animals

Occlusal Bite Force Changes during Fixed Orthodontic Treatment in Different Vertical Facial Morphology

AIM : To assess the changes in occlusal bite force during the first 6 months of fixed appliance orthodontic treatment in patients with different vertical facial morphology and to compare deviation of bite force in malocclusion patients with different facial types with the optimal bite force value estimated in individuals with acceptable occlusion METHOD : 30 patients age group of 14-24 yrs, were divided in to 3 groups as hypodivergent, normodivergent and hyperdivergent groups and their OBF was recorded during the study period of six months using strain gauge transducer at eight time intervals (T0 – T7). The repeated measures analysis of variance (within-subjects ANOVA) test with a Greenhouse-Geisser correction and Bonferroni post-hoc comparison test were applied to determine differences at the various time intervals. RESULT : Occlusal bite force is reduced to 50% of the pretreatment level by the end of the first week of fixed orthodontic treatment. OBF showed a tendency to return to pretreatment levels after second month of orthodontic treatment. OBF is least, average and higher in hyperdivergent, normodivergent and hypodivergent individuals respectively with or without orthodontic treatment. After aligning and leveling stage, OBF reaches the pretreatment level in hyperdivergent treatment group while OBF showed a tendency to reach close to the pretreatment in normodivergent and hypodivergent treatment group. CONCLUSION : After aligning and leveling stage, the OBF reaches the baseline level in hyperdivergent treatment group, while it reaches close to pretreatment level in hypodivergent and normodivergent treatment groups

A Study on Raththa Moolam

In fast paced modern world people have switched to inappropriate life styles and unhealthy food habits and this resulted in wide array of disease. Hence a search for universal systems and practices for human health and cure from every available source irrespective of its labels is in progress. This fascinated the author so much that he was very much attracted towards the disease Raththa Moolam from the various materials mentioned in siddha literature, the author correlated the disease with First degree Internal Haemorrhoids. The diagnosis was made by means of siddha parameters and the study was done on 20 Out patients and 20 In patients with the administration of trial drug Moola Rogangal Gunamaga Ennei – 2.5ml (Ref: Theraiyar Aruliya Vaithya Saaram). Preclinical screenings viz, bio chemical analysis, pharmacological analysis were done using the trial drug. At the end of study most cases showed very good result. SUMMARY: The clinical study on Raththa Moolam with reference to its aetiology, symptomatology treatment and prognosis were carried out in Post Graduate Department of Maruthuvam, Government Siddha Medical College, Palayamkottai. 40 cases who fulfilled the criteria were selected. Out of which 20 patients were admitted in Inpatient ward and were treated and remaining 20 cases were treated as Out patients. Clinical and pathological assessment was carried out on the basis of both Siddha and Modern Aspect. All the patients were treated with Moola Rogangal Gunamaga Ennei 2.5ml twice daily. The responses were assessed two days once for Out Patients and daily for In-patients. No untoward effects were observed clinically in any of the cases during the course of treatment. Patients were advised to follow pathiyam confined to trial drug and disease. The results were found to be very good in almost every case. Bleeding was arrested in almost all the cases. Other symptoms like constipation, burning sensation, pruritus ani were also relieved. After the relief of symptoms, patients were advised to follow yogasana, pranayamam and pathiyam including life style modification to prevent relapse of disease. Qualitative analysis of medicine showed the presence of calcium, chloride, ferrous iron, tannic acid, unsaturated compound, reducing sugar, amino acid which are active ingredients responsible for the action of trial medicine. Pharmacological analysis showed significant laxative and styptic action of trial drug. Most of the patients treated with trial medicine and who followed pathiyam with life style modifications showed good results

Knowledge and practice about contraception among married women in reproductive age group in a rural area of Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu, India: a cross-sectional study

Background: Unmet need for contraception is still high in developing countries because of various reasons and poses a great challenge to the success of family welfare programme Assessing the knowledge and filling the gap is essential for successful functioning of the programme and for reducing the unmet need.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practices on contraception among 100 married women in reproductive age group (15-49 years) residing in a Rural Health centre area of Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu, South India.Results: Among the 100 participants, common known methods of contraception were IUD (56%), permanent sterilization (38%), Pills (21%) and Condoms (14%). Out of 100 participants, only 38 were using contraception. Among the 62 who are not using any method of contraception, 30 are willing to practice contraception after motivation and among them 27 prefer to use temporary methods. Fear of side effects was most common reason stated for not using contraception.Conclusions: Knowledge and practice related to contraception among the participants were observed to be less. Health education campaigns emphasizing the need of family planning and about the services available in the government health facilities has to be organized regularly

A clinical study of prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors at a tertiary care centre in Karnataka, India

Background: Women with GDM are at increased risk for adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome .This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of GDM using Diabetes in pregnancy study group India (DIPSI) criteria and associated risk factors in pregnant women.Methods: Universal screening for GDM was done in 200 pregnant women with estimated gestational age between 14 -18 weeks. They were given 75 gm oral glucose irrespective of meals. Diagnosis of GDM was made if 2 hr plasma glucose was ≥140, If plasma glucose is <140 then the test is repeated at 24-28 weeks. If normal, then the test is repeated at 32 weeks. If plasma glucose is <140 mg at 32 weeks, then they are classified as non –GDM group. Prevalence of risk factors like age ≥25, BMI ≥25, family history of DM, bad obstetric history, history of GDM and macrosomia were studied in GDM and non GDM group and results are statistically analysed.Results: The prevalence in this study was 11.5%. The prevalence was more in women with advanced age, high BMI, positive family history of DM, past history of GDM and macrosomia.Conclusions: The prevalence of GDM was found to be 11.5 % and its association with risk factors found to be significant. DIPSI diagnostic procedure is a simple, cost effective and evidence based test

Which is better for pfannensteil skin incision closure in caesarean section? Interrupted mattress suture or continuous subcuticular suture

Background: Caesarean delivery is one of the most commonly performed operations in obstetrics. Postoperative comfort of the woman largely depends on the method of skin closure. Wound complications from caesarean delivery such as dehiscence or infection cause a significant emotional and economic burden in obstetric care. There are many methods and techniques for skin wound closure in caesarean section. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. The aim and objective of this study was to compare the wound outcomes in Pfannensteil incisions closed with mattress sutures using nonabsorbable suture and subcuticular sutures using absorbable sutures in caesarean deliveries.Methods: It is a prospective observational study done on 216 consecutive pregnant women who were admitted to labor room for elective or emergency caesarean section. Patients undergoing caesarean section with Pfannensteil incision between February 2019 to October 2019 were included in this study. Among 216 women, 108 women had mattress sutures and 108 women had subcuticular sutures for skin wound closure. The primary outcome studied was wound complications including erythema, wound dehiscence, burst abdomen, infection and pain which was studied on postoperative day 3-7. The secondary outcome was assessed at 6 weeks follow-up in terms of pain, cosmetic appearance of scar and patient satisfaction about scar.Results: A total of 216 pregnant women undergoing caesarean section were studied who had similar baseline characteristics and risk factors. However, women with previous caesarean section were more in mattress group. The overall incidence of erythema, surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, resuturing and pain was more in mattress group and was statistically significant. During follow-up at 6 weeks, women with subcuticular sutures had cosmetically better scar and more satisfied with their scars than women with mattress sutures but the pain level was same in both groups.Conclusions: Authors conclude that compared to mattress sutures, subcuticular sutures cause significantly fewer wound complications and pain in postoperative period. Also, subcuticular sutures are associated with cosmetically appealing scars and higher patient satisfaction. But there was no difference in pain level at 6 weeks in both methods of skin closure

Assay of ethambutol in pharmaceutical preparations

Ethambutol tablets of 200 and 400 mg denominations were assayed by the standard non-aqueous titration method and a simpler calorimetric method. With the titrimetric method, assay values, appreciably higher than the stated content (117% or more), were obtained with the products of 4 companies, while all the values were within 6% of the stated content by the calorimetric method. Rifampicin and pyrazinamide interfered with the estimation of ethambutol by both methods: isoniazid, however, caused an overestimation with the titrimetric method only
