Channel Estimation for MIMO MC-CDMA Systems

The concepts of MIMO MC-CDMA are not new but the new technologies to improve their functioning are an emerging area of research. In general, most mobile communication systems transmit bits of information in the radio space to the receiver. The radio channels in mobile radio systems are usually multipath fading channels, which cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) in the received signal. To remove ISI from the signal, there is a need of strong equalizer. In this thesis we have focused on simulating the MIMO MC-CDMA systems in MATLAB and designed the channel estimation for them

The Divine State in the Eyes of Kaviko

The Tamils have divided their land into five categories according to the nature of each. In every divided territory, God has been properly created. When they created God, they very carefully divided God on the basis of the land, placing a distance between each land and uniting the people. Kaviko Abdul Rahman was a native of Madurai and served the Tamil literary world. Despite being from a Mohammedan community, he had no hatred for other religions. Our eyes widen when we see that God has created Kannapirana in such an enchanting way. He sees Paranthaman, Mohammad Nabi, and Jesus Christ equally on the same scale of balance. Godly worship and religion are very critical of, condemning, and skinning the present state of affairs in our country, as it was then and as it is today

An approach to assess the quality of honey using partial least square method

The objective of the present study is to obtain the quantity of honey components such as moisture, glucose, fructose and sucrose in order to access the quality of honey. The tested honey samples are authenticated if the characteristics of a pure honey. The average ratio of 56% fructose to 44% glucose, but the ratios in the individual honeys ranged from a high of 64% fructose and 36% glucose to a low of 50% fructose and 50% glucose. The contents such as fructose and sucrose in honey is due to the presence of invertase enzymes. The organic acids present in the honey is responsible for the flavor and stability against the contamination of honey due to microorganisms. The natural food items are adulterated intentionally to increase the quantity and there by the quality gets affected. The main adulterants added in honey are sucrose, corn syrup, sugar syrup and jaggery syrup. The quantification deals in finding out the amount of basic constituents present in pure honey and adulterated honey using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with the multivariate analysis and validating the same using chemical analysis method. The partial least square model is used in predicting the constituents of the samples

A FRACTIONAL DELAY FIR FILTER BASED ON LAGRANGE INTERPOLATION OF FARROW STRUCTURE

An efficient implementation technique for the Lagrange interpolation is derived. This formulation called the Farrow structure leads to a version of Lagrange interpolation that is well suited to time varying FD filtering. Lagrange interpolation is mostly used for fractional delay approximation as it can be used for increasing the sampling rate of signals and systems. Lagrange interpolation is one of the representatives for a class of polynomial interpolation techniques. The computational cost of this structure is reduced as the number of multiplications are minimised in the new structure when compared with the conventional structure

Evaluation of analgesic activity of aqueous extract of Mangifera indica leaves in albino rats

Background: Mangifera indica (MI), also known as mango, aam, has been an important herb in the Ayurvedic and indigenous medical systems for over 4000 years. Mangoes belong to genus Mangifera, which consists of about 30 species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. According to Ayurveda, varied medicinal properties are attributed to different parts of the mango tree. This study was undertaken to evaluate the analgesic activity of aqueous extract of MIleaves in albino rats.Methods: Analgesic activity was evaluated by hot plate method and acetic acid induced writhing with four groups of six rats each. Group 1 was control, Group 2 received standard drug (tramadol and diclofenac for hot plate and writhing method, respectively), and Groups 3 and 4 received aqueous extract of MI leaves extract 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg.Results: The reaction time (seconds, mean±standard error mean [SEM]) in hot plate method at 120 mins increased significantly (p<0.001) with MI 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg, 8.96±0.12 and 10.61±0.2, respectively. The acetic acid induced writhing test showed a significant (p<0.001) decrease in number of writhes (mean±SEM) in MI 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg 43.76±1.59 and 30.33±1.41 respectively in treated rats when compared with control 67.17±0.75.Conclusion: Aqueous extract of MI extract has significant analgesic effect in rats

ANTIBACTERIAL POTENTIAL OF ESSENTIAL OILS DERIVED FROM NATURAL, CALLUS AND IN-VITRO PROPAGATED SOURCES OF MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA AGAINST COMMON BACTERIAL PATHOGENS

Objective: Melaleuca alternifolia (M. alternifolia) and its essential oil (EO) fractions have been used widely and traditionally in the treatment of various infectious diseases and hence its antibacterial potential is investigated in the present study. Methods: The antibacterial activity was studied through the agar disc diffusion method and broth dilution method, DNA fragmentation studies and confocal microscopy morphological studies were done. In-silico molecular interaction was studied against microbial target using docking software. Results: The inhibitory concentration of the EOs was recorded at 75% dilution with larger inhibition zones. The DNA fragmentation analyzed in the essential oil derived from in-vitro propagated leaves (EOIPL) of M. alternifolia treated bacterial cultures was compared with negative and positive controls. In Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of EOIPL treated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) showed time-dependent growth inhibition. The DNA content in the EOIPL treated bacterial cultures was comparatively less than in control cultures. The cell morphology changes of S. aureus cells were studied through confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis which showed a significant decrease in viable bacterial cells. The active component, terpinen-4-ol docked to autolysin receptor revealed stable interaction with the microbial target. Conclusion: Thus EOIPL was explored to possess bactericidal activity against common infectious bacteria and could in incorporated in therapeutic natural antibiotic formulations as with future studies

SUMMARY: Valiazhal keelvayu is one among a common problem in clinical practice. It has received an international attention in search of finding out of a new drug for the ailment of the sufferers. Valiazhal keelvayu is a chronic multi system connective tissue disorder of unknown aetiology. The characteristic feature of Rheumatoid arthritis is persistant inflammatory synovitis usually involve the peripheral joints in a symmetrical fashion. The potential of the synovial inflammation to cause cartilage destruction and bone erosion and subsequent joint deformity is the hall mark of the disease. Joint pain, Swelling, tenderness which may be aggravated on motion. Morning stiffness of 2 to 3 hours duration, easy fatigability, anaemia, occasional fever are the common manifestation of the disease. Extra articular manifestations are Rheumatoid nodules, lymph adenopathy, Spleenomegaly, Rheumatoid vasculitis, ophthalmic manifestations include scleritis, kerato conjunctivitis and pleuritis, fibrous alveolitis. The study on Valiazhal keelvayu (R.A) was with trial drugs. 1. Parangipattai Rasayanam 1-2 gms B.D. Internal. 2. Keelvathathirku Iynthennai External. Twenty cases of both sexes, and of various age groups were chosen and the study was carried out. 90% of the patients belonged to pitha kaalam. 45% of the cases were seemed to develop the disease during pinpani kaalam (maasi – panguni). All the cases came from Marutha nilam. Seventy percent of cases belonged to poor class families. Considering aetiology ten percent of the cases had a positive family history. 85% of the cases had a gradual on set of disease. All the cases had joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness. 75% of the cases had restricted movements. 75% of the cases had initial involvement of joints of the upper limb. In all the cases proximal interphalangeal joints and meta carpophalangeal joints were involved. Ten percent of the cases had deformities in their interphanlangeal, metacarpophalangeal joints and wrist joint. Regarding uyir thathukkal, viyanan and was were affected in 100% of the cases abanan was affected in 50% of cases samanan was affected in 75% of cases anala pitham was affected in 50% of the cases. In 60% of the cases ranjakam was affected and in 75% of the cases sathaka pitham was affected. And santhigam were affected in all the cases, kilethagam was affected in 50% of cases.
