Conformal solids and holography

We argue that a $SO(d)$ magnetic monopole in an asymptotically AdS space-time is dual to a $d$-dimensional strongly coupled system in a solid state. In light of this, it would be remiss of us not to dub such a field configuration $solidon$. In the presence of mixed boundary conditions, a solidon spontaneously breaks translations (among many other symmetries) and gives rise to Goldstone excitations on the boundary$-$the phonons of the solid. We derive the quadratic action for the boundary phonons in the probe limit and show that, when the mixed boundary conditions preserve conformal symmetry, the longitudinal and transverse sound speeds are related to each other as expected from effective field theory arguments. We then include backreaction and calculate the free energy of the solidon for a particular choice of mixed boundary conditions, corresponding to a relevant multi-trace deformation of the boundary theory. We find such free energy to be lower than that of thermal AdS. This suggests that our solidon undergoes a solid-to-liquid first order phase transition by melting into a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole as the temperature is raised.Comment: 31 pages; v2: incorrect calculation in sec. 4 has been deleted; main results unchange

VALIDATING EFFECTIVE RESUME BASED ON EMPLOYER’S INTEREST WITH RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM

In current technological world, recruitment process of corporate has evolved to the greater extent. Both the candidates and the recruiters prefer resumes to be submitted as an e-document. Validating those resumes manually is not much flexible and effective and time saving. The team requires more man power to scrutinize the resumes of the candidates. The aim of our work is to help the recruiters to find the most appropriate resume that match all their requirements. The system allows the recruiter to post his/her requirement as query, and the system will recommend the relevant resume by calculating the similarity between the query and the resume using Vector Space Model (VSM)

Evaluation of the performance of gum guar varieties in north eastern Karnataka, India

The climatic situation in north eastern parts of Karnataka (except Bidar district) is almost similar to that of Rajastan. There is considerable area under rainfed situations and guar being a highly drought and temperature tolerant summer annual legume crop, there is hope for guar as an alternate and contingent crop during drought year in this region. With this objective effort were made to introduce, evaluate and to identify suitable gum guar varieties for North eastern parts of Karnataka. Ten gum guar varieties developed, released and cultivated in Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat state were evaluated in Agricultural Research Stations (ARS) located in Bidar, Gulbarga, Yadgiri, Bellary and Raichur districts of Karnataka during Kharif 2013-14. At Bidar, the top entry with respect to yield was HG-884 (679.00 Kg/ Ha), Variety RGC-1031 (793.00 Kg/Ha) performed well with respect to seed yield in Gulbarga district. Genotypes GAUG-13 (614.00 Kg/Ha) and RGC-986 (501.00 Kg/Ha) recorded higher seed yield respectively, in Bellary and Yadgiri district. At Raichur GAUG-13, recorded highest seed yield of 1432.00 Kg/Ha. Over the locations genotype GAUG-13 recorded highest seed yield of 759.00 Kg/Ha followed by HG-884 (700.40 Kg/Ha) and RGC-986 (696.60 Kg/Ha). The varieties tested exhibited considerable significance differences among themselves at four locations, except at one location (Agricultural Research Station, Bheemarayanagudi, Yadgir district). Variety GAUG-13, recorded highest seed yield over three locations indicating its wider adaptability

Pulmonary tuberculosis in HIV individuals: Preliminary report on clinical features and response to treatment

Objectives: To study the clinical, radiological and immunological profile of pulmonary tuberculosis in HIV infected patients and assess the response to short-course chemotherapy regimens. Methods: Seventy eight patients (68 males and 10 females) with HIV infection and having symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis attending the Government Hospital for Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram or the Tuberculosis Research Centre, Chennai were studied. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was based on clinical evaluation, bacteriological examination including sputum smear and culture and chest skiagram. HIV diagnosis was based on two tests (rapid/ELISA), detecting different antigens. CD4+ T cell counts were done on all patients initially and at the end of treatment. Blood tests and skiagrams were repeated at 2 months and at the end of treatment. All the patients were treated with standard (RNTCP) short course regimens. Patients were given all the doses under supervision during the initial intensive phase and through community DOTS providers in the continuation phase. Results: Sixty five patients had culture confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis, of whom 54 had smear positive disease, initially. The radiological manifestations were varied, with 11 subjects having miliary tuberculosis, 54 with non-homogeneous opacities and 10 with cavitation. The mean CD4 cell count at intake was 192 ± 172 cells/cumm. Patients showed good initial response to treatment with significant weight gain. At the end of 2 months of treatment, 91% of patients had sputum cultures negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the CD4 % fell significantly by the sixth month. The study is being continued to assess the long-term response to SCC of patients with HIV and tuberculosis. Conclusions: Tuberculosis has a varied clinical presentation in patients with HIV infection. The spectrum of radiographic features ranges from normal to a miliary pattern. Inspite of clinical and bacteriological improvement during treatment, immunologic deterioration may continue

Study on Serum Magnesium Levels in Diabetic patients with Microvascular Complications

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic and endocrine disease characterized by hyperglycemia associated with both insulin resistance and defective insulin secretion Hypomagnesemia has been reported to occur at an increased frequency among patients with type 2 Diabetes mellitus compared with their counterparts without diabetes. Excessive urinary magnesium loss associated with glycosuria is probably the most important factor in the genesis of hypomagnesemia in diabetic. Previous studies have shown that Diabetes mellitus’s association with disturbed magnesium metabolism. In this study serum magnesium levels of diabetic patients are estimated and correlated with duration,microvascular complicatios and variables like age, sex, smoking, etc. This study was carried out in Department of General Medicine at Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital , Chennai during the period between March 2016 and August 2016. This study was ethically approved by the Ethical Committee of Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai.This study is a case control study, enrolling 100 diabetic patients ; 50 Cases with diabetic microvascular complications and 50 selected from those who visited hypertension clinic and those who were admitted in wards during the study period. This study concluded the association of hypomagnesemia and diabetes. This study also concluded that there was a significant negative correlation noted between serum magnesium levels and duration of diabetes. This study also found out strong association between hypomagnesemia and diabetic neuropathy.There was no significant correlation between hypomagnesemia and other microvascular complications

Ergonomic Chair Design For Thermal Comfort Using Phase Change Materials

The metabolism process of humanoids is well designed for emitting the heat constantly. But no heat transfer phenomena occur from the spinal side of the body in sitting posture. The proper heat transfer is arrested in the sitting posture; this makes the human to feel discomfort. The bus drivers are the main victims who face this problem every day and cause of the disease called “hemorrhoid”. This project mainly focused to modify and construct a convenient chilled cushion chair with jam-backed Phase Change Material (PCM) to overcome such problems. This chair absorbs body heat when occupied and discharges while vacant. The stages when liquid change to solid and solid change to liquid occurs nearly by a constant temperature. The chair provides a cooling effect and also a cushioning effect to the occupier. The PCMs are having large latent heat and provide a cooling effect by maintaining nearly by constant temperature to the human body.  The jam-backed chilled cushion chair is invented for improved thermal comfort for the driver for some extended time by the proper temperature that acceptable level of the human. The performance tests are carried out to evaluate the working of the pad

Effect of Aerobic Training Program to Reduce Stress and Anxiety Among Persons with Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome

Introduction: To determine the effect of aerobic training programs on reducing stress and anxiety among people with alcohol withdrawal syndrome Objectives: To identify stress and anxiety among alcohol withdrawal patients by using the DASS scale; To find out the effectiveness of conventional therapy among alcohol withdrawal patients in the control group; To administer an effective aerobic training program among alcohol withdrawal patients in the experimental group; To find out and correlate whether this aerobic training protocol is effective for stress and anxiety relief among alcohol withdrawal patients. Methods: A total of thirty (30) populations were selected according to the inclusion criteria. The alcohol withdrawal persons with stress and anxiety were measured by the DASS-21 scale. The samples were divided into fifteen (15) samples in the experimental group and (15) fifteen samples in the control group. The intervention that is given to the sample is mild to severe levels of stress and anxiety. The pre-test and post-test were collected from both the control and experimental groups. The experimental group receives aerobic training exercise whereas the control group does not receive aerobic training exercise. Results: The results showed that the comparison of pre and post-test mean DASS 21 of the experimental group was highly statistically significant, as compared to the control group because of the effect of aerobic training programs to reduce stress and anxiety among persons with alcohol withdrawal syndrome Since the p-value of 0.001 is lesser than 0.05. The DASS 21 measure scores of the pre and post-test of the control group were significantly lower than that of the experimental group after the implementation of an aerobic training program. Conclusions: The current study concludes that there was a significant improvement in the experimental group than the control group after the aerobic training program. Thus, this study proves that aerobic training programs can be used as an effective intervention to reduce stress and anxiety by using the DASS 21 scale for persons with alcohol withdrawal syndrome
