A review on Snehana w.s.r. to Bahiparimarjana Chikitsa

There are different types of therapies mentioned in Samhita, one of which is Bahi-parimarjana cikitsa. This includes use of therapies like Abhyanga, Parishek, Pichu, Lepa, Pradeha etc. Snehana is the most commonly indicated and extensively applied treatment procedure amongst Bahi-parimarjana chikitsa. Along with treatment Snehana is useful in Swasthavritta (Dinacharya) also. Application of oil i.e. ‘oil bath’ can be done generally all over the body for maintenance of health. Apart from that therapies like Aksi Tarpana, Karna Purana also includes use of Sneha

Case Study on the management of Psoriasis in Ayurveda through Takradhara, Virechana and internal medication

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, widely present across globe. The similar clinical condition is described in Ayureda thousand of years ago called Ek Kustha.[1] Many patients of Psoraisis have been treated by various approaches of Ayurveda like Medicine and Virchana, Vamana and Medicine etc. Psoriasis is a Psycho-somatic disease where excess lesion lead to distress. Virechana and Medication is already an established mode of treatment in Ayurveda[2], here we have added Takradhara to diminish aggravation, irritation and pain of lesion and also to combat with distressful condition. The present case shows remarkable results in Psorasis by combination of Takradhara, Virechana and internal medications

Electronic Warfare:Issues and Challenges for Emitter Classification

Electronic warfare (EW) is an important capability that provides advantage to defence forces over their adversaries. Defence forces gather tactical intelligence through EW sensors, which provide the means to counter hostile actions of enemy forces. Functions of an EW system is threat detection and the area surveillance so as to determine the identity of surrounding emitters. Emitter classification system identifies possible threats by analysing intercepted signals. Problem of identifying emitters based on its intercepted signal characteristics is a challenging problem in electronic warfare studies. Major issues and challenges for emitter classification such as drifting of emitter parameters due to aging, operational characteristic of an emitter, i.e., same emitter can operate on multiple bands and multiple pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) are highlighted. A novel approach based on some well-known statistical methods, e.g., regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and discriminent analysis is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been tested over ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) data and illustrated using simulation data. The proposed approach can play a solution for wide variety of problems in emitter classification in electronic warfare studies.Defence Science Journal, 2011, 61(3), pp.228-234, DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.61.52
