Design of 1 :7 .645 scale LCA high speed air intake model

This report details the mechanical design aspects of the 1:7.645 scale LCA high speed air intake model. The model is intended to generate intake data in the transonic range 0.7 & 1.3 by Aeronautical Development Agency. The model has been designed for testing in the S2MA ONERA wind tunnel facilities. The 1:7.645 scale model is basically a composite model with metallic bulkheads/inserts and mainly consists of front fuselage, the wing, the canopy, interchangeable front duct modules, the rear portion of the CFRP duct, the main bulkhead, the heat exchanger duct, the sting, kulite rake, rear portion of the metallic duct including venturi, butterfly valve and diffuser. The kulite rake, the sting and the rear portion of the duct available with ONERA is made use of in the present model design. The steel bulkhead provides anchor support for the model in the tunnel through a flange mounted sting. The model has been designed to meet all the requirements of ONERA regarding model design and construction. For the design of the present model, the critical loads are scaled down from the load data of the 1:4.405 scale model. Structural analysis based on strength of materials approach has been carried out on the components of the model viz. forward fuselage, main bulkhead, air intake duct, and the splitter plate. FEN analysis has been carried out on the wing which is supposed to be the critical element of the model. The stress analysis shows that adequate margins of safety are available for all the components of the model

Unicode-driven Deep Learning Handwritten Telugu-to-English Character Recognition and Translation System

Telugu language is considered as fourth most used language in India especially in the regions of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka etc. In international recognized countries also, Telugu is widely growing spoken language. This language comprises of different dependent and independent vowels, consonants and digits. In this aspect, the enhancement of Telugu Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR) has not been propagated. HCR is a neural network technique of converting a documented image to edited text one which can be used for many other applications. This reduces time and effort without starting over from the beginning every time. In this work, a Unicode based Handwritten Character Recognition(U-HCR) is developed for translating the handwritten Telugu characters into English language. With the use of Centre of Gravity (CG) in our model we can easily divide a compound character into individual character with the help of Unicode values. For training this model, we have used both online and offline Telugu character datasets. To extract the features in the scanned image we used convolutional neural network along with Machine Learning classifiers like Random Forest and Support Vector Machine. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Root Mean Square Propagation (RMS-P) and Adaptative Moment Estimation (ADAM)optimizers are used in this work to enhance the performance of U-HCR and to reduce the loss function value. This loss value reduction can be possible with optimizers by using CNN. In both online and offline datasets, proposed model showed promising results by maintaining the accuracies with 90.28% for SGD, 96.97% for RMS-P and 93.57% for ADAM respectively

Morphological Analysis of the Human Internal Iliac Artery in South Indian Population

Objectives: The accidental hemorrhage is common due to erroneous interpretation of the variant arteries during surgical procedures, hence the present study has been undertaken with reference to its morphological significance. The objectives were to examine the level of origin, length and the branching pattern of the human internal iliac artery in South Indian population. Methods: The study included 60 human bisected pelvises irrespective of their side and sex. The specimens were collected from the anatomy laboratory and were fixed with the formalin. The branching patterns were studied and demonstrated as per the guidelines of Adachi. Results: The origin of internal iliac artery was at the level of S1 vertebra in majority (58.3%) of the cases. The average length of internal iliac artery was 37 ± 4.62 mm (range, 13-54 mm). The type I pattern of the internal iliac artery was most common (83.5%) followed by types III and II. The type IV and V pattern of adachi were not observed. Conclusions: The results of this study were different from those reported by others and may be because of racial and geographical variations. Prior knowledge of the anatomical variations is beneficial for the vascular surgeons ligating the internal iliac artery or its branches and the radiologists interpreting angiograms of the pelvic region

BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDY OF POST-OPERATIVE WOUND INFECTIONS AND THEIR ANTIBIOGRAMS IN A TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) are frequently occurring in postoperative complications. The present study is undertaken to isolate and determine the frequency of distribution of pathogens in post-operative wound infections and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the causative organisms. Methods: This cross-sectional, prospective study was carried out over a period of one year. 250 pus samples from cases of surgical site infections were processed for gram staining, culture, biochemical identification tests, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Results: Out of 250 patients of post-operative wound infections, 48 are cultured positive, among which 21 were gram-positive, and 27 were gram-negative. Staphylococcus aureus emerged as the commonest etiological agent 17 (35.42%) followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 14 (29.17%), E.coli 6 (12.5%). Amikacin (72.9%) was found to be the most effective antibiotic, and Multidrug resistance was observed with staphylococcus aureus (79.16%) and pseudomonas aeruginosa (83.3%). Conclusions: Staphylococcus aureus is the commonest etiological agent for Postoperative wound infections. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of various isolates helps in proper selection of antibiotics and in this study, it was found that Amikacin was the most effective antibiotic against postoperative wound infections. &nbsp

Determination of Molybdenum (VI) in Amaranthus and Potato by New Extractive -Spectrophotometric Method with Isonitriso p-Isopropyl Acetophenone Phenyl Hydrazone

ABSTRACT A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of molybdenum (VI) with Isonitriso p-isopropyl acetophenone phenyl hydrazone. Molybdenum was complexed with isonitriso pisopropyl acetophenone phenyl hydrazone and the light yellow colour complex was extracted into methyl isobutyl ketone. The absorbance of the complex was maximum at 470 nm. The molar absorptivity of the complex was 3.12x10 -3 L.mol -1 .cm -1 and Sandell's sensitivity was 2.4354x10 -3 µg/cm 2 . The system obeyed Beer's law over the concentration range of 1.0 to 32 ppm. The composition of the complex (metal: ligand) was 1:2. This method was employed for the determination of molybdenum in Amaranthus and Potato

Increasing Compliance with Mass Drug Administration Programs for Lymphatic Filariasis in India through Education and Lymphedema Management Programs

Global elimination of lymphatic filariasis requires giving drugs at least annually to populations who live at risk of becoming infected with the parasite. At least 80% of people at risk need to take the drugs annually for 5 or more years to stop transmission of the infection. People suffering from the long-term effects of infection, such as swollen legs, benefit from programs that teach self-care of their affected limbs. In this study, we assessed the impact of an educational campaign that, after addressing previously identified predictors of compliance, significantly improved drug compliance. The specific factors improving compliance included knowing about the drug distribution in advance, knowing that everyone is at risk for acquiring the infection, knowing that the drug distribution was for lymphatic filariasis prevention, and knowing at least one component of leg care. We also found that areas with programs to assist people with swollen legs had greater increases in compliance. This research provides evidence that program evaluation can be used to improve drug compliance. In addition, our work shows for the first time that programs to benefit people with swollen legs caused by lymphatic filariasis also increase the participation of people without disease in drug treatment programs
