Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is an active wireless network that can be formed without any existing permanent framework networks. Mobile Ad hoc Networks is an independent structure of mobile nodes communicated with wireless channels. Distributed cache invalidation method is performed among intermediate routing mobile nodes. In MANETs routing protocols are provided desirable route establishments of the mobile nodes. Ad hoc On-demand distance vector routing protocol (AODV) was well known single route protocol , Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector routing protocol (AOMDV) is extends the AODV protocol with multipath. These results are carried out in network simulator version2 (NS2), the performance is analyzed and compared between AODV and AOMDV routing protocols

Accurate and Efficient Query Processing at Location-Based Services by using Route APIs

Efficient query processing system provides best search results to user by gathering user point of interest. Mobile users required a Location based server (LBS) to search the spatial related data. Existing system provided route results but it takes more time to execute the query and does not gives the accurate results means traffic related travel timings. The proposed system is a fastest processer for location search users. Here, LBS obtain route travel times from online route API. So it gives the accurate results to user by preventing number route request and query execution time. We use range query algorithm to reduce the number of route request and Parallel Scheduling Techniques to reduce the query execution time. Our experimental result shows that the proposed system is more efficient than existing processer

A Comparative Analysis Among Indian Commercial Banks (Public & Private) and a Foreign Bank Using Var (Value-At-Risk) Model

This research paper tries to assess the various types of risks prevalent in the banking sector using VaR (Value-at-Risk) model – a Risk assessment tool. As Value – at- Risk measures the probability that an asset is valued below a certain value during a particular time, a probabilistic approach is used to find the profitability. A comparative analysis is performed among the sample banks. Both the conventional methods and the new methods are used to evaluate the risk profile of the banks. The likelihood of occurrence of a particular value for an asset gives us the magnitude of risk involved in the corresponding asset of the bank. The VaR values which depend on market rates which are calculated for portfolios of various banks thus enabling us to differentiate various risk management practices prevalent among Indian Banks and a Foreign Bank. Factors which help in mitigating the risk are analyzed and their tolerance levels are put forth. Depending upon the confidence levels and considering worst case scenarios, financial institutions like banks are in constant search of tools to assess risk, which they might face in near future and to efficiently manage risk. This paper also provides an insight into the emerging risk management practices in the banking sector.

Impact of Robustness of Supply Chain on its Performance - An Empirical Study

Robustness of supply chain is rapidly expanding due to mitigation and reduction in the risk of unexpected and destructive events in the companies. As it is impossible for companies to resume their business post major crisis, the prediction of environmental factors that surround the companies paved way for development of a disaster recovery plan. 80% of the companies suffer from business interruptions and lack clarity in disaster management plan. A conceptual model was developed and validated based on supply chain management and supply chain robustness. A structured questionnaire was developed and administered to the supply chain managers. The survey data was collected from 126 organizations of the automotive sector. Structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques were employed to test the hypotheses. The study indicates that the robustness of Supply chain has a positive impact on the performance of the supply chai

Diarrhoeal disease outbreak in a rural area of Karnataka

Background: Acute diarrhoea is the passage of 3 or more loose or watery stools in the past 24 hours with or without dehydration. Owing to WASH strategy (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) the burden of diarrheal diseases has seen a tremendous decline over the past 2 decades. Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio Cholerae. Objectives: 1. To document the factors responsible for the outbreak. 2. To provide recommendations for prevention and control of such outbreaks in future. Methods: After receiving verbal information from district office regarding outbreak of diarrhoeal disease (cholera) in a town of Bijapur district, we independently conducted a cross sectional study in the affected area and collected information regarding no. of people affected since the outbreak, their age and sex distribution. A total of 3802 people were interviewed using a predesigned questionnaire on 28th and 29th July, 2012. We also conducted environmental investigation regarding the source of contamination and collected 2 water samples from drinking water source. Results: All the cases were clustered in the five streets, which were consuming water from contaminated two water tanks. A total of 121 cases of diarrhoea were identified affecting 3.18% of the population. Attack rate of cholera was highest (4.5%) in 25-34 years age group followed by 4.22% in 15-24 years age group. Attack rates was higher among females (3.4%) compared to males (2.9%). Laboratory report stated that water samples were unfit for drinking purpose. V. Cholera (Ogawa serotype) was isolated from water sample. Conclusion: Consumption of contaminated water from a newly dug bore-well had led to the diarrhea outbreak. Lack of sanitation and hygiene had worsened the situation

A study of femoral bicondylar angle in Udaipur, India zone

Background: Human body consists of 206 bones; among which femur. The thigh bone is considered as the biggest and strongest bone of the body. The bone contains a femoral bicondylar angle which helps in maintaining the balance and certain movements of the body. Those movements are essential to stand upright and erect; therefore, helps in balancing the posture of the body. Bicondylar angle shows various gestures and characteristics essential for describing the necessary ailments of the human skeleton. Thus, the present study is designed with an aim to measure and compare the bicondylar angle of femur both in males and females in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India zone.Methods: Totally, 96 bones were studied- 48 males and 48 females’ bones in 2 years duration. The study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy of Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital and R.N.T. Medical College. The bicondylar angle was measured with a suitable apparatus comprising of compass, Digital Vernier Calliper, scale and protector (Figure 1) along with osteometric board. Bicondylar angle of male and female bone was calculated using SPSS software.Results: The study shows that the bicondylar angle of left femur was greater than right femur in both the genders, but their side differences was statistically insignificant (p>0.05).Conclusions: Hence, the bicondylar angle of female is larger than in comparison to males and these results can put emphasis/light on the orthopaedic clinicians and surgeons to know the etiology of osteometric diseases

Study of incidence and risk factors of urinary tract infection in catheterised patients admitted at tertiary care

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are the most common nosocomial infection and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors of urinary tract infection in catheterised patients in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: Total of 200 patients above 16 years in whom an indwelling Foley‘s catheter inserted were taken in the study. A urine specimen was obtained aseptically and culture done on nutrient agar, sheep blood agar and MacConkey agar plates. After incubation of 24 hours, colony count done for organisms showing growth and colony count ≥105 was taken significant.Results: The incidence of CAUTI in the present study was 31%. Higher incidence of CAUTI (56.46%) was found in female sex as compared to males (43.54%). Incidence of CAUTI was found higher in first weeks (54.83%). Incidence among diabetes patients is found more (63.33%). Most common isolate found was E. coli (38.71%) among all uropathogens. Uropathogens isolated from CAUTI are more resistant to antimicrobials.Conclusions: It is must to implement following strategy for reducing the risk of infection due to indwelling catheters: 1. reducing the duration of catheterization 2.
