Multi – Fuzzy Ideals of Г - Near Ring

Multi – fuzzy set theory is an extension of fuzzy set theory. In this paper, we define the multi fuzzy ideals of Г - near ring. Also, the notion of anti multi fuzzy ideals of a Г - near ring is introduced and investigated some related properties. This concept of multi fuzzy ideals of a Г - near ring is a generalization of the concept of fuzzy ideals in Г - near rings. Also, we define the multi-level subsets and multi anti level subsets of a multi fuzzy sub Г - near ring of a Г- near ring. In this paper we define the multi level subset and multi anti level subset of AUB. The purpose of this study establishes the algebra of multi fuzzy Г- near ring

6-Bromo-2-(4-nitro­phen­oxy)-3-(1-phenyl­ethyl)-3,4-dihydro-1,3,2-benzoxaza­phosphinine 2-oxide

In the title compound, C21H18BrN2O5P, the six-membered oxaza­phosphinine ring is in a twist-boat conformation. One of the phosphoryl O atoms is in an equatorial configuation while the other is axial with respect to the oxaza­phosphinine ring. The mean planes of the benzene ring to which the nitro group is attached and the phenyl ring form a dihedral angle of 83.5 (1)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along [100]

A Simple, Mild and Straight forward Route for the Synthesis of α-Ureidopeptidomimetics Using Cbz-Protected Amino Acid Esters

The synthesis of α-ureidopeptidomimetics employing a simple, mild and straight forward route starting from benzyloxy carbonyl (Cbz-) protected amino acid esters in presence of 2-Cl pyridine (2-chloropyridine) and Tf2O (triflic anhydride) in one-pot is described. The in situ generated isocyanate intermediates react with amino acid esters to yield the title compounds in good yields (89-96%) and the protocol proved to be racemization free

A Study on Prognostic Factors in Management of Breast Carcinoma in A Tertiary Care Hospital

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor and leading cause of death in women worldwide. It accounts for 15% of all cancer deaths According to World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 70% of breast malignancies occur in women with unknown risk factorsThe prognostic factor can be defined as a measurable variable which correlates with natural history of the disease. The most significant factor which influences prognosis in breast cancer is axillary lymph node involvement, which is usually assessed at time of surgery using sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection. The number of lymph nodal involvement is also significant. Involvement of 1-3 lymph nodes carry better prognosis than 4-9 and more than 9 lymph nodes involvement. Size of the tumour has long been recognized as a prognostic factor and as predictor of axillary node status, with larger tumours being associated with a bad prognosis and an increased incidence of nodal metastasis. This study is conducted in Department of General Surgery, SVRRGGH, Sri Venkateswara Medical College, Tirupati for a period of more than one and half year after getting approval from Institutional Ethical Committee on March 2021. A prospective study of 50 patients who fulfilled Inclusion Criteria is taken into consideration to know how prognostic factors like tumor size & grade, axillary lymphnode involvement are influencing the prognosis and management of breast carcinoma. Patients who took part in the study were from 28-68 years of age. Majority of people were in the age group of 46-55 years (38%). Increasing age, involvement of axillary lymph nodes, tumors with larger size and higher grade, and lymphovascular invasions are all associated with worse prognosis Keywords: Estrogen Receptor, Progesterone Receptor, Locally Advanced Breast Carcinom

A mild and highly efficient stereoselective reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with a variety of nucleophiles, viz. alcohols, phenols, thiols, thiophenols, and allyl trimethyl silane (TMS), in the presence of 5 mol% of lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate under solvent-free conditions yielded the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated glycopyranosides (pseudoglycals) in excellent yields

A Prospective Three-Year Cohort Study of the Epidemiology and Virology of Acute Respiratory Infections of Children in Rural India

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is a major killer of children in developing countries. Although the frequency of ARI is similar in both developed and developing countries, mortality due to ARI is 10-50 times higher in developing countries. Viruses are common causes of ARI among such children, yet the disease burden of these infections in rural communities is unknown.A prospective longitudinal study was carried out in children enrolled from two rural Indian villages at birth and followed weekly for the development of ARI, classified as upper respiratory infection, acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI), or severe ALRI. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, parainfluenza viruses and adenoviruses in nasopharyngeal aspirates were detected by direct fluorescent antibody testing (DFA) and, in addition, centrifugation enhanced culture for RSV was done. 281 infants enrolled in 39 months and followed until 42 months. During 440 child years of follow-up there were 1307 ARIs, including 236 ALRIs and 19 severe ALRIs. Virus specific incidence rates per 1000 child years for RSV were total ARI 234, ALRI 39, and severe ALRI 9; for influenza A total ARI 141, ALRI 39; for INF B total ARI 37; for PIV1 total ARI 23, for PIV2 total ARI 28, ALRI 5; for parainfluenza virus 3 total ARI 229, ALRI 48, and severe ALRI 5 and for adenovirus total ARI 18, ALRI 5. Repeat infections with RSV were seen in 18 children.RSV, influenza A and parainfluenza virus 3 were important causes of ARI among children in rural communities in India. These data will be useful for vaccine design, development and implementation purposes

Observations with the High Altitude GAmma-Ray (HAGAR) telescope array in the Indian Himalayas

The High Altitude GAmma-Ray (HAGAR) array is a wavefront sampling array of 7 telescopes, set-up at Hanle, at 4270 m amsl, in the Ladakh region of the Himalayas (Northern India). It constitutes the first phase of the HImalayan Gamma-Ray Observatory (HIGRO) project. HAGAR is the first array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes established at a so high altitude, and was designed to reach a relatively low threshold (currently around 200 GeV) with quite a low mirror area (31 m2). Regular source observations are running since September 2008. Estimation of the sensitivity of the experiment is undergoing using several hours of data from the direction of Crab nebula, the standard candle source of TeV gamma-ray astronomy, and from dark regions. Data were acquired using the On-source/Off-source tracking mode, and by comparing these sky regions the strength of the gamma-ray signal could be estimated. Gamma-ray events arrive close to telescope axis direction while the cosmic-ray background events arrive from the whole field of view. We discuss our analysis procedures for the estimate of arrival direction, estimate of gamma ray flux from Crab nebula, and the sensitivity of the HAGAR system, in this paper
