Ant Colony Optimization for Efficient Resource Allocation in Cloud Computing

Resource scheduling and energy consumption is an important issue of Cloud Computing. The intention of optimization for scheduling resources is an important issue to be considered in scheduling of different resources among heterogeneous users. The resources are placed in a distributed location in cloud and the major task is to distribute the resources effectively such that the processing time and energy is reduced. In this paper, Ant Colony optimization technique is proposed to optimize the resources in an efficient manner. ACO is used to choose one among the different alternative paths to determine the processing order of each resource. The search space is reduced to provide a better solution. Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP) is the application that is used here to find the shortest path to the destination. This reduces the delay in allocating resources to the user by providing a global search technique. The energy conservation which is the main objective of Green Computing, can also be achieved using this technique

Comparative study of labetalol and nifedipine in management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy

Background: Hypertensive disorders complicate 5 to 10 percent of all pregnancies, and together they are one member of the deadly triad, of haemorrhage and infection.Methods: The Present study was conducted at Navodaya Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Raichur from January 2014 to December 2015. The efficacy of labetalol verses nifedipine in management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was studied. The study consisted of 100 antenatal patients irrespective of parity and gestational age from 20-40weeks patients, with severe PIH with imminent eclampsia. Heart diseases, Hematological disorders, Liver diseases renal diseases and Bronchial asthma were excluded from the study.Results: In the study, fall in mean arterial pressure of >20mm Hg was noted 6hrs after initiation of treatment in nifedipine group which is statistically significant; no statistical significance was observed in both groups at 12hrs. A fall of mean arterial pressure to normal was noted at 48hrs and 72 hrs in labetalol, which is statistically highly significant.Conclusions: The present study indicates labetalol to be a better anti-hypertensive in terms of control of hypertension, mode of vaginal delivery and fetal outcome

AYURVEDA SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF HEPATITIS B – A CASE STUDY

A successful case study of Ayurveda management of Hepatitis B was reported. A 19 year old patient with classical symptoms of hepatitis B assessed subjectively and objectively and meticulously recorded at all stages. Yellow discoloration of eye, urine, nails and tongue, loss of appetite, generalized itching and fatigue was noted. After enhancing digestive capacity, medicated ghee –‘Vyoshadi grta,’ was administered as per Shaman principles in a dose of 10gm twice daily. Mrudu virechana (mild purgation) induced by Trivrth lehya 20gm which resulted in 5 to 6 Vegas (bouts of loose stools). Agni (digestive capacity) has slowly but gradually increased. Diet quantity and quality was rectified as required. Rasayan prescribed in one single dose daily was Draskhavlehya, after patient showed clinically significant clearance of all symptoms. Rasayana and Ahara vihara management was continued until blood serum hepatitis antigen B reported negative. Liver Function Test, HB percent in laboratory registered normalization and clinical confirmation showed significant results. Photographs of urine and eye documented periodically. Blood reports showed radical improvements. Physically, mentally and spiritually patient has reported wellbeing. Patient moved towards Swasthya (complete wellbeing). This case study guaranteed Ayurveda management as quick, safe and effective. Large scale study was required to reconfirm reports and can be initiated on similar principles and practices

IGuide an Electronic Aid for Visually Impaired

IGuide is a travel aid to help visually impaired to provide obstacle free path, wet floor detection and live location of the user. A few specialists created electronic ‘travel helps’ to help and improve speed and versatility of an individual who is outwardly hindered. IGuide is one of the electronic ‘travel helps’ that gives client wellbeing and organized data through material and sound criticism instruments. The objective of the IGuide system is to offer simplified information of the surrounding environment to the user and to deduce prioritized information without causing information overloading. The device comprises of a low power embedded system with ultrasonic sensors, APR module, Wi-Fi module vibration motors, and a battery. Furthermore, we are including a Wi-Fi module which helps in providing live location of the user in case of emergency. Evaluation of the IGuide on people with visual impairments has shown effectiveness and usefulness irrespective of the number of years of blindness

Analysis of two-color photoelectron spectroscopy for attosecond metrology at seeded free-electron lasers

The generation of attosecond pulse trains at free-electron lasers opens new opportunities in ultrafast science, as it gives access, for the first time, to reproducible, programmable, extreme ultraviolet (XUV) waveforms with high intensity. In this work, we present a detailed analysis of the theoretical model underlying the temporal characterization of the attosecond pulse trains recently generated at the free-electron laser FERMI. In particular, the validity of the approximations used for the correlated analysis of the photoelectron spectra generated in the two-color photoionization experiments are thoroughly discussed. The ranges of validity of the assumptions, in connection with the main experimental parameters, are derived
