CLINICAL STUDY ON EFFECT OF DIFFERENT METHODS OF SHIRODHARA IN PATIENTS OF INSOMNIA
Background: Insomnia has a great impact on social, occupational and other functioning areas of the individual. The modern medical science is still not having a definitive and effective treatment for this disease. Shirodhara is considered as the highly effective treatment for this condition. Most practitioners practising oscillatory method of Shirodhara, Some advises to do single point Shirodhara. Interestingly there is no research has been done on this topic to find out which method is best and standard. Aims: To compare the efficacy of single point drip method Jaladhara and Oscillatory drip method Jaladhara in Nidranasha. Methods and Materials: Study was conducted in 30 diagnosed patient of Nidranasha with the help of symptoms of nidranasha and Athens insomnia scale. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. i.e., Group A and Group B to compare the effect of Single point drip method and oscillatory drip method in Insomnia. Results: Group B (Oscillatory drip method Shirodhara) compared to Group A (Single point drip method Shirodhara) provided better relief clinically in subjective parameters Total sleep duration (48.3%), overall quality of sleep (48.3%) and Statistically provided moderately significant improvement in Functioning (physical and mental) and highly significant improvement in systolic blood pressure. Conclusion: Oscillatory drip method Shirodhara compared to Single point drip method Shirodhara provided better relief clinically and statistically
Survival in equilibrium step fluctuations
We report the results of analytic and numerical investigations of the time
scale of survival or non-zero-crossing probability in equilibrium step
fluctuations described by Langevin equations appropriate for
attachment/detachment and edge-diffusion limited kinetics. An exact relation
between long-time behaviors of the survival probability and the autocorrelation
function is established and numerically verified. is shown to exhibit
simple scaling behavior as a function of system size and sampling time. Our
theoretical results are in agreement with those obtained from an analysis of
experimental dynamical STM data on step fluctuations on Al/Si(111) and Ag(111)
surfaces.Comment: RevTeX, 4 pages, 3 figure
Transactional failure recovery for a distributed key-value store
With the advent of cloud computing, many applications have embraced the ensuing paradigm shift towards modern distributed key-value data stores, like HBase, in order to benefit from the elastic scalability on offer. However, many applications still hesitate to make the leap from the traditional relational database model simply because they cannot compromise on the standard transactional guarantees of atomicity, isolation, and durability. To get the best of both worlds, one option is to integrate an independent transaction management component with a distributed key-value store. In this paper, we discuss the implications of this approach for durability. In particular, if the transaction manager provides durability (e.g., through logging), then we can relax durability constraints in the key-value store. However, if a component fails (e.g., a client or a key-value server), then we need a coordinated recovery procedure to ensure that commits are persisted correctly. In our research, we integrate an independent transaction manager with HBase. Our main contribution is a failure recovery middleware for the integrated system, which tracks the progress of each commit as it is flushed down by the client and persisted within HBase, so that we can recover reliably from failures. During recovery, commits that were interrupted by the failure are replayed from the transaction management log. Importantly, the recovery process does not interrupt transaction processing on the available servers. Using a benchmark, we evaluate the impact of component failure, and subsequent recovery, on application performance
Low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of highly excited quantum wires
Optical spectra of highly excited quantum wires at low temperatures have been
studied within the dynamically screening approximation. We found a strong
Fermi-edge singularity (FES) in the photoluminescence spectra. The spectral
shape and FES intensity strongly depend on temperature in agreement with recent
experimental results
Greybody Factors of Charged Dilaton Black Holes in 2 + 1 Dimensions
We have studied scalar perturbations of charged dilaton black holes in 2+1
dimensions. The black hole considered here is a solution to the low-energy
string theory in 2+1 dimensions. The exact decay rates and the grey body
factors for the massless minimally coupled scalar is computed for both the
charged and the uncharged dilaton black holes. The charged and the uncharged
black hole show similar behavior for grey body factors, reflection coefficients
and decay rates.Comment: The equation for the potential and figure:1 are changed. The changes
does not effect the result
Dynamical Behavior of the BTZ Black Hole
We study the dynamical behavior of the BTZ (Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli) black
hole with the low-energy string effective action. The perturbation analysis
around the BTZ black hole reveals a mixing between the dilaton and other
fields. Introducing the new gauge (dilaton gauge), we disentangle this mixing
completely and obtain one decoupled dilaton equation. We obtain the decay rate
of BTZ black hole.Comment: minor typhographical corrections, ReVTeX, 9 pages with no figure
Non-perturbative equivalences among large N gauge theories with adjoint and bifundamental matter fields
We prove an equivalence, in the large N limit, between certain U(N) gauge
theories containing adjoint representation matter fields and their orbifold
projections. Lattice regularization is used to provide a non-perturbative
definition of these theories; our proof applies in the strong coupling, large
mass phase of the theories. Equivalence is demonstrated by constructing and
comparing the loop equations for a parent theory and its orbifold projections.
Loop equations for both expectation values of single-trace observables, and for
connected correlators of such observables, are considered; hence the
demonstrated non-perturbative equivalence applies to the large N limits of both
string tensions and particle spectra.Comment: 40 pages, JHEP styl
Liquid-gas phase transition and Coulomb instability of asymmetric nuclear systems
We use a chiral SU(3) quark mean field model to study the properties of
nuclear systems at finite temperature. The liquid-gas phase transition of
symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter is discussed. For two formulations of
the model the critical temperature, , for symmetric nuclear matter is
found to be 15.8 MeV and 17.9 MeV. These values are consistent with those
derived from recent experiments. The limiting temperatures for finite nuclei
are in good agreement with the experimental points.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
