An Effective Private Data storage and Retrieval System using Secret sharing scheme based on Secure Multi-party Computation
Privacy of the outsourced data is one of the major challenge.Insecurity of
the network environment and untrustworthiness of the service providers are
obstacles of making the database as a service.Collection and storage of
personally identifiable information is a major privacy concern.On-line public
databases and resources pose a significant risk to user privacy, since a
malicious database owner may monitor user queries and infer useful information
about the customer.The challenge in data privacy is to share data with
third-party and at the same time securing the valuable information from
unauthorized access and use by third party.A Private Information Retrieval(PIR)
scheme allows a user to query database while hiding the identity of the data
retrieved.The naive solution for confidentiality is to encrypt data before
outsourcing.Query execution,key management and statistical inference are major
challenges in this case.The proposed system suggests a mechanism for secure
storage and retrieval of private data using the secret sharing technique.The
idea is to develop a mechanism to store private information with a highly
available storage provider which could be accessed from anywhere using queries
while hiding the actual data values from the storage provider.The private
information retrieval system is implemented using Secure Multi-party
Computation(SMC) technique which is based on secret sharing. Multi-party
Computation enable parties to compute some joint function over their private
inputs.The query results are obtained by performing a secure computation on the
shares owned by the different servers.Comment: Data Science & Engineering (ICDSE), 2014 International Conference,

Various Analytical Methods on Transmission Price Allocation in a Restructured Environment of Power Systems
In this competitive electricity markets the fixed costs of the transmission line should be allocated fairly because of reasonable pricing of the transmission line method could lead the existing transmission facilities and guiding future expansion and planning of the transmission line network. This paper presents various analytical methods on transmission price allocation. This paper is a literature review conducted from several papers including the different cost allocation methods evaluation of real and reactive power flows and characteristics of every method is analyzed
A study of comparitive analysis of the outcome of Hardinge’s and Moore’s approach of hemi arthroplasty of hip
Background: The posterior (Moore) approach is generally considered to be easy to perform and has less tissue dissection, which leads to shorter operation times and less blood loss. The lateral (Hardinge) approach can provide generous exposure of the acetabulum, which facilitates cup positioning results may decrease rates of hip dislocation.Methods: In this study a prospective comparative study of outcome of Hardinge’s vs. Moore’s approach in hemi arthroplasty of hip done on 60 consecutive consenting cases who presented with a primary diagnosis of neck of femur fractures. The Selection of patients was randomized by selecting every alternate case of neck of femur fractures by Moore’s approach or Hardinge’s approach. Study recruited 30 cases in each group after the preoperative parameters like age, sex, side, mechanism of injury and the type of fracture.Results: 30 cases underwent hemi - arthroplasty of hip by Hardinge’s approach vs. Moore’s technique and we found that there was difference in duration of hospital stay, the duration of healing and the rate of complications were much higher in the Moore’s technique. In our study there was no mortality. Conclusions: Based on the findings of our study we recommend that between Hardinge’s and Moore’s approach, Hardinge’s approach is recommended as better than Moore’s approach due to number of complications is lower in Hardinge’s
Image Segmentation and Morphological Process of Skin Dermis for Diagnosis in Anthropoid
Mammals and plants are affected by skin diseases due to infection of known and unknown bacteria or virus. These type of disease occurred in many forms in the skin and produce irritable sensations in the human or animal�s body. There is need to diagnosis of skin infections and provide control measures are the important to the society. This paper focus towards different image processing techniques used for predicting various skin problems. Image processing techniques like segmentation, image pre-processing, edge detection and morphology are part of process for diagnosis of skin disease and are used to illustrate the part exaggerated by disease, the form of affected area. The segmentation performance is considered with dissimilar well known procedures and the consequences are significant. Morphology is used along with their combination for the detecting using the extracted features.These techniques are carried out with an experiment by using MATLAB software. The obtained results are promising
Certain subclasses of analytic function by Sălăgean q-differential operator
The theory of q-analysis has many applications in various sub-fields of mathematics and quantum physics. In the present article, we define the class Tn(α, λ; q) using the Sălăgean q-differential operator. For functions belonging to this class we obtain coefficient estimates, extreme points and integral preserving properties.Publisher's Versio
Study of perinatal outcomes in normal and borderline oligamnios
Background: Oligamnios is a common cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, but the outcome of borderline oligamnios, defined as Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) between 5 and 8, is less clear. This study aims to find out the effect of borderline oligamnios on perinatal outcomes in pregnancies beyond 37 weeks.Methods: An observational prospective study of 131 antenatal mothers with AFI between 5 and 8, after 37 weeks of gestation was conducted in Sree Gokulam Medical College and Research Foundation from October 2017 to September 2019. These observations were compared with that of 131 antenatal mothers with normal AFI beyond 37 weeks of gestation. The observations according to fetal heart rate abnormalities, meconium staining of amniotic fluid, mode of delivery, low birth weight babies, APGAR score, the need of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions due to neonatal complications were statistically analysed.Results: Both groups were comparable with respect to age, parity and gestational age. In those with borderline oligamnios, fetal heart rate abnormality was seen in 21% (28), meconium stained amniotic fluid in 18% (23), 70% (91) delivered vaginally and 30% (40) underwent caesarean section, 31% (41) babies weighed below 2.5 kg and 21% (27) neonates needed NICU admissions. In those with normal AFI, none showed fetal heart rate abnormality, 2% (3) showed meconium staining, 93% (122) delivered vaginally and 7% (9) underwent caesarean section, 11% (14) babies weighed below 2.5 kg and 3% (4) neonates needed NICU admissions.Conclusions: Borderline oligamnios is associated with poor perinatal outcome. AFI can be used as an adjunct to other fetal surveillance methods. It helps to identify those infants at risk of poor perinatal outcome
