PROACTIVE IDENTITY PRE-SHARED KEY CACHE FOR WIRELESS CLIENTS AT WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK CONTROLLER OR ACCESS POINT

Techniques are described herein for downloading an Identity Pre-Shared Key (iPSK) passphrase to an Access Point (AP) before Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) is initiated. iPSK may be an individual PSK per client Media Access Control (MAC) address. This may help support Wi-Fi® Protected Access 3 (WPA3) SAE clients

OPTIMIZED PAIRWISE MASTER KEY IDENTIFIER BASED ROAMING FOR WI-FI PROTECTED ACCESS 3 SIMULTANEOUS AUTHENTICATION OF EQUALS WITH WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK CONTROLLER OR ACCESS POINT

Techniques are described herein for Wi-Fi® Protected Access 3 (WPA3) Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) client authentication and roaming. The validity of a session may be checked before attempting network association with a target Access Point (AP). This solution may avoid a delay in network connectivity when the previous session is invalid, thereby improving network connectivity for SAE based authentication when clients roam across APs

Assessment of membrane stabilizing activity from honey. an in-vitro approach

Aim. The present study was conducted to evaluate Manofl ora (MF), Polyfl ora (PF), Polyfl ora forest (PFf), and Processed (Pro) honey varieties to compare the in-vitro anti-infl ammatory effects of aqueous honey samples in dose dependent manner. In-vitro anti-infl ammatory activity was evaluated using membrane stabilization assay of RBCs at different aqueous honey concentrations. Material and method. The present investigation carried out for selected varieties of honey against erythrocytes exposed to both heat and hypotonic lyses and inhibition of membrane damage was compared to the standard drug acetylsalicylic acid. Results. Membrane damage was inhibited in both the model hemolysis of erythrocytes in vitro in a concentration dependent manner. Hypotonic solution inducing damage was inhibited by aqueous honey sample in ascending order ranged from 8.25 to 97.76 at 10 to 50 mg/ml and standard drug acetylsalicylic acid showing hemolysis protection 96.09 at 100 µg/ml concentration. In heat induced hemolysis model aqueous honey sample exhibited its protecting property during external stress condition in all samples ranged from 0.44 to 21.23 at 10 to 50 mg/ml and acetylsalicylic acid showed 39.38 at 100 µg/ml concentration. Among the variety PFf showed highest protecting nature for hypotonic solution induced lyses (97.76) and heat induced hemolysis (21.23) at 50 mg/ml respectively. Conclusion. With these investigations data conclude that the model exhibits marked anti-infl ammatory effect. Future research is to be carried out to identify the molecules responsible in honey and its mechanism involved

5-Methyl-3-phenylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid

In the title compound, C11H9NO3, the phenyl and isoxazole rings form a dihedral angle of 56.64 (8)°. The carboxy group is almost in the same plane as the isoxazole ring with a C—C—C—O torsion angle of −3.3 (2)°. In the crystal, pairs of O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into head-to-head dimers. C—H...N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between phenyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.9614 (17)Å] link the dimers into a three-dimensional network

Not AvailableField experiments were conducted in the farmers’ field at Gutthikatte village, Hosadurga taluk, Chitradurga district of Karnataka during 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the direct and residual effect of zinc and boron on yield and yield attributes of finger millet – groundnut cropping system in zinc and boron deficient soil. The finger millet was the test crop to study the direct effect and groundnut crop was raised to study the residual effect. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with fifteen treatments and replicated thrice. The pooled analysis revealed that significantly higher yield and yield attributes of finger millet and succeeding groundnut crops were recorded with the application of NPK (100:50:50 kg ha-1) + FYM (10 t ha-1) + ZnSO4 @ 15 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 12.5 kg ha-1 and residual effect of NPK + FYM + ZnSO4 @ 20 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 12.5 kg ha-1 compare to other treatments.Not Availabl

Acute pyelonephritis: A single-center experience

Acute pyelonephritis (APN), although a common clinical entity, still not much is known about the clinical profile in the Indian scenario. We prospectively collected clinical, biochemical, and radiological data of patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of APN from March 2014 to June 2016. A total of 296 cases were included in the study. Mean age was 53.85 ± 9.78 years. Male to females ratio was 1.93:1. Among the risk factors recognized for complicated pyelonephritis (PN), diabetes mellitus (DM) (54.4%) was the most common factor followed by renal calculi (14.4%), benign prostatic hyperplasia (6.7%), immunocompromised state (3.3%), stricture urethra and meatal stenosis (3.3%), and neurogenic bladder (2%). Urinary culture was negative in 153 (51.7%) and positive in 143 patient (48.3%). Most common organism isolated was Escherichia coli (29.7%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.4%), pseudomonas (5.4%), Enterococcus (4.4%), and Proteus in 10 (3.4%). Serum creatinine of more than 1.5 mg/dl at admission was seen in 96.3% patients; 40% of them had underlying chronic kidney disease with DM being the most common. Multiorgan dysfunction either at admission or during the course in hospital stay was seen in 31.8% patients. Twelve (2%) had emphysematous PN. Six patients had Class II, 4 had Class III, 1 with Class I, and another with Class IV. A total of 18 deaths were noted (6.1%). Hemoglobin 1.5 mg/dl, HbA1c% >10%, and immunosuppression had statistically significant association with the development of multiorgan dysfunction on univariate analysis, but on multivariate analysis, only hemoglobin, HbA1c%, and immunosuppression reached statistical significance. Even with attributable risk of mortality, only hemoglobin, HbA1c%, and immunosuppression reached statistical significance on multivariate analysis. HbA1c% adds to the predictive parameters to recognize at-risk patients to intensify the treatment and avoid complications
