Double orifice mitral valve associated with Ventricular Septal Defect in an infant : case report

Double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by a mitral valve with a single fibrous annulus with two orifices opening into the left ventricle. Here we present a rare case of DOMV with ventricular septal defect (VSD) which was detected by 2-D echocardiography.peer-reviewe

Artificial Neural Network to predict mean monthly total ozone in Arosa, Switzerland

Present study deals with the mean monthly total ozone time series over Arosa, Switzerland. The study period is 1932-1971. First of all, the total ozone time series has been identified as a complex system and then Artificial Neural Networks models in the form of Multilayer Perceptron with back propagation learning have been developed. The models are Single-hidden-layer and Two-hidden-layer Perceptrons with sigmoid activation function. After sequential learning with learning rate 0.9 the peak total ozone period (February-May) concentrations of mean monthly total ozone have been predicted by the two neural net models. After training and validation, both of the models are found skillful. But, Two-hidden-layer Perceptron is found to be more adroit in predicting the mean monthly total ozone concentrations over the aforesaid period.Comment: 22 pages, 14 figure

Multiple stimuli responsive cyclodextrin based smart materials for drug delivery: a review

In this review we discuss about the research advances in multiple stimuli responsive cyclodextrin (CD) based smart materials. CD based systems which are responsive to temperature, pH, enzymes, light, redox etc. along with various applications of these systems in the biomedical area are extensively covered. Current challenges and future perspectives of these smart stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems are also discussed
