Higher partial wave energy dependent and independent two-nucleon interactions via supersymmetry formalism
Within the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics both energy-dependent and independent two-nucleon potentials for the D-wave are constructed from their respective ground state interactions. These potentials in turn are used to compute nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts to judge their merits. Energy-dependent potential is found to be more effective than its energy independent counterpart except in the very low energy range
Classification of skin disease using deep learning neural networks with mobilenet V2 and LSTM
Deep learning models are efficient in learning the features that assist in understanding complex patterns precisely. This study proposed a computerized process of classifying skin disease through deep learning-based MobileNet V2 and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). The MobileNet V2 model proved to be efficient with a better accuracy that can work on lightweight computational devices. The proposed model is efficient in maintaining stateful information for precise predictions. A grey-level co-occurrence matrix is used for assessing the progress of diseased growth. The performance has been compared against other state-of-the-art models such as Fine-Tuned Neural Networks (FTNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition developed by Visual Geometry Group (VGG), and convolutional neural network architecture that expanded with few changes. The HAM10000 dataset is used and the proposed method has outperformed other methods with more than 85% accuracy. Its robustness in recognizing the affected region much faster with almost 2x lesser computations than the conven-tional MobileNet model results in minimal computational efforts. Furthermore, a mobile application is designed for instant and proper action. It helps the patient and dermatologists identify the type of disease from the affected region’s image at the initial stage of the skin disease. These findings suggest that the proposed system can help general practitioners efficiently and effectively diagnose skin conditions, thereby reducing further complications and morbidity
Data Hiding using Emoticons
In 21st century Digital communication has become a very essential part of day to day life of every human. It has continuously evolved over the year. It has made communication easier. People can communicate anywhere and anytime large amount of data is transmitted every day, every second. Here data security comes into picture. Each and every individual want their data to be secure and doesn’t want it to be used in an unauthorized way. There are various techniques to provide data security such as cryptography and steganography. Cryptography is the science of encompassing the principles and methods of transforming a plain text message into one that is unintelligible and then, that message back to its original form. Steganography is the art and science of hiding information by embedding messages into other messages. Steganography means “Covered Writing” in Greek. Both the techniques have their own limitations; to overcome those limitations, here in this paper, we are combining both the techniques to enhance data security
Linear magnetoresistance in commercial n-type silicon due to inhomogeneous doping
Free electron theory tells us that resistivity is independent of magnetic
field. In fact, most observations match the semiclassical prediction of a
magnetoresistance that is quadratic at low fields before saturating. However, a
non-saturating linear magnetoresistance has been observed in exotic
semiconductors such as silver chalcogenides, lightly-doped InSb, N-doped InAs,
MnAs-GaAs composites, PrFeAsO, and epitaxial graphene. Here we report the
observation of a large linear magnetoresistance in the ohmic regime in
commonplace commercial n-type silicon wafer. It is well-described by a
classical model of spatially fluctuating donor densities, and may be amplified
by altering the aspect ratio of the sample to enhance current-jetting:
increasing the width tenfold increased the magnetoresistance at 8 T from 445 %
to 4707 % at 35 K. This physical picture may well offer insights into the large
magnetoresistances recently observed in n-type and p-type Si in the non-ohmic
regime.Comment: submitted to Nature Material
Advancing research on emergency care systems in low-income and middle-income countries: ensuring high-quality care delivery systems
Emergency care systems (ECS) address a wide range of acute conditions, including emergent conditions from communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, pregnancy and injury. Together, ECS represent an area of great potential for reducing morbidity and mortality in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is estimated that up to 54% of annual deaths in LMICs could be addressed by improved prehospital and facility-based emergency care. Research is needed to identify strategies for enhancing ECS to optimise prevention and treatment of conditions presenting in this context, yet significant gaps persist in defining critical research questions for ECS studies in LMICs. The Collaborative on Enhancing Emergency Care Research in LMICs seeks to promote research that improves immediate and long-term outcomes for clients and populations with emergent conditions. The objective of this paper is to describe systems approaches and research strategies for ECS in LMICs, elucidate priority research questions and methodology, and present a selection of studies addressing the operational, implementation, policy and health systems domains of health systems research as an approach to studying ECS. Finally, we briefly discuss limitations and the next steps in developing ECS-oriented interventions and research
Synthesis, docking study and biological evaluation of novel N-(1,3-benzothiazole-2-yl)-2-(pyridine-3-ylformohydrazido) acetamide derivatives
1721-1737A series of N-(1,3-benzothiazole-2-yl)-2(pyridine-3-ylformohydrazido acetamide derivatives have been synthesized by facile and efficient conventional method. The structures of the compounds have been elucidated with the aid of elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS, and 1H and 13C NMR spectral data. Molecular docking revealed that synthesized derivatives and target proteins are actively involved in the binding pattern and had a significant correlation with biological activity. Molecular dynamics studies have also been performed and ADME parameters for the synthesized compounds determined. Biological evaluation of all synthesized compounds have been carried out in vitro for their antibacterial, antituberculosis and antifungal efficacy against various bacterial and fungal strains and H37Rv. The different studies indicate that newly synthesized compounds possess moderate to good biological activities
High - Temperature Superconductivity in Iron Based Layered Compounds
We present a review of basic experimental facts on the new class of high -
temperature superconductors - iron based layered compounds like REOFeAs
(RE=La,Ce,Nd,Pr,Sm...), AFe_2As_2 (A=Ba,Sr...), AFeAs (A=Li,...) and FeSe(Te).
We discuss electronic structure, including the role of correlations, spectrum
and role of collective excitations (phonons, spin waves), as well as the main
models, describing possible types of magnetic ordering and Cooper pairing in
these compounds.Comment: 43 pages, 30 figures, review talk on 90th anniversary of Physics

Physical property characterization of single step synthesized NdFeAsO0.80F0.20 bulk 50K superconductor
We report an easy single step synthesis route of title compound
NdFeAsO0.80F0.20 superconductor having bulk superconductivity below 50 K. The
title compound is synthesized via solid-state reaction route by encapsulation
in an evacuated (10-3 Torr) quartz tube. Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray
diffraction data shows that compound crystallized in tetragonal structure with
space group P4/nmm. R(T)H measurements showed superconductivity with Tc (R=0)
at 48 K and a very high upper critical field (Hc2) of up to 345 Tesla. Magnetic
measurements exhibited bulk superconductivity in terms of diamagnetic onset
below 50 K. The lower critical field (Hc1) is around 1000 Oe at 5 K. In normal
state i.e., above 60 K, the compound exhibited purely paramagnetic behavior and
thus ruling out the presence of any ordered FeOx impurity in the matrix. In
specific heat measurements a jump is observed in the vicinity of
superconducting transition (Tc) along with an upturn at below T=4 K due to the
AFM ordering of Nd+3 ions in the system. The Thermo-electric power (TEP) is
negative down to Tc, thus indicating dominant carriers to be of n-type in
NdFeAsO0.80F0.20 superconductor. The granularity of the bulk superconducting
NdFeAsO0.8F0.2 sample is investigated and the intra and inter grain
contributions have been individuated by looking at various amplitude and
frequencies of the applied AC drive magnetic field.Comment: 26pages text + Figures: comments/suggestions welcome

Physical and mental health comorbidities of epilepsy:population-based cross-sectional analysis of 1.5 million people in Scotland
Purpose:
To measure the prevalence of physical and mental health comorbidities in people with epilepsy in a large population cohort, and to examine the prevalence of depression accounting for other physical comorbidity.
Methods:
Population-based, cross-sectional descriptive epidemiology analysis of primary care electronic records for 1,510,742 people aged 14+ years, examining the prevalence of 39 comorbidities.
Results:
12,720 people with epilepsy were identified (prevalence 8.4/1000 population, 95% CI 8.3–8.5). Physical and mental health comorbidity was more common with epilepsy (mean of an additional 1.02 physical conditions difference, 95% CI 0.99–1.06). 69.9% of people with epilepsy had one or more comorbid health conditions and 18.6% had four or more, compared to 46.9% and 9.0% of people without epilepsy. Depression was present in 16.3% of people with epilepsy compared to 9.5% of those without (adjusted OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.49–1.65). The prevalence of comorbid depression in epilepsy increased as the number of physical comorbidities increased (OR 5.82, 95% CI 4.90–6.91 for 4+ physical comorbidities vs none) and with increasing deprivation, similar to the patterns observed in other common physical conditions.
Conclusion:
People with epilepsy have higher rates of both physical and mental health comorbidity than people without even after adjustment for age, gender and levels of deprivation. Depression is more common than in the general population but the prevalence is similar to other physical health conditions, and is strongly associated with the total burden of physical conditions. This study highlights the complexity in caring for people with epilepsy
Growth of high quality yttrium iron garnet films using standard pulsed laser deposition technique
Thin films with properties comparable to bulk single crystals were grown by pulsed laser deposition using a substrate temperature of only 500 °C. This was achieved by a careful choice of both the oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber and the temperature of the air anneal. The best films were grown on gadolinium gallium garnet substrates but we also report data for films grown on the diamagnetic substrate yttrium aluminium garnet. The films were analysed using X-ray diffraction, near edge X-ray absorption and magnetometry. Our best films had a magnetisation of 143 emu/cm 3 and a coercive field of ~1 Oe
