Distributed Service Broker Policy Algorithm for Logistics over Cloud

Logistics information system focuses on flow of information with storage and services of goods supply from the origin point to consumption point of organization. Logistics information system makes this flow more efficient with the help of cloud. Cloud computing manages the logistics information system centrally. The centralized data center keeps the track of information distribution which creates network congestion and overloading on data center when various requests of users from different regions occur at same time. So, the data center needs to be maintained effectively for better performance. This paper presents the distributed service broker policy to implement centralized data center and proposes distributed data center for logistics information system over cloud. This paper also presents the result of distributed service broker policy algorithm to reduce network congestion, higher latency and cost due to large number of demand of particular service in distributed data center for logistics

The Impact of ICT on Financial Inclusion: Evidence from Global Sample

This study investigates the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on financial inclusion in a panel of 74 countries for a period of four years i.e., 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2021. We employ panel regression methods to estimate our model. Specifically, we used the fixed effects regression as a preliminary analysis. However, to mitigate the potential endogeneity concern in the model, we utilize the panel instrumental variable (IV) regression as our preferred estimation method. We find a positive and statistically significant impact of ICT index on financial inclusion. As a sensitivity analysis, we split the sample into two sub-groups – high-income and middle-income countries. Our results suggest that ICT is a significant determinant of financial inclusion in the sample countries. Specifically, internet penetration is a robust driver of financial inclusion in middle-income countries. The policymakers, particularly in middle-income countries, should focus on expanding the internet base to achieve higher financial inclusion

Anatomical variations in position of mandibular foramen : An East European morphometric study in dry adult human mandibles for achieving a successful inferior alveolar nerve block

Publisher Copyright: © 2019 Firenze University Press Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.In today’s era of modern dentistry, the race towards developing painless and trauma-less procedures remain an important goal of all major companies and dental researchers. One such technique of focus is the Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block (IANB) which remains by far the most common anesthetic technique followed worldwide prior to any submaxillary treatment procedure. Despite of it being so popular, the failure rates remain significantly high with estimates at 15-60% among dental practitioners and dental students alike. Major reasons for failure include inaccurate determination of Mandibular foramen, variations in location of foramen, presence of accessory foramen, etc. to name a few. The present article aims to present the morpho-anatomical variations in the position of Mandibular Foramen in East European population. For this reason, the distance of the foramen was measured from 5 different bony landmarks using digital Vernier caliper on dry human adult mandibles. Analyzing the results, the foramen was found to be positioned at a mean distance of 16.88 ± 2.43 mm on the right side and 17.33 ± 2.24 mm on the left side from the anterior border of the ramus. Similarly, it was found to be 12.31 ± 2.49 mm and 11.75 ± 2.47 mm on right and left sides respectively from posterior border of ramus. It was found to be 17.41 ± 3.22 mm and 18.01 ± 3.44 mm and 19.80 ± 3.86 mm and 20.11 ± 4.08 mm on right and left sides from mandibular notch and angle of mandible respectively.publishersversionPeer reviewe

Comparative study of voice print Based acoustic features: MFCC and LPCC

Voice is the best biometric feature for investigation and authentication. It has both biological and behavioural features. The acoustic features are related to the voice. The Speaker Recognition System is designed for the automatic authentication of speaker's identity which is truly based on the human's voice. Mel Frequency Cepstrum coefficient (MFCC) and Linear Prediction Cepstrum coefficient (LPCC) are taken in use for feature extraction from the provided voice sample. This paper provides a comparative study of MFCC and LPCC based on the accuracy of results and their working methodology. The results are better if MFCC is used for feature extraction

Who waits longest for a kidney? : Inequalities in access to kidney transplantation among Black and Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups in the UK

This version deposited with the permission of the publisher 6/15Black and Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups are over-represented on active kidney transplantation waiting lists and have relatively long waiting times. This inequality arises from a particularly high need for kidney transplantation combined with a low rate of deceased donation among BAME groups which limits the availability of a well-matched graft. This paper outlines the major barriers to both registration as a potential donor and family consent to donation. It then describes initiatives to increase donation and transplantation in terms of system changes, organisational changes and community interventions, and considers requirements for effective strategies.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio

Evaluation of TCSC Power flow control Capability

In an A.C Transmission system power flow can be controlled by injecting a compensating voltage in series with the line. Thyristor Controlled series compensators (TCSC) are utilized as a conventional means for the purpose. This paper utilizes the steady state model of Thyristor controlled series capacitor and a unified power flow controller for series voltage compensation, and evaluating their range of power flow control for simple network. The models are incorporated into the existing Newton Raphson load flow algorithm. The iterative equations of the Newton Raphson load flow algorithm are modified by the device parameters and the combined set of power flow equations and the TCSC control equations are solved for convergence of the formula. Matlab codes are utilized for the implementation of the devices in the Newton-Raphson algorithm. Power flow control ranges are evaluated for standard 5 bus system. Results are reported and studies are presented to illustrate the power flow capabilities of TCSC. Keywords: Converters, Control Strategy, MATLAB, Newton Raphson algorithm, Power flow, TCS

Antepartum posterior encephalopathy syndrome: a case study

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is increasingly being recognised as a clinic-neuro-radiological complication of eclampsia, with the availability of better imaging techniques. Preeclampsia and eclampsia continues to be one of the leading cause of both maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. PRES is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge when it develops in a case of preeclampsia. Reported here a case of 21 years old primi gravida, presenting in emergency OPD with 30 weeks pregnancy, history of seizures and in unconscious state. She was diagnosed to have PRES by imaging. PRES is associated with various clinical conditions i.e. hypertensive encephalopathy, renal failure, auto immune disorders and treatment with cytotoxic medication and presence with headache, encephalopathy, seizures, cortical visual disturbances or blindness. Early recognition of the condition with prompt management can prevent permanent neurological damage antihypertensive, control of seizures and anti-oedema measures are the main stay of the treatment as prompt control of BP will cause reversal of the syndrome. Clinical improvement with prompt resolution of the neurological deficit in the reported case highlights the importance of early suspicion, diagnosis and management of PRES in order to prevent short and long term neurological damage.

Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Vocal nodules (or Singer’s nodules) are benign vocal cord structures which are commonly encountered by clinicians. Though phonetic trauma/abuse is thought to be the main cause of the development of vocal nodules, the exact etiopathogenesis remains unknown. Hence, we compared the immunohistochemical markers for proliferation (Ki-67), apoptosis (TUNEL), growth (EGFR), ischemia (VEGF), inflammation (IL-1α and 10), and immunoreactive innervation (PGP 9.5), in vocal nodule tissue samples obtained from 10 females (17–56 years) and vocal cord tissue from seven controls. A statistically significant increase in Ki-67, TUNEL, EGFR, VEGF and IL-1α expression was noted (p 0.05). All markers demonstrated moderate to strong positive correlations, except for IL-10. These findings suggest increased cellular growth and proliferation in vocal nodules coupled with a persistent presence of inflammatory and ischemic environment. Furthermore, global prevalence of apoptotic cells and decreased anti-inflammatory cytokines highlight the presence of underlying complex mechanisms in the etiopathogenesis of vocal nodules, with age having a negligible impact on the marker levels. Our results could potentially further our knowledge in understanding the effects of different treatment modalities available at the cellular level.publishersversionPeer reviewe
