Virtues in Marutathinai Hymns

Philosophical thoughts are rich in Palantami literature. Virtue is the beginning of everything. Following good deeds in life helps a man to get more wealth and good health. Everything in life should be based on virtue. Virtue is the foremost when compared with love, wealth and home. The moral values and good deeds that are to be followed by the people are described in the Sangam literary texts. The ancient Tamil people believed that being a moral thinker is necessary. Sangam literary works conveys the idea that pleasure is obtained by doing virtue. Ancient Tamils considered the household as an ideal setting for virtue, by providing good surrounding and hospitality to the guests. All these things are explained well in Maruthathinai hymns

A Survey of Virtual Machine Placement Techniques and VM Selection Policies in Cloud Datacenter

The large scale virtualized data centers have been established due to the requirement of rapid growth in computational power driven by cloud computing model . The high energy consumption of such data centers is becoming more and more serious problem .In order to reduce the energy consumption, server consolidation techniques are used .But aggressive consolidation of VMs can lead to performance degradation. Hence another problem arise that is, the Service Level Agreement(SLA) violation. The optimized consolidation is achieved through optimized VM placement and VM selection policies . A comparative study of virtual machine placement and VM selection policies are presented in this paper for improving the energy efficiency

Evaluating the growth potential of Vigna radiata (green gram) using Albizia amara (AA) and Leucaena leucocephala (LL) as a phytoremediator for textile dye (Navy blue dye) simulated soil

 Soil pollution due to textile dye affects the soil fertility, is a cause for demand crop production in agriculture. The present investigation was to evaluate the growth level of Vigna radiata (green gram) before and after simulation of dye in soil. Germination, biometric evaluation (root length, leaf area, shoot length and plant height) and biochemical activity (Total protein, amino acids, DNA, total carbohydrate and amylase activity) were analyzed. All the process carried out with 1% concentration of dye to assess remediating capacity of plant biomass Albizia amara (AA) and Leucaena leucocephala (LL). Use of these adsorbents as phytoremediator could enhance the binding capacity of blue dye to a great extent shows the phytotoxicity of dye upto 1% in soil

Use and satisfaction of complementary and alternative medicine among diabetic patients in a tertiary care hospital

Background: Diabetes is a chronic disorder which requires long-term treatment. Non- adherence to treatment is a major factor responsible for morbidities and mortalities associated with diabetes. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use has been one of the reasons for discontinuation of treatment. This study was conducted to assess the extent to which CAM and non-CAM users adhere to medical treatment.Methods: 200 patients attending the diabetic clinic over a period of 2 months participated in the study. After obtaining written informed consent, they were administered a CAM use and satisfaction questionnaire (TSQM) based on effectiveness, no side-effects, convenience and global satisfaction.Results: Out of 200 participants, 29% (58) used CAM. Naturopathy was the most commonly followed type of CAM (60 %; 35). Residing in the rural areas (OR-3.7), Socio- economic status above poverty line (OR- 9), diabetics with co- morbidities (OR- 6) and microvascular complications (OR-6) and using insulin (OR-3) was found to be the predictors of CAM use. However, the incidence of hypoglycemic episodes was 52 times higher among CAM users. (91%; 52) of the CAM users did not reveal the use to their physicians, out of which (70%; 40) did not disclose due to the fear of discouragement by the doctor. CAM was found to be better in all aspects of patient satisfaction like effectiveness, no- side-effects and global satisfaction than conventional medicine while conventional medicine users scored it to be more convenient to use than CAM.Conclusions: Doctors should enquire diabetics regarding CAM use since the voluntary disclosure is very less. Keeping lines of communication open for any discussions regarding pros and cons of CAM. Increasing patient awareness about potential drug interactions, when CAM is practised along with conventional medicine

Design and development of certification compliance tool for airborne systems.

Certification compliance check for airborne software is very critical as it aids in the certification of the software. Since this compliance check is performed manually which is time-consuming and erroneous, an in-house developed Certification Compliance Tool (CCT) helps in checking the compliance as per RTCA DO-178B/C and generate artifacts depicting the magnitude of compliance. In order to generate the magnitude of compliance for the artifacts with respect to the Civil Aerospace Certification standard, RTCA DO-178B/C, an effective parsing technique is required to be incorporated to parse the artifact/s and generate compliance metric for the artifact/s. In this paper we propose a novel approach used in the design and development of an effective and efficient parsing technique incorporated in the indigenous software tool CCT used for compliance check. The tool checks the ratio of compliance of the artifacts generated across various phases of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process involved in the development of Safety-Critical software as per RTCA DO-178B/C. The indigenous tool accepts these artifacts as inputs and based on the software criticality level, it analyzes the compliance of these artifacts with the guidelines provided and recommended by RTCA DO-178B/C. The output of the tool provides the percentage of compliance of the artifacts that helps in accessing the Certification capabilities of the developed software. The percentage of compliance predicts the acceptance or rejection probabilities of the software being certified by the Certification Agency. The certification parser is developed using Python modules like Pywin32, Pypdf parsers and different approaches for Natural language processing using Python Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK). The in-house tool replaces the manual effort by an individual/s which may be erroneous and impact the time-schedule, which compromises the software safety. The integration of the tool with commercial tools will help in analyzing the report/ documentation content with respect to the certification
