    In this paper, we presented the mass spectra of the doubly heavy Ω\Omega baryons containing one light (strange) quark and two heavy (charm and bottom) quarks. Our predicted masses can be consider to determine the JpJ^p value for the resonances detected by experimental facilities in future. The masses of ground excited states (1S-6S, 1P-3P, 1D-2D, 1F-2F) are calculated for all possible JpJ^p values, using the Hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM), by employing screened potential as confining potential with color-Coloumb potential. Regge trajectories are also plotted in (J,M2)(J, M^2) plane for natural and unnatural parities. Doubly heavy Omega states are not declared yet by any experimental facility. We compared our results to the predictions gained from other theoretical approaches, and we found that our predictions are quite close to those of them. Other properties such as magnetic moment (for spin state 12\frac{1}{2} and 32\frac{3}{2}) and radiative decay width are calculated using the enuerated masses.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, 6 table

    Present study was designed to evaluate the effect of Valsartan on renal marker, nitrite and histopathology of kidney in Ischemia/reperfusion induced renal damage in diabetic rats. Ischemia/reperfusion injury, which is commonly seen in the field of renal surgery or transplantation in diabetic condition, is a major cause of acute renal failure. Type 2 Diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p) injection of Streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, STZ) in overnight fasting rats followed by the i.p administration of Nicotinamide (110 mg/kg, NIC) after 15 minutes. After right nephrectomy, Valsartan (8 mg/kg/day, p.o) was administered for 15 days. On the 16th day, ischemia was induced in contra lateral kidney for 45 min, followed by reperfusion for 24 hr. Renal function marker and histopathology were estimated at the end of 24 hr reperfusion. At the end of experimental period the level of nitrite in kidney tissue, serum marker Albumin and Blood urea nitrogen were significantly changed. Valsartan improved the renal dysfunction and nitrite after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in diabetic rats. Light microscopic evaluation of the kidneys of the diabetic rats with I/R only showed tubular cell swelling, interstitial edema, tubular dilatation, and moderate to severe necrosis, whereas, Valsartan improve tubular dilation, loss of interstitial hemorrhage, and glomerular atrophy. In conclusion, Valsartan as a beneficial agent on renal marker, nitrite and histopathology of kidney in Ischemia/reperfusion induced renal damage in diabetic rats. -------------------------------------------------------------------Pharmacology Department, Dharmaj Degree Pharmacy College, Petlad-Khambhat Road, Dharmaj, Anand-388430, Gujarat, India*Corresponding author, Email: [email protected], Tel: +919825882522 Cite This Article As: Jagdish Kakadiya, Nehal Shah. 2010.

    Contextual bandits algorithms have become essential in real-world user interaction problems in recent years. However, these algorithms rely on context as attribute value representation, which makes them unfeasible for real-world domains like social networks are inherently relational. We propose Relational Boosted Bandits(RB2), acontextual bandits algorithm for relational domains based on (relational) boosted trees. RB2 enables us to learn interpretable and explainable models due to the more descriptive nature of the relational representation. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness and interpretability of RB2 on tasks such as link prediction, relational classification, and recommendations.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

    A comparative study of the management of pediatric femoral shaft fractures treated conservatively with traction or spica casting

    Background: Femoral shaft fractures, though not very common, are of major concern for orthopedic surgeons. the management for infants and older children is generally universal but the young patients still offer a management dilemma.Methods: We present a prospective study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in India of 37 children between 1 year and 6 years to compare the two conservative methods most commonly used i.e. spica casting and traction application.Results: We found that though both the methods are similar in the time for union, shortening was better controlled with traction and angulation with spica casting. The frequency of other complications was also comparable.Conclusions: Both the methods give acceptable results and given the feasibility of such procedures in developing countries, both may be recommended. However, the choice thus depends on the surgeon treating the patient keeping in mind the drawbacks and limitations of each

    Multi Focus Image Fusion Techniques

    The single image required high spectral information and high quality for human visual perception but sensor or instrument may be not capable to provide our demand. We solved this problem using fusion process. Multi focus image fusion is a process of combining information of two or more images which capture at different direction or different angle of same scene and resultant quality of image is higher than the input image. The main goal of this paper is to implement the various method such as pixel level fusion (simple average, simple minimum, simple maximum), Discrete Wavelet transform based fusion, Principal component analysis (PCA) , Laplacian Pyramid fusion and to determine which method provide better result for human visual perception.

    Present study was designed to evaluate in effect of Hesperidine on renal complication in Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced renal damage in Sprague dawley diabetic rats. Hyperglycaemia is most probably a contributing factor in the development of ischaemic acute renal failure (ARF) in many patients. Both clinical and experimental data suggest that hyperglycaemia increases the risk of ARF. Type 2 Diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p) injection of Streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, STZ) in overnight fasting rats followed by the i.p administration of Nicotinamide (110 mg/kg, NIC) after 15 minutes. After right nephrectomy, Hesperidine (100 mg/kg/day, p.o) was administered for 15 days. On the 16th day, ischemia was induced in contra lateral kidney for 45 min, followed by reperfusion for 24 hr. Renal function marker and oxidative parameter were estimated at the end of 24 hr reperfusion. At the end of experimental period the level of malondialdehyde formation/ lipid peroxidation (LPO) in kidney tissue and serum marker Creatinine, Urea and Uric acids were significantly increased. Whereas, the activity of biomarkers of oxidative stress such as reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were found to be decreased significantly compared to control rats. Hesperidine improved the renal dysfunction and oxidative stress after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in diabetic rats. In conclusion, Hesperidine shows potent may improve renal complication in I/R induced renal damage in type 2 diabetic rats.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pharmacology Department, Dharmaj Degree Pharmacy College, Petlad-Khambhat Road, Dharmaj, Anand-388430, Gujarat, India*Corresponding author, Email: [email protected]; Tel: +919825882522Cite This Article As: Jagdish Kakadiya, Divyang Patel, Nehal Shah. 2010.

    Retrospective analysis of minimal invasive plating versus intramedullary nailing for the treatment of extra-articular distal tibia fracture

    Get PDF
    Background: The volume of cases of distal tibia fractures at the trauma care centre are quite high in the Indian scenario. This type of fracture often creates a dilemma for the orthopaedic surgeons over the choice of the implant for the management. The aim of our study was to compare intramedullary interlocking nail (IMILN) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) based on various parameters.Methods: We collected data of 40 patients with extra-articular distal tibial fractures (within 2 muller square from tibial plafond). Patients were divided into two groups: IMILN and MIPPO. We compared the 2 groups for demographic variables, union time, complication rate and functional score.Results: There was no statistical difference in union time, complication rate, functional outcome and other demographic variables among the groups. Only 2 patients developed non-union and two patients had an infection. Overall 38 patients obtained excellent or good results (95%) and two patient had fair outcomes (5%).Conclusions: The overall analysis suggested that both MIPPO and IMILN treatment options are comparable with consideration of all the parameters. Detailed results indicate a superiority of MIPPO over IMILN in terms of better anatomical reductions of the fracture with less incidence of malalignment while IMILN is better in terms of having lower rates of infections
