Analytical solution of MHD free convective flow of couple stress fluid in an annulus with Hall and ion-slip effects

This paper presents the Hall and Ion-slip effects on electrically conducting couple stress fluid flow between two circular cylinders in the presence of a temperature dependent heat source. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the magnetic parameter, Hall parameter, Ion-slip parameter and couple stress fluid parameter on velocity and  temperature are discussed and shown graphically

Knowledge sharing among Research scholars leveraging Academic Social Networking Sites for the purpose of Research Collaboration: a study

The key objective of this study is to investigate the awareness of research scholars towards Academic Social Networking Sites (ASNSs) like Academia.edu, Research Gate, Pen profile, LinkedIn, Google Scholar, etc. These sites opened a window for research scholars to know each other by setting up their interest profiles, uploading their scholarly works, and current trends in the subject area, precisely ASNSs paved the way for communication among research scholars in engineering and technology in particularly Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Kakinada (JNTUK). The author adopted a survey method using a simple indiscriminate sampling technique on a structured questionnaire to the research scholars randomly. In this study, the author specialized on two facets (further adopted two-dimensional methods) one is Research collaboration (RC) and Knowledge sharing (KS). This study helps universities in finding out various academic activities of its scholars in particular as well as the university in general

A study of mediastinal tumours in a tertiary care centre: a retrospective study

Background: Recent advances in diagnostic and surgical techniques have brought major changes in the clinical presentation, diagnosis and the surgical management of mediastinal masses. Indian literature in this scenario is deficient, which our retrospective descriptive study aims to address.Methods: Details of patients operated for mediastinal masses from January 2007 November 2013 in two units at NIMS were collected. Clinical presentation, symptomatology, radiological/pathological findings, surgical approaches, intraoperative/immediate/intermediate post-operative results were evaluated and analysed.Results: Of the 75 patients, (48 males, range 10 years to 65 years) 2 deaths were due to complications following exacerbation of myasthenia gravis, and two patients died due to post-operative bleeding. Thymicneoplasms were the most common, followed by neurogenic tumours. Most common presentation was myasthenia gravis, followed by nonspecific back pain. 4% of patients had symptoms due to local compressive effects. Tumour was in the anterior mediastinum, middle and posterior mediastinum in 53, 16 and 6 cases respectively. Surgery done with a curative intent was through sternotomy (59), posterolateral thoracotomy (14), and combined sternotomy and cervical route (2). Residual tumour was present in 5 cases due to nerve involvement. Follow up was 98% (2 months to 6 years). 3 patients died of unrelated causes and one developed multiple lung metastases. 2 patients with neurogenic tumours developed recurrence.Conclusions: Inadequately optimized myasthenia patients and superior vena cava obstruction are poor prognostic factors. Complete excision may not be possible in neurogenic extension to spine even with concomitant neurosurgery. Neurological infiltration has a poorer prognosis

A Novel Information Extraction Approach Employing Hierarchical Clustering Techniques with A Focus on Attribute Similarity Values

Data mining technique developed in vast manner. It mainly used over in information retrieval, information filtering, Data retrieval techniques. In scientific world data mining techniques used over in hospital management, Schools, colleges, public libraries, shopping complexes, space research foundation. Data Mining refers to extracting the information. Many Algorithms are used over in Data mining area. Agglomerative hierarchical technique uses top down approach. Certain arrangements are made over in this algorithm in hierarchical manner. Hierarchical algorithm mainly used for time consuming process

MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS SUPPORTING PROBIOTIC ACTION TOWARDS DRUG TARGETS

Streptococcus thermophilus is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe with probiotic action. Nearly 2070 genes arepredicted in complete genome out of which 566 genes are related to hypothetical and uncharacterized genes. Thepredicted gene percent obtained by characterization of complete genome of S.thermophilus is 72.67% with 25functional categories. There is high number of transport, protein synthesis, binding and cell envelop proteins thatdon’t have pathogen responses. The genes ptsK, glgP, malQ, lacZ, amyL, scrB, etc are related to energy metabolism(with biodegradation and synthesis of polysaccharides) are found in chromosome CNRZ 1066. The genes such asglgP, malQ, lacZ and amyl had shown direct interactions that has not found direct link with scrB gene. All theproteins are observed with more the 50 percent identities that are present in homology models

The Pace of Digital Libraries: Academic libraries perspective

Digital libraries are playing a prominent role in information services in general and information retrieval in particular. Users are giving more preference to digital than print resources. The metamorphosis of libraries from traditional to digital, information services to access providers, Document custodians to Knowledge managers forced library professionals to evolve themselves as information providers. The topics like a user-centric digital library system, leverage of social media in digital library services and other aspects are discussed in detail

Mixed convection flow of couple stress fluid between vertical parallel plates with radiation and chemical reaction effects

Paper presented to the 10th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Florida, 14-16 July 2014.This paper studies the effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on two dimensional incompressible couple stress fluid flow with mixed convective heat and mass transfer between two vertical parallel plates in a porous space. The plates are kept at different but constant temperature and concentrations. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are then solved using the homotopy analysis method. The effects of the radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter and couple stress fluid parameter on velocity, temperature and concentrations are discussed and shown graphically. Also the effects of the pertinent parameters on the rates of heat and mass transfer are tabulated.cf201
