In this research, „Droplet Based Direct Write‟ micro/nano manufacturing is investigated using a molecular dynamics modeling and simulation approach. The aim of this investigation is characterization of the direct write inkjet printing process to promote optimization for the enhancement of scalability. The study was completed in four phases; nanodroplet evaporation modeling, substrate-nanodroplet interaction modeling, nanodroplet impingement study and nanodroplet-patterned substrate interaction modeling

Heterogeneous Video Transcoder for H.264/AVC to HEVC

The new video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding, was developed to succeed the current standard, H.264/Advance Video Coding. However, there is a lot of legacy content encoded with H.264. So the new efficient method is proposed for transcoding the H.264 encoded video into high efficiency video coding format. In proposed method, two stages are implemented. In training stage, transcoding is done using SSD method and different coding parameters or features are extracted from incoming H.264. In transcoding stage, the best mode of outgoing coding unit partitions are decided by calculating threshold value and optimum weight using extracted features. Then it is evaluated by doing experiments on different videos. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150615

Housing conditions, knowledge and perceived health effects of indoor air pollution in tribal women of rural Maharashtra

Background: Dependence on using biomass fuels for cooking and heating leads to Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) which can lead to adverse health outcomes. Aim of this study was to observe the housing and kitchen conditions in households of tribal areas, assess the knowledge of women regarding the IAP and perceived health effects due to it.Methods: Cross-sectional community- based study conducted in 100 women above the age of 18 years in a tribal village. A semi-structured questionnaire was used and spot observations were made. Chi-Square was used to calculate the association between type of stove, housing conditions and health effects of IAP. Logistic regression was used to identify determinants of the health effects of IAP.Results: The mean age of women was 29 years; all houses had a separate kitchen; 34% used mud stove with wood. Easy availability and economic reasons were cited for using wood. 47% of women thought IAP present in their homes and the most common source was cooking. Symptoms like asthma, sweating, burns/rash, and headache had a significantly higher association in women using mud stove (P<0.05) than LPG stove. A strong association was found between cooking hours and health effects due to IAP (P< 0.004).Conclusions: IAP due to cooking and unfavorable housing conditions are associated with health problems in women. Knowledge regarding IAP is poor. Reasons for reliance on using mud stove needs to be addressed

Sentimental Analysis of Social Media Using R language and Hadoop

The way of expressing people’s views, opinions and Sentiments about others has been changed due to the growth of Technology of World Wide Web. Mostly people use blogs, Social sites, online discussions etc. for expressing their views. Massive amount of data is generated because of this. Companies face many problems in storing this massive data. This paper helps in analysis of sentiments of the data fetched from twitter using R language which either collects the information in the form of positive, negative or neutral score. After this the fetched data is pre-processed i.e. all the slang words, misspelled words etc. are removed. Using R language and Hadoop Connector we perform the analysis of twitter data which has size of TB’s also known as big data. R language and Hadoop tool are the two different platforms on which the performance estimation will be based on

PREVALENCE OF DIABETES MELLITUS WITH PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS IN DR. SOETOMO GENERAL ACADEMIC HOSPITAL, SURABAYA, INDONESIA 2016

Highlight: 1. The signs and symptoms of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and those of diabetes mellitus were similar. 2. Male, aged 51-75 years old, and working in private sector are characteristics of most of the diabetic patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Abstract: Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a type of disorder where the patients’ blood sugar is above average. Diabetes Mellitus can cause an abundance of comorbidities, from viral infection until metabolic abnormalities. The increased risk of infections is mostly because diabetes mellitus changes how the body works. The changes range from changes in mechanical barriers (humoral immunity) and cellular changes (cellular immunity), the changes of the humoral immunity that can increase the chance of protracting pulmonary tuberculosis. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of diabetes mellitus in pulmonary tuberculosis in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia from January to December 2016. Materials and Methods: The research method used was an observational study using a cross-sectional design conducted in Central Medical Record for hospitalized patients, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. The diabetes mellitus patients’ data collected from the medical records of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia in 2016 were 1,410 and 11 of them were also diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. The final data taken were from 67 out of 115 patients due to the incomplete medical record. Results: According to the data, the most of the diabetic patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were male, age of 51-75 years old, and worked in private sector. Conclusion: There was a significantly higher number of diabetes mellitus with pulmonary tuberculosis patients in older age, males, and private-sector workers. Diabetic patients with pulmonary

Andro-Shield

Today Android has the biggest market share as compared to other operating system for smart phone. As users are continuously increasing day by day the Security is one of the main concerns for Smartphone users. As the features and power of Smartphone are increase, so that they have their vulnerability for attacks by Malwares. But the android is the operating system which is more secure than any other operating systems available for Smart phones. The Android operating system has very few restrictions for developers and it will increase the security risk for end users. I am proposing an android application which is able to perform dynamic analysis on android program. To perform this analysis,I have to deploy the android application, in this proposed system I am going to deploy android application on a local server. This application executes automatically without any human interaction. It automatically detects malware by using pattern matching algorithm. If malware get detected, then user get inform that particular application is malicious and restrict the user from installing application

Study of midterm outcome of spinal fusion in low grade spondylolisthesis

Background: The objective of our study is to measure clinical and radiological outcome of spinal fusion in low grade spondylolisthesis at minimum 5 years following surgery.Methods: Monocenteric prospective observational study was conducted to assess the mid-term outcome of spinal fusion in low grade spondylolisthesis with minimum 5 years following surgery in patients who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2015 in department of orthopaedics of Seth Nandlal Dhoot hospital, Aurangabad. Out of total 51 participants, there were 24 males and 27 females with mean age of 55.90 years of study participants. The patients were evaluated radiologically with AP and lateral X-rays views and dynamic flexion and extension views were taken and was evaluated with Lenke method and clinically with the visual analog scale (VAS) for back and leg pain, the Oswestry disability index (ODI), and the physical component (Physical functioning) of SF-36 health survey at minimum 5 years following surgery.Results: In our study we observed high spinal fusion rate of 96.1% and satisfactory improvement in clinical outcome at minimum 5 years following surgery in 51 study participants who underwent spinal fusion for low grade spondylolisthesis.Conclusions: The spinal fusion in low grade spondylolisthesis is a safe, simple and less morbid approach with low complication rate. We observed 96.1% of spinal fusion rate and highly significant decrease in post-operative mean ODI score, mean SF-36 physical component and mean VAS score with 78.4% patient did not develop any complications. Spinal fusion provides better functional outcome by providing pain relief and improving the quality of life in the patients. Spinal fusion restores the normal sagittal balance of spine and maintains the disc space height and also provides better fusion rates.
