    Most of commercial phosphors consist of suitably doped polycrystalline compounds. The activation means has been usually discussed, less attention has been paid to the influence of fuels on host preparation in the final performance of the products. In this paper different fuels have been followed to synthesize phosphors based on Dy doped ZnAl2O4. The mechanoluminescence (ML) properties of the materials have been given special consideration. Finally, various ML curves have been recorded in order to assess which of the fuel yields the most efficient Dy doped ZnAl2O4 compound. Dy doped ZnAl2O4 compound has been prepared by solution combustion technique with fuels such as urea, hydrazine and carbohydrazide separately. It is observed that urea enhances the ML intensity of the sample used. XRD result confirms formation of the phosphor. It is suggested that recombination of the trapped charge carriers are responsible for ML in this system. Keywords: Mechanoluminescence, defects, dislocations

    In this paper, it focuses at the communication protocols, that can have important effect on the whole energy dissipation of these types of networks. Depend on the observations that the conventional protocols of direct transmission, multi-hop routing, minimum-transmission-energy, and static clustering cannot be better for the sensor networks, it suggest the LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), to equally share the load of energy in the network among the sensors. MANET has a dynamic type of topology because of the movement of portable terminals in the network. These types of mobile terminals are battery operated and need battery resources for the purpose of communication also these types of resources are very limited. This protocol provides help to decrease the power consumption of terminals and also extends the life of battery to enhance the life time of network. This paper, point out on the energy efficient routing protocol that is LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is discovered, by the use of this protocol the performance of network is improved by decreasing the consumption of power of mobile terminals in the network

    A Perspective for Clinical Pharmacy Curriculum Development and Validation in Asian Developing Nations

    Get PDF
    This perspective is a reflection of the Personal teaching experience of the authors. The aim of this perspective is to identify the weaknesses in the pharmacy curriculum development in Asian developing nations and to propose a methodological approach for curriculum validation. It has been seen that improper selection of the course contents were the common limitations found in the pharmacy curriculum in developing nations. Furthermore, lack of facilities and improper student evaluation system were the other flaws that are acting as a main challenge to pharmacy education in developing nations. A systemic way for the curriculum designing and validation can be a solution to manage the observed deficiencies. Keeping in view this motivation a set of task are defined in the form of Pharmacy Curriculum Development and Validation Model (PCDVM) that can be a guideline for the pharmacy educators for the evaluation and validation of the curriculum. Partial or full implementation of this model will enable the pharmacy institutions to deliver quality knowledge to pharmacy students which will further contribute to quality health care system in developing countries

    The Abelmoschus manihot (L.) commonly reffered to as “Junglee bhindi” is widely used to control fertility, depression and anxiety in traditional Chinese medicine and has potential therapeutic benefit for cardiovascular diseases associated with diabetes mellitus. The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of 95% ethanolic extract of Abelmoschus manihot on general mounting frequency, intromission frequency, penile erection index along with body weight/organ weight and sperm count on sexually normal male mice. Two doses i.e. 100and 200 mg/kg b.w. of ethanolic extract administered to Swiss albino mice, showed pronounced anabolic and spermatogenic effect in animals of respective groups. There was a remarkable increased in sperm count and penile erection index and also improved sexual behavior of male mice by increased mount and intromission frequency.The result of the present study signatured for sexual enhancing capacity of the drug Abelmoschus manihot is an individual and also holds good aphrodisiac property when compared with standard drug. It was noticed that a 200 mg/kg b.w. dose of Abelmoschus manihot, the performance rate enhances without any side effect. Therefore, the conclusion suggestive that the Abelmoschus manihot will be a drug of choice or alternative therapy for a marketed product. Which may help the population to lead their sexual life perfectly with full of pleasure to interact body, mind and sole.Keywords: Abelmoschus manihot, Aphrodisiac, Mounting frequency, Intromission frequency, Penile erection index

    The QCD equation of state at nonzero densities: lattice result

    Get PDF
    In this letter we give the equation of state of QCD at finite temperatures and densities. The recently proposed overlap improving multi-parameter reweighting technique is used to determine observables at nonvanishing chemical potentials. Our results are obtained by studying n_f=2+1 dynamical staggered quarks with semi-realistic masses on N_t=4 lattices.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure

    Chondromyxoid fibromas are rare, benign tumours account for <1% of primary bone neoplasms. Most commonly affected in 2nd and 3rdof life. We report one such case of chondromyxoid fibroma in distal fibula of a 15-year-old girl. The patient was managed with lower 3rd fibulectomy and fibular turnoplasty from middle 3rd fibula with 1/3rd tubular plate fixation for stabilization followed by bone grafting. The patient is disease free since 3 years.Keywords: Chondromyxoid fibroma, lower 1/3rd of fibula, Fibular Turnoplast

    The QCD transition temperature: results with physical masses in the continuum limit

    Get PDF
    The transition temperature (TcT_c) of QCD is determined by Symanzik improved gauge and stout-link improved staggered fermionic lattice simulations. We use physical masses both for the light quarks (mudm_{ud}) and for the strange quark (msm_s). Four sets of lattice spacings (NtN_t=4,6,8 and 10) were used to carry out a continuum extrapolation. It turned out that only NtN_t=6,8 and 10 can be used for a controlled extrapolation, NtN_t=4 is out of the scaling region. Since the QCD transition is a non-singular cross-over there is no unique TcT_c. Thus, different observables lead to different numerical TcT_c values even in the continuum and thermodynamic limit. The peak of the renormalized chiral susceptibility predicts TcT_c=151(3)(3) MeV, wheres TcT_c-s based on the strange quark number susceptibility and Polyakov loops result in 24(4) MeV and 25(4) MeV larger values, respectively. Another consequence of the cross-over is the non-vanishing width of the peaks even in the thermodynamic limit, which we also determine. These numbers are attempted to be the full result for the TT≠\neq0 transition, though other lattice fermion formulations (e.g. Wilson) are needed to cross-check them.Comment: 13 pages 5 figures.
