Synchronization Based Approach for Estimating All Model Parameters of Chaotic Systems
The problem of dynamic estimation of all parameters of a model representing
chaotic and hyperchaotic systems using information from a scalar measured
output is solved. The variational calculus based method is robust in the
presence of noise, enables online estimation of the parameters and is also able
to rapidly track changes in operating parameters of the experimental system.
The method is demonstrated using the Lorenz, Rossler chaos and hyperchaos
models. Its possible application in decoding communications using chaos is
discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Web Services Approach to Library Feberated Search: Bangalore University Academic Library
The objective of this project is to setup a co-operative framework and develop a central index system for accessing the collections of all Affiliated College Libraries of Bangalore University. This is ought to be achieved by applying a new approach for search and retrieval via SRU/W combined with MARC and Dublin core meta-data paradigm; harvest meta-data using Open Archives Initiative – Protocol for Meta-data Harvesting. The project includes a server, client and portal, functionality partly running on Server and client browser resulting in a low implementation barrier, maximum scalability, and browser independence, as well
as giving users control over the search interface and what collections to search
Library Portal: Role of Librarian
This paper emphasizes the significance, elements and functionality of library portals, the role of librarian as selector and organizer of information on the web. The portal offers the user the ease of searching many sources at once, integrating results from licensed resources and local databases and bibliographical descriptions of digitized material. Equally, the familiar portal interface is an option for searching databases that are unfamiliar to the users. Librarians bring their expertise with content, their knowledge of copyright, their commitment to customer service and their experience in creating customized web-based information delivery systems
Maternal complications in eclampsia and pre-eclampsia: an institutional study
Background: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are associated with higher rates of maternal, fetal, and infant mortality, and severe morbidity, especially in cases of severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome. The aim of the study was to determine maternal outcomes in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia.Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study carried out at Vaatsalya Life Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Kalaburagi, Karnataka from January 2016 to June 2018. All patients admitted with preeclampsia and eclampsia were analysed for the maternal complications.Results: A total of 100 deliveries were conducted during the study period of which 71 cases were severe preeclampsia and eclampsia. Most of the patients were primi parous with mean age of 26.5 years. There were 32 cases of severe preeclampsia and 39 cases of eclampsia. The most common complication was HELLP syndrome in 6 cases (2 with ARF). There was one case of maternal mortality.Conclusions: We conclude that severe preeclampsia and eclampsia are associated with higher rates of maternal severe morbidity and that these two factors still remain the major contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality
Problems and Perspectives of Health Sciences Libraries in Digital Era : A Descriptive Analysis with Sepcial Reference to Karnataka and Maharastra
The ~resent study on health science libraries in «ernetsk« and Mat:arastra indicate that libraries in India have to go tonq- way 10 become IT based knowledge system or to call as Digital Libraries or Virtual Libraries. The development, as it goes in India. to achieve iotcqrsteo information services, on par with the capability of health care services. would remain as a dream. Majority of the libraries as per the study are concentrating on legacy system both in evaluation of inlormation services/resources in medical colleges and they are.yet to Change their mindset towards this transitional effect in the application of IT
BANGALORE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC LIBRARY NETWORK (BALNET)
Bangalore University has three constituent colleges and 440 Affiliated Colleges. The University has a Central Library at a sprawling campus called Jnana Bharati and a Branch library in the heart of the city at the Central
College campus. All the 440 affiliated colleges have independent libraries. A number of these libraries have already computerized their housekeeping operations and have created bibliographical databases of their collections.BALNET will develop a resource sharing model by which all participating libraries can avail inter-library loan and document delivery services. In
the proposed model the online union catalogue will students and faculty at the BU and any of the colleges to search for required monographs, serials, conference proceedings, articles. The authors has given an overview of proposed network model
