Spin-0±0^\pm portal induced Dark Matter

Standard model (SM) spin-zero singlets are constrained through their di-Bosonic decay channels via an effective coupling induced by a vector-like quark (VLQ) loop at the LHC for $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. These spin-zero resonances are then considered as portals for scalar, vector or fermionic dark matter particle interactions with SM gauge bosons. We find that the model is validated with respect to the observations from LHC data and from cosmology, indirect and direct detection experiments for an appreciable range of scalar, vector and fermionic DM masses greater than 300 GeV and VLQ masses $\ge$ 400 GeV, corresponding to the three choice of portal masses 270 GeV, 500 GeV and 750 GeV respectively.Comment: 28 pages, 13 figures, and 2 table

Artificial Neural Expert Computing Models for Determining Shelf Life of Processed Cheese

Time-delay single and multi layer models were developed for predicting shelf life of processed cheese stored at 30oC. Processed cheese is very nutritious dairy product, rich in milk proteins and milk fat. For developing computational neuroscience models,experimental data relating to body & texture, aroma & flavour, moisture, free fatty acids were taken as input variables, while sensory score as output variable. Mean Square Error, Root Mean Square Error, Coefficient of determination and Nash - Sutcliffo Coefficient were applied in order to compare the prediction performance of the developed computational models. The results of the study established excellent correlation between experimental data and the predicted values, with a high determination coefficient. From the study it was concluded that artificial neural expert time-delay models are good for predicting the shelf life of processed cheese.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i3.35

Continence outcome following needle less operation (vaginal approach) using indigenous mesh

Background: Economical and accessible non-extensive operation for stress incontinence in women who cannot afford expensive cost of mesh available for mini arc operation and other surgery of incontinences. Inexpensive hernial mesh (Hinglact), commonly available was used after indigenously designing it and placing it without a needle, under the Posterior urethral fascia with a single small vaginal incision.Methods: The present study was conducted on 25 female patients of post-menopausal group who presented with pure stress incontinence complaints. These patients did not have any uterine descent or previous surgery. Indigenously designed hernia mesh used in place of expensive needled Incontinence Meshes available by a single small incision in posterior urethera area.Results: Nearly 75% women with stress Incontinence were relieved of their symptoms with this inexpensive mesh without a needle.Conclusions: Very effective, inexpensive mesh and surgical procedure for poor socio economic, group of women found to relieve significant Incontinent patients compared to commonly used mesh with a needle

Outcome of self administered medical abortion pills by patients

Background: Study of complication rate in patients presenting in Gynaec OPD after consuming self-prescribed medical abortion pills for unwanted pregnancies. Unchecked sale of Mifepristone and Misoprostol from pharmacies without prescription is giving rise to new emergencies in Gyn and Obs OPDs, which need to be urgently looked after by the authorities and public awareness regarding it’s abuse.Methods: 200 patients of reproductive age group from 17 yrs to 42 yrs over a period of 2 years from Apr 2014-Apr. 2016, who presented after consuming abortion pills, themselves, purchased over the counter from various pharmacies. Presenting complaints and complications were recorded and procedures required were analysed.Results: Significant percentage of patients landing into severe anemia, sepsis, incomplete abortions. Two patients required surgery for ruptured ectopic and one diagnosed as hydatiform mole, 3 pregnancies continued to second trimester.Conclusions: The high rate of medical complications occurring due to absence of medical surveillance of such patients and due to lack of protocol of Gynaec examination and ultrasound, it is highly recommended to have a better control over the unabated sale of these drugs at the pharmacies
