Network Route Minimization Using Time Based Interface Control

The demand for networking is increasing day by day with the progressive need of communication. As a result the communication channel and state database are increased with correspondingly. A rise in the amount of state database maintenance is one of the important cost effective issues for communication devices. The most challenging think is router state database reducing. As of now, many different types of state table accomplishments method are proposed for router state database reducing. In this purpose, we apply and modify the SPF algorithm by time based interface control. Dijkstra’s SPF algorithms searching the shortest specific link among from the all link then build a router state database table. If the state table size is little amount, then router OS using little amount of clock cycle. Some of Network interface are down for a fixed amount of time in a router. Therefore, we proposed a time based interface control method on SPF algorithm for re-build a new state database table. The modified SPF time based interfaces control algorithm suggests a new approach on dynamic routing protocol for reducing routing table size and saving router state-database size, resulting in a better convergence time

Modeling the Impact of Pandemic-Induced Shocks and Support Measures with an Emerging Market Economy: A GUI-Model Approach

Purpose: This paper analyzes the impacts of COVID-19 shocks on an emerging market economy using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) model. Methods: Event study analysis has been adopted using secondary data for measuring the impacts and impulse responses of different shocks. Results:  The paper shows how the shocks affect the economy using graphical presentations of impulse responses of major macroeconomic indicators. The shapes and movements of the impulse response curves indicate how the effects pass through from one sector to another; how long the effects may persist in the economy, and how much time will be required for recovery. All these simulations suggest that immediate supportive measures from both fiscal and monetary sides help recover the economy, although marginally due to the required higher costs stemming mainly from the higher exchange rate volatility. Implications: Several policy implications such as sector-specific support measures, prioritization of sectors, rationing of credit facilities, efficient exchange rate management, etc., can be followed by the countries regarding fiscal and monetary policy measures towards reducing COVID-19-induced similar shocks

Squamous cell carcinoma developed on hypertropic lichen planus

Carcinoma occurring in the cutaneous lesions of Lichen Planus though rarely mentioned in literature does occw-and should be kept in mind while treating such lesions. We report a 30 year female who developed a squamous cell carcinoma in a long standing hypertropic lichen planus in the lower leg. This case is being presented to indicate the possibility of malignant transformation of cutaneous lichen planus to carcinoma, especially in the hypertrophic fonns and the need to have an early diagnosis so that it can be treated in the initial stages. A high degree of suspicion should be present when­ever we come across a non healing lesion in a patient with lichen planus. A few markers, which may give us a clue for increased chances of malignant transformation in these cases is presented

Plant density influence on yield and nutritional quality of soyabean seed.

Plant density is an important factor affecting soybean seed yield and but information regarding plant density effects on seed quality is highly scarce. The present study examines the relationship of seed yield and quality of two soybean varieties viz., PB-1 and G-2 with plant densities. The experiments were conducted in three consecutive seasons viz., Rabi 2004-05, Kharif 2005 and Rabi 2005-06 at the Agronomy Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Six plant densities viz., 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 plants m -2 were established using an equidistant planting pattern having spacings of 22.4×22.4 cm, 15.8×15.8 cm, 12.9×12.9 cm, 10.0×10.0 cm and 9.1×9.1 cm, respectively. A split-plot design was used having variety as main plot and density as sub-plot with three replicates. The results revealed that soybean seed yield increased with increase of plant density and the highest yield was obtained at 80 to 100 plants m -2 depending on variety and season. The further increase in plant density reduced the seed yield. The seed yield, seed protein and mineral contents such as phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sulphur and zinc showed a quadratic relation with plant density. Seed protein content decreased with increase in plant density up to 80 or 100 plants m -2 and then increased with further increase in plant density while reverse occurred for seed yield and different minerals. The results also showed that seed protein content was inversely related with seed yield and mineral contents in seed

Prevalence and determinants of hypertension among urban slum dwellers in Bangladesh

Background: In low- and middle- income countries such as Bangladesh, urban slum dwellers are particularly vulnerable to hypertension due to inadequate facilities for screening and management, as well as inadequate health literacy among them. However, there is scarcity of evidence on hypertension among the urban slum dwellers in Bangladesh. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with hypertension among urban slum dwellers in Bangladesh. Methods: Data were collected as part of a large-scale cross-sectional survey conducted by Building Resources Across Communities (BRAC) between October 2015 and January 2016. The present analysis was performed among 1155 urban slum dwellers aged 35 years or above. A structured questionnaire was adminstered to collect data electronically and blood pressure measurements were taken using standardised procedures. Binary logistic regression with generalized estimating equation modelling was performed to estimate the factors associated with hypertension. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 28.3% among urban slum dwellers aged 35 years and above. In adjusted analysis, urban slum dwellers aged 45–54 years (AOR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.17–2.28), 55–64 years (AOR: 2.47, 95% CI: 1.73–3.53) and ≥ 65 years (AOR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.47–3.72), from wealthier households (AOR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.18–3.20), sleeping < 7 h per day (AOR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.39–2.51), who were overweight (AOR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.09–2.14) or obese (AOR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.71–3.20), and having self-reported diabetes (AOR: 3.08, 95% CI: 1.88–5.04) had an increased risk of hypertension. Moreover, 51.0% of the participants were taking anti-hypertensive medications and 26.4% of them had their hypertension in control. Conclusions: The findings highlight a high burden of hypertension and poor management of it among the slum dwellers in Bangladesh requiring a novel approach to improve care. It is integral to effectively implement the available national non-communicable disease (NCD) control guidelines and redesign the current urban primary health care system to have better coordination

Production and economics of carp polyculture in ponds stocked with wild and hatchery produced seeds

Lack of quality carp seeds is one of the major problems for fish production in Bangladesh. This experiment was conducted during July to December 2013 to study the production and economics of carp polyculture using wild and hatchery produced seeds in ponds in Faridpur district, Bangladesh.&nbsp; Seeds of native major carps (NMCs) (Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala) and non-native carps (NNCs) (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenophryngodon idella, Aristichthys nobilis and Cyprinus carpio) from four different sources were tested in feed and fertilizer based polyculture ponds under controlled mesocosm trials with four treatments (T1–T4), each with four replications. Combination, weight and density of the stocked species were same for all the treatments. Water quality parameters were monitored monthly and mean values were found within suitable range for fish farming. Mean final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and yield of L. rohita, C. catla and C. mrigala were found significantly (P &lt; 0.05) higher with treatment T1, T3 and T2 respectively. Treatments T1-T3 varied more significantly (P &lt; 0.05) than treatment T4 for total fish yield and cost benefit ratio.&nbsp; Polyculture of wild sourced NMCs and hatchery produced NNCs were found more profitable than aquaculture of hatchery produced NMCs and NNCs

A novel approach for pineapple leaf fiber processing as an ultimate fiber using existing machines

This research aims to study the spinnability of pristine PALF and PALF blended cotton using the existing spinning machines. Apron draft ring spinning frame and flyer jute spinning frame were used to produce 100% PALF yarn and the yarns count were found 121 tex and 138 tex separately. Besides, 90:10 and 80:20 cotton-PALF blended 30 tex yarn spun in a cotton spinning system with different twist factors. With both yarns, two samples; 1/1 plain and 3/1 twill fabrics, were fabricated through equal density. For plain and twill fabric, PALF yarn of 121 tex and 138 tex were used in the warp way, respectively and PALF blended cotton yarn of 60 tex was used in the weft way. Through the study, physio-mechanical properties of the samples were explored and FTIR & XRD patterns were analyzed to perform the task for diversified use as an ultimate fiber in industrial and domestic purposes

Monitoring of renewable energy systems by IoT‐aided SCADA system

With the rapid increase of renewable energy generation worldwide, real‐time information has become essential to manage such assets, especially for systems installed offshore and in remote areas. To date, there is no cost‐effective condition monitoring technique that can assess the state of renewable energy sources in real‐time and provide suitable asset management decisions to optimize the utilization of such valuable assets and avoid any full or partial blackout due to unexpected faults. Based on the Internet of Things scheme, this paper represents a new application for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor a hybrid system comprising photovoltaic, wind, and battery energy storage systems. Electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and power are monitored in real‐time via the ThingSpeak website. Network operators can control components of the hybrid power system remotely by the proposed SCADA system. The SCADA system is interfaced with the Matlab/Simulink software tool through KEPServerEX client. For cost‐effective design, low‐cost electronic components and Arduino Integrated Development Environment ATMega2560 remote terminal unit are employed to develop a hardware prototype for experimental analysis. Simulation and experimental results attest to the feasibility of the proposed system. Compared with other existing techniques, the developed system features advantages in terms of reliability and cost‐effectivenes
