Optimal Ensemble Learning Based on Distinctive Feature Selection by Univariate ANOVA-F Statistics for IDS
Cyber-attacks are increasing day by day. The generation of data by the population of the world is immensely escalated. The advancements in technology, are intern leading to more chances of vulnerabilities to individual’s personal data. Across the world it became a very big challenge to bring down the threats to data security. These threats are not only targeting the user data and also destroying the whole network infrastructure in the local or global level, the attacks could be hardware or software. Central objective of this paper is to design an intrusion detection system using ensemble learning specifically Decision Trees with distinctive feature selection univariate ANOVA-F test. Decision Trees has been the most popular among ensemble learning methods and it also outperforms among the other classification algorithm in various aspects. With the essence of different feature selection techniques, the performance found to be increased more, and the detection outcome will be less prone to false classification. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with F-statistics computations could be a reasonable criterion to choose distinctives features in the given network traffic data. The mentioned technique is applied and tested on NSL KDD network dataset. Various performance measures like accuracy, precision, F-score and Cross Validation curve have drawn to justify the ability of the method
Reconstruction of post electrical burns scalp defect
Pertinent approach for scalp reconstruction often poses a challenge to plastic surgeons due to numerous reasons like inelastic nature of scalp, hairy nature of scalp and others. Traditional surgical treatment of deep burns of the scalp and skull involved excision of necrotic bone and soft tissues with trephanation of the bone to permit granulation tissue formation followed by skin grafting. However, this approach prolongs wound time and adds additional trauma. Even after initial healing it may necessitate secondary soft tissue and bone reconstruction. Treatment of scalp defect after electrical burn is managed according to the amount of damage. Scalp burn injury with osteomyelitis of the calvarium is seldom mentioned in literature. In the present case, the defect was long standing with skull exposure and hence routine management of scalp defect had to be differed. The calvarial bone was replaced with sequestrum. Complete excision of the sequestrum was done with intact dura. Ensuing defect was covered with local transposition flap. The donor area was covered with split thickness skin graft
Effect of deformation on densification and corrosion behavior of Al-ZrB2 composite
In the present investigation, aluminium based metal matrix composites (MMCs) were produced through powder metallurgical route. Different composites were processed by adding different amount of ZrB2 (0, 2, 4 and 6 wt. %) at three aspect ratios of 0.35, 0.5, and 0.65, respectively. The powder mixture was compacted and pressureless sintered at 550 °C for 1 h in controlled atmosphere (argon gas). The relative density of the sintered preforms was found to be 90%, approximately. Sintered preforms are used as workpiece materials for deformation study at different temperatures in order to find the effect of temperature on the densification behaviour. Potentio-dynamic polarization studies were performed on the deformed preforms to find the effect of mechanical working. The corrosion rate was found to decrease with increase in deformation
THERMAL AND STRESS ANALYSIS OF A DRUM BRAKE BY USING FUNCTIONAL GRADED MATERIALS
The Drum brake is a move for abating or stoppage the pivot of a compass. An undercover Drum (or rotor), in the might made of sneak shackles or earthenware decompounds (catch carbon, Kevlar and E551), is steady to the haggle/the pivot. To smother the rundown, conflict token in the demeanor of caravan Seat (mounted on gadget welcome respect esteem) is sham mechanically, using pressurized water, pneumatically or electromagnetically against the two sides of the Drum. Rubbing proposes the Drum and appended enroll to lifeless or obstruct. Brakes make an interpretation of grating to flame, however in the event that the stopping mechanism get excessively anxious, they will cease, making it impossible to work for they can't sufficiently separate intense. This security of fall flat is theoretical as totally characterless. Drum stopping mechanism are acountable to ill defined peevish underscore amid trail breakage and underdone warm atlantes trouble amid profound crumbliest. The point of the gadget is to show a drum side-slip contacting in AUDI A100. Basic and Thermal is done on the Drum divider. The materials clothing is Cast Iron, Aluminum Alloy 6061& turn sour strong materials (artistic and E173). Examination is additionally done by exchange the extend of Drum discourage. Genuine Drum experience has no pinked; venture is wheel by contributions opening in the Drum drag for more calefactive lewdness. Displaying is done in SOLIDWORKS parametric programming and examination is done in ANSYS
Impact of opioid-free analgesia on pain severity and patient satisfaction after discharge from surgery: multispecialty, prospective cohort study in 25 countries
Background: Balancing opioid stewardship and the need for adequate analgesia following discharge after surgery is challenging. This study aimed to compare the outcomes for patients discharged with opioid versus opioid-free analgesia after common surgical procedures.Methods: This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study collected data from patients undergoing common acute and elective general surgical, urological, gynaecological, and orthopaedic procedures. The primary outcomes were patient-reported time in severe pain measured on a numerical analogue scale from 0 to 100% and patient-reported satisfaction with pain relief during the first week following discharge. Data were collected by in-hospital chart review and patient telephone interview 1 week after discharge.Results: The study recruited 4273 patients from 144 centres in 25 countries; 1311 patients (30.7%) were prescribed opioid analgesia at discharge. Patients reported being in severe pain for 10 (i.q.r. 1-30)% of the first week after discharge and rated satisfaction with analgesia as 90 (i.q.r. 80-100) of 100. After adjustment for confounders, opioid analgesia on discharge was independently associated with increased pain severity (risk ratio 1.52, 95% c.i. 1.31 to 1.76; P < 0.001) and re-presentation to healthcare providers owing to side-effects of medication (OR 2.38, 95% c.i. 1.36 to 4.17; P = 0.004), but not with satisfaction with analgesia (beta coefficient 0.92, 95% c.i. -1.52 to 3.36; P = 0.468) compared with opioid-free analgesia. Although opioid prescribing varied greatly between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, patient-reported outcomes did not.Conclusion: Opioid analgesia prescription on surgical discharge is associated with a higher risk of re-presentation owing to side-effects of medication and increased patient-reported pain, but not with changes in patient-reported satisfaction. Opioid-free discharge analgesia should be adopted routinely
Radiotherapy to the primary tumour for newly diagnosed, metastatic prostate cancer (STAMPEDE): a randomised controlled phase 3 trial.
Based on previous findings, we hypothesised that radiotherapy to the prostate would improve overall survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer, and that the benefit would be greatest in patients with a low metastatic burden. We aimed to compare standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer, with and without radiotherapy.This article is freely available via Open Access
SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 Delta variant replication and immune evasion
Abstract: The B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in the state of Maharashtra in late 2020 and spread throughout India, outcompeting pre-existing lineages including B.1.617.1 (Kappa) and B.1.1.7 (Alpha)1. In vitro, B.1.617.2 is sixfold less sensitive to serum neutralizing antibodies from recovered individuals, and eightfold less sensitive to vaccine-elicited antibodies, compared with wild-type Wuhan-1 bearing D614G. Serum neutralizing titres against B.1.617.2 were lower in ChAdOx1 vaccinees than in BNT162b2 vaccinees. B.1.617.2 spike pseudotyped viruses exhibited compromised sensitivity to monoclonal antibodies to the receptor-binding domain and the amino-terminal domain. B.1.617.2 demonstrated higher replication efficiency than B.1.1.7 in both airway organoid and human airway epithelial systems, associated with B.1.617.2 spike being in a predominantly cleaved state compared with B.1.1.7 spike. The B.1.617.2 spike protein was able to mediate highly efficient syncytium formation that was less sensitive to inhibition by neutralizing antibody, compared with that of wild-type spike. We also observed that B.1.617.2 had higher replication and spike-mediated entry than B.1.617.1, potentially explaining the B.1.617.2 dominance. In an analysis of more than 130 SARS-CoV-2-infected health care workers across three centres in India during a period of mixed lineage circulation, we observed reduced ChAdOx1 vaccine effectiveness against B.1.617.2 relative to non-B.1.617.2, with the caveat of possible residual confounding. Compromised vaccine efficacy against the highly fit and immune-evasive B.1.617.2 Delta variant warrants continued infection control measures in the post-vaccination era
Evaluating the effectiveness of rehydrating solutions in preserving periodontal ligament cells vitality: An in vitro study
Background and Purpose of the Study: Two of the most critical factors affecting the prognosis of an avulsed tooth after replantation are extraoral dry time and the storage medium in which the tooth was placed before treatment could be rendered. The ability of a storage medium to support cell viability of the periodontal ligament (PDL) can be an important factor in the prognosis, and thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of commonly available storage media.
Materials and Methods: Cultured PDL cells of sixty freshly extracted human teeth were randomly divided into four groups of 15 each, Group I: Electral solution, Group II: Ringer's lactate, Group III: Oral rehydration salt liquid (ORS-L), and Group IV: Coconut water. Samples in each group were further divided into three subgroups depending on the time duration they were placed in the storage medium, i.e., 1, 4, and 8 h. Further these samples were subjected to Collagenase assay, the cells were stained with trypan blue and viable PDL cells were counted under light microscope.
Results: Statistical analysis showed that Group II demonstrated significantly (P < 0.001) more viable PDL cells in than Groups IV and I, least viable PDL cells are seen with Group III samples.
Conclusion: Ringer's lactate maintained highest PDL cell viability followed by coconut water, electoral solution, and ORS-L at various time intervals. More studies with large samples are required to prove the efficacy of Ringer's lactate as viable storage media
Statics in orthodontic
The knowledge of statistical analysis is essential before planning any research study or undergoing any orthodontic treatment. Clinical studies often compare the efficacy of a new treatment in a study group with the efficacy of conventional treatment or with a control group.
