SATHI- Animation Music Video
Sathi is a short animated music video inspired by the life of the creator. The story is all about an introverted boy and his love for music which helps him to express his emotions. The emotions, expressions with the magic of animation are the keywords by which the whole story has been told. The work is done in traditional animation and digital, both. It‟s mixed media work in which software used as a mediator to produce the required output. Music is also a very important part of this project because when this idea of showing my story in the form of animation came in mind is, music was the lead keyword for the work. According to music, and the feel of the story lyrics have been written. In the process of doing this project, I explored many treatments and medium to construct a good story. This movie is a try to make the life story of a writer in reach of his target audience. The story begins with the fear of an introverted boy and his secret love for music. The movie continues as to how this introverted boy gets involved in music and how music impacted his life
A Review on Secure Access to Cloud Storage by using ABE
Cloud computing is going to be very famous technology in IT enterprises. For an enterprise, the data stored is huge and it is very precious. All tasks are performed through networks. Hence, it becomes very important to have the secured use of data. In cloud computing, the most important concerns of security are data security and privacy. For access control, being one of the classic research topics, many schemes have been proposed and implemented. In this paper, various schemes for encryption that consist of Attribute based encryption (ABE) and its types KP-ABE, CP-ABE is explored. Public Key Encryption acts as the basic technique for ABE where it provides one to many encryptions, here, the private key of users & the cipher-text both rely on attributes such that, when the set of the attributes of users key matches set of attributes of cipher-text with its corresponding access policy, only then decryption is possible

An Empirical Study Linking Additive Manufacturing Design Process to Success in Manufacturability
This paper characterizes engineering designers’ abilities to re-design a component for
additive manufacturing, employing screen capture methods. Additive Manufacturing has garnered
significant interest from a wide range of industries, academia and government stakeholders due to
its potential to reform and disrupt traditional manufacturing processes. The technology offers
unprecedented design freedom and customization along with its ability to process novel and high
strength alloys in promising lead times. To harness the maximum potential of this technology,
designers are often tasked with creating new products or re-design existing portfolios of
traditionally manufactured parts to achieve lightweight designs with better performance. To date,
few studies explore the correspondence between design behaviors and manufacturability of final
product within an Additive Manufacturing context. This paper presents empirical data from the
design processes of six graduate student engineering designers as they re-design a traditionally
designed part for additive manufacturing. Behaviors through the design task are compared between
the study participants with a quantitative measure of the manufacturability and quality of each
design. Results indicate opportunities for further research and best practices in design for Additive
manufacturing and engineering education practitioners across multiple disciplines.Mechanical Engineerin
Correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum electrolytes in chronic kidney disease patients
Background: The occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) a highly prevalent condition has been escalating in recent years. Electrolytes are the key to homeostasis and furthermore, their regulation is dependent upon renal function. CKD is associated with aberrations in the metabolism of electrolytes such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to study the correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum electrolytes in CKD patients.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study. One hundred patients with CKD aged 18 years or above were enrolled with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Complete blood investigations, urine analysis and ultrasonographic findings for detection of CKD were done and a semi-structured pro forma was used to record clinical profile in a cross-sectional study and patients were grouped into their respective CKD stages based on their eGFR.
Results: The mean value of eGFR was 40.92±21.35 mL/min/1.73 m2. The mean value of serum sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium was 137.1±2.16 meq/L, 9.15±0.61 mg/dL, 3.16±0.93 mg/dL, and 4.65±0.96 meq/L, respectively. In the present study, we found that the mean serum magnesium levels in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of CKD were 2.10±0.20, 2.10±0.28, 2.74±0.50, 3.95±0.54, and 4.66±0.43 mg/dL, respectively. Mean serum magnesium levels were the mean serum potassium levels in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of CKD were 4.13±0.57, 4.15±0.68, 3.86±0.41, 5.55±0.39, and 6.25±0.08 meq/L, respectively. The mean serum calcium levels in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of CKD were 9.83±0.05, 9.79±0.20, 9.43±0.27, 8.72±0.38, and 7.8±0.10 mg/dL, respectively. The mean serum sodium levels in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of CKD were 137.33±0.57, 136.43±2.87, 136.92±2.15, 137.51±1.90, and 137.5±2.07 meq/L, respectively.
Conclusion: There was significant rise in serum potassium and magnesium levels with decrease in eGFR in CKD patients. There was significant fall in serum calcium levels with decrease in eGFR in CKD patients. There was no significant correlation between serum sodium levels and eGFR in CKD patients
Genome Characteristics Reveal the Biocontrol Potential of Actinobacteria Isolated From Sugarcane Rhizosphere
To understand the beneficial interaction of sugarcane rhizosphere actinobacteria in
promoting plant growth and managing plant diseases, this study investigated the
potential role of sugarcane rhizospheric actinobacteria in promoting plant growth and
antagonizing plant pathogens. We isolated 58 actinobacteria from the sugarcane
rhizosphere, conducted plant growth-promoting (PGP) characteristics research, and
tested the pathogenic fungi in vitro. Results showed that BTU6 (Streptomyces
griseorubiginosus), the most representative strain, regulates plant defense enzyme
activity and significantly enhances sugarcane smut resistance by regulating stress
resistance-related enzyme (substances (POD, PAL, PPO, TP) in sugarcane) activity in
sugarcane. The genomic evaluation indicated that BTU6 has the ability to biosynthesize
chitinase, b-1,3-glucanase, and various secondary metabolites and plays an essential
role in the growth of sugarcane plants under biotic stress. Potential mechanisms of
the strain in improving the disease resistance of sugarcane plants and its potential
in biodegrading exogenous chemicals were also revealed. This study showed the
importance of sugarcane rhizosphere actinobacteria in microbial ecology and plant
growth promotion
Sugarcane-Legume Intercropping Can Enrich the Soil Microbiome and Plant Growth
Soil microbes have a direct impact on plant metabolism and health. The current
study investigates the comparative rhizobiome between sugarcane monoculture and
sugarcane–soybean intercropping. A greenhouse experiment was performed with two
treatments: (1) sugarcane monoculture and (2) sugarcane–soybean intercropped. We
used a high-throughput sequencing (HTS) platform to analyze the microbial community.
We used the 16S rRNA gene and internal transcribed spacer region primers to identify
the microbial diversity. HTS results revealed that a total of 2,979 and 124 bacterial and
fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were observed, respectively.Microbial diversity
results concluded that the intercropping system has a beneficial impact on soil microbes.
The highest numbers of bacterial and fungal OTUs were found in the intercropping
system, and these results also collaborated with quantitative PCR results. Additionally,
intercropped sugarcane plants showed a higher weight of above- and below-ground
parts than the monoculture. Soil chemical analysis results also complemented that the
intercropping systemnourished organic carbon, total nitrogen, and soil enzyme activities.
Correlation analysis of the diversity index and abundance concluded that soil nutrient
content positively influenced the microbial abundance that improves plant growth. The
present study frames out the profound insights of microbial community interaction
under the sugarcane–soybean intercropping system. This information could help improve
or increase the sugarcane crop production without causing any negative impact on
sugarcane plant growth and development
Transcriptome Analysis Reveals a Gene Expression Pattern That Contributes to Sugarcane Bud Propagation Induced by Indole-3-Butyric Acid
Sugarcane is a cash crop that plays an integral part in the sugar industry. The Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) has been adopted globally, ensuring enough and aiming for more yield, helping increase disease-free sugarcane cultivation. Single-bud seeds could be the best approach for sugarcane cultivation. Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is a rooting agent utilized significantly in seedling propagation. Greenhouse experiment results discovered the significant growth promotion in sugarcane seedlings and accumulation of plant hormones at 100 ppm IBA. Next, we performed transcriptomic analysis of sugarcane buds using RNA sequencing and compared their gene expression during root development due to affect of IBA (100 ppm). A total of 113,475 unigenes were annotated with an average length of 836 bp (N50 = 1,536). The comparative RNA-seq study between the control (CK) and IBA-treated (T) buds showed significant differentially expressed unigenes (494 upregulated and 2086 downregulated). The IBA influenced major biological processes including metabolic process, the cellular process, and single-organism process. For cellular component category, cell, cell part, organelle, membrane, and organelle part were mainly affected. In addition, catalytic activity and binding were primarily affected in the molecular function categories. Furthermore, the expression of genes related to plant hormones and signaling pathways was analyzed by qRT-PCR, which was consistent with the RNA-seq expression profile. This study provides new insights into the IBA response to the bud sprouting in sugarcane based on RNA sequencing, and generated information could help further research on breeding improvement of sugarcane
High-Throughput Sequencing-Based Analysis of Rhizosphere and Diazotrophic Bacterial Diversity Among Wild Progenitor and Closely Related Species of Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. Inter-Specific Hybrids)
Considering the significant role of genetic background in plant-microbe interactions and
that most crop rhizospheric microbial research was focused on cultivars, understanding
the diversity of root-associated microbiomes in wild progenitors and closely related
crossable species may help to breed better cultivars. This study is aimed to fill a critical
knowledge gap on rhizosphere and diazotroph bacterial diversity in the wild progenitors
of sugarcane, the essential sugar and the second largest bioenergy crop globally. Using a
high-throughput sequencing (HTS) platform, we studied the rhizosphere and diazotroph
bacterial community of SaccharumofficinarumL. cv. Badila (BRS), Saccharumbarberi (S.
barberi) Jesw. cv Pansahi (PRS), Saccharum robustum [S. robustum; (RRS), Saccharum
spontaneum (S. spontaneum); SRS], and Saccharum sinense (S. sinense) Roxb. cv Uba
(URS) by sequencing their 16S rRNA and nifH genes. HTS results revealed that a total
of 6,202 bacteria-specific operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified, that were
distributed as 107 bacterial groups. Out of that, 31 rhizobacterial families are commonly
spread in all five species. With respect to nifH gene, S. barberi and S. spontaneum
recorded the highest and lowest number of OTUs, respectively. These results were
validated by quantitative PCR analysis of both genes. A total of 1,099 OTUs were identified for diazotrophs with a core microbiome of 9 families distributed among all the
sugarcane species. The core microbiomes were spread across 20 genera. The increased
microbial diversity in the rhizosphere was mainly due to soil physiochemical properties.
Most of the genera of rhizobacteria and diazotrophs showed a positive correlation,
and few genera negatively correlated with the soil properties. The results showed
that sizeable rhizospheric diversity exists across progenitors and close relatives. Still,
incidentally, the rhizosphere microbial abundance of progenitors of modern sugarcane
was at the lower end of the spectrum, indicating the prospect of Saccharum species
introgression breeding may further improve nutrient use and disease and stress tolerance
of commercial sugarcane. The considerable variation for rhizosphere microbiome seen
in Saccharum species also provides a knowledge base and an experimental system for
studying the evolution of rhizobacteria-host plant association during crop domestication
Clinical and Radiological Profile of Acute Cerebrovascular Accident With Special Emphasis On Neurosurgical and Medical Methods in Management of ICH
Introduction: Cerebrovascular accident is a potentially lethal neurological disease of adult life. Intracerebral hemorrhage is the second most common subtype of stroke after ischemic stroke and accounts for approximately 10 % to 20 % of all strokes. Hypertension has been identified as the single most important risk factor causing intracerebral hemorrhage. Other risk factors include alcohol, smoking, diabetes, anticoagulant use and other genetic risk factors. The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage increases with age and it is more among men and in Asians. In acute stroke, CT scan readily distinguishes hemorrhage from infarct guiding anticoagulant therapy and site, size of lesion provide prognostic value. Other stroke mimicking conditions can also be identified .TheICH score is a simple clinical grading scale that allows risk stratification on presentation with ICH. The role of surgery remains controversial in the management of acute intracranial hemorrhage.Material &Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Medicine, Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa between April 2019 to June 2020 (15months). A total of 200 patients diagnosed with stroke were selected for the study.Observations and Results: CVA is most commonly found among elderly patients. The most common clinical features was found to be weakness(47%) .In the present study most common type of stroke was ischemic stroke(63%) followed by hemorrhagic(23%).In the present study most common site of Ishemic stroke was internal capsule region (40.47%), followed by parietal lobe(20.63%) . The radiographic findings were favoring the middle cerebral artery territory involvement. In the present study, mortality for patients with an ICH score of 1,2,3,4 and 5 were 27.27%, 44.4%, 66.6%, 100%, 100% respectively. In the present study there was no significant difference between outcome of patients who were managed by neurosurgery and medical management
