Optimal acyclic edge colouring of grid like graphs

AbstractWe determine the values of the acyclic chromatic index of a class of graphs referred to as d-dimensional partial tori. These are graphs which can be expressed as the cartesian product of d graphs each of which is an induced path or cycle. This class includes some known classes of graphs like d-dimensional meshes, hypercubes, tori, etc. Our estimates are exact except when the graph is a product of a path and a number of odd cycles, in which case the estimates differ by an additive factor of at most 1. Our results are also constructive and provide an optimal (or almost optimal) acyclic edge colouring in polynomial time

Cannabinoid-Mediated Inhibition of Recurrent Excitatory Circuitry in the Dentate Gyrus in a Mouse Model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a neurological condition associated with neuron loss, axon sprouting, and hippocampal sclerosis, which results in modified synaptic circuitry. Cannabinoids appear to be anti-convulsive in patients and animal models of TLE, but the mechanisms of this effect are not known. A pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus mouse model of TLE was used to study the effect of cannabinoid agonists on recurrent excitatory circuits of the dentate gyrus using electrophysiological recordings in hippocampal slices isolated from control mice and mice with TLE. Cannabinoid agonists WIN 55,212-2, anandamide (AEA), or 2-arachydonoylglycerol (2-AG) reduced the frequency of spontaneous and tetrodotoxin-resistant excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in mice with TLE, but not in controls. WIN 55,212-2 also reduced the frequency of EPSCs evoked by glutamate-photolysis activation of other granule cells in epileptic mice. Secondary population discharges evoked after antidromic electrical stimulation of mossy fibers in the hilus were also attenuated by cannabinoid agonists. Agonist effects were blocked by the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) antagonist AM251. No change in glutamate release was observed in slices from mice that did not undergo status epilepticus. Western blot analysis suggested an up-regulation of CB1R in the dentate gyrus of animals with TLE. These findings indicate that activation of CB1R present on nerve terminals can suppress recurrent excitation in the dentate gyrus of mice with TLE. This suggests a mechanism for the anti-convulsive role of cannabinoids aimed at modulating receptors on synaptic terminals expressed de novo after epileptogenesis

Economic Impact Of India-China Trade War: Future Directions

The growing trade war among India and China is creating imbalance in the among developing countries. Both countries are affecting in their business prospects. India is basically importing raw material for export of good and services. Growing tension leads to unnecessary growth impetus which affects industry growth, loss of employment opportunities and other trade related problems. India has considerable potential for reducing its trade deficit with China, as we can see from Made-in-China products sold on the Indian market. Most of them are low- and mid-range products. India can make these things itself. The value tune to the cores of rupees is loss for the both counties; it will create far reaching impact in Indian business environment. These papers highlight the possible causes and consequences of trade war between to Asian giants and suggest how to promote regional growth prospects for speedy development of economics

ICKSC :An Efficient Methodology for Predicting Kidney Stone From CT Kidney Image Dataset using Conventional Neural Networks

Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD) has become one among the world wide health crisis and needs the associated efforts to prevent the complete organ damage. A considerable research effort has been put forward onto the effective separation and classification of kidney Stones from the kidney CT Images. Emerging machine learning along with deep learning algorithms have waved the novel paths of kidney stone detections. But these methods are proved to be laborious and its success rate is purely depends on the previous experiences. To achieve the better classification of kidney stone, this paper proposes a novel Intelligent CNN based Kidney Stone Classification (ICKSC) system which is based on transfer learning mechanism and incorporates 8 Layered CNN, densenet169_model, mobilenetv2_model, vgg19_model and xception_model. The extensive experimentation has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the recommended structure and matched with the other prevailing hybrid deep learning model. Experimentation demonstrates that the suggested model has showed the superior predominance over the other models and exhibited better performance in terms of training loss, accuracy, recall and precision

Effectiveness of distraction technique on pain and cooperation level during venipuncture among school aged children in Paediatric Ward, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai

OBJECTIVES: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of distraction technique on pain and cooperation level during venipuncture among school aged children in paediatric ward, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: The conceptual framework for this study was based on modified Widenbach‟s prescriptive theory (1964). DESIGN: This study employed True experimental - Post test only design. SETTING OF THE STUDY: The study was conducted at paediatric ward, Institute of Child Health and Research Centre, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. SUBJECTS: A total of 60 subjects were included in the study (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group). Subjects were selected using simple random sampling technique. INTERVENTION: Children in the experimental group were displayed the cartoon movie on the laptop during the whole duration of the venipuncture. The usual standard technique was given for the children in control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Numerical Pain Rating Scale was used for measurement of pain level and Cooperative Behaviour Scale of Children in Venipuncture (CBSCV) was used to assess the cooperation level. FINDINGS: In the experimental group majority of the children 43% had no pain and 70% had good cooperation. Whereas, in control group children 53% had severe pain and 70% had no cooperation. The obtained “t” value for pain level 12.07 was significant at p < 0.001 level. Similarly the obtained “t” value for cooperation level 11.67 was significant at p < 0.001 level. The correlation between the pain level and cooperation level, in experimental group was “r” = 0.62 significant at p < 0.001 level and in control group was “r” = 0.57 significant at p < 0.001 level. So, there was highly positive correlation between the pain level and the cooperation level during venipuncture. The number of previous venipuncture was significantly associated with the pain and cooperation level of the children in the experimental and control group. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that distraction technique was effective in reducing the pain and promoting the cooperation of school aged children during venipuncture. This distracting technique is highly recommended because it is effective, easy to carry out and inexpensive

The molecular envelope around the red supergiant VY CMa

We present millimeter interferometric observations of the molecular envelope around the red supergiant VY CMa with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The high angular resolution (<2′) allows us to derive the structure of the envelope as observed in the 1.3 mm continuum, 12CO(2-1), 13CO(2-1), and SO(6 5-5 4) lines emission. The circumstellar envelope is resolved into three components: (1) a dense, compact, and dusty central component, embedded in (2) a more diffuse and extended envelope, and (3) a high-velocity component. We construct a simple model, consisting of a spherically symmetric slowly expanding envelope and bipolar outflows with a wide opening angle (∼120°) viewed close to the line of sight (i = 15°). Our model can explain the main features of die SMA data and previous single-dish CO multiline observations. An episode of enhanced mass loss along the bipolar direction is inferred from our modeling. The SMA data provide a better understanding of the complicated morphology seen in the optical/IR high-resolution observations. © 2007. The American Astronomical Society.
