Low temperature study of field induced antiferro-ferromagnetic transition in Pd doped FeRh

The first order antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition in the functional material Fe49(Rh0.93Pd0.07)51 has been studied at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. We have addressed the non-monotonic variation of lower critical field required for FM to AFM transition. It is shown that critically slow dynamics of the transition dominates below 50 K. At low temperature and high magnetic field, state of the system depends on the measurement history resulting in tunable coexistence of AFM and FM phases. By following cooling and heating in unequal magnetic field (CHUF) protocol it is shown that equilibrium state at 6 Tesla magnetic field is AFM state. Glass like FM state at 6 T (obtained after cooling in 8 T) shows reentrant transition with increasing temperature; viz. devitrification to AFM state followed by melting to FM state.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure

ACHIEVING AVAILABILITY AND DATA INTEGRITY PROOF IN HIERARCHICAL ATTRIBUTE ENCRYPTION SCHEME USING HYBRID CLOUD

It has been widely observed that the concept of cloud computing has become one of the major theory in the world of IT industry. Data owner decides to release their burden of storing and maintaining the data locally by storing it over the cloud. Cloud storage moves the owner’s data to large data centers which are remotely located on which data owner does not have any control. However, this unique feature of the cloud poses many new security challenges. One of the important concerns that need to be addressed is access control and integrity of outsourced data in cloud. Number of schemes has been proposed to achieve the access control of outsourced data like hierarchical attribute set based encryption [HASBE] by extending cipher-text-policy attribute set based encryption [CP-ABE]. Even though HASBE scheme achieves scalability, flexibility and fine grained access control, it fails to prove the data integrity in the cloud. Hence integrity checking concept has been proposed for HASBE scheme to achieve integrity. Though the scheme achieves integrity it fails to provide the availability of data to the user even when fault had occurred to data in the cloud. However, the fact that owner no longer have physical possession of data indicates that they are facing a potentially formidable risk for missing or corrupted data, because sometimes the cloud service provider deletes the data which are either not used by client from long-time and which occupies large space in the cloud without the knowledge or permission of data owner. Hence in order to avoid this security risk, in this paper we propose a hybrid cloud concept. Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment in which an organization provides and manages some internal resources and external resources. A hybrid cloud is a composition of at least one private cloud and at least one public cloud. This concept provides the availability and data integrity proof for HASBE scheme

Nevus sebaceus with syringocystadenoma papilliferum, prurigo nodularis, apocrine cystadenoma, basaloid follicular proliferation, and sebaceoma: case report and review of nevus sebaceus-associated conditions

Nevus sebaceus is a benign skin hamartoma of congenital onset that grows during puberty, and in adulthood can develop secondary benign and malignant neoplasms. The most common benign neoplasms occurring in nevus sebaceus are believed to be syringocystadenoma papilliferum, trichilemmoma, and trichoblastoma. A patient with nevus sebaceus developed not only syringocystadenoma papilliferum but also prurigo nodularis within her hamartomatous lesion; multiple biopsies were necessary to establish the diagnoses. Excision of the residual nevus sebaceus also revealed an apocrine cystadenoma, basaloid follicular proliferation, and sebaceoma. Also, it is important to select the appropriate biopsy site and size when evaluating a patient for secondary neoplasms within their nevus sebaceous. Indeed, more than one biopsy may be required if additional diagnoses are suspected

Real Space Visualization of Thermomagnetic Irreversibility within Supercooling and Superheating Spinodals in Mn1.85Co0.15SbMn_{1.85}Co_{0.15}Sb using Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy

Phase coexistence across disorder-broadened and magnetic-field-induced first order antiferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic transition in polycrystalline $Mn_{1.85}Co_{0.15}Sb$ has been studied mesoscopically by Scanning Hall Probe Microscope at 120K and up to 5 Tesla magnetic fields. We have observed hysteresis with varying magnetic field and the evolution of coexisting antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic state on mesoscopic length scale. These studies show that the magnetic state of the system at low field depends on the path followed to reach 120 K. The low field magnetic states are mesoscopically different for virgin and second field increasing cycle when 120 K is reached by warming from 5K, but are the same within measurement accuracy when the measuring temperature of 120K is reached from 300K by cooling

Borderline Ovarian Malignancies : A Single Institute Retrospective Study.

Background: Borderline ovarian tumors are histologically characterized as epithelial tumors with a stratified growth pattern but without destructive stromal invasion. Little is known about the histological subtypes and outcome, role of fertility sparing surgery and role of postoperative therapy in advanced stage in Indian scenario. While there is ample data in the world literature about this disease, prognosis in Indian patients is largely unknown due to dearth of studies in our setting. Objective: To study the demographic profile, clinical features, imaging, treatment and outcome of borderline ovarian tumors. Methods: This is a retrospective study of eighty seven patients with pathologically proven diagnosis of borderline ovarian tumor, diagnosed and treated from January 2006 to October 2011 at our institution. Most patients underwent surgical staging which incuded total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy, infracolic omentectomy, bilateral pelvic and para aortic lymphadenectomy. Young patients who had not completed their family underwent fertility sparing surgery. Patients with invasive metastatic implants received adjuvant chemotherapy. The outcome of these patients was correlated with stage, type of peritoneal implant, type of surgical procedure and with histological subtype. Results: At a median follow-up of 48 months, 100 percent survival was noted. One patient with stage III disease had recurrence. Conclusions: Borderline ovarian tumors occur at a younger age compared to invasive tumors. In patients with early stage disease who wish to preserve fertility, hysterectomy and contralateral oophorectomy are not necessary. Serous tumors occur at a younger age. They can be associated with invasive peritoneal implants and raised CA125 values. Majority of the serous tumors are bilateral and smaller in size compared to mucinous and endometroid tumors. Raised CA125 values did not correlate with the stage of disease. These patients have an excellent prognosis even in Indian scenario where majority of patients present with big ovarian masses

Room temperature giant baroresistance and magnetoresistance and its tunability in Pd doped FeRh

We report room temperature giant baro-resistance ($\approx$128\%) in $Fe_{49}(Rh_{0.93}Pd_{0.07})_{51}$. With the application of external pressure and magnetic field the temperature range of giant baro-resistance ($\approx$600\% at 5K and 19.9 kbar and 8 Tesla) and magnetoresistance ($\approx$-85\% at 5K and 8 tesla) can be tuned from 5 K to well above room temperature. As the AFM state is stabilized at room temperature under external pressure, it shows giant room temperature magnetoresistance ($\approx$-55\%) with magnetic field. Due to coupled magnetic and latticel changes, the isothermal change in room temperature resistivity with pressure (in the absence of applied magnetic field) as well as magnetic field (under various constant pressure) can be scaled together to a single curve when plotted as a function of X = T + 12.8*H - 7.2*P

Prediction of preterm delivery with a novel bedside test

Background: Preterm birth occurs in 7 to 12 % of all deliveries but account for 85% of perinatal morbidity and mortatity. Hence, there is a need for a reliable test to predict the onset of preterm labour. One such test is detection of phosphorylated insulin like growth factor binding protein 1 (phIGFBP- 1) in cervical secretion with a simple bedside kit that is recently commercialized Actim Partus kit.Methods: This was a prospective study carried out at a tertiary hospital over a period of 2 years from October 2006 to November 2008. Women between 28 to 37 weeks with intact fetal membranes, who presented with threatened preterm labour were included and followed up till delivery. Time interval between test and delivery, weeks of gestation at the time of delivery, labour and delivery details as well as neonatal outcome were documented. Diagnostic accuracy of the test was determined by sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value.Results: It was found that this test was extremely sensitive in prediction of preterm delivery and negative test results implied low chance of preterm delivery as in the patients with positive test result the average time of prolongation of pregnancy was less than 24 hours and in patients with negative test result it was more than 7 days which was statistically significant (P value = 0.001). The need for NICU and perinatal morbidity was significantly less in patients with negative test result.Conclusions: There is a role of detection of cervical IGFBP-1 test in the management of women presenting with suspected preterm labour which allows us to focus on patients who are more likely to deliver preterm and also to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity
