Impact of Permeable Lining of the Wall on the Peristaltic Flow of Herschel Bulkley Fluid

The peristaltic motion is modeled for the Herschel Bulkley fluid, considered to flow in a non-uniform inclined channel. The channel wall is supposed to be lined with a non-erodible porous material. The flow is considered to be moving in a wave frame of reference moving with same velocity as of the sinusoidal wave. Low Reynolds number and long wave length assumptions are made to solve the model. Analytical solution is obtained for the pressure difference and also for the frictional force. Graphs are plotted, using Mathematica software, for both the results of pressure difference and frictional force against time average velocity. We observe that increasing the porous thickening, increases the pressure difference while, it decreases the frictional force. It is seen that the behavior of the pressure difference is opposite to the behavior of the frictional force for all the parameters considered

802.11AX FOR INTERNET OF THINGS - MACHINE LEARNING ASSISTED OPTIMIZED POWER SAVE TECHNIQUES FOR IOT DEVICES USING 802.11AX TARGET WAKE TIME

Machine-learning assisted optimized power-saving techniques for battery-operated Wi-Fi Internet of Things (IoT) devices are provided. These techniques use various IoT device information including Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) data along with a clustering algorithm to provide an automatic and dynamic computation of Target Wake Time (TWT) power save schedule for the devices. These techniques may be used by next generation 802.11ax access points to more efficiently schedule the target wake time for the 802.11ax supported IoT devices, to thereby prolong the lifetime of battery operated IoT devices connected to the 802.11ac access points

Results on Binary Soft Topological Spaces

The concept of binary soft topological spaces defined on two universal  sets and a parameter set is investigated in this paper. We define and examine the properties of the binary soft nowhere dense, binary soft dense, binary soft Gδ-set, and binary soft first and second category  sets. Also, we introduced binary soft baire spaces and studied their characterizations

Results on Binary Soft Topological Spaces

The Baire space is used in the proof of results in many areas of analysis and geometry, including some of the fundamental theorems of functional analysis. The concept of Baire spaces has been studied extensively in general topology. Thangaraj and Anjalmose [35] studied Baire spaces in the context of fuzzy theory. In this paper, we discussed the notions of the binary soft nowhere dense, binary soft dense, binary soft Gδ-set, binary soft first and second category sets, binary soft Baire spaces. Many of their properties are revealed and different characterizations of each are given. In conclusion, we determined some conditions under which the subspace property of a Baire space is preserved

Knowledge, attitude, perceptions and assessment of effectiveness of educational intervention on Pharmacovigilance among undergraduate medical students at Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalaburagi, India

Background: The Study was designed to assess the awareness of Pharmacovigilance and to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention.Methods: This was a questionnaire-based pre- and post-test educational interventional study. Students were given handouts containing information about pharmacovigilance one month before the educational intervention. A pre-validated 20-point questionnaire on (KAP) Knowledge, attitude, perception about Pharmacovigilance was distributed to second year medical students (n=115). An interactive educational intervention (Power point presentation) was designed. The chi-square test and unpaired paired t-test was used for statistical calculation.Results: The overall response rates were expressed as percentages, Mean±SD. The knowledge, attitude and perceptions of pharmacovigilance when compared before (pre-KAP) and after (post-KAP) the educational intervention, the correct response rates were found to be statistically significant (P<0.001). The feedback from the students was encouraging, handouts before the lecture classes helped them to easily grasp the pharmacovigilance concepts better during lectures.Conclusions: The study concluded that imparting the knowledge about pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting promotes drug safety and rational use of medicines in future

Daily variation of the geomagnetic field near the focus of Sq-current system in Indian longitude

The paper presents the first results on the behaviour of solar quiet-day variations of the geomagnetic field components at Gulmarg. Combining the data from Russian stations in the same longitude belt, the annual average daily variations are calculated which show, in the horizontal component (H), a reversal of phase between Gulmarg and Tashkent. Studying the Sq-variations at Gulmarg separately for the three seasons, the daily variation of H during d-months is predominantly diurnal in character with the maximum before noon. During e-months, and more so inj-months, daily variation of the H field is predominantly semidiurnal in character with minimum around 08-09 hr LT and maximum around 14 hr LT consistently during 1978, 1979 and 1980. These features of the Sq at Gulmarg are suggested to be due to the deformations of the current loops caused by the changing latitude of focus during the course of the day

A REVIEW AND RESEARCH TOWARDS SECURITY IN MOBILE CLOUD COMPUTING

Mobile cloud computing is a combination of cloud computing and mobiles. Mobile cloud computing represents an infrastructure where data processing and storage of the data happens away from the mobile device   because of the  limited resources which is provided by the mobile infrastructure. Total of 42.8 million (1.1% of total mobile users) people are Mobile Cloud Computing users in 2008 which will be about 998 million (19% of total mobile users) by 2015. This is because of the reason of security and cost. Most of the IT  Executives and  CEOs are not willing to adopt the MCC infrastructure because of the security concern. Inspite of many efforts and research which has been made there are many loopholes  and challenges which are still present. In this paper we present the security aspects and possible solutions for the same

Radiomorphometric Localization of Mental Foramen and Mandibular Canal using Cone Beam Computed Tomography as an Aid to Gender Determination- A Retrospective Study

AIM: The present study aimed at evaluating the role of mental foramen and mandibular canal in gender determination using CBCT.METHODOLOGY: A total number of 73 volumes of CBCT of the mandible was evaluated. Four measurements were used to assess the bucco-lingual and supero-inferior location of mandibular canal and the supero-inferior location of mental foramen was determined using two measurements on both right and left sides of the mandible. Inter and intra-observer variability was analyzed with help of t-test.RESULTS: Good intra-observer and inter-observer agreement was noted with regard to all the six measurements. The mean of all the measurements of mental nerve foramen and mandibular canal was found to be higher in males than females, however, significant difference was noted with regard to Superior Mental foramen (SMeF) and Superior Inferior Alveolar Canal (SMC) (p=0.037, p&lt;0.001 respectively) on the right side and SIAC and Inferior Inferior Alveolar Canal (IIAC), (p=0.015, p=0.046 respectively) on the left side.CONCLUSION: The results of the present study suggest that SMeF, SIAC and IIAC may be used for gender determination. Further, either side of mandible can be used for this purpose. CBCT was found to be a useful modality in this study for sexual dimorphism
