    Most of the business startups and established business sectors approach third party marketing agents to extend their businesses. In this scenario many times marketing agents or brokers can use the other business owner’s crucial information for their illegal gains. So a big question arises for the trustworthiness of the brokers in these kind business arrangements. So a need of a strongly coupled business entity system is required in distributed paradigm to restrain the business relationship in between owners and brokers.Many systems are existed in the market where they deal with one or two aspects of the security issues in the system. So a proposed system put forwards an idea of providing 3600 security for the broker -less publisher and subscriber system using strong two tier key generation system which is powered by reverse circle cipher cryptographic technique. In addition to our previous work [1], this paper contributes 1) use of profile based key generation system 2) use of time based key generation system 3) use of two tier key generation combing 1 and 2 4) Powerful encryption technique using reverse circle cipher encryption 5) fine grained key management system 6 ) Enriched event distribution using Gaussian model.

    Global warming, climate change and its consequences are major threat for the global agriculture. The agriculture in the North-East region of India is supposed to more in danger due to its topographic features. Agriculture in the state of Arunachal Pradesh is dependent on rainfall and variability in rainfall due to climate change is expected to threaten the food production in future. This study examines the impact of climate change on rainfall using the trend analysis technique for the four districts of Arunachal Pradesh. For this purpose temporal trends in annual and seasonal rainfall were detected using nonparametric Mann-Kendall test at 5% significance level. The daily time series rainfall data for the period 1971-2007 were analyzed statistically for each district separately. The results of Mann Kendall test showed decreasing trend in annual mean rainfall in east Siang, upper Siang and lowers Dibang valley and no trend in the west Siang district over the period of 1971-2007. In case of east Siang, upper Siang and lower Dibang valley districts, decreasing trend of rainfall was observed in the post monsoon season with slope magnitude of 3.01 mm/yr, 3.32 mm/yr and 3.95 mm/yr respectively. Decreasing pattern of rainfall in post monsoon season may affect the vegetable and fruit production in the winter season

    Background: Association of sleep disorders is found cardiovascular mortality, stroke, diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, immune dysfunction, endocrine impairments, and psychiatric morbidities including depression. Sleep quality affects college students physical and psychological health. Thus, poor sleep quality is a serious problem in college students. This study was done to assess the quality of sleep among undergraduate medical college students, to explore relationship between quality of sleep and body mass index, to study relationship between quality of sleep and anxiety, to study relationship between quality of sleep and depression.Methods: Total 300 medical students were selected by systematic random sampling method i.e. 25 students from each year studying in 3 government medical college were selected. A descriptive questionnaire for all socio-demographic parameters along with validated instrument i.e. for sleep quality, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), for anxiety Hamilton anxiety rating scale and for depression, Becks depression inventory were used for the data collection instruments.Results: Amongst the 300 subjects 189 (63.00%) were found to be poor sleepers. The sleep quality was poor among the subjects who are in final academic year though the difference was not statistically significant (c²=2.78, df=3, p=0.4267). It was found that sleep quality was decreased among overweight and obese persons, but the difference was not statistically significant. (c²=4.657, df=2, p=0.0974). Prevalence of anxiety was found to be more in poor sleepers. Depression was also more common among the poor sleepers and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions: Poor sleep quality was associated with depression and anxiety in students

    AbstractIn communication networks, we need to find the shortest path frequently. For finding the shortest path there are several methods. Travelling salesman problem (TSP) is also a problem of finding a shortest path. TSP has several applications such as planning, logistics, manufacture of microchips, Flight simulation etc. There are several methods for solving TSP such as dynamic programming, branch and bound method and linear programming.Here we analyze a Meta heuristics swarm intelligent approach to solve TSP approximately. An Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a Meta heuristics swarm intelligent optimization technique. An ACO is one of the best methods to find the shortest path. ACO uses parameters called alpha, beta (also called control parameters) and evaporation rate, to find the shortest path on probability basis. We have tried to optimize these parameters to find the path of minimum length and cost

    An overview of organic agriculture: A potential strategy for climate change mitigation

    Get PDF
    Indian agriculture has changed considerably in the past several decades. Since post green revolution era, Indian farming basically shifted from the conventional farming system to towards the mechanized farming system and relies heavily on agricultural inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, heavy farm machineries and irrigation, which are dependent on fossil fuels. Large scale use of these inputs also contributed in emission of greenhouse gases which are mainly responsible for global warming and consequently climate change. Agriculture plays a unique role in the climate change mitigation because of its potential to lower greenhouse gases emissions through carbon sequestration. Organic agriculture is being considered as one of the appropriate farming systems that could serve the twin objectives of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Compared to conventional agriculture, organic agriculture is considered to be more energy efficient and effective both in reducing green house gases emission mainly due to the less use of chemical fertilizers and fossil fuel and enhancing the soil organic carbon. Promotion and adaptation of organic farming in developing country like India can serve as mitigation strategy of climate change

    Heel pain symptom is commonly found in 80% of population in the society. Vatakantaka is the painful condition in which the person can’t walk properly, that hampers his daily activity. Almost all signs and symptoms of Vatakantaka resembles with the condition of chronic plantar fasciitis described by the modern texts.Chronic plantar fasciitis is mostly required analgesic and anti-inflammatory and surgical correction to stabilize the patient as well as to cure the condition, but in developing countries such type of treatment modalities were avoided because of Complications of NSAID, pain, fear and other psychological factors, longer hospitalization and also economical expenses. So there is scope for non surgical treatment modalities with less economical expenditure as well as minimum hospitalization. Agnikarma has Shulahara, Shothahara and Vatahara properties, less painful with minimum expenditure. Hence it can be proved as a most affordable and convenient parasurgical treatment modalities in the developing countries which can provide relevant treatment modalities in medical sciences. In the present study in dependable variables are Agnikarma and Inj. Therapy while dependable variables are Vedana, Stambha, Sparashasahatva, Kriyahani and demographic variables are age, sex, religion, habitat, Prakruti, diet etc.The present study designed as a prospective randomized control single blind clinical trial with hypothesis that, Agnikarna acts as Shulahara, Shothahara and Parasurgical properties in management of Vatakantak. In the present study, 60 patients of Vatakantak will be selected & randomly categorized in to 2 groups, each of comprising 30 Patients. and following hypothesis should be considered. Agnikarma acts as a Shulahara, Shothahara and Parasurgical properties in management of Vatakantak. Result of present study shows significant result in Vatakantak to cure as well as prevent recurrences of the condition

    Federal legislation that has been introduced to amend the Social Security Act in order to provide for coverage of cognitive pharmacist services under the Medicare program in medically underserved communities. In the rural state of Arkansas this legislation would be well-received because a large portion of the state meets the criteria of a health professional shortage area. Considering the growing interest of using telecommunications as an alternative means of delivering healthcare services to medically underserved rural areas, a pharmacist-staffed consumer-oriented drug information service was explored. Over a 5-day period, 473 face-to-face consumer surveys were conducted in pharmacy and non-pharmacy settings in an urban cluster population center that serves the surrounding rural area. The survey was designed to determine whether or not consumers had a perceived need for a drug information service that was independent from and supplemental to services provided by their pharmacist. Results reveal that 71% of participants surveyed did not perceive a need for medication information that was supplemental to that provided by their pharmacist. When queried regarding the likelihood of using a drug information service if one was available their response was neutral, and they became less likely if a fee was associated with the service. While the results are not conclusive and cannot be generalized as to whether a consumer-oriented drug information service would contribute to improving patient care, the survey suggests that this telepharmacy service is not perceived as being needed by the public

    The problem of determining the thermophysical properties of material has been of great interest to scientists and engineers for more than hundred years. The thermophysical study of material has gained much importance recently with the vast development of newer materials. The development, specification, and quality control of materials used in semiconductor devices and thermal management often require the measurement of thermophysical properties where these data can be critical to a successful design........ The experimental results of the thermal diffusivity of the four liquid samples are obtained along with their uncertainties. The total uncertainty assessment has been used for plotting the error bar in the measurement of thermal diffusivity. The reliability of such is evident from its results as compared with the reported values. The deviation from the reported values in literatures are, 6.38%, 9.77%, 10.82%, and 2.74% for the respective samples of ethylene glycol..
