Auto Agent Commission calculation Using BST
Today almost all insurance companies used online system where everything is automated from starting to policy dispatch. Various insurance policies have been offered online. There are various Business Process Management tools used today for reducing manual efforts and also minimized human errors. With such BPM tools organization able to complete tasks very accurately and economically. In any type of insurance medical and non medical documents play important role. With BPM tools such documents maintain in electronic format by using commercial scanners like captive and provide user interfaces to users of organization where user can view electronic documents along with available business data. In this paper a new functionality is proposed in existing system where insurance policy agents commission calculated using Binary Search Tree where a agent consider as parent node and sub agents as child node. Also this calculated commission will update in other systems which are integrated together with BPM tool. In proposed system we also update calculated commission on different user interfaces wherever its required
Binary Search Tree and Its Applications: A Survey
Binary search trees used as a data structure for rapid access to stored data. Arrays, vectors and linked lists data structures are limited by the trade-off between ability to perform fast search and resize easily. Complete and nearly complete binary search trees are of particularly significance. New version of insert-delete pair maintains random binary tree in a manner where all grandparents in tree always have both sub-trees full. In worst case binary search tree reduce to a linear link list, so reducing such search to sequential. In particular, we obtain a BST data structure that is O(log log n) competitive, satisfies the working set bound, dynamic ?nger bound and unified bound with an additive O(log log n) factor, and performs each access in worst-case O(log n) time
Spice bioactives in edible packaging
Edible packaging received significant attention in recent years. The main advantage of edible packaging over synthetic packaging is that they are environment friendly. The material used in edible packaging (lipids, polysaccharides, proteins) is generally recognized as safe and it acts as a barrier to gases, light and moisture. Spices have been traditionally used for its medicinal value. Spice extract or its essential oil possesses various bioactive compounds which are known for their antioxidant and antimicrobial property. Incorporation of spice extract or its essential oil into edible packaging exerts antimicrobial activity against the food pathogens thus preventing food spoilage and enhances the shelf-life and also increases the nutritional value of the final product. Antioxidant properties of spices retard the lipid oxidation. Dietary allergy and intolerance are also associated with packaging material and spices. Because of the high cost of film-forming material, scaling-up of edible packaging has remained a problem
Incidence of low bone mineral density in patients with advanced prostate cancer before hormonal manipulation
Background: Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men with an estimated 1.3 million cases diagnosed in 2018 according to the most recent International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) report.A large proportion of men still present with advanced disease and in this situation androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the mainstay of treatment.Prostate cancer is largely androgen-dependent and responds to endocrine therapy. ADT is an effective treatment modality which decreases the rate of disease progression, alleviates symptoms, and prolongs patients’ survival. ADT can be achieved through surgery (i.e., bilateral orchidectomy) or medical therapy (gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists, antagonists and antiandrogens).Methods: With the approval from institutional ethic committee, a case control study was planned at the urology outpatient department (OPD) at SMS Hospital from April 2019 to March 2020. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 44 patients with newly diagnosed advanced prostate cancer and requiring hormone manipulation were enrolled in study. Age matched control (age±2 years) was selected from patients attending urology clinics with conditions other than prostate cancer. Ratio of cases and control was kept 1:1. Written consent was taken from all participants.Results: Total 88 patients were enrolled in study, 44 in each group. The age of patients ranged from 57 to 86 years among the case group and 55–85 among the control group. Mean age of cases was 65.24±6.8 and control was 64.98±7.6 years (p=0.25). Body mass index which is calculated with standard formula (weight in kg/height in meter square) was significantly high among controls (24.20±2.46) in comparison to cases (23.42±2.84). Statistically significant difference was observed among case and control groups for PSA (p=0.0001) and serum calcium (p=0.005) however difference for alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D was found insignificant (p>0.05).Conclusions: Low bone mineral density in patients with advanced prostate cancer before hormonal manipulation is nearly 50%. PSA and serum calcium level were significant different among case and control however this difference was not found for ALP, PTH and vitamin D. Consideration should be given to performing BMD studies in these men before initiating treatment, to avoid or minimize potential bone-related complications in these patients
