    An Advanced Conceptual Diagnostic Healthcare Framework for Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disorders

    Full text link
    The data mining along with emerging computing techniques have astonishingly influenced the healthcare industry. Researchers have used different Data Mining and Internet of Things (IoT) for enrooting a programmed solution for diabetes and heart patients. However, still, more advanced and united solution is needed that can offer a therapeutic opinion to individual diabetic and cardio patients. Therefore, here, a smart data mining and IoT (SMDIoT) based advanced healthcare system for proficient diabetes and cardiovascular diseases have been proposed. The hybridization of data mining and IoT with other emerging computing techniques is supposed to give an effective and economical solution to diabetes and cardio patients. SMDIoT hybridized the ideas of data mining, Internet of Things, chatbots, contextual entity search (CES), bio-sensors, semantic analysis and granular computing (GC). The bio-sensors of the proposed system assist in getting the current and precise status of the concerned patients so that in case of an emergency, the needful medical assistance can be provided. The novelty lies in the hybrid framework and the adequate support of chatbots, granular computing, context entity search and semantic analysis. The practical implementation of this system is very challenging and costly. However, it appears to be more operative and economical solution for diabetes and cardio patients.Comment: 11 PAGE

    Further Series Studies of the Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Antiferromagnet at T=0: Magnon Dispersion and Structure Factors

    Full text link
    We have extended our previous series studies of quantum antiferromagnets at zero temperature by computing the one-magnon dispersion curves and various structure factors for the linear chain, square and simple cubic lattices. Many of these results are new; others are a substantial extension of previous work. These results are directly comparable with neutron scattering experiments and we make such comparisons where possible.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, revised versio

    Type-I superconductivity in noncentrosymmetric superconductor AuBe

    Full text link
    The noncentrosymmetric superconductor AuBe have been investigated using the magnetization, resistivity, specific heat, and muon-spin relaxation/rotation measurements. AuBe crystallizes in the cubic FeSi-type B20 structure with superconducting transition temperature observed at TcT_{c} = 3.2 ±\pm 0.1 K. The low-temperature specific heat data, CelC_{el}(T), indicate a weakly-coupled fully gapped BCS superconductivity with an isotropic energy gap 2Δ(0)/kBTc\Delta(0)/k_{B}T_{c} = 3.76, which is close to the BCS value of 3.52. Interestingly, type-I superconductivity is inferred from the μ\muSR measurements, which is in contrast with the earlier reports of type-II superconductivity in AuBe. The Ginzburg-Landau parameter is κGL\kappa_{GL} = 0.4 << 1/2\sqrt{2}. The transverse-field μ\muSR data transformed in the maximum entropy spectra depicting the internal magnetic field probability distribution, P(H), also confirms the absence of the mixed state in AuBe. The thermodynamic critical field, HcH_{c}, calculated to be around 259 Oe. The zero-field μ\muSR results indicate that time-reversal symmetry is preserved and supports a spin-singlet pairing in the superconducting ground state.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure

    Noncommutative gravity, a `no strings attached' quantum-classical duality, and the cosmological constant puzzle

    Full text link
    There ought to exist a reformulation of quantum mechanics which does not refer to an external classical spacetime manifold. Such a reformulation can be achieved using the language of noncommutative differential geometry. A consequence which follows is that the `weakly quantum, strongly gravitational' dynamics of a relativistic particle whose mass is much greater than Planck mass is dual to the `strongly quantum, weakly gravitational' dynamics of another particle whose mass is much less than Planck mass. The masses of the two particles are inversely related to each other, and the product of their masses is equal to the square of Planck mass. This duality explains the observed value of the cosmological constant, and also why this value is nonzero but extremely small in Planck units.Comment: 7 pages.
