A study on mean TSH levels and various perinatal factors affecting TSH level in cord blood of newborn

Congenital hypothyroidism is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation .Neonatal screening methods measure either cord blood TSH or heel prick sample .Cord blood TSH has high sensitivity but with a high false positive values due to confounding factors and requires evaluation. In our study emergency lscs, low apgar score and requirement of resuscitation affects cord blood TSH levels. y of life . All venous sample TSH levels found to be lower than cut off TSH levels and reveals that the high cord blood TSH levels are due to perinatal stress factors such as emergency LSCS, resuscitation and low apgar score which has significant positive correlation as evidenced with P values in our study

Investigation Of Tyre Pressure Drop Phenomenon Using Specially Designed Real-Time Data Mining And Storage System

Tyre pressure plays an important role in ensuring safe operation and performance of a motor vehicle. Improper monitoring of tyre pressure always results in reduction of gas mileage, tyre life, vehicle safety and performance. Studies reflects that, properly inflated tyres can increase tyre life span up to 20% which is equivalent to nine months of its life span, save fuel from 4% to 10%, increase braking efficiency up to 20%, lightens steering system and ease self-steer. Monitoring proper tyre pressure using manual gauges are less effective as they tend to provide slight gap at the valve for air leakage during pressure checking. Therefore, a device called tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is used in the current research to efficiently monitor air pressure and temperature in the tyre of a motor vehicle which then generates a signal indicative of the pressure and temperature in each of the tyre thus increasing the monitoring system of a vehicle and its safety. This paper presents a “cost-effective” real-time data plotting application based on LabVIEW graphical user interface using a TPMS device. Notably, the entire system is tailored to the situation whereby with the existence of this interface; tyre researches and scientist would able to effectively monitor and simultaneously plot the tyre pressure and temperature data even at dynamic condition

Bioinformatics: Scope of Intellectual Property Protection

46-51Bioinformatics is a new field of science which marks amalgamation of one of the oldest areas of research and deliberation in human civilization, life sciences, with one of the latest and still largely developing areas, information technology. This paper is a study of this field of bioinformatics and scope and application of intellectual property rights (IPR) to this area. The paper seeks to understand basics of bioinformatics, through an examination of varied definitions on offer. Various streams of research, which constitute, or rather create a need, for bioinformatics are looked upon. The paper examines trend of growth in this field, and analyses factors which necessitate contemplation of applying IPR. Objections that have been raised to the application of IPR to the innovations and inventions in this field are also covered. Finally, the paper makes an assessment of the exact nature of IPR which will best suit the field of bioinformatics

Air Permeability Investigation Towards Automotive Tyre Pressure Sustainability and Life Saving

One of the main reasons for major road accidents which often lead into loss of life's is the catastrophic tyre failure caused by vehicles running with improper tyre pressure. The phenomena where tyre loses pressure naturally and contracts over time is called air permeation, which is identified to be the main cause of tyre to deflate but rarely can be realised by naked eyes. Properly inflated tyres can safe tyre life up to 20% which is equivalent to nine months of its life span, save fuel from 4% to 10%, increase braking efficiency up to 20%, lightens steering system and ease selfsteer. Therefore, this paper reveals the investigation findings by analysing the factors that affect the air permeation that eventually causes pressure loss in an automotive tyre. The experimentations were performed in both static and dynamic conditions where they were also tested with and without loaded situation to extract precise data of the pressure loss from tyre. The results show that no matter what type of tyre or condition it undergoes, it still experience pressure drop but at different rate subjected to air properties, temperature, tyre materials and mechanical fittings of the wheel. © 20062015 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN)

Not AvailableNanotechnology has opened up new vistas for applications in almost all the disciplines of veterinary and animal sciences. Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used as an alternative to antibiotics in animal feed. It has also been widely used for wound healing and various skin disorders. Recently ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted attention owing to their unique features. There can be numerous applications of ZnO NPs due to their antibacterial, antineoplastic, wound healing, ultraviolet scattering and angiogenic properties. These have also been used to promote tissue repair, as a food preservative and as feed additive. This paper reviews the recent developments in ZnO NPs research and its potential for application in animal health and production.Not Availabl
