    In daily routine life the use of bearing is very essential, as we use many house hold devices like washing machines, water motors, bikes, cars and many moredevices. Without bearings there can be a friction between two surfaces which will reduce the life of any device. So to overcome all these problems there should be some way which will give us better efficiency with greater throughput. And it should also give us higher rate of efficiency. On the other hand the bearings are used for less clearance, which will enhance the life. The bearings which were initially designed expected to limit the rate of rotation and now developed to provide us higher rates with large range in limited rotations. These bearings are used by many houses for their devices as well as in machinery and those machineries are owed by the industries.By the use of bearings the friction between two surfaces is avoided or more over it is reduced which increases the life of the devices

    Fusarium wilt is one of the major diseases of tomato causing extensive loss of production. Exploration of agriculturally important microbes (AIMs) for management of the tomato wilt is an ecofriendly and cost effective approach. In the present study, a total 30 Trichoderma and 30 bacterial isolates were screened in the laboratory for their biocontrol activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL). Out of all the isolates tested, Trichoderma asperellum BHU P-1 and Ochrobactrum sp. BHU PB-1 were found to show maximum inhibition of FOL in dual culture assay. Both the microbes also exhibited plant growth promoting activities such as phosphate solubilisation, production of siderophore, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), indole acetic acid (IAA) and protease activity. These microbes could be evaluated further in greenhouse and field studies for their potential use in management of Fusarium wilt of tomato

    Wstęp: Niniejszą opinię ekspertów opracowano w celu omówienia epidemiologii i patofizjologii chorób układu sercowo-naczyniowego (CVD) u chorych na cukrzycę typu 2 (T2DM), wyjaśnienia różnych zagadnień statystycznych i niuansów w interpretacji wyników badań oceniających bezpieczeństwo sercowo-naczyniowe (CVOT) ze szczególnym zaakcentowaniem badań typu CVOT dotyczących insulinoterapii i ich wpływu badań na wybór preparatów insuliny w codziennej praktyce klinicznej. Metody: Grupa ekspertów krytycznie przeanalizowała opublikowane dane z badań obserwacyjnych, badań klinicznych z randomizacją, metaanaliz i badań CVOT dotyczących bezpieczeństwa stosowania preparatów insuliny w odniesieniu do układu sercowo-naczyniowego i uzgodniła serię opinii popartych dostępnymi dowodami naukowymi i oceną kliniczną ekspertów. Wyniki: Wielu chorych na T2DM charakteryzuje się wysokim ryzykiem CVD i zgonu sercowo-naczyniowego, które częściowo wynika z czynników ryzyka związanychz insulinoopornością i hiperglikemią. W ciągu ostatniej dekady badania CVOT stały się integralną częścią procesu rejestracji leków przeciwcukrzycowych przez Amerykańską Agencję ds. Żywności i Leków (FDA). Większość obecnie stosowanych preparatów insulinowych, poza kilkoma opracowanymi w ostatnich latach insulinami, dopuszczono do obrotu długo przed wprowadzeniem tego wymogu rejestracyjnego, a zatem nie poddano ich rygorystycznym badaniom CVOT. Istnieje wiele danych obserwacyjnych dotyczących sercowo-naczyniowego bezpieczeństwa stosowania preparatów insuliny. Dane te są często niejednoznaczne, a czasami — sprzeczne. W tym kontekście należy zauważyć, że badania CVOT dwóch analogów insuliny bazowej — insuliny glargine ocenianej w badaniu Basal Insulin and Cardiovascular and Other Outcomes in Dysglycemia Trial (ORIGIN) i insuliny degludec ocenianej w badaniu Efficacy and Safety of Degludec versus Glargine in Type 2 Diabetes Trial (DEVOTE) — wykazały długoterminowe bezpieczeństwo sercowo-naczyniowe ich stosowania. Badanie DEVOTE dostarczyło dodatkowych danych o bezpieczeństwie, wskazujących, że stosowanie insuliny degludec wiązało się z mniejszą liczbą epizodów ciężkiej hipoglikemii niż stosowanie insuliny glargine. Wnioski: W niniejszej pracy dokonano krytycznej analizy dwóch badań CVOT oceniających analogi insuliny bazowej w połączeniu z ogólnym przeglądem meto-dologicznych i interpretacyjnych aspektów badań typu CVOT. Omówiono długoterminowe bezpieczeństwo sercowo-naczyniowe stosowania analogów insuliny bazowej. Za główną lukę badawczą w tej dziedzinie uznano brak badań CVOT z mieszankami insulin ludzkich i analogów insulinowych

    Randomized Clinical Trial of High-Dose Rifampicin With or Without Levofloxacin Versus Standard of Care for Pediatric Tuberculous Meningitis: The TBM-KIDS Trial

    Get PDF
    Background. Pediatric tuberculous meningitis (TBM) commonly causes death or disability. In adults, high-dose rifampicin may reduce mortality. The role of fluoroquinolones remains unclear. There have been no antimicrobial treatment trials for pediatric TBM. Methods. TBM-KIDS was a phase 2 open-label randomized trial among children with TBM in India and Malawi. Participants received isoniazid and pyrazinamide plus: (i) high-dose rifampicin (30 mg/kg) and ethambutol (R30HZE, arm 1); (ii) high-dose rifampicin and levofloxacin (R30HZL, arm 2); or (iii) standard-dose rifampicin and ethambutol (R15HZE, arm 3) for 8 weeks, followed by 10 months of standard treatment. Functional and neurocognitive outcomes were measured longitudinally using Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) and Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL). Results. Of 2487 children prescreened, 79 were screened and 37 enrolled. Median age was 72 months; 49%, 43%, and 8% had stage I, II, and III disease, respectively. Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 58%, 55%, and 36% of children in arms 1, 2, and 3, with 1 death (arm 1) and 6 early treatment discontinuations (4 in arm 1, 1 each in arms 2 and 3). By week 8, all children recovered to MRS score of 0 or 1. Average MSEL scores were significantly better in arm 1 than arm 3 in fine motor, receptive language, and expressive language domains (P < .01). Conclusions. In a pediatric TBM trial, functional outcomes were excellent overall. The trend toward higher frequency of adverse events but better neurocognitive outcomes in children receiving high-dose rifampicin requires confirmation in a larger trial.

    Enhanced electron acceleration by a chirped tightly focused laser in vacuum in the presence of axial magnetic field

    No full text
    The paper presents a scheme of vacuum electron acceleration due to tightly focused linearly polarized (LP) frequency chirped laser in the presence external magnetic field. The focused terawatt chirped laser pulse and the external axial magnetic field enable the electron of few MeV initial energy to attain high energy in GeV range, hence, explore the possibility of efficient electron acceleration. This can be achieved by optimizing the focused terawatt chirped laser and axial magnetic field parameters for resonance, which is realized between the electron and electric field of the tightly focused laser pulse. The frequency chirp plays a crucial role in enforcing resonance condition for longer duration and the applied magnetic field strongly enforces the electron to remain in the accelerating phase, thereby, both factors are equally imperative for accomplishing high electron energy gain in GeV. The presence of optimum axial magnetic field (~8.5 MG) along with optimum value of linear frequency chirp for laser intensity 1.38 × 1020 W/cm2 results in electron beam with energy ~5.78 GeV. During acceleration process, electron energy gain is highly sensitive to the initial phase of laser along with the frequency chirp and magnetic field. Electron trajectories in the influence of frequency chirp and magnetic field are also analyzed

    Efficient electron acceleration by radially polarized Hermite-Cosh-Gaussian laser beam in an ion channel

    No full text
    Radially polarized (RP) Hermite-Cosh-Gaussian (HChG) laser beam has been employed to study electron acceleration in an ion channel. As RP-HChG laser beam focus earlier, depending on this property electron acquires high order energy over short periods of time. The ion channel generates an electric field that prevents electrons from escaping from the interaction zone and maintains betatron resonance. Electron’s energy gain has been analyzed by varying different parameters like: intensity parameter (a0{\text{a}}_{0}), laser spot size (r0{\text{r}}_{0}), decentered parameter (b{\text{b}}), ion density (ni{\text{n}}_{{\text{i}}}). The combined effect of RP-HChG laser beam and ion channel causes an efficient energy enhancement of electron in the order of GeV. RP-HChG beam is a unique kind of laser beam, combining the characteristics of both Hermite Gaussian and hyperbolic cosine Gaussian modes. It can be tightly focused to produce a small spot with a high-intensity region at the focal point
