    The cloud has become an important phrase in data storage for many reasons. Cloud services and applications are widespread in many industries including healthcare due to easy access. The limitless quantity of data available on the clouds has triggered the interest of many researchers in the recent past. It has forced us to deploy machine learning for analyzing the data to get insights as well as model building. In this paper, we have built a service on Heroku Cloud which is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) and has 15 thousand records with 25 features. The data belongs to healthcare and is related to post-surgery complications. The boost prediction algorithm was applied for analysis and implementation was done in python. The results helped us to determine and tune some of the hyperparameters which have correlations with complications and the reported accuracy of training and testing was found to be 91% and 88% respectively

    Objective: This study aims to investigate the ameliorative role of dietary bee honey and royal jelly against cisplatin-induced alterations in hematological parameters in male wistar albino rat.Methods: Male wistar albino rats of same age and weight were randomly divided into four groups; G, I: control group which was given 0.9% saline, G: II: cisplatin (7 mg/kg/d) was injected intraperitoneally for 15 d, G, III bee honey with royal jelly (500 mg/kg/d of honey and 100 mg/kg/d of royal jelly) fed orally daily for 15 d, G, IV: cisplatin (7 mg/kg/d) was injected intraperitoneally and honey (500 mg/kg/d) and royal Jelly (100 mg/kg/d) fed orally daily for 15 d. The hematological parameters like total number of white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, % of hemoglobin (Hb), and mean values of packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were measured by using automated hematology system.Results: Cisplatin treated rats revealed a significant decrease in total number of white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (R. B. Cs), platelets, percentage of hemoglobin (Hb), and mean values of packed cell volume (PCV), corpuscular volume (MCV) and corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) as compared to control group. Royal jelly and honey treated group of rats revealed a significant increase in all blood parameters compared to control group. Dietary bee honey with royal jelly along with cisplatin-treated rats revealed significant increas as compared to animals treated with cisplatin (G, II) and the computed significant valus for the above parameters are 10.00, 2.30, 8,54, 12.00, 35.00, 47.40 and 32,30 respectively.Conclusion: Bee honey and royal jelly could be used as dietary preventive natural products against cisplatin-induced hematological alterations during the treatment of cancer

    Deviations from Matthiessen’s rule and resistivity saturation effects in Gd and Fe from first principles

    According to earlier first-principles calculations, the spin-disorder contribution to the resistivity of rare-earth metals in the paramagnetic state is strongly underestimated if Matthiessen’s rule is assumed to hold. To understand this discrepancy, the resistivity of paramagnetic Fe and Gd is evaluated by taking into account both spin and phonon disorder. Calculations are performed using the supercell approach within the linear muffin-tin orbital method. Phonon disorder is modeled by introducing random displacements of the atomic nuclei, and the results are compared with the case of fictitious Anderson disorder. In both cases, the resistivity shows a nonlinear dependence on the square of the disorder potential, which is interpreted as a resistivity saturation effect. This effect is much stronger in Gd than in Fe. The nonlinearity makes the phonon and spin-disorder contributions to the resistivity nonadditive, and the standard procedure of extracting the spin-disorder resistivity by extrapolation from high temperatures becomes ambiguous. An “apparent” spin-disorder resistivity obtained through such extrapolation is in much better agreement with experiment compared to the results obtained by considering only spin disorder. By analyzing the spectral function of the paramagnetic Gd in the presence of Anderson disorder, the resistivity saturation is explained by the collapse of a large area of the Fermi surface due to the disorder-induced mixing between the electron and hole sheets

    Studies on Characteristic of Extracellular L–Glutaminase and Identification of L-Glutaminase Producing Bacterial Strain from Cattle Feeding Farm of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra State, India

    L-glutaminase is gaining marked importance due to its potential clinical applications. A variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and lamentous fungi, from soil habitat have been reported to produce L-glutaminase. The present investigation was carried out to isolate and screening of L-glutamiase producing bacteria from soil samples of cattle feeding sites. Among twenty three soil samples of cattle feeding farms around Aurangabad, nineteen bacteria’s were isolated. From that one isolate (AGT-19) that showed significant L-glutaminase activity. Morphological characteristics and 16S rRNA sequencing were used for phylogenetic analysis to identified strain AGT-19 as Kurthia gibsonii. Moreover, Kurthia gibsonii was grown in a medium containing 2.5% succinate and 2.5% L-glutamine showed significant activity of L-glutaminase (0.079 U/mg). The optimum conditions for L-glutaminase production were temperature was 39°C and pH was 7.0. The present isolation of K. gibsonii from cattle feeding site indicated that this bacterium is suitably adapted to the environment of excretion and to point of forming a microbiota in the fecal product. It revealed that soil of cattle feeding farm has diverse bacterial strains and its habitat nature allowed the bacteria expressed the protease activity
