Completeness of Discrete Translates in H1(R)H^1(\mathbb{R})

We provide a characterization of discrete sets $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$ that admit a function whose $\Lambda$-translates are complete in the Hardy space $H^1(\mathbb{R})$. In particular, we show that such a set cannot be uniformly discrete. We then give a uniformly discrete $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$ which admits a pair of functions such that their $\Lambda$-translates are complete in $H^1(\mathbb{R})$

A Note on the Completeness of All Translates of a Function in the Orlicz Spaces

We give a characterization of those functions whose all translates are complete in certain Orlicz space $L^{\Phi}(\mathbb{R})$. As a consequence, we identified those discrete sets $\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that there exists a function in $L^{\Phi}(\mathbb{R})$ whose $\Lambda$-translates are complete. We then prove the completeness of all translates of any simple step function in other Orlicz spaces

Discrete Translates of an Operator in the Schatten pp-Classes

In this manuscript, we investigate the properties of systems formed by translations of an operator in the Schatten $p$-classes $\mathcal{T}^p$. We establish the existence of Schauder frames of integer translates in $\mathcal{T}^p$ for $p>2$. Later, we provide an instance of a uniformly discrete $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^{2d}$ such that there exists an operator whose $\Lambda$-translates are complete in $\mathcal{T}^p$ for all $p>1$

A Constraint Guided Progressive Sequential Mining Waterfall Model for CRM

CRM has been realized as a core for the growth of any enterprise. This requires both the customer satisfaction and fulfillment of customer requirement, which can only be achieved by analyzing consumer behaviors. The data mining has become an effective tool since often the organizations have large databases of information on customers. However, the traditional data mining techniques have no relevant mechanism to provide guidance for business understanding, model selection and dynamic changes made in the databases. This article helps in understanding and maintaining the requirement of continuous data mining process for CRM in dynamic environment. A novel integrative model, Constraint Guided Progressive SequentialMiningWaterfall (CGPSMW) for knowledge discovery process is proposed. The key performance factors that include management of marketing, sales, knowledge, technology among others those are required for the successful implementation of CRM. We have studied how the sequential pattern mining performed on progressive databases instead of static databases in conjunction with these CRM performance indicators can result in highly efficient and effective useful patterns. This would further help in classification of customers which any enterprise should focus on to achieve its growth and benefit. An organization has limited number of resources that it can only use for valuable customers to reap the fruits of CRM. The different steps of the proposed CGP-SMW model give a detailed elaboration how to keep focus on these customers in dynamic scenarios

Role of the Fas/FasL pathway in HIV or SIV disease

Human immunodeficiency virus disease involves progressive destruction of host immunity leading to opportunistic infections and increased rates for malignancies. Both depletion in immune cell numbers as well as defects in their effector functions are responsible for this immunodeficiency The broad impact of HIV reflects a similarly broad pattern of cell depletion including subsets that do not express viral receptors or support viral replication. Indirect cell killing, the destruction of uninfected cells, is due partly to activation of the Fas/FasL system for cell death. This death-signaling pathway is induced during HIV disease and contributes significantly to viral pathogenesis and disease

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: maternal and fetal outcome and its correlation with serum bile acid levels

Background: Maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes in parturients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) have been retrospectively documented. We aimed to present pregnancy outcomes of parturients with ICP who underwent delivery. The study was conducted during a 1-year period in a tertiary care centre.Methods: Data from 1 January to 31 December 2017 were collected to identify parturients with ICP.Results: Almost 3/4th of births came to a vaginal delivery (76.74%) and only 10 parturients had cesarean delivery. 4 of 10 parturients underwent nonelective cesarean section, while 6 had elective cesarean delivery. 15.15 % vaginal deliveries were instrumental. The most common indications for emergency LSCS and instrumental deliveries was fetal distress followed by failure to progress of labour. Most births occurred at or after 37 weeks of gestation (65%).  Regarding neonatal outcomes in terms of birth weight and Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, they were positive, as well.  None of the babies had Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes. No case of perinatal death was observed.Conclusions: Although the results were generally positive, larger studies need to be conducted to evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes in ICP and correlation with serum bile acid levels

A six year appraisal of caesarean delivery at a teaching hospital in Uttarakhand

Background: Caesarean section is one of the commonest surgical procedures worldwide. Its upward trend and its indications in low resource setting makes regular appraisal of the practice necessary.Methods: A retrospective study. Labour ward logbook and case records were looked into, and all information extracted.Results: The prevalence of caesarean section in the study population was 32.18%. The most common indication of caesarean section was previous caesarean section (33%) followed by fetal distress (26.2%).Conclusions: Risk appraisal and all efforts must be geared towards reducing caesarean section rate. Certain measures have been recommended.

Study of fetomaternal arterial doppler parameters in early onset pre-eclampsia and its correlation with perinatal outcomes

Background: Development of pre-eclampsia (PE) at less than 34 weeks of gestation is known as early onset PE (EOPE) and is commonly associated with more severe adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. The purpose of this study was to study Doppler parameters of uterine, umbilical and fetal middle cerebral arteries exclusively in women with EOPE and its correlation with perinatal outcomes. This study was a hospital-based observational prospective study.Methods: 60 patient of early onset PE with singleton live pregnancy were included in the study and followed up. The results of sonographic and Doppler examination were analysed and correlated with perinatal outcomes.Results: Adverse perinatal outcomes were seen in 66.66% cases of early onset PE. To predict adverse perinatal outcomes, umbilical artery (Umb A) RI, PI were found to be most sensitive, cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) was most specific indicator with highest positive predictive value (PPV). Absent end diastolic flow /reverse end diastolic flow (AEDF/REDF) were ominous signs.Conclusions: Early onset PE is recently considered a more severe disease with different etiopathogenesis. Doppler study is the primary imaging modality for fetomaternal surveillance for follow up and prediction of perinatal outcome, thus allowing planning of timely management in early onset PE patients, as these patients are at higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes

Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change on Crop Yields in Different Agro-climatic Zones of India

The study attempts to estimate and predict climate impact on crop yields using future temperature projections under two climate emissions scenarios of RCP 4.5 and 8.5 for three different time periods (2030s, 2050s and 2080s) across Agro-climatic zones (ACZ) of India. During the period 1966-2011, a significant rise was observed in both the annual mean maximum and minimum temperature across ACZs. Rainfall recorded an annual decline in Himalayan Regions and Gangetic Plains and a rise in Coastal Regions, Plateau & Hills and Western Dry Region. Our results showed high heterogeneity in climate impact on kharif and rabi crop yields (with both negative and positive estimates) across ACZs. It was found that rainfall had a positive effect on most of crop yields, but was not sufficient enough to counterbalance the impact of temperature. Changes in crop yield were more pronounced for higher emission scenario of RCP 8.5. Thus, it was evident that the relative impacts of climate change and the associated vulnerability vary by ACZs, hence comprehensive crop and region-specific adaptation measures should be emphasized that helps in enhancing resilience of agricultural system in short to medium term

Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma Presenting with Refractory Iron Deficiency Anemia – Case Report and Review of Literature

Cancers of the small bowel are relatively rare and account for approximately 1–2% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. The most common histologic subtype – adenocarcinoma – constitutes 40% of all cases. These cancers generally present with vague abdominal discomfort and are often diagnosed at a late stage and carry a poor prognosis. The treatment of choice of early-stage small bowel adenocarcinoma is surgical resection. No standard treatment protocol has been defined for unresectable or metastatic disease. Here, we report a case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with unexplained iron deficiency anemia. Extensive initial studies with serial CT scans of the abdomen, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, small bowel capsule endoscopy and colonoscopy were noncontributory. She was later found to have a metastatic small bowel adenocarcinoma and treated with palliative chemotherapy. She achieved a modest response to the treatment. Interestingly, in our case, the sole presentation was unexplained iron deficiency anemia. Physician's awareness regarding the possibility of small bowel cancer especially in the setting of iron deficiency and its workup has been emphasized. This enhances the chance of early detection and hence better survival
