Two-word and Three-word Disambiguation Rules for Telugu Language Sentences: A Practical Approach

This paper describes Two-word and Three-word Disambiguation Rules for Telugu language sentences, which are written in WX-notation. Generally in real life good number of words, which are having many meanings. If a word has many meanings, then we can call it as a word ambiguity. To resolve a word ambiguity, Natural Language Processing (NLP) system having lot of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) [1] methods. Among many methods, here we are proposing rule based method for Word Sense Disambiguation

Effect of Silambam Practice on Body Composition Agility and Cardiovascular Endurance among College Girls

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of Silambam practice on body composition and cardio vascular endurance among college girls. Silambam fencing is a martial art native to the soil of Tamil Nadu. It has been originated from 3000 B.C and practiced by the pre-historic Dravidian Tamils who were dwelling from the Mohan-ja-daro & Harappa regions and is still practiced today. To achieve the purpose of this study, 40 sedentary college girls were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged from 18 to 20 years. The subjects were further classified at random into two equal groups of 20 subjects each. Group - I underwent Silambam training for three days per week for sixteen weeks and group - II acted as control. The selected criterion variables namely body weight, BMI, lean body mass, percent body fat and cardio vascular endurance were assessed before and after the training period. The collected data were statistically analysed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). From the results of the study it was found that there was a significant improvement in cardio vascular endurance and significant reduction in body weight, BMI, lean body mass, and percent body fat with no significant change in agility among the experimental group when compared with the control group

On Optimizing Distributed Tucker Decomposition for Dense Tensors

The Tucker decomposition expresses a given tensor as the product of a small core tensor and a set of factor matrices. Apart from providing data compression, the construction is useful in performing analysis such as principal component analysis (PCA)and finds applications in diverse domains such as signal processing, computer vision and text analytics. Our objective is to develop an efficient distributed implementation for the case of dense tensors. The implementation is based on the HOOI (Higher Order Orthogonal Iterator) procedure, wherein the tensor-times-matrix product forms the core routine. Prior work have proposed heuristics for reducing the computational load and communication volume incurred by the routine. We study the two metrics in a formal and systematic manner, and design strategies that are optimal under the two fundamental metrics. Our experimental evaluation on a large benchmark of tensors shows that the optimal strategies provide significant reduction in load and volume compared to prior heuristics, and provide up to 7x speed-up in the overall running time.Comment: Preliminary version of the paper appears in the proceedings of IPDPS'1

Critical dynamics of nonconserved NN-vector model with anisotropic nonequilibrium perturbations

We study dynamic field theories for nonconserving $N$-vector models that are subject to spatial-anisotropic bias perturbations. We first investigate the conditions under which these field theories can have a single length scale. When N=2 or $N \ge 4$, it turns out that there are no such field theories, and, hence, the corresponding models are pushed by the bias into the Ising class. We further construct nontrivial field theories for N=3 case with certain bias perturbations and analyze the renormalization-group flow equations. We find that the three-component systems can exhibit rich critical behavior belonging to two different universality classes.Comment: Included RG analysis and discussion on new universality classe

Implications of z>∼12z>{\sim}12 JWST galaxies for galaxy formation at high redshift

Using a semi-analytic galaxy-formation model, we study analogues of 8 recently discovered JWST galaxies at $z>{\sim}12$. We select analogues from a cosmological simulation with a $(311{\rm cMpc})^3$ volume and an effective particle number of $10^{12}$ enabling resolution of every atomic-cooling galaxy at $z{\le}20$. We vary model parameters to reproduce the observed UV luminosity function of $5{<}z{<}13$, aiming for a statistically representative high-redshift galaxy mock catalogue. Using the forward-modelled JWST photometry, we identify analogues from this catalogue and study their properties as well as possible evolutionary paths and local environments. We find faint JWST galaxies ($M_{\rm UV}>{\sim}-19.5$) remain consistent with standard galaxy-formation model and that our fiducial catalogue includes large samples of their analogues. The properties of these analogues broadly agree with conventional SED fitting results, except for having systematically lower redshifts due to the evolving UV luminosity function, and for having higher specific star formation rates as a result of burstier histories in our model. On the other hand, only a handful of bright galaxy analogues can be identified for observed $z{\sim}12$ galaxies. Moreover, in order to reproduce $z>{\sim}16$ JWST galaxy candidates, boosted star-forming efficiencies and reduced feedback regulation are necessary relative to models of lower-redshift populations. This suggests star formation in the first galaxies could differ significantly from their lower-redshift counterparts. We also find that these candidates are subject to low-redshift contamination, which is present in our fiducial results as both the dusty or quiescent galaxies at $z{\sim}5$.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figures, submitted to MNRAS, comments welcome

Phase transitions in periodically driven macroscopic systems

We study the large-time behavior of a class of periodically driven macroscopic systems. We find, for a certain range of the parameters of either the system or the driving fields, the time-averaged asymptotic behavior effectively is that of certain other equilibrium systems. We then illustrate with a few examples how the conventional knowledge of the equilibrium systems can be made use in choosing the driving fields to engineer new phases and to induce new phase transitions.Comment: LaTex, 8 page

Functional outcome of elbow joint in AO type 13C fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation using dual plates

Background: Distal end of the humerus, with its unique orientation of articular surfaces supported by a meagre amount of cancellous bone, makes its fracture a constant challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Aim of the study is to evaluate the functional outcome of surgical management of intercondylar AO type C fractures of distal end of humerus using dual plating.Methods: A prospective study was conducted at our hospital between January 2015 to December 2016. Thirty five consecutive patients with intercondylar (AO Type C) fracture of distal humerus, included in study as per inclusion criteria. All patients were treated surgically using triceps reflecting approach and posterior trans-olecranon approach with ulnar nerve exploration and fixation using dual plating and tension band wiring for olecranon osteotomy wherever done.Results: In 35 patients, final results using MEPS scoring system excellent outcome is noticed in 15 patients (42.86%), good results is noticed in 13 patients (37.14%), fair result is noticed in 5 patients (14.29%) and poor result is noticed in 2 patients (5.71%). There was statistical significant difference in flexion range of movement arc at 2 and 6 months in our study.Conclusions: Open reduction and internal fixation of AO type 13C fractures is challenge to surgeon, preoperative planning and mastering the technique over a period of time gives good to excellent functional outcomes.

Frequency and clinical significance of localized adverse events following mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis in an endemic area in South India

Fear of adverse events (AEs) negatively affects compliance to mass drug administration (MDA) for lymphatic filariasis (LF) elimination program. Systemic AEs are believed to occur because of killing of microfilariae, whereas localized soft tissue reactions might be due to the death of adult worms following therapy. Most AEs are mild and self-limited. However, localized AEs are sometimes more significant and of concern to participants. Here, we describe localized AEs that were noted during a large community study that evaluated the safety of a triple-drug regimen (ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine, and albendazole) for the treatment of LF in India. We have also discussed the importance of timely detection and careful management of AEs for preserving community confidence in MDA
