    The power driven three-wheeled road vehicles, typically used in Indian on a large scale, are important part of transportation system in major cities and also becoming increasingly popular in smaller towns. Some of these are designed for commercial use with little engineering consideration and are marked as product in great demand. The next two decades are likely to witness a sharp rise in the use of three-wheelers. The main compelling reasons for this are scarcity of energy resources and space. This paper analyses the static behavior of the body using Finite Element Modeling (FEM). The results obtained from FEM were studied and are compared with those of rigid body modeling. Conclusions were derived from the study and some suggestions are made to improve the performance of vehicle

    Modelling And Study of Motion Control System for Motorized Robot Arm Using Mat Lab And Analysis of The Arm By Using Ansys

    In this paper the Motion control is one of the technological foundations of industrial automation. Putting an object in the correct place with the right amount of force and torque at the right time is essential for efficient manufacturing operation. In the present work modeling of control system for motorized robot arm with a single degree of freedom is done. The results of the control system are also described. The control algorithm was developed by MATLAB software which is widely used in controlling application. In this system the DC motor moves the robot arm to the desired angular position in accordance with the input given

    Novel Dual band SIW Filter Using Quad mode Cavity

    A dual-band bandpass substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter is proposed using a quad-mode cavity in this paper. First two degenerative modes (TE102 and TE201) with via perturbation give the first passband. The second passband is realised by using higher modes (side and diagonal modes of TE202) which are obtained by putting square slot at the center of the cavity. The square slot increases the frequency ratio of the center frequencies of first and second passbands. Moreover, orthogonal feed-lines are used in the proposed design to increase transmission zeros (TZs) which helps to improve the selectivity and out-of-band rejection of the filter. Designed and fabricated a dualband filter prototype using a single layer printed circuit board (PCB) technology, size is only 19 mm × 19 mm. The insertion losses are 2.1 dB and 2.4 dB, and fractional bandwidths of 3.40 per cent and 2.00 per cent at 11.00 and 15.58 GHz, respectively. The measurement results show close agreement with the simulation results

    ABSTRACT The present paper deals with the problem of one-dimensional elastic wave equation with certain boundary conditions. The polynomial solution of this problem is obtained as a polynomial using double interpolation

    Fatty acid composition of serum and tissue lipids in male Indian desert gerbils (Meriones hurrianae; Jerdon) and Wistar rats

    Serum lipids and fatty acid composition of total lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol ester fractions of serum, liver, heart and testes of male Indian desert gerbils (Marianas hurrianae; Jerdon) were analysed and compared with Wistar rats.Triglycerides in serum and liver were similar in gerbils and rats, Significant differences in the distribution of polyunsaturated fatty acids in different lipid fractions were observed between gerbils and rats. Total lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol  ester fractions in rats contained higher levels of arachidonic acid than in gerbils

    COVID-19: Is There Evidence for the Use of Herbal Medicines as Adjuvant Symptomatic Therapy?

    Background: Current recommendations for the self-management of SARS-Cov-2 disease (COVID-19) include self-isolation, rest, hydration, and the use of NSAID in case of high fever only. It is expected that many patients will add other symptomatic/adjuvant treatments, such as herbal medicines. Aims: To provide a benefits/risks assessment of selected herbal medicines traditionally indicated for “respiratory diseases” within the current frame of the COVID-19 pandemic as an adjuvant treatment. Method: The plant selection was primarily based on species listed by the WHO and EMA, but some other herbal remedies were considered due to their widespread use in respiratory conditions. Preclinical and clinical data on their efficacy and safety were collected from authoritative sources. The target population were adults with early and mild flu symptoms without underlying conditions. These were evaluated according to a modified PrOACT-URL method with paracetamol, ibuprofen, and codeine as reference drugs. The benefits/risks balance of the treatments was classified as positive, promising, negative, and unknown. Results: A total of 39 herbal medicines were identified as very likely to appeal to the COVID-19 patient. According to our method, the benefits/risks assessment of the herbal medicines was found to be positive in 5 cases (Althaea officinalis, Commiphora molmol, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Hedera helix, and Sambucus nigra), promising in 12 cases (Allium sativum, Andrographis paniculata, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea purpurea, Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, Justicia pectoralis, Magnolia officinalis, Mikania glomerata, Pelargonium sidoides, Pimpinella anisum, Salix sp, Zingiber officinale), and unknown for the rest. On the same grounds, only ibuprofen resulted promising, but we could not find compelling evidence to endorse the use of paracetamol and/or codeine. Conclusions: Our work suggests that several herbal medicines have safety margins superior to those of reference drugs and enough levels of evidence to start a clinical discussion about their potential use as adjuvants in the treatment of early/mild common flu in otherwise healthy adults within the context of COVID-19. While these herbal medicines will not cure or prevent the flu, they may both improve general patient well-being and offer them an opportunity to personalize the therapeutic approaches
